Abstract

The plastic flows of metal for the light stages in the upsetting of a cylindrical blank by conical and flat dies are considered. The position of the flows division is established at the boundary of two free surfaces at the end of the blank: the internal (conical) surface; and the external (lateral) surface. We may identify phenomenological aspects of the upsetting of a cylindrical blank by conical and flat dies: the direction of the displaced-metal flows; the curvature of the trajectory; the transition from sections that have no contact with the tool to end sections of the blank’s surface; the alternating rotation of the primary axes of the coordinate-grid cells; and the deformational rotation and shear near the end. The deformation due to the conical and flat dies is found to be superior to that associated with decrease in the contact friction and with the conversion of braking frictional forces to active forces. The theoretical conclusions are based on analysis of the same coordinate grid within the billet on the basis of nine photographs in step-by-step upsetting.
