Abstract

Casting and forging are among the technologies with the highest material and energy requirements. Many efforts have been made to minimise the expenditures involved, but in most cases they have been limited to the individual application case. While the combination of casting and forming processes has been described and applied extensively for aluminium components, this approach has been far less investigated and advanced for steel components. The latest developments in the software with a direct interface between casting and forming simulation enabled the creation of a continuous simulation from the casting to the finished forged part. The match between the simulation and the real component was verified on the basis of manufactured sample parts. Currently ongoing investigations focus on the formation of the microstructure in the component. At the same time, the process chain casting - forging is being developed and evaluated for a further component. This approach overcomes existing limits and opens up new possibilities for component design by linking simulations of casting and forging technologies into an integrated continuous process chain simulation.

Abstract

Während für Aluminiumbauteile die Kombination von Ur- und Umformprozess bereits näher beschrieben und umgesetzt wurde, ist für Bauteile aus Stahl eine solche Vorgehensweise bisher kaum untersucht worden. Die neusten Entwicklungen von Schnittstellen zwischen Gieß- und Schmiedesimulation im Softwarebereich erlauben den Aufbau einer durchgängigen Simulation vom Abguss bis zum Schmiedeteil, welche am Beispiel einer Schaltgabel nachvollzogen wurde. Die Verifizierung der Simulationsergebnisse erfolgte anhand eines real gefertigten Bauteiles.

Die derzeit laufenden Untersuchungen konzentrieren sich auf die Abbildung der Mikrostruktur im Bauteil sowie den Aufbau der Prozesskette Gießen - Schmieden für ein weiteres Bauteil.
