Abstract
In this paper, thermal analysis of cup shaped article using finite element method for flash-less cold forging is presented. The work-piece specifications are calculated by developing mathematical relations between volumes of die cavity and work-piece. The three dimensional FE simulation is made by DEFORM F3 V 6.0 and geometrical modeling for the die and the work-piece is performed by SOLIDWORKS 2007 4.0. The work-piece used is of AISI 1045 steel and the die material is steel (AISI D2). The results of numerical simulation and analytical calculations are found in satisfactory agreement with the experimental results.
