Flange Bolt
DEFORM™-3D used to upgrade the cold forming of the flange bolt from round steel wire utilizing a four-blow movement on a high-speed cold header.
The first outline/process was recreated. DEFORM gave grain flow, plastic strain and damage models to the User, which associated well with the known quality issue (flexible break) of the first outline. Upgrades were reenacted, with a target of diminishing the Damage value.
The reproduced models cost less than shop trials, as no tooling is required. In cases with occasional failures, the field factors can be utilized to survey the likelihood of a change for a given outline. DEFORM simulations of this sort of process can be run quicker than shop trials requiring new tooling (one day versus days or weeks). All the more vitally, DEFORM gives more data than any shop trial.
