Experiments were carried out to evaluate the hot forging features in the high-strength sintered Powder Metallurgy TiC composite steel performs under different stress states, namely, plane and triaxial stress. Cylindrical compacts with aspect ratios 0.45, 0.75, and 1.25 were prepared, sintered and forged at the temperatures of 1120°C+10°C. The investigation suggests that the experimentally determined relative density has a straight line relationship with the new geometrical shape factor (ρ0∕ρth)(h0∕hf)(3D02∕(2Db2+Dc2)). The measured barrel radius of curvature is found to have a circular arc because the above relation is a straight line one. Relationship is established between the measured barrel radius and the stress ratio parameters namely (σθ∕σz), (σz∕σm) and (σeff∕σz) under plane stress and triaxial stress state conditions. An attempt is also made to establish a relationship between the various stress ratio parameters namely (σθ∕σz), (σz∕σm), and (σeff∕σz) under plane stress and triaxial stress state conditions and the relative density.

This paper evaluates some of the cold-forging features of composite steel preforms of varying titanium carbide contents during cold upsetting under triaxial stress state conditions. A complete experimental investigation is carried out on composite steel preforms of varying titanium carbide contents, namely, 3%TiC and 4%TiC with different lubricating conditions; namely, graphite and zinc stearate and no lubrication. Cylindrical compacts with aspect ratios of 0.42, 0.67, and 1.0 were prepared, sintered, and upset forged at room temperature. The measured barrel radius of curvature is found to have a circular arc because the above relationship is a straight-line one. A relationship is established between the measured barrel radius and the stress ratio parameters of (σθ/σz), (σz/σm), and (σeff/σz) determined under triaxial stress state conditions for both composite steels of varying titanium carbide content. The effect of titanium carbide particle addition in the composite steel, initial preform geometry, and lubricating conditions on the deformation behaviour has been studied, together with the densification route of the composite steel preforms during the deformation.
