Abstract: The blank holder force (BHF), which regulates the amount of metal drawn into the die cavity, has been used effectively to draw defect-free sheet parts. It has been shown that a properly ...

Abstract: Lubricants in hot forging are applied to the heated die surface by spraying dilute water based graphite suspensions through high-pressure nozzles. To avoid undesirable steam formation, these ...

Abstract: The study presented describes the simulation procedure and methodology used to develop two models for predicting recrystallized grain size in Alloy 718 billet. To simulate multiple pass forging ...

Abstract: In machining titanium alloys with cemented carbide cutting tools, crater wear is the predominant wear mechanism influencing tool life and productivity. An analytical wear model that relates crater ...

Abstract: A fully automatic forging simulation technique in hot-former forging is presented in this paper. A rigid-thermoviscoplastic finite element method is employed together with automatic simulation ...
