형단조 제품의 예비성형체의 결정이 중요하며, 그 형상은 최종 제품의 설계 조건에 따라서 수 치적으로 결정될 수 있음을 알았다. 축대칭이나 평면 변형과 같은 2차원 해석이 필요한 제품의 경우에는 체계적인 방법으로 예비성형체의 모양을 결정할 수 있으며, 그 결과를 이용하여 일련의 단조 공정이 설계된다. 이러한 수치해석적 설계 방법은 단조에서 CNE의 근간이 되어 설계의 자동화에 직접적으로 기여할 수 있을 것이다. 이 분야에서 앞으로의 연구방향은 기존에 확립되어 있는 수치해석적 설계방법을 보편화하여 현장에서 사용하기 쉽도록 패키지화할 것과, 모형실험 또는 실제 공정을 통한 해석결과 및 설계를 검증할 것 등이다. 또한, 일반 3차원 형단조의 공정 해석도 활발하게 이루어져 복잡한 정밀 단조에 대한 설계 자동화도 연구되어야 할 것이다.

다단 냉간단조 공정에서는 결함이 없는 재료의 유동, 금형내부의 완전한 충만과 금형의 수명향상 등을 위하여 예비성형체의 설계가 중요시되고 있다. 특히 최근 제품의 정밀도에 관심이 집중되어 냉간 상태에서 완제품으로 성형하여 후속 기계가공을 없앰으로써 재료의 절약, 에너지 절감, 가공공정수 단축 등 냉간단조를 고부가가치 가공의 유력한 수단으로 응용하려는 추세이다. 이러한 경우 예비성형체의 형상은 제품의 정밀도와 금형의 수명에 지대한 영향을 미친다.(중략)

This paper presents design methodology to determine the design parameters that affect the manufacture of aluminum forging piston using the FE simulation and the Taguchi method. Maximum forging load is used as the objective function, and preform, material temperature and draft angle are selected as the design parameters. Their combinations are implemented by orthogonal array, and forging load is evaluated through the simulation. From the analytic results of design parameters to minimize the load using signal to noise ratio, their optimal combinations are proposed. The proposed design methodology will be able to help in selecting proper preform among preforms and to be used in determining the optimal combination of the parameters in metal forming process.

An optimization method is proposed for preform and billet shape designs in the forging process by using the Equivalent Static Loads (ESLs). The preform shape is an important factor in the forging process because the quality of the final forging is significantly influenced by it. The ESLSO is used to determine the shape of the preform. In the ESLSO, nonlinear dynamic loads are transformed to the ESLs and linear response optimization is performed using the ESLs. The design is updated in linear response optimization and nonlinear analysis is performed with the updated design. The examples in this paper show that optimization using the ESLs is useful and the design results are satisfactory. Consequently, the optimal preform and billet shapes which produce the desired final shape have been obtained. Nonlinear analysis and linear response optimization of the forging process are performed using the commercial software LS-DYNA and NASTRAN, respectively.

This paper introduces a preform design method for a ring rolling process with an outer step. Underfilling is one of the general defects of the profile ring rolling process. It occurs when the deformation amount is small or step depth of the profiled region is large. To prevent underfilling, increasing the deformation amount or using a preform of size similar to that of the final product are required. Furthermore, the filling limit equation is suggested based on the shape factor and deformation ratio for preventing defects in the products. The filling limit equation has been derived through finite element analyses and production tests for four different cases. For verifying the suggested method, realsized profile rolling tests were performed, and test results were compared with the predictions of the equation.

In this paper, attempts were made to design a preform for a final punch inexpensively using the proposed approximate optimization method or metamodel-based simulation optimization. The design objective of this work is to achieve a uniform distribution of effective strains, the angle dimension of the preformed punch is chosen as a design variable, and maximum underfill ratio is used as a constraint. For this optimization, a computer simulation of a practical punch forging process is run using DEFORM software, in which a preformed punch(workpiece), a master punch(upper die), and a bottom die are dealt with. A validation method is introduced to determine if the simulation results match the actual forging process. In addition, this work presents the detailed design optimization procedure consisting of (i) generation of an initial metamodel, (ii) metamodel optimization, (iii) validation of metamodel-predicted optimum, and (iv) metamodel improvement.

A UBET program is developed for determining flash the optimum sizes of preform and initial billet in plane-strain closed-die forging. The program consists of forward and backward tracing processes. In the forward program, flash, die filling and forging load are predicted. In backward tracing process the optimum dimensions of initial billet and preform are determined from the final-shape data based on flash design. Experiments are carried out with pure plasticine billets ar room temperature. The theoretical predictions of forging load and flow pattern are in good agree-ment with the experimental results.

In this paper, the warm forging process sequence has been determined to manufacture the warm forged product for the precision bevel gear used as the differential gear unit of a commercial automobile. The preform shape of bevel gear influences the dimensional accuracy and stiffness of final product. So, the design parameters related preform shape such as aspect ratio and chamfer length having an influence the formability of forged product are analyzed. Then the optimal conditions of design parameters have been selected by artificial neural network (ANN). Finally, to verify the optimal preform shape, the experiments of the warm forging of the bevel gear have been executed. The proposed method can give more systematic and economically feasible means for designing preform shape in metal forming process.

The main objective of this paper is to propose the optimal design method of forging process using genetic algorithm. Design optimization of forging process was doing about one stage and multi stage. The objective function is considered the filling of die. The chosen design variables are die geometry in multi stage and initial billet shape in one stage. We performed FE analysis to simulated forging process. The optimized preform and initial billet shape was obtained by genetic algorithm and FE analysis. To show the efficiency of GA method in forging problem are solved and compared with published results.
