| Abstract Scope |
Due to the sensitivity of mechanical properties as a function of temperature observed in many structural materials, predicting temperature distribution during thermomechanical processing is of great interest. However, in many cases there is no feasible way to directly observe or measure the internal temperature and surface contact measurements may also be impossible.
This work utilizes non-contact surface measurements made by infrared cameras to generate initial conditions for finite element models of forging and heat treatment processes. Time synchronized measurements made under controlled conditions of tooling internal temperatures, and workpiece surface temperature by K-type thermocouples were used to validate the camera surface readings and the simulated internal predictions.
Toward future integration of such a system into an Industry 4.0 manufacturing process, the data pathways and critical parameters needed to accurately pass information automatically between generic temperature sensors and finite element software were investigated. |
