In industry, a wide variety of parts are produced by press forging. Press forging generally requires sequential forming of workpieces through a set of preforming stages before the final stage. The design of preform dies affects die and product cost and quality. To ensure complete filling of the die at the final stage, companies in the forging industry commonly add extra material to the original workpiece volume and accordingly design the perform dies by the help of their experience. However, this method reflects extra costs in the form of wasted material as well as the need of early revision of the dies due to rapid die wear. In this study, press forgings, which require dies with non-planar parting surfaces have been examined. A method for the design of preform dies for this kind of complex shaped parts is proposed to reduce material wastage and cost. The press forging process for industrial parts is analyzed by using a commercially available finite volume analysis software for an application in a forging company. The appropriate preform design has been realized for a particular forging using the proposed method. The preform die has been manufactured and put into the production line in the company. As a result of this study, considerable amount of reduction in the usage of material has been achieved with a reasonable number of forging operations.

Analysis of forging for three different alloy steels Civelekoğlu, Barış; Darendeliler, Haluk; Gökler, Mustafa İlhan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2003) Forging is a manufacturing process which is preferred among the others in that, the final product shows more enhanced properties. The properties of the final product are directly related with the material used in the forging process. Main parameters such as forging temperature, number of stages, preform design, dimensions of the billet, etc. may be affected by the forging material. Alloys are one of the main areas of interest in the forging industry. The use of alloy steels may bring superior properties, es...
Analysis of tapered preforms in cold upsetting Gökler, Mustafa İlhan; Darendeliler, Haluk (1999-01-01) Upset forging is usually carried out with a sequence of stages and the tapered preforms are commonly used. The preforms should be free from flash formation and buckling injuries. :In this paper, the results that depend on elastic-plastic finite element analysis of taper upset forging are given. The buckling analysis was realized by using the Modified Riks method. For a given upset ratio which is the ratio of unsupported length to diameter of the initial billet, reduction in the height of the billet and the ...
Finite element analysis of shearing processes Isbir, S.; Darendeliler, Haluk; Gökler, Mustafa İlhan (null; 2006-12-01) Shearing of sheet metal is extensively used in manufacturing industry. It is a highly non-linear process and involves complex mechanisms such as crack initiation and propagation, and deliberate fracture of the material for obtaining the desired geometry. Finite element method can be used for the design of shearing process. However, most of the general purpose commercial finite element analysis programs do not provide ready-to-use facilities to simulate shearing. In this paper, finite element simulation of s...
USAGE OF FUZZY MULTI CRITERIA DECISION MAKING METHODS IN SELECTION OF NONTRADITIONAL MANUFACTURING METHODS Kul, Yavuz; Seker, Alper; YURDAKUL, MUSTAFA (2014-01-01) New manufacturing technologies such as nontraditional manufacturing methods (NMM) were needed recently because of new machining requirements for parts with complex geometries, very narrow machining area and high strength materials and also for very small and delicate parts. Since NMM are diverse and their numbers are increasing with the development of new approaches, selecting the most appropriate one among many NMM requires systematic models which incorporate multi-criteria decision making approaches. In t...
Design of new die holder system for reducing die exchange time on 1000 ton hot forging press Siddique, Muhammad Ahmad; Gökler, Mustafa İlhan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2014) In the forging industry, one of the main challenges is the reduction of setup change time which is non-productive time on the forging press. Long non-productive time reduces efficiency and affects profitability of the forging companies. In this thesis study, firstly setup change activities on the 1000 ton forging press of a forging company are observed and analyzed. With the help of these observations, it is seen that the new die holders with cassette holders and the new cassettes are required to reduce the...
