Temperature distributions of cold forging process for a cambolt has been predicted by using finite element method in this paper. The cambolt is used as a part in the steering system of a vehicle for the purpose of driving balanced, so some proper mechanical properties such as strength and endurance limit are required for this part. Moreover, temperature is also an important factor to realize mass production and improve efficiency. However, direct measurement of temperature in a forging process is infeasible with existing technology; therefore, there is a critical need for a new technique. In this study, the thermo-coupled finite element method has been presented for predicting the temperature distribution. The rate of the energy conversion to heat for the material of workpiece has been defined and the temperature distribution throughout the forging process of the cambolt has been analyzed. Experimental verification of the technique is presented.

AbstractThis paper presents the modeling of a cold forging process for a rotary sleeve. The process of forging a EN 42CrMo4 steel part was first modeled numerically by the finite element method using simulation software DEFORM 3D ver. 11.0. After that, the developed forging process was verified by experimental tests carried out in laboratory conditions with the use of 1:2 scale tools and a material model of aluminum alloy EN AW-6060. Finite element method (FEM) results demonstrated that rotary sleeves could be formed from tubes by cold forging. Results of the experimental tests showed, however, that the material inside the hole of the work piece might not adhere to the surface of the sizing pin. Distributions of strain and stress during the forging process are determined. Geometrical parameters of forged parts obtained in experimental tests are compliant with the dimensions of forged parts simulated by FEM. In addition, experimental forces of the forging process show a high agreement with the forces obtained in FEM simulations.

Nowadays, step reduction in the manufacturing process is an important issue because it reduces both the cost and time. The objective of this research is to reduce the steps used in the cold forging process of a socket head screw from 3 steps (existing design) to 2 steps (new design). The commercial FEM (Finite Element Method) software was used for simulating the values of flow line, forging force and die stress, which were then used to determine part quality and tool life. The results have shown that the simulated values of 2-step design are similar to 3-step design.

The isothermal forging of a titanium alloy engine disk is analyzed by the rigid-viscoplastic finite element method. Deformation mechanics of the forging process are discussed, based on the solution. The effects of temperature and heat conduction on the forging process are also investigated by coupled thermo-viscoplastic analysis. Since the dual microstructure / property titanium disk can be obtained by controlling strain distribution during forging, the process modeling by the finite element method is especially attractive.

In the paper, the influence of friction on temperature distribution in the friction spot stir welding process of titanium grade 2 is analysed. It is assumed that the friction coefficient may be a function of temperature or the relative speed of the contact areas. The finite element method is used in the numerical calculations. Temperature distributions and temperature versus time for the analysed friction coefficients are presented. The results also show that applying a proper frictional model is very essential for the sake of heat generation during friction stir welding.
