An UBET(Upper Bound Elemental Techniquel) program has been developed to analyze forging load, die-cavity filling and effective strain distribution for flashless non-axisymmetric forging. To analyze the process easily, it is suggested that the deforma- tion is divided into two different parts. Those are axisymmetric part in corner and plane- strain part in lateral. The total power consumption is minimized through combination of two deformation parts by building block method, form which the upper-bound forging load, the flow pattern, the grid pattern, the velocity distribution and the effective strain are deter- mined. To show the merit of flashless forging, the results of flashless and flash-forging processes are compared through theory and experiment. Experiments have been carried out with plasticine billets at room temperature. The theoretical predictions of the forging load and the flow pattern are in good agrement with the experimental results.

Microstructure evolution and tensile properties of Al-8mass%Mg alloy casting billet by biaxial alternative forging were investigated in this study. An alternative forging system tailored in this study was used to allow continuous strain accumulations on the alloy workpiece. A finite element (FE) simulation results revealed that the strain was mainly concentrated in the core and that the shear bands developed into a form with an X shape in the cross-section of workpiece after the alternative forging using octangular rod shaped dies. With increasing the forging passes, it was observed that the Al-8mass%Mg alloy workpieces were significantly deformed, and cracks began to form and propagate on the both ends of the forged workpieces after five passes at room temperature. In as-forged microstructures taken by microscopes, twins, clustering of dislocations, and fine subgrains were found. Tensile strengths of the forged specimens showed significant increases depending on the number of forging passes, and a trade-off relationship was observed between the elongation and strength. At room temperature and 100℃ the workpieces showed similar behaviors in microstructural evolution and tensile properties depending on forging passes, while the increase range in strength was reduced at 200℃.

Closed-die forging of external spine is analysed using an upper bound elemental technique. The kinematically admissible velocity field for three-dimensional deformation in forging of the external spine with trapezoidal teeth was obtained. The upper bound to the deforming load necessary and the the deformed configurations are predicted using integration of the formulation of energy expressions which were obtained from B(upset forging method) were considerd in the present analysis and the theoretical results compared with experimental ones Experiments were carried out on plasticine as model material at room temperature where talcum powder was used as a lubricant. The present investigation revealed that the analytical method B predicts a reducet forging load and improved configuration better than method A for the forged products.

Helical gears are machined from blanks, which are usually prepared by forging cylindrical billets at high temperatures through buster, blocker and finisher processes. As dimensions of the blank are closer to those of the machined part, machining cost can be more reduced. Therefore, there are a lot of efforts being made to optimize the forging processes in order to produce near-net shaped blanks. In the present investigation, a rigid viscoplastic finite element technique was used to analyze a helical gear blank hot forging processes and deformation, strain and temperature distributions, forging load variations during forging were obtained. In the paper, it is discussed how these results can be utilized to optimize die design, billet dimensions and press usage.

AI7075 alloy has been used for aircraft components since it has the advantage of high strength, high toughness, and high corrosion resistance. Many airframe components consist of various combinations of rib-web structure. In this study, various process paramenters such as die design, lubricant, ram speed, forging temperature have been investigated using the experiment and F.E.M. simulation to develop the precision forging technology for AI7075. When lubricant is applied to both material and die, shear friction factor is 0.1 which shows best effect of lubricant. It is specific corner radius of die that minimized forging load regarding process conditions, especially according to the ratio of the width of rib and web. In conclusion, optimum corner radius is 2~3mm when the width of rib and web is 3mm and 20mm respectively.

This paper describes about the estimation method of die lift by wear and plastic deformation in hot forging process. The thermal load and the thermal softening are happened by the high temperature in hot forging process. Tool lift decreases considerably due to the softening of the surface layer of a tool caused by high thermal load and long contact time between tool and billet. Also, tool life is to a large extent limited by wear, heat crack and plastic deformation in hot forging process. Above all, the main factors which affects die accuracy and tool lift are wear and the plastic deformation of a die. The new developed technique for predicting tool life applied to estimate the production quantity for a spindle component and these techniques assist to improve the tool life in hot forging process.

The nickel-based alloy Nimonic 80A possesses strength, and corrosion, creep and oxidation resistance at high temperature. The exhaust valves of low speed diesel engines are usually operated at temperature levels of 400-$600^{\circ}C$ and high pressure to enhance thermal efficiency and exposed to the corrosion atmosphere by the exhaust gas. Also, the exhaust valve is subjected to repeated thermal and mechanical loads. So, the nickel-based alloy Nimonic 80A was used for the large exhaust valve spindle. It is composed a 540mm diameter head and a 125mm diameter stem. It is developed large products by hot closed-die forging. Manufacturing process analysis of the large exhaust valve spindle was simulated by closed die forging with hydraulic press and cooled in air after forging. The preform was heated to $1080^{\circ}C$ Numerical calculation was performed by DEFORM-2D, a commercial finite element code. Heat transfer can be coupled with the deformation analysis in a non-isothermal deformation analysis. Mechanical properties of the large exhaust valve spindle were evaluated by the variety of tests, including microstructure observation, tensile, as well as hardness and fatigue tests, were conducted to evaluate the mechanical properties for head part of exhaust valve spindle.
