Abstract: Cold forging process can be described as the process where a metal is plastically deformed at room temperature with application of huge pressure. The process not only changes the shape but also improves the properties of the forged parts due to grain size refinement. Currently the Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) tools are widely used as a replacement of the empirical trial and error method. The objective of this research is to model the cold forging process using finite element analysis. The study will investigate the stress distribution, load-displacement curve and effect of die geometry and lubrication to the die performance. Due to geometrical considerations and computational limitations, the study only involve of two-dimensional (2D) simplified model of cold forging process using ABAQUS software.
