Abstract：

The finite volume method (FVM) was used for numerical simulation of isothermal forging process of aluminum alloy wheels in commercial software MSC.Superforge, and the physical forming experiment was performed. Study releases that the forging laws in numerical simulation and physical experiment are inconsistent. According to the analysis of numerical simulation and physical experiment, it shows that the rim corresponding to stiffener is concave in numerical simulation, namely forming of rib area is later than other regions,while, the rim corresponding to stiffener is convex in physical experiment, namely forming of rib area is faster than other regions. According to the die contact and possible lubricant pockets obtained by the numerical simulation, the enclosed chamber formed in underfill gap of reinforcing rib was deduced in the wheel molding process which leads to repulsion by forming metal and more easily flow to stiffener for lubricant, so it brings about the difference of metal flow between numerical simulation and actual experiment.
