The TR forging is a kind of continuous grain flow forging. The preform of crank shaft for TR forging process was a round bar with a ring groove. In the first stage, the preform was partly heated by induction heating and then forged by vertical and horizontal force in sequence. In this study, the simulation process of induction heating was proposed to evaluate the temperature distribution of preform for TR forging. The equivalent circuit method was adopted to find coil current of the preform with a various dimensions and power levels. With these results, the coupled electromagnetic and transient thermal analysis for induction heating was performed to evaluate the temperature distribution at the preform of crank shaft during induction heating process. This FE analysis technique with equivalent circuit method was verified by comparing the analysis results with the experimental results.

The purpose of this study is to establish the optimal induction heating conditions of various preform types used for TR forging. The finite element model coupled electro-magnetic and transient heat transfer was employed to evaluate the distribution of temperature at the billet. Power control method was applied to control temperature of preform in induction heating because TR forging is not a continuous process. Power schedule that consists of heating and holding stage was suggested. In heating stage, power is inversely proportional to diameter of preform but the time of heating stage is directly proportional to the diameter of preform. But, in holding stage, the required power for thermal equilibrium per unit volume of the billet decreases with an increase in a diameter of billet due to the increase of efficiency.

TR 단조공법은 기존의 프레스에 특수장치를 장착하여 프레스의 수직힘과 수평함을 동시에 갖도록 하여 일체형의 크랭크샤프트를 제작하는 공법으로, 연속입자흐름의 크랭크쓰 로우를 제작할 수 있기 때문에 보다 우수한 특성의 크랭크샤프트를 제작할 수 있다. TR 단 조공법을 이용한 크랭크샤프트의 제작은 하나의 소재로 단조하여 제작하기 때문에 기존과는 다른 작업공법 및 전용장비가 필요하나 국내에서는 이러한 공법이나 설비의 부재로 인해 생 산되지 못한 제품이었다. 본 개발에서는 중형엔진용 크랭크샤프트의 국산화를 실현한 측면 에서 TR 단조공법 및 장치에 대한 소개와 본 단조공법을 적용하여 제작된 크랭크샤프트의 제반 특성평가를 수행하여 균일한 물성 및 연속입자흐름에 따른 피로강도의 향상 여부를 확 인하였다.
