Forging References

Oct 05, 2003 4 Replies

Hi, I am a student of manufacturing engineering. I want ot know some references for Forging,its molds and its softwares. I can work with ANSYS and CATIA but I think these softwares are not enough for forging. please guide me for those i said. And please introduce me the sites about forging. thanks.


The simplest tutorial on forging is to get a hammer and some pieces of different metals, and an anvil.

Then start banging away.

Nest, get snother piece or two of metal that looks like a die. Place on top of the metal and bang away.

You might use a torch and heat the metal to a "softening" temperature and also bang away.

Now you will know physically what forging is.

I suggest that you visit a library for books.

An hour in the library is worth a week in the laboratory.

An hour in the library is worth a day searching for web sites.

You might be able to ride a horse to the library.

However, if you insist, use a laptop (on a horse or a desk) and go to :

Be careful not to learn anything about materials from any of those dangerous sites.

There are various specialised packages around for analysis of such problems. Spend a few minutes with Google. As an example looks to be in the right area (NB I have no personal experience of it) but there are several others.

Or, the horse's farrier might know a little bit about the subject.
