Abstract
In this study, the preform and die designs of hot forging process were proposed for a long-flat slide block. This block is assembled to the linear slide for carrying the moving table. Three different billet geometry designs were proposed to obtain good die filling. The volume of the flash is limited to 30% with a flash thickness design in 3 mm. The forging die was designed with four ejectors to push up the forged part smoothly. The proposed billet geometries and die design were evaluated using CAE simulation. The simulation results indicated that the suitable perform design is able to achieve better material flow. The flash flow control is able to reduce the forming load and improve the die filling. The forging experiments were carried out to verify the proposed method, the experiment results showed good agreement with the CAE simulations.
