Temperature Monitoring During Forging Process

Abstract

This article deals with the measurement of the thermal behaviour of the mechanical forging press. The forging process is causing thermal changes. The temperature of the forged part can reach 1100 – 1200 °C during the hot forging. Heat transfer is causing thermal deformations of individual parts and it can change clearance in the guidance. It is decreasing the accuracy of press. Demands on the accuracy are nowadays more significant and therefore is necessary to solve problem with thermal deformations.
