Abstract:

The presented paper deals with the manufacturing of the automotive wheels. It focuses on the effect of the forging die geometry on the loading conditions during the hot forging of the preform of the wheel. The investigation within the scope the paper has been done on the basis of the finite-element (FE) modelling. It was carried out by means of the FE commercial codes QFORM-2D/3D. The FE modelling of the hot forging of the preform of the wheel showed the potentiality of the chosen scheme of the combined extrusion-type forging with the help of a loaded-die. The relationships between the geometrical parameters of the die and the technological parameters of the forging were established on the basis of numerical simulation.
