The finite element analysis of metal forming processes often fails because of severe mesh distortion at large deformation. As the concept of meshless methods, only nodal point data are used for modeling and solving. As the main feature of these methods, the domain of the problem is represented by a set of nodes, and a finite element mesh is unnecessary. This computational methods reduces time-consuming model generation and refinement effort. It provides a higher rate of convergence than the conventional finite element methods. The displacement shape functions are constructed by the reproducing kernel approximation that satisfies consistency conditions. In this research, A meshless method approach based on the reproducing kernel particle method (RKPM) is applied with metal forming analysis. Numerical examples are analyzed to verify the performance of meshless method for metal forming analysis.

Liquid formability of bulk amorphous alloys is known to be very poor due to their high viscosity comparing with conventional metallic materials. It is important to have the fabricating technology of bulk amorphous alloys in order to make the components with complicated shape. Liquid formability includes the mold cavity filling ability and the hot tear(crack) resistance during solidification. A mold made of a commercial tool steel for the formability test was designed. Melting was performed by the arc melting furnace with melting capacity of 200 g in an argon atmosphere. Liquid formability and glass forming ability of Cu base and Ni base bulk amorphous alloys were measured and evaluated. Mold filling ability of Ni-Zr-Ti-Si-Sn alloy was better than that of Cu-Ni-Zr-Ti alloy, however the reverse is the hot tear resistance. Bulk amorphous alloy is very susceptible to crack if partial crystallization occurs during solidification. Crack resistance was thought to be closely related with the glass forming ability.

In order to improve the compactness and uniformity in ceramic green body, we have developed dynamic CIP(Cold Isostatic Pressing) as a new forming method in which the CIP and the vibratory pressing were combined. In dynamic CIP, bulk density on alumina compacts was linearly increased with higher │Pmax-Pbias│and maximum pressure of dynamic-CIP was decreased over one-third of that of conventional CIP to obtain the same bulk density.

This research will deal with Innovative manufacturing technology for milli-structure manufacturing technology which is located betweon the traditional manufacturing technology for macro-sized structure and the recently emerging manufacturing technology for micro-scaled structure such as MEMS. There are four fields in this research, which are micro-sheet metal forming technology, micro-bulk forming technology micro-molding technology and micro die making technology. As a project for new-technology in next generation, this research will be carried out through three terms and each term and be composed of three years.

In this research, the processing control of NiCuZn Ferrite has been developed. The relationship between initial permeability and bulk density of NiCuZn Ferrite with processing factors was studied. NiCuZn Ferrite, which calcinated at $700^{\circ}C$ for 3 hours, was ball milled for about 60 hours to make a size of $0.5\mu\textrm{m}$ followed by granulation using spray dryer. The physical properties and the magnetic properties of NiCuZn Ferrite were investigated with the processing factor, such as (i) granule size and forming pressure, and (ii) sintering temperature. The green density of NiCuZn Ferrite was largely depended on the forming pressure rather than its granule size. The green density of NiCuZn Ferrite was increased from $2.484\;g/cm^{3}$ to $3.002\;g/cm^{3}$ with increase in forming pressure. The bulk density of NiCuZn Ferrite was increased from $3.470\;g/cm^{3}$ to $4.754\;g/cm^{3}$ linearly with increase in sintering temperature. The relationship between initial permeability and bulk density of NiCuZn Ferrite was expressed with the empirical equation,$\mu_{i}=a+b_{\rho}+c_{\rho}^2$ at forming pressure and sintering temperature.

Micro-forming is a suited technology to manufacture very small metallic parts(several $mm{\sim}{\mu}m$). Micro-forming of $Zr_{62}Cu_{17}Ni_{13}Al_8$ bulk metallic glass(BMG) as a candidate material for this developing process are feasible at a relatively low stress in the supercooled liquid state without any crystallization during hot deformation. In this study, micro- formability of a representative bulk metallic glass, $Zr_{62}Cu_{17}Ni_{13}Al_8$. was investigated for micro-forging of U-shape pattern. Micro-formability was estimated by comparing $R_f$ values ($=A_f/A_g$), where $A_g$ is cross-sectional area of U groove, and $A_f$ the filled area by material. Micro-forging process was simulated and analyzed by applying finite element method. FEM simulation results showed reasonable agreement with the experimental results when the material properties and simulation conditions such as top die speed, remeshing criteria and boundary conditions were tightly controlled. The micro-formability of $Zr_{62}Cu_{17}Ni_{13}Al_8$ was increased with increasing load and time in the temperature range of the supercooled liquid state. Also, FEM simulation using a commercial software, DEFORM was confirmed to be applicable for the optimization of micro-forming process.

In this study, the glass-forming ability and mechanical properties of newly developed Fe-Mn-Cr-Mo-B-C-P-Si-Al bulk amorphous alloys were investigated, and metalloid elements such as B, C, and P were found to have a strong influence on the properties of the Fe-based amorphous alloys. When the total metalloid content (B, C, and P) is less than 5 %, only the crystal phase is formed, but the addition of more than 10 % metalloid elements enhances the glass forming ability. In particular, the alloys with 10 % metalloid content exhibit the best combination of very high compressive strength (~2.8 GPa) and superior fracture elongation (~30 %) because they consist of crystal/amorphous composite phases.
