초록

본 연구에서는, 핵연료 지지격자 딤플 굴곡부에 성형결함을 줄이고자, 1차 스탬핑 금형이 추가된 2-step 스탬핑모델을 제시한다. 우선 순수굽힘 변형률과의 비교로, 딤플 굴곡부 변형률의 특성을 조사한다. 이어 2 차원 1-step 기준 스탬핑 유한요소모델을 정하고 이에 상응하는 최대변형률을 구한다. 1 차 스탬핑 금형의 설계변수들을 각각 변화시켜 변형률에 대한 목적함수를 구하고, 반응표면법을 이용해 1차 스탬핑 금형의 최적 변수값을 선정한다. 다음으로 이를 3차원 모델에 적용해 2-step 스탬핑 모델의 향상된 성형성을 확인한다.

In this study, a 2-step stamping model with an additional 1st stamping tool is proposed to reduce stamping flaws in the curved parts of a dimple in a nuclear fuel spacer grid. First, the strains of curved part of dimple are characterized via a comparison with strain solutions in pure bending. A reference 2D finite element (FE) model of 1-step stamping is then established, and the corresponding maximum strain is obtained. By varying the values of design variables of the 1st stamping tool in the 2-step stamping model, FE solutions are obtained to express the strain as a function of process variables, which provides the optimum values of process variables. Finally, applying these optimum values to a 3D FE model, we demonstrate the enhanced formability of the proposed 2-step stamping model.
