in forging design the significant parameters are maximum load or energy which are required for the selection of forging press or hammer. these two parameters are varied by the other paramelers such as the geometry of die cavity, flash dimensions, shape of the work piece, friction, mechanical properties of the metal to be forged, temperature, strain rate, and number of the forging operation. the...

Forging is a manufacturing process that consists of shaping the metal using localized compression forces. The blows are delivered with a hammer (often an electric hammer) or a die. In this paper, different methods of forging (multi-directional forging, hot forging, near-beta forging, multi-axial forging, direct powder forging, warm forging and ring forging) are discussed. The main problems that...

This paper presents an approach for a holistic simulation of forging processes considering the interactions between forging press, tooling system and forging process. It can be used in coupled simulations and will enable industrial users in forging industry to do simulation-aided tool optimizations in the design stage of newly developed forging dies. The final aim is to reduce the time-consumin...

The purpose of this study is to develop a forging process of automotive parts that satisfies the deformation characteristics. The analyses of temperature variation and deformation behavior of the material are important to obtain the optimal forging products. The hot compression test was carried out to know formability at high temperature. In order to define the optimum forging conditions includ...

This research introduces an advanced forging method to produce the door frame of the wind turbine tower. The advantage of the new forging method is the increase of raw material utilization ratio and the energy saving. In the conventional method, the door frame is hot forged with a hydraulic press and machined out lots of material because of the big difference between forging shape and final mac...

Cooperating with heavy forging press, the heavy-duty forging manipulator is used for handling the workpiece during the free-forging process. Therefore, the size accuracy of the forgings is related to the dynamics performance of the forging manipulator. This paper aims to study the dynamic performance of DDS heavy-duty forging manipulator. The kinematics model is firstly built to predict the tra...

There are a wide range of physical defects which occur during metal forming processes. These defects, which may occur on the surface or be internal, are undesirable not only because of the surface appearance, but because they may adversely affect the strength, formability and other manufacturing characteristics of the material. Some physical defects in metal forming processes such as rolling an...
