Finite element analysis of chromium and nickel alloyed steel billets forged under warm forming process using Deform-3D

ABSTRACT

Deform-3D is effective software for predicting flow of material in large deformation applications in absence of expense and time delays associated with shop trials. The Deform-3D software is used to build a 3D finite element open die forging model using warm forming process. Pre-processing, simulation, and post-processing are all phases that can be used to simulate. 17Cr-13Ni-2Mo and 17Cr-5Ni-5Mo-Ti alloyed steel billets were taken to perform analysis. Under warm forming allowable temperatures of 250°C, 500°C, and 750°C, simulation was performed using software. After 30 steps of simulation, results such as damage, strain effective, effective stress, total velocity, total displacement, and final Temperature are reported from the post-processing module. From results, comparative analysis will be carried out on performance characteristics at different billet temperatures. The Deform-3D software is used for finite element simulation during the forming process to accurately predict the deformation.
