Flash Design Optimization In Blade Forging Using FEM Method

Blade forging has been studied and solved by elastic‐plastic FEM code. The FEM method has been recently developed as one of the most powerful tools for the analysis and numerical simulation of forging processes. In this research, as a starting point, designing flash land in blade forging recommendations for flash land dimensioning is presented. The FEM method has been applied for simulation and analysis of closed die forging with respect to flash formation at the end of final impression filling for forging of a blade. Finally the best equation of flash dimension is suggested.
