The die wear is one of the main factors affecting die accuracy and tool lifetime. It is desired to reduce die wear by developing simulation method to predict wear based on process parameters, and then optimize the process. Therefore, this paper describes disign methodology of preform for minimizing wear of finisher die in multi-stage cold forging processes. The finite element method is combined with the routine of wear prediction and the cold forging processes. The finite element method is combined with the routine of wear prediction and the cold forging process is analyzed. In order to obtain preform to minimize die wear, the FPS algorithm is applied and the optimal preform shape is found from iterative deformation analysis and wear calculation.

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. The aspect ratio and chamfer length are considered as design parameters to achieve adequate metal distribution in the finish forging operation. 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 the preform shape in metal forming process.

본 연구에서는 모델재료를 이용한 모사실험을 통하여 고온의 강을 단조하였을 때의 유동과 변형 그리고 하중을 검토하고, 이어 성형에 관한 연구를 하였다. 모델재료인 플라스티신은 고용의 강을 모사하는데 많이 쓰이는데, 실험을 통하여 플라스티신과 강과의 변형저항식을 비교 검토하였다. 이 실험결과 상사성이 어느정도 일치함을 알았고, 이 상사성 결과를 이용하여 실제와 모델사이의 하중과 응력비를 검출하였다. 이로써 플라스티신을 이용한 단조 압축 실험을 통하여 실제의 하중을 예측하였다. 또한 예비 성형체를 설계하기 위하여 앞서 실험한 결과들을 이용하여 초기의 실린더의 체적과 치수를 결정하고 이에 단계에 따른 성형과정을 통하여 예비 성형체를 만들었는데, 이는 제한된 용량으로 성형하여야 하는 문제를 해결하기 위함이었다. 실험 결과 8단계에 따른 성형과정에 의해 우리가 원하는 대형 단조품을 성형할 수 있음을 알았다.

The die wear is one of the main factors affecting die accuracy and tool lifetime. It is desired to reduce die wear by developing simulation method to predict wear based on process variables, and then optimizing the process. Therefore, this paper describes methodology of preform design for minimizing wear of finisher die in multi-stage cold forging processes. The finite element method is combined with the routine of wear prediction. The cold forging process is analyzed using developed simulation method. In order to obtain preform to minimize die wear, the Flexible Polyhedron Search(FPS) algorithm is used. The optimal preform shape is found from iterative deformation analysis and wear calculation.

A derivative based approach to process optimal design in powder forging is presented. The process model, the formulation for process optimal design, and the schemes for the evaluation of the design sensitivity, and an iterative procedure for the optimization are described in detail. The validity of the schemes for the evaluation of the design sensitivity is examined by performing numerical tests. The capability of the proposed approach to deal with diverse process parameters and objective functions is demonstrated through applications to some selected process design problems.

This research developed a new deep-bore, cup-shape, large forging process by combining die forging and free forging methods. In the proposed process, a preform for cup-shape large forging is produced by die forging, and a product with a deep bore is finally manufactured using an open die forging method, which is generally produced using a backward extrusion process. Finite element analysis results showed a higher effective strain distribution with a smaller forging load using the proposed method compared to the backward extrusion method. The production of a prototype with good internal quality using a small press capacity verified the proposed method.

This paper describes the process design and forming limit of the forged hinge produec with the axial protrusion on the sheet metal. Process design is consisted of preform and forging process. In this case, the forged hinge product can be formed in a single workpiece without assembling another axial part to it. Process design of the forged hinge product is analyzed by the commercial FEM program. It is known that process design with perform process, shown by the FEM simulaion, can bring the forming limit of the forged hinge product to a great expansion.

The sensitivity method has been applied to find perform shape that results in the desired shape after foring. As a 2D example, initial shape of specimen for the cylinder shape without barrelling after forging has been found. The method is then applied to various shapes of 3D free forging and initial shapes of the corresponding specimens after forging have been found successfully The sensitivity method is proven to be an effective and accurate tool for the preform design.
