Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing tin blackplates used for lids such as beverage bottle caps lack sufficient workability, pressure resistance characteristics, and shape fixability, leading to potential leakage of contents due to non-uniform wrinkle shapes and insufficient sealing force.
Innovation Solution
A high-strength tin blackplate composition comprising specific alloying elements (C, Mn, Al, Cr, Cu, Ti) and controlled manufacturing processes, including hot-rolling, cold-rolling, and annealing, to achieve yield strengths of 570 to 700 MPa, surface hardness of 74 to 80 Hr30T, and optimized rolling reduction ratios.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If conventional tin blackplates with lower strength are used, then workability and formability are improved, but pressure resistance characteristics deteriorate leading to potential leakage
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by precisely controlling the chemical composition parameters (C: 0.03-0.09%, Mn: 0.20-0.40%, Cr: 0.15-0.45%, Cu: 0.05-0.25%, Ti: 0.03-0.08%) and processing parameters (cold rolling reduction ratio: 5-20%, annealing temperature: 550-650°C) to achieve the optimal balance between strength and workability for crown plug applications
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a composite microstructure consisting of ferrite and bainite phases through controlled composition and processing. The combination of multiple alloying elements (C, Mn, Cr, Cu, Ti) works synergistically to produce a composite material structure that simultaneously provides high strength (570-700 MPa yield strength) and adequate workability
2Strength
If high-strength materials are used to improve pressure resistance, then sealing force is improved, but shape fixability and uniformity of wrinkle shape deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses parameter changes by controlling the cold rolling reduction ratio to 5-20% and annealing temperature to 550-650°C to achieve a yield strength of 570-700 MPa, which provides sufficient sealing force while maintaining shape fixability through the resulting microstructure
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by creating a specific microstructure distribution with ferrite and bainite phases that provides different properties in different contexts: high strength for sealing force while maintaining adequate ductility for shape fixability during the forming process
3Quantity of substance
If ultra-thin materials are used to reduce weight, then material efficiency is improved, but workability for drawing processes deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by precisely controlling the chemical composition (particularly C: 0.03-0.09% and Mn: 0.20-0.40%) to achieve a microstructure that provides adequate workability for drawing processes even in ultra-thin configurations (0.2-0.3 mm), while maintaining the required strength levels
