Abstract: Upsetting of cylinder by flat dies is one of the elementary bulk metal forming operation. But, upsetting of cylinder can also be performed by the dies different than flat, which influences the stress-strain state and material formability. This paper describes the formability analysis at cold upsetting of cylinder and hollow cylinder by different plates (flat plates, hollow plates and hollow plates whit concentric channels). The aim of this investigation is determination of influences of die and workpiece geometry on stress-strain state and material formability. The obtained results are integrated in formability limit diagram, which represents relationship between limit strain (φe1) and stress indicator (ß). Experimental investigations have been performed on steel specimens C4146 (EN: 100Cr6). The determined diagram is a base for metal forming technology design, as it enables to predict damages of material structure during plastic deformation.
