Predictive machining for forging distortions

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for predictive machining for forging distortions. In one aspect, a method includes obtaining a mesh model of a machined part to be machined from a forged part and residual stress field data for the forged part, where the mesh model includes multiple nodes corresponding to at least one boundary of the machined part, updating the mesh model by applying the residual stress field data to the multiple nodes corresponding to the at least one boundary to change positions of the multiple nodes in the mesh model, repeating the updating until an amount of change to each of the positions of the multiple nodes in the mesh model satisfies a correction criteria, and providing the compensated mesh model for use in machining the machined part from the forged part.
