Optical measurements and force measurements as a basis for predicting the tool life of forging dies

authored by: Mareile Kriwall, David Schellenberg, Christoph Niemann, Malte Stonis, Bernd Arno Behrens
Abstract: Wear due to thermal and mechanical stresses is one of the major causes of forging die failure. The assessment of die condition and the associated die life is usually based on experience. This paper presents a method to objectively predict the remaining life of a forging die. With this method a prediction based on optical measurements can be calculated. Practical tests show the possible applications. In addition, force measurements are performed and analyzed to determine how wear affects the force distribution in the die. The assessment based on optical measurements allows objective statements about the remaining tool life of forging dies. The analysis of the force measurements shows potential for predicting tool life but needs further investigation.
