Abstract

In metal forming processes, automatic selection of forming tools is heavily depended on the estimation of forming forces. Due to complex relationships between processes parameters like die angle, co-efficient of friction, velocity of dies, and temperature of billet for forming products with sound quality and forming forces related, there is a need to develop approximate models to estimate the forming forces without complex mathematical models or time-consuming simulation techniques. In this paper, an Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) model has been developed for rapid predication of the forming forces based on process parameters. The results obtained are found to correlate well with the finite element simulation data in case of hot extrusion.
