A
Relative forgeability rating takes into consideration such variable factors as pressure, die wear, and plasticity (hot). Since it is impracticable to reduce these variables
to common units, calibration in terms of a percentage of the most generally used alloy, forging brass (100 %), is considered the most practical basis for such ratings. The
values shown represent the general opinion and are intended for information to enable the designer to better understand the forging characteristics of these various alloys.
Intricate parts are more likely to be available in alloys having a high rating.

X3.1 Mechanical properties of any forging are influenced tests. (Frequently, the design of forgings will not permit
by shape and size. Unless otherwise specified in the purchase adequate test sections.) Therefore, the data in Table X3.1 do

X4. GUIDELINES FOR FORGINGS DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT
INTRODUCTION
The following guidelines are provided for the design and development of forgings, including die
design.
X4.1 Draft Angles External areas 30'

X4.1.1 To allow an easy ejection of forgings (areas lying in Internal areas 1°
the forging direction) from the die, draft angles are necessary. X4.1.2 Smaller or greater draft angles may be adopted
It is suggested to use as a best practice the following draft according to particular needs or cases.
angles. See also Fig. X4.1.

X5. METRIC EQUIVALENTS
X5.1 The SI unit for strength properties now shown is in stress is the newton per square metre (N/m2), which has been
accordance with the International System of Units (SI). The named the pascal (Pa) by the General Conference on Weights
derived SI unit for force is the newton (N), which is defined as and Measures. Since 1 ksi = 6 894 757 Pa, the metric equiva-
