5.1 INTRODUCTION
ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II
Metal forming includes a large group of manufacturing processes in which plastic deformation is used to change the shape of metal workpieces.
Deformation results from the use of a tool, usually a die in metal forming, which applies stresses that exceeds the yield strength of the metal.
The metal therefore deforms to take a shape determined by the geometry of the die.
Stresses applied to plastically deform the metal are usually compressive. However, some forming processes stretch the metal, while others bend the metal, still others shear the metal.
To be successfully formed, a metal must posses certain properties. Desirable properties for forming usually include low yield strength and high
ductility. These properties are affected by temperature. Ductility is increased and yield strength is reduced when work temperature is
raised.

Plastic Deformation ProcessesOperations that induce shape changes on the workpiece by plastic deformation under forces applied by various tools and dies.
Bulk Deformation ProcessesThese processes involve large amount of plastic deformation. The cross-section of workpiece changes without volume change. The ratio cross-section area/volume is small. For most operations, hot or warm working conditions are preferred although some operations are carried out at room temperature.
Sheet-Forming ProcessesIn sheet metalworking operations, the cross-section of workpiece does not change—the material is only subjected to shape changes. The ratio cross-section area/volume is very high.
Sheet metalworking operations are performed on thin (less than 6 mm) sheets, strips or coils of metal by means of a set of tools called punch and die on machine tools called stamping presses. They are always performed as cold working operations.

ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II
Material BehaviorIn the plastic region, the metal behavior is expressed by the flow curve:
σ = Κεn
Where;K is the strength coefficient and n is the strain-hardening (or work- hardening) exponent. K and n are given in the tables of material properties or are calculated from the material testing curves.
Flow stressFor some metalworking calculations, the flow stress σf of the work material (the instantaneous value of stress required to continue deforming the metal) must be known:
σf = Κεn
5.1.2 Material considerations
19.04.23 CHAPTER 5 METAL WORKING PROCESSES

ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II
Average (mean) flow stress
In some cases, analysis is based not on the instantaneous flow stress, but on an average value over the strain-stress curve from the beginning of strain to the final (maximum) value that occurs during deformation:
σf = Κεn
Fig. 5.1 Stress-strain curve indicating location of average flow stress f in relation to
yield strength y and final flow stress f.
19.04.23 CHAPTER 5 METAL WORKING PROCESSES

ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II
The mean flow stress is defined as:
here εf is the maximum strain value during deformation.
Work-hardening
It is an important material characteristic since it determines both the properties of the workpiece and process power. It could be removed by annealing.
Work hardening, also known as strain hardening or cold working, is the strengthening of a metal by plastic deformation. This strengthening occurs because of dislocation movements within the crystal structure of the material.
Any material with a reasonably high melting point such as metals and alloys can be strengthened in this fashion.

ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II
The flow curve is valid for an ambient work temperature. For any material, K and n depend on temperature, and therefore material properties are changed with the work temperature:

5.1.3 Temperature in metal forming

ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II
There are three temperature ranges-cold, warm & hot working:
Fig. 5.3 Temperature range for different metal forming operations. TA is the ambient (room) temperature, and Tm is the work metal melting temperature
19.04.23 CHAPTER 5 METAL WORKING PROCESSES

Metal forming processes can also be classified according to the working temperature.
The effect of temperature gives the rise to distinctions between cold working, warm working, and hot working.
Hot and cold working of metals is of great importance in engineering production. Processes such as forging, rolling, drawing and extrusion predominate in the primary stages of production and have been perfected through developments.
Hot Working is the initial step in the mechanical working of most metals and alloys. Hot working reduces the energy required to deform the metal. It also increases ability of metals to flow without cracking. However, due to high temperature, surface oxidation and decarburisation can not be prevented.
Cold Working of a metal results in an increase in strength or hardness and a decrease in ductility. But, when cold working is excessive, the metal will fracture before final size has been reached (<0.3Tm).
Hot Working of metals takes place above the recrystallization temperature. Cold Working must be done below the recrystallization range (0.5Tm to 0.75Tm).

ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II
Cold working is metal forming performed at room temperature.
Advantages: better accuracy, better surface finish, high strength and hardness of the part, no heating is required.
Disadvantages: higher forces and power, limitations to the amount of forming, additional annealing for some material is required, and some material are not capable of cold working.
Warm working is metal forming at temperatures above the room temperature but below the recrystallization one.
Advantages: lower forces and power, more complex part shapes, no annealing is required.
Disadvantages: some investment in furnaces is needed.
19.04.23 CHAPTER 5 METAL WORKING PROCESSES
10
ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II
Hot working involves deformation of preheated material at temperatures above the re-crystallization temperature.
Advantages: big amount of forming is possible, lower forces and power are required, forming of materials with low ductility, no work hardening and therefore, no additional annealing is required.
Disadvantages: lower accuracy and surface finish, higher production cost, and shorter tool life.

ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II
Homogeneous DeformationIf a solid cylindrical workpiece is placed between two flat platens and an applied load P is increased until the stress reaches the flow stress of the material then its height will be reduced from initial value of ho to h1.
Under ideal homogeneous condition in absence of friction between platens and work, any height reduction causes a uniform increase in diameter and area from original area of Ao to final area Af.

Inhomogeneous deformation
In practice, the friction between platens and workpiece cannot be avoided and the latter develops a “barrel” shape.
This is called inhomogeneous deformation and changes the load estimation as follows:

Metal forming processes can be classified as:
1. Bulk deformation processes: Forging, Rolling, Extrusion and Drawing (wire);
Forging is the working of metal into a useful shape by hammering or pressing. It is the oldest of the metal working processes.
Most forging operations are carried out hot, although certain metals may be cold forged. The two broad categories of forging processes are open-die forging and closed-die forging.
Closed-die forging uses carefully machined matching die blocks to produce forging to close dimensional tolerances.

ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II
According to the degree to which the flow of the metal is constrained by the dies there are three types of forging:
Fig. 5.8 Three types of forging: (a) open-die forging, (b) impression die forging, and (c) flashless forging
19.04.23 CHAPTER 5 METAL WORKING PROCESSES
16
ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II
Open-die forging
Known as upsetting, it involves compression of a work between two flat dies, or platens. Force calculations were discussed earlier.

19.04.23 CHAPTER 5 METAL WORKING PROCESSES

ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II
Impression-die forgingIn impression-die forging, some of the material
flows radially outward to form a flash:

19.04.23 CHAPTER 5 METAL WORKING PROCESSES
18
ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II
Flashless forgingThe work material is completely surrounded by the die cavity during compression and
no flash is formed:
Fig. 13 Flashless forging: (1) just before initial contact with the workpiece, (2) partial compression, and (3) final push and die closure. Symbol v indicates motion, and F - applied force.
Most important requirement in flashless forging is that the work volume must equal the space in the die cavity to a very close tolerance.
19.04.23 CHAPTER 5 METAL WORKING PROCESSES

ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II
Coining
Special application of flashless forging in which fine detail in the die are impressed into the top and bottom surfaces of the workpiece.
There is a little flow of metal in coining.

Forging equipment may be classified with respect to the principle of operation:
a)Forging hammers (Şahmerdan):
The force is supplied by a falling weight. These are energy-restricted machines since the deformation results from dissipating the kinetic energy of the ram. Their capacity is expressed with energy units.

Rolling into intermediate shapes-blooms, billets, slabs.• Processing blooms, billets, slabs into plates, sheets, bar stock, foils.• Steel is cast into ingots. Theare storedy in that shape. When milling is
necessary, ingots are heated in soaking pits, up to 1200oC. Ingots are rolled into intermediate shapes: A bloom has a square section above 150x150 mm. A billet is smaller than a bloom with square section from 40x40 mm up to bloom. Slabs have a rectangular section with min. width 250 mm and min. thickness 40 mm. The strips are rolled from slabs.
ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II
5.3.1 STEEL ROLLING
Steps in rollingThe preheated at 1200oC cast ingot (the process is known as soaking) is rolled into one of the three intermediate shapes called blooms, slabs, or billets.
* Bloom has a square cross section of 150/150 mm or more* Slab (40/250 mm or more) is rolled from an ingot or a bloom* Billet (40/40 mm or more) is rolled from a bloom
19.04.23 CHAPTER 5 METAL WORKING PROCESSES

These intermediate shapes are then rolled into different products as illustrated in the figure:

5.3.2 LIMITING ROLLING CONDITION
Plain strain conditions are valid for rolling (i.e. no change in width of plate) and speed of neutral plane (N) is equal to tangential speed of rolls:
b ho vo = b hf vf = b h v b: width
19.04.23 CHAPTER 5 METAL WORKING PROCESSES
37
ME 333 PRODUCTION PROCESSES II
The angle between the entrance plane and the centerline of the rolls is called angle of contact or angle of bite. For the workpiece to enter into the gap between the rolls, horizontal component of the normal force Pr and the frictional force F should be equal or frictional force should be bigger.

A 300x25 mm strip is fed through a rolling mill with two powered rolls each of 250 mm radius. The work thickness is to be reduced to 22 mm in one pass at a roll speed of 50 rpm. The flow stress of work material is 180 MPa and the coefficient of friction between roll and work is about 0.12. Determine if the friction is sufficient to permit rolling operation to be accomplished. If so calculate the roll force, torque and horsepower.

Extrusion is a Bulk Deformation Process in which the work is forced to flow through a die opening to produce a desired cross-sectional shape.Extrusion is the process by which a block of metal is reduced in cross-section by forging it to flow through a die under pressure. In general, extrusion is used to produce cylindrical bars or hollow tubes, but irregular cross-sections may also be produced. Lead, tin, aluminum alloys can be cold extruded. Horizontal type presses are used. Speed is depends on temperature and type of material used.

The number of dies varies between 4 to12. The maximum possible reduction per pas is 0.63. In practice, draw reductions per pass are well below the theoretical limit. Reductions of 0.5 for single-draft bar drawing and 0.3 for multiple-draft wire drawing seem to be the upper limits in industrial practice.
