In this study, to create circular holes on an inclined conic face, we developed a novel process of vertical piercing on the plane before drawing, instead of applying an expensive cam-piercing method. The pierced holes are deformed during the drawing, and their shapes are affected by the size of the center hole. Using the Abaqus CAE program, the deformation tendency of the holes, according to the diameter of the center hole, was identified, and the diameter for securing the roundness of the side holes were determined through actual experiments. The developed process was successfully applied to mass production of the part, and a cost reduction is expected.

프레스금형(press dies)에 의한 굽힘가공(bending work) 이라는 것은 평평한 블랭크(blank)를 필요로 하는 각도(角度)로 굽히는 것이다. 굽힘가공을 하면 굽혀진부분(flange)과 굽혀지지 않은 부분(web)으로 구분되며, 굽힘라인(bending line) 부분에는 굽혀진 각도(bending angle)와 굽힘반지름(bending radius)이 내측과 외측으로 성형된다. 이때, 내측 굽힘반지름의 크기는 제품의 재질별로 최소치수가 제시 된다. 제시된 최소치수 보다 작게 굽히면 절단면 굽힘부위에 덧살이 발생 하거나 외측 굽힘반지름 부위에는 균열(crack)이 생긴다. 굽힘가공에서의 외측 굽힘반지름은 자연적으로 생긴다. 그래서 외측 굽힘반지름 치수를 굽힘펀치와 다이블록으로 조정하면서 필요한 치수로 굽힐수 없다. 굽힘가공에는 V-굽힘, U-굽힘, Z-굽힘, O-굽힘, P-굽힘, 에지굽힘(edge bending), 트위스트굽힘(twist bending), 크림핑(crimping) 등이 있다.이 중에서 Z-굽힘은 굽힘라인이 2개로써 블랭크의 상면(上面)과 하면(下面)에 설정하여 상향(上向)굽힘이나 하향(下向)굽힘으로 작동되는 금형을 사용한다. Z-굽힘을 크랭크굽힘(crank bending) 이라고도 한다. 이런 구조의 금형으로 Z-굽힘가공을 하면 내측반지름은 표준치수로 굽혀진다. 표준치수라는 것은 굽힘가공에서 굽힐 수 있는 최소 굽힘반지름 치수로서 굽힘펀치의 각(角)반지름(Rp)를 뜻한다. 그런데 산업현장에서는 외측 굽힘반지름 치수를 굽힘펀치와 다이블록으로 굽힐수 없는 미세한 샤프에지(sharp edge) 형상인 매우 작은 치수(R=0.2mm)를 필요로하고 있는 바, 본 논문에서는 외측 굽힘반지름 치수를 0.2mm 이하로 굽힐수 있는 Z-굽힘가공 공법을 개발 하고자 하였다.

Metal additive manufacturing (AM) technologies are classified into two groups according to the consolidation mechanisms and densification degrees of the as-built parts. Densified parts are obtained via a single-step process such as powder bed fusion, directed energy deposition, and sheet lamination AM technologies. Conversely, green bodies are consolidated with the aid of binder phases in multi-step processes such as binder jetting and material extrusion AM. Green-body part shapes are sustained by binder phases, which are removed for the debinding process. Chemical and/or thermal debinding processes are usually devised to enhance debinding kinetics. The pathways to final densification of the green parts are sintering and/or molten metal infiltration. With respect to innovation types, the multi-step metal AM process allows conventional powder metallurgy manufacturing to be innovated continuously. Eliminating cost/time-consuming molds, enlarged 3D design freedom, and wide material selectivity create opportunities for the industrial adoption of multi-step AM technologies. In addition, knowledge of powders and powder metallurgy fuel advances of multi-step AM technologies. In the present study, multi-step AM technologies are briefly introduced from the viewpoint of the entire manufacturing lifecycle.

The horn is a key part of the ultrasonic welder. As the shape, mass and material of a horn have effects on the resonant frequency and the vibration mode in ultrasonic welding, a horn has to be designed and manufactured accurately. In this study, 40kHz band horn was designed and manufactured through the vibration mode and finite element analysis. A result of modal analysis showed that the natural frequency of the horn was 39,794Hz, and the frequency response by a harmonic response analysis was 39,800Hz - close to the intended frequency, 40kHz. In addition, weldability of the developed horn was estimated by welding of two Ni sheets and tensile-shear test of welded samples. It was shown the developed horn could be used in metal sheet welding.

Thickening process in sheet metal forming is being increased to improve the strength as well as to reduce manufacturing process such as welding. This process can make it possible to obtain part locally thicker than that of initial sheet thickness. In this study, design method for manufacturing the component which has double sinks with local thickened wall is proposed. Deep drawing and upsetting processes are applied in order to form double sinks and thicken its walls. Used material is SPHC440 with the thickness of 2.0mm and initial blank size is determined on the basis of the final product. Distance between the center of double sinks and first drawing ratio to avoid fracture are the most significant factors during deep drawing. FE-analysis is implemented in order to determine the appropriate values. Progressive die is designed based on the proposed method and FE-analysis. As a result of experiment, locally thickened component can be manufactured, which has double sinks with the thickness about 3mm at the corner and wall.

During ultrasonic welding, plastic deformation, elastic hysteresis, and friction generate heat at the contact portions of the two materials to be welded, theoretically analyzing and experimentally measuring the temperature at the welded part are very important for identifying the heat affected zone. However, the welding temperature during ultrasonic welding wherein welding is performed in less than a second is a challenge. We investigated the effects of welding conditions such as welding time, welding pressure, and the ultrasonic vibration amplitude of horns on the temperature of welded surface of a Ni sheet of thickness 0.1 mm. We used a horn with a resonance frequency of 40 kHz and an ultrasonic welder. The temperature was measured using a intrared sensor, and its characteristics were investigated. Experimental results showed that increase in welding time and pressure and ultrasonic vibration amplitude of horns generally caused the increase in surface temperature of the weld.

The implicit, finite element analysis program for analyzing the springback in the warm forming process of aluminum alloy sheets was developed. For the description of planar anisotropy in warm forming temperatures, Barlat's yield function is employed, and the power law type constitutive equation is used in terms of working temperatures for the depiction of work hardening in high temperatures. Also, Jetture's 4-node shell elements are introduced for reflecting the mechanical behavior of aluminum alloy sheet and the non-steady heat balance equations are solved for considering heat gain and loss during the forming process. For the springback evaluation, Newton-Raphson iteration method is introduced for overcoming the geometric nonlinearlity problem. In order to verify the validity of the FEM program developed, the stretching bending and springback processes are simulated. Though springback analysis results are slightly bigger than experimental ones, they have the same trend of the decreasing springback as the forming temperature increases.

The MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) process is used in a micro/nano pattern manufacturing method. This method is based on the lithography technology. But the MEMS process has some problems such as complicated process, long processing time and high production costs. Many researchers are doing research in substitute manufacturing method to work out a solution to these problems. In this paper, we apply a dieless incremental forming technology to a substitute method of MEMS process. This dieless forming technology is using in the commercial scale sheet forming such as a prototype of automobile sheet parts. 5-axes CNC (Computerized Numeric Control) method are applied in this system to get a micro-scale dieless forming results. These 5-axes system are composed of precision AC servo motor stages (4-axes) and PZT actuator (1-axis). A PZT actuator is used in a precision actuating axis because it can be operated in the nano scale stroke resolution. This micro dieless incremental forming system has the advantage of minimization in manipulating distance and working space. As equipment and tools become smaller in size, minute inertia force and high natural frequency can be obtained. Therefore, high precision forming performance can be obtained. This allows the factory to quickly provide the customer with goods because the manufacturing system and process are reduced. To construct this micro manufacturing system, many technologies are necessary such as high stiffness frame, high precision actuating part, structural analysis, high precision tools and system control. To achieve the optimal forming quality, the micro dieless forming system is designed and made with high stiffness characteristic.

플로포밍은 무절삭 점진성형공정으로 축 대칭 원형제품의 다품종 소량생산에 있어 스템핑이나 딥드로잉과 같은 박판성형 공정과 비교했을 때 매우 경제적이며 효율적인 공정이다. 본 연구에서는 기존 공정과의 품질비교를 통한 플로포밍 공정의 유용성 검토를 위해 현재 프레스 드로잉 공정으로 생산중인 자동차용 자동변속기 부품을 1-롤러 플로포밍 공정을 이용하여 대체 성형해 보았다. 실험결과 플로포밍 공정은 제조부품의 형상변화에 따른 설비변경 비용과 개발기간이 짧아 효과적인 유연 생산 시스템임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 플로포밍 공정을 프레스 드로잉 공정과 연계하여 성형하면 성형품의 정밀도와 생산성 향상에 매우 효과가 있음을 알 수 있었다.
