Forging Introduction
ver. 1
• Forging
• Wire drawing
• Extrusion
• R lli
Rolling
• Connecting rods
• Wire
• Bars
• Wi d
Window fframes
• Small:
– coins
– surgical
i l wire
i
• Large:
– power plant turbine shafts
– aircraft landing gear
• Material is deformed
– improvement of material properties
• grain refinement
• grain orientation
• work hardening
σ t = σ oε n
• Material is conserved
– minimal trimming and machining
• Plasticity
• Friction
• Elasticity negligible
– usually
ll much h smaller
ll magnitude

• Slab method
– plane strain Platen
– plane stress Forging

• Tresca (maximum shear stress)
yield criterion: τflow = σflow / 2
∴ Δγ = 2 Δ ε
σ = Kε n
