helixrules

thanks for the suggestion. i will try the lubricant and see.

thanks a lot guys for the response. actually initially i was trying to do it in 2 passes but i was not getting the desired result. then I switched to three passes. now we are Forging the material three times to get the desired shape. this has increased our cost and decreased our productivity enormously. at present we are using graphite powder mixed with sodium silicate as lubricant. i will attach pictures of material after each pass so that you guys can take a look. i was looking for some suggestion in die design or lubricant we can use to manufacture the part in two steps only. thanks

hey everyone well i was trying to forge a chisel(pic attached), from a 25mm dia round. the diameter of the top point of the cone is 5mm. the problem we are facing is while forming the conical profile, the material does not flow to the top and the tip does not form properly. we have provided a air vent in the top of the die. we are forging this piece on a screw forging press of 200tons capacity. please give your valuable advice as what solutions can be done to make this part properly. btw the material is 60Si7 or EN-45
