In this article, a new controllable and near net low-stress bar fine-cropping system was proposed and developed by combined using the stress concentration effect of the prefabricated V-groove and the propagation crack. The bar finecropping experiments were successfully carried out using a new proposed cropping load control strategy. Although the level of the stress intensity factor range DK greatly influences the cropping time and the cross-section quality, the cropped-billets can be directly used for the precision forging industry without additional machining.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
