Recently, precision forging techniques are applied to manufacture spur gears. Compared to conventional machining, they produce parts of better mechanical properties and less residual stresses with a much higher production rate. In the present investigation a rigid-plastic three dimensional finite element method was applied to analyze hot forging and cold sizing of a spur gear by closed dies. The involute curve of a tooth profile was approximated by a circle close to the curve. Results of the analyses make it possible to predict local strengths of the gear die failure and an appropriate preform for cold sizing. It was found that the preform for cold sizing. It was found that the preform for the cold sizing is the most important because it determines whether the gears especially teeth can be successfully formed.

This paper deals with automated computer-aided process planning by which designers can determine operation sequences even if they have little experience in the design of press working products. The computer-aided process planning in hot forging, deep drawing and blanking requires many kinds of technical and empirical skills based on investigation and collection of the knowledge of their processes. An approach to the CAPP system is based on the knowledge-based rules and the process knowledge base consisting of process planning rules is built. The methodology adopted to develop the system is elaborated in this paper. This system has been written in AutoLISP on the AutoCAD with a personal computer and provides powerful capabilities for process planning of hot forging, cold forging, deep drawing and blanking products.

A impeller hub is usually made through three forging processes : forward extrustion, upsetting and finishing. The finishing process is closed die forging in which the load increases abruptly at the final stage, resulting in underfilling in the finished product due to insufficient load capacity of the press. In this study, the rigid-plastic finite element analysis was applied to the impeller hub forging process in order to optimize process and to estimate required load. As a result, two kind of improvements for the process were suggested to reduce the load requirement in the finishing process.

Powder Forging technology is being developed rapidly because of its economic merits and the possibility of lightening parts by replacing steel parts with aluminum ones especially in automotive parts manufacturing. Recently Powder Forging process is widely used for manufacturing primary mechanical parts as a combined technology of P/M and precision hot forging. This paper describes the process conditions for the powder forging of Aluminium alloy piston. For example powder alloy design preform design by FEM simulation cold of compaction of specimens and preform sintering of preform powder forging process. The characteristics of sintered compaction of specimens and preform sintering of preform powder forging process. The characteristics of sintered products and final forged piston ones are investigated with tensile strength hardness ductility and so on. Eventually its results prove the improve mechanical properties of the piston produced by powder forging.

In this study, the forging process of spur gears has been investigated. The forging process of spur gears has been classified into two type of operations, guiding one and clamping one in this investigation. Two type forgings of spur gears have been analysed by using upper bound method. The predicted values of the forging load were compared with those obtained from the forging experiments. The forging experiments were carried out with a commercial aluminium alloy. The forged parts obtained through the guiding type forging were campared with those obtained through the clamping type forging.

The automated die design program is developed for cold forging of axisymmetric parts which are mainly produced by forward extrusion, backward extrusion, composite extrusion and upsetting. For this study, firstly classification of forged parts and investigation of die construction type usually employed in forging industry are carried out and the most proper type from several kinds of die construction is proposed as a standardized one. Based on the die design rules summarized in the references such as handbooks, technical papers, monthly journals, etc. the automated die design program was made using AutoLISP language available in AutoCAD software of personal computer. This program interactively runs for only input data, for example, forging process, shape of forged parts, type of punch, split of die insert and design of shrinkage rings and then displays details of drawings necessary to make a forging die. When a variety of forging processes and forged parts are tested to examine the validity of this program, it was confirmed to give good results applicable to the forging die design in press shop.
