Tooling & Vector Prepress Engineering Notes

1. Electromagnetic Skin Depth Physics: For high-efficiency magnetic Lorentz repulsion, the skin depth $\delta = \sqrt{\frac{\rho}{\pi f \mu}}$ should be less than the sheet metal thickness ($t \ge 1.5 \cdot \delta$), preventing magnetic flux leakage.

2. Hyperplastic High-Velocity Forming: At deformation speeds of $100–300\text{ m/s}$ (strain rates $\dot{\varepsilon} > 10^3–10^4\text{ s}^{-1}$), inertial stabilization delays necking, boosting sheet formability by 200–300% over quasi-static press forming.

3. Flat Spiral Actuator Coil DXF Geometry: EMPF driver coils require Archimedean spiral vector paths with uniform inter-turn spacing ($0.8–1.5\text{mm}$) insulated with epoxy-impregnated polyimide.
