Abstract

Precision forging is an innovative manufacturing process for the flashless, near-net shape production of high-performance components. Outstanding material characteristics as well as a reduced process chain and a high material efficiency are the essential advantages of precision forging. Only defined functional surfaces need a finishing after the forging and integrated annealing process. The finite element method (FEM) of forming processes enables a material flow computation of the workpiece material as well as a realistic tool analysis already in the conception period for the forging tools. Due to the exceeding high thermal and mechanical loads and for detailed dimensioning of the raw part volumes for precision forging processes, the use of finite element analyses (FEA) saves costs due to shorter invention times.
