We need some references on how to improve hot forging processes with software simulation. Particularly in cases where the initial material cut is excessive and the process makes great perimetral burr.
Thanks you in advance.
Dear MArtinez
I have written a review paper about CFD simulations in Iron industry which was concerned with melting and casting but it is in my mother-language.
I may be helpful for short questions but two papers are
there were two papers who were strong enough to ensure you about eligibility of CFD for simulations.
I just search them one of them is:(looking forth process)

You can do in Ansys. Also, casting I think in Flow cast.
But, you need to choose methodology and parameter.
We work with a German Soft. The name is Simufact.
We need papers that show case examples on how to improve hot forging processes with software simulation. Particularly in cases where the initial material cut is excessive and the process generate great perimetral flash.
I'm not that good in forging Simulation but a Project Partner of mine is: Kanyakumari Datta . She has simulated even the metal foam forging (we are working at metal foams). She is surely able to help.
Hi
I have used a software called Qform
http://www.qform3d.com/
I think this software is easy to use and give reasonable results. All depending on the accuracy of your material property data of course. For good simulation results you may need to investigate your specific alloys flow properties at varying temperatures. This can be done for example at the AGH University in Krakow on Polen. Please let me know if you need further references.

Jonas

This post looks like an advertisement, but I have no economic interest in this software,.

Hi,
You can also use french software dedicated to forging process : FORGE (http://www.transvalor.com ). If you want some advice to use don't hesitate.
