To investigate the behavior of plastic deformation in axisymmetric extrusion through square dies, experimental works with the plasticine as a model material are carried out at the room temperature. Some mechanical properties of the model material are determined by compression and ring compression tests. Visioplasticity method using expermental grid distortion in extrusion is introduced to analyze the plastic flow strain rate and strain distribution. In spite of severe deformation during the extrusion through square die the visioplasticity method shows good results for the distribution of effective strain rate and effective strain.

During warm forging, materials are formed in the temperature range of $300^{\circ}C\sim900^{\circ}C$. In this temperature range, the friction between the forging die and the material is very high and has a negative effect on the forming process causing severe die wear and possible defects in the component because of stick-slip. Thus, lubrication characteristics are a very important factor for productivity during warm forging. In this paper, ring compression experiments were conducted to estimate the friction factor between the die and the materials as the main factor in characterizing the lubricant. Also, ring tests using normal graphite power as a lubricant coating system were compared with tests using nano graphite powder. The results confirm that the nano graphite is superior to the normal graphite in view of its lubricating effect. In addition, the friction factor (m) was estimated with respect to the amount of the nano graphite content in the lubricant. With 10 % nano graphite the friction factor had the lowest value as compared to other amounts. It can be concluded that the amount of the nano graphite in the coating system can be optimized to obtain the best lubrication condition between the die and the material using ring test experiments.

Foaming is a step of forming by the ratio of the internal combustion chamber in a state where the in flow of the material is suppressed, if the diameter is small and a high to a crack generated on the molding is not possible. The present study, we studied using as part experiments for forming the circular shape of the forming height of 10 mm without the occurrence of cracks, results preformed primary, the need to set the height of the forming than the height of the product, preformed secondary. It was able to increase the height of the molded product with less than the height of the next step to be carried out compression processing to create a small comer of the desired shape. In addition, it was found that on a great influence on the quality of the final quality on the final molding of the primary preformed, secondary.

Quantitative evaluation of the tribological conditions at the tool-workpiece interface in metal forming is usually accomplished by the ring compression test. This paper describes an experimental investigation into friction factor under warm forming conditions according to the lubricants and the lubricating methods using the ring compression test. Four different lubricants, two water based graphite and two oil based graphite lubricants, and three different lubricating methods were applied in the experiments. Calibration curves with the friction shear factor were obtained using FEM analysis and verified by the experimental results. The influence of lubricant and lubricating methods on friction are discussed. In the ring compression test, the lower friction factor got to spray the oil based lubricant on die and billet in warm forging temperature.

The technology of Semi-Solid Forging(SSF) has been actively developed to fabricate near-net shape products using light and hardly formable materials. Generally, the SSF process is composed of slug heating,forming,compression holding and ejecting step. After forming step in SSF, the slug is comperssed during a certain holding time in order to be completely filled in the die cavity and be accelerated in solidification rate. This paper presents the analysis of temperature,solid fraction and shrinkage at compression holding step for a cylindrical slug,then predicts the solidification time to obtain the final shaped part. Enthalpy-based finite element analysis is performed to solve the heat transfer problem considering phase change in solidification.

Behavior of dynamic/static recrystallization during hot deformation of Cast alloy 718 was investigated. For this purpose, hot compression test and FE-simulation were conducted via Thermecmaster-Z and DEFORM-3D, respectively. The microstructural evolution during hot compression and post heat-treatment was investigated and deformation mechanism were analyzed by stress-strain curve, FE-simulation and microstructure. FE-simulation results show that the temperature difference between top-die and billet has considerable influence on the final shape of compressed specimen. The relation between applied load and processing time was predicted by the FE-simulation.

Hot-forging Process and die design was made for a large-scale compressor wheel of Ti-6Al-4V alloy with 2-D FE analysis. The design integrated the geometry-controlled approach and dynamic materials modelling(DMM). In order to obtain the processing contour map of Ti-6Al-4V alloy based on DMM, compression tests were carried out in the temperature range of 915$^{\circ}C$ to 1015$^{\circ}C$ and the strain range of 10$\^$-3/s$\^$-1/ to 10s$\^$-1/. In the die design of the compressor wheel using the rigid-plastic FE analysis, forging dimensional accuracy, the capacity of the forging machine and defect-free forging were considered as main design factors. The microstructure of hot forged wheel using the designed die showed a typical alpha-beta structure without forging-defects.

The focus of this study is placed on the reduction of springback in the separator plate which is one of main components of the MCFC stack. Firstly, the current design (round punch and die) is accessed using FEM to find out how much it springs back after the forming operation. In this study, the two kinds of modified designs are proposed in order to reduce the amount of springback. With the linear punch in the first modified design the amount of springback rather increased. In the second modified design of die with holes, the amount of springback decreased drastically due to the effect of compression at the die corner.

Uneven clearances in the left and right sides of a press die cause deformation of the punch in precision shearing process. This deformation results from the compression stress and bending moment from shearing force in vertical direction and from the side force in horizontal direction acting to the punch, In this study the behavior of punch deformation is investigated in order to clarify the deformation state of the punch by using strain gauge deformation to shearing force side force bending moment radius of curvature and shear plane of the punch. Also we presented the calculation method of deformation size for the punch.
