Simulation and Analysis of hot forging dies for Pan Head bolt and insert component.

Abstract

Hot forging is a metal-forming process in which hot metal, in the form of bar stock or cut pieces, is shaped by pressing between impression dies. In high-temperature metal forming processes, die life has an important role on the productivity and the quality of the finished products. In this study wear analysis was carried out in a pan head bolt die in local industry. The simulation of the forging process on the die and the work piece was carried out by using commercially available software (ANSYS). In this paper discussed about to determine the stress distribution during hot forging operation of an asymmetric cross-sectioned in forging dies. The finite element simulation is used to find out the amount of stress occurred in dies that influence of friction on the die wear and the material flow is discussed for this forging component. This paper focuses on the modeling, simulation and analyses of the hot forging die for Pan head bolt and insert component die. The final results are in the form of different stresses distribution occurs in die cavity.
