Accuracy is a key issue in cold forging process. Component defect is one of the major problems

in cold forging because the process depends on many factors including complexity of the

component. Defect not only affects the performance of the component but may also harm the

assembly. The problem of defect becomes more critical as the complexity of the component

increases, but the size and complexity of the part limit the effective assessment of the defect.

This project aims to investigate the geometrical and dimensional defects that occur in

Autonomous Underwater Vehicle propeller blades produced using the cold forging process.

Typically the manufacturing of the blade can be divided into five stages namely, blanking,

forming, trimming, heading and twisting. The defect was evaluated based on the three main

criteria of the blade. First, the overall geometrical and dimensional accuracy of the blade was

measured. In this study, the profile of the forged blade was considered as the final part, whereas

the profile obtained from the punch was considered as the targeted profile. The profile was

captured using a commercial focus variation based 3D surface measurement system, the Infinite

Alicona System. The constructed 3D profile was then compared to a nominal model. Next, the

filling ability of the pin head during the cold embossing or heading process was investigated,

because an imperfect or defective pin head may affect the final assembly of the blade. In this

work, the effects of design and process parameters, including punch diameter and distance to

edge on the formation of defect, were studied using the commercial 2D finite element analysis

software DEFORM-2D. The defect can be estimated based on the incomplete filling of the

region and the amount of bulging based on the captured images of the simulation result. In

addition, the defect was predicted by investigating the design parameters and its effect on the

material flow pattern. Comparison between the simulation result and the fabricated pin head

show a geometrically similar pattern. Finally, the twist springback was measured. In this study,

defect was considered based on profile deviation, which was obtained from the 3D surface

measurement technique. An algorithm was developed to measure the deviation. The result

showed that the thickness error depended on the deformation ratio whereas the twist angle

accuracy relied on the amount of twist and thickness of the blade. In the other case, the

simulation results indicated that the most significant parameter for the filling ability and amount

of bulging was the distance to edge, whereas the punch taper was not relevant for cases of edge

embossing. In the case of twist springback, the results implied that the twist springback increased

as the twist angle increased. The highest springback was found to be at 16.11% for section E,

while the lowest is 2.58% for section A. Similarly, the twist springback increased with the

increase in deformation ratio. The coordinate measurement machine was used to validate the

result. This study will contribute to the development of effective evaluation method in the non-

contact measurement of geometrical and dimensional defect of component with complex profile

such as the propeller blade.

PENILAIAN KECACATAN GEOMETRIKAL DAN DIMENSI BILAH PENUJAH

AA6061 YANG DIHASILKAN SECARA TEMPAAN SEJUK

Kejituan merupakan kunci utama dalam proses tempaan sejuk. Kecacatan komponen adalah

merupakan salah satu masalah utama dalam tempaan sejuk disebabkana proses ini bergantung

kepada banyak faktor termasuklah kerumitan komponen. Kecacatan bukan sahaja memberi kesan

kepada prestasi komponen, tetapi ianya juga akan merosakkan pemasangan. Masalah kecacatan

akan menjadi lebih kritikal selaras dengan peningkatan kerumitan komponen tersebut, ini kerana,

saiz dan kerumitan komponen telah menghadkan keberkesanan penilaian kecacatan tersebut.

Projek ini bertujuan untuk menyiasat kecacatan geometrikal dan dimensi yang wujud dalam

bilah-bilah penujah Kenderaan Bawah-Air Autonomous yang telah dihasilkan menggunakan

proses tempaan sejuk. Secara dasarnya, pembuatan bilah boleh dibahagikan kepada lima

peringkat, yang dinamakan sebagai pengosongan, pembentukan, perapian, penghasilan kepala

dan piuhan. Kecacatan dinilai berdasarkan tiga kriteria dan sifat. Yang pertama ialah pengukuran

kejituan keseluruhan kecacatan geometrikal dan dimensi bilah. Dalam kajian ini, profil bilah

yang dihasilkan melalui tempaan mewakili komponen akhir yang terhasil, manakala profil yang

terhasil daripada penghentam dikira sebagai profil yang diharapkan pada bilah. Profil-profil ini

akan terhasil dengan menggunakan sistem pengukuran permukaan 3D komersial yang

dibangunkan berdasarkan variasi fokus yang dinamakan, Infinite Alicona System. Profil 3D yang

dihasilkan kemudiannya akan dibandingkan dengan model nominal bilah. Seterusnya kriteria

yang kedua dan paling utama ialah kajian keboleh-isian kepala pin yang dihasilkan semasa

proses penimbulan sejuk. Ini kerana ketidak sempurnaan atau kepala pin yang cacat akan

memberi kesan kepada pemasangan akhir bilah. Dalam kajian ini, kesan parameter-parameter

rekabentuk dan proses termasuklah diameter penghentam dan jarak ke bucu kepada

pembentukan kecacatan telah dikaji dengan menggunakan perisian komersial analisis unsur

terhingga DEFORM-2D. Kecacatan telah dianggarkan berdasarkan ketidak-sempurnaan

pengisian kawasan dan bonjolan daripada imej yang diambil daripada keputusan simulasi. Selain

itu, kecacatan juga diramal dengan menyiasat parameter rekabentuk dan kesannya kepada bentuk

aliran bahan yang menjurus kepada kemunculan cacat. Akhir sekali, bidas-balik piuhan telah

diukur. Dalam kajian ini, kecacatan dipertimbangkan berdasarkan sisihan profil yang terhasil

daripada teknik pengukuran permukaan 3D. Algoritma dibina untuk mengukur sisihan.

Keputusan daripada kajian yang telah dijalankan menunjukkan ralat ketebalan bergantung

kepada nisbah perubahan-bentuk, manakala kejituan sudut piuhan bergantung kepada amaun

piuhan dan ketebalan bilah. Dalam kes lain, keputusan simulasi menunjukkan yang parameter

yang paling signifikan kepada keboleh-pengisian dan amaun bonjol adalah jarak ke bucu,

malahan penghentam dengan serongan pun tidak relevan kepada kes proses penimbulan bucu.

Perbandingan antara keputusan simulasi dan hasil tempaan sejuk menujukkan bentuk yang

secara geometrinya sama. Manakala dalam kajian bidasan-balik piuhan menunjukkan

peningkatan bidas-balik selaras dengan peningkatan sudut piuhan. Piuhan paling tinggi adalah

16.11% bagi seksyen E, manakala yang paling rendah adalah 2.58% untuk seksyen A. Begitu

juga, bidasan-balik piuhan bertambah dengan pengingkatan nisbah perubahan-bentuk. Dalam

kajian ini, mesin pengukuran koordinat digunakan untuk mengesahkan keputusan yang

diperolehi. Kajian ini menyumbang kepada kaedah penilaian yang lebih efektif dalam mengukur

tanpa-sentuh kecacatan geometrikal dan dimensi komponen berprofil rumit seperti bilah penujah.
