Fig. 9

The most common forging defects and exemplary results of forging defect detection obtained from FEM, using the “folds” function (laps): (A) visible laps on the arms and in the shank during preliminary die forging; (B) wrong arrangement in the die (too high) – laps on the arms, (C) too strong flattening of the tip (laps on the corners and in the mandrel). FEM, finite element method.
