PREFORMS Benefits
Design preform die shapes to achieve complete die fill.
Reduce material waste, i.e. achieve a net shape forging process by optimizing material utilization and minimize flash.
Eliminate surface defects, i.e. laps and voids.
Eliminate internal defects, i.e. shear cracks and poor microstructure.
Minimize effective strain and strain-rate variance in workpiece.
Design optimal process parameters such as forming rate (die velocity) as well as initial workpiece and die temperatures.

MethodologiesMethodologies
Two distinct design strategies for preform design:
Backward Tracing Method
Numerical Optimization Method
![Page 8: PREFORMS - PReform Engineering using Forward and Reverse Modeling Simulation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568136a7550346895d9e4bf0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Backward Tracing MethodBackward Tracing Method
Starts with final shape (die filled).
Simulation is conducted in reverse.
Preform shape evolves as material is released from dies.
Path is not unique.• Requires boundary node detachment criterion
Resulting shape depends on the detachment criteria used.
![Page 9: PREFORMS - PReform Engineering using Forward and Reverse Modeling Simulation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568136a7550346895d9e4bf0/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Backward Tracing MethodBackward Tracing Method
Divide die surfaces into a number of straight line or arc segments.
Record the time at which each die segment comes into contact with the workpiece during the forward simulation with a trial preform shape.
Modify the recorded time sequence if the trial preform does
not satisfy the design objectives.• Die fill requirements• Flash size requirements• Material flow characteristics
The modified contact time sequence is then used as the boundary node detachment criterion for the backward deformation simulation.
![Page 10: PREFORMS - PReform Engineering using Forward and Reverse Modeling Simulation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568136a7550346895d9e4bf0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Modification GuidelinesModification Guidelines
Multi-Cavity Forging: Contact time of earliest filled cavity is reduced to allow all
cavities to be filled at the same time.
Underfilled Cavity: Contact time of underfilled die segment is defined as time
of final stroke. Contact times of adjacent die segments are reduced to the closest die segment where time is defined.
![Page 11: PREFORMS - PReform Engineering using Forward and Reverse Modeling Simulation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568136a7550346895d9e4bf0/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Modification GuidelinesModification Guidelines
Cavity-Fill Before Final Stroke: Contact times of all die segments reduced by same value.
Value is the difference between the final stroke and the time at fill.
Large Flash: Contact time for outermost die segments (flash) is the
time at which upper die is at required final position.
