Strength change of an over-aged A12024 material was studied after being subjected to stages of severe plastic deformation by ECAP (Equal Channel Angular Pressing). Various kinds of strength value were measured using the conventional tensile test, Rockwell and Vickers hardness and the SP (small punch) test Due to limitation of the specimen size, tension test in transverse direction could not be conducted. Hence, SP test was employed for assessing the strength in transverse direction. Based on TEM observation the measured strength characteristics were explained based on the relation between microstructure, dislocation and strength. As the number of ECAP pass increases, the strength of A12024 was also increased. However, considerable change of strength, which is generally predicted, was not observed in this study. For the strength in transverse direction even decrease of the strength was observed after 6 passes of ECAP. It was argued that this decrease was due to dynamic recovery of dislocation density during or after ECAP processes at $150^{\circ}C$. The strength assessment equation proposed by the authors in the previous paper was shown to be very accurate. This argument was supported by comparing the results of conventional tensile test with those of SP test. It was also pointed that the Rockwell har(3ness value seemed to be able to represent the strength in the transverse direction.

다단 딥드로잉의 기술은 제조 비용과 사이클 시간 단축 등의 장점으로 인해서 금속 성형 산업에 널리 적용되고 있다. 다단 딥드로잉으로 만들어진 제품의 형상이 복잡하고 세장비 큰 특징을 가진다. 예를 들어, 휴대 전화의 배터리 캔은 대표적으로 다단 딥드로잉으로 만들어진 제품이다. 배터리캔의 형상은 높이와 두께의 큰 종횡비를 가지고 있기 때문에 제조하기 무척 어렵다. 또한 최종 조립된 부품은 다단계 딥드로잉 후 스프링백으로 인해 조립 문제가 발생한다. 이러한 배터리 캔의 조립 시 발생하는 품질 문제를 개선하기 위해서 는 드로잉 후 스프링을 줄이기는 것이 매우 중요하다. 스프링백을 감소시키기 위해 산업 현장에서는 over bending, corner setting 및 Ironing 등의 경험적 방법을 적용해 왔으나, 본 연구에서는 유한 요소법을 이용한 보토밍(Bottoming)법을 제안하여 스프링을 줄이는 실용적이고 과학적인 방법을 제안하였다. 보토밍은 드로잉으로 성형된 최종 판재에 펀치로 압축 응력을 더욱 부가하여 스프링을 감소시키는 방법이다. 최적의 금형설계를 위해서 다양한 경우의 보토밍 공정 해석 시뮬레이션이 상용 유한요소 해석프로그램 (DYNAFORM)을 이용하여 연구되였다. 보토밍 공정을 적용한 제품의 스프링백 시뮬레이션 결과와 실험 결과와 비교되었고 그 시뮬레이션 결과는 실험과 잘 일치함을 보여 주었다. 결론적으로, 제안된 보토밍 방법은 산업계에서 스프링을 줄이기 위한 실용적인 방법으로 널리 사용될 것으로 예상된다.

As a forming method for curved hull plates more efficient than the flame bending, mechanical bending using multi point press forming and die-less forming is discussed in this paper. the mechanical forming is a flexible manufacturing system for automatically forming of hull parts. It is especially suited to varied curved parts. This paper discusses a multiple point pressing machine composed of a pair of reconfigurable punches in order to achieve the rapid forming of curved hull plates using division forming and presents how forming information is obtained from the given design surface. Although the mechanical forming can be efficient in the metal forming, spring back after pressing is a phenomenon which must be carefully considered when quantifying the process variables. If the spring back is not accurately controlled, the fabricated shell plate cannot meet assembly tolerance. This paper describes the principles to calculate the proper stroke of each punch at the divided areas. the strokes are determined by an iterative process of sequential pressing and spring back compensation from an unfolded flat shape to its given design surface. FEA(finite element analysis) is used to simulate the spring back of the plate and the IDA(iterative displacement adjustment) method adjusts the offset of pressing punches from the deformation results and the design surface. The shape deviations of two surfaces due to spring back are compensated by integrated system using FEA and IDA method. For the practical application, It is aimed to develop an integrated system that can automatically perform the compensation process and calculate strokes of punches of the double sides' reconfigurable multiple-press machine and some experimental results obtained with mechanical bending are presented.
