FEM Analyses of the Radiation in Heating Forging Furnace

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to identify possible causes of longitudinal surface cracks found during early stages of ingot breakdown. However, these cracks need not necessarily form during forging or as a result of poor quality of the surface in metallurgical terms. Under certain conditions, they may occur even as the ingot is being heated in the furnace to the forging temperature. The cracks probably form within a few minutes after placing the ingot in the furnace as a result of the temperature gradient, which is most severe on the ingot surface. A numerical model was created to represent the case of three ingots in a furnace. Upon casting, the ingots are cooled down to no more than 600°C and then placed in a furnace at 1,100 - 1,200°C. Numerical simulations were used to analyse their internal stresses and temperatures.
