Optimal Design of Preform in Hot forging

열간 단조에서의 최적 예비형상 설계

The equi-potential lines designed in the electric field are introduced to find the preform shape in axisymmetric hot forging. The equi-potential lines generated between two conductors of different voltages show similar trends of the minimum work paths between the undeformed shape and the deformed shape. Base on this similarity, the equi-potential lines obtained by arrangement of the initial and final shapes are utilized fur the design of preform, and then the artificial neural network is used to find the range of initial volume and potential value of the electric field.
