3D-structured (embossed) aluminum sheets have been used in the heat insulation purpose for automative exhaust parts because of increasing their surface areas and stiffness reinforcement imposed in making the embossing pattern. However, there are many restrictions in press forming of the embossed sheet compared with the flat sheet (non-embossed one) because of its difference in the mechanical properties and the geometrical 3-dimensional shape. In this paper we investigated the deformation characteristic of embossed aluminum sheet in the incremental sheet forming process which has frequently used in the design verification and the trial manufacturing of sheet products. The single point incremental forming (SPIF) experiments for the rectangular cone forming using the CNC machine with a chemical wood-machined die and a circular tool shape showed that the formability of the embossed sheet are better than that of the flat sheet in view of the maximum angle of cone forming. This comes from the fact that the embossed sheet between the tool and the elastic die wall is plastically compressed and the flatted area contributes to increase the plastic deformation. Also the tool path along the outward movement from the center showed a better formability than that of the inward movement from the edge. However the surface quality for the tool path along the outward movement evaluated from the surface deflection is inferior than that of the tool path along the inward movement.

In order to evaluate spring-back behavior in automotive sheet forming processes, a panel shape idealized as a double S-rail has been investigated. After spring-back has been predicted for double S-rails using the finite element analysis, results has been compared with experimental measurements for three automotive sheets. To account for hardening behavior such as the Bauschinger and transient effects in addition to anisotropic behavior, the combined isotropic-kinematic hardening law based on the Chaboche type model and a recently developed non-quadratic anisotropic yield function have been utilized, respectively.

최근 그린 친환경, 지구온난화방지와 환경 부하물질저감, 기기 고효율화, 연비향상 등의 관점에서 항공기, 자동차 등 운송기계와 휴대용 전자제품 등 경량화가 요구되는 분야에서 경량합금의 사용이 급증하고 있다. 특히, 경량합금 중 가장 가벼운 마그네슘 합금은 최근 주목을 받고 있는 금속재료이다. 그러나 마그네슘합금은 알루미늄합금과는 달리 상온 성형성 및 접합성이 양호하지 않은 관계로 판재를 이용한 구조부품의 제작을 위해서는 많은 연구가 필요하다. 이러한 관점에서 본 연구는 마그네슘합금 판재의 마찰 교반 점용접을 시도하였다. CNC 밀링머신을 사용하여 프로브의 회전 및 삽입 속도에 변화를 주어 접합 특성을 평가하였고, 각 변수의 영향을 조사하였다. 적외선 열화상기와 로드셀을 사용하여 마찰 교반 점용접 중에 발생하는 교반부 온도와 접합부에 가해지는 수직부가하중의 거동을 측정하였다. 마찰 교반 점용접 후, 시험편의 접합 상태와 접합부 단면 관찰을 통해 접합 상태를 조사하였다. 그리고 인장전단 실험을 실시하여 마찰 교반 점용접된 시혐편의 접합강도를 평가하였고, 파단된 시험편의 파면을 관찰하였다.

Dent resistance is determined by both shape characteristics, i.e., local radius of curvature and sheet thickness, and material properties such as yield strength. This work presents results of a study on the effect of work hardening and bake hardening on dent resistance of aluminum alloy sheet parts by considering the forming condition and baking temperature.

박막으로 표면처리한 다양한 강판이 자동차 차체와 부품, 가전제품 등의 제조를 위해 여러 가지 판재 성형공정에 적용되고 있으나, 제품 개발기간과 비용 감소, 성형과정에서 표면 코팅층의 특성 변화로 인해 성형성 열화와 성형불량을 줄이면서, 제품의 고정밀화, 고품질화를 실현하기 위해서는 코팅층에 대한 기계적 특성과 마찰거동을 명확히 규명하는 것이 반드시 필요하다 현재 나노 마이크로 수준인 코팅층의 기계적 물성치를 측정하기 위해 가장 널리 사용되는 방법은 나노 인덴테이션이다.(중략)

자동차 차체 경량화를 위해 알루미늄 스페이스 프레임 구조가 개발되고 있으나, 관재결합이 필요하기 때문에 기존의 저항 점용접이 적용되기 어렵다. 또한, 멤버와 멤버의 연결부에서는 철강재난 고강도 재료의 사용이 요구되므로 이종재료 접합기술이 필요하다. 알루미늄 및 이종재료 접합방법으로는 볼트체결, 클린칭, SPR 접합, 접착재 등이 있으나, SPR 접합은 기계적인 결합방법의 하나로, 일반 리벳공정과는 달리 별도의 홀이 필요없기 때문에 자동화에 용이하며 작업시간도 빠르다. 리벳의 압입 방식으로 판재의 열변형이 거의 없고 친환경적인 공법으로 사용되고 있으며, 소음이 적고, 용접이 불가능한 이종재료의 결합도 가능하다. 무엇보다 자동차 양산용 장비 적용이 용이하기 때문에 기존의 저항 점용접을 대체하기 편리하다. 따라서, 본 글에서는 알루미늄 차체 부품 접합을 위한 SPR 접합공법에 대한 국내외 기술개발 동향을 분석하고, 한국기계연구원에서의 최근 기술개발 내용을 소개하고자 한다.

Heat-treatable Al-Mg-Si-Cu alloy sheets, which are expected to have a growing demand, were fabricated by Cross rolling to improve their formability. The mechanical properties and texture of the sheets after the final annealing process were investigated by a tensile test, EBSD and XRD analysis. The grain size of the cross-rolled sheets was remarkably decreased compared to conventional rolled sheets, and the R-value of the cross-rolled sheets was notably increased by about one and a half times that of the conventional rolled sheet. Cube{001}<100> and cubic system orientations were strongly developed in conventional rolled sheets. However, randomized textures were formed in the cross-rolled sheets without specific texture. It is thought that much shear deformation was induced during the cross rolling. The results show that the cross rolling method is effective for improving the R-value of aluminum alloys sheets and their grain refinement. As a result, it is considered that cross rolling is effective for improving formability.

In sheet metal fabrication using NCT(numerically controlled turret), the automatic tool selection for the NCT operation is the major problem to be solved first to improve its production performance. However, the punching tool selection has been done by human experts either manually or semi-automatically. In this paper, we have introduced the shape-index-set to handle the shape of sheet metal parts and developed an algorithm through which one can find easily the successive matching curves between two curve lists, one from the punching tool and the other from the boundaries of the sheet metal part. Based on this algorithm, we have also devised the method that can select automatically the tools to punch out the boundaries of sheet metal parts. The result of several computational experiments shows the successful tool selection without any fail.
