A Study on The Optimization of Three-Dimensional Forging Processes Using The Sensitivity Method

A shape optimization is applied to achieve a design objective in three-dimensional forging processes. In multi-stage forging processes, among the important design aspects, the die shape fur preforming is regarded as the design variable since it influences the forged part relatively higher than the others. The rigid-plastic finite element method and the sensitivity method are employed and formulated to solve a formulated optimization problem. An approximation scheme is also used for the direction search during the optimization. The upset forging of a square box is selected as a test example in order to demonstrate and verify the optimization process of this study. After the optimization, the optimized shape of the die yields a finial product of desire shape.
