The use of “dual-stream functions” in analyzing some three-dimensional metal-forming processes is demonstrated in this paper. The problems discussed are open-die forging of blocks, rolling of a rectangular bar with spread, piercing by elliptic and rectangular punches, and extrusion of a rectangular shape. For these forming processes, kinematically admissible velocity fields are selected using characteristics of the two stream functions. Approximate upper-bound solutions of the forming processes can be obtained from the proposed velocity fields.

Bound Theorem

A method for selecting admissible velocity fields is presented for incompressible material. As illustrations, extrusion processes through three basic types of curved dies have been treated: cosine, elliptic, and hyperbolic. Upper-bound theorem is used in obtaining mean extrusion pressures and also in choosing the most suitable deformation pattern for extrusion through square dies. Effects of die geometry, friction, and material properties are discussed.

Abstract The open die forging process can provide a number of benefits if its costs can be made competitive through automation. This paper describes a control strategy for automated open die forging forming sequence generation. An upper bound solution for forging with radiused tools is developed, along with a method for using this solution to estimate forming results, a necessary component of the control strategy. Model predictions are compared to physical experimental data using plasticine, and show good agreement.

Aspect Ratios

This paper is concerned with an attempt to find an upper bound solution for the problems of steady-state extrusion of asymmetric polygonal section bars through rough square dies. A class of kinematically admissible velocity fields is examined, reformulating the SERR technique, to get the velocity field that gives the lowest upper bound. This velocity field is utilized to compute the non-dimensional average extrusion pressure at various area reductions for different billet aspect ratios.

Formal Requirements

The choice of a kinematically admissible velocity field has a great effect on the predictive capacity of upper bound solutions. It is always advantageous, in addition to the formal requirements of the upper bound theorem, to select a class of velocity fields satisfying some additional conditions that follow from the exact formulation of the problem. In the case of maximum friction law, such an additional condition is that the real velocity field is singular in the vicinity of the friction surface. In the present paper this additional condition is incorporated in the class of kinematically admissible velocity fields chosen for a theoretical analysis of two - layer cylinders subject to compression and twist. An effect of the angular velocity of the die on process parameters is emphasized and discussed.

Die Geometry

The extrusion of section from round billet poses a great challenge for theoretical modeling of the process using upper bound method. The greatest difficulty in three-dimensional upper bound method is to determine kinematically admissible velocity field. The SERR (Spatial Elementary Rigid Region) technique is fairly applicable for analyzing extrusion of sections having re-entrant corners. A modified version of SERR technique has been used for extrusion of octagon sections from round billet through a linearly converging die. The circular cross section of the round billet is approximated by a regular polygon of equal area. The extrusion pressure has been computed for different boundary condition at the die billet interface. The optimum die geometry has been determined.

Theoretical Predictions

In this paper, two kinematically admissible velocity fields are derived for the proposed three-dimensional arbitrarily triangular and trapezoidal prismatic upper bound elemental technique (UBET) elements. These elements are applied to the portions between the circular shaped part and the straight rod part with three-dimensional metal flow in connecting rod forging, and then the capability of the proposed elements are shown. From the derived velocity fields, the upper bound loads on the upper die and the velocity field are determined by minimizing the total energy consumption with respect to some chosen parameters. Experiments with connecting rod forging were carried out with commercial pure lead billets at ambient temperature. The theoretical predictions of the forming load is in good agreement with the experimental results. It is shown that the proposed UBET elements in this work can effectively be used for the prediction of the forming load and velocity field in connecting rod forging.

The Kudo method for obtaining average pressures in some axisymmetric forming problems by the use of velocity fields having conical surfaces as discontinuity surfaces is reviewed in the paper. Following this it is shown that the extended treatment of admissible velocity fields is possible if the conical surfaces suggested by Kudo are replaced by curved surfaces. The application of these velocity fields to forming problems is then illustrated by simple examples of compression of cylindrical parts, and the improved upper bound to forming pressures is obtained.
