The purpose of this research is to analyze the forging of bevel gears based on conventional forging method with material number 1.7131 with finite element method by means of SUPER FORGE software and to compare it with experimental cold orbital forging results.After doing simulation of conventional forging and obtaining press tonnage due to orbital forging method with DEFORM software, orbital fo...

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...

Since 1986, more than 500 million powder forged (PF) connecting rods have been manufactured and installed in automobiles worldwide. The application of forging a preformed near-net shape consolidated from metal powder has been widely accepted since the early eighties and today is the preferred manufacturing technique for 60% of the connecting rods manufactured in North America. The remaining por...

Aluminium is totally recyclable with no downgrading of its qualities, but in the process of typical conventional aluminium recycling, there are quite a number of negative impacts. The recycling of aluminium and its alloys by direct recycling method is relatively simple, consumes small amount of energy, produce small amount of waste and does not have a harmful effect on the environment. This app...

This paper presents a comparative study of Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor concentration control using Particle Swam Optimization and Bacterial Forging Optimization. Continuous stirred tank reactor plays a very important role in process industry. This paper presents the optimal design of PID controller based on Particle Swarm Optimization and Bacterial Forging Optimization. The first step is th...

This paper describes the possibilities and conditions of the closed-die flashless forging process using conventional mechanical presses and equipment. The technique of driven gear forging with an internal flash or with special die design has been developed. The quality of forgings is comparable to that achievable on Hatebur presses. Furthermore the problem of how to increase shift production un...

In this study, a cast rod is used as the material for the forging process (without extrusion). The cast forging process is used to ameliorate the coarse grains that form in the follow-up heating process of extrusion-forged materials. Infrared (IR) heating is also used for comparison with conventional heating processes. Experimental results show that the direct forging process (without extrusion...

The finite element method plays an extremely important role in forging process design as it provides a valid means to quantify forging errors and thereby govern die shape modification to improve the dimensional accuracy of the component. However, this dependency on process simulation could raise significant problems and present a major drawback if the finite element simulation results were inac...

This paper aims to improve the mechanical properties and fatigue life of AISI/SAE 4140 alloy steel connecting rods (CRs). Conventional CRs are typically manufactured through open die forging/hammering, blocking, hot forging processes. In present work, a modification process route has been proposed such that forging/hammering was completely replaced with multistep asymmetrical reducer rolling te...

Titanium aluminides find application in modern light-weight, high-temperature turbines, such as aircraft engines, but suffer from poor plasticity during manufacturing and processing. Huge forging presses enable materials processing in the 10-GPa range, and hence, it is necessary to investigate the phase diagrams of candidate materials under these extreme conditions. Here, we report on an in sit...
