Intelligent computation techniques for process planning of cold forging
In this paper, two artificial intelligence (AI) techniques were applied to the problem of process planning in multiple-blow cold forging. Given the reduction in area of the product to be forged and the degree of formability of the material, in the first application a fuzzy logic (FL) technique was used to discriminate whether or not a cold forged product was feasible in a single blow. In the second application, a neural network (NN) architecture was used to identify the correct number of blows necessary to complete the cold forging process
