열간 자유 단조는 고온으로 가열한 강피에 압력을 가하여 원하는 형상을 빚는 공정이다. 가열로에서 여러 개의 강피를 동시에 가열하며 목표 온도에 도달하면 꺼내어 다음 공정을 진행한다. 이때 가열로에 투입하는 소재의 조합과 후단 공정을 위해 소재를 꺼내는 순서가 가열로의 에너지 효율에 영향을 끼친다. 본 논문에서는 열간 자유 단조의 에너지 효율을 높이기 위한 비용 예측 모형 기반 작업 계획 최적화 방안을 제안한다. 유전 알고리즘을 이용하여 가열로 강피 조합을 최적화하며 각 설비별 작업 할당 규칙에 따라 전체 작업 계획을 수립한다. 시뮬레이션 기반으로 후보 작업 계획을 평가하여 계획을 최적화 하며 이를 위해 각 설비별 공정 소요 시간 및 에너지 사용량 예측 모형을 이용한다. 예측 모형은 공정 데이터를 기반으로 기계 학습 알고리즘을 적용하여 학습한다. 또한 주기적인 재계획을 통해 예측의 불확실성으로 인해 작업의 진행이 계획대로 이루어지지 않는 문제점을 해결하고자 한다.

단조는 강괴를 고온으로 가열하고 원하는 형상으로 만드는 공정이다. 가열로에 강괴를 장입하여 가열하고, 고온의 강괴에 프레스, 절단 공정을 적절히 반복하여 원하는 형상으로 만든다. 형상이 완성된 강괴의 경도 및 강도를 조절하기 위해 열처리 공정을 진행한다. 열처리로에 여러 개의 강괴를 장입하여 가열하기 때문에 에너지 비용이 많이 소모된다. 열처리 공정 비용은 열처리 공정의 종류와 장입되는 강괴들의 특성 및 수량 등에 따라서 결정된다. 열처리로에 장입할 강괴 조합을 최적화함으로써 비용을 최소화시킬 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 비용 예측 모형을 이용하여 열처리로 작업 계획을 최적화하는 방안을 제안한다. 비용 예측 모형은 IoT 인프라를 기반으로 수집한 공정 데이터를 이용하여 학습한다. 다양한 열처리로 작업 계획은 학습한 모형 기반의 시뮬레이션을 통해 평가하여 유전 알고리즘을 기반으로 최적화한다. 최적의 열처리로 작업 계획을 수립함으로써 공정 비용을 최소화하고 에너지 효율을 극대화할 수 있다.

Upsetting is performed in open-die press forging to deform metal in all directions in order to enhance soundness of a product and reduce directionality of properties caused by casting. It is necessary to ensure sufficient forging ratio for subsequent cogging operations and consolidate the void along the centerline. To obtain these benefits, the upper die shape (dome and dished shape) is considered as an upsetting parameter. Thermo-viscoplastic finite element analysis has been carried out so as to understand the influence of upper die shape on the effective strain, hydrostatic stress and temperature in the upset-forged ingots without internal defects. The analysis is focused on the investigation into internal void closure in ingots with pipe holes and circular voids. The computational results have shown that the volume fraction of the void is independent of the circular void size and the closure of internal voids is much more influenced by the effective strain than the hydrostatic stress around the void. It is finally suggested that the height reduction must be over 35% for consolidation of internal voids.

For one decades, mobile devices components were made with plastic material, but environmental problems have recently replaced them with metal materials such as aluminum. Generally, aluminum components are mostly produced through cutting, but this process has limitations such as productivity and chip recycling. For this reason, many researches are conducted to improve productivity by replacing with the forging press process for manufacturing mobile device components. After forging process, the flash is remained and it is necessary to eliminate the flash from the final shape of components. In this paper, one-sided clearance for blanking aluminum material wes selected for parameter affected to the dimensional precision. Because the clearance is the most important parameter in blanking process. Deriving the clearance of blanking process for high dimensional precision, five level of one-sided clearance is selected and CAE is used to analyze the dimensional precision for each case.

Spline is a machine component using transmits rotating energy with grooves on internal of boss and external periphery of shaft. Internal spline is generally produced by machining process. However, to reduce manufacturing cost and save time, plastic deformation process such as backward extrusion is gradually adapted for spline production. In plastic deformation process, forming load, stress on tools and flow flaws should be taken into account to have sound products. For this purpose, kinematically admissible velocity fields for Upper Bound Method in backward extrusion of internal spline has been suggested, then forming load and relative pressure have been calculated. Internal spline forming experiments have been con-ucted under hydraulic press and the calculated forming load well predicts the load of experiment.

Industrialization and modernization of the beginning of the IT industry is growing very fast. Since telecommunications industry was developed rapidly, technologies about miniaturization and high-precision of parts have been actively developed to lead information revolution. generally, the entire shear surface of the product applying fine blanking technology must be very precise. Fine blanking is used to save cost by avoiding post-processing of the product. When using press blanking, it spends a lot of money on the production by using many post-processing. Fine blanking typically used in 0.5~18 mm thick steel plate. Because a lot of post-processing cost can be used to process, except for fine blanking. In order to develop components "CHANCE CONTENTS" in the fine blanking process, the purpose of this study is to minimize the edge of the bridge, secured 95% of the material thickness of the shear surface using the 1.6 mm thickness of the material SPCC. Blanking process by introducing after changing thickness through forging process, due to change in vee-rring force and counter force, the experimental amount of depressions and flatness and the shear surface were analyzed.

Alloy718 is the nickel-base super alloy well used as gas turbine components under severe operating conditions because of its high strength at high temperature and excellent creep resistance. In this study, a coupling bolt for the gas turbine component is manufactured by hot heading process instead of whole machining in order to improve the mechanical properties. Die shape for the hot heading has been designed by general design rule of hot forging and also optimal process condition has been investigated by finite element method. The initial billet temperature and the punch speed have been determined by $1150^{\circ}C$ and 600mm/s on the basis of finite element analysis, respectively. The coupling bolt has been manufactured by 200ton screw press and evaluated by experiment in order to investigate the mechanical properties. As a result of experiment, the mechanical properties such as hardness, tensile strength and creep behavior have been superior to those manufactured by machining.

In order to provide with fundamental data of the wrought Mg alloy for press forging, the effect of annealing temperature on the microstructure, texture development and tensile properties is studied in a commercial AZ31B Mg alloy sheet. Basal texture i.e. $(0001){\pm}5^{\circ}$[21$\bar{3}$0] is developed in a commercial AZ31B Mg sheet, and the texture is not changed considerably by annealing over $400^{\circ}C{\times}30min$, while (10$\bar{3}$0) component with high intensity can be observed due to abnormal grain growth. When the sheet is tensile-deformed with RD, $45^{\circ}$ and TD directions at room temperature, fracture strains are given by 25.8, 21.4 and 11.9% in the order of RD, $45^{\circ}$ and TD directions, respectively. With increasing annealing temperature up to $450^{\circ}C{\times}30min$, little change in mean grain size can be revealed by annealing below $300^{\circ}C{\times}30min$ but an abnormal grain growth, where some grains become significantly coarser than the rest, occurs by annealing above $400^{\circ}C{\times}30min$. The maximum tensile strain of around 25% is obtained by annealing below $300^{\circ}C{\times}30min$, but it is abruptly decreased to 16% by annealing above $400^{\circ}C{\times}30min$ owing to intergranular fracture of abnormal grown grains.
