The mechanical and thermal load, and thermal softening occuring by the rush temperature of die, in warm and hot forging, cause wear, heat cracking and plastic deformation, etc. This paper describes the effects of solid lubricants and surface treatments for warm forging die. Because cooling effect and low friction are essential to the long life of dies, optimal surface treatments and lubricants are very important to hot and warm forging process. The main factors affecting die hardness and heat transfer, are surface treatments and lubricants, which are related to heat transfer coefficient, etc. To verify the effects, experiments are performed for heat transfer coefficient in various conditions - different initial billet temperatures and different loads. Carbonitriding and ionitriding are used as surface treatments, and oil-base and water-base graphite lubricants are used. The effects of lubricant and surface treatment for warm and hot forging die life are explained by their thermal characteristics, and the new developed technique in this study for predicting tool life can give more feasible means to improve the tool life in hot forging process.

In this study, a hot and cold forging process was investigated to produce a complex-shaped hub of dual clutch transmission with low material loss and high productivity. The process was designed by the commercial finite element (FE) analysis program, DEFORM-2D (hot forging) and 3D (cold forging). And, the material flow and ductile fracture characteristics were studied to check the surface crack initiation of the specimen. The simulation results indicated that the proposed process could manufacture the complex-shaped hub with no surface crack and high-efficiency compared to the conventional machining process. For verification the numerical results, the hub of the SCM440 was fabricated by the proposed process and the mechanical properties and microstructure evolution were studied. It was demonstrated that the suggested hot and cold forging process might be useful in producing the key components of the automobile industry as a high-efficiency and environmentally friendly process.

In this paper, the six sigma scheme is employed together with the rigid-viscoplastic finite element method to obtain the optimal metal flow lines in hot press forging. In general, the six sigma process is consisted of following five steps : define, measure, analyze, improve and control. Each step Is investigated in detail to meet customer's requirements through improvement of product quality. A forging simulator, AFDEX-2D, is used for analysis of the metal flow lines of a multi-stage hot forging process under various conditions of major factors, determined at each step of the six sigma process. The analyzed results are examined in order to reveal the effects of major factors on the metal flow lines and the formed shapes. The effects are used to find an optimal process and the optimal process with die is devised and tested. The comparison between required metal flow lines and experiments shows that the approach is effective for optimal process in hot forging design considering metal flow lines.

Process design of hot forging, asymmetric to symmetric rail, which is used for the turnout of railway express has been investigated. Owing to the big difference in shape between the initial billet and the final forged product, it is impossible to hot forge the rail in a single step. Therefore, multi step forging as well as die design for each step are necessary for the production. The deformation behavior during hot forging has been analyzed by the numerical simulation through commercial FEA software, DEFORM$^{TM}$-2D. Modification of the design and repeated simulation have been carried out on the basis of the simulation result. For comparison with the simulation results, flow analysis experiment using plasticize has been also carried out. The results of the flow analysis experiment showed good agreement with those of the simulation. Therefore, the developed process design could be applied to the actual production.

Piston crown to the hot forge a unified nature of the product has a shape with multi-level step forging process, so if you are not a mechanical professional, this process could lead to a significant loss to the material. Therefore, material technology in minor terms; continue to improve the collection rate that undamaged the product material. The piston crown and the manufacturing products such as marine diesel engines are being forged to reduce costs and to improve mechanical properties. Piston crown molding is a hot forging process that works in large volume forging products. Because of the size of the hard plastic material flow process for improving the design and actual field experience through advanced plastic technology, it is important to interpret the results. Also for many experimental plastic procedures, the accumulation of results is very important.

A monobloc tubular drive shaft is designed to obtain the improved structural safety and the weight reduction of the drive shaft together. The monobloc tubular drive shaft can be manufactured from an incremental hot rotary forging process. The aim of this study was to experimentally determine conditions of an incremental hot rotary forging process for a monobloc tubular drive shaft. Induction heating experiments were performed to estimate a proper heating time of an initial workpiece in an induction heating process. Several incremental hot rotary forging experiments were carried out using a mechanical press with the designed set-up. The step distance and the step angle were chosen as controllable forming parameters. Based on the results of the experiments, the influence of forming parameters on the quality of the forged part was investigated. Finally, a forming map and a proper forming condition of the incremental hot rotary forging process were estimated.

The main cause of die failure in hot forging is wear. Die wear directly generates the gradual loss of part tolerances, thereby causing deterioration in the dimensional accuracy of a forged part. It is very important to estimate forging cycles, called as die life, at which the die should be repaired or replaced. In this study, in order to estimate the hot forging die life, the finite element simulation of wear on an asymmetric part like a ball joint socket used in vehicle was carried out based on Archard's model. Finite element simulation results were compared with wear amounts of a used die that were measured using a contact stylus profilometer. The simulation results were in relatively good agreement with measurements obtained from the virtual die which was used by 7,000 forging cycles in a forging industry. Consequently, the die life in the hot forging of the ball joint socket was estimated by 10,500 forging cycles on the finisher die.

Forging is a manufacturing process involving the shaping of metal using localized compressive forces and the process of deforming metal into a predetermined shape using certain tools and press according to the temperature. Forging provides stronger metal parts than that possible by casting or machining. Conventional clutch jaw parts have been developed through cold forging and precision machining; however, fabrication of integral clutch jaw parts for farm machinery has not been reported yet. These parts were developed by applying a complex forging technology combining cold and hot forging. The integrated forming technology proposed in this study will be useful for reducing the lead-time for manufacturing, improving the accuracy of products, and eliminating the welding process.

This study investigated the effect of the changes in metal characteristics due to the hot forging on SCR420HB applied to ensure the optimal production of the hot-forging ratio on the mechanical properties of an automotive automatic transmission gear. The microstructural changes in the forging ratio were investigated by adjusting the forging range into multiple ranges from alloy steel. This was done in order to set the optimum forging range given the manufacturing process conditions during the hot forging of alloy steel parts with a carbon content of more than 0.8% wt. The effects of the content change in the microstructure on the mechanical properties due to the use of the part were examined.
