Additive Manufacturing Assisting the Design of Closed - Die Forgings

Article Preview

Abstract:

Rebielskij-type design of a rolled con rod preform and appropriate upper and lower dies are presented. The proposed process was tested by Simufact Forming program and modifications made to satisfy the criteria of shape, stress and strain state and temperature distribution during processing. Based on the CAD documentation, a STL file was prepared for 3D polymer printing the die, the con rod preform and the forging. The results will enable 3D printing of prototypes in the appropriate metallic materials, leading to tool manufacture and processing in industrial conditions.
