Abstract:

The development of numerical simulation of technological processes such as forging and heat treatment allows to optimize the technology including the product’s mechanical properties. As an example the aluminum wheel forging was analyzed with the use of Ziner-Holomon’s parameter. The investigations were performed for the most critical zones of the forged parts such as web, crown, upper and lower flanges. The information provided by QForm simulation system allows to control the strain-rate and to reach the required level of mechanical properties and to avoid undesired microstructure when forging the wheels from AB aluminum alloy.
