Examination of the die design is carried out for a multi-stage rectangular cup drawing process with the large aspect ratio with the aid of the finite element analysis. The analysis considers the deep drawing process with the ironing process for the thickness control in the cup wall. Simulation is performed to investigate the deformation mechanism in the initial design and the modified design. The analysis clarifies that the irregular cross section and the irregular contact condition produces unfavorable deformation. The analysis results show that the modified design improves the quality of a deep-drawn product with the low possibility of failure. The analysis result also shows good agreement with the experimental one.

A process sequence of multi-operation cold forging for actual application in industry is designed with the rigid-plastic finite element method to form a constant velocity joint housing(CVJ housing). The material flow during the CVJ housing forming is axisymmetric until the final forging process for forming of ball grooves. This study treats the deformation as an axisymmetric case. The main objective of the process sequence design is to obtain preforms which satisfy the design criteria of near-net-shape product requiring less machining after forming. The process sequence design also investigates velocity distributions, effective strain distributions and forging loads, which are useful information in the real process design.

In this paper,we will discuss in the forming process design of the making engine pulleys for automobiles. These pulleys are required to be made by precision deep drawing process because these are to be combined with bearings and engine timing belts. These pulleys are used of cold rolled steel plates starting with the initial blanking size of 115.2mm and the initial thickness of 1.2mm. Our deep drawing process is designed the continuous 5-steps process, that is, 1'st deep drawing, 2'nd reverse redrawing, 3'rd trimming, 4'th drawing-ironing and 5'yh piercing. This process need no in-process annealing.

In this study, a theoretical analysis method was suggested for predicting forming loads of continuous deep drawing and ironing processes (D.D.I. processes) by considering back tension and continuity equation, and FEA for D.D.I. processes was performed. Dimensions of a punch and a mold on the basis of design rules for a CNG storage vessel were applied for the analysis. To verify the suggested theoretical analysis, the results of theoretical analysis were compared with both those of FEA and experiments of previous studies. As the result of analysis, the values and tendencies of the loads predicted by the theoretical analysis were in agreement with those of FEA and the experiments. So, it is considered that the analysis suggested has reliability for predicting the forming loads of the continuous processes(deep drawing+ironing(1)+ironing(2)).

This paper describes a research work on the development of computer-aided design system for deep drawing & ironing of a high pressure vessel. An approach to the system is based on the knowledge-based rules. Knowledge for the system is formulated from plasticity theories, handbook, experimental results and empirical knowledge of field experts. An attempt is made to link programs incorporating a number of expert design rules with the process variables obtained by commercial FEM software, DEFORM and ANSYS, to form a useful package. It is composed of five main modules, which are calculation of product thickness, input, production feasibility check, process planning, and autofrettage process modules and two submodules, which are folding check and process variable verification submodules. Programs for the system have been written in AutoLISP on the AutoCAD 2000 using personal computer. The developed system makes it possible to design and manufacture large high pressure vessel requiring D.D.I. process more efficiently.

Non-passivated electrolytic tinplates withour conventinal chemical treatment self-oxidize in ambient atmosphere to from yellow stain on the outermost surface during the long-term storage. The degree of yellowness of the stain increased linerly with the oxide thickness due to the interfeefence color of the $SnO_2$ Even though the thickness of the oxide layer was very thin, less than 100$\AA$ , it exerts an undesirable influence on the can-making processes, particularly the stripping behavior after ironing. Investigations were carried out on the morphologies of the coating layer, the changes in oxide thickness during successive can-making processes and the averge friction coefficients with the different oxide thinkness. These oxide layers were broken up and distributed within the bulk tin coating during the ironing process. This redistribution of the oxide layer prvented smooth pressing-aside of the tin coating layer, resulting in an increase in the ironing friction coefficient. As the friction was increased, the residual stress along the can wall thinkness(i.e., the hoop stress) was also increased. Due to both the oxibe layer accumulation, which increased the friction coefficient, and the hoop stress, can stripping efficiency without roll-back is reduced.
