Abstract

Based on requirements from 60 metalworking plants in Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland, a series of projects on simulation of metalworking processes with model materials in a Nordic “action concertée” has been carried through. The subjects dealt with are: Materials properties, simulation of friction, plane simulation of three-dimensional problems, combined model-material and computer simulation, applications in cold forging, drop forging, rolling and extrusion. A number of problems have been solved and a number of institutes and industrial plants in the 4 Nordic countries are now using the technique as a natural and valuable aid in developing metalworking processes, setting of process and tool variables and designing tools.
