The effect of multi-directional forging on the development texture and increase hardness was investigated for a commercial A5052 aluminum alloy, which had an initial with major orientation ｛001｝<100>. Two specimens were prepared: one obtained via (MDF) performed four times at true strain 0.18 each forging, while other prepared unidirectional (UDF) time 0.72. MDF UDF same 0.72 exhibited tendenci...

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...

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...

In this study, a commercial hot-extruded AZ80Mg alloy was multi-directionally forged (MDFed) at room temperature by employing pass strains of Δε = 0.1. The effects the combined processes MDFing and ageing on microstructural evolution strengthening were precisely examined in advance. coarse initial grains gradually subdivided into ultrafine multiple mechanical twinning kinking. As observed, effe...
