In this study, the casting/forging process was applied in manufacturing a low control arm, in order to prove that application of casting/forging process to Al6061 is likely to get the effect of light weight compared with existing steel products and to reduce the cost of materials. Firstly, In order to set up the optimum casting condition of the forging material, Al6061, casting experiments were carried out by controlling pouring temperature of the aluminum for casting, mold temperature, and pouring time. $700^{\circ}C$ pouring temperature, $300^{\circ}C$ mold temperature and 10-second pouring time were taken into account as the optimum casting conditions. With respect to a hot forging test, it is practiced on the basis of a temperature of materials, strain rate, and reduction rate so as to observe each microstructure and examine strain-stress curve simultaneously; examine tensile test and hardness test; eventually set up the optimum hot forging condition. A hot forging test, tensile test, hardness experiment, and microstructure observation were carried out on condition of $70\%$ reduction rate, $500^{\circ}C$ temperature of materials, and 1 strain rate. As a result of those experiments, 330MPa tensile strength, $16.4\%$ elongation, and 122.8Hv hardness were recorded. In oder to get a sound preform which has no unfitting cavity and less flash, two preforms were proposed on the basis of volume rate of the final product; the optimum volume rate of preform for the low control arm was $115\%$. In conclusion, it is confirmed that using the forging material rather than casting materials in casting/forging process is likely to get more superior mechanical properties. Compared with Al6061, performed by means of general forging, moreover, cast/forged Al6061 can not only stimulate productivity by reducing production processes, but cut down the cost of materials by reusing forging scraps.

Powder forged Connecting Rods have become attractive for use in automotive engines. The powder forging process offers beneficial material utilization as well as the minimization of finishing operations over that of conventionally forged rods. In the present work, the sintering behavior of Fe-2Cu-0.6C, optimum preform design and forgeability of various forging variables were investigated. Our data were generated using a newly proposed sub-scale con-rod developed specifically to simulate the powder forging process. We obtain optimum condition of sintering and powder forging process.

The powder forging process offers beneficial material utilization as well as the minimization of finishing operations over that of conventionally forged rods. In the present work, the sintering behavior of Fe-2Cu-0.6C-0.35MnS, optimum preform design and forgeability of various forging conditions were investigated. This data were generated using a newly proposed sub-scaled con-rod specimen developed specifically to simulate the powder forging process. The results of present work, powder perform is so difficult to flow material into die cavity and mass flow has no effect on improving the strength. And, applied force to increase density of the specimen flowed material is greater than that of all repessing mode. On the contrary, the specimen flowed material became increased hardness of inside in contrast with all repressing mode, but the tensile strength were decreased with residual porosity in surface. Due to material flow characteristic of powder preform, the section of lower density in powder preform became also lower density in forged con-rod. So, preform design is very important in manufacturing powder forged connecting rod.

방전 플라즈마 소결법을 이용하여 건전한 강도를 갖는 다공성 육티탄산 칼륨 휘스커 프리폼을 제조하기 위해서, 여러 소결온도 조건하에서 휘스커 프리폼을 제조한 후 기공률과 압축강도 등을 조사하였다. 그 결과, 소결 온도 900∼950${\circ}C$, 유지시간 10분, 압축하중 40 MPa, 승온속도 50${\circ}C$/min, on-off pulse type 12:2의 조건에서 높은 기공률을 갖는 프리폼을 제조할 수 있었다. 이상의 최적조건에서 제조한 프리폼은 기공률이 15∼37% 범위임에도 불구하고 174∼266 MPa의 비교적 높은 압축강도를 나타내었다. 이와 같은 강도의 향상은 휘스커간의 스파크 플라즈마 방전 및 자기 발열작용의 영향에 기인한 것으로 생각된다. 900${\circ}C$ 이하에서 제조한 휘스커 프리폼의 강도 레벨은 80∼100MPa로 900∼950${\circ}C$의 온도조건에서 제조한 프리폼에 비해 2배 이하의 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 1000 ${\circ}C$에서의 압축강도는 523 MPa로 가장 높은 강도값을 나타내었으나, 약 5%의 낮은 기공률을 나타내었다. 이상의 결과로부터, 비교적 강도가 높고 다공성의 티탄산 칼륨 휘스커를 제조하는데 있어 방전 플라즈마 소결법이 효과적인 것으로 생각된다.

The effect of punching density and material composition on the tensile properties and optimum condition of manufacturing of carbon needle punched perform was studies. The interlaminar tensile strength were increased but the intralaminar tensile strength were decreased with increasing punching density. In the case of the performs composed of continuous oxi-PAN fabrics, there was a considerable improvement of the interlaminar and intralaminar tensile strength.

An optimum blank design technology is required for near-net of net-shape cold forming using sheets. Originally, the backward tracing scheme has been developed for preform design in bulk forming, and applied to several forming processes successfully. Its key concept is to trace backward from the final desirable configuration to an intermediate preform of initial blocker. A program for initial blank design in sheet forming which contains the capabilities of forward loading simulation by the finite element method and backward tracing simulation, has been developed and proved the effectiveness by applying to a square cup stamping process. In the blank design of square cup stamping, the backward tracing program can produce an optimum blank configuration which forms a sound net-shape cup product without machining after forming. Another general application appears in the blank design of a cup stamping with protruding flanges, one of typical automobile components. The blank configurations derived by backward tracing simulation have been confirmed by a series of loading simulations. The approach or decision of an initial blank configuration presented in this study will be a milestone in fields of sheet forming process design.
