5. Spike Forging - Transfer from Furnace to Dies
5.1. Introduction
In this and the next three labs, a hot spike forging will be modeled. Since the process is
hot, the most accurate simulation will model not only the forging operation but also any
heat transfer operations that occur. The entire process will be divided as follows:
- This lab will model a 10 second transfer of the billet from the furnace to the
dies. This is solely a heat transfer simulation.
- Lab 6 will model the 2 second dwell period of the billet resting on the bottom
die prior to forging. This is also a heat transfer simulation.
- Lab 7 will model the first blow of a two blow forging process.
- Lab 8 will do a die change and model the second blow of the forging process.
Since the billet and dies are axisymmetric, the process could be modeled in 2D.
However, in order to further explore symmetry and other important 3D concepts, the
process will be modeled in 3D using 1/4 symmetry for the billet and the dies.
