Multi-Layer Wear and Tool Life Calculation for Forging Applications Considering Dynamical Hardness Modeling and Nitrided Layer Degradation

As one of the oldest shaping manufacturing processes, forging and especially hot forging is characterized by extreme loads on the tool. The thermal load in particular is able to cause constant changes in the hardness of the surface layer, which in turn has a decisive influence on the numerical estim...
