Recently, ultra precision and light-weight micro products are needed in various industries. Injection molding products with metal insert material is often satisfied with light-weight and precision simultaneously. The researches on macro-size insert deformation have been performed but, a research on micro-size insert is meager. In this paper, the injection molding product with $300{\mu}m$ thin foil insert is designed and insert injection molding process is performed. Finally, the deformation of thin foil insert is analyzed according to insert feature and gate length.

In this paper, a longitudinal die insert fracture which occurred during cold forging of a high strength ball-stud with a sound die design nearly optimized empirically for relatively low strength material of SCM435 is introduced and the reason is revealed. A comparative study between SCM435 and ESW105 is quantitatively made using a thermoelastic finite element method for die structural analysis coupled with a forging simulator theoretically based on a rigid-plastic finite element method. It has been shown that the longitudinal die insert fracture caused from non-optimized value of shrink fit, emphasizing that the die optimal design is inevitable for cold forging of high strength materials.

The conventional closed-die forging processes had been applied to forging of the spur gears. But this type process requires high pressure. The commercial finite element analysis code ANSYS for the stress and elastic deformation of non-axisymmetric die was adopted in this study. In the non-axisymmetric die such as gear forging, maximum stresses were imposed on the tip of the gear tooth. When the stress exceeds yield strength of insert die, many approaches were attemped to prevent the die failure. Good shaped products are forged successfully. This type process could by used as an advanced technique to replace conventional hobbing process of gear.

There is always die roll in fine blanking parts which is able to have 100% clean shear surface. In this paper the change of die roll size was studied by fine blanking tryout in order to minimize die roll size. Various die inserts with different die chamfer were machined, fine blanking die was manufactured and tested. The die roll sizes of fine blanking samples were measured and the tendency of thickness directional die roll size was comprehended. This result will be used on the design of die chamfer in order to minimize thickness directional die roll size of fine blanking parts

The automated die design program is developed for cold forging of axisymmetric parts which are mainly produced by forward extrusion, backward extrusion, composite extrusion and upsetting. For this study, firstly classification of forged parts and investigation of die construction type usually employed in forging industry are carried out and the most proper type from several kinds of die construction is proposed as a standardized one. Based on the die design rules summarized in the references such as handbooks, technical papers, monthly journals, etc. the automated die design program was made using AutoLISP language available in AutoCAD software of personal computer. This program interactively runs for only input data, for example, forging process, shape of forged parts, type of punch, split of die insert and design of shrinkage rings and then displays details of drawings necessary to make a forging die. When a variety of forging processes and forged parts are tested to examine the validity of this program, it was confirmed to give good results applicable to the forging die design in press shop.

The design of the prestressed cold extrusion die with two stress rings has been performed in this study. The cold extrusion has been simulated by the rigid-plastic FEM. The stress analysis of die has been performed for both after shrink fitting and during extrusion by using the elastic FEM and the Lame's equation. According to the variation of interferences and diameter ratios, the maximum effective stress has been evaluated. As results, interferences and diameters were determined by the minimization of the maximum effective stress of die insert. The comparison of the maximum effective stress between the proposed design and the conventional design has been discussed. It was found that the maximum effective stress in the die insert is considerably affected by the stiffness of the first stress ring.

In this study, elastoplastic finite element analysis with multi-body treatment was used to elucidate the mechanical phenomena occurring from pre-stressing of die-system. A finite element analysis model with detailed conditions is proposed. The effects of die pre-stressing slope on the circumferential components of the pre-stressed die inserts were evaluated. The role of tight fitting between the supporter and die case was also emphasized because it has a significant effect on the undesirable change in the target slope of machined inner surface of the die case around the die insert. The two mechanical problems include the one between die-insert and die case and the other between supporter and die case, and their correlation is minimized to establish the optimum design in the die structural design stage because it cannot be quantitatively controlled owing to various factors affecting the die structural behavior during die pre-stressing.

This paper describes a research work on the die design for the deep drawing ＆ ironing(D.D.I.) of high pressure gas cylinder. D.D.I die set is large-sized die used in horizontal press, which is usually composed of drawing, and ironing die. Design method of D.D.I. die set is very different from those of conventional cold forging die set.. Out diameter of the die set is fixed because of press specification and out diameter of the insert should be as small as possible for saving cost of material. In this study, D.D.I die set has been designed to consider those characteristics and the feasibility of the designed die has been verified by FE-analysis. In addition, the automated system of die design has been developed in AutoCAD R14 by formulating the applied methods to the regular rules.
