In roll forming process, a sheet metal is continuously progressively formed into a product with required cross-section and longitudinal shape, such as a circular tube with required diameter, wall-thickness and straightness, by passing through a series of forming rolls in arranged in tandem. In this process, each pair of forming rolls installed in a forming machine play a particular role in making up the required cross-section and longitudinal shape of the product. In recent years, that process is often applied to the bumper rail in the automotive industries. In this study, a optimal SILL SIDE manufacturing technology, model deign and proper roll-pass sequences can be suggested by forming number of roll-pass and bending angle. And also effects of the process parameters on the final shape formed by roll forming defects were evaluated.

Currently, in automobile industry. the efforts to reduce the manufacturing cost by changing the process of manufacturing are continually performed. In this paper, we proposed a new manufacturing process, the roll bending of a ring plate of automotive fuel tank instead of conventional press blanking process to reduce material loss and manufacturing cost. Finite element analysis was used to optimize the roll bending process to assure rectangular cross-section of the ring plate. Also, spring-back analysis after the roll bending was performed and dimension of the bending die considering spring-back was analyzed. Finally, we verified a possibility for realization of the proposed method shape with prototypes.

In order to make a doubly curved sheet metal effectively, a sheet metal forming process has been developed by adopting the flexibility of the incremental forming process and the principle of bending deformation which causes slight deformation to thickness. The developed process is an unconstrained forcing process with no holder. For this study, the experimental equipment is set up with the roll set which consists of two pairs of support rolls and one center roll. In the experiments using aluminum sheets and FEM simulation, it is found that the curvature of the formed sheet metal is determined by controlling the distance between supporting rolls in pairs and the forming depth of the center roll. The FEM simulation of the forming process using the roll set along the one path shows the distributions of the curvatures in two directions along the path, and gives information about the characteristics of the proposed forming process.

본 연구에서는 Roll-to-Roll 스퍼터를 이용한 ITO 성막 공정에서 Ar 이온 빔 처리가 플렉시블 ITO 박막의 전기적, 광학적, 구조적 특성에 미치는 효과를 연구하였다. Roll-to-Roll 스퍼터를 이용하여 ITO 박막을 성막할 때 Linear ion source를 이용하여 Ar 이온을 ITO 박막에 직접 조사할 때 일어나는 ITO 박막의 변화를 분석하였다. Ar 이온 빔에 인가되는 DC 파워 변화에 따른 ITO 박막의 전기적, 광학적 특성 변화를 Hall measurement 및 UV/Visible spectrometry 분석법을 통해 확인하였다. 이온 빔 처리 공정 시 인가되는 파워가 DC 100 W일 때 $5.81{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}-cm$으로 이온 빔 처리를 하지 않은 $1.14{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}-cm$에 보다 낮은 비저항을 나타냄을 확인할 수 있었다. 이온 빔 처리 전/후 ITO 박막의 결정성은 포항 가속기 X-ray scattering법을 이용하여 분석하였으며, 결과를 통해 Ar 이온 빔 처리가 ITO 박막의 표면에서의 국부적인 결정성을 향상을 일으킴을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결정성 향상이 Roll-to-Roll 스퍼터된 ITO 박막의 전기적 특성을 향상과 매우 밀접한 관계가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 이온 빔 처리 전/후 ITO/CPI의 기판 휨에 따른 기계적 안정성을 알아보기 위해 bending frequency 60 Hz, bending radius 15mm로 bending test를 진행을 통하여 이온 빔 처리 전후 ITO 박막의 특성을 비교 확인하였다. 본 실험 결과를 통해 Ar 이온빔 조사에 의해 상온에서 결정형 ITO 박막을 CPI 기판위에 형성 할 수 있었다. 또한 최적화된 ITO 박막을 이용하여 유기 태양전지를 제작하였으며 이를 통해 Ar 이온빔 처리된 결정형 ITO의 유연 태양전지 응용 가능성을 타진하였다.

$360^{\circ}$ bending of Ti-6Al-4V large-diameter seamless tube(62.37 mm $OD {\times} 4.40mm$ wall thickness) has been achieved at room temperature without heating. The bending process comprised two steps : the first step is $360^{\circ}$ bending by an uniquely designed rotary bender allowing spring back, which is subsequently eliminated by the second or finishing step which comprised repeated bending processes by powered three roll bender, In odor to prevent collapse of tube during bending, Cerro $Tru^{TM}$(Trade name of a non-ferrous low melting point alloy)has been employed as a filler metal. The resultant ovality(out of roundness) obtained was 1.28%, as compared with 6~8% without applying Cerro $Tru^{TM}$.

During roll forming a sheet metal is continuously and progressively formed into a product of the required cross-section and longitudinal shape. An example product is a circular tube with a required diameter, wall-thickness and straightness. Roll forming occurs by passing the sheet through a series of forming rolls that are arranged in tandem. Each pair of forming rolls in the roll forming line plays a particular role in obtaining the required cross-section and longitudinal shape in the product. In recent years, that process is often applied to car body parts by automotive industries. In the current study, an optimal model design and proper roll-pass sequences as well as the number of forming rolls and bending angles were used to produce a sill side. The effects of the process parameters on the final shape formed by roll forming defects were evaluated.

Pyramid type three roll bending machines are widely used in roll-bending process to produce singly curved plate. In forming singly curved plate, controlling the vertical displacement of the center roller is most important to acquire the shape required and automation system of the process. In this paper roller bending process is modeled as an elastic-plastic phenomenon and analyzed using beam theory and finite element method. In finite element analysis the workpiece is modeled by using beam elements and plane strain elements respectively. Through the analyses vertical center roller displacement is obtained to get constant curvature distribution along arc length. The relationship between center roller displacement and curvature in steady state as well as residual stress and strain along plate thickness direction are calculated through finite element analysis.

The objective of this paper is to develop a logical procedure to determine the center roller displacement, in the three-roll bending process, which is required in the fabrication of curved rectangular plates with a desired curvature. To this end, the mechanics of the process was analyzed by both analytical and finite element approaches. Comparisons of the results reveal that a simple analytical procedure, based on the beam theory, yields a reasonably accurate relationship between the center roller displacement and residual curvature. With further development and refinement, the proposed in this work has great premise for practical application, particularly automation of the process.

A cable tray is a fixture to support and protect electrical and communication cables. In this study, a roll-forming analysis is conducted to produce an all-in-one cable tray. The number of process stands is calculated using an empirical formula. By applying bending methods to the design of the roll flower pattern, the final process stands and forming angles are determined. The shape and stress variations in the cable tray are modeled and observed by roll forming analysis using LS-DYNA Software. The width of the side rail and the maximum stress on all stands does not exceed the reference values. The forming machine and rolls are manufactured based on the results of the roll forming analysis. In addition, all-in-one cable trays satisfy the National Electrical Manufacturers Association standards when they are manufactured according to this design.
