17th International Conference on Metal Forming took place on 16-19 September in Japan

Metal Forming 2018, 17th International Conference on Metal Forming took place on 16-19 September in Toyohashi, Japan. Dr. Sergey Stebunov has presented article «Prediction of the fracture in cold forging with modified Cockcroft-Latham criterion». This report is the result of the mutual study of QuantorForm Ltd. and Bauman Moscow State Technical University, authors: Sergey Stebunov, Andrey Vlasov and Nikolai Biba.

270 papers were submitted from 35 countries from authors representing universities, research institutes and industry. Nearly 60% of these papers were submitted from Japan, China, Korea and Taiwan.

During the conference participants visited QForm booth

A modified Cockcroft-Latham criterion is now available in QForm as a subroutine that shows very good accuracy in tests for different practical cold forming processes. The use of reliable fracture criteria implemented in QForm metal forming software can help predict possible cracks and find ways to avoid them.
