This present research work deals with the analysis of the design of different specimen geometries so that by finite volume simulations, the appearance of cracks may be predicted in the case of forging processes. To this end, each of the geometries selected are studied by means of compression tests between plane shape dies in the same conditions (T = 25 ºC). On the one hand, a value for the critical damage value is obtained by applying the Cockroft-Latham’s criterion and on the other hand, a damage distribution along all the specimen volume with the aim of defining a specimen which shows the most likely place for the crack to appear. This crack location may be also determined through visual inspection with the aim of being able to evaluate this experimentally in the near future.

Spacing roughness parameters analysis on the EDM of Inconel (R) 600 alloy

Many research studies may be found regarding the measurement of surface roughness parameters. Most of them are focused on amplitude parameters as they are the most commonly used in industry, while little research has been found on the spacing ones. Spacing roughness parameters measure the horizontal characteristics of the surface deviations. In this present study, the influence of current intensity, pulse time and duty cycle on spacing roughness parameters Sm and Pc has been analyzed. Design of experiments techniques are used in order to both model and predict the most influential factors by using a small number of experiments. Current intensity of 2 A, pulse time of 25 mu s and duty cycle of 0.5 are selected as the best machining conditions in order to obtain the lowest surface roughness.

Design and optimization of the dies for the isothermal forging of a cam
(Elsevier, 2015) Salcedo Pérez, Daniel; Luis Pérez, Carmelo Javier; Luri Irigoyen, Rodrigo; León Iriarte, Javier; Puertas Arbizu, Ignacio; Fuertes Bonel, Juan Pablo; Ingeniería Mecánica, Energética y de Materiales; Mekanika, Energetika eta Materialen Ingeniaritza
In the present study, the design of the dies required for the isothermal forging of a cam is analysed by finite volume method. Specifically, cams are of great importance in automotive industry, where a lower weight and an improvement in the lubrication or in the materials to be in contact lead to a significant reduction in the fuel cost. The flow stress curves of one Al-Mg alloy were firstly determined by using compression tests. Once these flow stress curves were obtained, FV simulation was employed. In the forging process, the optimum die configuration has been selected. To this end, several aspects have been taken into account such as the force required for the forging, the correct die filling, the introduced plastic strain and the damage imparted to the billet.

Spacing roughness parameters analysis on the EDM of TiB2
(Elsevier, 2017) Torres Salcedo, Alexia; Luis Pérez, Carmelo Javier; Puertas Arbizu, Ignacio; Ingeniería Mecánica, Energética y de Materiales; Mekanika, Energetika eta Materialen Ingeniaritza
Titanium diboride (TiB2) is a novel sintered ceramic material which has attracted a great deal of interest because of its excellent mechanical properties, wear resistance and chemical resistance. At present, this ceramic is used in specialized applications in such areas as impact resistant armor, cutting tools, crucibles and wear resistant coatings. In this present research work, effects of current intensity, pulse time and duty cycle on the spacing roughness parameters Sm and Pc have been studied. In addition, statistical tools based on the design of experiments as well as multiple linear regression techniques have been used. Experimental results suggest that the optimal conditions to obtain a minimum Sm of 52.60 gm and a maximum Pc of 190.60 cm(-1) were: 2 A, 5 mu s and 0.4, respectively, for current intensity, pulse time and duty cycle.
