본 연구에서는 냉간단조공정에서 성형하중과 금형내 응력집중 감소를 위해 자동차 엔진 밸브 스프링 리테이너 제품의 형상최적화를 위한 금형형상 최적설계를 수행하였다. 기존 생산에 사용되는 각 성형공정별 냉간단조 금형에 대한 유한요소해석 시뮬레이션을 통해 절단공정을 포함해 총 6공정으로 구성되어 있는 냉간단조공정 별 단조 프리폼의 성형 시에 발생하는 성형하중과 성형유동 특성을 분석하였으며, 이를 통해 금형 내 응력집중이 발생하는 주요 설계인자를 확인하였다. 상형금형과 하형금형부의 챔퍼(chamfer) 및 에지필렛(edge fillet) 형상을 대상으로 4인자 3수준 설계인자 및 변수 수준을 설정하고, 성형해석 시뮬레이션과 다구찌법을 활용하여 설계인자별 영향도를 분석하여 최적의 최적설계인자를 결정하였다. 본 연구를 통해 얻어진 최적설계변수를 적용하여 엔진밸브 스프링 리테이너의 최적설계 시뮬레이션 결과, 각 프리폼 성형공정별로 최대 36 %, 전체 공정 평균 20 %의 성형하중 감소 효과를 얻을 수 있었다. 엔진의 고효율, 고출력, 고성능화 목표가 지속적으로 높아짐에 따라 고강도 소재의 활용이 많아지게 되어 이에 대응할 수 있는 성형공정 및 금형설계의 최적화가 필요하며, 향후 연구 결과를 활용하여 현업에 적용하여 제품단조성형성 개선 및 금형수명관리를 위한 기술자료로 활용하고자 한다.

The torsional forward extrusion is the process that is executed by punch travel and die rotation. The advantages of having the die rotation on this process are that forming load can be reduced and optimal die angle can be increased. This provides a possibility to extrude cold-worded material where a large extrusion force and die angle are required. Also, this process can improve the material properties owing to the high deformation and uniform strain distribution. The forming load and optimal die angle of this process are determined by the upper bound analysis using stream function and the optimization technique. To verify the theoretical result, we have carried out experiments and FE simulations using DEFORM3D.

Rotary swaging is a process for reducing the cross-sectional area or changing the shape of bar, tube or wires by repeated radial blows with one or more parirs of opposed dies. The present study is concerned with investigation the effect of process parameters upon product quality(hardness, roughness, precision of dimension). To enhance the product quality, experimental works are carried out for some process parameters such as forming speed, billet shape, lubrication, reduction of area and ratio of t/D. Rod shift formed by RSM25 under cold conditions has good surface quality, hardness and precision of dimension. The recommendable process conditions are suggested for solid and tubular products.

A semi-solid forming technology has a lot of advantages compared to the die casting, squeeze casting and hot/cold forging, so semi-solid forming has been studied actively. Semi-solid forming has two methods. One is thixoforming with reheating of prepared billet, the other is rheoforming with cooled melt until semi-solid state. Thixoforging technology can produce non-dendritic alloys for semi-solid forming complex shaped parts in metal alloys. In this study, the thixoforging was experimented with made rheology materials by the spiral stirrer equipment. Rheology materials for forging were made by A356 casting aluminum alloy and A6061 wrought aluminum alloy. After experiment, forged samples were measured microstructure and were heat treated for high mechanical properties.

In this paper, the metal forming process is caused of rise of the unit cost of production in increase of the lead-time and cost because of manufacturing final product through a few the number of processes. Flow control complex forming is proposed to put into formulation in order to apply cold forging from conventional approximate similarity theory, and the forming loads of the real material(AISI 1008) can be calculated by put at the new similarity formula the load by plasticine model material experiment through hub clutch. In order to reduce lead-time and cost the technology is used to manufacture with lower die of this product. By the application synthetic resin as the raw material, it is have the merit such short lead-time, low cost, good surface finish etc., as compared with the machine work.

A new forming technology has been developed to fabricate near-net shape products using light metal. A semi-solid forming technology has some advantages compared with the conventional forming processes such as die casting squeeze casting and hot/cold forging. In this study the numerical analysis of semi-solid filling for a straight die shape and orifice die shape in gate pattern is studied on semi-solid materials(SSM) of solid fraction fs =30% in A356 aluminum alloy. The finite difference program of Navier-Stokes equation coupled with heat transfer and solidification has been developed to predict a filling pattern and the temperature distribution of SSM. The programdeveloped in this study gives die filling patterns of SSM and final solidifica-tion region.

Interface friction in blanking dies, cold forging and extrusion of aluminum alloys is a major cause of inefficient process. This paper describes an investigation of femtosecond laser texturing for reduction of interface friction on sliding surfaces in forming process. Femtosecond direct writing technology was used to fabricate a laser micro-machined die and to create microgroove patterns with varying size and density on metal forming dies. A systematic approach to find the optimum parameters and computer simulation comparison of friction coefficients are provided to study the relation of friction coefficients and die profiles. In metal forming tests, the effectiveness of various laser-machined patterns for enhancing interface lubrication is determined.

This paper deals with an automated computer-aided process planning and die design system by which designer can determine operation sequences even if they have a little experience in process planning and die design for axisymmetric products. An attempt is made to link programs incorporating a number of expert design rules with the process variables obtained by commercial FEM softwares, DEFORM and ANSYS, to form a useful package. The system is composed of four main modules. The process planning and the die design modules consider several factors, such as the complexities of preform geometry, punch and die profiles, specifications of available multi former, and the availability of standard parts. They can provide a flexible process based on either the reduction in the number of forming sequences by combining the possible two processes in sequence, or the reduction of deviation of the distribution on the level of the required forming loads by controlling the forming ratios. Especially in die design module an optimal design technique and horizontal split die were investigated for determining appropriate dimensions of components of multi-former die set. It is constructed that the proposed method can be beneficial for improving the tool life of die set at practice.

This paper presents an investigation of the ability of the scheme to simultaneously accomplish both prediction of fracture initiation and analysis of deformation in cold forged products. The Cockcroft-Latham criterion which is successfully applied to a variety of loading situations is used in the present investigation to estimate if and where surface and internal fracture occur during the deformation process. The numerical predictions and experimental results of two types of fundamental cold metal forming process taken into account are compared. Finite element simulation combined with fracture criterion has successfully predicted the site of surface or internal fracture initiation and corresponding to level of deformation observed experimentally.

The importance and interests for saving of energy and cost in industry has been steadily grown up. Therefore, process optimization to reduce the processing step and energy is one of the most important things. The micro-alloyed steel of which post-heat-treatment is not necessary, has attractive points for high strength materials. However, for the application of non-heat-treated steel to structural parts, it is necessary to confirm the reliability of mechanical properties. In order to estimate mechanical properties. The microstructure, hardness, tensile strength, compressive strength and tensile fatigue strength of micro-alloyed steel having 900MPa tensile strength has been investigated.
