Finite Volume Analysis of Forging Process of Axle Shaft Nut

AbstractIn this study the forging operations of axleshaft nut has been modeled. This nut is a partwhich is manufactured with the help of hotforging. The aim of this research is utilizingcomputers in designing forming process, andin particular, modeling of hot forging in thenut and to inquire the stresses appeared on themold. For this purpose Pro/Engineer softwarefor modeling and Super forge software foranalyzing the process have been used. The aimof this research is to correct the molds and thevolume of the raw materials so that we canproduce high qualified parts in spite of rawmaterial low volume and low pressure on themolds. The effect of coefficient of friction andtemperature on process was examined. Theresult show that the effective stress willincrease with rising coefficient of friction andwith increasing the temperature the press forcedecreases and effective plastic strain increases
