Experiment and FE Analysis of Compression of Thick Ring Filled with Oil

Abstract:

Reducing automobile weight has been necessarily accelerated to save energy and improve drivability. Accordingly, use of high strength steel and hollow sections help in weight reduction. In this study, the effect of trapped oil has been investigated to improve the metal flow in upsetting of a hollow workpiece using no mandrel. It was found that the ideal deformation without friction between the dies and the workpiece was nearly achieved when a low and thick ring with trapped oil was upset. The inner diameter of the oil-filled ring was expanded more than that of the benchmark ring. The effect of the expansion of the ring and the reduction of the friction proved helpful in trial forming of a gear preform.
