    Modeling Flexforming (fluid Cell Forming) Process With Finite Element Method
    (Trans Tech Publications Ltd, 2007) Hatipoglu, H. Ali; Polat, Naki; Koeksal, Arif; Tekkaya, A. Erman
    In this paper, the flexforming process is modeled by finite element method in order to investigate the operation window of the problem. Various models are established using explicit approach for the forming operation and implicit approach for the unloading one. In all analyses the rubber diaphragm has been modeled revealing that the modeling of this diaphragm is essential. Usine the material Aluminum 2024 T3 alclad sheet alloy, three basic experiments are conducted: Bending of a straight flange specimen, bending of a contoured flange specimen and bulging of a circular specimen. By these experiments tile effects of blank thickness, die bend radius, flange length and orientation of the rolling direction of the part have been investigated. Experimental results are compared with finite element results to verify the computational models.

    Experimental Investigation of Residual Stresses After Heat Treatment and Grinding Processes in the Production of Ball Bearing Rings
    (Trans Tech Publications Ltd, 2008) Gueley, Volkan; Tekkaya, A. Erman; Savas, Turhan; Ozhan, Feridun
    Experimental investigation of residual stresses after heat treatment and grinding processes in the production of ball bearing rings has been carried out. The residual stresses were measured by X-ray diffraction method utilizing chromium radiation, which has an average penetration depth of 5 mu m incident on 100Cr6 (AISI-E52100) ball bearing steel. The process parameters of heat treatment and grinding processes were varied so as to represent the extreme values that can be applied in the respective processes. Hardness and percent retained austenite limit the heat treatment process parameters; while roundness, surface roughness and form the grinding process. Tensile surface residual stresses on the raceway of ball bearing rings changes to compression after grinding in both circumferential and axial directions. In grinding relatively higher compressive stresses were measured in axial direction compared to the circumferential direction. This experimental investigation also showed that the influence of heat treatment process parameters on the magnitude and distribution of residual stresses survived even after grinding process; i.e. heat treatment and grinding processes cannot be evaluated independently in process design for favourable residual stresses.

    Influence of Heat Treatment and Grinding Conditions on Surface Residual Stresses in the Production of Rollers
    (Trans Tech Publications Ltd, 2006) Gueley, Volkan; Tekkaya, A. Erman; Savas, Turhan; Ozhan, Feridun
    The aim of this study is to investigate surface residual stresses after heat treatment and grinding processes in the production of rollers. The residual stresses were measured using the X-ray diffraction method utilizing chromium radiation, which has an average penetration depth of 5 mu m incident on AISI-E52100 (100Cr6) ball bearing steel. Taguchi design of experiments (DOE) is applied to define the set of experiments for grinding, which facilitates evaluation of the individual influences of process parameters on residual stresses and also eliminates unnecessary experiments. Response of residual stresses to each parameter is evaluated with the help of the results of residual stress measurements by X-ray diffraction. In grinding with aluminum oxide wheels, it was concluded that the lower the cutting speed and the higher the workpiece speed the higher the magnitude of surface compressive residual stresses. Higher compressive stresses were measured in axial direction compared to the circumferential direction after the grinding process.
