Workability Behaviour of Fe-C-Mo Steel Preforms During Cold Forging

A systematic method to construct the workability diagram for powder metallurgy (P/M) materials has been proposed. Preforms of Fe-0.8 %C, Fe-0.8% C-1% Mo and Fe-0.8 % C 2 % Mo were prepared to the relative den-sity of 0.86 with two different geometries through primary operations of P/M processes. Eac...

Summary:A systematic method to construct the workability diagram for powder metallurgy (P/M) materials has been proposed. Preforms of Fe-0.8 %C, Fe-0.8% C-1% Mo and Fe-0.8 % C 2 % Mo were prepared to the relative den-sity of 0.86 with two different geometries through primary operations of P/M processes. Each sintered preform was cold upset forged with incremental compressive loading of 0.04 MN under three different lubricant conditions till a visible crack appeared at the free surface. Oyane's fracture criterion was used to develop a theory to study P/M prod-ucts. The least square method was used to determine the constants in fracture criteria and these equations were even- tually used to construct workability diagram. It is found that the proposed method was well in agreement with the experimental results.
