Roll forming process is one of the most widely used processes in the world for forming metals such as a furniture drawer guide or an up and down slide guide. It can manufacture goods of the uniform cross section on a large scale throughout the continuous processing. In the domestic design and manufacture, roll forming process for production is taking most of the method of 2-point under rail slide. However, this method is vulnerable to the structural strength and stiffness is not suitable for high load conditions. Therefore, through systematic study of high load, low noise 3-point ball type of under rail slide its own design and manufacturing technology is the need to build. In this paper, to make center member of 3-point ball-type under rail slide for the refrigerator doors, the roll forming modeling and simulation are performed. Tensile test is performed about SCP-1 1/2H for determine the mechanical properties of materials. Modeling and simulation of roll forming is used MSC.MARC software of a dedicated analysis program used by rigid plastic finite element method. Interference between the roll and the final shape are predicted from the results of the simulation.

In aluminum sheet metal forming, the conventional forming methods of T4 or T6 heat-treated sheets result in low formability and dimensional accuracy. This study suggests a new forming method for aluminum sheets called as hot forming quenching (HFQ) that solves the problems faced in the conventional method. HFQ combines the heat treatment and forming processes through the forming die during the quenching of a solid solution. To evaluate the application of HFQ to the sheet forming of aluminum, an Erichsen and V-bending test are performed in this study to measure the dimensional accuracy and formability, which are then compared with those of the conventional forming method. Furthermore, the strength and hardness of the products formed by HFQ are measured to confirm the degradation in mechanical properties compared with the conventional forming method, which shows the validity of the application of HFQ to aluminum sheet metal forming.

The design parameter study about the magnetic pulse forming is performed using finite element analysis with MAXWELL. The first case of design parameters is about the initial charging voltage and the capacitance and the second case of design parameters are about the winding turns and the spacing of electromagnetic coil. The 3D finite element model of electromagnetic forming system is created and the magnetic force is calculated. The effects of design parameters on the magnetic forming force are investigated.

Hot Press Forming (HPF), an advanced sheet forming method in which a high strength part can be produced by forming at high temperature and rapid cooling in dies, is one of the most successful forming process in producing components with complex geometric shape, high strength and a minimum of springback. In order to obtain effectively and accurately numerical finite element simulations of the actual HPF process, the flow stress of a boron steel in the austenitic state at elevated temperatures has been investigated with Gleeble system. To evaluate the formability of the thermo- mechanical material characteristics in the HPF process, the FLDo defined at the lowest point in the forming limit diagrams of a boron steel has been investigated. In addition, the simulation results of thermo-mechanical coupled analysis of an automobile one-piece lower-arm part are compared with the experimental ones to confirm the validity of the proposed simulations.

;Recently the sheet forming simulation technology revealed great progress in the sense of practical application in the automotive, electric/electronics and aviation/space industries. The goal of sheet forming simulation is to embedded in the design engineering system which is consisted by the analysis and synthesis modules. This design simulation system predicts the slackness of sheet and estimate the formability, and search the optimum material/forming/structure conditions. This OVER-ALL OPTIMUM DESIGN can be classified as follow; 1. ANALYZING PROCEDURE: Numerical simulation based on nonlinear theories -geometry, material and friction nonlinearities- 2. OPTIMIZATION PROCEDURE: Optimum design based on mathematical programing and AI technologies, those are implemented in CAD/CAM/CAE System - Concurrent Engineering System-. In this paper, four subjects will be discussed; (1) State of arts of computer simulation technologies in Japan. (2)History of sheet forming simulation. (3) Benchmark problems.

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 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 optimal design technique and horizontal split of die insert were investigated for determining appropriate dimensions of components of multi-former die set. Results obtained, using the modules, enable the design and manufacture of a die set for a multi-former to be more efficiently performed.

Graphites is well known to have superior advantages to high-temperature, high-pressured, and strong acid-state gas or liquid because it is very stable and chemical structure. Nowadays the new plant with high performance is developed in field of chemical industries, so the need of graphites is increasing rapidly. In this paper, newly developed graphite products with high density is investigated by the mechanical properties of that. I introduced the graphite material which developed for this experiment by the forming process in order to compare to the commercial graphite sheet from expanded graphite which made by the rolling process. Through measuring density and hardness test also tensile test, I investigated the characteristics of these materials. It is verified that the newly developed graphite products forming method is able to make graphite products which have superior mechanical properties than that of commercial graphite sheet.

A semi-solid forming processing has been developed for manufacturing near net-shape components. The semi-solid forming has two methods. One is thixo-forming with reheating prepared billet, the other is rheo- forming with cooled melt until semi-solid state. In indirect forging processing, this experiment used aluminum rheology materials by electromagnetic stirring system. Rheology material is made by A16061. An experiment has variation factors which are pressure, solid-fraction, stirring current and stirring time. Forged samples are found microstructures and mechanical properties. Forged samples are accomplished heat treatment T6 for high mechanical properties.
