Forging processes in the past have primarily been developed based on empirical relationships or trial and error. The finite element approach to forging process development and design has been found to be practically feasible and economical. The rigid-viscoplastic finite element method (FEM) code 'ALPID' developed by Battelle Columbus Laboratories, has been successfully utilized to simulate metal forming processes. In the following paper, the application of finite element simulation to study deformation mechanics in the forging of gear blanks and axle shafts is discussed. An underfill problem on the gear blank was overcome and tool life was improved on the axle shaft hot heading process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
