Abstract
In forging analysis, the damage evaluation parameters such as Cockloft and Latham, Oyane
models and so on are very useful for the evaluation of the limitation of the deformation of the
workpiece during the process. For the tool failure, the proper damage parameter has not ever been
proposed yet. The damage to the tool material generally has an anisotropic nature that is related to
the direction of the principal stress, since the tool materials are very hard and brittle.
In the present paper, an anisotropic damage evolution model proposed by the present author is
modified and implemented to the simufact.forming by the user subroutines. Then the evolution of
the anisotropic damage to the cold forging die during the process was calculated using the damage
model. The calculated models are axisymmetric and 3-dimensional ones. The proposed
anisotropic damage model can describe the damage to the tools during the process properly.
1. Introduction
In cold forging, the tools are subjected to cyclic high loadings. As a result, we often experience
premature failure of tool. For example, in cold forward extrusion, the die insert often cause fatigue
cracks, wear and axial cracks due to high loadings [1-3]. Therefore, the exact estimation of the
service life of forging tool is very important for the reduction of total cost of forging operations.
Recently, cemented carbide material such as WC-Co has been often used as the tool material of
cold forging for higher dimensional accuracy of the forgings [4,5]. Therefore, precise constitutive
equation of the cemented carbide material is useful for the more precise calculation of the stress
and service life by finite element method.
In the present paper, the elastic-plastic constitutive equation of cemented carbide material is
proposed with anisotropic damage behavior taken into account. The conventional framework of
thermodynamic theory is employed for the formulation [6-8]. The anisotropic damage is considered
to express the salient stress unilateral behavior of cemented carbide material. Uniaxial behavior
and cold forward extrusion is calculated using the proposed equation for the validation.
2. Constitutive Equations of Tool Materials
In the present paper, the behavior of the WC-Co cemented carbides material is modeled by the
elastic-plastic constitutive equations coupled with anisotropic damage based on the framework of
the irreversible thermodynamics theory for the constitutive equation [6-8].

SIMULATION IN DER UMFORMTECHNIK
In the present study, the strain of the tool material can be decomposed into the elastic and the
plastic parts as follows, as the deformation of the forging tools can be assumed infinitesimal.
= e + p (1)
2.1. Material Damage and Damage Variable
The debonding of the interface between the carbides and the matrix, the fracture of the carbides
and/or matrix as well as the plastic deformation of the matrix will cause the microscopic material
damage of cemented carbides.
The initiation and growth of the material damage depends the direction of the applied stress.
Moreover, the effects of the damage are diminished under compression because of the closure
effect of microcracks. As a result, the strength and toughness under tension are known to be lower
than those under compression.
In the present paper, we employ the second rank symmetric damage tensor D for the description
of the mechanical effect of the three dimensionally distributed microcracks in the material as [7, 8]
D = DIp
I p
I( )I=1

(2)
where DI and pI (I= 1, 2 and 3) are the principal value and principal direction of the damage
variable, respectively.
2.2. Description of Unilateral Characteristic of WC-Co Cemented Carbides
Some researchers have proposed descriptions of the unilateral property of material damage. In the
present paper, we introduce the modified Cauchy stress tensor as [7, 8]

where is the Macauley bracket, and I
and I
(I= l, 2 and 3) are the principal values and
principal direction of stress tensor , respectively.
The modified stress tensor can be written in the global Cartesian coordinate system xi(i= l, 2 and
3) as

where h(K
) is the Heaviside unit function for the principal stress K
, and Q is the direction
cosine between the global Cartesian coordinate system xi and the principal stress coordinate
system.
2.3. Elastic-Damage Constitutive Equation and Thermodynamic Conjugate Forces
According to the conventional procedure of the irreversible thermodynamic formulation [6-8], the
elastic constitutive equation of the damaged material can be obtained as follows:
e = ged( )
=

E0 +

E0M + 2

2 D + D ( ) :

where E0
and 0 are Youngs modulus and Poissons ratio at the initial undamaged state.
Furthermore, M and are hydrostatic stress tensor and deviatoric stress tensor, respectively.
Moreover, 1 and
2are material constants. The first and second terms of the right side of eq.
(10) correspond to the common linear isotropic elastic constitutive equation. The third and fourth
terms express the effects of the anisotropic damage on the elastic behavior of the material.
The thermodynamic conjugate forces, Y, R, XN and Bof the internal state variables D, r, Nand
on the other hand, can be derived as
Y =1 M M( )+2 ( ) , (7)

2.4. Plastic-Damage Constitutive Equation
For the cemented carbide material considered in the present paper, the effect of the damage on
plastic deformation is considered by the use of the effective stress that describes the enhanced
stress effect by the existence of the damage.
The plastic potential Fp and yield surface fp is given as follows by use of the effective stress

Then, the evolution of damage can be prescribed as
D = d

where d and are the unknown multiplier determined by the consistency condition on the

d, and magnitude of the damage development related to the fatigue, respectively.

where nd , Kd0 and bd are material constants. The value of Y0is the threshold of the evolution of
damage by fatigue. Therefore, the Y0can be calculated by eqs.(11) and (22) with the fatigue limit
f .
An equivalent damage variable Deq is introduced in the present study as
Deq
= D : D . (26)
The material is assumed to attain to final fracture when the equivalent damage variable Deq
reaches the threshold value Dcr.
3. Uniaxial loading of cemented carbides material
3.1. Cemented Carbides Material
Uniaxial loading behaviors of WC-Co cemented carbide material are calculated by use of the
proposed constitutive equation. In the present case, x3axis is the direction of loading, and x1and x2
axes are on the cross section of the test specimen.
The cemented carbide material G7 (WC: 75%, Co: 25%, San Alloy Industry Company, Japan) was
selected in order to compare the experimental results by Brndsted et. al [4] and Skov-Hansen et.
al [5]. This material was GT55 type hot isostatiscally pressed. From the literatures, Initial Youngs
modulus E0and Poissons ratio n0were selected as

E0 = 470GPa, 0 = 0.3 . (27)
The material constants in eqs. (7) - (17) were determined so that the proposed constitutive
equation can describe the uniaxial tension and compression of the cemented carbides G7 as
follows:

3.2 Results and Discussion
Figure 1 shows the experimental and calculated results of stress-strain curves under uniaxial
tension. The development of damage components is also shown. The tensile strength is about
1700MPa. We can observe the good agreement between the experimental and calculated results.
We can also observe the damage component D33is larger than D11= D22.
Figure 2shows the experimental and calculated results of stress-strain and damage components-
strain curves under uniaxial compression. The compressive strength of the material is
approximately 3200MPa. We can observe that the damage components D11= D22is dominant in
the compression case. It can be predicted from the result that microcracks parallel to the loading
direction are predominantly developed and cause the final fracture under the uniaxial compression,
which will occur to most brittle materials.

4. AXISYMMETRIC FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS ON COLD FORGING DIE DURING COLD
FORWARD EXTRUTION PROCESS
4.1 Finite Element Model and Material Properties of Workpiece and Shrink Ring
Mechanical and damage behavior of the cemented carbide used as a die-insert of cold forward
extrusion die set is evaluated by FEM in the present paper.
Figure 3 shows the schematic example of typical fatigue, fracture and wear of cold forward
extrusion die (Engel, 1994). From the figure, the different anisotropic damage components can be
expected to describe the different fracture behaviors; forced rupture (axial crack) and fatigue
fracture (radial crack), as the directions of the crack propagation are different.
Figure 3: Typical failure of cold forward extrusion die-insert [1].
In the present chapter, therefore, the proposed constitutive equation will be applied to the
calculation of the damage state of cold forward extrusion die made of WC-Co cemented carbide.
A commercial FE code MSC. Marc 2005 was used for the calculation. The constitutive anddamage evolution equations of the die material are implemented by the user subroutines provided
in the code, HYPELA2, ELEVAR and so on (MSC Software, 2005).
Figure 4shows the geometries and discretization of the die set and workpiece used in the present
calculation. In the finite element analysis, axisymmetric model was used. The x1, x2and x3axes of
Cartesian coordinate system correspond to the axial, radial, and circumferential directions of the
die-insert, respectively. This figure shows the case of the die-angle = 120. In the present
calculations, both the die-angle of = 90 and 120 were performed in order to examine the effect
of the die-angle on the damage behavior of the die-insert. Punch and knockout-pin were modeled
as rigid boundaries

For materials of die insert and shrink ring, WC-Co G7 and SKD61 (in JIS) were selected. Only
elastic property is used in the SKD61, Youngs modulus and Poissons ratio are set to 206GPa and
0.3.
Figure 4: Geometry and discretization of analyzed model of cold forward extrusion (in case of
die-angle = 120).
As the workpiece material, SS400 (in JIS) was used. The elastic and plastic properties of thematerial are given as follows;
E =206GPa, =0.29 , (29)
=285.0+ 461.0 ep 1.38104( )0.286
(30)
where ep is the equivalent plastic strain of the workpiece material calculated by Equation (25).
The usage of the shrink ring is effective avoiding the onset of forced rupture (axial cracking). The
interference of shrink fit between the die-insert and shrink ring was set to 0.1mm.
The axisymmetric triangular and quadrilateral elements were employed for the extrusion die set
and the workpiece, respectively. The numbers of elements of the die-insert, shrink ring and
workpiece are 3093, 114 and 2739, respectively. The numbers of nodes of the die insert, shrink
ring and workpiece are 1606, 72 and 4442, respectively.
4.2 Results of Development of Damage Components and Discussion
Figure 5shows the distribution of damage components D11, D22, D12 and D33 in case of the die-
angle = 120when the length of the extruded region attains 5.3mm; the corresponding punch
stroke is S= 2.1mm. Although the D11, D22and D12show almost same values, their distributions are
slightly different. This means that one principal damage value is in the plane of x1-x2, and the

principal direction is around 45from x1axis. The D33is another principal damage value, and it can
describe the possibility of the forced rupture (axial cracking) in Figure 6. In this case, the D33 is
dominant damage component. Therefore, the axial cracking may occur in spite of the shrink fitting.
Table 1shows the principal damage value D1, D
2and D
3(= D
33), and the angle of D

1-
axis at each and S. In case of die-angle = 90, the damage component D33is very small value of
6.01310-5 at even the punch stroke of S = 2.95mm. This means the possibility of the forced
rupture (axial cracking) can hardly be encountered. It can be also observed that the principal
damageD1, which stands for the fatigue damage in the region of die radius, is 0.368 and 0.324 in
each a. Therefore, the residual life to the onset of the fatigue damage will be similar in each die-
insert. Furthermore, the angle of principal axis 1 from x1axis, which stands for the direction of the
propagation of fatigue crack, can be found almost same in each case.

5. THREE-DIMENSIONAL FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS ON ANISOTROPIC DAMAGE OF
FORGING DIE DURING COLD FORWARD EXTRUTION PROCESS
The anisotropic damage model proposed in the present paper was applied to the calculation of
damage of forging die of cold forward extrusion process.
Figure 6shows the one-sixth model of cold forward extrusion dies. The material of die-insert was
WC-Co (25%) same as used in Chapter 4. The cylindrical workpiece was extruded to the
hexagonal cylinder. The die angle was 90.
In the present calculation, only the damage evolution was calculated. The plastic property and
coupled elastic-damage effect was neglected since they were not significant in the present case.
The FE software simufact-forming 10 (GP version) was used for calculation. The user subroutines
were also accompanied. The punch strokeS
was set to 20mm.

Figure 6: Three-dimensional finite element extrusion model for analysis of die damage (one-
sixth model. Punch and shrink ring are not displayed): (a) discretized workpiece and die, (b)
dicretized die.
Figure. 7shows the distribution of equivalent plastic strain of workpiece and maximal principal
stress of die-insert at S= 20mm. Large maximal principal stress is observed at the region of vertex
of hexagonal inlet of die-insert, from which the fatigue fracture is supposed to start.
Figure. 8 shows the distribution of components of damage. The D11, D22 and D33 imply the
possibility of onset of cracks perpendicular to radial, circumferential and axial direction of die-insert,
respectively. From the figure, the D22 is largest among these components. Therefore, fatigue
fracture by the cracks perpendicular circumferential direction at the region around the vertex of
hexagonal inlet of the die-insert is supposed to be most possible. This prediction is consistent to
the prediction of fracture by the maximal principal stress of the conventional method for prediction
of tool fracture. The damage component proposed in the present paper, however, can indicate the

more useful for the prediction.

6. CONCLUSIONS
The elastic-plastic-damage constitutive equations of WC-Co material for cold forging tools were
proposed. The constitutive equation can predict the uniaxial tension, compression and cyclic
loading behaviors with good accordance. From the result of the finite element analysis of cold
forward extrusion with the die insert made of WC-Co using the proposed equations, we can specify
the possible fracture behavior of the die insert. In three dimensional calculation, the proposed
damage model can be useful for the prediction of fatigue fracture of forging tools.
