Sustainable Storage – Use of metallography as a solution for the development of a new device

Abstract

Wooden pallets are the most used resources in the storage of tools in the pressing area, in which components for the automotive industry are modeled. The objective of this work was to develop a metallic rack in carbon steel SAE 1020 to store the set of cutting, drilling and folding tools. The methodology used in the execution of this project was the microstructural characterization of the SAE 1020 materials by metallography techniques, hardness, mechanical modeling and simulation, development of the metallic Rack design by technical detailing in 2D via AutoCad® for the prototype, sometimes in 3D through virtual modeling Cliever Lab (Pro)® with Mock-up Create Buildings. The result achieved so far through the development of the Metal Rack has been a reduction in environmental liabilities, greater security in storage and reduction in tooling movement time.
