Development of Finite Element models for a Swaging process

位于安大略省密西索加的Mersen Canada Toronto Inc.(http://ep-ca.mersen.com)是电力行业的领先者 工业，制造各种电子元件，包括保险丝、开关、功率电阻器、直流母线接触器、 叠层母线和散热器。电力使用量的增长导致了对散热片的需求增加，以冷却高功率设备，如转换器和电机。这为像默森这样的公司提供了增加 他们的产量和融入大批量生产市场，使他们能够创造更多的就业机会和更高的收入 利润。目前，默森使用旋压工艺生产高质量的散热器，并正在寻求优化这一工艺。 与安大略省汉密尔顿麦克马斯特大学的吴博士合作。解决方案将由以下开发驱动 基于有限元(FE)的模型，以准确模拟旋压过程。该模式将促进对两者的改进 工艺和部件设计，重点是提高生产效率和消除当前的问题。

Located in Mississauga, Ontario, Mersen Canada Toronto Inc. (http://ep-ca.mersen.com) is a leader in the electrical power industry, manufacturing a variety of electronic components including fuses, switches, power resistors, DC bar contactors, laminated busbar and heat sinks. The growing use of electricity has led to an increased need for heat sinks to cool high power devices, such as converters and electric motors. This presents the opportunity for companies like Mersen to increase their output and merge into the high volume production market, allowing them to create more jobs and earn higher profits. Currently, Mersen uses a swaging process to produce high quality heat sinks and is seeking to optimize this process in partnership with Dr. Wu at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. A solution will be driven by the development of a Finite Element (FE) based model to accurately simulate the swaging process. The model will facilitate improvements to both the process as well as component design with emphasis on increasing production efficiency and eliminating current issues.
