Design of wheel hub production

The subject of this thesis was to propose a possible way of production for a wheel hub on the front axle of VAZ 2101 made out of steel 12 050. Based on the accesible technologies was selected a volume thermoforming technology, specifically drop forging for its positive impact on mechanical features of forging. Construction of the die cnforms to the norm ČSN 22 8308 with closed spout groove. The forging is done by a hammer KHZ 8A, with an impact energy of 80 kJ. Dies, upper and lower, made of tool steel 19 552, tempered to 54 HRC
