Hot Forging is a manufacturing method that is applied to a wide variety of high strength automotive components. To satisfy demands of lower costs and shorter production time, it is essential to monitor the forging process minutely. Advanced process modeling combined with simulation is need of the hour. It leads to the understanding of dynamic materials behavior of the process in a quantitative way. The traditional build-and-test methods of developing a complete manufacturing process are based on experience. The part geometries are generally quite complex and the simpler analytical methods...

Wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) is used to manufacture conductive hard metal components with intricate shape, greater tolerance and precision. A review of the literature reveals that most of the research work has been directed towards the optimization of WEDM operation and modeling of the process. The present research work has been focused on the detailed study for the effect of cryogenic treatment to wire electrodes used in WEDM. Experimental setup has been developed to conduct the different set of experiments. The untreated and cryogenically treated brass wire electrodes have...
