Abstract:
In order to meet the performance demands of train lorry, a die forgingdrawing method based on structure features analysis was proposed to form the LA break beam frame. The finite element method was used to simulate a series of dieforging processes and the drawing processes with different parameters. The optimum crosssection shape of the performing die was obtained from these simulation results. It is found that local backflow of the metal is the primary cause of necking defects in drawing. Furthermore, the best drawing speed is determined to be from 87 mm/s to 96 mm/s. The results of trial manufacturing and product detection indicate that employing a die forgingdrawing process to form the monobloc break beam frame is feasible.
