Abstract

Analysis programs based on finite elements have great importance in verifying the design and production processes. In the automotive industry, many parts are produced by hot forging process. The die designs of the parts to be produced by hot forging process are verified by finite element analysis programs. In this study, the importance of pre-forming in hot forging process is investigated by using finite element method and the necessity of pre-forming is indicated by the analysis. In the analysis phase of the study, hot forging finite element analysis was performed for 4 different cases of the torque rod housing that one of the suspension parts of heavy commercial vehicles part using FORGE NxT program. In addition, experimental studies were carried out for these cases and the results obtained were compared with the analysis results. The results obtained as a result of the analysis and experimental study were found to be consistent with each other. It has been observed that pre-forming is very important and necessary in the hot forging process in order to increase die life and to reduce die runaway, crease and non-filling problems.
