The articulated piston that was used to more powerful diesel engine was composed by Al casted skirt part and steel forged crown part. this paper has the target to design the forging process of crown part. The parameters of piston design and forging process design were gotten based on work experience, experimental data, approximately calculated data and finite element analysis. Preform design parameter decided using the Taguchi method. Through this research, could design optimal shape of preform and produce prototype of the articulated piston

In this paper, a new preform design method is proposed to eliminate the excessive flash in metal forging process. After carrying out finite element simulation of the process with an initial billet, backward particle tracing is performed from the outlet of the flash. Then, the region which belongs to the flash is easily found .. The process is analyzed again with the redesigned billet which is removed that region the above mentioned region. The optimal preform shape which minimizes the amount of flash without changing the forgibility can be obtained in several iterations.

In resin transfer molding, the preform similar to product shape is placed into a mold cavity. Rapid flow front without void formation is important for the composites processing. Multi-layered preform of sandwich is selected. Experiments is carried out using redial flow. An analytical modeling is performed and compared with experimental results. Accurate prediction of flow advance in the preform is of use for reducing the time consumption in the process and enhancing product properties of the final part.

An upper bound elemental technique (UBET) program has been developed to predict forging load, die-cavity filling, preform in non-axisymmetric forging. To analyze the process easily, it is suggested that the deformation is divided into two different parts. Those are axisymmetric part in corner, plane-strain part in lateral. The plane-strain and axisymmetric parts are combined by building block method. And the total energy is computed through combination of three deformation parts. A dumbbell-type preform has been obtained from height and volumetric compensations of the billet based on the backward simulation. Experimetns have been carried out with pure plasticine at room temperature. Theoretical predictions are in good agreement with expereimental results.

Differential side bevel gears have been produced by machining process, but recently cold forging process for the bevel gear is under development in domestic industry. This study presents the possibility to form not only bevel gear but also spline gear at the same time using the experiment and numerical analysis. The preform shape is designed to form both bevel gear and spline gear simultaneously by the backward tracing scheme of the rigid-plastic finite element method(FEM). The experimental results confirm that the numerically-designed preform is satisfactory to form both bevel gear and spline gear. It is noted that the backward tracing scheme is helpful in designing preforms.

A UBET program is developed for determining the optimum sizes of preform of a rib-web part in axisymmetric closed-die forging. The program consists of forward and backward tracing processes. In forward process, material flow, degree of die filling, and forging load are predicted. In backward tracing process, the optimum dimensions of initial billet and preform are determined from the final-shape data without flash. The above program is easy to handle input data with and is convenient to visualize the whole process of closed-die forging with. Experiments are carried out with pure plasticine billets at room temperature. The theoretical predictions of the forging load and the flow pattern are in good agreement with the experimental results.

An optimum blank design technology is required for near-net of net-shape cold forming using sheets. Originally, the backward tracing scheme has been developed for preform design in bulk forming, and applied to several forming processes successfully. Its key concept is to trace backward from the final desirable configuration to an intermediate preform of initial blocker. A program for initial blank design in sheet forming which contains the capabilities of forward loading simulation by the finite element method and backward tracing simulation, has been developed and proved the effectiveness by applying to a square cup stamping process. In the blank design of square cup stamping, the backward tracing program can produce an optimum blank configuration which forms a sound net-shape cup product without machining after forming. Another general application appears in the blank design of a cup stamping with protruding flanges, one of typical automobile components. The blank configurations derived by backward tracing simulation have been confirmed by a series of loading simulations. The approach or decision of an initial blank configuration presented in this study will be a milestone in fields of sheet forming process design.

The purpose of this paper is to compare the forging effects according th the shape of preforms of cup shaped powder forging product, and extend the application of powder forging technology to more complicated cup-shaped products like pistons. In order to this, preforms are provided by compacting, sintering, and machining in various shapes, then forged to final shape of products. The workability for sintered aluminium powder material is examined. Density and strain loci of forged products are compared, and the most effective shape of preform is proposed. The preform for a piston of 50mm in diameter is provided and hot forged to final product.

Gas turbine disk components have been used by Ni-base superalloys which have high temperature strength for enduring stress induced by high speed rotation. This study introduced the overview of development strategy of precision forging of turbine disk and closed-die forging process for manufacturing good quality gas turbine disk. To make superior quality turbine disk, it is important to select optimal forging process conditions like preform shape, die shape and forging temperature etc. In this paper, closed-die forging process has been studied through the rigid-plastic finite element simulation. Proposed forging process can be used for the successful manufacturing of small-size gas turbine disk.
