Roll bending process has been used for manufacturing the pipes. However, it is not suitable process for the thick pipes. Knife press forming is acceptable process for the thick pipes. Recently, the knife press forming process using brake bending press have been performed. In this study, the estimation on formability of knife press forming process for the thick pipes is carried out. From the results, it is ensured that the thick pipes could be obtained by the knife press forming process.

Increasing demands for Electric Resistance Welded pipes of high quality with thick wall require c lose investigations in edge deformation by slitting, strip deformation during break down farming, and difference of circumferential length. In order to obtain good quality of a welding zone, it is necessary to predict the edge shape of the initial strip. The modeling of the multi-pass thick tube roll forming process with rigid plastic finite element method ultra the edge shape prediction of an initial strip with 2nd-degree polynomial regression method are presented. Edge shapes of initial strip have been analyzed by the finite element method and designed by the regression method to satisfy the requirements in target fin pass. It is concluded that the proposed edge design method results in optimal edge shapes sat string the design requirements.

In order to increase design efficiency, it is required to design steam boiler pressure parts systematically considering daily start-stop operation and load variation. The objective of this research is to develope an integrated system for increasing design efficiency of boiler pressure parts. The developed system consists of three program modules: (1) flexibility design module for the header stub considering fatigue life, (2) fatigue limit calculation and life evaluation module for the thick-walled boiler pressure part under cyclic operation using TRD301 code, (3) drawing automation module for the header and drum producing design drawings, welding data and bill of materials.
