In this study, design methodology to determine optimal shape of the anvil in sizing press process has been proposed to minimize crop length of the AISI 1010 slab in horizontal rolling after width reduction. Shape of anvil were selected to 12 cases by design of experiment, and the dog-bone shapes and the crop length were determined by FE-analysis. Also, the anvil shape, which has minimum crop length, were determined by artificial neural network(ANN). As a result of FE-analysis, it can be seen that the crop length was increased with increasing center thickness in the dog-bone shape after width reduction. The anvil shape which has minimum crop length, was estimated to ${\theta}_{1}=21^{\circ}{\theta}_{2}=14^{\circ}$ by FE-analysis and ANN.

In hot press forming process, the desired high strength can be obtained through quenching process after cold forming of product. The quenching process, however, accompanies undesired distortion due to the volume change during the phase transformation as well as by thermal contraction. In this study the numerical simulation with DEFORM3D-Microstructure is used to predict the deformed shape during the quenching for the quenching fixture design.

Plate bending process is indispensible in shipbuilding. The process includes press bending process and heating process. Especially the heating process is carried out exclusively by skillful workers. Many researches have been made to automate the heating process. This study was carried out as a fundamental study to develop a efficient analysis method for triangle heating and focused on clarifying the deformation characteristics of plate by triangle heating and essential elements effect on the deformation. In this paper, we proposed an analysis model for thermal-elastic-plastic analysis and simulated the deformation by triangle heating using ANSYS based on the experimental results of Jang et al.(2001). Also, we showed the deformation characteristics more clearly by comparing the deformation due to triangle heating and line heating in case that the total heat input is same. Finally, we investigated the change characteristics of deformation elements according to the volumetric heat input.

최근 자동차 산업이 발달함에 따라 철강업계와 자동차 회사에서는 전에 많이 사용하던 내연 무도금강판 대신 부식에 저항력이 강한 도금강판을 사용한 이후로 냉연강판의 가공 시에 야기되지 않았던 많은 문제점들이 나타났다 자동차용 강판의 경우 판재의 체적에 비하여 금형과 판재의 접촉면적이 큰 프레스 공정에서는 판재의 표면에 작용하는 마찰력의 크기가 판재의 스탬핑 성형성에 큰 영향을 미친다. 이는 마찰특성이 비록 재료고유의 성형한계에서는 영향을 미치지 못하나 스탬핑 공정에 있어서 금형과의 접촉면에서 마찰력의 크기가 패널의 변형률분포를 변화시켜 스탬핑 성형성에 큰 영향을 주는 것이다. 따라서 본 연구는 자동차용 도금강판의 표면 거칠기에 따른 판재의 표면 마찰 특성 변화를 알아보았다. 소재의 기계적 특성 측정은 UTM을 사용하였고, 도금층은 XRD, SEM을 이용하여 상분석 하였으며, 표면 거칠기는 AFM(Atomic Force Microscope), SJ-400(Mitutoyo)을 사용하여 표면 거칠기를 측정하였다. 또 드로잉 하중을 비드부에서의 굽힘-굽힘 풀림 소성변형에 의한 변형력 성분과 마찰력 성분으로 분리하여 강판의 쿠롬 마찰계수를 DBS(Draw bead simulation)로 측정하였다.

A shield connector is an automotive electrical component that is used to connect electrical wiring in a vehicle. This part is made by progressive pressing using a phosphor bronze material with high electrical conductivity. The shape of the product is not complicated, but plastic forming techniques are required, such as deep drawing and bending, as well as shearing techniques such as piercing and notching. The finite element method was used to model the process. The strip layout design stage of the progressive die makes it possible to examine the thickness change, the stability of the forming process, and the spring-back. As a result of this analysis, it is possible to predict the correction values for the tendency of cracks, wrinkles, and incomplete plastic deformation, and to identify possible problems in advance. As a countermeasure against the forming error caused by the drawing process analysis, the drawing shape was modified and applied in the process design. For effective material utilization, a 3D strip layout was designed using an optimized blank shape based on nesting. The results improve the crack stability and spring-back of shield connector products produced through progressive pressing.

3D-structured (embossed) aluminum sheets have been used in the heat insulation purpose for automative exhaust parts because of increasing their surface areas and stiffness reinforcement imposed in making the embossing pattern. However, there are many restrictions in press forming of the embossed sheet compared with the flat sheet (non-embossed one) because of its difference in the mechanical properties and the geometrical 3-dimensional shape. In this paper we investigated the deformation characteristic of embossed aluminum sheet in the incremental sheet forming process which has frequently used in the design verification and the trial manufacturing of sheet products. The single point incremental forming (SPIF) experiments for the rectangular cone forming using the CNC machine with a chemical wood-machined die and a circular tool shape showed that the formability of the embossed sheet are better than that of the flat sheet in view of the maximum angle of cone forming. This comes from the fact that the embossed sheet between the tool and the elastic die wall is plastically compressed and the flatted area contributes to increase the plastic deformation. Also the tool path along the outward movement from the center showed a better formability than that of the inward movement from the edge. However the surface quality for the tool path along the outward movement evaluated from the surface deflection is inferior than that of the tool path along the inward movement.

It is faced with the necessity of multi roll forming process of the ball slide rail which is made by adding the separate manufacturing processes, piercing, bending, trimming, to the roll forming process of a continuous plastic deformation, to improve the quality. However, the vibration and noise of the press machine in this process leads to the quality degradation of slide rail manufactured in this process. In this study, the roll was designed considering the optimal strain rates by the roll forming program with finite element method. And to estimate the static stability of the multi process the Von-Mises stress and deformation on the press was calculated with a structural analysis program. Also, to avoid driving systems in the resonance region their natural frequencies in the 1st and 2nd mode were calculated through the modal analysis. To verify its dynamic stability improvement the magnitudes of noise and vibration in the existing and studied system were compared using a microphone and accelerometers. And the widths and surface roughnesses of the rails which had been produced in the existing and studied process were measured. Therefore, it is known that multi roll forming process is stable in the analytical and experimental study.

A numerical method for analyzing non-isothermal, rigid-viscoplastic deformation problems has been presented. As an application, a stretch forming of sheet metals, including temperature effect, has been analyzed by a three-dimensional finite element method. Bishop`s step-wise decoupled method is adopted to solve thermomechanical coupling between deformation and heat transfer. Using the method, the effect of temperature on strain distribution during stretch forming is investigated. By comparison of the non-isothermal results with isothermal analysis, the importance of including temperature effects in the analysis of metal forming problems is emphasized. The predicted results were in good agreement with the existing experimental measurements at the different punch temperatures and dome heights investigated. It is also found that any increase of the punch temperature appeared to postpone the strain localization process by lowering the peak strain in the critical punch-sheet contact region and by normalizing strain distribution within the specimen.

The metal front case of a mobile phone is manufactured by press forming and welding of thin metal sheets. Twisting of the frame after the forming process is one of main obstacle for the assembly with reinforcement by welding. This study introduces a method preventing twisting of the metal front case frame in press forming. The spring-back after forming produces twisting of the frame, which leads to a low structural stiffness. To reduce twisting, connectors are required to reinforce the structural stiffness of the frame. In this study, the twisting profile is evaluated using a finite element(FE) analysis for various connector shapes. The actual connector shape is determined by minimization of the frame twisting within the tolerance of the FE-analysis. To verify the validity of the proposed blank shape, a forming experiment is performed and the twisting profile is measured using a 3D laser scanning method. The dimensional accuracy is found to be within the tolerance and in good agreement with the FE-analysis.
