Abstract
In an automotive engine valve forging process, the billet is cold sheared, induction heated, and fed to a mechanical press for a two-stage forging operation with the first stage being extrusion. The main limiting factor in this operation is the wear of the dies during the first stage, extrusion. In this study. abrasive wear was identified as the primary mode of wear, and computer simulation was used to investigate the effect of process variables, such as press speed, initial billet temperature, and die preheat temperature upon abrasive wear. The result generated by this study should be applicable to other part geometry and not limited just to exhaust valves.
