Abstract

This study applies the finite element method (FEM) to predict maximum forging load, billet volume and effective strain in near net-shaped helical-bevel gear forging. Finite element analysis is also applied when designing the near net-shape of a helical-bevel gear, a reverse forming approach to acquire the initial dimensions of the billet based on the forward forging of the helical-bevel gear. Maximum forging load, billet volume and effective strain are determined for different process parameters, such as modules, number of teeth, helix angle and workpiece temperature of the helical bevel gear forging, using the FEM. Finally, the prediction of the power requirement and billet dimensions for the helical-bevel gear warm forging are determined.
