Investigation of filling the forging dies and making the flow analysis using finite element method.

Considering the competition in the markets and the decreasing natural sources in today's improving technological world, it is essential to make the production in the most possible efficient way. Through the perspective of forging technology, the goal is to define the steps of the forging process that will result in a flawless filling of the die, by using an optimum amount of material and with minimum energy. Consequently, a very big energy and material saving can be achieved in total as a result of mass productions.The present study is focused on the effects on the filling of the forging dies during the forging process. To investigate these effects, the method of finite elements has been applied and the commercial program of MSC company called Super form has been used.In the study, firstly different methods of forging has been mentioned continued by the introduction of discrete types of forging machines. The third section is reserved for the explanation of commercial program used. After that, the factors that effect the filling of the die cavity has been investigated and in the relevant parts of the section the previous studies has been cited. In the analysis section, the analysis has been made for the filling of the dies of the sample pieces by using the axisymmetric methodKey words: forging technology, die filling, finite elements.
