The performance and life of a die are influenced by the machining methods. In order to examine the effects of machining methods on surface charactenstics, simple experiments are devised and performed. A die steel STD11, commonly used as a die material in press working, is selected. Three ways of machining methods to manufacture a die are considered. Those are (1) milling and then grinding, (2) wire-cut electric discharge dachining (W-EDM) and (3) heat treatment after W-EDM. The resulting surface roughnesses are measured. Also, the changes of surface microstructures are investigated using the scanning electron microscope(SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer(EDS) and the results are discussed in details.

The ion implantation technology is generally used in order to improve surface mechanical properties, especially tribological properties, of engineering metals. In this study, experimental works were carried out to investigate the surface properties, such as hardness, wear quantity, wear rate and friction force, of a nitrogen ion implanted tool steel STD11 under dry condition. Specimens for the wear test were made to investigate the influences of the initial ion implantation temperature and the total ion radiation. Wear properties, such as the wear quantity and the wear rate, of the nitrogen ion implanted tool steel were considerably improved, especially under the low sliding speed and the low applied load.

The experimental study of die-sinking electrical discharge machining(EDM) was conducted for Cold Die Alloy Steel of SKD-11 with rotary electrode according to the peak current of 11A, 15A and 19A, and the duty factor of 0.24, 0.45. dielectric fluid flow through the electrode inside according to the change of electrode internal diameter during the EDM working. Material removal rate(MRR) was increased with flushing & rotation of electrode at the condition for the peak current of 15A, 19a but the MRR is decreased at the flushing only. The more surface roughness was obtained for the case of the flushing & rotation under the peak current of 19A.

Research during the past several years has established the effectiveness of acoustic emission (AE)-based sensing methodologies for machine condition analysis and process. AE has been proposed and evaluated for a variety of sensing tasks as well as for use as a technique for quantitative studies of manufacturing process. STD11 has been known as difficult-to-cut materials. For this study, the micro-grooving machine was developed. The experiments were performed using diamond blade and CBN blade f3r machining STD11. Evaluating the machining conditions, frequency spectrum analysis of acoustic emission (AE) signals according to each conditions were applied.

In the finite element analysis of metal forming processes the updated Lagrangian approach has been widely and effectively used to simulate the non-steady state problems. however some difficulties have arisen from abrupt flow change as in extrusion through square dies. In the present work an ALE(arbitrary Lagrangian-Euleria) finite element formulation for deforma-tion analysis are presented fro rigid-viscoplastic materials. The developed finite element program is applied to the isothermal analysis of square die extrusion of a square section. The computational results are compared with those by the updated Lagrangian finite element analysis.

The temperature in hot forming of metallic materials, such as hot extrusion and hot forging, ranges from $300^{\circ}C$ to $900^{\circ}C$. Correspondingly, the die also exhibits high temperatures close to that of a work piece and its life is limited generally by high temperature fatigue. Thus, the analysis of high temperature fatigue would need the mechanical properties over the wide ranges of temperature. However, very few studies on the high temperature fatigue of brittle materials have been reported. Especially, the study on the fatigue behavior over such transition temperature regime is very rare. In this paper, the stress-strain curves and stress-life curves of a die steel such as STD61 are experimentally obtained. The wide ranges of temperature from $300^{\circ}C$ to $900^{\circ}C$ are considered in experiments and the transition temperature zone is carefully examined.

Mold design is a knowledge-intensive decision making process where product designer, injection molding engineer as well as mold designer affect each other. Representation and management of design knowledge is a prerequisite for an intelligent design system, which aims to guide and support designer to carry out design activity in more efficient way by avoiding or minimizing unnecessary trial and errors. This paper discusses the issues in knowledge-based mold design, and describes the structure of a knowledge-based mold design system fur parts with micro features under development.

Ultra-high-strength steels (UHSSs) are widely used for lightweight automobile parts, and the control of springback is very important in sheet-metal forming. The object of this study is to verify the effects of multi-stage forming process parameters for U-channel-type automobile parts made of UHSS. Finite element analysis is carried out to predict the formability and springback. The main parameters considered for the multi-stage forming process are the die angle, die radius, and punch-forming direction. It is shown that multi-stage forming is very effective for reducing springback, and that a small punch-forming angle and die radius reduce springback, whereas the die angle does not have a large effect.

As environmental regulations are strengthened, automobile manufacturers continuously research lightweight structures based on carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP). However, it is difficult to see the effect of strength reinforcement when using a single CFRP material. To improve this, a hybrid laminate in which CFRP is mixed with the existing body structural steel was proposed. In this paper, CFRP patch reinforcement is applied to each compression/tensile action surface of a 22MnB5 metal sheet, and it was evaluated through a 3-point bending experiment. Progressive failure was observed in similar deflection on bending deformation to each one-sided reinforced specimen. After progressive failure, the tensile reinforced specimen was confirmed to separate the damaged CFRP patch and 22MnB5 sheet from the center of the flexure. The compression reinforced specimen didn't separate that CFRP patch and 22MnB5, and the strength reinforcement behavior was confirmed. In the compression reinforced specimen, damaged CFRP patches were observed at the center of flexure during bending deformation. As a result of checking the specimen of the compression reinforcement specimen with an optical microscope, It is confirmed that the damaged CFRP patch and the reinforced CFRP patch overlapped, resulting in a concentrated load. Through the experimental results, the 22MnB5 strength reinforcement characteristics according to the reinforcement position of the CFRP patch were confirmed.

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether self-leadership affects organizational commitment through job satisfaction of employees working in domestic mold-related companies. Questionnaires were collected online for a period of three months from employees working in domestic mold-related companies., A total of 209 questionnaires were used for the final analysis, and the questionnaires were composed of self-leadership, organizational commitment, and job satisfaction. In order to improve the early turnover problem and job competence of employees working in domestic mold-related companies, the effect of self-leadership on organizational commitment and job satisfaction and the effect of self-leadership on organizational commitment through job satisfaction were verified. As a result of the verification, it was proved that self-leadership had a significant effect on organizational commitment and job satisfaction, and job satisfaction had a complete mediating effect between self-leadership and organizational commitment.,This proved that the stronger the self-leadership and the higher the job satisfaction, the greater the impact on organizational commitment, thus laying the foundation for self-leadership education for mold-related workers in companies and associations.
