  2. Forging Deformation process in which work is compressed between two dies • Oldest of the metal forming operations • Dates from about 5000 B C • Products: engine crankshafts, connecting rods, gears, aircraft structural components, jet engine turbine parts • Also, basic metals industries use forging to establish basic shape of large parts that are subsequently machined to final geometry and size http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fa0FVYxbVWk (Axe, 5.5 min)

  3. Classification of Forging Operations • Cold vs. hot forging: • Hot or warm forging – advantage: reduction in strength and increase in ductility of work metal • Cold forging – advantage: increased strength due to strain hardening • Impact vs. press forging: • Forge hammer - applies an impact force • Forge press - applies gradual force

  4. Types of Forging Operations • Open‑die forging - work is compressed between two flat dies, allowing metal to flow laterally with minimum constraint • Impression‑die forging - die contains cavity or impression that is imparted to workpart • Metal flow is constrained so that flash is created • Flashless forging (closed die forging) - workpart is completely constrained in die

  5. Open‑Die Forging Compression of workpart between two flat dies • Deformation operation reduces height and increases diameter of work • Also called upsetting or upset forging http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLRkOupbARM (Intro, 1.5 min) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dK6eZGeDjZg (Sword, 3 min)

  6. Open-Die Forging with No Friction • (1) Start of process with workpiece at its original length and diameter, (2) partial compression, and (3) final size True strain: Quiz: What is engineering strain?

  7. Open-Die Forging with Friction Actual deformation of a cylindrical workpart in open‑die forging, showing pronounced barreling: (1) start of process, (2) partial deformation, and (3) final shape

  8. Impression‑Die Forging Compression of workpart by dies with inverse of desired part shape • Flash is formed by metal that flows beyond die cavity into small gap between die plates • Flash must be later trimmed, but it serves an important function during compression: • As flash forms, friction resists continued metal flow into gap, constraining metal to fill die cavity

  9. Impression‑Die Forging Practice • Several forming steps are often required • With separate die cavities for each step • Beginning steps redistribute metal for more uniform deformation and desired metallurgical structure in subsequent steps • Final steps bring the part to final geometry http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mySkT0Gw_X0 (1 min)

  10. Advantages and Limitations of Impression-Die Forging • Advantages compared to machining from solid stock: • Higher production rates • Less waste of metal • Greater strength • Favorable grain orientation in the metal • Limitations: • Not capable of close tolerances • Machining is often required to achieve accuracies and features needed Quiz: why forging improve the strength?

  11. Flashless (closed die) Forging Compression of work in punch and die tooling whose cavity does not allow for flash • Starting work volume must equal die cavity volume within very close tolerance • Process control more demanding than impression‑die forging • Best suited to part geometries that are simple and symmetrical • Often classified as a precision forging process

  12. Flashless Forging (Closed Die Forging) • (1) Just before contact with workpiece, (2) partial compression, and (3) final punch and die closure

  13. Upset Forging • Upset forging to form a head on a bolt or similar hardware item: (1) wire stock is fed to stop, (2) gripping dies close on stock and stop retracts, (3) punch moves forward, (4) bottoms to form the head

  14. Heading (Upset Forging) • Examples of heading operations: (a) heading a nail using open dies, (b) round head formed by punch, (c) and (d) two common head styles for screws formed by die, (e) carriage bolt head formed by punch and die http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=218nPKuoKSM (Nail, 1.5 miin)

  15. Swaging Accomplished by rotating dies that hammer a workpiece radially inward to taper it as the piece is fed into the dies • Used to reduce diameter of tube or solid rod stock • Mandrel sometimes required to control shape and size of internal diameter of tubular parts

  16. Swaging and Radial Forging • Swaging process to reduce solid rod stock; dies rotate as they hammer the work • In radial forging, workpiece rotates while dies remain in a fixed orientation as they hammer the work http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilL8ViUDUKc (cartoon, 1.5 min) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1ZU6Yh0ce4 (37 sec)

  17. Closed Die Forging - Workpiece is completely trapped in the die and no flash is generated; die design and process variables must be carefully controlled http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28xAbL1gT8Q (2 min) 17
