Based on the design of a new tooth profile for the sprocket, a cold semi-precision forging process and a kinematically admissible velocity field for filling the die cavity were proposed. Using the UB method, the velocity fields of the sprocket billet in the forming process were divided theoretically and calculated. The process of forging a multi-row sprocket was simulated using the FEM package Deform-3D V6.1 to obtain the distributions of the velocity field and the effective stress field in filling the die cavity. Similar to the simulated results, the experiment on cold forging a 5052 aluminum alloy sprocket was successfully performed. By comparing the calculated (UB method), experimental and simulated load-stroke curves, the calculated and simulated results were basically in accordance with the experimental results. The study provides a theoretical foundation for the development of the precision forging of multi-row sprockets.

Three flux-cored wires with different chemical compositions, marked by DM-I, DM-II and DM-III were used in welding a martensitic steel for the comparison of the microstructures and mechanical properties of the welding metals and HAZ. The results show that DM-I weld metal contains martensite plus other reinforced phases, while both DM-II and DM-III alloys lead to mainly martensitic microstructures with little precipitates. Among all of the tested materials the DM-I alloy has the highest hardness and wear resistance but the lowest impact toughness among the experimental weld metals. Meanwhile, the hardness, impact toughness and wear resistance of the DM-II and DM-III alloys are close to those of the base metal but the DM-III is not as strong as DM-II. Dimples can be found on the impact fracture of the weld metals, but the steel fracture consists of both cleavage and dimples. Thus HAZ has less risk for cracking than the welds, and the DM-II wire which produces the weld having identical mechanical properties to the base metal is suitable for further application.
