| ABSTRACT |
|
With the improvement in the accuracy of simulation and computation time, the need for the application of
optimization technique in designing process parameters is increasing and is being realized in some fields. However, two
obstacles are still preventing the optimization technique from being practically used in forging process. The one is the lack of
quantification technique of grain flow quality and the other is difficulty in treating 3 dimensional die shape as design
parameters. In this study, 3 kinds of quantification technique of grain flow quality, the overlapping index, cutting index and
locally sinking index, are introduced based on the relation between grain flow and product quality. Also, a methodology of
treating 3 dimensional die shape as the design parameters is introduced using discretized finite element model. |
