CHAPTER 2

Forging Processes: Variables and Descriptions
Manas Shirgaokar

2.1

Introduction

In forging, an initially simple part—a billet, for example—is plastically deformed between two tools (or dies) to obtain the desired final configuration. Thus, a simple part geometry is transformed into a complex one, whereby the tools “store” the desired geometry and impart pressure on the deforming material through the tool/material interface. Forging processes usually produce little or no scrap and generate the final part geometry in a very short time, usually in one or a few strokes of a press or hammer. As a result, forging offers potential savings in energy and material, especially in medium and large production quantities, where tool costs can be easily amortized. In addition, for a given weight, parts produced by forging exhibit better mechanical and metallurgical properties and reliability than do those manufactured by casting or machining. Forging is an experience-oriented technology. Throughout the years, a great deal of know-how and experience has been accumulated in this field, largely by trial-and-error methods. Nevertheless, the forging industry has been capable of supplying products that are sophisticated and manufactured to very rigid standards from newly developed, difficult-to-form alloys. The physical phenomena describing a forging operation are difficult to express with quantitative relationships. The metal flow, the friction at the tool/material interface, the heat generation and transfer during plastic flow, and the relationships between microstructure/properties and

process conditions are difficult to predict and analyze. Often in producing discrete parts, several forging operations (preforming) are required to transform the initial “simple” geometry into a “complex” geometry, without causing material failure or degrading material properties. Consequently, the most significant objective of any method of analysis is to assist the forging engineer

    Forging is a specific manufacturing process which involves metal shaping using localized forces. This process has numerous advantages to the people using it as it produces a form of metal that is way stronger than a metal which has been fortified by a cast or a machine part. With regards to metals like steel and iron that are the most often used materials in the construction industry, this durability and strength is the main factor to their appeal and their functionality.…

    Juliet defies her parent's wishes for her to marry Paris. In Elizabethan society, people would regard the act of a woman defying a man preposterous, making the context of this scene crucial for Juliet’s progression into a mature woman. Juliet, only fourteen, develops into a woman when her submissive nature leaves her. In response to her father’s arranged marriage, Juliet states this. “Proud can I never be of what I hate.” (3.3.147). In her conversation with her mother, Juliet pleads with her mother to delay the marriage. When Lady Capulet refuses to listen to her daughter, Juliet boldly threatens her mother that she may “make the bridal bed/In that dim monument where Tybalt lies” (3.5.201-202). Such a threat opposes her earlier obedience to her mother wherein Juliet states that “no more deep will I endart mine eye/Than your consent gives strength to make it fly” (1.3.100-101). She believes as an “adult” she should be able to make her own decisions.…

    Cold Rolling of Metals

    • 3528 Words
    • 15 Pages

    This report is to highlight the methods, results and theory relevant during an engineering experiment called “cold rolling of metals". The purpose of this report is to show how readings obtained from the set-out experiment, can be evaluated to determine the behavior of 3 selected materials; Brass, Copper and Aluminium through the process of cold rolling. The form of the materials are in small strips which are processed via cold-rolling method 4 times from their original state to evaluate the effects incurred on hardness values, width, length and thicknesses. Hardness values/vickers numbers are determined for each material using a Vickers hardness tester and the measurements of width, length & thickness taken using a vernier caliper & micrometer. These values for each material are recorded pre-cold rolling from original and on each pass allowing the recorded results to be compared upon completion. On each pass a 3rd of a turn was applied to the rollers reducing the size of each material work piece in the order of Brass, Copper and Aluminium. Upon completion of this simple experiment the results were tabulated and a graph plotted to portray the collected data. It can be determined that the major affect exhibited by the process of cold rolling on each material was a clear increase in thickness reduction, width, length including an increase in hardness of each material. Copper appeared to be the most affected by the process, followed by Brass whereas Aluminium exhibited a small increase in its overall hardness to percentage deformation ratio. Certain recorded figures upon final analysis obtained during the experiment appear to be inaccurate in line with result patterns; and could be a result of numerous conditions one of which is the room for human error.…
