A Study on the Defect of T type Forging Products

T형 다조부품의 결함에 관한 연구

This paper describes the method that can expand the forming limit of T type forging products used in aircraft and automotive forged products. The forming limitis determined by the ratio of web thickness to rib width in T type and the reduction in height of workpiece and especially depends on the ratio of web thickness to rib width. For this method, the geometric condition that consists of triangle type was introduced and FEM simulations and model exoeriments were carried out and compared with each other. The objective of this paper is to give the method not only that sink mark and folding phenomenon are eliminated but also that the forming limit and the structural strength of rib and web is increased.
