Flashless Forging
Impression die forging is
sometimes performed in totally enclosed impressions. The process is used
to produce a near-net or net shape forging. The dies make no provision
for flash because the process does not depend on the formation of flash
to achieve complete filling. Actually, a thin fin or ring of flash may
form in the clearance between the upper punch and die, but it is easily
removed by blasting or tumbling operations, and does not require a trim
die. The process is therefore called "flashless forging", and is
sometimes called "enclosed die forging".
Enclosed dies are illustrated in Figure 5-14. In some cases the lower die may be split, allowing as-forged undercuts. Split die arrangements are illustrated in Figure 5-15.
The absence of flash is an obvious advantage for flashless forging over the conventional impression die process, but the process imposes additional requirements. For example, flashless forging is usually accomplished in one operation, and does not allow for progressive development of difficult-to-forge features through several stages of metal flow. In addition, the volume of metal in the workpiece must be controlled within very narrow limits to achieve complete filling of the cavity without developing extreme pressures. It takes some very well controlled preforming steps to accomplish this precise weight control in the final die.
