摘要
Over the last decade, the use of computers in the forging industry has increased at an incredible rate. Historical trends through the 1980's will be discussed leading up to the current "state of the art". Prior to this decade, the industry was heavily experience-based. In the eighties, a number of factors including computer hardware costs, government funding, competitive pressures and ingenuity led to dramatic technical developments. The use of finite element methods for modelling the metal forming process, heat transfer and die stress analysis are becoming common among larger and more advanced metalworking firms. In this paper, the author intends to present a view of these events from an industry perspective, along with examples from the application of these tools.
