The development of a next-generation hydrogen compressor, a key component in the expansion of hydrogen charging infrastructure, is in progress. In order to improve compression efficiency and durability, it is important to optimize the precision forming and shearing processes of the diaphragm, which is the bellows unit cell, as well as the optimization of diaphragm shape itself. In this study, we aim to show that die and process design technology that can synchronize the inner and outer shearing points of the diaphragm for the precision forming of product can be constructed based on a numerical simulation. First, the damage model that can predict the fracture points will be determined using the shear load and shear zone measurements obtained by performing a blanking test of AISI-633 stainless steel. Next, we will explain the overall procedure based on numerical analysis model how to determine the shearing points according to the deformation pattern of urethane die for various shearing die design.

금속의 가공공정에 있어 중요한 인자중의 하나인 재료의 연성은 환경뿐만 아니라 주변압력에 따라 변화한다는 사실이 20세기에 들어 여러 연구자들에 의해 밝혀졌고 1950년대 Birdgman에 의해 최초로 실험적인 방법으로 증면되었다. 재료의 이와같은 현상을 압력유도연성이라 하는데 이는 주변압력이 재료 내부에서의 공동발생 및 그 성장에 관계하기 때문인 것으로 알려졌다. 공동의 합체 및 성장은 연성파괴의 전체조건이 되므로 이를 억제하면 성형성 및 연성이 증가됨을 알 수 있다. 금속의 압력 유도 연성을 이용한 가공방법을 가압금속형형이라 한다. 최근에 가압금속형의 범주는 크게늘고 있 는데 특히, 성형,블랭킹, 분말야금법 등에 널리 이용되고 있다. 정수압의 크기에 다른전단면의 상태 변화 즉, 소성 변형능에 관한 연구는 Fine-Blanking가공이론에 적용, 해석되고 있다.

Piercing or blanking process is widely used to manufacture most of lead frame parts, but it is difficult to analyze the real process by the actual shape through progressive dies. In this paper several stages in progressive punching are modeled by 2D and 3D configurations using $DEFORM^{TM}$ 2D/ 3D code. During the progressive stage some state variables and deformed configurations are analyzed in each model. There are three stages in the process, the deformations at each stage are cumulative. The advantages and disadvantages of these two type modeling are discussed and analyzed. The experiments are performed as a working material copper alloy through manufactured die. Computed results in load by two types are compared to experiments.

This paper presents the fine-shearing experimental investigation using brass sheets. Shearing including blanking, trimming, piercing, etc is one of the most frequently used processes in sheet metal manufacturing. In this study, an individual set of tooling was designed and fabricated to carry out experiment for shearing process. In order to investigate the effect of shearing surface correspond to die clearance, the profile of shearing surface was examined by using microscope. Futhermore, the relationship between shearing force and the profile of shearing surface was considered.

In this work, a method is described to investigate the progressive and compound process in the coining and piercing operation for given conditions and parameters, using the FEM simulation and model experiment. The effect of the die shape on the compound process is established, and the die shape depends on the position of coining die and the width of the part coined. It is found that Progressive process is better than compound process, since material's filling into the die is not completed and the higher stress acts on the edge of the punch according to width being increased.

The hub hole is usually formed with a flanging process followed by a blanking process of a ]tole. Since the hole is made by blanking, the blanked surface is so rough that the formability in the region is rather poor. The emerging task is to identify the formability of the blanked region in the forming simulation and to relate the criterion to the real forming process by experiments. In this paper, hole expansion tests are carried out with respect to various hole conditions to verify the hole condition effect on the hole expansion ratio. The hole of specimens is made by machining or punching. In the case of punching, two different punching clearances are used for making the hole. From the results of test, fracture mechanism of the hole expansion is explained.

Burr generated on plate holder should be removed through additional process, because it has an influence on the function of automotive seat recliner. The process layout to perform simultaneously embossing and half blanking of plate holder has been developed in this study in order to minimize the influence of burr formation. The optimal process condition to satisfy the required dimensional accuracy of plate holder has been determined using Taguchi method and finite element analysis. It has been shown from experimental results that the proposed method is decidedly superior to the previous FCF method from the aspect of sheared surface, roll-over, flatness and burr height.

Fine blanking is a specialized form of blanking where there is no fracture zone when shearing. This is achieved by compressing the whole part and then an upper and lower punch extract the blank. This allows the process to hold very tight tolerances, and perhaps eliminate secondary operations. In the present study, tensile test and numerical simulation has been performed to investigate distribution of deformation and stress of car seat recliner. The commercial ABAQUS/Explicit software was applied for analyzing the stress and strain of the recliner. In analysis, three lock gear has reached the maximum moment on rotational degree of 2.27. This is more than two times than maximum moment of same size recliner, and can be used safely. Therefore, these can use as criterion of actual structural design.
