The study on forming helical tooth shaft processes in cross wedge rolling can contribute to the advantages of material-saving and efficient. Die tooth profile is an important process parameter of cross wedge rolling helical tooth shaft. Three kinds of forming process of die helical teeth were simulated by DEFORM-3D finite element analysis software to analyze three different die helical tooth. According to the tooth forming characteristics, the effects of three kinds of die tooth profile on forming of a polled piece were analyzed. When rolling a polled piece using the die with the same addendum width, it is convenient for die processing and the effect of polled piece forming is better; when using the die with the narrow front and gradually wider rear, the defects of uneven tooth bottom and larger pitch may happen. The rolling experiment was made by using the die with the same width at the tooth bottom. The results are in good agreement with the simulation. Therefore, we should use the die with unchanged addendum width, tooth height and the sidewall proportional increased when designing the die.

Based on the rigid-plastic deformation finite element method and the heat transfer theories, the forming process of cross wedge rolling was simulated with the finite element software DEFORM-3D. The temperature field of the rolled piece during the forming process was analyzed. The results show that the temperature gradient in the outer of the work-piece is sometimes very large and temperature near the contact deformation zone is the lowest while temperature near the center of the rolled-piece keeps relatively stable and even rises slightly. Research results provide a basis for further study on metal flow and accurate shaping of work-piece during cross wedge rolling.

This paper analyzes the forming process methods of fin used in CPU chip to emit heat. The whole process is blanking, the first forging forming, the second forging (sizing), and trimming. The chamfer design of CPU fin blank is simulated by finite element analysis. The optimized chamfer 1.6 mm is available. Semi-enclosed cold forging of progressive dies is put forward. The newly designed transfer unit is applied, which unifies the merit of high efficiency of the progressive dies and the high material-using ratio of the project die. Quick disassembly structure is designed and pins are used as quick disassembly pins by means of ball bearing bushing. The unique processing of the shearing scrap structure is adopted when designing the inverted trimming dies. Compared with the traditional die, the mechanization and electrization are realized to increase the production efficiency and get highly precise CPU fin.

Roller leveling is a forming process which used to minimize flatness imperfection and residual stresses by repeated forming process of a sheet metal. The determination of the machine settings must be very accurate and ask a precise mechanical study. In order to determine an algorithm which can predict the leveling quality according to the machine settings we start by a theoretical model of stress evolution during the process. The plastification ratio is deducted from this one and the values obtained by this approach are compared whit experimental values. The finite element analysis is performed, in second step in order to assure a good accuracy of the prediction algorithm. Theoretical study determines a minimum of the plastification ratio according to the machine settings. The finite element analysis gives more accurate results due to the consideration of different characteristics of the process, neglected by the theoretical model: cumulative effect of bending/unbending with stretching of the sheet during the passing between each couple of rolls, boundary conditions at the limit of the material deformed by two adjoining couples of rolls, friction force.

The analysising of strain is the key factors to understand the forming mechanism of cross wedge rolling asymmetric shaft. due to the extrusion of dies and other external force, its interior,interactions can cause the relative position between the various parts. In order to study the deformation of workpiece at different degrees, pulling in the finite element strain field analysis, the strain of the analysis at deformation process is also a necessary precondition for forming and stress distribution. In this papre,By using Deform3D platform, the forming process of the cross wedge rolling on parity wedge asymmetric shaft is simulated. It is also to be analyzed the distribution and variation of the amount of strain in the rolling process, it shows that a cross-sectional and longitudinal section about the deformation characteristics of the strain fields, the results can achieve production of cross wedge rolling and provide important theoretical foundation to promote further cross-wedge rolling.

This paper aims to study and detect the imperfects of the hollow fasteners with thin flange during cold forging process. In this study, the finite element analysis (FEA) based on 3-D DEFORMTM software to investigate the plastic deformation behavior of the hollow fasteners with thin flange. The simulation results showed that there is a folding phenomenon, which is occurring in the forming process. As a result, it revealed that with using FEA, the imperfects of forming hollow fasteners with the thin flange can be correctly predicted. From that, the occurrence of defects can be effectively prevented in the actual fabricating process. Future work will include an investigation into the optimization of the mold geometric parameters during cold pre-forming process for hollow fasteners with thin flange by comparing the simulative and experimental results.
