Abstract: The design and manufacturing of dies for forging of turbine and compressor blades represent excellent applications for CAD/CAM. Computer programs have been developed to predict the load, the ...

Abstract: A numerical method was developed to predict the local temperatures in the billet and in the tooling before the extrusion starts. The method was further extended for calculating the nonsteady-state ...

Abstract: A computerized modular method is developed for predicting shape complexity, material volume, load, stress distributions, and center of loading in forgings. The method consists of dividing a forging ...

Abstract: Two numerical methods, one for axisymmetric compression and the other for axisymmetric torsion, have been developed to predict nonsteady-state temperature fields in these deformation processes. In ...

Abstract: In this study, the uniform compression test is used to determine the flow stress of 403 stainless steel, Waspaloy, Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo, Inconel 718, Ti-8Mo-8V-2Fe-3Al, and, AISI 4340 at various ...

Abstract: The slab method of analysis was applied to study the mechanics of radial forging of rods and tubes. The analysis has been computerized by taking into account the effects of strain, strain ...

Abstract: Forming load and energy can be determined if the flow stress of the deforming, material is known at the temperature and strain-rate conditions existing during the process. In this study domestic ...

Abstract: The actual load and energy capacities of equipment must be known for adequately designing the forging process. In the present study, copper samples have been used to (1) determine the maximum ...

Abstract: Various empirical formulas for predicting the maximum load in practical forgings are reviewed. Assuming a constant friction shear stress at the material-tool interface, the slab method of analysis ...
