Finite-Element Analysis of a Helical-Gear Blank Hot-Forging
헬리컬기어 블랭크 열간단조의 유한요소해석
Abstract
Helical gears are machined from blanks, which are usually prepared by forging cylindrical billets at high temperatures through buster, blocker and finisher processes. As dimensions of the blank are closer to those of the machined part, machining cost can be more reduced. Therefore, there are a lot of efforts being made to optimize the forging processes in order to produce near-net shaped blanks. In the present investigation, a rigid viscoplastic finite element technique was used to analyze a helical gear blank hot forging processes and deformation, strain and temperature distributions, forging load variations during forging were obtained. In the paper, it is discussed how these results can be utilized to optimize die design, billet dimensions and press usage.
