In hot forging industry, the process design and the billet size determination are very crucial steps because those steps directly influence both the product quality and material utilization. The purpose of this paper was to propose a technique used to design the hot forging process for the manufacturing of the talar body prosthesis. The talar body prosthesis is one of the artificial bones, which its geometry is a free form shape. In this study, the Finite Element Modeling (FEM) was used as a tool to verify the proposed design before implementation in a production line. In addition, an initial billet was determined the optimum size in the FEM by varying the mass ratio factor, the diameter, and the length. It was found that the mass ratio factor is a very useful guideline since the optimum size is quite close to the provided size from the guideline. The FEM results showed that the dimensions of the initial billet significantly affect the complete metal filling in the die cavity. Moreover, the optimum size between the diameter and length can reduce the material waste in the hot forging process of the talar body prosthesis. Finally, the experimental results of the hot forging process showed that the proposed process design with the optimum size of the initial billet is achieved in order to manufacture the talar body prosthesis and the material utilization of the new proposed process is improved from the traditional process by 2.6 times.

In the present paper a numerical FEM model for the analysis of a forming process of a complex shape component is presented. The model, developed using the commercial implicit code DEFORM™, can take into account both the thermo-mechanical evolution and the microstructural evolution of the considered material. In this case the Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy was because it was possible to carry out a very good characterization into a FEM ambient. In particular the code can calculate the phase distribution of the main phases of the alloy as consequence of the thermo-mechanical history of the material during a hot forging process. At the end of the simulation the output data was showing to analyze the validity and the quality of the model by a numerical point of view.
