  1. Metal forming Principle of the process Structure Process modeling Defects, Pros and Cons Design For Manufacturing (DFM) Process variation Module 8 d

  2. Cold, warm, hot Module 8

  3. Cold Working • Performed at room temperature or slightly above. • Many cold forming processes are used in mass production operations. • Minimum or no machining usually required. • These operations are near net shape or net shape processes

  4. Advantages of Cold Forming • Better accuracy, closer tolerances. • Better surface finish. • Strain hardening increases strength and hardness. • Grain flow during deformation can cause desirable directional properties in product. • No heating of work required.

  5. Disadvantages of Cold Forming • Higher forces and power required for deformation. • Surfaces of starting work must be free of scale and dirt. • Decreased ductility and increased strain hardening limit the amount of forming that can be done. • In some cases, metal must be annealed before further cold deformation can be accomplished • In other cases, metal is simply not ductile enough to be cold worked

  6. Warm Working • Performed at temperatures above room temperature, but below recrystallization temperature. • Occurs in the range from 0.3Tm to 0.5Tm, where Tm = melting point (absolute temperature) for metal. Easy to deform and the solid state but grain size becomes bigger, which will affect the mechanical property of the material.

  7. Advantages & Disadvantages of Warm Working • Advantages • Lower forces and power than that in cold working. • More intricate work geometries. • Need for annealing may be reduced or eliminated. • Disadvantage • Work piece must be heated.

  8. Hot Working • Deformation at temperatures abovetherecrystallization temperature. • Occurs in the range from 0.5Tm to 0.75Tm. • Capability for substantial plastic deformation - far more than is possible with cold working or warm working. This is because • Strength coefficient (K) is substantially less than that at room temperature. • Strain hardening exponent (n) is zero (theoretically). • Ductility is significantly increased.

  9. Advantages of Hot Working • Work part shape can be significantly altered. • Lower forces and power required. • Metals that usually fracture in cold working can be hot formed. • No strengthening of part occurs from work hardening. • Advantageous in cases when part is to be subsequently processed by cold forming.

  10. Disadvantages of Hot Working • Lower dimensional accuracy • Higher thermal energy needed to heat the work piece • Work surface oxidation (formation of scale) • Thus, poorer surface finish • Higher temperature decreases tool life of dies and rolls

  11. Metal forming: Rolling Principle of the process Structure Process modeling Defects, Pros and Cons Design For Manufacturing (DFM) Process variation Module 8 d

  12. Rolling Mill Configurations (a) Two-high, (b) three-high, (c) four-high Less power without comprise of capability of deforming work Non-reversible Reversible is achieved

  13. Rolling Mill Configurations (d) Cluster mill, (e) tandem rolling mill

  14. Thread Rolling (1) Start of cycle, (2) end of cycle

  15. Thread Rolling Bulk deformation process used to form threads on cylindrical parts by rolling them between two dies • Important process for mass producing bolts and screws. • Performed by cold working in thread rolling machines. • Advantages over thread cutting (machining) in • Higher production rates, • Better material utilization, and • Stronger threads and better fatigue resistance.
