Deformation analysis of injection molded articles whose geometry is considered as the assembly of thin flat plates has been conducted. For the in-mold analysis, thermo-viscoelastic stress calculation of thermo-rheologically simple amorphous polymer and in-mold deformation calculation considering the in-plane mold constraint have been done. Free volume theory has been used to represent the non-equilibrium density state during the fast cooling. At ejection, instantaneous deformation takes place due to the redistribution of in-mold residual stress. During out-of-mold cooling after ejection, thermoelastic model based on the effective temperature has been adopted for the calculation of out-of-mold deformation. In this study, emphasis is also made on the treatment with regard to lateral constraint types during molding process. Two typical mold geometries are used to test the numerical simulation modeling developed in this study.

Recently, condenser tube which is used for a cooling system of automobiles is mainly manufactured by the conform extrusion but this method is inferior as compared with direct extrusion in productivity per the unit time and in the equipment investment. Therefore, it is essential for the conversion of direct extrusion with porthole die. The direct extrusion with porthole die can produce condenser tube which has the competitive power in costs and qualities compared with the existing conform extrusion. This study is designed to evaluate metal flow, welding pressure, extrusion load tendency of mandrel deflection that is affected by variation of porthole shape in porthole die. Estimation is carried out using finite element method under the non-steady state. Also this study was examined into the cause of mandrel fracture through investigating elastic deformation of mandrel during the extrusion.

In this study the rigid-plastic finite element method is used in order to study the deformation characteristics of solid cylinder upsetting. The effects of friction and aspect ratios on the effective strain distribution, axial stresses at the die-material interface, radial displacements, strain components, grid distortion on the meridional cross-section and gradual changes of outer profile are studied analyzed and compared with the experiments for commercially pure aluminum and .alpha.-brass. The agreement between numerical (or theoretical)and experimental results is shown to be acceptable for the engineering purpose.

The deformation of injection molding is seriously affected by injection molding conditions, such as melt and mold temperature and injection and holding pressure. In these conditions, the mold temperature is controlled by flowing coolant, which can be classified by the Reynolds number in the mold-cooling channel. In this study, the deformation of the automotive side molding according to the variation of the Reynolds number in the coolant was simulated by Moldflow. In the results, as the Reynolds number was increased, the mold cooling was also increased. However, when the Reynolds number exceeded a certain range, the mold cooling was not increased further. In addition to the Moldflow verification, the mold cooling by the coolant was simulated by CFX. The CFX results confirmed that the Reynolds number significantly influenced the mold cooling. The coolant, which has a high Reynolds number value, quickly cooled the mold. However, the coolant, which has a low Reynolds number value, such as 0 points, hardly cooled the mold. In an injection molding experiment, as the Reynolds number was high, the deformation of the moldings was reduced. The declining tendency of the deformation was similar to the Moldflow results.

In this paper, the elastic deformation of cold forging die has been investigated to improve the accuracy of forged parts with FEM analysis and experiments using the strain gages. In the finite element analysis, two types of analysis are used to predict elastic deformation of die. The one is that dies are considered to be elastic body from initial stage to final one, and the other is that the dies are considered to be rigid body during forging simulation and then considered to be elastic body at elastic analysis. Considering the results of analysis and experiments, it is likely that the analytical results are in good agreement with experimental inspections. The method using the elastic assumption of die relatively takes a lot of time to simulate the forming operation. However, It is better that using an elastic die to predict not only the shape of product but also filling of die cavity.

There has been a number of investigations in recent years reporting the results obtained on the structure and properties of metals deformed to severe plastic deformation (SPD). Being deformed to SPD, ultra-fine grains (UFG) are usually formed, and UFG structure exhibits fundamental differences in original physical properties. One method often used to obtain SPD is equal channel angular pressing (ECAP). In order for this technique to be exploited, it is important to understand the deformation behavior during the ECAP processing and relationship to the configuration of die. The finite element method (FEM) has been used to investigate this issue. It has been found that the plastic deformation is sensitive to the channel angle and material properties and is not uniform across the width of the specimen and the pressing load is relative to deformation during the ECAP processing.

In cold forging, the elastic behavior of the die has a direct influence on the accuracy of the forging part. And the die dimension is continuously changed during the loading, unloading, and ejecting stage. In this paper, we evaluated the elastic deflections of cold forging die during loading, unloading, and ejecting stage. Uni-axial strain gauges are used to measure elastic strain of die during each forging stage. Strain gauges are attached on the surface of die. A commercial F.E.M code, DEFORM-2D$\^$TM/ is used to predict elastic strain of die. Two method of F.E.M. analysis are used to compare with measured and calculated elastic strain. One is to regard the die as rigid body over forging cycle. And then, the die sass is analyzed by loading the die with pressure from the forging part. The other is to regard the die as elastic body from forging cycle. The elastic strain of die is calculated and the die is elastically deformed at each strop. The calculated results under the elastic die assumption are well agreed with experimental data using strain gauges.

최근 화석에너지 고갈 및 에너지 수요의 폭발적 팽창을 해결하기 위하여 경량화와 내마모 측면에서 고효율 시스템을 적용한 자동차 및 각종 성형 기기들이 개발되고 있다. 특히 장치의 고성능화라는 요구조건을 충족시키기 위해서는 금속가공산업에서 표면개질의 중요성이 부각되고 있다. 이러한 표면개질에는 일반적으로 표면의 성질을 개선하여 마모(abrasion) 및 국부 압력(local stress) 또는 피로(fatigue), 마식(wear and corrosion)에 견디게 하여 부품의 수명증대와 제품의 소형화에 기여하고 있다. 이러한 표면개질법에는 경질의 물질을 표면에 코팅시켜 재료표면의 특성을 향상시키는 방법과 금속의 표면에 다른 원소를 침투 및 확산시키는 방법으로 나눌 수 있다. 확산방법으로 침탄, 질화, 보로나이징, 크마이징 처리 방법 등이 있다. 상업적으로 가장 많이 사용되는 표면 개질법은 침탄기술로서, 고온에서 짧은 시간내에 물성 향상이 가능하지만, 강의 변태점 이상의 온도에서 진행됨으로서, 변형에 따른 문제가 발생되어 후처리를 필요로 하는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 반면, 질화법은 변태점 이하의 저온에서 철강 표면에 N을 침투시켜 강을 경화시키는 특징을 가진다. 변형이 적고 질소원자가 강내에 침투함으로 인해 내마모성, 내피로성, 내식성 등의 물리적 성질을 향상시키는 점에서 유리하여 각종 정밀 부품 및 자동차 부품, 금형 등에 많이 사용된다. 또한, 경도 향상 및 결정구조의 영향으로 코팅처리시 모재와 코팅 층의 밀착력 향상을 가져오면 이러한 이유로 코팅 층의 하지 층으로써 각광 받고 있다. 본 발표에서는 플라즈마 질화의 이해를 높이기 위해 관련 기술에 대한 전반적인 소개와 향후 플라즈마 질화 기술의 적용이 기대되는 침탄대체 적용 가능 부품, 침류질화 기술, PECVD 공정과의 접목 등 산업적은 응용 측면에서 응용 분야에 대한 소개를 진행하고자 한다.

This study summarizes the numerical analyses of a Ti alloy deformation under a back extrusion process. Amongst metallic parts in a small propulsion motor case, a Ti-6Al-4V alloy is used extensively. However, the Ti alloy shows a great deal of shear band formation which often leads to a fracture due to a narrow working temperature window. Moreover, the shear band tends to develop over an area where a contact occurs between the hot work piece and the die wall, due to localized cooling. Thus, heating the dies is often required to overcome the deformation localization. Therefore, it becomes necessary to investigate the internal temperature and strain rate distribution during forging process of a Ti alloy. Furthermore, a shear band analysis is peformed using a finite difference scheme and a comparison is made between steel and Ti alloy.

The conventional cold-heading process for the production of a bolt-shaped product is composed of some process and two or three blows heading. The strength of a bolt-shaped product produced by multi-blow heading depends on the working conditions of the heading process such as preforming die angle, corner-radius of the necked portion of product, and the reduction in height during pre-forming. Arigid-plastic finite-element program(RDHPSC) has been coded and the program testified by comparison with the results of experimentation. A method of testing the optimum die-conditions in the double-blow heading process by use of RDHPSC analysis is discussed a fundamental structures of CAD/CAPP system for two-blow heading process is discussed.
