Method for automated pass schedule calculation in radial forging - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240051013 titled 'Method for automated pass schedule calculation in radial forging

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a patent application for a radial forging process used to shape long metal products. The process involves using at least four forging tools arranged around the workpiece to simultaneously carry out the forging operation. An automatic pass schedule calculation program is used to input start parameters and define target parameters for the forging process. Based on these parameters, the program calculates a pass schedule or forging sequence. It also considers temperature variation and distribution over the cross section of the product, as well as the change in shape during radial forging.

  • The patent application is for a radial forging process for shaping long metal products.
  • The process uses at least four forging tools arranged around the workpiece.
  • The tools are set up and adapted to simultaneously carry out the forging operation.
  • An automatic pass schedule calculation program is used to input start and target parameters.
  • The program calculates a pass schedule or forging sequence based on these parameters.
  • The program also considers temperature variation and distribution over the product's cross section.
  • The program takes into account the change in shape during radial forging.

Potential Applications:

  • Manufacturing of long metal products such as rods, bars, or shafts.
  • Automotive industry for producing engine components, drive shafts, or suspension parts.
  • Aerospace industry for manufacturing aircraft components like landing gear or structural elements.

Problems Solved:

  • Efficient and precise shaping of long metal products.
  • Simultaneous forging operation using multiple tools.
  • Accurate calculation of pass schedule and temperature distribution.
  • Consideration of shape change during radial forging.

Benefits:

  • Increased productivity due to simultaneous forging operation.
  • Improved accuracy and precision in shaping long metal products.
  • Enhanced control over temperature distribution for better material properties.
  • Cost savings through optimized pass schedule calculation and reduced material waste.


Original Abstract Submitted

radial forging of long products made of metal workpieces in a radial forging machine uses at least four forging tools arranged around the circumference of the workpiece, which are set up and adapted to simultaneously carry out the forging operation. an automatic pass schedule calculation includes entering start parameters for the radial forging process into a pass schedule calculation program and defining target parameters for the radial forging process. the pass schedule calculation program calculates a pass schedule or a forging sequence based on these start and target parameters. the pass schedule calculation program determines a temperature variation and the temperature distribution over the cross section of the long product and takes into account the change in shape during radial forging.
