Abstract

A green manufacturing and forming technology called the ultra-high temperature forging is introduced. The highest temperature of the ingot in the new forging technology was about 200 °C higher than the initial forging temperature in the traditional forging process. The DEFORM-3D software was used to simulate both the ultra-high temperature forging process and the traditional forging process. The ingot was cut longitudinally along the centreline. Nine points on the axis of the cutting plane and nine points on the radial direction were selected. The equivalent stress and the equivalent strain of these points were compared respectively under the two forging processes by using the particle tracking method. The typical points which were easy to crack under two different forging processes were found. Comparing with the tensile strength calculated by the software JMatPro® and the maximum principal stress calculated by the software DEFORM-3D, we found the new forging technology could avoid hot cracking.
