In this paper, non-isothermal analysis of an automatic multi-stage cold forging process of a ball-stud is conducted using a new material model which is a closed form function of strain, temperature and strain rate covering low and warm temperatures for high-strength stainless steel SUS304. An assembled die structural analysis scheme is employed for revealing the detailed die stresses, which is of great importance for process and die design for metal forming of the materials with high strengths. Die elastic deformation is dealt with to predict final geometries of material with higher accuracy. A complete analysis model is proposed to be used for optimal design of process and die designs in automatic multi-stage cold forging of high-strength materials.

The One

A multi-stage cold forging process was developed and complemented with finite element analysis (FEA) to manufacture a high-strength one-body input shaft with a long length body and no separate parts. FEA showed that the one-body input shaft was manufactured without any defects or fractures. Experiments, such as tensile, hardness, torsion, and fatigue tests, and microstructural characterization, were performed to compare the properties of the input shaft produced by the proposed method with those produced using the machining process. The ultimate tensile strength showed a 50% increase and the torque showed a 100 Nm increase, confirming that the input shaft manufactured using the proposed process is superior to that processed using the machining process. Thus, this study provides a proof-of-concept for the design and development of a multi-stage cold forging process to manufacture a one-body input shaft with improved mechanical properties and material recovery rate.

This paper analyzes the forming process methods of fin used in CPU chip to emit heat. The whole process is blanking, the first forging forming, the second forging (sizing), and trimming. The chamfer design of CPU fin blank is simulated by finite element analysis. The optimized chamfer 1.6 mm is available. Semi-enclosed cold forging of progressive dies is put forward. The newly designed transfer unit is applied, which unifies the merit of high efficiency of the progressive dies and the high material-using ratio of the project die. Quick disassembly structure is designed and pins are used as quick disassembly pins by means of ball bearing bushing. The unique processing of the shearing scrap structure is adopted when designing the inverted trimming dies. Compared with the traditional die, the mechanization and electrization are realized to increase the production efficiency and get highly precise CPU fin.

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.

Abstract The behavior of loosely woven fabrics differs significantly from other types of woven fabrics. Its unique characteristics have been successfully utilized for the correct operation of some recently developed occupant protection devices for the automotive and heavy machine and truck industry. However, this behavior cannot be efficiently modeled using the currently available material models within a finite element analysis scheme. Therefore, the aim of this work is to present the basics of a formulation of a material model for the analysis of loosely woven fabrics and its implementation in a general-purpose explicit finite element code. To assess the performance of the model, results from the simulation are presented and compared to real test data.

With the ongoing development of product process, there is a growing demand on micro products. Though the macro-drawing process has been well-developed, the design concepts may not be directly applicable to the micro-drawing due to the size effect occurred in the micro-forming processes. In the present study, experiments were conducted first to establish the stress-strain curves, r-values and work hardening exponents of 304 stainless steel sheets with different grain sizes. The experiment results reveal that the stress-strain and r-value become smaller and the work hardening exponent increases for larger grain sizes. The difference between stress-strain curves in various directions of 0°, 45° and 90°, respectively, is significant when the grain size increases. The stamping of a vibration motor shell of cell phone, which bears a circular cylindrical shape, was also examined in the present study. The finite element simulations were performed to evaluate the formability of the multi-stage drawing process with initial die design. The forming characteristics were identified and an optimum die design was then developed with the use of the finite element analysis. The stamping process with multi-stage tooling design based on the finite element analysis was implemented and the actual stamping experiments were conducted to verify finite element analysis. The experimental results confirm the validity of the modified tooling design and the efficiency of the finite element analysis.

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.

Finite Element Method based techniques apply to a wide spectrum of engineering applications including manufacturing. The flexibility to achieve optimized results by simulations adds another dimension to process-development. The efficiency due to simulation is enhanced many folds for developing desired components by reducing the cost as well as time. This paper investigates cold forging process to be adopted to produce camshafts with a target to minimize flash as well as under filling. These two factors being major problems encountered when cold forging is to be adopted for complex shaped products. The current work is primarily concerned with the development of an optimized preform design for a V8 engine camshaft. The work involved the Solid modeling of the camshaft on AutoCAD and further analyzing the developed model through finite element analysis using Deform 3D. The analysis involved understanding of metal flow, volumetric analysis and die stresses in the forging process. The materials considered for the work-piece and the dies are AISI 8620 and AISI-H-26 respectively. The sample camshaft was taken from a standard Dodge Challenger V8 engine. 10 different cases are analyzed to find out the best possible scenario. It is fund that the stress level for the developed model was very much within the design limit of the material.

Good Strain

SUS304 stainless steel is characterized by combined tensile and compression testing, with an emphasis on flow stress at higher strain and temperature. The plastic deformation behavior of SUS304 from room temperature to 400 °C is examined and a general approach is used to express flow stress as a closed-form function of strain, strain rate, and temperature; this is optimal when the strain is high, especially during automatic multi-stage cold forging. The fitted flow stress is subjected to elastothermoviscoplastic finite element analysis (FEA) of an automatic multi-stage cold forging process for an SUS304 ball-stud. The importance of the thermal effect during cold forging, in terms of high material strength and good strain-hardening, is revealed by comparing the forming load, die wear and die stress predictions of non-isothermal and isothermal FEAs. The experiments have shown that the predictions of isothermal FEA are not feasible because of the high predicted effective stress on the weakest part of the die.
