Forging of Metals Chapter 14
Introduction A metal is shaped by compressive forcesOldest metal working process 4000BCCan be performed with a hammer and anvilTypical forged products:BoltsRivetsConnecting rodsGears
Lading-gear components for the C5A and C5B transport aircraft, made by forging.Steps involved in forging a bevel gear with a shaft.
Outline of Forging and Related Operations
Grain Structure Parts have good strengthHigh toughnessForgings require additional heat treating
Fig : A part made by three different procedures, showing grain flow (a) casting (b) machining (c) forging
Open-Die ForgingIs the simplest forging processSizes can very from very small parts to very large parts
Open-Die ForgingUpsetting or flat-die forging a solid workpiece is placed between flat dies and is compressed
Barreling caused by frictional forces at the die-workpiece interfacesCan be minimized if a lubricant is usedThermal effects caused by barreling can be minimized by using heated dies
Open-Die ForgingForging force
Impression-Die & Closed-Die ForgingThe workpiece acquires the shape of the die cavities while being forged between the two shaped dies
Impression-Die & Closed-Die ForgingThe blank to be forged is prepared by: Cutting from a bar stockPreformed blankCastingPreformed blank from prior forging
Impression-Die & Closed-Die ForgingFullering & edging are used to distribute the materialFullering material is distributed away from an areaEdging material is gathered into an area
Blocking rough shaping of the part
Impression dies give the part its final shape
Precision ForgingUsed for economic reasonsThe part formed is close to the final dimensionsLess machining is neededHigher capacity equipment is neededAluminum and Magnesium alloys work well in the process
Coining Closed-die forging process
Used for minting coins, medallions, & jewelryLubricants can not be used in coiningCan be used to improve surface finish
