In order to obtain the initial starting sample having a random texture and fine grains, aluminum alloy 3103 sheets were repeatedly deformed by CCSS up to six passages and subsequently annealed at $300^{\circ}C$ for 1h. These samples were cold rolled at room temperature and also warm rolled at $250^{\circ}C$. Changes in rolling temperature gave rise to the different texture evolution. Warm rolling led to the pronounced texture gradients comprising the shear texture at the surface and the rolling texture at the sheet center. The formation of the rolling texture components, i.e., the ${\beta}$-fiber, was promoted by cold rolling than warm rolling.

Since the formability of AZ31 magnesium alloy is not good in room temperature, it is known that high temperature forming is advantageous. However, many studies are necessary to find the proper forming temperature for Mg alloy. In this study, experimental and FEM analysis are performed to investigate the forming temperature for AZ31 sheet. The deep drawing process of square cup is used in forming experiment and FEA. The investigations are performed in three forming temperature, room temperature, $250^{\circ}C\;and\;400^{\circ}C$. The square cup is well formed in $250^{\circ}C$ forming temperature, on the other hand, the crack and failure is presented in corner section in room and $250^{\circ}C$ forming temperature. The main cause is investigated as the effect of hardening range by the experimental and FEM results.

Heat transfer coefficients have great influence on finite element analysis results in elevated temperature forging processes. Experimentally calculated contact heat transfer coefficient is not suitable for one-time finite element analysis because analyzed temperature will be appeared to be too low. To get contact heat transfer coefficient for one-time finite element analysis, tool temperature in operation was measured with thermocouple and repeated finite element analysis was performed with experimentally calculated contact and cooling heat transfer coefficient. Surface temperature of active tool was obtained comparing measurement and analysis results. Contact heat transfer coefficient for one-time finite element analysis was achieved analyzing surface temperature between repeated finite element analysis and one-time finite element analysis results.

The limiting drawing ratio (LDR) under uniform heating of blanks was measured at the various temperature ranges between 25 and 25$0^{\circ}C$ by using two different blank shapes, square and circular blanks, and six different blank sizes with the drawing ratios(DR) of 2.4 to 2.9. The galvannealed steel sheet (SCP3CM 60/60) of 0.7mm thickness were used. The LDR at warm forming condition reached 1.2 times of that at room temperature, and the maximum drawing depth reached 1.9 times. The higher temperature was adopted, the more stable and uniform thickness strain distribution was observed. Some cases of the experimental results were compared with the analitical results using the commercial finite element method (FEM) code.

The effect of press warm forming in cylindrical deep drawing of stainless-aluminum clad sheet metals are examined . The temperature of die and blank holder is varied from room temperature to 20$0^{\circ}C$, while the punch is kept cooled during test to increase the fracture strength of workpiece on the punch corner area. Test materials chosen for experiments are STS304-Al050-STS304, STS304-A1050-STS430-, STS304 and Al050 metals and teflon film as a lubricant is used on both sides of a workpiece. The limit drawing ration as well as quality of drawn cups (distribution of thickness and hardness)are investigated and discussed.

In this paper, the deformation method for inner and outer races of rollr-bearing bymeans of the warm precision forging is investigated. We adapted the process designsuch as following that, toincrease Die life, reduce heat transfer through conduction and the eccentricity of preform in warm forging of bearing gace, the bottom portion of billet is formed during upsetting process. Then it is backward extruded, and thus obtained ring preform is formed by combined extrusion. Also, we compared it with the froming method in China and Japan, and we have known it is more excellent method. Basides, this forming method is simulated by UBST which is based on the merits of UBET nd FEM. The results show that it is easy to know the exact location of neutral surface through the inspection of streamline during combined extrusion, and the velocity vector distribution along the surface of velocity discontinuity is investigationed. Also the effectiveness of this method is proved by te experiment using model material that is Plasticine.

Copper magnetron anode of a microwave-oven consists of an cylindrical outer-tube and various inner-vanes. The magnetron anode is produced by the complex process ; vane blanking, pipe cutting and sliver-alloy brazing of vanes. Recently, the backward extrusion process for forming vanes has been developed to avoid the complex procedures. The developed process is analyzed by using upper-bound elemental technique(UBET). In the UBET analysis, the upper-bound load, the configuration and the vane-height of final extruded product are determined by minimizing the total power consumption with respect to chosen parameters. To verify theoretical analysis, experiments have been carried out with pure plasticine billets at room temperature, using different web-thickness and number of vanes. The theoretical predictions both for forming load and vane-height are in reasonable agreement with the experimental results.

Cu-Ni-Zr-Ti bulk amorphous thin strips were produced by multi-pass warm rolling of the amorphous powder at temperatures in the supercooled liquid region. Process variables for rolling of the bulk amorphous strips were properly controlled to prevent onset of crystallization and failure during rolling up to three passes. During rolling of the amorphous powder, both the deformation and densification took place and the newly developed surface on the deformed amorphous particles enhances the consolidation leading to an increase in the strength. The strain state during rolling was analyzed by FEM.

Mechanical properties of AZ31 alloy sheet at elevated temperature $250^{\circ}C$ are obtained from uniaxial tensile tests and based on these results, a series of square cup deep drawing tests at the same temperature condition are carried out. Also, the possibilities of necking initiation is predicted by the FEM and FLD and compared with experimental results.

This study focuses on the warm forging of a magnesium alloy impeller used for the fuel cell. The impeller has the very complicated shape with sharply twisted blade and thus is generally produced by mechanical machining or casting process. However, since these technologies give the high manufacturing cost or poor mechanical properties, the forging technology is required to make the high-quality impeller with the lower manufacturing cost. In order for production of the impeller by warm forging technology, the parametric studies using finite element analyses were carried out to find the optimal perform shape of impeller. Based on the FE simulation results, dies for impeller forging were designed and the resultant forged impeller was shown.
