Abstract
In this paper a novel idea about die forging process design in relatio n to metal flow is presented. The purpose is to almost completely fill a die cavity before flash starts to form. The paper shows that prefor m design is the way to realize this situation. The paper describes a m ethod in which metal flow is simulated using UBET in reverse sequence to that occurring in practice. The successful application of the metho d in production is shown.
