Abstract

Die life estimation in hot forging processes is a compelling challenge, due to the number of factors, mainly wear and plastic deformation induced by thermal effects (tempering). The extent of the heating-cooling cycle and the steady state die temperature are known only after hundredth of work cycles. In the paper a realistic work sequence of repeated forging is simulated by the Finite Elements Method on a symmetrical workpiece geometry, for ease of calculation. Tool wear and tempering-induced deformation are estimated along the complete die life cycle, with the help of Neural Network Regression.
