Force required for cold forming

Force required for cold forming

Force required for cold forming

(OP)
I have to quote a machine to cold roll a taper on a 1/2" shaft. Given the material, speed of penatration, and dimensions of the finished part, is there a way to calculate force required? Any resource will help.

Thanks in advance.

RE: Force required for cold forming

I'd suggest getting hold of a copy of "Tool and manufacturing engineers handbook" from your library service (it is expensive to buy a copy like I have)

The ISBN reference number is 0-07-059558-5 and it is published by McGraw-Hill Book Company  written by Society of Manufacturing Engineers 20501 Ford Road Dearborn Michigan USA

Another book that is worth consulting is "Machinery's Handbook"
ISBN 0-8311-0900-9 published by Industrial Press Inc. 200 Madison Avenue New York NY USA

Both these books are excellent resources for the sort of information you are after, but both are pretty expensive to buy so a trip to your local library is a cheaper alternative.

Your library should be able to track either or both down from the ISBN numbers I have given.
