Outer Bending of a Cold Forged Circle Flange [PDF]

open access: yesTransactions of Materials Processing, 2012
Abstract The flange hub is a main component of an automotive steering system. Dimensional precision of the flange hub is very important for precise control of the steering force. Consequently, the process design for precision forming of a flange hub is required. The teeth of the flange hub are generally formed by bending. In this study, the formability
