Hydroforming is a forming technology in which a steel tube is set in a die and formed to fit a specified shape by applying hydraulic pressure from inside the tube while also applying force in the tube axial direction (axial feed). In present study, the entire design process chain for an automotive cross-member was simulated and developed using hydroforming technology on high-strength steel. The part design stage required a feasibility study. The process was designed using computer-aided design techniques to confirm the actual hydroformability of the part in detail. The possibility of using hydroformable cross-member parts was examined using cross-sectional analyses, which were essential to ensure the formability of the tube material for each forming step, including pre-bending and hydroforming. The die design stage included all the components of a prototyping tool. Press interference was investigated in terms of geometry and thinning.

In case high strength steels are applied for press-formed automotive parts, it is very difficult to secure forming accuracy due to large springback compared to moderate strength steels. In this study, a repetitive step-wise forming analyses based on secant method was proposed as the die design method for mandrel(bending tool) for the 2-axis bending equipments. A bending die with circular mandrel was designed for the DP780 blow motor case of which diameter and thickness are 70.8mm and 2.0mm respectively. Forming tests were performed to verify the validity of established die design and the results were compared with that of conventional HGI(Hot galvanized iron steel) blow motor case. For additional improvement in forming accuracy, an elliptical mandrel was proposed and its validity was verified using forming analyses based on secant method.

자동차 차체를 제작하는 프레스 금형의 가공공정 중 제품의 형태를 완성하는 드로잉 공정 및 불필요한 부분을 절단하는 트리밍 공정은 그 공정의 특성상 금형의 마모가 심하기 때문에 금형의 내마모성을 향상시키기 위한 표면경화처리가 요구되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 프레스 금형에 레이저 표면처리기술을 적용하기 위한 실험을 실시하였다. 드로잉 공정 및 트리밍 공정에 적합한 표면경화처리를 위해 다이오드 레이저를 이용하여 시험편의 평면부 및 모서리부를 열처리하였으며, 각각의 적정 열처리 조건을 도출하였다. 또한 시험편의 재료에 따른 열처리 특성을 비교하기 위해 구상흑연 및 편상흑연 주철을 사용하여 실험을 진행하였다. 실험 결과, 재료에 따른 열처리 특성에 차이가 있다는 것을 확인하였으며, 적정 열처리된 조건에서의 경화부는 모재에 비하여 약 3배 정도의 경도상승을 나타내었다.

In this study of made Unloader is moving linear transfer system for mainly plastic working or forming of small electronic unit and other at press line. This machine for lading and unloading a workpiece has been installed in a press in order to load and unload a workpiece form a press die. Control method be used PLC. it took data of input from each sensor and send signal of output to actuator today we have a lot of problem at work of press line. most of press work be operated by human so they often hurted terreble accident by press machine. Because press working system in automotive factories are now changing over to a transfer press working system this Unloader will give more easily and speedy production and manpower saving less of pruduction cost high perfomance

This study introduces the new concept in the evaluation criteria of the $CO_2$ laser Tailored Blank weldability, The materials used are 0.7mm, 1.5mm thick low carbon automotive galvanized steels. Welding tests were conducted for both similar thickness(0.7mm-0.7mm, 1.5mm-1.5mm) and dissimilar thickness(0.7mm-1.5mm) cases. The criteria developed for optimum welding conditions were based on relationship between results of die press forming test, weld transverse tensile test Erichsen test and weld penetration measurements. Application of the developed criteria(fracture ratio, strength ratio and D/To) in obtaining optimum welding condition revealed that a weld which satisfied any of the criteria did not fracture during actual die press test.

Hot-Press-Forming (HPF), an advanced sheet metal forming method using stamping at a high temperature of about $900^{\circ}C$ and quenching in an internally cooled die set, is one of the most successful forming process in producing crash-resistant parts such as pillars and bumpers with complex shape, ultrahigh strength, and minimum springback. To optimize conditions of a forming quality in HPF process and secure a safe product without any failures, such as fractures and wrinkling, the simulations based on the coupled thermo-mechanical analysis for a hot-press-formed lower control arm are applied with Taguchi's orthogonal array experiment. Three factor variables - the friction coefficient, blank shape, and hole location for burring - are selected to be optimized. The most effective condition of a forming quality for a hot-press-formed lower control arm is suggested. The simulation results are confirmed with experimental ones.

Currently, in the automotive industry, the efforts to reduce the manufacturing cost by changing the manufacturing process are continually performed. In this paper, we proposed a new manufacturing process, the roll bending process of a ring plate of automotive fuel tank instead of conventional press blanking process to reduce material loss and manufacturing cost. Finite element analysis was used to optimize the roll bending process to assure rectangular cross-section of the ring plate. Also, spring-back analysis after the roll bending process was performed and dimension of the bending die considering spring-back was analyzed. Finally, we verified a possibility for realization of the proposed method with prototypes.

New methods for joining sheet of metal are being sought. One of the most promising methods is MPJ (mechanical press joining). It has been used in thin metal work because of its simple process and relative advantages over other methods, as it requires no fasteners such as bolts or rivets, consumes less energy than welding, and produces less ecological problems than adhesive methods. In this study, the joining process and static behavior of single overlap joints has been investigated. During fixed die type joining process for SPCC plates, the optimal applied punching force was found. The maximum tensile-shear strength of the specimen produced at the optimal punching force was 1.75 kN. The FEM analysis result on the tensile-shear specimen showed the maximum von-Mises stress of 373 MPa under the applied load of 1.7 kN, which is very close to the maximum tensile strength of the SPCC sheet(= 382 MPa). This suggests that the FEM analysis is capable of predicting the maximum tensile load of the joint.
