FORGING
Forging is the term for shaping metal by using localized compressive forces.
Cold forging is done at room temperatures or near room temperature. Hot forging
is done at high temperature, which makes metal easier to shape and less likely to
fracture. Warm forging is done at intermediate temperature between room
temperature and hot forging temperatures. Forged parts can range in weight from
less than one kilogram to 170 metric tons. Forged parts usually require further
processing to achieve a finished part.
History: Forging is one of the oldest known metalworking processes. It was
done historically by a smith using a hammer and an anvil, and though the use of
water power in the production and working of iron date to the 12th century,
the hammer and anvil are not obsolete. The smithy has evolved over centuries to
the forge shop with engineered processes, production equipment, tooling, raw
materials and products to meet the demands of modern industry. In modern times
industrial forging is done either with presses or with hammers powered by
compressed air, electricity, hydraulics or steam. These hammers are large, having
reciprocating weights in thousands of pounds. Smaller power hammers, 500
pounds or less reciprocating weight, and hydraulic presses are common in art
smithies as well. Steam hammers are becoming obsolete.
Advantages and disadvantages: Forging results in metal that is stronger than
cast or machined metal parts. This stems from the grain flow caused through
forging. As the metal is pounded the grains deform to follow the shape of the part,
thus the grains are unbroken throughout the part. Some modern parts take
advantage of this for a high strength-to-weight ratio.
Many metals are forged cold, but iron and its alloys are almost always forged
hot. This is for two reasons: first, if work hardening were allowed to progress, hard
materials such as iron and steel would become extremely difficult to work with;
secondly, steel can be strengthened by other means than cold working, thus it is
more economical to hot forge and then heat treat. Alloys that are amenable to
precipitation hardening, such as most alloys of aluminum and titanium, can also be
hot forged, then hardened. Other materials must be strengthened by the forging
process itself.
Open and closed die operations can be used in forging. In open-die forging dies
are either flat or rounded. Large forgings can be formed by successive applications
of force on different parts of the material. Hydraulic presses and forging machines
are both employed in closed die forging. In closed-die forging the metal is trapped
in recessed impressions, which are machined into the top and bottoms dies. As
the dies press together, the material is forced to fill the impressions. Flash, or
excess metal, is squeezed out between the dies. Closed-die forging can produce
parts with more complex shapes than open-die forging. The final shape and
the improvement of metallurgical properties are dependent on the skill of
the operator. Closer dimensional tolerances can be held with closed die forgings
and the operator requires less skills.
Forging is divided into three main methods: hammer, press, and rolled types.
Hammer Forging (Flat Die) is a preferred method for individual forgings.
The shaping of metal, or other material, occurs by an instantaneous application of
pressure to relatively small area. A hammer or a ram, delivering intermittent blows
to the section to be forged, applies this pressure. A hammer is dropped from its
maximum height, usually raised by steam or air pressure. Hammer forging can
produce a wide variety of shapes and sizes. The disadvantage of this process is that
finish machining is often required, as close dimensional tolerances cannot
be obtained.
Press Forging is similar to kneading, where slow continuous pressure is
applied to the area to be forged. The pressure will extend deep into the material and
can be completed either cold or hot. Press forging is more economical than hammer
forging (except when dealing with low production numbers), and closer tolerances
can be obtained. A greater proportion of the work done is transmitted to
the workpiece, differing from that of the hammering operation, where much of
the work is absorbed by the machine and foundation. This method can also be used
to produce larger forgings, as there is no limitation in the size of machine.
In roll forging a bar stock, round or flat, is placed between die rollers, which
reduces the cross-section and increases the length.

1. What is forging? 2. What types of forging do you know? 3. What are the
advantages and disadvantages of forging? 4. How is hammer forging done? 5. In
what way does hammer forging differ from press forging? 6. What types of presses

and closed die operations?

FORGING EQUIPMENT
The type of machinery to be used depends on the shape, size, material, and
the number of pieces to be made. Heavy forgings are produced in different types of
presses and lighter ones by hammers.
Conventional drop forging hammers incorporate a weighted ram that, when it
moves vertically in a downward stroke, exerts a striking force against a stationary
component of the anvil near the base of the hammer. Forging dies being fastened to
the weighted ram and the anvil assembly, and a workpiece being placed between
them, the striking force is imposed on the workpiece, causing it to deform
plastically with each successive blow, thus providing a forged configuration.
Power drop hammers are equipped at the top with a cylinder, a piston and a
piston rod that is attached to the ram and that is powered by steam or compressed
air. The piston is used to raise the ram and movable die to the desired height and to
add force to the force of gravity on the downstroke. These hammers range in rated
size from 500 to 35,000 lb. In general, they are used to produce medium-size to
large open-die and close3d-die forgings. Gravity drop hammers derive their
downward force entirely from the force of gravity, mechanical means raising the
ram for the succeeding stroke or blow. Gravity drop hammers typically have a
falling weight, or rated size, of 400 to 10,000 lb. and are used in the production of
smaller and lighter open-die or closed-die forgings.
Conventional presses incorporate a ram that moves in a vertical direction to
exert a squeezing action on the work metal. Such presses develop far less noise and
vibration than hammers. Depending on their actuation, forging presses are
classified as mechanical or hydraulic. Maximum capacities, exceeding those of the
largest steam hammers, are developed by hydraulic presses. In general, presses can
produce all of the types of forgings produced by hammers.
Mechanical presses are driven by a motor and controlled by an air clutch; they
have a full eccentric type of drive shaft that imparts a constant stroke to a vertically
operating ram. Because of the short stroke, mechanical presses are best suited for
low-profile forgings. Presses are rated on the maximum force they will exert at 3/8
or ¼ in. from the bottom dead centre. Capacities typically range from about 300 to
8000 tons. In smaller sizes (50 to 250 tons) they are widely used for trimming
forgings produced on other types of equipment. As for hydraulic presses they
produce high tolerance forgings. Capacities of hydraulic presses are known to
range from 300 to 50000 tons.

VI. Translate the following sentences paying a special attention to the word
“force”.
1. In pneumatic hammers the rams fall not only under their own weight but are
also forced to fall by the action of compressed air above the piston.
2. The force of the blow is controlled by a handle which adjusts the opening of the
valve through a system of levers.
3. During the upward stroke the piston of the working cylinder compresses the air
in the upper part of the cylinder and forces it through the upper channel into the
working cylinder.
VII. Read and translate the text without a dictionary.
Counterblow hammers develop striking by the movement of two rams that
approach simultaneously from opposite directions and meet at a midway point. The
rams are capable of striking from 100 to 200 blows per minute; they develop
combined velocities equivalent to about 1.5 times the normal hammer velocities.
Capacities of six large power drop and counterblow hammers, ranging in rated size
from 25,000 lb. to 125,000 mkg, are related to the production of blocker-type
forgings in titanium alloys and low-alloy steel.

FORGING HAMMERS
Forging hammers apply force by the impact of a large ram. This may be a drop
hammer, or weight falling under them force of gravity, or it may be a power
hammer, driven by steam or compressed air. Two types of power hammers are: the
smith forging hammer and the drop hammer. The largest hammers can provide a
total force as high as 40,000 tons.
For increasing general efficiency and reducing the cost of forgings worked on a
double action air hammer, an electro-hydraulic hammer has been developed for
many years. There are several series of electro-hydraulic hammers which can be
found at the forging equipment market.
However as compared with an air hammer a hydraulic drive system is easier out
of order and it is usually quite difficult to find out the problems quickly and
correctly due to its complicated structure. It means that the reliability of an electro-
hydraulic hammer is not as well as an air hammer and people who have even more
knowledge and experiences should be employed to keep the hammer working
normally.
A crank hammer is a kind of a new type forging machine, its principle and
construction being totally different from other hammers, and its efficiency and
reliability can be expected to be higher than those of electro-hydraulic hammers.
From the electric motor to the link-rod the structure of crank hammers is quite
similar to a mechanical press. When the link-rod is connected with the piston,
the chamber inside the tup is separated by the piston into upper and lower spaces;
compressed air is filled into the lower space and the upper space contains liquid.
By flexible pipes the lower space is directly linked to the compression air container
while the upper space is joined to the low pressure vessel through the valve.
When the crank rotates the tup and the piston rise together rigidly because
the valve is closed and the oil confined inside the upper space cannot be squeezed.
After the crank passes through its top dead-centre and then arrives at a definite
position, one should hold down the handle. The valve opens and the tup is
simultaneously accelerated downward by its weight and the expanding energy of
the air inside the lower space until strike occurs. The oil of the upper space is
charged into the low pressure vessel.
As soon as strike happens the handle is required to be held up again. Although
the tup now stays at the anvil the piston will keep moving towards its bottom dead-
centre. The air inside the lower space is compressed to the initial pressure and
the oil flows back to the upper space from the vessel automatically.

MARKET PENETRATION BY HYDRAULIC PRESSES
In the not so distant past hydraulic presses were looked upon with some degree
of suspicion due to fears of their leakage, lack of speed, being incapable of
blanking operations, maintenance problems as well as the noise made by hydraulic
power packs. Therefore a tendency was to use them for deep drawing and
assembly operations. And the training that tool and die makers and manufacturing
engineers received, the terms used, the approach to tooling, feeding and part
handling were almost always oriented towards mechanical presses. This trend,
however, is now changing. And as a result of design improvements major
developments are taking place which have already led to a new type of fast-acting
presses which are arousing considerable interest in what usually was a
predominantly mechanical press field.
Historically a hydraulic press is one of the oldest of the basic machine tools. As
a machine it is probably as old as a bicycle. In recent years hydraulic presses have
been attracting greater attention. Automotive manufacturers stamp fuel pump
diaphragms, assemble shock absorbers and form disc brakes. Aircraft companies
form tough titanium housings and forge turbine blades. Not only engineers are
interested in hydraulic press market place – our knowledge extends to the physicist
with his varieties of valves, the biologist, the dentist and even the makers of food
products. These and hundreds of other jobs are being done today in industry by
hydraulic presses.
What is a hydraulic press? First and foremost it is a press. Although the term
hydraulic press covers a very wide range of types of presses they all have in
common the application of force to accomplish work through the controlled
containment of fluids. One hundred years or so ago the fluid used to be water –
hydraulic presses were all water presses. With the development of the petroleum
industry oil was found to be a superior fluid since it lubricated the moving parts of
the machine while at the same time providing an excellent medium for transferring
pressure. Now one hundred years later because of the oil crisis the industry is on a
trend to the use of water, 95% water and 5% soluble oil.
Generally a hydraulic press includes a frame, a bed, one or more hydraulic
cylinders, a guide or a slide mechanism to control the ram, a control system and a
power source. The construction of a hydraulic press and its characteristics will vary
depending upon the intended use. Hydraulic presses are built for rubber molding,
forging, various types of metalworking operations, maintenance work, auto repairs
and glassware manufactures.
With the providing of the latest kind of fast-acting presses and a successful
outcome of further developments hydraulic presses have made significant in-roads
into the traditional market for single-acting mechanical presses. The widespread
introduction of hydraulic presses is seen in the double and triple-action press field
for sheet-metal pressing, where the great advantage over mechanical presses is the
controllability offered by hydraulic power.

ADVANTAGES OF HYDRAULIC PRESSES
Full power stroke – the full power of a hydraulic press can be delivered at any
point in the stroke, not only at the very bottom as the case with mechanical presses.
One of the advantages is that no allowance should be made for reduced tonnage at
the top of the stroke. In drawing operations, for example, full power of the press is
available at the top of the stroke and it is unnecessary to buy a 200 ton press to get
100 tons throughout the stroke. Other advantages are faster setups and no time
consuming job of adjusting the screw on the slide to accommodate different dies.
Built-in overload protection – a 100 ton hydraulic press will exert only 100 ton
pressure (less, if set for less) no matter what mistakes are made in set-up. It is
unnecessary to worry about overloading or breaking the press or smashing a die.
When a hydraulic press reaches its pre-set pressure, no further pressure is added
since the relief valve opens at that limit and the danger of overload is eliminated.
Much lower original cost and operating costs – hydraulic presses are relatively
simple and there is a significant cost advantage over mechanical presses in
comparable sizes. The number of moving parts is few and these are fully lubricated
in a flow of pressurized oil. Breakage when it occurs is usually minor, not, for
example, like a broken crankshaft. Solenoid coils and occasionally a valve are
inexpensive and they are easily replaced without taken the machine apart. This
means more operating time and lower maintenance costs.
Larger capacity at lower cost – it is easier and less expensive to buy certain kinds
of capacity in hydraulic presses. Stroke length of 12, 18 and 24 in. are common,
extra stroke is easy to provide. In addition, larger table areas and small presses
with big bed areas can be provided. Large 200 ton presses with relatively small
beds are available; tonnage of the press does not dictate what the bed size will be.
More control flexibility – hydraulic press power is always under control. The ram
force, the direction, the speed, the release of force, the duration of press dwell, all
can be adjusted to fit a particular job. Jobs with light dies can be done with the
pressure turned down. The ram can be made to approach the work rapidly, then
shifted to a slower speed before contacting the work. Tool life is just prolonged.
Timers, feeders, heaters, coolers and a variety of auxiliary accessories can be
switched on in the circuit to fit the job. Hydraulic presses can do far more than just
go up and down, up and down.
Greater versatility – a single hydraulic press can do a wide variety of jobs within
its tonnage range, e.g. forming, blanking, bending, piercing, punching,
straightening, powered metal forming, abrasive wheel forming, plastic and rubber
molding.
Quiet – fewer moving parts and the elimination of a flywheel reduce the overall
noise level of hydraulic presses compared to mechanical presses. Properly sized
and properly mounted pumping units meet the current standards for noise, even
with the pump under full pressure. Noise levels can be controlled due to the control
of each phase of the ram movement.
More compact – a typical 20 ton hydraulic press is 8ft high, 6ft deep and 2ft wide.
A 200 ton press is only 10ft high, 9ft deep and a little over 3ft wide. At 10 times
the capacity a 200 ton press only takes up 50% more floor space.
Lower tool costs – the built-in overload protection applies to the tools also. The
pressure of the press can be regulated to suit the job and the lack of impact, shock
and vibration promotes longer tool life.
Safety – no manufacturer will (or should) claim that hydraulic presses are safer
than mechanical presses. Both types of machines are designed and built to be safe
if the controls and safety features built in are used properly. Improperly used all
machines are potentially dangerous, but the factor of control of the ram movement
makes hydraulic presses easy to make safe. The interlocking of guards as well as
other safety devices is relatively easy because of the nature of hydraulic press
control system.

A NEW 2-COLUMN CUSTOM-BUILT OPEN-DIE HYDRAULIC PRESS
The two-column unit, rated at 5,500 tons, combined with the use of simulation
software, enables Scot Forge to produce larger open-die forgings in close-to-net
shapes, from of a wider variety of ferrous and nonferrous alloys.
For years, Scot Forge has been a “one-stop shop” for small through large open-
die forgings. Now, with the addition of a two-column, custom-built open-die
hydraulic press the company can produce carbon and alloy forgings in more
diverse part configurations, in sizes up to 80,000 lb. New types of products that
can be produced include parts with hub projections, flanges, and webbing.
Using this new press, Scot Forge can also produce heavier and more intricate
forgings than it could previously, from materials with higher deformation
properties, such as stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, and nickel. In addition,
reverse extrusion processes available with the new unit make it possible to produce
hollow parts with thinner walls and closed-end cylinders.
Equipped with an 11,000-hp hydraulic system, the new press is rated at 5,500
tons. Its forging ram weighs 200, 000 lb, and it can cycle at more than 200 strokes
per minute. A 10-bolster die train is provided for efficient tool changes. Aided by
new computer modeling software and the press’s large “forging window”, Scot
Forge has also increased its ability to forge close-to-net-shape parts, saving
customers material and machining costs. The new software provides accurate
forging simulations, resulting in optimal forging process plans and precise tool
design, while the large “forging window”, which measures 14.315 ft, allows large
tooling to be used.
The press was designed and built by the company. It joins six other open-die
presses, six hammers, and four ring mills, making it possible for Scot to offer
customers a wide range of part shapes, including bars, blanks, rings, hubs,
cylinders, hollows, torch cut/contoured parts, and spindles.
Scot Forge has recently acquired the Transvalor Forge simulation package. It
has proved that it can accurately simulate the forging process so that optimal near-
net-shape forging can be planned and tooling designed. The simulation approach
replaces the need to conduct shop-floor trials with new tooling.

A NEW TYPE OF OIL HYDRAULIC DRIVE HORIZONTAL UPSET
FORGING PRESS
The oil hydraulic drive horizontal upset forging press developed for making
forgings of T815 truck chassis behaves widely technical adaptability to small scale
production because of its structural design features which differ from those of
mechanical presses. If these forgings are produced on a mechanical press,
a standard press of 12.5 MN must be required. The determination of the press
depends upon the strokes and daylight needed, only the force of 4 MN required to
form the forgings.
As viewed from metalworking capacity and tool cost, it can be seen that presses
of hydraulic type are more feasible and economic for manufacturing special
forgings of automotive and tractor industries than presses of mechanical type,
especially the heavy truck chassis forgings.
A hydraulic upset forging press is composed of two units with different
functions. Each of them is basically a typical hydraulic press, but not a standard
one, from the structural style point of view. They are combined into the organic
whole by using the front cross-girder which behaves completely different actions
in each unit. One of the units, vertical type, is designed to grip the header blank
placed between the fixed and movable dies when they are closed. The other one,
horizontal type, is used for heading operations after the blank is gripped firmly.
The vertical unit principally includes a gripping cylinder, a slide block, used as
a movable die holder here, a fixed die holder and a pre-stressed frame. The frame
consists of upper and lower crossheads, a front cross-girder and four tension bolts.
In whole unit by joining crossheads with a cross-girder by tension bolts, the cross-
girder is used as two special square sleeves instead of inside nuts. There are
similarities between horizontal and vertical units in their construction.
The horizontal unit is mainly composed of a cylinder, a slide and a pre-stressed
framework. In this unit a slide, as a punch holder, is equipped with a header ram
and driven by upsetting cylinder assembly to squeeze the plastic metal with ram to
final shape. Only in this unit, is the front cross-girder used as a usual crosshead, no
longer special sleeves, as a conventional crosshead in horizontal frame.
The structure of the cross-girder must be so designed that the die cavity is
located at the appropriate distance behind the front surface of the cross-girder and
there is the smallest eccentric load on the gripping frame. For this reason
the problems of structure design and strength-stiffness analyses of a cross-girder
become complicated. Obviously, the front cross-girder is a very important part in
design and application. The design of the cross-girder supporting the upsetting
force acting on the surfaces of the front guide body with a uniformly distributed
load was well made. The actual front cross-girder used in the press is strong and
rigid enough, and has good whole service behaviour under loads.
Hydraulic cylinders are the same important parts as the cross-girder in
the press. As a general rule, the structural style and the overall dimensions of
the cylinder must be so determined that the press body be compact and, and
maintenance convenient. According to this principle, a removable bottom structure
is brought into practice.
Although this type of press is developed for a special purpose, it has widely
techno-economic adaptability to many kinds of similar forgings owing to its design
features summarized as follows: 1) the stroke and the daylight may be larger than
those of mechanical presses as well as the length of the stroke may be adjusted to
whatever is needed; 2) the pre-stressed frameworks without inside nuts
are employed so that the press have high strength and rigidity against eccentric
loads.
III. Find the Russian equivalents for the following: maintenance convenient, small
scale production, owing to, structural design feature, which behaves completely
different actions, movable die holder, instead of inside nuts, mainly consists of,
upsetting cylinder assembly, from structural style point, uniformly distributed load,
good whole service behaviour under loads, for this reason, as a general rule.

AUTOMATION IN THE PRESS SHOP{
Automation or mechanization is one of the methods to increase labour
productivity. Its basis is replacement of manual labour by mechanisms and
machines. There is partial and complex mechanization. Partial mechanization
does not involve complete elimination of manual labour. When mechanization
is complex, manual job is limited only to the operation of machine tools.
Automatic control is the control of machines or systems by means of special
devices which comprise a control system. The control system operates in
accordance with a predetermined program.
An automated line is the line of three or four individual open-front presses
linked together by a single independently driven unit that would transfer the
work from one press to another with intermediate stations and, where required,
turnover stations of reversing the presentation of the pressing.
Such an arrangement would have the following advantages: 1) low capital
investment if existing presses are suitable; 2) existing tooling can be used or
modified for use; 3) savings in labour; 4) toll setting is simple with easy access
to the front of presses; 5) transfer system does not require setting on tool
change, only clamper arms being re-set or replaced; 6) inter-stage storage and
movement are eliminated.
The transfer system is an independent unit driven by an electric motor
which, by system of cams, reciprocates a horizontal bar running inside the press
gap to the rear of the press tools. In addition to horizontal traverse, a vertical
movement to place components in location on tool and lift back after the
operation is provided. During the pressing operation the feed bar is at rest, the
sequence of operations being: horizontal feed of half total pitch to position
above the component to be fed; vertical down movement to pick and return
through starting position and further half-feed to the next tool with a vertical
movement to place in die and release, before return to starting position when
presses are given a signal to perform the pressing operation.
Methods of pick-up by clamper arm are either vacuum or magnetic and can
be quickly set to suit individual tool height. Idle stations compensate for feed-
height variations and also provide turn-over positions to invert components
where it is necessary. At the first station blanks are provided from a
synchronized magazine type blank feeder. All machines are electrically
interlocked with feeder and necessary safety devices to ensure full protection of
presses, tooling and components.

micro-inching mode – минимальный ход перемещения
grip fingers – захваты

UNMANNED PRESSING FACILITY
Fully automatic forging involves a completely automatic cycle from loading the
billets into a supply hopper to the automatic extraction of components from the
dies. In addition to savings in operator labour there are considerable gains to be
made by reducing the non-productive time of equipment by automating the actual
tool changing function. The current trend is towards smaller batch quantities
required at specific times to meet manufacturing schedules and hold inventory of
parts to the minimum. This entails more frequent tool change and greater
flexibility of manufacture.
Largely automatic and micro-processor synchronized die replacement is
commonly completed in three to six minutes, and with the addition of further
automation all dies and tooling could be changed completely in as little as 100sec.
The new press is programmed to automatic slide adjustment to achieve correct
shut height. Die clamping and unclamping are also automatic. An automatically
operated system for the slide adjustment mechanism returns the dies to a “home”
position for clamping and unclamping during die changeover. Conventional
presses usually have a micro-inching mode, but a drive mechanism is simply a
separate motor and the mode must be controlled manually.
Another feature is the configuration of the feed bar – an aluminum bar
associated with the tooling that has grip fingers to move the blanks from station to
station in the transfer sequence.
Some savings in material may be possible but the main cost reductions must be
in labour by reduction of setting times and production of more parts in a given
time.

gains.

Образец подготовки к пересказу на примере текста «Computer Aided
Simulation of Complex Three-Dimensional Extrusion ».
An advanced computer aided simulation technique is developed and used for
diagnosis and innovation of conventional extrusion processes of hollow as well as
solid products. It is also utilized for development of a new multi-billet complex
extrusion process through which plural billets are simultaneously extruded into
a unified composite product. Through a series of simulations three-dimensional
metal flows of work-pieces in various extrusion processes are characterized.
Effects of die geometries and other working conditions on various features of
extrusion pressure, dead zone formation, geometries of plastic zone, separation and
unification of flow of workpiece and geometry of extruded product are consistently
analyzed. The results are compared with experimental measurements and fairly
good agreement is found between them. It is concluded that the developed
simulation technique is highly useful and effective for establishment of advanced
extrusion technology for the future.
