Defects in Forging may Arise from:
• Inherent Defects while forging • Faulty cuts in Forging Operations • Improper Heating and Cooling

Types of Defects in Forging 1. Cracks 2. Laps/Folds 3. Pitting 4. Coarse Grain Wrinkle 5. Flow-through 6. Distributed Metal Defects 7. Dents 8. Underfilling 9. Void at Base of Rib 10. Push-through of Web under Rib

1. Cracks
• Excessive working of a surface at too low a temperature leads to cracks
• Cracks may nucleate due to sulphur inclusions, etc.
• External cracks are most dangerous • Cracks may appear at flash (if flash is too thin) • Internal cracks may develop during Upsetting

Inclusions leading to cracking
Cavity in the centre of a cleavage facet. The small inclusion appears to have initiated cleavage fracture.

“Upsetting” Forging
![Page 7: Forging Defects](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052122/5406f660dab5caa9628b472c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Flash

Combating cracks in Forging
• Forging at increased temperature • Stress relieving before cutting off flash • Hot-cutting of Flash • Use concave die while upsetting.

2. Laps/Folds
• Also called “Fold-shut” • Occurs when two surfaces of a metal folds
against each other without welding completely
• Metal may flow past a die cavity that has already been filled.
• May be due to Too small die radius, excessive chilling of high friction

Example of Folding during Forging
![Page 11: Forging Defects](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052122/5406f660dab5caa9628b472c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
3. Pitting
![Page 12: Forging Defects](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052122/5406f660dab5caa9628b472c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Pitting
• Pitting occurs because of incomplete cleaning of Die
• Die and workpiece should be free from scale while forging
![Page 13: Forging Defects](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052122/5406f660dab5caa9628b472c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
4. Coarse grain Wrinkle
• Wrinkling occurs during forging because the Billets contains coarse grains.
• These wrinkles fold into laps during forging.

5. Flow-through
![Page 15: Forging Defects](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052122/5406f660dab5caa9628b472c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Also…
• Flow through may occur in cases where metal flows past the die recesses after filling.
• Die impressions are hence not completely filled. • Maybe avoided by increasing temp. of stock • Ensure lubricants are not trapped

6. Distributed Metal Defects
• Loose oxides minimized die-slug contact
• Avoid too much lubricant

7. Dents
![Page 18: Forging Defects](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052122/5406f660dab5caa9628b472c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Dents are caused by
• Improper positioning of stock on die • Throwing around the forging while it is still hot.

8. Underfilling
![Page 20: Forging Defects](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052122/5406f660dab5caa9628b472c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Underfilling
• Metal does not fill the recesses of the die completely
• Because of loose scale and lubricant residue that accumulates in deep recesses of the die

9. Rib and Web defects
• A "peeling" lap forms in an aluminum rib-web forging as the corner of the die forces surface material ahead of the contact region. With a redesign of the upper die or preform, this type of defect can be prevented
