INTRODUCTION
  • Forging is process of plastically deforming metal
    or alloy to a specific shape by a compressive
    force exerted at elevated temperature by some
    external agency like hammer, press, rolls, dies
    or by an upsetting machine.
  • Bolts, nuts, nails, cams, crank shafts,
    connecting rods, axles etc. are produced by
    forging.

CLASSIFICATION OF FORGING
  • On the basis of process
  • Open die Forging
  • Closed die Forging
  • On the basis of equipment
  • Drop Forging
  • Power (Hammer press) Forging
  • Hand Forging
  • Machine Forging

5
OPEN DIE FORGING
  • This process also known as smiths die forging or
    flat die forging.
  • The operation is carried out between two flat
    dies of very simple shape generally b/w the
    bottom surface of hammer top surface of anvil..
  • The workpiece reduces their height/plastically
    deform by compressing it.
  • The process is used for mostly large objects or
    when the number of parts produced is small to
    perform the work-piece for closed-die forging.
  • Tooling is simple, inexpensive and allows the
    production of a large variety of shapes.

6
CLOSED DIE FORGING
  • This process is also called impression die
    forging.
  • In this metal is deformed under high pressure
    between two dies (called tooling) or in a closed
    cavity that contain a profile of the desired
    part.
  • Closed die forging are commonly use where mass
    production of identical more complex shapes of
    greater accuracy are required.
  • The process provide precision forging with close
    dimensional tolerance.
  • Normally used for smaller components.
  • Closed dies are expensive.

7
DROP FORGING
  • It is also called as stamping. It consists of
    special type of hammer known as drop hammer or
    drop stamp.
  • Perfectly made steel dies are used for forging.
  • The top part of the die is raised by mechanical
    links to a certain height.
  • The heated metal placed accurately in the bottom
    part of the die.
  • The top part of the die is then allowed to fall
    suddenly.
  • This gives a high blow and completes the
    workpiece in a single operation.

8
HAMMER FORGING
  • Machine which is work by blow or impact to
    perform forging process is known as hammer
    forging.
  • Power hammer provides greater capacity, in which
    the ram is accelerated on the down stroke by
    steam or air pressure in addition to gravity.
  • Steam or air pressure is also used to raise the
    ram on the upstroke.
  • The upper die and ram are raised by friction
    rolls gripping the board.
  • After releasing the board, the ram falls under
    gravity to produce the blow energy.
  • The hammer can strike between 60-150 blows per
    minute depending on size and capacity.

PRESS FORGING
  • Machine which is work on pressure to perform
    forging process is known as press forging.
  • The material gets uniformly deform throughout its
    entire depth.

  • The upper die and
  • Hydraulic presses are load-restricted machines in
    which hydraulic pressure moves a piston in a
    cylinder.
  • The full press load is available at any point
    during the full stroke of the ram.
  • Due to slow speed, contact time is longer at the
    die-metal interface, which causes problems such a
    heat lost from work-piece


10
  • Crank press translates rotary motion into
    reciprocating linear motion of the press slide.
  • The ram stroke is shorter than in a hammer or
    hydraulic press.
  • The blow press is more like squeeze than like the
    impact of the hammer, therefore, dies can be less
    massive and die life is longer than with a
    hammer.

MECHANICAL PRESS
11
MACHINE FORGING
  • In machine forging the material is only upset to
    get the desire shape.
  • The die consists of two parts, one called the
    stationary gripper die which is fixed to the
    machine frame and the other movable gripper die
    which moves along with the die slide of the up
    setter. The stock is held then between these two
    gripper dies.
  • It is used for making gears, blanks, shafts,
    excels, and similar parts.

12
FORGING TOOLS
  • The main hand forging tools are as under.
  • TONGS
  • Tongs are used mainly for holding work
  • of many section.
  • FLATTER
  • Flatter is used to give smoothness
  • accuracy to articles which have already
  • been shaped by fullers and swages.
  • SWAGE
  • Swage is used to reduce/finish to round,
  • square/hexagonal form. It consists of
  • two parts-The top part having a handle.
  • The bottom part having a square shank.

13
  • ANVIL
  • Anvil is used for supporting hot job while
    hammering is done for shaping it into various
    shapes. It is made of cast steel.
  • SWAGE BLOCK
  • It is used for holding hot bars during
    bending, support for punching holes in a job
    various holes.
  • FULLERS
  • Fullers are used for necking down/to form
    depressions.

FORGING TOOLS
  • HAND HAMMER
  • SLEDGE HAMMER
  • PUNCH
  • CHISELS

15
FORGING OPERATIONS
  • UPSETTING
  • It is the operation by which the
    thickness/cross-sectional area of the work piece
    is increased at the expense of its length.
  • DRAWING DOWN
  • It is the operation by which the
    thickness/cross-sectional area of the work piece
    is reduced by increasing length.
  • SETTING DOWN
  • It is the local thinning operation performed
    by the set hammer.


16
  • BENDING
  • It is the operation by which the bend may be
    either curve/sharp corner can be produced.
    Bending can be done using beak of anvil.
  • PUNCHING
  • It is the process of making holes in the work
    piece using punch hammer.
  • WELDING
  • It is the process of joining two surfaces of
    metal under pressure after they are heated to the
    welding temperature.
  • CUTTING
  • It is a form of chiseling where a long piece
    of stock is cut into several pieces of required
    length.

17
INTRODUCTION TO PRESS WORKING
  •  Press working is a chip-less manufacturing
    process by which various components are made from
    sheet metals. It involves the working of a sheet
    between two die. In press working, the upper die
    is called a punch. This process is also termed as
    cold stamping.
  • The machine used for press working is called a
    Press. Press is a machine in which there are two
    or more slides, which move relatively to compress
    the material in the desired shape.

18
PRESS
  • The main features of a press are
  • A frame which support a ram or a slide and a
  • bed, a source of mechanism for operating the
  • ram in line with and normal to the bed.
  • The ram is equipped with suitable
  • punch and a die block is attached to
  • the bed.
  • A stamping is produced by the downward
  • stroke of the ram when the punch moves
  • towards and into the die block.
  •   The punch and die block assembly is
  • generally termed as a die set or simple as
  • the die

19
CLASSIFICATION OF PRESS
  • Different types of presses are classified based
    on
  • Source of power
  • Mechanical, Electrical, Hydraulic, Pneumatic
    etcetera
  • Number of RAM
  • Single, Double, Multiple.
  • Method of transmitting power to RAM
  • Crank-shaft, Eccentric, Cam type or rack and
    Pinion type.
  • Design of frame
  • Solid frame, C Frame, Movable frame, Tie rod
    etcetera.
  • They are also classified based on the purpose
    and end usage.

PRESS WORKING OPERATIONS
  • The sheet metal operations done a press may be
    grouped into two categories.
  • Cutting operations
  • Forming operations
  • In cutting operations the work piece is stressed
    by its ultimate strength. The stresses caused in
    the metal the applied forces will be shear
    stresses. The cutting operations include
  • Blanking        (b) Punching         (c)
    Notching (d) Perforating       
  • (e) Trimming       (f) Shaving (g)
    Slitting              (h) Lancing
  • In forming operations , the stresses are below
    the ultimate strength of the metal .There is no
    cutting of the metal but only the contour of the
    work piece is changed to get the desired product.
    The forming operations include
  • Bending              (b) Drawing       (c)
    Squeezing

CUTTING OPERATIONS
  • Blanking
  • Blanking is an operation in which the blank
    obtained is the desired product, the rest
  • portion is discarded.
  • Punching or Piercing
  • Punching is an operation in which the rest
    portion obtained is the desired product,
  • the hole obtained is discarded.
  • Notching
  • This is cutting operation by which metal pieces
    are cut from the edge of the sheet ,
  • strip or blank.


23
  • Perforating
  • This is a process by which multiple holes are
    very small and close together are cut in
  • a flat sheet metal.
  • Trimming
  • This operation consists of cutting unwanted
    excess of material from the periphery
  • of a previously formed component.
  • Shaving
  • The edge of a blanked part are generally rough,
    uneven and un square. Accurate
  • dimensions of the part are obtained by removing
    a thin strip of metal along the
  • edges.
  • Slitting
  • It refers to the operation of making incomplete
    holes in a work piece.
  • Lancing
  • This is a cutting operation in which a hole is
    partially cut and then one side is bent
  • down to form a sort of tab. Since no metal is
    actually removed and there will be no
  • scrap.

24
FORMING OPERATIONS
  • Bending
  • In this operation the material in the form of
    flat sheet or strip is uniformly
  • strained around a linear axis which lies in
    the neutral plane and perpendicular its
  • the length wise direction of the sheet or
    metal.
  • Drawing
  • This is a process of forming a flat work piece
    into a hollow shape by means of a
  • punch which cause the blank into a die cavity.
  • Squeezing
  • Under the operation, the metal is caused to
    flow to all portions of a die cavity
  • under the action of compressive forces.
