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 ...

To apply the duplex type low-carbon medium-manganese steel to hot/warm-forging and -stamping products, influence of cooling process routes immediately after intercritical annealing such as air-cooling (AC) isothermal transformation (IT) processes on impact toughness 0.2%C-1.5%Si-5%Mn (in mass %) medium-Mn (D-MMn) was investigated. Moreover microstructural tensile properties were also The AC inc...

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...

this paper presents a hybrid method for the optimization of forging process of an aerofoil blade. preform shape and die parting-line angle are optimized in order to minimize the volume of the unfilled die cavity, material waste, forging forces. the overall optimization scheme used in this research work includes a multi-objective approach that is combination of response surface and finite elemen...

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...
