How to optimize an interference fit for a sheet metal ring

In summary, the conversation discusses the design of an interference fit for a 1.5 mm thick SS ring that will be supporting a specific amount of loading. The ring will be bent outwards at a specific angle and will be fitted with a 1.5 mm thick SS sheet metal can without any groove. The main question is what equations to use to optimize the radial interference for the specified loading. The person being asked also asks for clarification on the nature of the problem and the level of technical knowledge of the person inquiring.

Hi,
I am new to this forum. I need to design an interference fit for a 1.5 mm thick SS ring. The interference fit is between this ring and another 1.5 mm thick SS sheet metal can without any groove. The ring is bent outwards at a specific angle.(please refer attached image)

We know amount of loading that would come on this ring and will have to be supported by flat land on the ring.

What equations should I refer to solve this and optimize the radial interference for specified loading coming on the ring?

There is a way of working this out but it would take a lot of explaining .

Is this a homework problem or a real engineering problem ?

What is your level of technical knowledge ?
 

1. How do you determine the interference fit tolerance for a sheet metal ring?

The interference fit tolerance for a sheet metal ring is typically determined by calculating the difference in diameter between the inner and outer ring. This difference should be small enough to create a tight fit, but not so large that it causes deformation or damage to the ring.

2. What factors should be considered when optimizing an interference fit for a sheet metal ring?

When optimizing an interference fit for a sheet metal ring, factors such as the material properties of the ring and the mating surface, the temperature and humidity conditions, and the desired level of interference should all be taken into account. Additionally, the manufacturing process and assembly method should also be considered.

3. How can I ensure a proper interference fit for a sheet metal ring?

To ensure a proper interference fit for a sheet metal ring, it is important to carefully measure and control the dimensions of both the ring and the mating surface. Additionally, using lubrication or thermal expansion techniques can help facilitate the fitting process and reduce the risk of damage to the ring.

4. What are the potential risks of an interference fit for a sheet metal ring?

The main risk of an interference fit for a sheet metal ring is the possibility of damaging the ring or the mating surface during the fitting process. It is important to carefully monitor and control the amount of interference to avoid excessive force or deformation.

5. Are there any alternative methods to achieve a tight fit for a sheet metal ring?

Yes, there are alternative methods to achieve a tight fit for a sheet metal ring, such as using adhesives, snap fits, or press fits. However, these methods may not provide the same level of precision and control as an interference fit, and they may also require additional materials and processes.
