The Potential and Application Areas of Forging Aided by Shear Stress

Abstract:

The paper demonstrates the potential of unconventional metal forming method that consists in introducing shear stress at the die/workpiece interface during compression. In practice it can be realized by induction of reciprocating, vertical motion of a punch that adheres strongly to a workpiece. To estimate an effect of the method on the material flow, a relevant finite element model has been developed and the selected results of numerical simulations are presented in the paper. In comparison to the conventional forging, forming aided by shear stress is able to provide a number of benefits such as significant increase of local strains, lower press loads and the opportunity to control the strain distribution in the workpiece volume. Perspectives for continuation of the studies as well as possible application areas of forging aided by shear stress are discussed in the summary.
