Bending using high-frequency induction heating is used to bend pipes and sections, and is currently widely applied in industrial fields such as power generation facilities, ships, onshore plants, and offshore plants. The purpose of this study is to study the manufacturing process and design technology of high-frequency bending of pipe to make the best pipe design arrangement. Although various studies are being conducted in the field of high-frequency bending, more research is needed on high-frequency bending of pipes for ship building and offshore plants. The purpose of this study is to review the feasibility of production design using 3D model tool of S3D and AM(PDMS), and to review and improve bending thickness reduction, reduction rate, and roundness.

본 연구에서는 소나무의 고부가적 이용을 위한 휨가공 특성을 조사하였다. 먼저 휨가공에 영향을 미치는 수종 특성에 대하여 조사하였다. 다음으로 섬유경사각과 휨가공 특성의 관계에 대하여 조사하였다. 시험편은 섬유경사각 $0^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$, $90^{\circ}$와 치수 $10mm(T){\times}20mm(R){\times}350mm(L)$로 제작하였다. 휨가공 전의 고주파조사 시간은 30, 60, 90, 120초로 하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 섬유경사각의 크기는 휨가공에 있어 탄성계수와 높은 상관이 있었으며, 섬유경사각이 커질수록 휨가공 성능이 크게 증가하였다. 2 강도적인 측면을 고려할 때, 지나치게 큰 섬유경사각은 강도가 약하기 때문에 휩가공채의 용도에 따라 적당한 섬유경사각의 크기가 조정되어야 할 것으로 판단되었다. 3. 휨가공성은 수종에 따라 현저하게 차이가 있는 것으로 조사되었고 수종특성이 명백히 존재하였다.

This study investigates the causes of wrinkle defects in PA12-insulated busbars used in electric vehicles and proposes an improvement method to address these issues. Busbars, essential components for efficient current transmission in electric vehicle battery modules, require complex three-dimensional bending to optimize internal layouts. For this study, oxygen-free copper busbars with a 0.8 mm PA12 insulation coating were subjected to three types of bending tests: flat bending, edge bending, and torsional bending. Experimental results showed that wrinkle defects only occurred during edge bending, while flat and torsional bending modes exhibited no significant issues. Cross-sectional analysis revealed that the PA12 insulation layer's thickness was uneven, with thinner sections on flat areas and thicker accumulation at the comers. This uneven distribution led to poor adhesion between the insulation and copper layers, resulting in the formation of wrinkles, particularly in areas with air gaps ranging from 75 to 250 ㎛. To further analyze the issue, finite element analysis (FEA) of the bending process was performed under adhesive and non-adhesive conditions. The results confirmed that wrinkles formed when the adhesion between the copper and PA12 coating was insufficient. Improved adhesion conditions, achieved through a heat treatment process at 120℃ for 2 hours, significantly reduced the occurrence of wrinkles during edge bending. This study demonstrates that optimizing the adhesion between the insulation coating and the copper busbar, through controlled heat treatment, can prevent wrinkle defects. The findings provide a pathway for enhancing the durability and performance of insulated busbars in electric vehicle applications.

Sheet or plate bending is one of the most important industrial metal forming processes. And considerable attention has been focused on gaining a better understanding of many of bending characteristics. One of defaults in bending process is the springback. In this study, the springback characteristics of tailor-welded strips in U-bending process was investigated. Furthermore, not only the relationships between the springback and the process variables such as the geometry of the tools and thickness combination of workpiece but also the heat effect which affects the springback due to welding process was experimentally considered. First, tailor-welded strips are joined by the laser welding process and consisted of two types of thickness combinations of the SCPI sheet, 0.8t${\times}$1.2t and 0.8${\times}$1.6t to investigate the effect of different thickness combination on the springback. Secondly, two different directionally welded strips, one was welded along the centerline of the strip-width and the other was along the centerline of strip-length, were adopted to compare the effects of the location of weld line on the springback. And three punch profile radii of 3, 9, and 15 m were used. Some cases of the experimental results were simulated by using a commercial FEM code, PAM-STAMP to compare the experimental results to the analytical ones.

Springback is one of factors affecting precision in metal forming. Its effect is particularly prominent in bending process. In this study, bending and forging process are used in order to manufacture a micro spring with two bending region from $60{\mu}m$ diameter wire. Springback in the process lowers the precision of the micro spring. Overbending for springback compensation has wide usage in a general way. However, this method requires repeated modifications of press dies until the tolerance is allowable, which causes that production cost and time increase. In this paper, we analyzed the mechanism of springback in the forming process of the micro spring using finite element method. In addition, a simple method to control springback without modifying dies was proposed by performing numerical analysis with various parameters.

To reduce the weight of the car and ensure the safety of the driver while driving, the existing 440 MPa-class mounting bracket was treated at 590MPa to improve collision safety and secure the weight of the vehicle body. The following conclusions were drawn from the tensile test, forming analysis, and springback prediction. In the formability and springback analyses using FLD, it could be confirmed that bending was an essential process because the formability and flatness were much better when bending was added than when bending was not applied. Based on the research results, it was deduced that the mold design was necessary so that the molding was carried out at a strain rate of 20% or less for stable molding.

The purpose of this work is to develop of a press forming process for mobile phone battery cover as an alternative to the current manufacturing process by laser welding. This press forming process consists of a combination of bending, side pressing and side bending operations. The dimensional error for each process was investigated by finite element(FE) analysis and the Taguchi optimization method. The spreading of the cover width in the side pressing process was adjusted by modifying the blank shape with a notch. The over-bending method was adopted to compensate the spring-back which occurs after bending. Forming experiments were performed to verify the reliability of the developed press forming process. In addition, the strength of the product was evaluated to verify the suitability of the battery cover manufactured with this new press forming process. The results of the forming experiments indicate that the dimensional accuracy of the battery cover is within the required tolerance. The strength of the battery cover was evaluated to 547N which is larger than required strength of 400N.

A parametric study was conducted on the effects of five fundamental design parameters on springback, including die clearance, step height, step width, punch radius, and taper relief in an L-bending process, controlled by the compression force. The experiment was also conducted to verify the usefulness of the parametric study procedure for process design, as well as the finite element predictions. The elastoplastic finite element method was utilized. The L-bending process of the york product, which is a key part of the breaker mechanism, was employed. The deformation of the material was assumed to be due to plane strain. Five samples of each design parameter were selected based on experiences in terms of process design. The finite element predictions were analyzed in detail to show a shortcut towards the process design improvement which can replace the traditional process design procedure relying on trial-and-errors. The improved process design was verified to meet all the requirements and the predictions and experiments were in good agreement.

The U-draw bending operation is known as a representative test method for springback evaluation of sheet metals since the sheet in U-draw bending operation undergoes stretching, bending and unbending deformations occurred at read stamping process. In this study, a simplified approach was proposed for predicting springback and side-wall curls in U-draw bending operations, using moment-curvature relationships derived for sheets undergoing stretching, bending and unbending deformation.
