Forging Die Design of a Connecting Rod

Abstract

Forging is a process in which to transform the shape of metal using heat and localized compressive forces.die is the shaping part of the forging process. The project work emphasizes on the design and development of forging die. Before going to the die design principle, a detailed study is conducted on forging processes, forging equipments, forging dies and materials. After studying the various aspects involved in the die design, die design for connecting rod is made. Here in the design of forging die, the product is made most accurately so as to get the forged product free from all defects and as per the requirements given in the product drawing. In industrial view the forging die for connecting rod helps for the mass production of product without any defects of the material after forging. For the analysis of die defects all the required data are collected and based on this study the suitable actions should be suggested for reducing the die failures and for increasing the die life for connecting rod. The product thus obtained by forging is at good strength and free from any defects.
