Abstract: For forging die fracture behaviors during the actual forging process of compactor grinding tooth, the fully forging process has been simulated based on FEM. Die stress changes and distributions were analyzed in details through two related simulation processes. The maximum load acting on the die which type is ideal rigid body predicted firstly. Then, the die stress can be obtained by the elastic-plastic analysis when the die bears maximum load. Results show that Local stress concentration beyond ultimate strength of material causes the fracture of lower die.
