BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES

3 Day Proficiency Improvement Programme on Advances in Forging Technology

PROGRAMME

Today's need of automotive industry is to develop a vehicle

with light weight and high efficiency. Using advanced
manufacturing technologies such as forging, it is possible to
design & manufacture a forged component in a cost effective
manner. The conceptual knowledge of lightweight materials,
forging process, heat treatment and their interaction with
each other is essential for an engineer to design a forged
component. Lightweight materials forging is among the most
important area that needs to be addressed by the
manufacturer in order to satisfy the customer requirements.
The aim of this training program is to elucidate the advances
in forging technology with an emphasis on imparting skills of
standard design concepts, simulation, manufacturing best
practices, & Characterisation. Also it is focused on OEM and
supplier agreement/selection of lightweight materials.

automotive disciplines. It helps in understanding system's
view point for automotive design and manufacture, with
specific skills in formulating automotive engineering solutions
in terms of their function and performance, through optional
modules.
Based on the present system in universities, credits are
proposed for each module, so that the graduate engineers can
attend various modules and sum-up the credits required for
Master's or Doctoral Programs. Participants also get chance to
visit related laboratories of ARAI and get hands on experience.
