ASME B94.6:1984(R2014)

Anotace textu normy ASME B94.6:1984(R2014) :

This standard is being maintained under Stabilized Maintenance. Stabilized maintenance is an option for maintenance of a standard that requires status review every 10 years rather than revision or reaffirmation every 5 years. The Standards Committee shall consider all requests and recommendations for change to standards maintained under the stabilized maintenance option from any materially affected and interested party. The request shall be made in writing and should include the rationale for the particular request in order to facilitate review by the Committee. This Standard covers knurling tools with standardized diametral pitches and includes dimensional relations with stock in the production of straight, diagonal, and diamond knurling on cylindrical surfaces having teeth of uniform pitch parallel to the axis of the cylinder or at a helix angle not exceeding 45 deg. with axis of work. Such knurling is made by displacement of the material on the surface when rotated under pressure against a knurling tool. These tools and recommendations are equally applicable to general purpose and precision knurling. In brief, the advantage of this method is the provision by which good tracking (the ability of teeth to mesh as the tool penetrates the work blank in successive revolutions) is obtained by tools designed on the basis of diametral pitch instead of tpi (teeth per inch) when used with recommended work blank diameters that are multiples of 1/64 or 1/32in., depending upon the pitch selected. This should improve the uniformity and appearance of knurling, eliminate the costly trial and error methods, reduce the failure of knurling tools and production of defective work, as well as decrease the number of tools required.
