THE OPTIMIZATION OF THE HOT FORGING PROCESS OF AN EYE-END FOR HYDRAULIC CYLINDER IN THE QFORM SOFTWARE PACKAGE

Abstract

The research and optimization of the process of hot die forming of forgings for the manufacture of a hydraulic cylinder eyelet in the QForm software package have been carried out, in this work. The main optimization criteria were the minimum number of shaping stages, high-quality filling of the die working cavities, minimization of material consumption and shaping energy, with the aim of the possible implementation of the technology on the low-power drop hammer in one die. As a result of the simulation of shaping, the number and design of the profiling stages and the coincide die cavities of hammer were optimized, and the design of the die was developed.
