Recently the improvement in vehicle performance trend to increase in accordance with the weight of this part. Outer tie rod is small when compared to the other vehicle part by weight, but there is a need to reduce the weight of the outer tie rod in order to improve fuel efficiency of the vehicle. Therefore, from previous studies, a model of outer die rod is proposed using Design of Experiments and Meta model satisfying the buckling performance. Outer tie rod are manufactured through forging process, in this study, we compare the size of the forming load in accordance with the change in the moving speed through the die forging analysis of the outer tie rod on the basis of the actual molding process.

A screw is a type of fastener characterized by a helical ridge known as thread. The demands for screws with the miniaturization and weight reduction are increasing for the trend of small size of mobile devices. The successful designs of mold and process are very important to obtain screws with good mechanical properties and high precision. In this study, the design of cold forging process of micro screw was carried out by using finite element method. In particular, in order to investigate the effects of die geometries and friction, design of experiment method was adopted and it was revealed that the friction was the dominant factor of folding defects. From these results, the design of die was modified and experiments were carried out with the modified die. From the experimental results, it was found that the folding defects disappeared.

The upset forging stage is the initial work in the forging process. It is used to remove the segregation and cavities of the ingot. Specially in handling large sized ingot, an improper upset forging can cause serious surface tearing. However, there is no detail reference for stable upset forging work. To resolve this difficulty, we studied several factors such as upset forging time, temperature varation of ingot, damage, load and stain rate etc., by using the rigid-plastic finite element approach available in the DEFORM code. Numerical simulation results indicated that: the load value of upset forging works shows severe decreasing trend at a certain point, same as strain rate. Also defects were found to be concentrated around the upper and lower portions of the ingot. With these results, we can estimate a guideline for stable upset forging work.

In this study, casting/forging process was used to produce an aluminum lower control arm for automobiles. Firstly, casting experiments were carried out to get an enhanced preform for forging the lower control arm. In the casting experiment, the effect of an additive, Sr, on the mechanical properties such as tensile strength and elongation and the microstructure of a cast preform were investigated. And a finite element analysis was peformed to determine an optimal configuration of the cast preform. Lastly, a forging experiment was carried out to make the final product of aluminum lower control arm by using the above cast preform. In the casting experiments, when 0.025% Sr was added into molten A356, the maximum values of tensile strength and elongation of the cast preform were obtained. In the forging experiment, It was confirmed that the optimal configuration of a cast preform predicted by FE analysis was very useful. The cast/forged product using designed preform was made without any defects.

An experimental study has been carried out to investigate casting process parameters which influence on the microstructures of cast preforms in casting/forging process of aluminum alloy. In the casting process, pouring temperature, pouring time, mold temperature, mold material, and, cooling method are selected as process parameters. With the cast preform, a forging test has been performed to compare mechanical properties of final products between casting/forging process and forging process. From the experimental results, low mold temperature and water cooling method are favorable for obtaining minute microstructures of cast preforms. Casting defects included in cast preforms. such as pores and shrinkage cavity, are eliminated by the forging process. And comparing cast/forged products with conventionally forged products, the former are almost as same as the latter in mechanical characteristics.

This forged piston is proposed with a lighter weight and higher durability than a gravity casting piston for gasoline engines. However, a forged piston is very difficult to develop and mass-produce due to lack of basic technologies such as design, material and forging technique. First, we benchmarked existing forged pistons according to database design parameters. Second, we evaluated two solidification processes, continuous casting and spray forming, to produce heat-resistant alloy billets for forging. The spray forming process gives better mechanical properties at all temperatures, particularly at elevated temperatures except when poor formability is present. We used DEFORM simulation to determine the optimum process condition with billet from spray forming and successfully commercialized it with LF Sonata HEV.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the influences on mechanical properties of motor pistons manufactured by casting, conventional forging and powder forging, using the comparison of characteristics like microstructure, hardness, tensile strength, and elongation. To form conventional forging piston, the experiment of visioplasticity was performed. As the model material, plasticine was used. To form powder forging piston, the shape of piston was simplified as simple cup shape. Material properties like workability, density variation before and after forging, and strain loci of material during forging were investigated. Powder forging and conventional forging technologies were effective to gain dense microstructure. In powder forging, distribution of such dense microstructuer was uniform. For hardness, pistons from powder forging and conventional forging technologies were much better than that from casting. For tensile strength and elongation, powder forging and conventional forging technologies were also advantageous.

본 논문에서는 실시간 상태 기계(Real-time State Machine, RSM)로 명제된 실시간 시스템의 행위의 쉽고 간결한 이해, 분석을 위한 새로운 상태 최소화 방법을 기술한다. 시스템의 행위를 보여주는 RSM 실행에 대한 상태는 제어 변수, 자료 변수, 시간 변소의 집합에 의해 정의된다. 상태 최소화는 4단계 추상화인 계산(computation), 제너릭(generic) 패턴, 한계 간격(limit interval), 동일 범위(coordinate scope) 추상화를 통해 이루어진다. 계산 추상화 단계에서는 연속적인 계산으로 연결된 다수의 상태를 하나의 상태로, 일반 패턴 추상화 단계에서는 상수 또는 함수 관계에 있는 동일 제어의 연속된 일련의 상태들의 집합을 하나의 제너릭 패턴으로 통합한다. 한계 간격 추상화 단계에서는 특정 값으로부터 음의 무한대나 양의 무한대 값으로 단조 증가, 단조 감소하는 값 사이에 있는 상태들을 하나의 상태로 통합한다. 마지막으로, 동일 범위 추상화 단계에서는 같은 범위에 존재하는 일련의 상태들을 하나의 상태로 통합한다. 각 추상화의 적용은 제어, 데이터, 시간의 무한한 상태 공간을 유한한 상태공간으로 감소시킬 수 있으며 많은 상태 감소를 가능하게 한다. 따라서, 시스템 행위에 대한 이해와 분석이 복잡도가 적은 개념 단계에서 수행될 수 있다.
