INVESTIGATE THE BULGING EFFECT OF METALLIC SOLID CYLINDER UNDER COLD UPSETTING USING FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS
Abstract: Friction is an integral part of metalworking and manufacturing processes due to the relative motion and forces continually acting on tools, dies, and workpieces. Friction both raises the effort and consumes energy. However, measuring friction is not straightforward and cannot be considered an independent parameter. In many metal-forming procedures, the impact of friction is just as crucial as other quantifiable factors. Various methods have been used to estimate friction, assuming …
