Abstract
This fundamental manufacturing processes video program begins by outlining forging's
function in refining the metallurgical microstructure of wrought mills forms,
and it's use in generating parts to near-net shape from these forms. Featured
are segments on the various types of forging processes, including: open-die
forging, impression-die forging, seamless ring rolling, hot-die forging, isothermal
forging. The open-die forging segment explains the process and defines it's
variables, such as: lengthening, upsetting and bulging. Also shown are the typical
die types, accessory tools and handling equipment used. The impression-die forging
section offers vivid examples of the complex shapes that can be achieved using
the process. In addition, the importance of flash in producing impression-die
forgings is explained, along with defining the term 'forgeability'. The seamless
ring rolling segment details the steps used to produce seamless rings from wrought
mill forms. The hot-die and isothermal forging section provides an explanation
on the distinction between these two processes, and how the use of heated dies
is essential for certain forging operations. This forging program concludes
with a segment on forging automation.
