The knowledge-based system COFEX (Cold Forging Expert) has been developed to assist in the planning of the cold forging of a wide variety of tubular steel components. Following user-input of the required shape and dimensions of the finished forging, together with as many different sequences as desired, each operation is examined by the system by consulting the knowledge-base process rules and d...

Among the many input parameters of a forging process (for a multi-stage process one can count more than 200 different inputs!) the following important inputs shall be mentioned: Forging Material characteristics (flow curve = f(temperature, strain, strain rate, micro-structure) Influence of heat coefficients Friction type and friction value as well as lubrication Heat transfer Ambient media and ...

The Finite-Element-Analysis (FEA) is of major importance for the design and improvement of forging processes. In this field, FEA is traditionally used to predict die fill, residual stresses and forming forces. The intention of the work presented in this paper is the development of an advanced simulation model for the description of phase transformation processes in forging dies based on FEA. Th...

In the present investigation, an artificial neural network (ANN) model is developed to predict the isothermal hot forging behavior of AlCuMgPb aluminum alloy. The inputs of the ANN are deformation temperature, frictional factor, ram velocity and displacement whereas the forging force, barreling parameter and final shape are considered as the output variable. The developed feed-forward back-prop...

The continuum theory of sintering is used for the analysis of the stability of forging of a cylindrical powder specimen. The constitutive properties of the powder material are assumed to follow a power-law creep relationship. Temperature-coupled linear non-uniform stability analyses are carried out. Stability maps are obtained for forging of copper powder components.

OCB3 is the current version of the OCB authenticated encryption mode which is selected for the third round in CAESAR. So far the integrity analysis has been limited to an adversary making a single forging attempt. A simple extension for the best known bound establishes integrity security as long as the total number of query blocks (including encryptions and forging attempts) does not exceed the...

Hot closed die forging is a regular process applied to manufacture metallic components used in supporting and fixing cable conductors in electric power transmission lines. In this forming process, the final microstructure of the workpiece depends on the control of several processing parameters. In this study, simulation of the industrial forging process of a ball hook component was performed us...

Due to the late response to process condition changes, forging processes are normally exposed to a large number of defective products. To achieve online process monitoring, multichannel tonnage signals are often collected from the forging press. The tonnage signals contain significant amount of real time information regarding the product and the process conditions. In this paper, a methodology ...

the forging model for cold rolling is one of rolling models that is used in rolling calculations. in this model,the final rolling pressure is an average value and it is not an accurate model.also by using this model,the firction hill curves are plotted due to the central point of the rolling bite length while frictional stresses intersect at the neutral point.in this study, a new model based on...

Forging is a cost-effective way to produce net-shape or nearnet-shape components. Forged components are used throughout the manufacturing sector in many different applications. Owing to the lack of an accurate process model, modern forging operations still largely rely on operator skills and experience. The expertise of skilled operators can help to develop a forging process model. However, the...
