FORGING PROCESS
Forging is a manufacturing process, which shapes a work piece by
applying compressive forces on it. According to the temperature at
which is performed, forging is classified in “hot”, “warm” and “cold”.
Forging is a metal working process in which useful shape is obtained
in solid state by hammering or pressing metal.

COLD FORGING
INITIAL DESIGN
MODIFIED DESIGN
The figures shown above are the cold forged sequence made by progressive dies.
The company data estimates that the dies used to manufacture these, fails after about 1000 cycles.
In order to rectify the problem of failure of die, the forging sequence were simulated
using deformable punch die model.
SIMULATION AND RESULTS
These efforts allow the engineer to identify the process deficiencies easily,
leading to cost and time saving.
