Comparing the efficiency of flowsheets for hot die forging on crank presses

Abstract

The process of manufacturing a part as a semi-finished product (a forging) using hot die forging with further machining can be performed on various types of press forging equipment following several flowsheet variants. The task of selecting the best (most effective) variant is not always obvious. The paper considers the methods of the comparative estimation of the efficiency of several variants of manufacturing a forging of the same part on the basis of the following groups of indicators: metal consumption and forging force.
