Olympiad 2018

Congratulations to the winners of the Olympiad-2018!

The International Students Olympiad in Hot Bulk Forging and Extrusion Technologies 2018 was arranged in April by 21 Organizers in 16 countries. This year 115 students participated in the competition.

Competition between students in hot bulk forging section consisted of the following steps: students got a drawing of an axisymmetric part after machining and designed the hot forged part and die impression for the final forging, determined the necessary technological chain for its manufacturing and then simulated the proposed forging process. Simulation was performed in QForm software for estimation and verification of the developed technology.

We have collected all Olympiad results from Scientific Committee members.

In the table below you can see the final ranking.

Winners. Extrusion section

Final results:

  • 1 Place: Xun Jian, Central South University, China

  • 2 Place: Anton Nichvolod, Bauman Moscow STU, Russia

  • 3 Place: Sergey Strugov, South Ural SU, Russia

In the Olympiad students could choose alternative task for developing technological process of hollow aluminium profile extrusion. In the Extrusion section students got a drawing of an overall dimensions of final profile (tube), designed full extrusion die set, determined extrusion process parameters and then simulated the process in QForm Extrusion software for estimation and verification of the developed technology. After that, the students had to prepare final reports.


Congratulations and applause!

Thanks to all the participants for their interest in simulation and deformation technologies.

We also thank the organizers of the national stage of the Olympiad and the members of the Scientific Committee for evaluating the work of the participants.

We are waiting for you at the next Olympiad!
