Bulk Metal Forming

Bulk Deformation

• Metal forming operations which cause significant shape change
• Starting forms: cylindrical bars and billets, rectangular billets and slabs, and similar shapes

Importance of Bulk Deformation

• In hot working, significant shape change can be accomplished
• In cold working, strength can be increased during shape change
• Little or no waste: some operations are near net shape or net shape processes
  • The parts require little or no subsequent machining

Four Basic Bulk Deformation Processes

1. Rolling: slab or plate is squeesed between opposing rolls
2. Forging: work is squeezed and shaped between opposing dies
3. Extrusion: work is squeezed through a die opening, thereby taking the shape of the opening
4. Wire and bar drawing: diameter of wire or bar is reduced by pulling it through a die opening

Rolling

• which work thickness is reduced by compressive forces exerted by tow opposing rolls

The Rolls

• The rotating rolls perform two main functions

1. Pull the work into the gap between them by friction between workpart and rolls
2. Simultaneously squeeze the work to reduce cross section

Types of Rolling

• By geometry of work
  • Flat rolling
    • Draft: amount of thickness reduction
      • d = t0 - tf
    • Reduction: draft expressed as a fraction of starting stock thickness
      • r = d / t0
    • d = draft
    • t0 = starting tthickness
    • tf = final thickness
  • Shape rolling
    • Work is deformed into a contoured cross-sectiion rather than flat
• By temperature of work
  • Hot rolling
  • Cold rolling

Rollling Mills

• Equipment is massive and expensive
• Two-high: two opposing large diameter rolls
• Three-high: work passes through both directions
• Four-high: backing rolls rupport smaller work rolls
• Cluster mill: multiple backing rolls on smaller rolls
• Tendem rolling mill: sequence of two-high mills

Thread Rolling

• Most important commercial process for mass producting bolts and screws
• Performed by cold working in thread rolling machines
• Advantages over thread cutting
  • Higher production rates
  • Better aterial utilization
  • Stronger threads due to work hardening
  • Better fatigue resistance due to compressive stresses introduced by rolling

Ring Rolling

• 언급만 잠깐 하고 넘어감

Forging

• Deformation process in which work is compressed between two dies
• Components: engine crangshafts, connecting rods, grears, aircraft structural components, jet engine turbine parts

Classification of Forging Operations

• Cold vs Hot forging
  • Hot or warm forging: most common, due to the significant deformation and the need to reduce strength and increase ductility of work metal
  • Cold forging: advantage is increased strength that results from strain hardening
• Impact vs press forging
  • Forge hammer - applies an impact load
  • Forge press - applies gradual pressure

Types of Forging Dies

• Open-die forging
  • work is compressed between two flat dies, allowing metal to flow laterally without constraint
  • Compression of workpart with cylindrical cross-section between two flat dies
• Impression-die forging
  • die surfaces contain a cavity or impression that is imparted to workpart, thus constraining metal flow - flash is created
  • Compression of workpart by dies with inverse of desired part shape
  • Flash is formed by metal that flows beyond die cavity into small gap between die plates
  • Flash must be later trimmed from part
• Flashless forging
  • workpart is completely constrained in die and no excess flash is produced
  • Compression of work in punch and die tooling whose cavity does allow for flash
  • Starting workpart volume must equal die cavity volume within very close tolerance
  • Process control more demanding than imporession-die forging
  • Best suited to part geometries that are simple and symmetrical
  • Often classified as a precision forging process

Impression-Die Forging Advantages and Limitations

• Advantages(compared to machining from solid storck)
  • Higher production rates
  • Conservation of metal(less waste)
  • Greater strength
  • Favorable grain orientation in the metal
• Limitations
  • Not capable of close tolerances
  • Machining often required to achieve accuracies and features needed, such as holes, threads, and mating surfaces that fit with other components

Forging Presses

• Apply gradual pressure to accomplish compression operation
  • Mechanical presses: converts rotation of drive motor into linear motion of ram
  • Hydraulic presses: hydraulic piston actuates ram
  • Screw presses: screw mechanism drives ram

Upsetting and Heading

• Forging process used to form heads on nails, bolts, and similar hardware products
• Cycle
  1. wire stock is fed to the stop
  2. gripping dies close on the stock and the stop is retracted
  3. punch moves forward
  4. bottoms to form the head

Swaging

• Accomplished by rotating dies that hammer a workpiece radially inward to taper it as the piece is fed into the dies

Trimming

• Cutting operation to remove flash from workpart in impression-die forging

Extrusion

• Compression forming process in which the work metal is forced to flow through a die opening to produce a desired cross-sectional shape
• Two basic types of extrusion
  • Direct extrusion
  • Indirect extrusion

Direct Extrusion

• Also called forward extrusion
• This extra portion, called the butt, must be separated

Indirect Extrusion

• Also called backward extrusion and reverse extrusion
• Limitations of indirect extrusion are imposed by the lower rigidity of hollow ram and difficulty in supporting extruded product as it exits die

General Advantages of Extrusion

• Variety of shapes possible, expecially in hot extrusion
  • Limitation: part cross-section must be uniform throughout length
• Grain structure and strength enhanced in cold and warm extrusion
• Close tolerances possible, especially in cold extrusion
• In some operations, little or no waste of material

Hot vs. Cold Extrusion

• Hot extrusion
  • prior heating of billet to above its recrystallizaion temperature
  • This reduces strength and increases ductility of the metal, permitting more size reductions and more complex shapes
• Cold extrusion
  • generally used to produce discrete parts
  • The term impact extrusion is used to indicate high speed cold extrusion

Extrusion Ratio

• Also called the reduction ratio
• rx = A0/Af(>1)
  • rx = extrusion ratio
  • A0 = cross-sectional area of the starting billet
  • Af = final cross-sectional area of the extruded section
• Applies to both direct and indirect extrusion

Die Angle

• Low
  • surface area is large, leading to increased friction at die-billet interface
  • Higher friction results in larger ram force
• High
  • more turbulence in metal flow during reduction
  • Turbulence increases ram force required
• Optimum angle depends on work material, billet temperature, and lubrication
• Maximum die angle = 90

Orifice Shape of Extrusion Die

• Simplest cross section shape = circular die orifice
• Shape of die orifice affects ram pressure
• As cross-section becomes more complex, higher pressure and greater force are required(ex: heat sink)

Extrusion Presses

• Either horizontal or vertical
  • Horizontal more common
• Extrusion presses
  • Usually hydraulically driven, which is expecially suited to semi-continuous direct extrusion of long sections
• Mechanical drives
  • Often used for cold extrusion of individual parts

Wire and Bar Drawing

• Cross-section of a bar, rod, or wire is reduced by pulling it through a die opening
• area reduction in drawing r
  • r = (A0-Af)/A0
  • A0 = orifinal area of work
  • Af = final work

Wire Drawing vs. Bar Drawing

• Difference is stock size
  • Bar: large diameter bar and rod stock
  • Wire: small diameter stock - wire sizes down to 0.03mm(0.001 in.)are possible

Drawing Practive and Products

• Drawing practive
  • Performed as cold working
  • Used for round cross-sections
• Products
  • Wire: electrical wire
  • Rod stock for nails, screws, rivets, springs
  • Bar stock: metal bars

Continuous Drawing

• Consisting of multiple draw dies separated by accumulating drums

Features of a Draw Die

• Entry region
• Approach
• Bearing surface
• Back relief
• Die materials

Preparation of the Work for Wire or Bar Drawing

• Annealing: to increase ductility of stock
• Cleaning: to prevent damage to work surface and draw die
• Pointing: to reduce diameter of starting end to allow insertion through draw die
