Die Failure Prevention (1)
• The part is produced by forward can extrusion. Tool life was only a few.

Die Failure Prevention (3)
• Analyses showed that the corner of the die needs to have a positive pre-stress.
• On the figure at the right, the new idea to prolong the die life is sketched; the parameters h and ∆z are to be optimized
• The tooling is mounted to the rest of the die part with a bolt. The prestressing effect of the bolt has been also taken into account
• Optimized configuration at max. punch load. Tooling is still in use
Principal max. stress dist.

Cave on the Product Wall (1)
• During cold forming, bottom and the side walls of the product were deflected
• The whole process has been modeled, including ejection process
forming ejection
• The FE results were identical with the actual product.

Cave on the Product Wall (2)
• The previous product is milled to obtain an aluminum frame.
• To detect if the movement of the chuck causes permanent plastic deformation on the frame, an analysis has been performed on (cold forged + trimmed) part.

Chuck movement
• A small amount of plastic shape change has been detected because of the chuck movement.

Conclusion
• Especially with its accuracy, Simufact has been selected as metal forming simulation tool by alutec.
• Sucking type failures could be correctly visualized by flowlines
• In 3D applications, FV solution serves a quick evaluation method. But the ultimate results must be verified with FE, unless the process has extreme complexity.
• In some cases, the exact reason of a problem might be understood only if the whole cold forming process history is modeled.
• GP_GUI must be preserved in simufact product group. Its advanced applications and postprocessing capabilities are unique.
