Thermal Analysis of Complex Die for Lug Preparation Subjected To Impact Loads

Abstract

Forging dies are usually made of high-alloy or tool steel. Dies must be impact resistant, wear resistant maintain strength at high temperatures, and have the ability to withstand cycles of rapid heating and cooling. By considering the thermal heat flux generation at critical areas of complex component production analysis optimization is needed to estimate life cycle analysis. Present paper describes modeling and thermal analysis of bottom die of lug component for 1 ton hammer load to check the thermal contour regions. The modeling done in UNI-graphics NX 8.0 and the analysis carried out in ANSYS work bench. This will compared with practical results to get optimum accurate coincidence of life cycle.
