For the upper right control arm of an automobile, taking 6082 aluminum alloy as the forging material, the structural characteristics and forming difficulties of product were analyzed, and its forming process was determined to be two-pass roll forging, two-station bending, pre-forging and final forging. Then, according to the design theory of forging die, each pass die was designed by software Solidworks, the forming process of 6082 aluminum alloy control arm was simulated by software Deform, and the forming situation of each process was analyzed from the perspective of temperature distribution, stress-strain and metal flow. Furthermore, for the pre-forging process with the largest deformation degree in the forming scheme, the influences of billet temperature and friction factor on the pre-forging forming were analyzed by controlling a single variable. The results show that during pre-forging, with the increasing of initial forging temperature, the average equivalent stress decreases, and the initial forging temperature is more reasonable at 450-490 ℃. Moreover, improved lubrication and reduced friction factors can reduce the die load and the maximum equivalent strain of forgings, and prolong the service life of die. Finally, based on the simulation results and combined with the actual production, the experiment shows that the formed forgings obtained is consistent with the simulation results.
