Extend Die Life with Flood Welding

One of the forging industry’s biggest challenges is finding ways to increase die life, a parameter that is fundamental to efficiency and profitability. One way to achieve this is through the process called flood welding, a high-speed, high-deposition weld-metal recovery of a worn forging-die cavity.

Selecting the Right Equipment to Handle Heavy Forgings

The productivity of a forge shop can be greatly affected by the efficient flow of workpieces through the plant. Solutions to handle workflow range from motorized manipulators to rail-mounted systems to overhead manipulators. For most applications there is more than one solution, and an experienced engineer can help you select the right system for your operation. It is important not to be guided by price alone but rather to think in the long term.

Solving Die Failure with Special Tool Steels

Using the metaphor of old, less-efficient cars compared with modern vehicles, the authors suggest that using age-old tool-steel grades may not measure up to the performance needed from modern forging die steels in certain applications.

The Use of Direct Metal Deposition (DMD) Additive Manufacturing on Forging Dies

Direct metal deposition (DMD) is a powder jet additive-manufacturing (AM) technique that can be used for low-cost build, repair, hardfacing and reconfiguration of forging dies. The technique has also been used to add features such as flanges and bosses to forged parts to improve their functionality. This article uses four case studies to examine this technique in detail and compares its merits and limitations to conventional and other AM/welding techniques.

Is the End of the ICE Age Near?

The internal combustion engine (ICE) has been the world’s dominant form of vehicle propulsion for 100 years and counting. However, global regulatory changes focused on emissions reduction, road safety and fuel-economy improvement are increasing the potential for fully electric, zero-emissions vehicles, which will create a significant disruption to this 100-year-old technology.

A Study on the Forging of AM Parts

Researchers at Ohio University conducted a FIERF-funded inquiry to understand what cold deformation did to additive-manufactured (AM) shapes. This understanding is critical to harnessing the advantages of both processes and improving the mechanical properties of AM parts as AM technologies continue to emerge and mature.

California Hosts 32nd FIERF Technical Conference

A group of forging professionals recently gathered in Long Beach, Calif., to attend the Forging Industry Educational and Research Foundation’s (FIERF) 32nd Technical Conference. Attendees were treated to a great plant tour, two days of technology, and a chance to greet old friends and network with new ones.

Long Beach, Calif., is perhaps best known as the retirement home of the legendary cruise ship Queen Mary, which is permanently moored there and is currently an operating hotel and museum. But on Sept. 11-12, Long Beach hosted some of the forging industry’s best and brightest technical people, industry professionals, suppliers and educators at what was FIERF’s 32nd Technical Conference.
