Forging of a turbine disk - Process design • Heating the cylindrical billet from 20oC up to 1040oC • Transport from the furnace to the press • Shaping the billet in an one step closed die forging process
Forging of a turbine disk - Boundary conditions • Die velocity 20mm/s • Die temperature 650oC • Friction (Coulomb ) 0.25 • Heat transfer () 0.002 W(K*mm2) • Emission () 0.9 • Surrounding temperature 30oC • Time for closed die operation 8.7s
Forging of a turbine disk - Heating 196 mm Heating time of 2000s is sufficient to reach the core temperature of 1040oC 100 mm
Summary • Boundary conditions are still the weak point • Simulation of grain size evolution is already available for a number of materials • Computing time is not really the limiting factor
