Digital design modeling can be reliably used as a design aid in the thermomechanical processing of forged parts. In this analysis, models were used to simulate metal flow and thermal behavior while considering the possibility of cracking hazards and the prediction of structural behavior in the heat-treated steel. The simulation reduced scrap by 50%, eliminated potential defects and allowed the forging to be produced on a smaller press.
To stay competitive, forgers must continuously integrate advanced manufacturing technologies into their production. Long gone are the days when forging was simply a means of shaping metal.
World-class scientists with high-performance computing capabilities at the Department of Energy’s (DOE) national laboratories are partnering with U.S. industries to tackle some of manufacturing’s toughest problems.
In this case study, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is working in partnership with Purdue University Northwest and steel-industry stakeholders to use their high-performance computing (HPC) modeling, simulation and visualization capabilities to optimize blast furnaces in order to reduce emissions and energy use.
New process development or the redesign of an underperforming job gives engineers a chance to investigate process influences and design alternatives. Examples of how process simulation has been used in design-optimization projects are detailed.
In this second of two articles, the benefits of manufacturing execution systems (MES), with or without a current enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, are covered in detail.
In June’s issue, we opened the topic of MES/ERP systems by discussing what they are and how they are used in today’s business climate. The majority of forge companies today continue to discuss the need to establish information integration that is coordinated and summarized among their various departments.
In this first of two articles, the definitions and differences between enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and manufacturing execution systems (MES) are considered.
It is no secret that for some time now the U.K. forging sector has been under pressure. Traditional forging houses are struggling when it comes to integrating new technologies.
