Isothermal Forging

Forging super alloys and other materials that have a low forgeability, can create difficulties during a metal forging process. Also, mechanical properties of some metals may vary greatly over small temperature ranges. To help eliminate some of the problems associated with manufacturing with these types of materials, particularly with regard to more complex parts, isothermal forging may be employed. This process is also called hot die forging.

Isothermal forging is a hot working process that attempts to maintain the work piece at its maximum elevated temperature throughout the entire operation. This is achieved by heating the die to the temperature of, or slightly below the temperature of the starting work piece. As forces exerted by the die form the work, cooling of the work piece between the mold work interface is eliminated, and thus flow characteristics of the metal are greatly improved. Isothermal forging may or may not be performed in a vacuum. Equipment costs for this manufacturing process are high, and the added expense of this type of operation should be justified on a case by case basis.

About Forging

Forging Means Uncompromised Strength

Forging is a process, used for adapting the desired shape by the action of hammering or pressing. The materials that are used in this process are generally in the form of ingot, which is produced by the manufacturing companies for applying mechanical operations. Forging is a very old metal working technique, used for shaping. In the early days when there was truancy of advanced digital machines then manual forging operations were done. In those days firstly material being heated in coal furnace then put it on an anvil after that hand-hammering operation done on workpiece to give it a desired shape.

In the current, when machines become more brainy and are able to produce components ranging from a small nut to turbine rotor.

Forging operation is carried out by plastic deformation of the material in between two dies which cross over its mould design on the fed material. There are different type of die frame-up which is gonna use as concern of favourable shape. In the designing of simple product open die forging is adapted but if there is a need for a complex part to be forge, close die technique come into know. This die generally asked for molten metal as feeding material. In open die forging simple hammering operation carried out manually or by machines and shape configuration is obtained.

While working on a closed die, on squeezing the die the same shape which have been Digg on-die prints on the product, the extra material comes out from the die which is removed by the path of peripheral and being trimmed latter.

There are two main types of closed die forging come into know

1. Press forging
2. Drop forging

Press Forging

In press forging material is squeezed between dies very slowly with the use of mechanical press or hydraulic press. Because of its slow operation the final product comes with more dimensional accuracy and fine surface area is received.

Press forging is a method of forming a piece of metal into a specific shape by applying gradual pressure on a shaped die holding the metal. In closed-die press forging, the metal is completely enclosed in a die and pressure is applied on the die. Compared to open-die press forging, closed-die is an overall more efficient method with lower chance of error.

With press forging, the metal is shaped in a uniform way from the surface to the center. This means the impressions created are cleaned and the end product is generally stronger. Tongs are usually not required, and draft angles are not as frequently used. Initial setup costs are also higher with press forging, but the method becomes more cost effective as volume increases.

Compared to drop forging, press forging has the advantage of being more cost effective for higher volume runs, and also results in a stronger workpiece. It also retains the strength benefits of forging compared to casting.

Process of Press Forging:

The forging done with the help of presses is known as press forging. It is usually referred as hot pressing, and is carried out either using hydraulic presses or mechanical (crank type) presses.

The press forging is similar to drop forging but uses a single, continuous, slow squeezing action instead of a series of impact blows. Because of slow ram travel and continuous action of the hydraulic presses, the deformation penetrates deeper so that the entire volume of the work piece simultaneously and uniformly undergoes plastic deformation. While in case of drop forging, the energy is only transmitted into the surface layers of the work part.

A good industrial practice is to use shaped blanks or preforms so that it can be forged in a single continuous stroke. The press forging may be of flash type of fleshless. In flash-press-forging, the surplus metal is flashed out in the gutter, provided at the parting line, while in flashless-press-forging, the entire material is utilized to fill the die cavity.
