Embodiment Construction

[0020] Unlike traditional forging dies, which are ground from solid blocks of material, the presently disclosed forging dies can be assembled from individual layers of material, which saves time and cost compared to traditional forging dies, Details are as follows. figure 1 An example of a system 10 is shown schematically and generally includes a forging die 12 formed from a first die half 14 and a second die half 16 . First mold half 14 and / or second mold half 16 may include mold cavities (e.g., first mold cavity 18 formed in first mold half 14 and / or second mold cavity formed in second mold half 16 20 ), the mold cavity configured to receive at least a portion of the preform 22 . When so configured, first mold half 14 and second mold half 16 may be press forged together, forcing preform 22 to form the desired part during the forging process. Generally, in the figures, elements that may be included in a given example are shown in solid lines, while elements that are optiona...

Abstract

The invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing parts and related methods. A forging die is formed from a plurality of layers stacked together to form an assembly, or laminate. Each respectivelayer may be cut to form a portion of a die cavity, and the layers may be stacked together such that the cut portions are aligned to form the die cavity. The layers are fastened together to form a first die half and / or a second die half of disclosed forging die. Each layer may be selectively removable from the die half for maintenance and / or replacement. Disclosed forging die may be formed of lower grade materials as compared to conventional forging dies, and the number and thickness of layers may be varied to accommodate the specific part geometry of the part being forged. Related methods ofmaking the forging die and using the forging die to make parts are also disclosed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to apparatus and related methods for making parts, namely forging dies for forging parts, methods of making said forging dies, and methods of making parts using said forging dies. Background technique [0002] Parts can be manufactured by a forging process in which localized compressive forces are used in a forging die and / or heated dies and / or metal forming metals. Forging dies are usually made by removing material from a solid block of an expensive grade of steel (often called tool steel) to form a cavity in it. The process of making dollies is often slow and time-consuming because tool steel is difficult to cut and remove to form the cavity. Tools used to cut cavities in forging dies may suffer from low cutting tool life due to the nature of the tool steel being cut. Additionally, the materials used to make forging dies are often expensive and difficult to obtain. In addition, storage and maintenance costs for forgi...
