Experimental & Numerical Study of the Hot Upsetting of Weld Cladded Billets

Article Preview

Abstract:

The presented work is dedicated to studying the forgeability of bimaterial cladded workpiece. Hot upsetting tests of cylindrical low carbon steel (C15) billets weld cladded (MIG) by stainless steel (SS316L) are experimentally and numerically studied. Upsetting tests with different upsetting ratios are performed in different tribology conditions at 1050°C which is within the better forgeability temperature range of both substrate and cladding materials[ ]. Slab model and finite-element simulation are conducted to parametrically study the potential forgeability of the bimaterial cladded workpiece. The viscoplastic law is adopted to model the friction at the die/billet interface. The friction condition at the die/billet interface has a great impact on the final material distribution, forging effort and cracking occurrence. With Latham and Cockcroft Criterion, the possibility and potential position of cracks could be predicted.
