Abstract A successive tooth forming process for producing large modulus spur gears (m＞2.5 mm) was firstly proposed in this paper to break the restrictions of large forming load and large equipment structure of traditional plastic forming. It contains the preforming stage and finishing stage. In the first stage, the die with a single-tooth preformed gear teeth one by one through several passes. In the second stage, the other die with multi-teeth refined the preformed teeth into required shape. The influence of total pressing depth and feed distribution in preforming stage on final forming quality was analyzed by numerical simulation and the reasonable process parameters had been presented. Gears without fold defects were well formed both in simulations and experiments, proving the feasibility of this method. The new process has advantages of smaller forming load and simpler tooling set, which shows a good potential for manufacturing large modulus spur gears.

The influence of total pressing depth and feed distribution in preforming stage on final forming quality is analyzed by numerical simulation, and the reasonable process parameters are presented. Successive tooth forming experiments are carried out on the self-designed gear forming device to verify the optimal simulation results. Gears without fold defects are well formed both in simulations and experiments, proving the feasibility of this method. Compared with the whole die forging process, the new technology has advantages of smaller load and simpler tooling, which shows a good potential for manufacturing large modulus and large size spur gears.

Symmetric Approximation

In this study, a major design parameter was identified for cold forward extrusion of solid or hollow spur gears by investigating the effect of gear geometries and forming variables on formation of gear teeth by finite element simulations. A limiting extrusion ratio was determined for reducing the likeliness of underfilling in the die cavity. An equivalent radius of the cross-sectional geometry of a gear was also determined to predict the forming load requirement from an axi-symmetric approximation. Based on this approximation, a modified empirical equation was determined for simple determination of forming loads required.

Physical Simulations

This work was focused on the compressive deformation behavior of 42CrMo steel at temperatures from 1123K to 1348K and strain rates from 0.01s-1 to 10s-1 on a Gleeble-1500 thermo-simulation machine. The true stress-strain curves tested exhibit peak stresses at small strains, after them the flow stresses decrease monotonically until high strains, showing a dynamic flow softening. And the stress level decreases with increasing deformation temperature and decreasing strain rate. The values of strain hardening exponent n, and the strain rate sensitivity exponent m were calculated the method of multiple linear regression, the results show that the two material parameters are not constants, but changes with temperature and strain rate. Then the two variable material parameters were introduced into Fields-Backofen equation amended. Thus the constitutive mechanical discription of 42CrMo steel which can accurately describe the relationships among flow stress, temperature, strain rate, strain offers the basic model for plastic forming process simulation.

Significant Achievement

Abstract In this work an analysis of the radial stress and velocity fields is performed according to the J 2 flow theory for a rigid/perfectly plastic material. The flow field is used to simulate the forming processes of sheets. The significant achievement of this paper is the generalization of the work by Nadai & Hill for homogenous material in the sense of its yield stress, to a material with general transverse non-homogeneity. In Addition, a special un-coupled form of the system of equations is obtained where the task of solving it reduces to the solution of a single non-linear algebraic differential equation for the shear stress. A semi-analytical solution is attained solving numerically this equation and the rest of the stresses term together with the velocity field is calculated analytically. As a case study a tri-layered symmetrical sheet is chosen for two configurations: soft inner core and hard coating, hard inner core and soft coating. The main practical outcome of this work is the derivation of the validity limit for radial solution by mapping the “state space” that encompasses all possible configurations of the forming process. This configuration mapping defines the “safe” range of configurations parameters in which flawless processes can be achieved. Several aspects are researched: the ratio of material's properties of two adjacent layers, the location of layers interface and friction coefficient with the walls of the dies.

Forming Defects

A new stretch-forming process based on discretely loading for three-dimensional sheet metal part is proposed and numerically investigated. The gripping jaw in traditional stretch-forming process is replaced by the discrete array of loading units, and the stretching load is applied at discrete points on the two ends of sheet metal. By controlling the loading trajectory at the each discrete point, an optimal stretch-forming process can be realized. The numerical results on the new stretch-forming process of a saddle-shaped sheet metal part show that the distribution of the deformation on the formed surface of new process is more uniform than that of traditional stretch-forming, and the forming defects can be avoided and better forming quality will be obtained.

The theoretical results (obtained by F.E.M.) for the point load compliance of wide-faced spur gear teeth are set out. These values compare well with experimental data obtained from tests on a large spur gear (18 mm module, 18 teeth).

Three-roll cross rolling (TRCR) is a new advanced plastic forming technology for the processing of rings with small-hole and deep groove. In this paper, a 3D coupled thermo-mechanical FE model for TRCR of ring with small-hole and deep groove is established under ABAQUS software environment. By simulation and analysis, the evolution and distribution laws of strain and temperature in the forming process are revealed, and the effects of the key process parameters on the deformation uniformity are explored. The results provide valuable guideline for the technological parameter design and optimization.
