RESEARCH OF THE DEFORMATION PROCESS OF BLANKS IN THE DIES WITH ELASTIC ELEMENTS.

This article is devoted to research of the deformation process of blanks in the new tool, that consists of two dies. Key feature of these dies is elastic elements in the view of springs. It was proved the feasibility of using a new design - dies with elastic elements instead of the currently used flat dies, since the proposed technology allows to obtain a billet of high quality with uniform equal-axes fine-grained structure with less forging reduction.
