Precision forging process is widely used for the production of spur gears due to its advantages such as improved strength and surface finish, little waste of materials and reduction in the machining time of the gear. An important aspect of precision forging process is the load required to perform the process successfully and design the forging tools. In this research, a new kinematically admiss...

In this essay, a combination of neural network and genetic algorithm has been studied for optimization of the preform in close die forging. Finite Volume Method (FVM) is used as a simulation tool for forging processes. The simulation results have used in the neural network and the genetic algorithm has been employed to optimize the forging force. The neural network was used in three stages for ...

background: many types of single-use blades are manufactured with different designs and materials. there have been several reports of difficulties in obtaining a view of the glottis with single-use laryngoscopes. the purpose of this prospective study was to compare the quickness and the success rate of endotracheal intubations with two different laryngoscope blades: disposable laryngoscope blad...

To realize large wind power plants in an economically feasible way, it is necessary to identify potential for lightweight design of the generator hollow-shafts, which are commonly produced by casting. The weight of these shafts can significantly be reduced by producing them by open-die forging, since the forming of the material leads to a higher strength, which allows to reduce the wall thickne...

in this paper, based on the slab method of analysis, a novel and general approach isdeveloped for studying the radial forging process with curved profile dies. the presented approachis not only more general with respect to previous studies, but it is also easier to understand and useand can be efficiently used for optimization of the die profile depending on the forging geometryand conditions. ...

Crankshafts are the most important loaded components in the case of an automobile. In order to achieve required mechanical properties most of crankshafts for automobile are forged with micro alloyed steel. Usually, the shapes of crankshafts are complex, and many defects are induced during the process of crankshaft forging such as under-filling, laps and folds etc. In this work the forging analy...

Hot forging is a metalworking process in which metals are plastically deformed above their recrystallization temperature, allowing the material to retain its shape as it cools. In today's industry, performance of tools used during hot has always been subject interest. Although known that, tool life affects 10% design costs total budget, 80% production determined stages. For this reason, minimiz...

the aim of the paper presented here is to develop the ti - micralloyed steel in otrer to oprtmize the mechanical properties after direct quenching from hot forging temperature. for this purpose, seven melts containing various amounts of titanium were prepared and cast in metal and sand molds. from the ingots, cast in metal mould, tractor links were produced by hot forging. the produced links we...

A widely used method for hot forming steels and alloys, especially heavy forging, is the process of multistage forging with pauses between stages. The well-known effect which accompanies multistage hot forging is metal plasticity recovery in comparison with monotonic deformation. A method which takes into consideration the recovery of plasticity in pauses between hot deformations of a billet un...
