Numerical modelling of hot forming processes
by Miklos Tisza, Zsolt Lukacs, Gaszton Gal
International Journal of Microstructure and Materials Properties (IJMMP), Vol. 3, No. 1, 2008

Abstract: In this paper, first, the state of the art of numerical modelling in hot forming processes will be overviewed. Then the paper briefly reviews the theoretical background of metal forming simulation, including the basic constitutive equations, and the information flow in process modelling. The important process variables and the main characteristics of various hot forming processes will also be discussed. Finally, some industrial examples will be shown. An integrated approach to forging and heat treatment will also be illustrated.
