In this paper, non-isothermal analysis of an automatic multi-stage cold forging process of a ball-stud is conducted using a new material model which is a closed form function of strain, temperature and strain rate covering low and warm temperatures for high-strength stainless steel SUS304. An assembled die structural analysis scheme is employed for revealing the detailed die stresses, which is of great importance for process and die design for metal forming of the materials with high strengths. Die elastic deformation is dealt with to predict final geometries of material with higher accuracy. A complete analysis model is proposed to be used for optimal design of process and die designs in automatic multi-stage cold forging of high-strength materials.
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.
