The temperature difference between die and workpiece has been frequently caused to various surface defects. The distribution and change for the temperature of forged part should be analyzed to prevent the generation of various defects related with the temperature. The surface temperature changes were affected with the interface heat transfer coefficient. Therefore, the coefficient is necessary to predict the temperature changes of die and workpiece. In this study, the experimental and FE analysis were performed to evaluate the coefficient with a function of pressure, temperature, material, and etc. The closed die upsetting was used to measure the coefficient on pressure over the flow stress. AISI1045, A16061, and Cu-OFHC were used to analyze the effect of material. The coefficient was increased with step-up of pressure between die and workpiece. And, A16061 was larger than that of the AISI1045 and Cu-OFHC up to the five times.

The surface temperature changes were affected with the interface heat transfer coefficient. Therefore, the coefficient is necessary to predict the temperature changes of die and workpiece. In this study, the experimental and FE analysis were performed to evaluate the coefficient with a function of pressure, temperature, material, and etc. The sealed die upsetting was used to measure the coefficient on pressure over the flow stress. AISI1045, Al6XXX, and Pure-Cupper were used to analyze effects according to the material. The coefficient was increased with step-up of pressure between die and workpiece.

Conventional method for electrode force application in resistance spot welding(RSW) processes is to use pneumatic cylinder. However, due to its inherent problems in pneumatic power system such as compressibility of air and poor transient response characteristics, new electrode force system with servo control are recently introduced in RSW machine. This machine is called “servogun”. The purpose of this study is to evaluate performance of servogun in case of spot welding of aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloy(A5052) sheets are spot welded using pneumatic gun and servogun. Both results are compared by means of macro cross-section etching test and tensile shear strength test. Numerous previous research have reported nugget with many voids and cracks are not uncommon defects in spot welds with aluminum alloy. The experimental results show similar defects in case of pneumatic gun. In contrast, use of servogun considerably reduced generation of voids and cracks. In case of step-wise increased forging force at the end of welding cycle with servogun, crack-free and void-free nuggets have been observed. The performance of servogun has been also verified by series of tensile shear test. Higher strength values have been achieved with servogun in comparison to that of pneumatic gun.

The temperature difference between die and workpiece has frequently caused various surface defects. The non-homogeneous temperature distribution of forged part should be analyzed to prevent the generation of various defects related with the temperature. The surface temperatures were mainly affected by the coefficient of thermal contact conductance. The precise coefficient is necessary to predict accurately the temperature changes of die and workpiece. The experiment is preformed to measure the temperature distribution of die and workpiece in closed die upsetting. And then, the coefficient is classified into function of pressure and confirmed by the comparison between experiments and FE analyses using the other model. The FE analysis to predict the temperature distribution is performed by commercial software $DEFORM-3D^{TM}$. However, it might be impossible to measure directly the temperature distribution of forged part. Therefore, the comparisons between measured temperature and predicted values are performed with the hardness of Al6061-forged part.

The pipe with a long-neck flange is widely used in power plants, chemical plants, and shipbuilding companies. Now the pipe with a long-neck flange is manufactured by welding a thick flange to a pipe. But this long-neck flange pipe has some defects in the welding region such as unfitting and local thermal fatigue, which weaken the strength around the neck of the flange. Moreover, after welding the flange, the contacting surfaces of the flange have to be machined flat. So, that is uneconomical. Therefore, to solve the above problems of the long-neck flange pipe, a new process, which has no defects around the flange neck, is required. In this study, three forming processes are suggested to get an enhanced long-neck flange. First suggested process consists of conical forming and flange forming. Second and third suggested processes consist of the bulging of a long pipe locally heated by induction coils and the flange forming. The differences between second and third suggestions are the thickness and local heating area of the pipe. That is, the thickness of the initial pipe of third suggestion is larger than that of the final product, and the local heating area is smaller than that of second suggestion. These three suggestions for forming a long-neck flange are simulated by FE analyses with a commercial code DEFORM 2D. Especially, the theoretical result of FE analysis on the first suggestion for forming a long-neck flange is verified by the experiment with aluminum 6063 pipes. From the theoretical and experimental results, it is concluded that three suggested processes are very useful in order to manufacture the pipe with a long-neck flange without any defects.

The brake pipe is important part in automobile. The brake pipe have to prevent crack, fracture and defects for braking in safety. Especially, shape of ends of pipe has influence on ability of brake. Based on the procedure of process design, in this paper, the forming operation is designed by finite element method. Design variable and response value was selected shape of die and damage factor. To improve die that performed FEM and compared results of two types of die.

In the multi-stage former, manufacture of hexagonal fitting nut was generated in a defective products about $70{\~}80\%$. Defective products reduced in a product stiffness and increased a product cost. Defects for manufacturing hexagonal fitting nut caused in a increase of ductile fracture value. So in the study, a preform designed to reduce ductile fracture value and designed preform verified through the finite element simulation. In conclusion, Ductile fracture value reduced if A round dimension of preform reduced and a part of opposition angle contributed in Plenty a volume.

The characteristics of thixoforming process can decrease liquid segregation because of the improvement in fluidity in a globular microstructure state and utilizes flow without an air entrapment. Therefore, in order to obtain the sound parts of metal matrix composites by using thixoforming process which has co-existing solidus-liquidus phase, it is very important to design a die shape property and to obtain the fabrication conditions which affect the unifomity of the solid fraction on unfilling state and various defects throughout the fabricated parts. The die designs and fabrication conditions to obtain the good piston part are proposed for thixoforging process of metal matrix composites. When reheated metal matrix composites billets were transferred to the closed die gate, thixoforging were carried out under the various pressure(60, 80, 100MPa) with controled forging speed. The mechanical properties such as hardness and tensile strength for thixoforged parts have been investigated after T6 heat treatment.

The reheating of the billet in the semi-solid state as quickly and homogeneously as possible is one of the most imposrtant parts. To obtain a fine globular microstructure in cross section of billet, the optimal design of the induction coil for variation of alloys and specimen sizes is necessary. For the thixo-forging process the construction of the reheating data base is very important, because the reheating conditions are different for variation of SSM and billet sizes. So in this study, the optimal coil design of A356 (ALTHIX) and Aι2024 with d×ι=60×90 (mm) to obtain the globular microstructure is theoretically proposed. The suitability of an optimal coil design will be demonstrated by reheating experiments. Finally, the thixoformability of an arbitrarily shaped product is evaluated by its forming variables. The defects and mechanical properties are also investigated.
