- Computational Engineering
Background:
- Steel profile drawing processes heavily rely on expert experience, leading to inefficiencies.
- A systematic approach is needed to optimize multi-pass drawing for reduced production costs and time.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a systematic process design system for multi-pass steel profile drawing.
- To improve the efficiency and reduce the cost of steel profile manufacturing.
Main Methods:
- Development of a process design system integrated with AutoCAD V14.
- Calculation of drawing load, stress, and strain using the developed system.
- Design of intermediate die shapes and generation of process information and die drawings.
Main Results:
- The developed system enables calculation of key drawing parameters and design of intermediate dies.
- Process information and die drawings are generated automatically after design.
- The system was successfully applied to design multi-pass profile drawing processes.
Conclusions:
