Abstract

To produce preforms for complex long flat parts with an unsteady mass distribution along the longitudinal axis rolling processes, like cross wedge rolling, can be used. Tools for cross wedge rolling processes can be designed as roller or flat, both with wedges. In the collaborative research project SFB 489 "Process chain for the production of precision forged high performance parts" the subproject "Innovative machine and tool technology for precision forging" deals with the development of a flashless forging process for a two cylinder crankshaft with pin and flange. This process is developed by IPH - Institut fur Integrierte Produktion Hannover. The first preform of the developed forging sequence is produced by a cross wedge rolling process on the basis of flat with wedges. To consider the mass distribution of the two cylinder crankshaft in the preform for a rolling process four mass concentrations for the crank arms and mass concentrations for pin and flange are needed.
