Ultrasonic orbital microforming—UOM—uses the broadly understood idea of orbital forging but uses very different laws of physics. The only shaping force in this process is the inertia force resulting from the acceleration in the rotary motion of the workpiece. Micro specimen blanked from cold rolled aluminum sheet metal was used in the applied UOM process. Only the upper and lower part of the sample is deformed that gives about 70% of volume. The rest—the middle part—remains undeformed. The final shape of the product is influenced by the shape of the inside of the die in which the UMO process is carried out. However, this effect is not a direct one. The product shape does not repeat the shape of the interior of the die. The preliminary experiments with modular micro-die have been performed on the way of controlling the shape of deformed micro-objects. The microstructure analysis has been done as well as micro-hardness distribution.

The paper presents selected results of a numerical investigation of the orbital forging process for producing a hollow part. This part is a jaw coupling sleeve made of titanium alloy, widely used in the agricultural industry. The FEM simulation was performed based on the following assumptions: (i) the orbital forging process is conducted under hot conditions using an industrial press of MCOF type and (ii) the final part is formed from a special hollow preform. The preform shape was selected such to ensure optimal conditions of the orbital forging process. The aim of the investigation was to identify phenomena which occur during the orbital forging process. The results obtained are thoroughly examined and described.

When producing racks by cold rotary forging, the top punch and the rack teeth definitely intervene and thus the top punch has to be amended, which makes the technical designing processes difficult and complex (Han et al., 2016, “Cold Orbital Forging of Gear Rack,” Int. J. Mech. Sci., 117(10), pp. 227–242). In this study, a novel cold rotary forging method of producing racks is put forward to avoid the interventions between the top punch and the racks. Thus, the top punch need not be amended and the technical designing processes correspondingly become simple. In light of this presented method, a novel idea for cold rotary forging of producing multiple racks using one set of punch is motivated. The concrete researches are as follows: First, the mathematical models are developed and three kinds of key forging conditions in cold rotary forging of racks are calculated to avoid the interventions between the top punch and the racks. The first one is the condition that the top punch and the rack teeth do not intervene. The second one is the condition that the top punch and cylindrical surfaces of racks do not intervene. The third one is the condition that the top punch can be successfully constructed. On the basis of these three kinds of key forging conditions, the workpiece is optimized and the cold rotary forging processes of racks with constant and variable transmission ratio are examined using finite element (FE) simulations. The experimental researches are also conducted. The results show that for both racks with constant and variable transmission ratio, the obtained key forging conditions are effective and the presented cold rotary forging principles of producing multiple racks using one set of punch are feasible.

In cold orbital forging (COF) processes, large stress, displacement and vertical vibration of the COF machine are bad for the quality of the part and the fatigue life of the COF machine. It is necessary to investigate the static and dynamic performance of the COF machine and provide methods for reducing the stress, displacement and vertical vibration of the COF machine. In this paper, finite element analysis, theoretical analysis, numerical simulation and experimental analysis were applied to study the static and dynamic performance of a 6300 KN COF machine. The static and dynamic analyses were verified effectively by carrying out strain and vertical vibration test experiments. In the static analysis, the large stress and displacement positions of the COF machine were mainly distributed near the working table and the junction between the working table and the column. Large stress and displacement will be bad for the quality of the part and the fatigue life of the COF machine. Structural optimizations of the COF machine include ribbed plates on the working table and beam. This structural optimization method of the COF machine obviously reduced the stress and displacement of the COF machine. When the angular velocities of the eccentric rings were 8π rad/s, the vertical vibration of the swing shaft is a low-frequency vibration. The existence of absorber obviously reduced the vertical vibration of the COF machine.

The difficulty in forging of bevel gear with an outside diameter larger than 75mm is due to the high forming load requirement. In this paper, a new intuitive method for the punch and preform design of the bevel gear warm orbital forging is proposed to lower the forging load and improve the die filling. The geometry of the forged bevel gear are divided into characteristic features and mapped to the main dimensions of the preform design. The exact dimensions of the preform are determined utilizing constraints of the volume constancy and the section centroid balance. The surface of punch tip is designed using the section profile described by a Bezier curve with five control points which are related to the preform and the forged part geometry simultaneously. The forming process was analyzed via the FEM simulation. The die stress was also calculated to prevent die failure and improve tool life. A PXW-200 orbital forging press was adopted for the experimental tests of the proposed designs. The unfilled area at the teeth faces were examined via the laser scanner. The experimental results of the maximum unfilled distances were varied from 0.3 mm to 0.8mm depending on the different punch tip profile design. The predicted tooth profiles were in good agreement with the experimental measurements.
