  1. 44. Advanced Energy-Saving Technologies in Open Die Forging Presses: A Case Study on Press Upgrade
    Mr Luca Bertoldi (Sales Director)
    14/10/2026, 08:50
    Oral Presentation

    Over the past few years, Vecchiato has dedicated significant resources to researching and applying energy-saving technologies for Open Die Forging Presses. Building upon our patented HP3 flywheel system for hydraulic pumps, we have engineered and tested additional features to further optimize energy utilization.
    This paper presents a case study of a recent upgrade, wherein a new 4’000-ton...

    1. Presentation Abstract
      Abstract
      This presentation explores the application of the Pahnke Modified Sinusoidal Drive (PMSD) as an
      advanced, universal drive solution for hydraulic presses in the metal forming industry. Traditional
      hydraulic drive systems often face challenges related to energy inefficiency, dynamic shock
      loads, and control precision during heavy-duty operations. The PMSD...

    Oral presentation (paper for journal’s special issue)

    Forging simulation involves large deformation, material nonlinearity, and complex contact between the billet and dies. To support the development of independent finite element software for metal forming, this study develops linear elastic and elastoplastic solvers for forging analysis within a static implicit finite element framework. The computational procedure is organized using an...

  4. 48. Three-Roll Skew Rolling of Titanium/Steel Bimetallic Composite Tubes: Simulation and Experiment
    Qingshan Ding (College of Mechanical Engineering, Taiyuan University of Technology, Taiyuan 030024, China)
    14/10/2026, 09:50
    Oral presentation (paper for journal’s special issue)

    Titanium/steel bimetallic composite tubes combine the excellent corrosion resistance of titanium with the high strength and low cost of carbon steel, and therefore have considerable application potential in demanding service environments such as petrochemical engineering, marine engineering, and shipbuilding. Owing to its high forming efficiency, simplified processing route, and high...

  5. 28. Efficient electrification of round steel bars heating during rolling process
    Pello Jimbert (University of the Basque Country UPV/EHU)
    14/10/2026, 10:10
    Oral presentation (paper for journal’s special issue)

    On the path towards achieving the EU's 2050 net-zero steel emissions target, one strategy related to the steel making industry involves transitioning from heating processes that emit greenhouse gases (such as natural gas furnaces) to electric heating processes (such as resistance furnaces or induction heating systems). This study presents a methodology for this industrial transition using...
