DEFORM Cogging Module

Cogging is an open die forging process used to convert a cast ingot into forged billet. A typical process involves hundreds of local reductions, along the length of the billet, spanning several heats. Process simulation can involve hundreds or thousands of deformation and heat transfer models. While possible, a manual setup is tedious and impractical. To address this challenge, a dedicated Cogging Module is available to enable a user to set up this complex simulation in minutes.

This module is extensively used by leading material suppliers to analyze the ingot conversion process. Standard billet, die and manipulator geometries are included. Process parameters include number of heats, pass schedule, ingot rotation, bite size and the time between bites and passes. A simulation setup preview is provided to identify potential errors. This enables the user to run the complete cogging simulation without user intervention. The Cogging module runs in conjunction with DEFORM-3D.
