Simulation Research on Die Forging Process Optimization of the FDN Type Anti-vibration Hammer Head in UHV Transmission Lines

Traditional anti-vibration hammer heads are mainly manufactured by gravity casting technology, which has many internal defects and limited mechanical properties, which cannot meet the technical requirements for higher-strength anti-vibration hammers in the construction of UHV transmission lines. Die forging is an advanced material forming process for producing low defect and high strength anti-vibration hammer. However, the process parameters should be strictly controlled to realize the complete filling of forgings and reduce the damage of forgings and dies.In this paper, the die forging process of the FDN type anti-vibration hammer head was simulated by using Deform-3D software platform, and the optimal forging process parameters were proposed as follows: the diameter of the blank is 65mm, the length of the blank is 184mm, the pressing speed of the upper die is 200mm/s, and the preheating temperature range of the blank is 800?∼1000?. The mechanical properties of the anti-vibration hammer after process optimization met the requirements of the corresponding strength grade products.
