The “heat checking” phenomenon, which occurs due to thermal fatigue, is one of the
dominant mechanisms in shortening the lifetime of dies which undergo sequential in-service …

Diffusion treatments offer possibilities to enhance the performance and the service lifetime of
hot forging tools. In combination with coating after nitriding, the surface layer hardness can …

Corrugated horn is a kind of key feed component of antenna system, which could be
fabricated by electroforming method. However, the feed horn is becoming more difficult to …

The influence of annealing parameters on microstructure and mechanical properties of AISI
1035 carbon steel is analysed in this work. The specimens were full annealed at different …

The surface layer of hot working tools is subject to alternating thermo-mechanical loads
during forging. It experiences a fast increase in temperature on contact with the heated …

The traditional process of forging is often determined based on experiences which require
repeated testing and repairing of dies. It also involves long production cycle and high …

Forging is classified as a manufacturing process for shaping metals using compressive
forces through methods like hammering or rolling. Forging provides a consistent delivery of …
