The bending process for the rectangular curved tube can be developed by the hot metal extrusion machine with the multiple punches moving in the different velocity. The bending phenomenon can be controlled by the two variables, the one of them is the difference of velocity at the die exit section by the different velocity of billets through the multi-hole container. The other is the difference by the different hole diameter. The results of the experiment show that the rectangular curved tube can be formed by the extrusion process and that the curvature of the curved product can be controlled by the velocity of punch and the diameter of container hole and that the defects such as the distortion of section and the thickness change of the wall of tube and the folding and wrinkling of thin tube did not happen after the bending processing by the extrusion bending machine.

It was investigated that the "ㄱ" type angle product could be bended with a curvature during extrusion by extru-bending process. The bending process for the "ㄱ" type angle product can be developed by the hot metal extru-bending machine with the two punches moving in the different velocity. Because of non-symmetry of product, it is important to design the ruled surface contour of dies cavity for the welding and bending with two billets. So it is designed that the multi-hole container has two non-symmetric holes and non-symmetric contour of dies entrance. The results of the experiment show that "ㄱ" type angle product can be bended by the extrusion process and that the curvature of the product can be controlled by the velocity of punch and that the defects such as the distortion of section and the thickness change of the product and the folding and wrinkling of the product did not happen after the bending processing by the extrusion bending machine.

An upper bound elemental technique(UBET) has been carried out to predict the forming load, the deformation pattern and the extrude length of the lateral extrusion of a spider for the automotive universal joint. For the upper bound analysis, a kinematically admissible velocity field(KAVF) is proposed. From the proposed velocity field, the upper bound load, the deformation pattern and the average length of the extruded billets are determined by minimizing the total energy consumption rate which is a function of unknown velocities at each element. Experiments are carried out with antimony-lead billets at room temperature using the rectangular shape punch. The theoretical prediction of the forming load, the deformation pattern and the extruded length are good in agreement with the experimental results.

A side-extrusion model, meant for deeper understanding of the material flow in the CONFORM (continuous extrusion forming) of trub shaped aluminum profiles is presented. In order to get the desirded straight shape of the extrudate,every part of its cross-section must exit the die with the same velocity. Problem is assumed by plane strain UBET-model to analyze it in a simplified way. This has been done by studying the side-extrusion through a two -hole die face. The flow is balanced by determining the optimum lengths of the bearing lands, i.e., those lengths which result in equal exit velocities of the extrudates. Furthermore, the material flow, as influenced by the punch velocity, has been investigated.

Forging of trapezoidal spline, serration and square spline with solid cylindrical billets and hollow one has been investigated by means of upper bound method. Kinematically admissible velocity fields for forging of splines have been proposed in this study. The half pitch of splines has been divided into deformation regons. The neutral surface is introduced into forging of splines with flat punch and, for each step, it is assumed as a circle with its radius rn upper bound solutions obtained obtained by proposed kinematically admissible velocity fields are useful to predict the loads for forging of splines.

Forging of spur gears has been investigated by means of upper-bound method. The term forging means forging of spur gears with solid cylindrical billets, hollow billets with flat punch. Kinematically admissbile velocity field for forging of spur gears has been proposed in this study. The 1/2 pitch of spur gear has been divided into seven dieformation regions, wherein, an involute curve has been introduced to represent the shape of die profile. Especially neutral surface has been introduced intor forging of hollow gears from hollow billets. By using the kinematically admissible velocity field, the powder requirements and suitable conditions for forging fo spur gears were successfully calculated with numerical method. According to the analysis , the acceptable number of teeth for forging of spur gears is from 15 to 20.

A simple kinematically admissible velocity field for closed-die forging of clutch teeth is analysed which takes account of the profiled teeth chosen kinematically by approximating these as straight taper teeth. The upper bound load and the deformed configurations are predicted by the velocity field at varying punch movements considering differing frictional factors. Experiments were carried out using a model material of plasticine at room temperature where talcum powder was used as a lubricant. The theoretical predictions of the forging load and the relative pressures are found to be in reasonably good agreement with the experimental results.

Forging of trapezoidal spline, serration and square spline with solid cylindrical billets and hollow one has been investigated by means of upper bound method. Kinematically admissible velocity fields for forging of splines have been proposed in this study. The half pitch of spline has been divided into several deformation regions. The neutral surface is introduced into forging of splines with flat punch and, for each step, it is assumed as a circle with its radius $r_n$. Upper bound solutions obtained by proposed kinematically admissible velocity fields are useful to predict the loads for forging of splines.

This paper describes forging of trochoidal gears, which are being widely used in timing belt pulley, pump pulley etc., as a series of development of the simulator for non-axisymmetric elements. Kinematically admissible velocity fields for forging of trochoidal gear were proposed and the loads were calculated by numerical method. When the simulation was carried out, half pith of gear was divided into 6 deformation regions which have different velicity fields by assumptions and boundary conditions. The neutral surface was introduced into forging of trochoidal gears with flat punch and, for each step, it is assumed as a circle with its radius r$_{n}$. The experimental set-up was installed in 200 ton hydraulic press for forging. The billets, of A1 2218 aluminum alloy, were slightly phosphate-coated. It was shown that thd theoretical solutions, as upper bound, are useful to predict the forging load for forging of trochoidal gears, because thdt give estimates that are substantially higher than experimental loads.s.
