Abstract:

The main aims of the work were to determine material characteristics of cold work tool steel, grade 210CR12 in semisolid forming conditions, as well as developing of numerical model of this steel. Moreover, possibilities of application of Computational Fluid Dynamic methods and solid mechanics modelling techniques were tested. Methodology and results of experimental investigation is described. The results of experiments were then utilized for developing series of numerical simulations. Two sets of simulations are presented, based on the Computational Fluid Dynamics or solid mechanic modelling methods. Comparison of experimental and numerical results is presented, as well as comparison of CFD and structural mechanics based numerical models.
