Two Step Forging Process of Spur Gear Based on Rigid Parallel Motion

【摘要】 To improve the forging process of spur gear,the metal flow rule is investigated in detail,and a hypothesis of radial rigid-parallel-motive (RPM) flow mode is given. Based on the RPM mode a novel specific gear forging technology is put forward by introduced upend forging process and constrained divided-flow technique. Firstly,finite element method is used to simulate the upend forging pre-forming and RPM finish forging,and equivalent stress field and load-stroke curve are investigated. Secondly,a corresponding experiment is carried out with pure lead to validate the numerical simulation. Thirdly,the peak value of conventional forging process is also simulated and is used to compare with the novel forging process,and the result shows that the forming force decreases significantly,about 35%. Finally,the effect on forming load of two key process parameters (the height of gear tooth after pre-forming and friction factor) is analyzed,and the superiority of the novel forging process is further proved.更多还原
