Abstract

There are presented the results of theoretical studies of upsetting process using software forge3 and the simultaneous flattening of wheel blank using conical punch of 630 mm in outer diameter, with a flat section at the end of 50, 250 and 450 mm in diameter and tilt angle of generatix to the horizontal of 5, 10, 15 and 25 °.
