The recent and increasing use of Steel Matrix Composites (SMCs) reinforced with titanium
particles (TiB 2) in engineering applications highlights the need for a deeper understanding …

We present a new concept of critical surface strain to evaluate the lubrication-effective limit
for process design in metal forming. Finite-element predictions obtained at various fixed …

This paper investigates a new test to analyse the friction behaviour of the tool-chip interface
under conditions that usually appear in metal cutting. The developed test is basically an …

This paper studies the influence of diverse friction models on the numerical analysis of an
industrial skew rolling mill using FORGE®. The originality of the present contribution is the …

In multi-stage hot forging processes, the preform shape is the parameter mainly influencing
the final forging result. Nevertheless, the design of multi-stage hot forging processes is still a …

Aluminium alloys are being increasingly used in the automotive industry as a means of light-
weighting the vehicle body to reduce emissions. The forming characteristics of aluminium …

Within product development processes, computational models are used with increasing
frequency. However, the use of those methods is often restricted to the area of focus, where …

In this study, the possibilities of improving the mechanical and corrosion properties of Mg–
4Li–1Ca processed using twist channel angular pressing (TCAP) were investigated. There …

Oscillating cold forging (OCF) is an extrusion method with pulse ram motion. Compared with
conventional cold forging (CCF), the OCF can greatly reduce the forming force, which can be …

In the recent decades the finite element method has become an essential tool for the cost-
efficient virtual process design in the metal forming sector in order to counter the constantly …
