Crankshafts are the most important loaded components in the case of an automobile. In order to achieve required mechanical properties most of crankshafts for automobile are forged with micro alloyed steel. Usually, the shapes of crankshafts are complex, and many defects are induced during the process of crankshaft forging such as under-filling, laps and folds etc. In this work the forging analy...

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...

The purpose of this research is to achieve the optimal parameters for producing forged aluminium alloy 7075 aircraft door bracket by using finite element modelling (FEM) with commercial DEFORM-3D V6.1 and physical simulations with plasticine and Plexiglas dies. Also, forging speed has been examined as the main factor for controlling to produce a part without any defects. The results of Physical...

Integrating machine learning into one of the manufacturing processes, i.e., forging, is mainly concerned with making system more intelligent by incorporating them to exhibit global understanding. Sometimes engineer/operator can find defects during or after forging operation. So, will need some input identify different types categorized defects. And also, according that, we develop fault diagnos...

Accuracy is the key issue in the precision forging. Geometric and dimension errors are the two significant defects found in most of near net or net shape manufacturing process. It becomes more critical for complex part such as an AUV propeller blade. In this study, geometric error was quantified by comparing the blade profile obtained from nominal geometry of the blade and the profile construct...

Initial location of the billet and the shape of die have an important effect on parameters of precision forging. Some of these effects are the contact stresses, material flow, distribution of stress, and also strain. In the present study, the die shape influences and the billet position in precision forging of two different shape groups have numerically and experimentally been investigated. Res...

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...

By using fusion welding to weld AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel (ASS) and commercial copper, the creation of brittle intermetallic in region that compromises strength joints is primary challenge. However, friction a suitable method for joining these two materials because no obvious defects are produced at joints. The joint significantly influenced by friction-welding-process variables inclu...

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...
