This year due to the University Exams and the General Elections in India, the International Students Olympiad on Metal Forming Processes was held on 10th June, 2024 at the PHCET at the CAD lab, Engineering building, PHCET, Rasayani. Fifteen students originally registered for participating in the event. Out of Fifteen Nine students were selected who had participated in the practice sessions every Saturday during the month of April 2024 under the guidance of Dr. R. C. Prasad & Mr. Saurabh Sirsikar. Mr. Dhiraj Mishra, Business Development Manager interacted with participants and through Zoom meeting form Delhi on behalf of QFX Simulations Limited, Russia. The lunch was served in the R&D Innovation Lab that was sponsored by the Society for Failure Analysis Mumbai Chapter
The students should provide the following information according to the results of their tasks:
A summary table with the description of their work
Write a report with the description of performing the task and its results, including calculations, justifications and conclusions. QForm simulation was a supporting tool.
Final evaluation will take into consideration Quality, Validity & applied approaches in decision making besides:
- Selection of equipment (performance evaluation, power and energy parameters).
- Analysis of possible defects in the forged piece.
- Analysis of wear resistance and strength of die tooling.
- Selection of the optimal work piece, selection of forging operations (number of the operations, a
die impression geometry, evaluation of the metal utilization factor, deforming force (forging
Load), etc.). - Six (6) hours are given to complete the task.
