A continuous shear deformation apparatus comprises: a roller for pushing a metal sheet to be processed into dies; the dies having an inlet for introducing a metal sheet, a shear deformation zone for shear-deforming the sheet, and an exit; and a control unit for controlling a gap of the dies exit depending on the compressive stress generated at the metal sheet while the metal sheet passes through the shear deformation zone of the dies. The compressive stress generated at the metal sheet becomes constant when the metal sheet is shear-deformed, and thereby the thickness of the metal sheet is uniformly controlled in a longitudinal direction.

Continuous shear-deformation apparatus for controlling thickness uniformity of a metal sheet

The present invention relates to a continuous shear deformation device, in particular, which is capable of mass-producing shear deformed materials by continuously supplying a sharply bent channel type mold with materials, particularly, which have a variety of thickness from thin sheet to thick plate. The continuous shear deformation device in accordance with the present invention includes a sharply bent channel type mold and a rotary guide apparatus installed at the inlet of the mold for guiding materials into the mold by frictional contact with the materials. In addition, the present invention can additionally include a rotary guide for exiting the shear-deformed material.

Continuous shear deformation device

The present invention relates to a continuous shear deformation device. In order to occur shear deformation at the position at which a material is inserted into a molding path from a rotary guide apparatus for the purpose of solving the problem that the amount of shear deformation of a material is non-uniform and insufficient due to the gap between the curved portion of the molding path and the lower parts of the material, there is provided a continuous shear deformation device, characterized in that a curved portion is constructed by collaboration between the rotary guide apparatus and the molding path. In addition, there are provided additional constructions for effectively performing shear deformation by a small power by reducing the friction at the molding path excepting the curved portion. The present invention thusly constructed can be utilized for continuously and effectively mass-produce sheared materials.

The present invention relates to a shear deformation device. To improve the productivity by solving the problem that the amount of shear deformation of a material is not uniform and sufficient due to the gap between the curved portion of the molding path and the lower parts of the material and omitting any additional process for removing irregularity and surface products on the surface of the material, there is provided a shear deformation device capable of scalping, characterized in that a scalping guide path which allows the surface of the material to be separated from the other portions of the material as the material is scalped at a predetermined thickness when passing through the curved portion during shear deformation is formed in the curved portion in communication with the molding path. In addition, there are provided additional constructions for effectively performing shear deformation by a small power by reducing the friction at the molding path excepting the curved portion. The present invention thusly constructed can be utilized for continuously and effectively mass-produce sheared materials.
