Induction heating is one of the efficient and modern technique for heating raw materials for hot forging process. The induction heating furnaces use electro-magnetic field to transfer energy to the metal workpiece and heat is generated inside the material. The magnetic field can be provided by using induction coil. The power supplied to induction coil, the moving speed of the billet that is called conveyor speed and the coil box hole diameter are the factors affecting the resultant temperature of the heated billet. In this study, AISI 1045 type steel billets with a diameter of Ø 30 mm and length of 100 mm have been heated in a particular induction heater. During heating, effects of different levels of power, conveyor speed and the coil boxes with different hole diameters are investigated. The 125 KW 3000 Hz induction heater which is available in METU-BILTIR Research and Application Center Forging Laboratory is used in experiments. The heating experiments are designed according to 23 Factorial Design of Experiment Method. Multiple linear regression technique is used to derive a mathematical formula to predict the temperature of the heated billet. A good correlation between the measured temperatures that are the results of different sets of induction heating parameters and the predicted temperatures that are calculated by using temperature prediction formula has been observed.

Elastic-plastic finite element analysis of semi-hot forging dies Halisçelik, Murat; Darendeliler, Haluk; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2009) Semi-hot or warm forging is an economical alternative to the conventional forging processes by combining advantages of hot and cold forging processes. In this study, a new forging process sequence and design of the preform die for a part which has been produced by hot forging are proposed to be produced by semi-hot forging. Thermo-mechanical finite element analyses are performed over the stages of forging process. The billet and the dies are modeled as elastic-plastic bodies. Effects of preform die geometry...
Design and thermo-mechanical analysis of warm forging process and dies Saraç, Sevgi; Gökler, Mustafa İlhan; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007) Forging temperature is one of the basic considerations in forging processes. In warm forging, the metals are forged at temperatures about the recrystallization temperature and below the traditional hot forging temperature. Warm forging has many advantages when compared to hot and cold forging. Accuracy and surface finish of the parts is improved compared to hot forging while ductility is increased and forming loads are reduced when compared to cold forging. In this study, forging process of a part which is ...
Effect of Turbine Blade Tip Cooling Configuration on Tip Leakage Flow and Heat Transfer Sakaoglu, Sergen; Kahveci, Harika Senem (ASME International, 2020-02-01) The pressure difference between suction and pressure sides of a turbine blade leads to tip leakage flow, which adversely affects the first-stage high-pressure (HP) turbine blade tip aerodynamics. In modern gas turbines, HP turbine blade tips are exposed to extreme thermal conditions requiring cooling. If the coolant jet directed into the blade tip gap cannot counter the leakage flow, it will simply add up to the pressure losses due to leakage. Therefore, the compromise between the aerodynamic loss and the g...
Effects of processing parameters on mechanical and thermal properties of glass mat reinforced nylon 6 composites Akkaoui, W; Bayram, Göknur (SAGE Publications, 2004-01-01) Nylon 6 (PA6)/Glass Mat (GM) composites and pure PA6 were prepared by compression molding technique and the effects of molding temperature, pressure application time and GM content on the final properties of the materials were investigated. At each temperature and pressure application time, the composite with one layer GM had higher tensile strength, tensile modulus but lower % elongation at break than neat PA6. Processing parameters did not significantly influence the tensile behavior of the pure PA6 and P...
Assesment of roll-formed products including the cold forming effects Güner, Alper; Kılıç, S. Engin; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007) Roll-forming is an efficient sheet forming process that is used in manufacturing long parts with constant cross-section. The theoretical, experimental and numerical analyses of the process are limited since the sheet takes a complex 3D shape during the process. In this study proper finite element method models to simulate the roll-forming process are examined both numerically and experimentally. In addition, the applicability of 2D plane strain models to the simulation of the process is investigated. To rev...
