Abstract: 

T-junction of high-pressure pipe which is formed by common hot forging has the disadvantages of low material utilization rate, large machining allowance and high cost, and so on. In order to improve the material utilization rate, product quality and disclose the law of precise forging. In this study, the forming method by closed-die forging technology to produce T-junction of high-pressure pipe on special press machine was put forward, a three-axis directional closed-die forging die was designed.Through the numerical simulation analysis of the forming process of junction of high-pressure pipe by Deform-3D software, the velocity field and equivalent strain field of the forming process were obtained, and the metal forming flow law was analyzed to predict the forging force. Results demonstrate that the whole forming technology can be divided into three stages: reverse upsetting, radial extrusion and combined extrusion. The final forming contour is clear and the filling is full with no folding, insufficient filling and uneven flow line. Based on the analysis of forming load, it is predicted that forging force is about 13,000 Kn. The mold design of the study is novel, the process is reasonable, and the forming quality is excellent. The proposed method provides a good prospect to determine the precise forging technique of T- junction of high-pressure pipe.
