Preform design in multi-stage forging processes is critical to ensure the production of defect-free parts. Moreover, owing to the geometry and material-flow complexities in forging processes, finding the optimal preform shapes could be difficult and time consuming. This paper proposes an efficient preform design methodology based on geometrical resemblance, which requires several finite element...

Abstract Forging is a widely used manufacturing process, and its design modeling are important to reducing production costs, increasing die lifespan, improving the mechanical properties of final product. In this study, forging process connecting rod was modeled using 3D coupled Eulerian Lagrangian (CEL) analysis by FEM. The methodology adopted achieved determine preform geometry that reduces fl...

There are several method for forming bulk material, such as forging, rolling and extrusion. Every of these methods have advantages and dis-advantages of their selves. Forging process is one of the most common of them that include a die, press and in some case heater with controlling system, and has a special place in automotive, military and aerospace industries due uniformity of the final prod...

This study used finite element analysis software DEFORM-3D to analyze the preform formability and die stress in pre-forming process of forging automobile transmission components. The materials are AISI- 5120 alloy steel JIS-SKD61 mould steel, respectively. research investigated phenomenon folding defects at end final process. First, as shape under pre-formed channel was designed change, its clo...

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. ...

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...

Material property evolution during processing is governed by the evolution of the underlying microstructure. We present an efficient technique for tailoring texture development and thus, optimizing properties in forming processes involving polycrystalline materials. The deformation process simulator allows simulation of texture formation using a continuum representation of the orientation distr...

Some problems on setting up die-forging technological scheme design criteria by means of traditional methods are analyzed. The idea of mining die-forging technological schemes based on orthogonal plan is pointed out. The height and width of the hub are selected as key factors from many ones which influence the die-forging technological schemes of axisymmetric forging, then, in connection with t...
