Abstract

The forging operation can be seen as a system with a large number of interacting variables. Furthermore, these variables can have a rather large field of values which they can span when the die and workpiece temperatures and resulting contact times for conventional forging, hot-die forging and isothermal forging are rather different. The selection of the optimum conditions during isothermal forging is not simple. In conventional and hot-die forging, the problem is even more complex due to the heat transfer phenomena between billet and die.
