The paper reports on an investigation into the various aspects of closed die cold forging of polygonal powder preforms, which have been compacted and sintered from atomized powder. It is found that for certain dimensional ratios of the preform the die pressure is minimum. An attempt has been made for the determination of the die pressures developed for given geometries of the disc during the cl...

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...

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...

In this essay, a combination of neural network and genetic algorithm has been studied for optimization of the preform in close die forging. Finite Volume Method (FVM) is used as a simulation tool for forging processes. The simulation results have used in the neural network and the genetic algorithm has been employed to optimize the forging force. The neural network was used in three stages for ...

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...

Preform design in forging processes is an important aspect for improving the forging quality and decreasing the production cost. The objective of this paper is to obtain an optimal perform shape in the consideration of the influence of the metal flow deformation in closed die forging process. Finite element method based DEFORMTM 3D software in conjunction with Taguchi method has been used to si...

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...

Purpose: To predict the minimum value of additional material volume for an acceptable preform product. To predict an acceptable preform product without shape defect such as unfilling in a closed-die forging operation. Design/methodology/approach: In order to reduce the number of experiments, an orthogonal array from the Taguchi’s experimental method will be utilized to design the process parame...
