This study investigates the problem of material fracture in cross wedge rolling (CWR). It was found that this problem could be analysed by means of well-known phenomenological criteria of fracture that are implemented in commercial FEM (Finite Element Method) simulation programs for forming processes. The accuracy of predicting material fracture depends on the critical damage value that is determined by calibration tests in which the modelled and real stresses must be in good agreement. To improve this accuracy, a new calibration test is proposed. The test is based on the CWR process. Owing to the shape of the tools and test piece used in CWR, the forming conditions in this process deteriorate with the distance from the centre of the test piece, which at a certain moment leads to fracture initiation. Knowing the location of axial crack initiation in the specimen, it is possible to determine the critical value of material damage via numerical simulation. The new calibration test is used to determine the critical damage of 42CrMo4 steel subjected to forming in the temperature range of 900–1100 °C. In addition, 12 criteria of ductile fracture are employed in the study. The results show that the critical damage significantly increases with the temperature.
