摘要：One of the manufacturing processes that can be permanent improved is plastic deformation of metallic materials, as incorporating reserves on the manufacture of products with reduced material and energy consumptions. This paper presents finite element analysis for a closed die forging process, showing the stresses, strains and temperature into deformed part and stresses in the working tools. The analysis of obtained results for different flash dimensions of the working tools has enabled optimization of the forging process studied. To be able to validate the numerical results obtained, experimental tests were conducted. The compared data series show a good agreement between the numerical and experimental data.
