High temperature deformation and softening behavior of SAF 2507 super duplex stainless steel (SDSS) has been investigated in connection with an FEM analysis of hot forging process. Flow curves at various strain rates and temperatures were determined first from compression tests, and the kinetics of dynamic recrystallization were also formulated through the analysis of load relaxation test results. Applying the dynamic materials and proposed by Prasad et al., it was possible to determine the characteristics of deformation behavior effectively at a given condition of deformation. Constitutive relations and recrystallization kinetics formulated from the test results were then implemented in a commercial FEM code. Flow stress compensation formulated upon the volume fraction of recrystallization and adiabatic heating was found to improve significantly the FEA solutions in predicting the forming load and the distribution of recrystallized volume fraction after forging.

A lot of straight bevel gears have been manufactured by the cold forging process in order to improve the productivity and mechanical property of the product. The die for the cold forging of the gear needs high precision and reproducibility. In the study, cold forging die has been modeled by CAD/CAM and manufactured by machining center using ball end mill coated by (Al, Ti)N for heat-treated alloy steel(STD11, HRC 60). Through the measurement of the machined die, satisfactory dimensional accuracy and surface roughness were obtained. In the future, many 3-d cold forging dies will be directly machined instead of electric discharge machining.

The hot forming process of an exhaust CAM for vessel engine was designed by finite element(FE) simulation and experimental analysis. An aim of process design was to achieve the near-net shaped CAM forgings by hot forging process. Based on the compression test results of the low alloy steel, power dissipation map was generated using the the dynamic materials model(DMM). From the map, the initial heating temperature was determined as 1200oC. FE analysis was simulated to predict the formation of forging defects and deformed shape with different forging designs. Optimum process design suggested in this work was made by comparing with the CAM for vessel engine manufactured by actual forging process.

In this paper a finite element based system is presented for the prediction of the distributions of the recrystallized grain sizes in the workpiece in hot forging. The system adopts a fully coupled finite element thermo-mechanical model for predicting plastic deformation and heat transfer occurring in the workpiece and employs existing metallurgical models relating the recrystalliza-tion behavior with the thermo-mechanical variables such as temperatures strain and strain rate. The system is applied to upsetting of cylindrical preform. The predicted grain sizes are compared with the measurements. It is further applied to forging of a complex-shaped product.

For the production of cold forged parts with near-net-shape attributes, the quality of the tool system is responsible for an essential portion of costs fer the finished components. Therefore, a tool lift is one of the important issues on cold forging industry. There are many complicated variables related with tool life, such as material, heat-treatment, coating, lubricant, process design. In this study, heat-treatment of tool material and lubricant are investigated to improve the tool life. Deep cryogenic treatment of tool steel is very efficient to improve the wear resistance due to the fine carbide. And, friction factor of lubricants for cold forging are measured by the ring compression test. Zinc-Phosphate and $MoS_2$ lubricant is effective to sustain the friction factor under 0.1.

This study presents the enhancement of forgeability of SNCM522H materials. Target parts are output shaft(OP shaft) used as components of power train for automobiles. To carry out cold forging process of OP shaft by 1 pass instead of existing 2 pass process, studies in terms of process design and heat treatment were performed. To introduce the new process, the finite element method was accomplished, and to assess the validity of proposed heat treatment cycle, several experiments(hardness test, observation of optical microstructures, tensile test) were carried out. The 2Pass forging process could be reduced as lPass process through improvement of process and heat treatment technology and that would give cost reduction.

In order to resolve the problems which appear after the clean large ingot production process, the impurities which are involved in the steel smelting process should be removed by developing cleaner materials. Through the rationalization of cogging process that is the first forging process of large ingot the quality is to be improved. For the sake of the optimization of an open die forging process and the improvement of the subject matter frequency ratio, a hazard precise die forging process must be developed and a Near Net Shape Forming accomplished. As a result, energy can be reduced by minimizing an after control process. In order to produce large axes and other forming parts, processing techniques are to be developed. In this context, this paper is a study about a reduction ratio, dies width ratio and rotary angles, the amount of overlap, and intends to analysis cogging processes, utilizing Deform-3D cogging module

Simulations of warm and hot forming processes need reliable expressions of flow stress at high temperatures. To get flow stress of the materials usually tension, compression and torsion tests are conducted. In this study, hot compression tests were adopted to get flow stress of medium carbon steel. Experiments have been conducted under both isothermal, near constant strain rate in the temperature ranges 650～100$0^{\circ}C$. Phase transformation takes place by temperature changes for steels in hot and warm forging stage. So Constitutive equation are formulated as the function of strain, strain rate and temperature for isothermal conditions and phase transformation.

Titanium alloy has been in the spotlight as a core material in high-tech industries that require high strength and light weight because it has excellent strength and corrosion resistance and strength is higher than that of steel. Therefore, in various industries, existing steel products are intended to be replaced with titanium alloys. Titanium alloys can cause cutting tool breakage during cutting, and heat generated during cutting does not dissipate, accumulates in tools and workpieces, resulting in large wear and tear on thin workpieces. In addition, since titanium alloy is a metal with high chemical activity, the wear of the tool becomes more severe when the cutting speed is high, so machining of titanium bolt through cutting is very disadvantageous in terms of productivity. Therefore, the production of bolts using titanium alloys is being produced through a forging process to improve productivity and product quality. In this paper, hot forging molding analysis was performed on bolts used for fastening automobile parts using Ti-6Al-4V alloy, which is the most commonly used titanium alloy.
