Cold Rotary Forging

Cold rotary forging is an advanced but complicated metal forming technology with continuous local plastic deformation. Investigating the wear is significant for effectively predicting the life of the dies and improving the workpiece surface quality. This paper is aimed to use the FE method to predict the wear response over the surfaces of the dies and the workpiece in cold rotary forging. For this purpose, a 3D elastic-plastic dynamic explicit FE model of cold rotary forging of 20CrMnTi alloy is developed using the FE software ABAQUS/Explicit and its validity is verified theoretically and analytically. Based on this valid 3D FE model, a systematic study has first been conducted, modeling and explaining the contact pressure and slip distance response. Then, the wear response that occurs at the surfaces of the dies and the workpiece is achieved. Finally, the effect of the process parameters, rotational speed n of the upper die, feed rate v of the lower die, outer/inner diameter of the ring workpiece, on the wear response is revealed. The results of this research help us better understand the complicated wear mechanisms in cold rotary forging. Moreover, the modeling methods proposed in this paper have the general significance to study the wear problems in other complicated metal forming processes.

Cold Rotary Forging

Cold rotary forging is an advanced but very complex incremental metal forming technology with multi-factors coupling interactive effects. The position between the upper die and the workpiece has a significant effect on the cold rotary forging process. In the current work, a 3D elastic-plastic dynamic explicit FE model of cold rotary forging of a cylindrical workpiece is developed under the ABAQUS software environment and its validity has been verified experimentally. On the basis of this reliable 3D FE model, the effects of the position between the upper die and the workpiece on the cold rotary forging process have been thoroughly revealed. The results show that with increasing the distance between the pivot point of the upper die and the centre of the workpiece, the deformation of the workpiece becomes more inhomogeneous and the maximum axial forging force and forging moment gradually increase. The results of this research not only provide valuable guidelines for the installation and adjustment of dies in the cold rotary forging process, but also help to better understand the deformation mechanisms of cold rotary forging.

Cold Rotary Forging

Cold rotary forging is a novel metal forming technology which is widely used to produce the high performance gears. Investigating the microstructure and mechanical property of cold rotary forged gears has a great significance in improving their service performance. In this study, the grain morphology in different regions of the spur bevel gear which is processed by cold rotary forging is presented. And the distribution regulars of the grain deformation and Vickers hardness in the transverse and axial sections of the gear tooth are studied experimentally. A three-dimensional rigid-plastic FE model is developed to simulate the cold rotary forging process of a spur bevel gear under the DEFORM-3D software environment. The variation of effective strain in the spur bevel gear has been investigated so as to explain the distribution regulars of the microstructure and Vickers hardness. The results of this research thoroughly reveal the inhomogeneous deformation mechanisms in cold rotary forging of spur bevel gears and provide valuable guidelines for improving the performance of cold rotary forged spur bevel gears.

The application of computer-aided design and manufacturing techniques is becoming essential in modern metal-forming technology. Thus process modeling for the determination of deformation mechanics has been a major concern in research . In light of these developments, the finite element method--a technique by which an object is decomposed into pieces and treated as isolated, interacting sections--has steadily assumed increased importance. This volume addresses advances in modern metal-forming technology, computer-aided design and engineering, and the finite element method.

Through-thickness reinforcement is a promising solution to the problem of delamination susceptibility in laminated composites. Modeling Z-pin–prepreg interaction is essential for accurate robotics-assisted Z-pin insertion. In this paper, a novel Z-pin insertion force model combining the classical cohesive finite element (FE) method with a dynamic analytical fracture mechanics model is proposed. The velocity-dependent cohesive elements, in which the fracture toughness is provided by the analytical model, are implemented in Z-pin insertion FE model to predict the crack initiation and propagation. Then Z-pin insertion experiments are performed on prepreg sample with metallic Z-pins at different velocities to identify the analytical model parameters and validate the simulation predictions offered by the model. Dynamics of Z-pin interaction with inhomogeneous prepreg is described and the effects of insertion velocity on prepreg contact force are studied. Results show that the force model agrees well with experiments and the fracture toughness rises with the increasing Z-pin insertion velocity.

In this study, composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs) for high-pressure hydrogen storage were designed, modeled by finite element (FE) method, manufactured by filament winding technique and tested for burst pressure. Aluminum 6061-T6 was selected as a metallic liner material. Epoxy impregnated carbon filaments were overwrapped over the liner with a winding angle of ±14° to obtain fully overwrapped composite reinforced vessels with non-identical front and back dome layers. The COPVs were loaded with increasing internal pressure up to the burst pressure level. During loading, deformation of the vessels was measured locally with strain gauges. The mechanical performances of COPVs designed with various number of helical, hoop and doily layers were investigated by both experimental and numerical methods. In numerical method, FE analysis containing a simple progressive damage model available in ANSYS software package for the composite section was performed. The results revealed that the FE model provides a good correlation as compared to experimental strain results for the developed COPVs. The burst pressure test results showed that integration of doily layers to the filament winding process resulted with an improvement of the COPVs performance.
