Abstract

The characteristics of temperature change on die and billet are very complex during the deformation process because of the interaction between them and some unstable external factors. In this paper, the numerical simulation model for the crank shaft die forging was established by means of the rigid-plastic FEM method. The model was validated by optical non-contact 3D measurement—ATOS. Based on available research results, this paper explored the effect of temperature conditions on material deformation and die wear. Three parameters, press velocity and initial temperature of billet and die, were chosen to illustrate the effects. From the experimental results, the effect of process parameters on deformation ability of the material is simple, while the effect on die wear is relatively complicated. The press velocity plays an important role on die wear when the initial temperature of the billet has larger influence on material deformation. A conclusion can be drawn that when the initial temperature of the billet is 1100 °C, the initial temperature of the die is 250 °C, and the velocity is kept in the range of 200-300 mm/s, the optimum solution for deformation ability of the material and die wear can be obtained. It is possible for the conclusion to be extended further for the control of temperature condition to optimize die life and material deformation.
