The powders were cold compacted in a die to produce green cylinder compacts. Four consolidation processes were applied, namely;conventional sintering at 500℃, sintering followed by hot forging to obtain pistons, one step hot forging into pistons, and hot pressing. The microstructure of the sintered specimens showed inter-granular pores and oxide layers on particle interfaces of 84% relative density. When the sintered specimens were hot forged, both the inter-granular pores and oxide layers on particle interfaces almost disappeared and the relative densities increased up to about 95%. The same microstructure is also obtained for the one step forged specimens, but the relative densities increased to about 97%. However, the hot pressing specimens showed the presence of oxide layers on particle surfaces as well as few isolated pores. The relative density of the hot pressed specimens was about 90%. Hardness and ultimate compression strength were measured. It is noted that the strongest bulk materials are those made by hot forging, followed by those made by hot pressing and the weakest bulk materials are those made by conventional sintering.展开更多

Since the forging process is complex under the low velocity, its response is difficult to estimate. And this often causes the desirable low-velocity forging condition difficult to obtain. So far little work has been found to estimate the dynamic response of the forging process under low velocity. In this paper, an approximate-model based estimation method is proposed to estimate the dynamic response of the forging process under low velocity. First, an approximate model is developed to represent the forging process of this complex HPM around the low-velocity working point. Under guaranteeing the modeling performance, the model may greatly ease the complexity of the subsequent estimation of the dynamic response because it has a good linear structure. On this basis, the dynamic response is estimated and the conditions for stability, vibration, and creep are derived according to the solution of the velocity. All these analytical results are further verified by both simulations and experiment. In the simulation verification for modeling, the original movement model and the derived approximate model always have the same dynamic responses with very small approximate error. The simulations and experiment finally demonstrate and test the effectiveness of the derived conditions for stability, vibration, and creep, and these conditions will benefit both the prediction of the dynamic response of the forging process and the design of the controller for the high-quality forging. The proposed method is an effective solution to achieve the desirable low-velocity forging condition.展开更多

The effects of thermal conductivity characteristic of the TiCN composite on hot forging performances were investigated using a servo press with ram motion control. Three types of the die materials; （a） tool steel for hot working, （b） cemented tungsten carbide with high thermal conductivity and （c） TiCN composite with low thermal conductivity were compared. In hot upsetting of a chrome steel workpiece, the TiCN composite die was confirmed to reduce the forging load by approximately 20% at slow forging speed. This is because the die with low thermal conductivity could prevent the workpiece from rapid cooling induced by heat transfer at the die-workpiece interface. In addition, the material flow of the workpiece to a die cavity was improved. Furthermore, the wear depth/wear coefficient of the TiCN composite was lower than that of the tool steel and the cemented tungsten carbide in the numerical analysis of wear due to the combination of low thermal conductivity and high hardness.展开更多
