Abstract

Radial forging of long products made of metal workpieces in a radial forging machine uses at least four forging tools arranged around the circumference of the workpiece, which are set up and adapted to simultaneously carry out the forging operation. An automatic pass schedule calculation includes entering start parameters for the radial forging process into a pass schedule calculation program and defining target parameters for the radial forging process. The pass schedule calculation program calculates a pass schedule or a forging sequence based on these start and target parameters. The pass schedule calculation program determines a temperature variation and the temperature distribution over the cross section of the long product and takes into account the change in shape during radial forging.
