In this study, the forging process of spur gears has been investigated. The forging peocess of spur gears has been classified into two type of operations, guiding one and clamping one in this investigation. Two type forgings of spur gears have been analysed by using upper bound method. The predicted values of the forging load were compared with those obtained from the forging experiments. The forging experiments were carried out with a commerial aluminium alloy. The forged parts obtained through the guiding type forging were campared with those obtained through the clamping type forging.

Forging of spur gears has been investigated by means of upper-bound method. The term forging means forging of spur gears with solid cylindrical billets, hollow billets with flat punch. Kinematically admissbile velocity field for forging of spur gears has been proposed in this study. The 1/2 pitch of spur gear has been divided into seven dieformation regions, wherein, an involute curve has been introduced to represent the shape of die profile. Especially neutral surface has been introduced intor forging of hollow gears from hollow billets. By using the kinematically admissible velocity field, the powder requirements and suitable conditions for forging fo spur gears were successfully calculated with numerical method. According to the analysis , the acceptable number of teeth for forging of spur gears is from 15 to 20.

A simulation method based on upper bound method is developed in order to characterize forging characters in forging of spur gears. In this paper, utilizing a kinematically admissible velocity field and applying it to investigate the effect of inner diameter of holow billet. In the analysis, to predict the variation of inner diameter of hollw billet, neutral surface has been introduced. The neutral surface of each step is assumed as a circle and determined in order to have minimum forging energy by golden section method. By this method, the variation of inner diameter of billet during spur gear forging is successfully predicted. As a result, the selection of inner diameter of initial billet is very important to reduce the forging load.

Recently, precision forging techniques are applied to manufacture spur gears. Compared to conventional machining, they produce parts of better mechanical properties and less residual stresses with a much higher production rate. In the present investigation a rigid-plastic three dimensional finite element method was applied to analyze hot forging and cold sizing of a spur gear by closed dies. The involute curve of a tooth profile was approximated by a circle close to the curve. Results of the analyses make it possible to predict local strengths of the gear die failure and an appropriate preform for cold sizing. It was found that the preform for cold sizing. It was found that the preform for the cold sizing is the most important because it determines whether the gears especially teeth can be successfully formed.

Closed-die forging of spur gears with hollow cylindrical billet has been analysed by using the upper-bound method. A kinematically admiccible velocity field has been developed. wherein, an involute curve has been introduced to represent the forging die profile. In the analysis, the deformation regions have been divided into nine zones. A constant frictional stress has been assumed on the contacting surfaces. Utilizing the formulated velocity field, numerical calcuations have been carried out to investigate the effects of various parameters, such as module, number of teeth and friction factor,on the forging of spur gears.

Recently it is attempted to manufacture gears by various cold forging methods to meet requirements of mass production and uniform qualities. Compared to machined gears cold forged ears reveal higher tooth strength and better surface roughness but they reveal lower geometrical accuracies. Therefore in the present study a series of experiments are performed to investigate relations between geometrical accuracies of dies and billet and those of the final product. The geometrical accuracies of forged gears are considered through functional gear-element tolerances by measuring pitch error profile error lead error radial error tooth thickness and rolling test. Results of the experiments can be summarized as follows: (1) involute spur gears of KS 5(or AGMA7) accuracies can be made,(2) concentricity of die set should be maintained within 0.01mm (3) clearance between the billet and die set should be less than 0.1mm (4) con-centricity and radial runout should be less than 0.08mm and 0.1mm respectively. However it is thought that FEM analysis of elastic/thermal deformations of dies and the billet is necessary for a better understanding of the findings obtained through the present study.
