Worked Example
Verified calculation
Given:
- Flash thickness = 0.002
- Perimeter of die cavity at parting line = 0.35
- Die flash gap (radial clearance) = 0.00015
Expected Result:
- Flash volume = 1.0509E-7
Engineering Interpretation:
Under the given input conditions, the calculated result is: Flash volume = 1.0509E-7 m^3.
The actual numerical result is computed by the Runtime engine using the persisted tool definition. The values shown here come from deterministically validated test cases.
Formula / Method
flash volume = flash thickness * (perimeter of die cavity at parting line + 2 * radial clearance) * radial clearanceFormula family: formula_forging_closed_die_forging_flash_volume_calculator
