Assistant Design Engineer Interview Question:

Explain me what are the points that should be kept in mind during forging design?

Submitted by: Muhammad

Some of the points that should be followed while forging design are:
☛ > A radial flow of grains or fibers must be achieved in the forged components.
☛ > The forged items such as drop and press forgings should have a parting line that should divide the forging into two equal halves.
☛ > The ribs in a forging should not be high or thin.
☛ > In order to avoid increased die wear the pockets and recesses in forgings should be minimum.
☛ > In forgings the parting line of it should lie as far as possible in a single plane.
☛ > For ease of forging and easy removal of forgings the surfaces of the metal should contain sufficient drafts.
