Forging
1. FORGING
Forging is plastic deformation of heated
metal between two dies to achieve desired
shape
Forged parts have good directional
strength
improves in mechanical properties of
forged components such as tensile
strength, ductility, impact toughness,
fracture toughness, fatigue strength
free from internal voids and porosity
maximizes dynamic properties like impact
toughness, fracture toughness, fatigue
strength
2.
In open die forging , metal is compressed
by repeated blows by manual or
mechanical hammer and shape is
manipulated manually
In closed die forging , the shape is obtained
by squeezing the workpiece between two
shaped and closed dies
3. Material used
The materials that are used most
commonly in drop forging are aluminum,
copper, nickel, mild steel, stainless
steel, and magnesium. Mild steel is the
best choice, and magnesium generally
performs poorly as a drop forging material.
6. 2.Drop forging
Metal shape is formed by forcing hotmetal into
impressions formed in solid blocks of hardened
alloy steel, the forging dies.
Produces a parting line and flash on the
workpiece, flash must be removed
Typically requires machining to obtain
dimensional tolerance and good surface finish
7. 3.Machine or upset forging
Increases the diameter of the end of central
portion of work piece by compressing its length
Usually requires no trimming
Complex parts are usually formed gradually in a
sequence of separate die cavities
May produce diameter up to three times the
original diameter
8. 4.Press forging
Metal is shaped between dies by
mechanical or hydraulic pressure
Unlike drop hammer forging, press forges
work slowly by applying continuous
pressure or force
This can be done either cold or hot
10. 1.Open die forging
The dies do not enclose the workpiece
allowing it to flow except where contacted by
the dies
Simple type of open die forging is called
upsetting
11. Open die forging categorized in 3
methods
(i)Cogging is a forging process in which flat or slightly
contoured die are used to compress a work piece
reducing its thickness and increasing its length
The distance traveled by die in forward direction on
the work piece between each forging step is called the
BITE
12. (ii)Fullering
In fullering, open die with convex surfaces
are used to deform the work piece
The result is to cause material to flow out of
one area and to both sides
13. 2.Close die or impression
forging
It utilizes a pair of matched dies with contoured
impression that contains cavities that act to restrict
the flow of metal within the die during deformation
of the work
14. 3.Flashless forging
No material can leave the mold aspart is forged,
no flash is formed
Too little material and the die will not fill
completely; too much material will cause a
dangerous build up of forces
15. 4.Cold forging
Similar to impression dies
The temp of work piece is low enough that scale
dose not form, but work piece work hardens
This saves time and cost of heating the part
heading
Backward
extrusion
Upsetting
16. 5.Warm forging
Warm forging is a modification of the cold
forging process where the work piece is
heated to a temp significantly below the typical
hot forging temp
17. Guideline for selection of
forging processes
When forgings are very large, when very few are
required, or when delivery times are very short,
open die forging is the typical choice
As shape becomes more complex, ad production
quantities increases, impression die forging
becomes the process of choice
Shaft like forgings with details on the ends or
along the length, upset forging is used
Relatively small components that are rotationally
symmetrical or asymmetric, requires high strength
and high precision, and are produced in larger
quantities are candidates for cold forging
19. 1.Upsetting
This is increase the cross sectional area of
the stock at the expanse of its length
To achieve the length of upsetting force is
applied in a direction parallel to the length
axis, for example forming of a bolt head
20. 2.Fullering
In fullering, open die with convex surfaces
are used to deform the work piece
The result is to cause material to flow out of
one area and to both sides
Fullering is mostly used as an earlier step
to prepare the work piece for further forging
processes
21. 4.Bending
Bending is a metal forming process in which a
force is applied to a piece of sheet metal,
causing it to bend at an angle and form the
desired shape
22. 5.Punching and Drifting
To produce various types of
holes in metal sheet
The job is heated, kept on the
anvil and a punch is forced to
about half of the depth of the
job by hammering
The job is turned upside
down and punch is forced
from the other side, this time
through
Punching is usually followed
by drifting i.e, forcing a drift in
the punched hole through
produces better hole
23. 6.Forged Welding
It is a process of joining two metal
pieces to increase the length of job
Heating two ends to white
heat(1050'c-1150'c)
Then two ends are brought together
having previously been given light
convex shape to the surface under
joining
The hammering is started from cente
of the convex surface and it
progresses to the ends
This results in the slag being
squeezed out of the joint. The
surfaces are cleaned of scale
24. 7.Flating and Setting Down
To remove hammer marks and corrugation
and to obtain a smooth surface on the job, a
flatter or set hammer is used
Setting down is the operation by which the
rounding of a corner is removed to make it
square by hammer
Finishing is the operation where the uneven
surface of forginng is smoothened out with
use of flatter or set hammer and round stems
are finished to size with the use of swages
25. 8.Swaging
It is done to reduce and finish work for
desired size and shape, usually either
round or hexagonal
For small jobs top to bottom swage pair is
employed
Whereas for large work swage block can
be used
26. Types of hammers and presses
Hammers
1.Gravity drop hammers or broad hammers
2.Power drop hammers or steam hammers
3.Counterblow hammers
Presses
1.Hydraulic presses
2.Mechanical presses
(i)Crank press
(ii)Screw press
27. 1.Gravity drop hammers or board
hammers
Gravity drop hammers work on
principle of gravity
Having a free falling ram of
weights 180kg to 4500kg
Upper die and ram are raised by
friction rolls gripping the board
After releasing the board the ram
falls under gravity to produce the
blow energy =P.E=mgh
Good for mass production of
complex shapes
28. 2.Power drop hammers or steam
hammers
Steam or air and additional gravity force is
used to develop the higher forging force in
power hammer
Steam or air pressure also responsible to
get the upward stroke
Total energy =potential energy+kinetic
energy
=mgh+(1/2)mv^2
Having ram of weights 225-22500kg
Diagram is in next slide
29.
30. 3.Counterblow hammers
Counter blow hammers has two ram that approach
each other horizontally or vetically to forge the part
Work piece may be rotated between blows for proper
shaping during forging
It operate at higher speeds and transmit less
vibration to their bases
It has capacity range up to 1200kj
31. 1.Hydraulic presses
Ram moves up and
down in the cylinder
by hydraulic
pressure
Hydraulic presses
have higher capacity
of forging work
compare to steam
hammers
It is suited for
extrusion type
forging operations
Preferable for hollow
stamping from plate
above 10mm
Higher cost, a slow
speed machine ,heat
loss occur
32. 2.mechanical presses
(i)crank press
Crank press uses an
electric motor to drive a
large heavy flywheel
which drives the ram of
press through a crank
shaft
It converts rotary motion
into reciprocating linear
motion of the press
slides
A clutch is used to
engage and disengage
the fly wheel and break
to stop the crank shaft
motion at the end of
forging stroke
Crank press operates in
repetitive cycle
Longer die life than
hammer
33. (ii)screw press
It consist of a vertical
screw,flywheel is
connected from its top
and bottom makes
joint with the ram
Ram reciprocates up
and down by the screw
as flywheel rotates
The press derive their
energy from the
flywheel, hence energy
is limited
Ram comes to stop
when fly wheel energy
is dissipated
Process is repeated
until forging is
complete
34. (ii)screw press
It consist of a vertical
screw,flywheel is
connected from its top
and bottom makes
joint with the ram
Ram reciprocates up
and down by the screw
as flywheel rotates
The press derive their
energy from the
flywheel, hence energy
is limited
Ram comes to stop
when fly wheel energy
is dissipated
Process is repeated
until forging is
complete
35. Forging defects
(1)Cracking
Both exterior and interior cracking is
caused by excessive stress, or improper
stress distribution on the part
Poor design of forging die or excess
material in the work piece results in
cracking
Cracking can be caused by improper
distribution of temperature during the
operation
36.
(2)Laps or Folds
Caused by buckling of the part and not enough material in
the work piece
(3)Cold shuts
Occurs when metal flows of different temperatures meet;
they do not combine smoothly, a boundary layer forms at
their intersection
(4)Warping
It can happen when thinner sections cool faster than the rest
of forging
(5)Improperly formed sections and dead zones
It can be result of too little metal in the work piece or flawed
forging die design resulting in incorrect material distribution
during the process
37.
(6)Unfilled section
Some section of die cavity are not completely filled by the
flowing metal
It is caused by improper design of forging die design
(7)Scale pits
This is seen as irregular depurations on the surface of the
forging
Improper cleaning of the stock used for forging
The oxide and scale gets embedded into the finish forging
surface
(8)Die shift
This is caused by the miss alignment of the die halve,
making the two halve of the forging to be improper shape
38.
(9)Flakes
Caused by rapid cooling which make exterior to
cool quickly causing internal fractures
General defects can be controlled by
rectifying the right material distribution, right
material flow
Die cavity geometry and corner radius play a
larger role in the action of the metal
