FEM Simulation and Experimental Verification on Rotating Forging of Three-Layer Clad Cylinder Considering Constant Shear Friction

Abstract

This study assumes the interface friction between dies and bounded three-layer clad cylinder as constant shear friction considering the rotation of three-layer bounded clad cylinder to establish the finite element simulation. The commercial finite element software (SUPERFORM) is used to explore effectively the effective stress, effective strain, and velocity field, forging force, and rotating torque in the three-layer clad cylinder rotating forging. Moreover, the rotating forging experiment of the three-layer clad cylinder is carried out practically to measure the forging force and the outer surface of three-layer clad cylinder. Forging force between analysis and experiment are compared to verify the acceptance of FEM simulation. This study can be offered to industries for technology establishment of rotating forging.
