Digital Nature

A noncontacting device has been developed to measure the instantaneous displacement, velocity, or acceleration of a moving body. The device, based on a solid-state camera, has been used to measure some of the main parameters in a high-speed metal forming operation, though in principle it could be applied to almost any moving body. Errors associated with the digital nature of the measurement are discussed and evaluated.

The application of the High Energy Rate Forming (HERF) represents a new paradigm in the field of production of knowledge-based more components materials: furthermore, joining by plastic deformation of the materials is carried out directly, by high speed, high energy shock waves, without using energy transforming equipment as hydraulic presses etc. The energy sources of the HERF processes are either the electrical energy stored in capacitors or chemical energy stored in the high explosives. High explosives can be utilized for many metalworking techniques; however the three main types of explosive metalworking are: Explosive welding and cladding Explosive tubeforming Explosive compaction of powders and granulates. The present work briefly introduces the principles and practices of the three main types of the explosive metalworking techniques mentioned above and discusses aspects of their numerical simulation.

As a first stage in the development of a large, double-acting, petrol combustion actuated, high energy-rate forming machine, a compressed-air driven device was designed and constructed. This was intended to be a research vehicle for establishing general design principles, particularly as far as the structural configurations and the method of platen synchronization were concerned. The characteristic design features of this machine are discussed and an appraisal of the design is given. Experiments were carried out with the aim of (1) determining the net energy output of the machine and (2) finding the maximum platen approach velocity for a range of values of the initial charge pressure. For the determination of the energy output of the machine, calibrated crush-gauges were used, the results being cross-checked by measuring the maximum relative velocity between the platens, and from this and the weight of the moving masses finding the maximum kinetic energy. For the determination of the maximum platen approach velocity, electric velocity transducers were used, the results being checked with the aid of a high-speed ciné camera. The maximum energy output of the machine was found to be 75 000 ft lb, which was attained with a maximum impact velocity of 80 ft/s, as aimed at in the design of the machine. Some typical examples of hot forgings produced with the machine are also presented.

This paper describes an automatic high energy-rate forging system, consisting of a Petro-forge machine linked to an induction furnace with an automatic billet transfer mechanism. The system contains also automatic die lubrication, as well as pyrometric and other safety interlocks, permitting the feeding and forging of hot billets at a rate of one every 5 s. Hot upsetting tests carried out with this automatic forging system, aiming at the determination of the effect of dwell time on die wear, are discussed. Two series of experiments were carried out, with dwell times of 40 and 250 ms respectively. In the shorter dwell time tests, five different die materials were evaluated with the aim of establishing their relative wear resistance. It was found that the higher alloyed die steels offer improved performance over the conventional low alloy steels, ‘good value for money’ being obtained by WEX 779. An analysis of the dwell time, performed by taking a high speed cine film of the whole forging operation, showed that it consisted of forging, bouncing and after-forging phases. In both the short and the long dwell time tests the forging phase and the bouncing phase were 4 and 30 ms, respectively. However, the after-forge phase was 6 ms for the short dwell time and 216 ms for the long dwell time experiments. During the after-forge phase, the dies, with the upset workpiece between them, are pressed together by a relatively small force and in view of this heat transfer is poor. Nevertheless, the increase of the dwell time has a very large effect on die wear, doubling the rate of wear in some cases, depending on the type of die material used.

Striking Velocities

The paper describes an investigation of high speed or ‘high energy-rate’ extrusion of cold metal billets. Preliminary trials were carried out with a small pilot machine which, with low explosive drive, could supply up to 430 ft lb per blow at a striking velocity of 132 ft/s. Main trials were subsequently completed using two ‘full-scale’ machines, one explosively driven and the other driven by compressed air, designed to be complementary to each other in such a way that a wide range of energies and striking velocities could be achieved, up to 10 000 ft lb and over 300 ft/s. The metals used were aluminium, copper and mild steel, all in the annealed state. In the main the experience gained was satisfactory and encouraging, and while it was concluded that impact velocities of the order of 50–100 ft/s are feasible, it appeared that the disadvantages of much higher velocities would outweigh the advantages.

The hammer forging is a well-known technology to incrementally produce geometrically complex forgings by compressing the material against the dies using several forming blows. When forging aeronautical components with this technology, it is crucial to control the final grain size of the part since this variable highly influences the high temperature low cycle fatigue properties. Nowadays, it is common practice to use the finite element models coupled with recrystallization models to optimize the process parameters and strategy. However, a very important variable to conduct these simulations is the real available hammer energy, which must be calibrated, not being an easy task since very high forces are generated in the impact of the anvils. In the present paper, the copper-column upsetting method is compared with a novel method where a high speed camera has been used to compute the anvils’ velocity and corresponding energies. The compressive behavior of the copper samples has been characterized using Rastegaev compression tests. The experimental and calculated results using the high speed camera are compared to the ones obtained using high purity copper samples. These measurements have enable to quantify the influence the friction and the elastic rebound have during the energy transfer from the anvils to the billet. This makes possible a precise future characterization of hammers using the conventional copper-column upsetting method if high speed cameras are not available in workshop.

Circuit Function

Most microelectronics devices and circuits operate faster, consume less power, execute more functions and cost less per circuit function when the feature-sizes internal to the devices and circuits are made smaller. This is part of the stimulus for the Very High-Speed Integrated Circuits (VHSIC) program. There is also a need for smaller, more sensitive sensors in a wide range of disciplines that includes electrochemistry, neurophysiology and ultra-high pressure solid state research. There is often fundamental new science (and sometimes new technology) to be revealed (and used) when a basic parameter such as size is extended to new dimensions, as is evident at the two extremes of smallness and largeness, high energy particle physics and cosmology, respectively. However, there is also a very important intermediate domain of size that spans from the diameter of a small cluster of atoms up to near one micrometer which may also have just as profound effects on society as “big” physics.
