A simulation method basee on upper bound method is developed in order to characterize forging characters in forging of spur gears. In this paer, utlizing a kinematically admissible velocity field and applying it to study the effect of inner diameter of holow billet. To predict the variation of inner diameter of hollow billet, neutal surface has been introduced into forging of hollow gears from hollow billes with flat punch. The neutral surface of each step is assumed as a circle and determined in order to have minimum forging energy by golden section method. According to the analysis, the magnitude of inner diameter of initial billet is vary important to reduce the relative pressure and forging load. And the variation of inner diameter of billet during spur gear forging is successfully predicted.

${\alpha}$-titanium alloy has a relatively low heat treatment characteristic and it is mainly subjected to heat treatment for residual stress, recovery or dynamic recrystallization. In this study, commercially pure titanium hollow castings was fabricated by gravity casting. Heat treatments were carried out at $750^{\circ}C$, $850^{\circ}C$ and $950^{\circ}C$ to investigate the effect of post-heat treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties. Beta-transus temperature ($T_{\beta}$) was about $913^{\circ}C$, and equiaxed microstructure was shown at temperature below $T_{\beta}$ and lath-type microstructure at temperature above $T_{\beta}$. Microstructure and mechanical properties did not show any significant difference in the direction of solidification for titanium hollow billet, so it can be seen that it was a well-made material for extrusion process. The optimum heat treatment condition of hollow billet castings for the seamless tube production was $850^{\circ}C$, 4 hr, FC, indicating a combination of equiaxed microstructure and appropriate mechanical properties.

Traditional forging of a hollow T-shaped part has been applied to forge a solid T-shaped product from a solid billet and then to machine the hollow in that. In a case, a hollow T-shaped part can be forged by backward-extruding from a solid billet. In this study, four types of forging were suggested for manufacture of hollow T-shaped parts. Forging simulations for each of these forging methods were carried out to investigate folding defect, metal flow pattern, effective strain, and forging loads. Experimental works were carried out to be compared with the simulation results. Here, the ratio of the thickness of the hollow tube to that of the flange was selected to investigate a forging defect like folding.

The use of aluminum alloy has been interested in the automotive industry, because of its specific strength. And hollow extruded billet is more attractive than solid extruded billet but its forming application has to be precisely processed to satisfy the product quality. In this research, the process design of forming of control arm for the vehicle was studied by press bending process with hollow extruded billet. The middle protrusion portions and the middle cylindrical cup were processed separately according to the analysis. It was concluded that a useful sequence is to bend the side flange and the middle protrusion portions firstly, and then to form the middle cylindrical cup.

Porthole die extrusion has a great advantage in the forming of hollow section tubes difficult to produce by conventional extrusion with a mandrel on the stem. Because of the complicated structure of die assembly, extrusion process as a forming of hollow section tubes has been investigated experimentally Therefore, analytic approaches that are useful in profitable die design and in the improvement of productivity are inevitably demanded Welding strength is affected by many parameters, which are such as extrusion ratio, extrusion speed, die shape, porthole number, bearing length, billet temperature and mandrel shape. In this paper, the parameters, which are such as billet temperature, bearing length and tube thickness, are examined. The welding pressures are examined through 3D simulation of non steady state and compared with experimental results.

This paper describes the determination of optimal initial billet size for axisymmetric cold forging products using neural networks. The determination of optimal initial billet size is very important in forging design and forming sequence design, because the result of such designs and forming load can be different by variable initial billet sizes. The forming difficulty has been defined as the degree of difficulty in forming by 3 process ' forward extrusion, backward extrusion and upsetting. By neural networks a forming difficulty can be determined with the ratio of shape and forming process. From the graph of maximum, minimum, and average forming difficulties by variable billet sizes, the optimal billet size can be determined. The initial billets of a solid part and a hollow part whichwas determined by this study are compared with the sequence drawing generated by the one of forming sequence design system.

The eccentric extrusion and bending process for the forming of the curved rectangular hollow tube is newly developed. Generally the bending process of hollow tube is the secondary process followed by the extrusion process of the hollow tube from the round billet. So many defects such as wrinkling and the difference of wall thickness can be happened during the secondary bending process. In order to avoid the defects the new process named as "the eccentric extrusion and bending process" is suggested and applied to the U-bending of rectangular hollow tube. In this paper the kinematically admissible velocity field between the dies surface and the internal plug boundary surface s developed for the curving velocity. By the using of this curving velocity field the curvature of extruded products can be calculated with the parameters such as eccentricity dies length friction constant aspect ratio.

A hollow flanged spindle is generally used for the assembly of the driving shaft in some vehicles. This part has conventionally been manufactured by both hot forging and machining process, in which case a circular billet is hot-forged into a flanged spindle blank and then its central part is machined for hollow. Therefore, the development of a new forming technology without further machining processes has strongly been in demand. In this study, a new compound forging process of the hollow flanged spindle was proposed through the finite element simulation. By the proposed compound forging process, both extruding of the spindle body part and piercing for the hollow inside it can be performed at the same time. Metal flow patterns, forging defects and forging forces were investigated through the finite element simulation results.

Forging of an inner pulley for compressor clutch assembly of car air conditioner is investigated in this study. In cold forging of inner pulley, the design requirements are to keep the same height of the inner rib and the outer one, and to make uniform the hardness distribution in the forged product. Using the rigid-plastic finite element simulation. we design the optimal process conditions, which has a performing operation. Also the final product configuration of forging has to be designed again in view of the metal flow involved in the operation, derived from the finite element simulations. The forged pulley is investigated by checking the hardness distribution and it is noted that the distribution has improved to be even and high enough for industrial application.
