The soundness of an ingot after hot forging with different V-shaped lower dies is evaluated using finite element simulations. Two different modelling approaches that make use of uncoupled ductile damage and coupled ductile damage based on porous plasticity are employed. It is shown that the two approaches provide somewhat different results. A simple quantification scheme is suggested for ranking the overall performance of the different geometries of the V-shaped lower dies. Results show that a lower die angle in the range 90o-120o is capable of ensuring the best results
