Q1-A- Identify two advantages and two disadvantages of hot deformation versus cold
deformation of metals.
B- Account for each of the followings:
1. The stress in hot deformation depends on the strain rate while in cold
deformation, it depends on strain.
2. The multiplying factor for closed die forging process is higher than that for open
die forging process.

Q2- Starting from aluminum, ore show by using a suitable flow chart how aluminum
profile can be produced.

Q3- A cylinder, having an initial thickness of 8 cm and initial diameter of 6 cm, is

compressed by open die forging process at room temperature. The true strain to
fracture the cylinder is 2 and the governing deformation relationship is

. The lubricant used provides a friction coefficient of 0.2. The

process is limited by either platen yielding of fracture. If the yield stress of platens
is 1000 MPa, do the platens yield or does the specimen fracture?

Q4- The rolls are used to cold rolling a metal (K = 800 MPa, strain hardening exponent =
0.5). The rectangular shape is 12 cm wide and has an initial thickness of 2 mm. If the
contact length is 10 mm, Qp is 1.5, and the roll force is 300 kN, calculate the exit
thickness.
Good Luck
