Abstract. Background . Today, the actual issues in the production of metal products are the saving of materials and the productivity of production, as this has a significant impact on the cost of finished products. This especially applies to hollow products with a complex geometric shape. Such products include parts or semi-finished products that have hollow cavities and additional elements in the design in the form of flanges, or variable wall thickness along the height of the product. Such parts are widely distributed in mechanical engineering, aircraft construction and in the production of special purpose products, in particular in the field of ammunition production. Therefore, the manufacturing technology of such parts should ensure mass production and have an economic effect. Goal. By calculation, using the finite element method (FEM) in the DEFORM software environment, determine the option of stamping, from blanks of different diameters, a semi-finished product of a hollow part of a complex geometric shape using the technology of hot three-dimensional stamping, and analyze the proposed technological process of obtaining a semi-finished product. Methodology of implementation . Using MSE in the DEFORM software environment, simulation of hot three-dimensional stamping of a semi-finished product was carried out for a hollow part of a complex geometric shape made of blanks of different diameters. In this way, the option of obtaining a semi-finished product with a minimum number of transitions and a guaranteed possibility of implementing the technological process of mold formation was chosen. For the selected option, an analysis of the force modes of forming, normal stresses on the contact surfaces of the workpiece with the tool, and the stress-strain state of the deformed metal was performed. The results . A semi-finished product manufacturing technology for a hollow part of a complex geometric shape using hot three-dimensional stamping technology is proposed. This technology will be implemented in the production of the adapter housing part, which is used in the design of the 120 mm mine. By calculation, with the help of MSE in the DEFORM software environment, the variant of semi-finished product molding for the "Body-adapter" part was determined using the technology of hot three-dimensional stamping, and an analysis of the technological operation of semi-finished product molding was carried out. The temperature regime of the process, technological efforts, parameters of the stress-strain state of the deformed material, the distribution of normal stresses on the deforming tool are determined. The results of the conducted computer modeling make it possible to take into account the design features and select the necessary technological equipment for mass production. Conclusions . The technology for serial production of semi-finished products by hot volumetric stamping has been developed and substantiated. This technology made it possible to increase the rate of material utilization by two times compared to the technology of obtaining a part by mechanical processing from graded rolled steel.
