Thickening process in sheet metal forming is being increased to improve the strength as well as to reduce manufacturing process such as welding. This process can make it possible to obtain part locally thicker than that of initial sheet thickness. In this study, design method for manufacturing the component which has double sinks with local thickened wall is proposed. Deep drawing and upsetting processes are applied in order to form double sinks and thicken its walls. Used material is SPHC440 with the thickness of 2.0mm and initial blank size is determined on the basis of the final product. Distance between the center of double sinks and first drawing ratio to avoid fracture are the most significant factors during deep drawing. FE-analysis is implemented in order to determine the appropriate values. Progressive die is designed based on the proposed method and FE-analysis. As a result of experiment, locally thickened component can be manufactured, which has double sinks with the thickness about 3mm at the corner and wall.

In this study, a design of experiment, Taguchi method, was applied to optimize gating system design of escalator step die casting parts. Six shape factors which affect filling sequence of melt are adopted and divided into two levels respectively. Initial feeding differences of melt which were calculated by using S/N(signal-to-noise) ratio in each condition were demonstrated with the simulation of Flow-3D software program. Variations of S/N ratio according to shape factors were obtained and the optimal condition of gating system could also be obtained. It could be found that width of gate, contact angle of gate, thickness of runner are more effective factors on the filling sequence of melt than the others in this case of escalator step die casting parts. It showed that the economical gating system and sound filling sequence of melt were obtained by using Taguchi method.

Residual stress in the forged parts affects the resistance to mechanical failure, dimensional uniformity, and the service life of the parts. In order to elucidate the development of residual stress in open-die forging process, elasto-plastic finite element analysis was implemented to radial forging process. Super duplex stainless steel SAF 2507 was selected as workpiece material and a series of mechanical tests followed by numerical compensation to deformation heating was conducted to obtain necessary flow data. The residual stress distributions were calculated using commercial 3-D FEM code and the effects of process design were evaluated from selected results.

The cold-forging process analysed in this paper deals with the cam bolt of a nonaxisymmetric shape which mainly is used as a part in the steering system of a vehicle for the purpose of adjusting shock absorb. So both strength and endurance are very important for the cam bolt. In this study, cam bolt forging process is composed of four stage processes. For three forging stages, shape of workpiece will be eccentrical. And then bolt head and washer of eccentrical shape is created in last stage. 3D finite element analysis repeatedly has been performed with changing dimension of die to obtain adequate former multi forging process and die shape. Simulation results reviewed have influence on deciding design of die and forging process. As a result, Simulation results have provided a direction to improve the process.

One of the most important aspects in multi-stage shape drawing is the proper design of the intermediate dies especially to provide adequate metal distribution. In the current study, a method for designing the intermediate dies has been developed to manufacture hollow linear motion guide rails by multi-stage shape drawing. The design method is based on the modified virtual die method. The effectiveness of the proposed design method was verified by FE-simulations and experiments using Mn55Cr carbon steel. From the results of the FE-simulations and the experiments, the proposed design method led to a drawn product with a sound shape. The dimensional tolerances of the product were within the allowable specified tolerances.

In order to produce high-quality optical components, aspheric lenses have been widely applied in recent years. An aspheric lens consists of aspheric surfaces instead of spherical ones, which causes difficulty in the design process as well as the manufacturing procedure. Although injection molding is widely used to fabricate optical lenses owing to its high productivity, there remains lots of difficulty to determine appropriate mold design factors and injection molding parameters. In the injection molding fields, computer simulation has been effectively applied to analyze processes based on the shell analysis so far. Considering the geometry of optical lenses, a full-3d simulation based on solid elements has been reported as a reliable approach. The present work covers three-dimensional injection molding simulation and relevant deformation analysis of an injection molded plastic lens based on 3d solid elements. Numerical analyses have been applied to the injection molding processes of three aspheric lenses for an image sensing module of a mobile phone. The reliability of the proposed approach has been verified in comparison with the experimental results.

The drawbead is used to control the material flow into the die and increase the forming quality during the binder wrap process and the stamping process in the sheet metal forming. Drawbead restraining force (DBRF) is controlled by geometrical parameters and influenced by process parameters such as friction coefficient and blank thickness. In order to inspect the effect of process parameters, parameter studies are performed with the variation of parameters using finite element model of drawbead which is utilized reliably for the calculation of the drawbead restraining force. Drawbead analysis is carried out with 2-D plane-strain element and 3-D shell element. After the verification of the accuracy of the drawbead model with 3-D shell element, it is utilized to the prediction and the investigation of the effect of process parameters. The result of parameter studies can be utilized to the die design in the tryout stage.

The cutting force experiment data using on the charge amplifier (5070A) is amplified, and the 3-axis cutting force data are saved as a TDMS file using the Lab-View based program using on NI-PXIe-1062Q. The machining condition 7 was the most similar to the simulation and the experimental results. The material properties of the NAK-80 material and the simulation trends reflected in the reverse design of the tool were derived similarly to the experimental results.

In keeping with the needs of the times for energy and labor saving and simplifying production processes, interests has been growing in warm forging. Moreover, it is interested in increasing the material usage and production amounts. To improve the productivity and material usage, it is studied the process design of warm forging for socket. Until now, socket is manufactured by hot forging in hammer. The percentage of material usage is under $60\%$ in hammer forging. On the other han4 the percentage can be increased over $90\%$ in warm forging. To change the process from hot forging to warm forging, process designs must be performed. In this time, by using the FEM package, DEFORM-3D, we could get the shape of 1st process and minimum sealing pressure. They are very essential design data to decrease the trial and error. Practically, the overlap defect could be detected and eliminated with design modification of rib height and fillet radius. Moreover, forging load and minimum sealing pressure was defined by the 3D FEM analysis.
