Physical modelling and numerical finite element method (FEM) simulation of forging in open die of alloy AIMgSi0,5

This paper researches the process of forging in open die of gradual axial-symmetric workpiece made of alloy AIMg-Si0,5. The physical modelling was carried out, for which an original method for physical discretisation and numerical FEM analysis was developed. The components of tensor were determined: strain, strain rate, stress and the corresponding effective parameters. The results obtained experimentally and through a numerical FEM simulation were compared and analysed.
