8 FORGING PROCESSES Processes

Processes

REDUCTION.

REDUCTION is a forging process in

which the workpiece is forced

through an opening in the die, fully

or in part, involving a reduction in

its cross section. Tapering of solid

bodies results in a reduction in cross

section, whereas hollow bodies, by

contrast, are necked.

EXTRUSION.

EXTRUSION is a single or multi-sta-

tion production process for creating

both hollow and solid bodies. The

process is distinguished according

to the direction of material flow:

forward, backwards or lateral. The

workpiece is forced through an

opening in the die with reduced

cross section giving the workpiece

its shape.

IRONING.

IRONING is carried out by pulling

the workpiece through an ironing

ring with the help of a punch. The

wall thickness of the hollow body is

reduced in this process.

9 Processes FORGING PROCESSES

CLOSED DIE FORGING.

CLOSED DIE FORGING is a forging

process in which dies move towards

each other and covers the work-

piece in whole or in part.

The heated raw material, which is

approximately the shape or size of

the final forged part, is placed in the

bottom die. The shape of the forging

is incorporated in the top or bottom

die as a negative image. Coming

from above, the impact of the top die

on the raw material forms it into the

required forged form.

UPSETTING / OPEN DIE FORGING.

UPSETTING and OPEN DIE FORGING

are also forging procedures.

Upsetting is principally used for

preliminary distribution of the

material. In contrast to closed die

forging, the workpiece is not

completely enclosed during this

forging process.

PIERCING / TRIMMING.

PIERCING is used for incorporating

holes and openings into a work-

piece, which can have a wide range

of shapes and sizes. TRIMMING

involves removing surplus material

(flash) from the workpiece.

PROCESS AND DIE DEVELOPMENT Process development

Process development

We offer the entire process develop-

ment from a single source, including

consulting and training services. To

determine the best economic solu-

tion to produce quality parts, devel-

opment of the forging process

begins with part design, and must

simultaneously consider material

selection, process technology, pro-

duction stages and die processes.

The part design and process plan

form the basis for calculating the

economic efficiency in the project

planning phase. This means that the

decision to use a forging process

has been decided. Furthermore, the

process plan provides information

about the forging equipment

required, the die system and the

transfer system. These parameters

must be considered simultaneously

in order to achieve an optimum

result.

13 Process development PROCESS AND DIE DEVELOPMENT

PROCESS DEVELOPMENT.

The object of developing the part

design and process plan is to ensure

that economical production can be

achieved. It is necessary to consider

the specific application and produc-

tion situation. For example, if the

production volumes are low then the

objective is to achieve a process

with only a few forging stations, and

to plan for more complex secondary

machining.

An effective part design and process

plan relies on know-how and practi-

cal experience. During development

of the process plan, the decision

is made which forging process or

which combinations of forging pro-

cesses should be used: e. g. full for-

ward extrusion, backward extrusion,

reduction, upsetting, etc.

DIE DESIGN.

In practice, a critical part of die

development is the configuration of

the punches and dies. Not only the

punches and dies are accommodat-

ed in the die holder, but also the

other die elements. Modern forging

dies are configured for various sta-

tions. This means additional forging,

calibration, punching or trimming

procedures are possible in the same

operation (using four- or five-station

die sets commonly found in opera-

tion today). Special dies, such as

closing dies, can also be used. This

significantly reduces production

costs related to additional process-

ing after the forging process.

DIE COOLING AND LUBRICATION.

In warm and hot forging presses,

effective cooling and lubrication sys-

tems are required. The shown solu-

tions can provide optimum lubrica-

tion placement. In addition, the dura-

tion of the cooling and lubrication

process can be optimized. This is an

advantage compared to other sys-

tems such as linear manipulators,

swivelling systems or systems that

are mounted on transfer rails.Die cooling and lubrication systems for warm and hot forging.

HIGH FLEXIBILITY ENSURES

MAXIMUM ECONOMY.

The great flexibility of hydraulic sys-

tems is due to the ability of the user

to program strokes, forces and

speeds to fit the specific application,

which makes cold forging an attrac-

tive solution. Single and multi-station

hydraulic presses have an unlimited

working capacity, offering advan-

tages especially for long shaft-

shaped parts.

Multi-station hydraulic presses

require a very rigid press frame in

conjunction with a tall slide in order

to absorb the high off-center loads

which result from the different force

requirements of the individual sta-

tions.

Systems for cold forging

Schuler’spatentedRingValveprefill

valves significantly shorten the cycle

time of the hydraulic press. These

valves provide fast filling of the

hydraulic cylinders during rapid

closing. The pressure in the cylinder

can be released quickly so that the

slide will start the return stroke with-

out delay. Unlike traditional prefill

valves,RingValveprefillvalvescan

be opened under maximum pressure

at bottom dead center, which signifi-

cantly shortens the press release

portion of the cycle.

Presses with three cylinders allow

Dynamic Force Control (DFC) to be

used. The oil flow is automatically

supplied to one, two or all three

cylinders depending on the force

required. The maximum working

speed is three times faster than con-

ventional presses with the same

drives. As a result, further cycle time

reductions can be achieved, particu-

larly for cold extrusion presses,

where the force requirement does

not rise significantly until the end

of the forging cycle.

Variousprocesssequencescaneas-

ily be programmed and saved by the

operator using an on-screen menu

control system. In addition, integrat-

ed and highly flexible part handling

ensures maximum productivity.

THE ADVANTAGES

■ Tight parts tolerances because of rigid press frame and design

■ High-precision workpieces due to precise slide guiding and motorized height

adjustable hard stroke limitations in the bed and below the individual forging

stations

■ IncreasedoutputperformanceduetoRingValvetechnology

■ Part-specific optimization of the press cycle by Dynamic Force Control (DFC)

for high output

■ Low die wear due to low-speed contact (programmable motion curve)

■ Increased flexibility with more forging stations

■ Individually programmable ejectors in the bed and slide

SYSTEMS FOR INDIVIDUAL

REQUIREMENTS.

Because of the modular structure

of Schuler’s hydraulic presses, these

cold extrusion presses can be

adapted to the range of parts to be

manufactured, as well as other cus-

tomer requirements (e. g. available

die concepts, spacing between sta-

tions).

Bed and slide surface, die space,

stroke, number of stations and spac-

ing between stations are flexible in

the press design. Ejector concepts,

as well as their forces and strokes,

are defined according to the parts

being manufactured.

Stroke limitations, whether fixed or

adjustable, and die change equip-

ment are integrated as required.

OVERVIEW OF COLD EXTRUSION PRESS MODELS

The drive configuration ensures

that required working speeds are

reached, and therefore the desired

output is achieved. The adaptable

press geometry offers design flexibil-

ity for installation of automation with

a tri-axis transfer (for high output) or

robots (for high flexibility).

ECONOMICAL FORGING WITH

COMBINED DRAWING AND

IRONING IN ONE STROKE.

Hydraulic presses can form over

almost unlimited stroke lengths

under force, and therefore are well

suited to wall ironing. In addition to

traditional vertical forging systems,

Schuler also offers horizontal press-

es. With ingenious integration of two

die chambers in this design, the

return stroke of the slide can also be

used for forging, thereby increasing

productivity.

THE ADVANTAGES

■ High component quality in terms of accurate dimensions and

shape, as well as surface quality

■ Economical production with combined deep-drawing and ironing

operations in one forging procedure

■ No limits on component length due to unlimited working strokes of

hydraulic press systems

■ High output performance, particularly with horizontal press

systems using two die chambers

WHETHER SHORT OR LONG –

NET SHAPE IS THE GOAL.

As a rule, one ironing operation is

sufficient for calibrating precise

components. Long, thin walled parts

are generated in one stroke by rela-

tively large reductions in the wall

thickness on presses with long

stroke length and several ironing

rings arranged consecutively. The

blanks are pulled through the die

with the punch. In one cycle, the

wall thickness is reduced precisely

to the required dimension, the ulti-

mate shape is created and the sur-

face is smoothed.

APPLICATIONS

• CO2 cartridges

• Shockabsorbers

• Hollowshafts

COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS FOR

A CLEANER FUTURE.

Today, more and more vehicles are

driven with alternative fuels. The

travel distance of gas-fuelled vehi-

cles depends significantly on the

vehicle weight and the fill volume of

the fuel tank. To deal adequately

with both of these factors, it is nec-

essary for the compressed natural

gas (CNG) containers to withstand

considerable internal pressure and

also be lightweight in design.

Beginning with the blank, CNG con-

tainers are manufactured on Schuler

machinesinseveraldrawing/ironing

operations. A blank holder is inte-

grated depending on the forging sta-

tion.

■ High output rate

■ Reduced forging speed

■ Longer die life

■ Wide range of applications

Multi-station press for cold forging transmission shafts. Press force: 16,000 kN, slide stroke: 800 mm.

The variety of features and available

functions such as bed and slide

ejectors, blank feeding, transfer and

die changes means that the systems

can be used for specific applications

or flexibly optimized for a wide range

of applications. The various designs

for kinematic motion of the slide that

The eccentric drive provides economical high-volume production.

Eccentric drive in compact design.

The classic eccentric drive in its

compact design offers a range of

advantages, particularly suitable for

use in warm forging. The drive kine-

matics, which can optionally be con-

figured with a servo drive, combined

with the high-performance bed and

ram ejector systems, offer the best

conditions for reliable workpiece

handling and high output.

Combination with multiple feeder

and transfer devices is also possible.

These advantages can also be used

successfully in applications involving

cold forging and precision forging.

SCREW PRESSES ARE VIRTUOSOS.

Thanks to almost 120 years of expe-

rience in building screw presses,

with continuous developments, there

is practically no drop forging that

cannot be manufactured using a

screw press. As far back as 1936,

the conventional friction drive was

superseded by the friction roller

drive and, subsequently, direct drive.

Drive system of a screw press.

From 1963 onward, once reliable

three-phase synchronous motors

with rapid permitted switching fre-

quencies were available; the door

was open to a new and ideal drive

system for screw presses.

In this direct drive, the torque from

the drive motor is transmitted to the

screw without intermediate drive

components, wear parts or energy

losses. This drive concept repre-

sents the optimum design solution

for a screw press drive – in terms of

robustness, reliability, maintenance

and efficiency.

OVERVIEW OF SERIES PSM / PSH SCREW PRESS MODELS

PSM / PSH SERIES.

ThemediumPSM/PSHseriesare

produced as a two-piece casting

held together by four tie rods. In the

PSM series, the tie rods absorb sur-

plus energy once a defined forging

force has been reached, protecting

the press against overload. In addi-

tion, the PSH series features a

hydraulic overload protection sys-

tem. This system allows the press to

be equipped with a higher working

energy, which is necessary when

large forgings are involved. The

series has a frequency drive. This

not only allows precise control, but

also delivers improved efficiency

and better repetitive accuracy.

DUALDRIVE OPENS NEW

HORIzONS.

The newly developed DualDrive

concept for crank forging presses

makes it possible to move through

the top dead center position at a

very low ram speed, and move

through the bottom dead center

position at a very high ram speed.

The forging press is equipped with

two drives for this kind of high-per-

formance.

1. A conventional main drive with fly-

wheel,clutch/brakecombination

with freewheel and planetary gear

unit.

2. A controlled auxiliary drive for the

sections in which no forging takes

place.

With this drive concept, called

DualDrive, it is possible to vary the

ram speeds between 6 and 12

strokes/min.intheTDCareaand

between60and120strokes/min.in

the BDC area. As a result, the die

contact times can be cut to a mini-

mum, thereby extending the die life.

Also, the time available for die cool-

ing and for parts transport is longer.

This means the productivity of the

press can be increased significantly

by full capacity utilization. Output

ratesofupto40parts/minarepos-

sible, depending on the part size.

THE ADVANTAGES

■ Reduced contact time

■ Reduced die wear

■ More time for die cooling and part

transport

FORGING AND ROLLING RAILWAY

WHEELS.

Railway wheels are manufactured in

three forging stages before they are

processed further with machining

(metal cutting). First, the heated

billet is pressed into a disk-shaped

pre-form on a pre-form press. Next,

this blank is rolled into the shape of

a wheel on a rolling machine. Last,

the rolled wheel is shaped in a cali-

brating press and a hole is pierced in

the hub. Hydraulic presses with

press forces up to 100,000 kN are

used for pre-forging the wheels. As

a rule, press forces from 20,000 to

50,000 kN are required for shaping

and piercing.

EXAMPLES OF HYDRAULIC

FORGING PRESSES.

The working sequences before and

after the actual forging are frequent-

ly performed on hydraulic presses.

On hydraulic pre-form presses, pre-

forms are generated so that there

will be a mass distribution appropri-

ate for the die. Having a pre-form

with a good structure reduces the

amount of material used and also

reduces the forming forces required

during forging. The die life is

improved.

APPLICATIONS

Hydraulic forging presses ➔• Fittingsforpipelines

• Thick-walledpipes

• Railends

• Largeflangesandbrakedisks(pre-forming)

• Crankshafts(calibrating)

• Axleparts(calibrating)

Following die forging, the flash is

trimmed off and any required

piercing and coining work is

performed on hydraulic trimming

and calibrating presses. These

working sequences can either be

combined in one die or performed

consecutively in several stations.

Hydraulic forging presses are used

wherever high forces and long work-

ing travel distances are required.

This is revealed in numerous special

applications up to press forces of

300,000 kN and working travel dis-

tances of 4 m. Examples include hot

forging presses, piercing presses

and presses for partial forging of

fittings and thick-walled pipes.

WHETHER BIG OR SMALL,

ROUNDNESS AND PRECISION ARE

THE MAIN CRITERIA.

The first forging operation when

manufacturing seamless rings is

forging ring blanks. Ring rolling lines

turn these into the precursors for

bearing shells, crown gears, flanges,

turbine disks for jet engines and var-

ious highly stressed structural ele-

ments.

Hydraulic presses are particularly

well suited for forging ring blanks:

High forces, long strokes and an

unlimited rated capacity are the fea-

tures needed for efficient ring blank

forging. Either highly flexible lines or

multi-station processes with opti-

mized output are used, depending on

the depth of the product range

PROCESSES DEPENDENT ON THE

PRODUCT.

The required part geometry and a

suitable grain flow are provided by

different forging processes.

Ring blanks for simple parts are

manufactured open die upsetting fol-

lowed by pre-piercing and piercing.

Complex geometries are achieved by

forging and pre-piercing in a die.

Pre-piercing guarantees a symmetri-

cal grain flow in the part and has a

positive effect on the mechanical

properties of the finished product.

Each process requires a precisely

configured line with the necessary

level of flexibility and the required

output rate.

The short cycle time of the press

allows the ring blank to be further

processed before it cools.

Different materials present the forg-

ing line with different challenges.

Low-alloy steels can be formed rela-

tively easily, while “exotic” materials

such as nickel-based alloys, Inconel,

titanium and aluminum alloys require

process parameters that can be

adjusted or even varied during the

forging operation, such as adjustable

profiles for the forging speed.

FORGING ALLOY WHEELS.

Weight savings achieved in the

driveline are increasingly leading to

more energy efficient vehicles. In

addition, reducing the wheel weight

in trucks can allow for a payload

increase of up to 500 kg, depending

on the number of wheels, for the

same gross vehicle weight. In addi-

tion, the ability to polish the surface

to a mirror-like finish makes the

hearts of some truck drivers beat

faster.

These requirements are met by

forged aluminum wheels.

Hydraulic presses with high press

forces make it possible to forge alu-

minum wheels with superior proper-

ties: Improved mechanical proper-

ties, lighter weight, good chemical

resistance, and almost unlimited

design options.

Turnkey systems including the press-

es, a saw for the billets, heaters,

automation and die change devices

make it easy to start forging alumi-

num wheels, or to extend an existing

production facility. Line controllers

required quantity, influences the type

of system selected for production.

Simple wheel geometries without a

forged rim face, such as truck

wheels, are forged in one station.

The following station carries out the

trimming and flaring of the rim.

A similar process is used for small

quantities, in which the design of the

rim face is completed by machining.

For rims with a profiled face, press

lines comprising typically three to

four presses are used. The parts are

either forged with one heat in three

to four stations or with intermediate
