Forgeability Of 25%GRPOM ( Celcon R ) To Produce Spur Gear Under Hot Conditions Through Slow Speed Press.

Abstract

This research studied forgeability of preheated billet of 25%GRPOM plastic through closed die forging technique using spur gear design. The type of deformation was discussed as well. This process had done after heating the billet and die assembly at 100oC to achieve complete gear shape taking into consideration testing the product to insure no inside or outside defects with improvement in the mechanical properties. Cycle time to produce a complete shape was two minutes
