Abstract

Design of the optimum preform for near net shape manufacturing is a crucial step in many manufacturing process design. In this study, the same is arrived at using profile maps which are generated using the results of FE simulations of 81 cases of varying geometrical, material and processinging parameters. These maps are further verified using two new problems. It is shown that profile maps are very powerful tool for preform design.
