This paper deals with the springback characteristics of cold rolled sheet steel through the use of the V-bending process and U-bending one. The influence of material properties on the springback of forming processes was investigated. In the V-bending process there was an optimum bend radius for each combination of parameters which produced minimal springback. In the U-bending process the blank holder force can control the degree of springback. A high blank holding force resulted in a uniform strain distribution and reduced the level of springback.

In recent automotive industry, vehicle weight can be reduced by one-step forming of tailored blanks welded with two or more sheets of metal blanks. Tailored blank(TB) welding is a production method for blanks involving welding together materials of different quality, thickness, and coating, and has proved popular in fabrication automotive parts. This paper deals with the forming characteristics of mash seam welded tailored blanks. Using these forming characteristics, the bumper beam was developed using the mash seam welded tailored blank with the different thickness. We performed the forming simulation with respect to strain distribution on blank during the stamping of the bumper rail part. Based on these results, we made some stamping tryouts with selected types of blank designs to investigate the formability of tailored blank with different thickness. During the tryouts, we knew that it was important the BHF(Blank Holding Force). We obtained to reducing 10.5% weight and cost with adapting the bumper beam of automotive component using the tailored blank of mash seam welding.

IN this study when drawing a square cup blank holder pressure necessary for flange wrinkling prevention was experimentally studied. The materials used in the experiment were SPCC and SUS304 and drawing ratio was 1.62∼2.0 Two case for lubrication condition were experimented. One was without lubricant and the other was with lubrication of high viscosity.

In this study, when a square cup is under drawing, blank holder pressure necessary for flange wrinkling prevention was experimentally studied. The materials used in the experiment were SPCC steel and SUS304 and the drawing ratio was 1.62∼2.0. Two cases for lubricantion condition were investigated. One was without lubricant and the other was with lubricant of high viscosity.

The tendency of wrinkling formation on the flange of a deep-drawn rectangular container was investigated experimentally under different process conditions. Such process variables as blank size, sheet thickness, blank-holding force, and depth of drawing are chosen to examine their effects on the flange wrinkles of the products. Number and amplitudes of the wrinkles are measured along the periphery of the flange and compared between each case of process condition.

Rotary shearing using of rotating and locally shear force has been studied. It is possible to be obtained in any case for requested blank diameters. In this paper, different local forming zones, that are clearances between upper roller and vertically taped low roller, were investigated. Required shearing force is calculated by undecided coefficient method for clearances and strokes of upper roller. Rotary shearing is completed undergoing some processes composed of pressing steps and standing steps. The reason for using these processes is to avoid jamming or tearing of blank by means of upper roller during shearing.

The weld line location and the weld line movement in stamping with laser-tailor welded blanks(TWB) were investigated through square cup deep drawing tests. The step blank holder was introduced to form TWB of different thicknesses without wrinkling, and the non-uniform blank holding force(BHF) was enforced to control weld line movement. Test results of the blanks with shifted weld lines showed that the large portion of the thinner area could result in a large weld line movement. Careful selection of the weld line location and the BHF control should be adapted in TWB design to avoid failures and to ensure its formability.

The effect of process parameters on springback of AZ31B magnesium alloy sheet was investigated by performing 2D draw bending test at the elevated temperatures. And also the springback characteristics were studied different blank holding forces between 30 to 250 kgf. Springback was considerably reduced at higher temperatures than $200^{\circ}C$. The blank holding force in the range used, however, had little influence on springback in isothermal tests. For a given temperature, springback decreased with increasing blank holding force in non-isothermal tests.

Cold forging is a special type of forging process in which metal is forced to flow plastically under compressive force into a variety of shapes in room temperature. Gear blank, which is produced by cold forging, is concerned with the production method of transmission gear. Based on the results of simulation of the current four-stage process, the gear blank forging process for improving the conventional process sequence is designed. The rigid plastic finite element analysis for improving the conventional process. The new process consists of three stage operations with one annealing treatment after first operation. Based on the results of simulation of the proposed process, a required equipment could be selected. The new designed process appears to be more economical in producing the gear blank.
