In this research, to obtain the optimal die width of CV die(conventional die), which replaces FM die in free forging of large scale rotor using the flat die, the model material experiments and theoretical analysis using three dimensional FEM are performed. The FM die, which was designed to remove Mannesmann's effect at the central part of the ingot, has very bad workabiltity in real field, therefore on the empirical base they use the CV die of wide width in actual working field. In this study, the excellency of CV die is proved quantitively, and the optimal die width of CV die is determined through the model material experiments and theoretical analysis using FEM in the point of effective strain, stresses, and load.

The purpose of the open die press forging is to maximize the internal deformation for better structural homogeneity and center-line consolidation in case of the ingot. A two and three dimensional viscoplastic finite element analysis is carried out for the plate, cylinder and square forging with the flat die in order to study the forging effects during the process. Effect of width, height reduction, and die staggering are studied through simulation of the process. Thus favorable working conditions are suggested for better and more disirable product quality.

Extensive width reduction of slabs is an important technology for achieving continuous production between the steelmaking and hot rolling processes. However, the vertical horizontal rolling process has many disadvantages, e.g., large width deviations and less efficient width reduction. This study was carried out to investigate the deformation of slab by sizing press with two steps die. To do it, dog-bone and camber are discussed in width sizing process considering the deformation behavior according to the deviation of anvil velocity and the deviation of initial slab temperature. In this paper, the various causes of the sizing press phenomena are mentioned for the purpose of understanding of rolling conditions. As a result, the optimal anvil shape having a minimum-forming load is obtained by FE-simulation and ANN.

This paper presents rough cutting pat고 drilling. This method has differences from conventional method which uses boundary curve by intersecting object to machine and each cutting plane. Die-cavity shape is drilled in z-map, we select various tool and remove much material in the short time. as a result, this method raise productivity. The major challenges in die-cavity pocketing include : 1)finding an inscribed circle for removing material of unmachined regions, 2) selecting optimal tool and efficiently arranging tool, 3) generating offset surface of shape, 4) determining machined width according to the selected tool, 5) detecting and removing unmachined regions, and 6) linking PJE(path-joining element). Conventional machining method calling contour-map is compared with drilling method using Z-map, for finding efficiency in the view of productivity.

In this study, a design of experiment, Taguchi method, was applied to optimize gating system design of escalator step die casting parts. Six shape factors which affect filling sequence of melt are adopted and divided into two levels respectively. Initial feeding differences of melt which were calculated by using S/N(signal-to-noise) ratio in each condition were demonstrated with the simulation of Flow-3D software program. Variations of S/N ratio according to shape factors were obtained and the optimal condition of gating system could also be obtained. It could be found that width of gate, contact angle of gate, thickness of runner are more effective factors on the filling sequence of melt than the others in this case of escalator step die casting parts. It showed that the economical gating system and sound filling sequence of melt were obtained by using Taguchi method.

In closed-die hot forging, a billet is formed in dies such that the flow of metal from the die cavity is restricted. Some parts can be forged in a single set of dies, whilst others, due to shape complexity and material flow limitations, must be shaped in multi sets of dies. The purpose of a performing operation is to distribute the volume of the parts such that material flow in the finisher dies will be sound. This study focused on the design of preforms, flash thickness and land width by theoretical calculation and finite element analysis, to manufacture the super hot forging product, 70MC type piston crown used in marine engine. The optimal design of preforms by the finite element analysis and the design experiment achieves adequate metal distribution without any defects and guarantees the minimum forming load and fully filling of the cavity of the die for producing the large piston crown. The maximum loads obtained by finite element analysis are compared with the results of experiments. The loads of the analysis have good agreements with those of the experiment. Results obtained using DEFORM-2D enable the designer and manufacturer of super hot forging dies to be more efficient in this field.

In the automobile development, press tool design and manufacturing are very difficult and need high cost experienced workers. Therefore, we concerned ourselves in the cost down and easy manufacturing. In this research, we have developed a tool for LH/RH of the front fender, which had difficulty in forming. We have carried out the drawing analysis by Pam-stamp and CATIA modeling. Finally, we get the optimal design parameter. As a result of try out, we found out the optimal width and margin at the center line for tool design. Also, in order to get good results we have to intaglio margin in the part of the wheel house and utilize double bead on every side except corner.

Generally, the vertical roll process is used to achieve extensive width reduction in hot strip mill. However, it is difficult to avoid the defects such as dog-bone and seam-defect. The sizing press has been developed in response to the defects mentioned above. Especially, this study is carried out to investigate the deformation of slab by two-step sizing press. The deformation behavior in the width sizing process is more favorable than that in conventional vertical rolling edger. The objective of this study is to determine the optimal anvil shape parameters in the sizing press with two-step die from the viewpoint of edge-seam length. In general, the edge-seam defect occurs parallel to the rolling direction at both edges in horizontal rolling process after sizing press. The optimal combination of the parameters is determined by FE-simulation and Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The slab deformation in sizing press with convex anvil is analyzed by FE-simulation. The most suitable profile of the anvil is also discussed fur the improvement of trimming loss because of the side seam defect by FE-simulation and ANN.

Die steel for plastic molding were used as mold material of automobile parts and electronic component industry. The material of this paper has superior to mechanical properties, such as repair weldability, corrosion resistance and high temperature strength, required mold parts for semitransparent. Laser-induced surface hardening technology is widely adopted to improver fatigue life and wear resistance via localized hardening at the surface of mold parts. The objective of this research work is to investigate on the characteristics of surface hardening of the laser process parameters, such as beam travel speed, laser power and defocsued spot position, for the case of die steel for plastic molding. Lens for surface hardening of large area is plano-convex type with elliptical profile to maintain uniform laser irradiation. According to the experimental results, large size of hardened layer at the surface of die steel for plastic molding was achieved, and microstructure of this layer was lath martensite. Optimal surface status and mechanical property of hardened layer could be obtained at 1095Watt, $0.25{\sim}0.3m/min$, 0mm (focal length: 232mm) for laser power, beam travel speed, and focal position. Where, heat input was $0.793{\times}10^{3}J/cm^2$, and width of hardened layer was 27.58mm.
