ComForge®
Intelligent forging technology suite
The ComForge® Forging Technology Suite assists you throughout the process, starting from pass schedule calculation up to optimizing material properties. It consists of three primary applications: PassSchedule Calculator, PassSchedule Analyzer, and the recently introduced Property Predictor. This software provides solutions to address the key challenges in radial forging:
- Maximum process efficiency: Short forging times and energy saving by avoiding reheating cycles
- Improvement of microstructure: Ensure sufficient deformation in the workpiece’s core and surface for a fine-grained recrystallized microstructure
- Closure of pores and voids from casting: Closing and welding of inner pores to prevent the formation of cracks
The newly developed ComForge® Property Predictor, is our advanced technology module within ComForge®, which allows a detailed calculation and analysis of radial forging processes regarding the material properties.
Benefits
- Comprehensive database for trouble-free and technologically proven forging processes
- Various forging strategies for the production of round, square and rectangular bars using different tool sets
- Temperature and strain distribution in radial forging within seconds for any give pass-schedule
- Economic benefit by enabling shortening process chains, reduced personnel requirements and so reduction of safety margins within the process
