According to the variation of hydrostatic pressure on the central axis of deformable material, the V-shaped central bursting defect may be created in extrusion or drawing processes. The process factors which affect the generation of defects are semi-angle of die, reduction ratio of cross-sectional area, friction factor, material properties and so on. The combination of these factors can determine the possibility of defect creation and the shape of various round holes which have been created inside already. By the rigid plastic finite element method, this paper describes the observations of change in shape of round holes with process conditions such as semi-angle of die, reduction ratio of cross-sectional area and friction factor at the non-steady state of axisymmetrical extrusion process when the round hole is already existed inside the original billet. Also, the effects of process factors are investigated to prevent the possible defects.

어미현상의 예측을 위하여 사각단면이 링을 환상압연하는 공정을 3차원 강소성 유 한요소법으로 해석하였다. 환상압연공정의 점진적이고 변형영역이 두롤 사이 근처로 국한되 므로 계산시간을 줄이기 위하여 두롤사이를 통과하는 부분만을 해석하였다. 변형도율의 분 포, 압연력, 구동롤의 토오크, 링과 롤 사이의 접촉면에서의 압력분포 및 변형된 링의 단면 모양을 계산하였다. 압연력, 구동롤의 토오크, 특히 변형된 링의 단면모양, 즉 어미현상은 계 산결과와 실험이 잘 일치하였다.

A Combined extrusion operation consists of forward and backward extrusion forming and it is possible to make the process be simple by employing it. But the metal flow pattern induced by the operation is hard to analyze accurately because the flows are non-steady, which have at least two directions dependent upon each other. So engineers in the industrial factories had conducted the two extrusion operations separately. A new process was designed by the industrial expert for forming of an alu-minum preform using the combined extrusion operation. In this study, experiments and finite element analysis was carried out to determine the process parameters. Through the preliminary experiment, it was shown that warm forming condition was more desirable than cold or hot ones. And optimal shape of initial billet could be also determined. From the compatibility test, bonde-lube was chosen as the optimal lubricant and 20$0^{\circ}C$ as the material temperature by the inspection of micro-structure. The operation was simulated by the rigid-plastic finite element method to examine the metal flow. Disap-pearing of dead metal zone was observed as the punch fell down and desirable shape was obtained from the one operation. As a result of this study, 7 operations could be reduced and 225% of material saved.

In this paper, the serrated forming process is analyzed with finite element method. The seal should secure the overlapping portions of ligature, which has teeth for ligature to prevent from slipping each other after clamping. In the simulation, rigid-plastic finite element model has been applied to the serration forming process. Serration or teeth forming characteristics has been analyzed numerically in terms of teeth geometry based on different forming conditions. Analyses are focused to find the influence of different die movements and geometries on the tooth geometry, which is crucial for securing overlapping portions of ligature. Two major process variables are selected, which are the face angle and entry angle of punch, respectively. Extensive investigation has been performed to reveal the influences of different entry and face angles on the geometry of teeth formation in the simulation. Three different face angles of punch have been selected to apply to each simulation of serrated sheet forming process with every case of punch entry angles. Furthermore, tooth geometries predicted from simulation have been applied to the indention process for comparing proper tooth geometries to secure the sealing.

The upset forging stage is the initial work in the forging process. It is used to remove the segregation and cavities of the ingot. Specially in handling large sized ingot, an improper upset forging can cause serious surface tearing. However, there is no detail reference for stable upset forging work. To resolve this difficulty, we studied several factors such as upset forging time, temperature varation of ingot, damage, load and stain rate etc., by using the rigid-plastic finite element approach available in the DEFORM code. Numerical simulation results indicated that: the load value of upset forging works shows severe decreasing trend at a certain point, same as strain rate. Also defects were found to be concentrated around the upper and lower portions of the ingot. With these results, we can estimate a guideline for stable upset forging work.

Forging for spring cup of engine valve was investigated in this study. New method is needed to reduce cost and development lead time required to fix forming process of new product, that eventually can provide die, metal flow and forming loads with high confidence level. FEM could provide required detail information that could reduce trial error in advance before the actual production. By using the rigid-plastic finite element simulation, possibilities of improving former research were explored. Results generated by FEM could foresee expected material deformation in advance and made possible new forming process successfully.

In the paper, we have proposed a new technique to determine the initial billet for the forged products using a function approximation in neural network. A three-layer neural network is used and a back propagation algorithm is employed to train the network. An optimal billet which satisfied the forming limitation, minimum of incomplete filling in the die cavity, load and energy as well as more uniform distribution of effective strain, is determined by applying the ability of function approximation of the neural network. The amount of incomplete filling in the die, load and forming energy as well as effective strain are measured by the rigid-plastic finite element method. This new technique is applied to find the optimal billet size for the axisymmetric rib-web product in hot forging. This would reduce the number of finite element simulation for determining the optimal billet of forging products, further it is usefully adopted to physical modeling for the forging design

In this study, to investigate the effect of process variables such as reduction in area, semi-die angle and the rectangular ratio to the corner filling which influences the dimensional accuracy of the final product in the drawing of the cluadrangle rod from a round bar, it has been simulated by three dimensional rigid-plastic finite element method. In order to reduce the number of simulation artificial neural network has been introduced. Also, through the experimental investigation, the present results have been implemented on the industrial product. In results, the main process variable is the combination of the semi-die angle in case of the irregular shaped drawing process and reduction in area in the event of regular shaped drawing process, respectively.

In the current study, we present a new model for predicting width spread of a slab with a dog-bone shaped cross section during rolling in the roughing train of a hot strip mill. The approach is based on the extremum principle for a rigid plastic material and a three dimensional admissible velocity field. The upper bound theorem is used for calculating the width spread of the slab. The prediction accuracy of the proposed model is examined through comparison with the predictions from 3-D finite element (FE) process simulations.
