One direction of the cross wedge rolling technology is to realize high-efficiency, precise and near-net-shape forming hollow axle with multi-wedge synchrostep cross wedge rolling. This paper deduced the rotated condition of forming hollow shaft with multi-wedge cross wedge rolling (MCWR) base on forming solid shaft with single-wedge cross wedge rolling, and analyzed technics parameters on the influence of rotated conditions. Through the finite element simulation we got rolling technics parameters on the effect of rolled piece and selecting principle, and then created the 3D model of the equal diameter period of hollow axle with the MCWR. By using DEFORM-3D software, the process of rolling equal diameter period was simulated. The result indicated that it is feasible to roll hollow axle with multi-wedge synchrostep by cross wedge rolling.

The feature of the gear shaft with Cross wedge rolling technology is high efficiency, low material loss and higher strength of the gear shaft forming. A research model of cross wedge rolling plastic forming adopting tri-dimensional thermal elastic-plastic finite element method is put forward. Forming mold divided into two parts as the wedge-shaped molds and tooth mold is designed. Depending on orthogonal test program, applying Deform-3D to numerical simulate for the gear shaft with cross wedge rolling, the influence of temperature, number of teeth, module and feet rate for gear shaft tooth forming quality is studied.

The capabilities of presses are sometimes limited due to larger cutting force requirement for some sheet metal operations. Reducing the tonnage requirements for such operations will sometimes make the presses capable of doing such operations. FEM simulation can be a reliable tool in predicting the amount of tonnage required for the metal stamping operation. An attempt is taken in this study to analyse the behaviour of the hole piercing operation in an automobile chain part using DEFORM 3D software. The main focus is on the prediction of tonnage requirement with different shear methods on the piercing. Simulations were conducted with flat, single sheared, double sheared, reverse double sheared, convex sheared and concave sheared punches and analyzed for variations in the press load. The phenomena of piercing are also observed through the simulation based on AISI 1060 steel component used for automobile chain as inner plate. Simulation results showed that the shear angles provided on piercing punches will reduce the punch load significantly.

The paper presents a new method for forming a hollow shaft with a triangular rosette-shaped flange on its end. The part being investigated is used as a propeller shaft in helicopters. The product must be monolithic, therefore it cannot be produced by methods which consist in joining a flange with a tube. Up till now, such shafts have been produced by machining from solid barstock, the process which generates material losses exceeding 90%. The application of the proposed flanging method results in a significant reduction in both material and labour consumption, which leads to lower production costs. Due to beneficial texture of the shaft flange, shafts produced by this method exhibit better strength properties than shafts produced by machining. The paper presents the results of a numerical analysis of the flanging process, performed using DEFORM-3D software. Also, experimental tests were conducted using a three-slide forging press. Theoretical and experimental results obtained confirm the effectiveness of the new method for forming this part.

A blade with a damper platform, with excellent anti-vibration characteristic and high efficiency, has become one of the most important types of blades being developed in the aeronautical engines. During the precision forging process of this blade, the friction between dies and workpiece has important effects on metal flow, deformation defects, load and energy etc. So researching the effects of friction conditions on the forging process of blade with a damper platform has been a crucial problem urgent to be resolved. In this paper, the precision forging process of titanium alloy blade with a damper platform under different friction conditions has been simulated and analyzed based on the DEFORM-3D software platform. The obtained results reveal the influence laws of friction on temperature field and load-stroke curves, and provide a significant basis for determining technological parameters of the blade forging process.

Abstract Microscale holes were punched at cryogenic conditions in polycaprolactone (PCL) membranes to create synthetic three-dimensional (3D) tissue scaffolds through multilayer stacking of two-dimensional (2D) porous membranes. Punching forces were experimentally measured, and finite element modeling of the punching process was validated by comparing punching force results. Holes of nominal diameter of 200 μm were punched in PCL films of two different thicknesses: 40 μm and 70 μm. Die clearances used for holes in 40 μm thick films were 15.0%, 30.0%, and 45.0%. Die clearances used for holes in 70 μm films were 8.6%, 17.1%, and 25.7%. All holes were punched while the PCL film was in thermal equilibrium with a bath of boiling liquid nitrogen. Punching forces were analyzed to study the effect of die clearance and film thickness. A 3D finite element simulation of the punching process was done using deform 3d software. Cryogenic material properties of PCL used in the simulation were determined experimentally. It was concluded that finite element simulation for the cryogenic micropunching process can be used to predict peak punching forces with reasonable accuracy, which is a key factor to be considered while designing the punching dies. The finite element simulations did not predict an optimal die clearance to minimize peak punching force. However, the measured peak punching forces for 70 μm thick film seem to favor the smallest die clearance to minimize peak punching force.

The dynamic recrystallization (DRX) behavior of 47Zr-45Ti-5Al-3V alloy was studied by using the experiment and numerical simulation method based on DEFORM-3D software and cellular automata (CA) over a range of deformation temperatures (850 to 1050 °C) and strain rates (10−3 to 100 s−1). The results reveal that the DRX behavior of 47Zr-45Ti-5Al-3V alloy strongly depends on hot-working parameters. With rising deformation temperature (T) and decreasing strain rate (ε˙), the grain size (dDRX) and volume fraction (XDRX) of DRX dramatically boost. The kinetics models of the dDRX and XDRX of DRX grains were established. According to the developed kinetics models for DRX of 47Zr-45Ti-5Al-3V alloy, the distributions of the dDRX and XDRX for DRX grains were predicted by DEFORM-3D. DRX microstructure evolution is simulated by CA. The correlation of the kinetics model is verified by comparing the dDRX and XDRX between the experimental and finite element simulation (FEM) results. The nucleation and growth of dynamic recrystallization grains in 47Zr-45Ti-5Al-3V alloy during hot-working can be simulated accurately by CA simulation, comparing with FEM.
