Dynamic testing of materials is necessary to model high-speed forming processes (e.g. hammer forging, blanking, forming, etc.) and crash/impact behaviour of structures, amongst others. The most common machines to perform ...

This study addresses the significant gap in the literature regarding the heat transfer coefficient (HTC) under near-solidus forming (NSF) conditions, where materials are shaped close to their solidus state, presenting ...

Many tribological tests have been developed in the last decades to emulate real cold forging processes at laboratory conditions and to obtain friction coefficients at different process conditions. In this paper a new ...

Ti-6Al-4V is a widely employed material in the aerospace, power generation and bioengineering industries due to its low density, excellent corrosion resistance and outstanding mechanical properties. Hammer forging is one ...

Hammer forging is a widely employed manufacturing process to produce parts with excellent mechanical properties. Although the rheological behavior and the microstructural transformation phenomena of metals under hammer ...

The Near Solidus Forming (NSF) process represents a critical method for shaping metallic components under extreme temperature conditions. When metals deform plastically, significant amounts of heat can be generated, which ...

Cold forging is a manufacturing process where a bar stock is inserted into a die and squeezed with a second closed die. It is one of the most widely used chipless forming processes, often requiring no machining or additional ...
