In the multi-pass shape drawing process, the appropriate process design is very important to produce sound products. The reduction ratio, die angle, and the intermediate die shape are very important process variable of the multi-pass shape drawing. The aim of this study is the determination of the reduction ratio, die angle, and the intermediate die shape of the 2 pass shape drawing process for producing steering spline shaft. In this study, FE analysis, Taguchi method, and ANN(artificial neural network) were applied to determine the appropriate reduction ratio, die angle, and intermediate die shape. After the determination of the process variables, FE analysis and drawing experiment were performed to evaluate the effectiveness of the determined process variables. The dimensional accuracy of the final drawn spline shaft was evaluated by using 3D surface profiler and 3D laser digitizing system.

Multi-pass shape drawing is used to manufacture long products of arbitrary cross-sectional shapes. This process allows smooth surface finishes and closely controlled dimensions of the cross-sectional shape. Tube shape drawing for hollow type products provides material savings and weight reduction. The intermediate die shapes are very important in multi-pass tube shape drawing. In the current paper, the design method for the intermediate dies in a tube shape drawing process is developed using a die offset for corner filling (DOCF) method. Underfill defects are related to the radial velocity distribution of each divided section in the deformation zone. The developed intermediate die shape design was applied to the two-pass tube shape drawing with fixed mandrel for manufacturing a hollow linear motion (LM) guide rail. The proposed design method led to uniform and steady metal flow at each divided section. FE-simulations and experiments were conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed method in multi-pass tube shape drawing process.

Recently most of researches for deep drawing process using sheet metal have been performed on the formability of axisymmetric shape but there have not been any concrete reports on the formability of non-axisymmetric shape In addition the conventional shape radius of the punch and die has been determined by the trying-and-error using industrial experimence and post processing test and only approximate shape radius of the punch and die has been determined by the trying-and-error using industrial experience and post processing test and only approximate shape radius of the punch and die has been present So in this study the optimal shape radius of the punch and die in deep drawing process with biaxisymmetric blank shape would be proposed. Through the deep drawing experiment it is found that in order to obtain the optimal products especially shape radius of the punch and die in all processes is very important.

GDI fuel rail is component of GDI system which directly fuel with high pressure in the engine combustion chamber. And it is required to high strength and dimensional accuracy. Multi roll-die drawing process consists of the idle roll-die and drawing die in tandem. In the course of drawing with roll-die, deformation takes place between the idle roller pair or pairs. The friction force decreases with the idle roll-die, enabling the reductions to be risen in one step. In this study, the caliber of 4-roll was designed into pass schedule that made the draw force at the exit of the drawing die be equal. In order to compensate for over-filling area, the roll caliber was modified using the result of FE-analysis. The results of FE-analysis and experiment show that the proposed design method can be used to effectively design the multi roll-die process, leading to an accurate shape and correct dimensions of the final within an allowable tolerance of ${\pm}0.08mm$. Furthermore, the productivity was evaluated by comparing with multi roll-die drawing process and conventional multi shape drawing process. The result was confirmed that it has an efficiency of about 2 times than conventional process in terms of time.

In order to obtain the optimal products in deep drawing process elliptical deep drawing tests were carried out with several shape radii of the punch and die. As parameters on testing shape radii of the punch and die were selected, In addition the conventional shape radii have been determined by trial=and-error using industrial experience and post processing test and only approximate shape radii of the punch and die have been presented. The optimal shape radii of the punch and die in elliptical deep drawing process with biaxisymmetric blank shape are proposed. In this study we suggest the appropriate conditions to be applicable to the catual manufacturing processes through the experiment and finite element method.

'There are a lot of process variables, exerted influence on the formability of products, in deep drawing process. Particularly, it is important that the punch and die shape radius of the process variables.

In this study, a process design method for the multi-pass shape drawing is proposed with consideration of the drawing stress. First, the shape drawing load was calculated to evaluate the shape drawing stress, and the intermediate die shape was determined by using an electric field analysis and the average reduction ratio. In order to evaluate whether material yielding occurs at the die exit, the drawing stress was determined by using the calculated shape drawing load. Finally, FE-analysis and shape drawing experiments were conducted to validate the design of the multi-pass shape drawing process. From the results of the FE-analysis and shape drawing experiments, it was possible to produce a sound shape drawn product with the designed process. The dimensional tolerances of the product were within the allowable tolerances.

Multi-pass shape drawing is very important to produce steel profiles in round samples. In the current study, a process design system is developed for a multi-pass shape drawing. In general, the number of passes for a multi-pass shape drawing is 2 to 3 when the reduction ratio, drawing stress, and productivity are considered. Therefore, calculating the drawing stress and designing the intermediated die shapes are very important. In order to calculate the drawing stress, a shape drawing load prediction method is proposed using a general axisymmetric drawing load prediction model. An intermediate die shape design method is proposed using the initial and the final product shapes. Based on this analysis, a process design system is developed for multi-pass shape drawing for steel profiles. The system works with AutoCAD. The system was applied to design a shape drawing of a spline.
