The service lives of dies in forging processes are to a large extent limited by wear, fatigue fracture and plastic deformation, etc. In hot forging processes, wear is the predominant factor in the operating lives of dies. In this study, the wear analysis of a closed die at the final stage of a hot forging process has been realized. The preform geometry of the part to be forged was measured by Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM), and the CAD model of the die and the worn die were provided by the particular forging company. The hot forging operation was carried out at a workpiece temperature of 1100°C and die temperature of 300°C for a batch of 678 on a 1600-ton mechanical press. The die and the workpiece materials were AISI L6 tool steel and DIN 1.4021, respectively. The simulation of forging process for the die and the workpiece was carried out by Finite Volume Method using MSC.SuperForge. The flow of the material in the die, die filling, contact pressure distribution, sliding velocities and temperature distribution of the die have been investigated. In a single stroke, the depth of wear was evaluated using Archard̕s wear equation with a constant wear coefficient of 1Æ10-12 Pa-1 as an initial value. The depth of wear on the die surface in every step has been evaluated using the Finite Volume simulation results and then the total depth of wear was determined. To be able to compare the wear analysis results with the experimental worn die, the surface measurement of the worn die has been done on CMM. By comparing the numerical results of the die wear analysis with the worn die measurement, the dimensional wear coefficient has been evaluated for different points of the die surface and finally a value of dimensional wear coefficient is suggested. As a result, the wear coefficient was evaluated as 6.5Æ10-13 Pa-1 and considered as a good approximation to obtain the wear depth

Vibration fatigue analysis of structures installed on air platforms Eldoğan, Yusuf; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2012) Although a component satisfies all operating static requirements, failures can still occur due to vibration induced fatigue. Vibration induced fatigue is a frequent phenomenon, in cases where the natural frequencies of the structures are excited by the loading. Hence, the methods which consider all dynamic characteristic of the structure should be used to obtain accurate fatigue life predictions. These methods in frequency domain are called vibration fatigue methods which give accurate, reliable and fast re...
Friction analysis in cold forging Cora, Ömer Necati; Akkök, Metin; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2004) Friction is one of the important parameters in metal forming processes since it affects metal flow in the die, forming load, strain distribution, tool and die life, surface quality of the product etc. The range of coefficient of friction in different metal forming applications is not well known and the factors affecting variation are ambiguous. Commercially available FEA packages input the coefficient of friction as constant among the whole process which is not a realistic approach. In this study, utility o...
Vibration induced stress and accelerated life analyses of an aerospace structure Özsoy, Serhan; Kadıoğlu, Fevzi Suat; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2006) Fatigue failure of metallic structures operating under dynamic loading is a common occurrence in engineering applications. It is difficult to estimate the response of complicated systems analytically, due to structure̕s dynamic characteristics and varying loadings. Therefore, experimental, numerical or a combination of both methods are used for fatigue evaluations. Fatigue failure can occur on systems and platforms as well as components to be mounted on the platform. In this thesis, a helicopter̕s Missile W...
Fatigue Precracking Time Estimates for Three-Point Bending Specimens Ghasabi, A. Alipour; Motameni, A; Kadıoğlu, Fevzi Suat (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-10-01) Specimens containing sharp cracks are needed in certain types of mechanical tests, first and foremost for fracture toughness measurement of materials. Their use, however, is not just limited to this type of test. Another category of experiments deals with characterizing nonlinear vibrations of beams containing breathing cracks. To produce cracked beam specimens, fatigue cracks can be grown ahead of sharp notches under controlled loading. ASTM E399 and ASTM E1820 standards provide guidance on such procedures...
CONTACT STRESS AND SURFACE FATIGUE FAILURE ANALYSIS FOR COMBINED NORMAL AND TANGENTIAL LOADING Arıkan, Mehmet Ali Sahir (1994-01-01) Contact stresses in bodies in line contact are determined by using the analytical expressions developed for two elastic bodies held in contact by forces normal to the area of contact and accompanied by frictional (tangential) forces. Variations of the stresses in the contact region, and effect of coefficient of friction on these stresses is investigated. Maximum values of principal, maximum shearing and von Mises stresses are determined for static failure analysis; mean and alternating von Mises stresses ...
