Forge

Best-in-class simulation solution for the forging industry

Forge

FORGE is a product of Transvalor S.A.

FORGE® NxT is the software solution for the simulation of hot and cold-forming processes. FORGE NxT fulfills the needs of companies producing forged parts for a variety of industrial sectors: automotive, aerospace, defense, energy, construction, medical, etc. FORGE® NxT enables the simulation of many hot-forming processes such as closed-die forging, open-die forging, rolling, reducer rolling, cross wedge rolling, thread rolling, shape rolling, ring rolling, rotary forging, flow forming, hydroforming, incremental forging, orbital forging, friction welding, extrusion, fastening, wire drawing, deep drawing, shearing, sheet metal forming, piercing, glass forming, blanking cutting, superplastic forming, trimming and some additional non-conventional processes. FORGE® NxT offers the possibility to simulate thermal treatments such as induction heating, quenching, carburizing and tempering.
Cold-forming operations can also be handled with FORGE NxT.

With its innovative technologies, extensive capabilities and unmatched performance, combined with an intuitive and easy-to-use graphical user interface, FORGE® NxT is best suited to quote new components, validate forging sequences, address shop floor issues, improve forging yield and design innovative and high-technology forged products.

Development of new shaped Ring Rolling process through FORGE NxT Numerical Simulation

FELB received an order from a new customer concerning the supply of about two hundred A105 steel shaped rings. The part could be produced by the traditional process composed by ring rolling and subsequent machining. The size of the request (one order of magnitude bigger than usual) led the management to evaluate the possibility to roll a shaped ring, in order to optimize material usage and to provide a final part with better in-service performances.
