Abstract

As a result of the research work in this project, a comprehensive approach is presented for the consideration of the interactions between process, tool and machine in the FE-based design of cold forging tools and processes: The approach comprises an efficient determination of the deflection characteristic of press and tooling system and its subsequent condensed modeling in combination with the FE simulation of a cold forging process. Then, based on a set of simulations, a parametric process model is developed. It permits an optimization of the values of influencing parameters to achieve high workpiece accuracy considering the interactions. By acquiring and, afterwards, applying knowledge on the process behavior, the required number of simulations for the parametric process model and the optimization can be reduced considerably. The approach can be completed by using the parametric process model for estimating scatter and uncertainties of target values depending on those of the influencing parameters.
