Effects of Forging Stream Line on Tensile Strength Using FEM Simulation

Abstract

Because bolt usages always have the requirement of tensile strength, with a view to reach the requirement of tensile strength, the material property or forming method and dies design can be used to obtain it. The study aims at the forming method and dies design to perform the multistage analysis of bolt to realize the effect of forging stream line continuity on tensile strength. The study uses Simufact-FEM software to do the multistage forming simulation to modify the dies design and forming method. The amount of broken forging stream line can be used to identify whether the bolt is good or not. From the comparison of realistic forging product, the results can verify the acceptance of FEM simulation.
