Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for forging a workpiece, which is processed by means of rotationally symmetrically arranged, radially acting on the workpiece forging tools in a plurality of stitches with at least partially opposite feed direction, as is known from FR 2 147 980 A1 is known.
  • the deformations of the workpiece and the resulting flow conditions depend on the geometry of the forging tools. If forging tools are used in which the forming surfaces facing the feed direction of the workpiece are inclined relative to the forging axis, a comparatively large reduction in cross section per stitch can be achieved, which means a reduction in the number of stitches required for a given reduction in cross section and thus a reduction in forging time allowed, in particular when the workpiece is machined alternately with opposite feed direction, so that empty feeds of the workpiece can be avoided.
  • Such forging with successive stitches with opposite feed direction requires symmetrically designed forging tools with respect to their longitudinal center.
  • the reduction in cross section per stitch is limited by the width of the molding surface, so that forging a workpiece with predetermined final dimensions a larger number of stitches than forged tools with inclined mold surfaces is required.
  • the forging tools have a wedge shape in cross-section perpendicular to the forging axis, which in inclined forming surfaces to a Broadening of the mold surfaces with increasing distance from the forging axis leads.
  • due to the force effects of the differently oriented opposite the workpiece molding surfaces of the forging tools different voltages in the workpiece and thus different flow conditions, which may be important in some cases.
  • the forging hammers have differently inclined forming surfaces for the opposite directions of advance, so that after forging the slab to the end section, the slab is pulled out of the forging area in the main feed direction with the forge hammers open, and then the unblended end section of front end of the slab ago against the main feed direction can be finished by the forging hammers.
  • Such a forging method is not suitable for forging workpieces in multiple passes.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of specifying a forging method which is suitable for low quantities and opens the possibility to have a special influence on the microstructure throughout the forging area.
  • the invention solves the stated object in that the workpiece is deformed depending on the feed direction with differently inclined mold surfaces of the forging tools.
  • a further advantageous influence on the forging behavior can be achieved in that the workpiece is deformed by means of a plurality of mutually opposite with respect to the forging axis paired opposed forging tools, which process the workpiece, at least in successive stitch groups successively or simultaneously.
  • the successive use of the pairwise operated forging tools can be advantageously used in particular in pipe production, because for the production of a hollow preform, the successive action of the pairs of tools on the workpiece per stitch brings advantages in terms of expansion of the hollow body with it.
  • the further processing of the preform can then be carried out in the usual way with the help of the simultaneously used forging tools.
  • the illustrated forging apparatus has conventionally a frame 1 with four opposite each other in pairs with respect to a forging axis 2 forging tools 3, which are acted upon by adjusting drives radially to the forging axis 2 and equipped with forging hammers 4.
  • the adjusting drives for the paired forging tools 3 can be operated simultaneously or at a time interval, depending on the selected forging process for the tool pairs, so that the workpiece 5 are processed simultaneously or in sections by the distributed over its circumference forging tools.
  • the workpiece 5 is detected by means of clamping devices 6 each end and rotated about the forging axis 2.
  • the clamping devices 6 themselves are on Supported carriage 7, which are movable along guides 8 and provide for opposite feed directions of the workpiece 5.
  • feed direction 9 of the forging hammer 4 forms a sloping inclined to the workpiece 5 mold surface 10, which merges into a parallel to the forging axis 2 forming surface 11.
  • the inclined mold surface 10 can, unlike the embodiment, also have two or more sections with different inclination.
  • the shaping surfaces 10, 11 deviating from a planar course in adaptation to the workpiece to be forged can also be conical or cylindrical.
  • the axis-parallel shaping surface 11 forms the inlet-side shaping surface, which is decisive for workpiece machining, for the opposite feed direction 12, as shown in FIG Fig. 3 is shown.
  • From the dash-dotted line outline of the workpiece in front of the illustrated forging stroke of the forging hammer 4 shows that the deformed per Schmiedehub volume elements 13 are different and that due to the different force effects due to the different orientations of the forming surfaces 10, 11 relative to the workpiece 5 results in different forming conditions, which can be utilized by combination due to a suitable sequence of feed directions 9, 12 in a variety of ways to achieve certain material properties.
  • 8 stitches can be provided according to the invention, wherein the first four stitches, the diameter stepwise to 325, 295, 255 and 217 mm, are performed with the feed direction 9, in order to achieve a high cross-sectional reduction due to the inclined mold surface 10.
  • the subsequent four stitches are made alternately with the feed directions 12 and 9, wherein in the feed direction 12 according to the Fig. 3
  • the workpiece diameter is reduced from 217 to 192 mm. In the subsequent three passes with alternating feed direction 9, 12 then the workpiece diameter can be reduced to 163 and 138 mm and finally to the final diameter of 122 mm.
