In the present study, we designed a ring rolling preform for producing a ringed product with a grooved outer circumferential surface. One of the most common defects in the profile of a ring rolling process is unfilling, which occurs when the deformation amount of product is small or the depth of the groove in the outer surface is large. To prevent unfilling, the deformation amount should be inc...

This study presents an innovative methodology for preform design in metal forging processes based on the convolution neural network (CNN) algorithm. The proposed approach extracts features of inputted product geometries and utilizes them to derive corresponding shapes by employing weight arrays (filters) determined during convolutional operations. filters are progressively updated training proc...

Abstract Forgings are produced in several process steps, the so-called forging sequence. The design of efficient sequences is a very complex and iterative development process. In order to automate this reduce time, method presented here, which automatically generates multi-stage for different geometries on basis component geometry (STL file). was developed closed die forging. individual modules...

In a closed die forging process, it is impossible to form complex shapes in one stage, and thus it becomes necessary to use preform dies. In the present study, Backward Deformation Method and FE simulation via ABAQUS software has been used in order to design preform die of the H-shaped parts. In the Backward Deformation Method, the final shape of the part is considered as a starting point and u...

The synchronous control system is the essential part of the giant forging hydraulic press, its synchronous control performance will directly determine the quality of the product. In order to improve the synchronous control precision, based on the fuzzy system, according to the changing regularity of the eccentric load during the forging process and synchronous control system mathematical model,...

The paper reports an investigation into the forging of solid powder circular disc with large slenderness ratio, between two flat dies. The deformation pattern during the operation is influenced by many factors, which interact with each other in a complex manner. The decisive factors are the interfacial conditions, initial relative density of the preform and the geometry of the preform. An attem...

BACKGROUND This paper describes the shaping of freestanding objects out of metallic structures in the nano- and submicron size. The technique used, called nanoforging, is very similar to the macroscopic forging process. RESULTS With spring actuated tools produced by focused ion beam milling, controlled forging is demonstrated. With only three steps, a conical bar stock is transformed to a fla...

Three important parameters in designing a closed die for forging process are ratio of width to flash thickness, ratio of  height to billet diameter and the friction factor. In this paper the influences of these parameters on the required force for the forging and percentage of die filling were investigated. It was found that by controlling the flash dimension, the material loss is reduced and t...
