Forging Process

This paper used finite element analysis of metal forming to study the forging process and die design of aluminum alloy brake parts. According to the process parameters and die design, the brake parts were forged by experiment. First, the die design is based on the product size and considering parting line, draft angle, forging tolerance, shrinkage and scrap. Secondly, the finite element analysis of metal forming is used to simulate the forging process of aluminum alloy brake parts. Finally, the aluminum alloy brake levers with dimensional accuracy and surface hardness were forged.

Forging Force

As an important forged part of an automobile, the inner hole of the half-shaft bushing must be formed directly. However, the process requires many steps, and how the forging, or deformation, is spread over the production steps directly affects the die life and forging force required. In this paper, the three steps involved in directly forging a half shaft bushing's inner hole are simulated using the two-dimensional finite element method. Further more, we improve the forging process. From numerical calculation, the improved necessary forging force is found to be only half the original force, and the die life is doubled.

The feasibility of forging of AL-1050 alloy of cylindrical heatsink under warm conditions is demonstrated in the present work. The stress-strain curves and friction factor play an important role in the cylindrical heatsink forging. The purpose of forging lubrication is to reduce friction between blank and die, and to decrease resistance of metal flow to die. The stress-strain curves at different temperatures are obtained by compressing tests. The friction factor between 1050 aluminum alloy and die material are determined at different temperatures by ring compression tests with graphite lubricants. The compressing and ring compressing tests are carried out by using the computerized screw universal testing machine. The finite element method is used to investigate the forming characters of the forging process. To verify the prediction of FEM simulation in the cylindrical heatsink forging process, the experimental parameters such as stress-strain curves and fiction factor, are as the input data during analysis. Maximum forging load and effective stress distribution are determined of the heatsink forging, using the finite element analysis. Finally, the cylindrical heatsink parts are formed by the forging machine under the conditions using finite element analysis.

The objective of this paper is to critically review the cooling design for the MS6001 first stage buckets and examine alternate designs for improved cooling. Several basic designs were considered to improve cooling performance, extend service life, and improve the reliability of the first stage bucket. Of the designs being considered and compared with existing and past designs, two options containing 13 and 13M (modified) cooling holes were investigated. The target for the design which was met by the 13M design, was to reduce bucket bulk metal temperature by an average of 13.9°C (25°F), while maintaining current unit performance and bucket integrity. Finite element analysis was performed to evaluate the aerofoil thermal gradients and the results demonstrate that a cooler core and an overall reduction in bulk metal temperature was obtained with the modified designs. In addition to the design analysis, bucket alloys were reviewed and IN-738 was chosen for its reliability and predictable performance.

In view of large load, the shape of large crank forgings and forging process are designed reasonably. Large crank forging process is simulated by numerical simulation software DEFORM-3D to improve the forging process and the dies, including adding upsetting step and related dies. The result shows that improved process and dies can obtain higher quality finish forgings and the load reduces to a rational level, which provides basis for crank forging process and die design.
