AbstractSheet-bulk metal forming (SBMF) is a promising process for manufacturing complex sheet components with functional elements. In this study, the entire forming process for a typical thin-walled component with external gearing is investigated, including sheet forming and bulk forming processes. Deep drawn cups are prepared during sheet forming; subsequently, upsetting is performed on the sidewall to form external gearing. The upsetting method performed is known as upsetting with a controllable deformation zone (U-CDZ). Compared with the conventional upsetting method, a floating counter punch with a counter force is used in the U-CDZ method such that the forming mechanism is changed into the accumulation of the deformation zone instead of deformation throughout the entire sidewall. The effects of the counter force and material flow are investigated to understand the mechanism. The forming quality, i.e., the formfilling and effective strain distribution, improved, whereas a high forming load is avoided. In addition, a punch with a lock bead is used to prevent folding at the inner corner during the experiment.

Abstract In this research, numerical analysis, response surface method (RSM) and experiments are used to investigate and verify the hot forging process for manufacturing aluminum crown forgings for shock absorber assembly. First, establish the computer aided design (CAD) model of the die and the billet, and simulate it from the finite element method (FEM). Second, a new preforming die was designed with a preformed dressing of controllable deformation zone (CDZ) by the CAD software. Third, numerical simulation was combined with RSM to optimize the processing parameters with the aim of minimizing the die wear while the integrity of forgings should be prioritized preserved. According to RSM, the billet size and preformed dressing of CDZ are important factors affecting the distance between die and workpiece (C). The optimal design factor of the preforming die: billet diameter (D), billet length (L) and flash design (F) are 40 mm, 205 mm and CDZ 1, respectively. Through the results of FEM, this study describes the distribution of microscopic grain flow lines are highly related to forming, stress, strain, and temperature as well as die design such as CDZ in preformed dressing. In order to accurately verify that the parameters analyzed by the RSM, both numerical analysis and physical experiments are carried out and optimal scheme exhibit reasonable consistency.

In some cases, the processes of piercing or expanding pipe blanks involve the use of high-frequency active vibrations. However, due to insufficient knowledge, these processes are not widely used in the practice of seamless pipes production. In particular, the problems of increasing the efficiency of the processes of piercing or expanding a pipe blank at a piercing press using high-frequency vibrations are being solved without proper research and, as a rule, by experiments. The elaboration of modern technological processes for the production of seamless pipes using high-frequency vibrations is directly related to the choice of rational modes of metal deformation and the prediction resistance indicators of technological tools and the reliability of equipment operation. The creation of a mathematical model of the process of vibrating piercing (expansion) of an axisymmetric pipe blank at a piercing press of a pipe press facility is an actual task. A calculation scheme for the process of piercing a pipe plank has been elaborated. A dependence was obtained characterizing the speed of front of plastic deformation propagation on the speed of penetration of a vibrated axisymmetric mandrel into the pipe workpiece being pierced. The dynamic characteristics of the occurrence of wave phenomena in the metal being pierced under the influence of a vibrated tool have been determined, which significantly complements the previously known ideas about the stress-strain state of the metal in the deformation zone. The deformation fields in the zones of the disturbed region of the deformation zone were established, taking into account the high-frequency vibrations of the technological tool. It has been established that the choice of rational parameters (amplitude-frequency characteristics) of the vibration piercing process of a pipe blank results in significant increase in the efficiency of the process, the durability of the technological tool and the quality of the pierced blanks.
