Development of a Finisher Design System for Axisymmetic Hot Steel Forging

축대칭 열간 강단조의 피니셔 설계 시스템 개발

A forging product in general is made through buster blocker and finisher processes. The dies used in these processes are designed by experienced forging engineers. In the present study an expert system is developed for the finisher die design of axisymmetric hot steel forging. It is a rule based system written in Fortran and AutoLISp operating on a personal computer. In this paper major rules consid-ered in the system are summarized and the capabilities of the system are examined through several examples.
