The predictions of metal flow forging load optimal die angle and preform size are not so easy in turbine blade forging. First of all the quality of final product is influenced by side force which is one of the significant factors. in this study slab method is applied to determine optimal die angle minimizing side force and the position of preform Finally drawing of die design is obtained in optimal die angle with developing tool that is composed of Visual Basic.

A die cast impeller blade has been developed in the effort on cost reduction in marine equipment industry. The purpose of this work is to optimize the die casting process using Taguchi's design of experiment for minimizing the internal defect of the die cast impeller blade. The experiments were preformed using the numerical simulation based on the L18 orthogonal array. As a results, the internal defect size of the die cast impeller blade for optimal design was controlled less than 1mm.

In the effort on cost reduction in marine equipment company, the medium sized impeller blade ($500mm{\times}200mm{\times}20mm$) of an axial flow pan was manufactured by the high pressure die casting, with which was replaced the gravity die casting. High pressure die casting is a practical alternative because of some advantages such as excellent accuracy and smooth cast surface as well as cost reduction if a certain amount of porosity in the parts can be minimized. In order to reduce the porosity in the center of the neck which is thickest region of the impeller blade, the several gate designs were proposed in this work. The flow simulations for each gate design were performed and then the optimal design was determined by considering the air pressure distribution in neck section. Finally, the size of porosity in the neck of the die cast impeller blade for optimal design was less than 1mm, which satisfied the requirement.

In this paper, an experimental study of a hot forging process is carried out using plasticine and the die set manufactured with the aid of rapid prototyping. In order to manufacture the die set, Stereolithography Apparatus(SLA) which is most widely used rapid prototyping system is introduced. Turbine blade forging is performed using palsticine and the SLA prototype die set. Through the experiment, it has been shown that SLA prototype is suitable to the die set for the plasticine workpiece, and the formability and the forming load of turbine blade forging are predicted.

The guillotined cutting process for the pipe was studied in this paper. Until now guillotining mechanism can not be practically applied in the industries because of the deformation of sheared section around cutting area, the coarse sheared surface, and the burs. To find optimum shapes of blade, several types of blade were experimentally studied. The cutting force normal to the axial direction of the pipe was compared with the theoretical result based on the cutting energy. The experimental maximum cutting forces were very good agreement with the theoretical results. It also discussed that the design parameters of guillotining system such as the blade shape and the clearance between the blade and the die made effects to the deformation of the cutting cross section area. The results show that the guillotining method can be applicable to the pipe cutting system by optimizing the blade shape and the clearance between the blade and the die of the guillotined cutting system with respect to the sheared pipe material.

Computer programs have been developed to design the forging dies of turbine and compressor blades. The design of forging dies is based the side force and the filling of die cavity. In this study, slab method has been applied to simulate forging processes numerically. the program composed of Visual Basic also provides the informations of mean stress, total forging load, distribution of temperature, position of neutral line, total volume and volume of flash in the final stage to users. The preform position is predicted by the reverse slab method. The program has been successfully applied to various types of turbine blades.
