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.

Al forged parts are many cases with rib-web section which is difficult to manufacture precisely. Therefore, process conditions must be optimized for precision forging of Al alloys. In this study, various process parameters such as die design, lubricant, ram speed, forging temperature have been investigated using the experiment, upper bound theory and F.E.M. simulation to develop the precision forging technology for rib-web shape component. When lubricant is applied to both material and die, shear friction factor is 0.1 which shows best effect of lubricant. It is specific corner radius of die that minimized forging load regarding process conditions, especially according to the ratio of the width of rib and web. In conclusion, optimum corner radius is 2~3mm when the width of rib and web is 3mm and 20mm respectively.

Precision forging technology that can control flow velocity of workpiece have been developed to minimize the amounts of machining. To get the uniform rib length, flow velocity distribution is needed to be estimated and controlled. Computer-aided design is known for very effective to estimate the deformation behavior and design the die for controlling the flow velocity. In this study, die design to control the deformation velocity are investigated using the DEFORM-2D about rib-web shape parts. Also we can get uniform rib length by enforcing the back pressure at end section of rib. The applied load of back pressure farming is lower than that of conventional forging. These results are analysed and confirmed by the experiment.

Flange bolt has a circular flange under the head that acts like a washer to distribute the clamping load over a large area. Flange bolt has usually been manufactured by cold forging. Flower shape defect occurs in the flange forging stage. This defect causes lack of dimensional accuracy and low quality. So it is needed to improve these forging defects. In this study, die design method for flower shape defect of flange bolt was suggested. In order to improve flower shape defect, inner diameter of the addition die in conventional forging process was modified. The forging process with applied modified die was simulated by commercial FEM code DEFORM-3D. The simulated results for modified die were confirmed by experimental trials with the same condition.

In this paper, a new forming process of the large-size forgings within the limit of forming loads is developed by introducing the incremental forging method and combined forming method. For the development of the forming process, various related processes are proposed and modelling experiments of plasticine and corresponding numerical simulation ate carried out. Thus, an optimal process considering the productivity and economical efficiency is recommended from the study of formability and forming loads, etc. The selected process is subjected to a modelling experiment of lead and 1/7 scale prototype experiment of the real material so as to verify the effectiveness of a selected process as well as to determine the design parameters. The developed process is then applied the forging product of dome shape. Dome-shaped forgings can be produced by the developed process within the limit loads and with the simple tools.

In this study, the complex forging process of an outer support ring was developed and the prototype was manufactured. The current process, hot forging and MCT machining, has a disadvantage of excessive material removal rates and longer machining hours. To overcome this disadvantage, a general shape is given through hot forging and the precision is achieved through cold forging. The complex forging process was developed with the minimal machining process. Forging analysis was carried out to design a forging process using the commercial program, Deform-3D. The hot and cold forging processes were set up based on the analyzed result. The mold and prototype were manufactured. Hardness, surface roughness, internal defect, the grain low line of the prototype were evaluated. The results showed no particular problems, and there were no problems in mass production. Using complex forging, the material was reduced by approximately 27 % compared to the process using hot forging and MCT machining. In addition, the production speed was improved 2.15 fold compared to that of hot forging and MCT machining. Through this study, a cost-effective process and mold design technology were established, which is expected to have positive effects on other related automotive parts production.
