Material Flow Analysis in Radially Forged Automotive Transmission Shaft 16MnCr5 Using Neutron Metrology

Abstract: Radial forging is an open-die forging process utilizing radially moving dies for producing of tubular components with different internal and external profiles. The process has good reliability to produce high integrity forgings with tight tolerance, smooth surface, improved mechanical properties at relatively high production rates and low cost.These bring extensive application potentials in aerospace, automotive, and oil and gas industries. However, establishing the radial forging procedure is still an expensive and time-consuming process based on trial and error, due to the lack understanding of complex deformation characteristics due to non-uniform temperature distribution and phase transformation during forging . As a result of these issues, several type of defects such as surface cracks, fishtail forming, and folding are generated and component may not fit for purpose or service.
