Abstract

The purpose of doing this project is to study the oil being used in stamping machine at Miyazu is the main cause of dings and dent of the stamped automotive parts. The FT-iR spectrum of clean and used oil is analyzed using the difference spectroscopy method to pinpoint the impurities, oxidation and water content level which is identified as the main cause of cleaning degradation. This achieved through a series of systematic experiments through following studies. The studies of oil used in production line tools is covered the properties of clean oil. The results are beneficial in order to understand the original characteristics of materials used in this investigation. In order to determine the sources of the contaminant, several aspects of the mechanism of oil flow, oil recycle and cleaning actions and is studied in details. The results are the important input for oil particle analysis. The oil quality is investigated by using FTIR Spectroscopy equipments. The samples of clean oil and used oil in four stage process at upper die and lower die stamping machine area is analyzed of water content in oil, soot loading (resulting in increased wear and viscosity), oxidation, nitration, antiwear components, sulfating (sulfate by-products), and ethylene glycol contamination. The result is important to identifj the main cause of cleaning degradation and part rejection.
