Title: Innovative Die Material and Lubrication Strategies for Clean and Energy Conserving Forging Technologies

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/897417· OSTI ID:897417

The objective of this project was to develop and implement innovative die material and surface coating strategies such as composite dies and lubricated coatings to increase die lives and to reduce environmental pollution. In this project approaches and software were developed for die life optimization and optimal design of lubrication systems for hot forging. In addition, LENS applied nickel-aluminide coatings were developed and validated in the industrial environment for significant improvements in die life.
