This study reveals the thin sheet metal process with multi-forming die that the name is progressive die, as a pilotless type, also high precision production part is made. They require analysis of many kinds of important factors, i.e. theory and practice of metal press working and its phenomena die structure, machining condition for die making, die material, heat treatment of die components, know-how and so on. In this study, we designed and constructed a multi-forming progressive die as a bending and drawing working of multi-stage and performed through the try out for thin sheet metal. Out of the characteristics of this paper that nothing might be ever seen before such as this type of research method on the all of processes of thin and high precision production part.

Design optimization is performed to calculated the draw-bead force for satisfying the design re-quirements. For an analysis tool a rigid-plastic finite element method with modified membrane element is adopted. response surface methodology is utilized for constructing the approximation surface for the optimum searching of draw bead force in sheet metal forming process. the algorithm developed is ap-plied to a design of the draw bead forces in a deep drawing process. The results show that the design of process parameters is applicable in complex metal forming analysis. It is also noted that the present algo-rithm enhances the stable optimum solution with small times of optimization iteration.

Ultrasonic metal welder is consisted of power supply, transducer, booster, and horn. Precise designing is required since each part's shape, length and mass can affect driving frequency and vibration mode. This paper gives a description of an experimental study of the ultrasonic welding of metals. A horn suitable for 40,000Hz was attached to the ultrasonic metal welder in order to weld Cu sheet. The Cu sheet welding was done with different amplitude, pressure and welding time, and its maximum tension was measured. Maximum tension of 177.99N was obtained when the pressure was 2.5bar, amplitude was 80%, and welding time was 0.34sec. Therefore, excessive welding condition negatively influences maximum tension measurement result.

Sheet metal forming is one of the most useful and important method in manufacturing of the autobody panels because of the excellent production rate. The objectives of sheet metal forming processes are getting a desired geometrical shape of products with good quality, low cost and reasonable lead time. In this paper, we examined the validity of finite element method analysis on the automobile FRT-PLR-L/R stamping process by using the lancing engineering method. Lancing is a press operation in which a single-line cut or slit is made on part way across the strip stock, without removing any metal. As a result, it has shown that the proper lancing engineering method could prevent fracturing by improving sheet metal flow.

Springback is a very typical dimensional discrepancy phenomenon, which occurs usually on the final stamping parts after the tool loading is removed. Variation of springback leads to amplified variations and problems during assembly of the stamped components, in turn, resulting in quality issues. The variations in the properties of the incoming material and process parameters are the main causes of springback variation. In this research, a robust design methodology which combines orthogonal array based experimental design and design space reduction skim to reduce the springback variation for advanced high strength steel parts in sheet metal forming is suggested. The concept of design space reduction is adapted in the experimental design setup to improve the quality of the obtained solution. The effectiveness of the proposed procedures is illustrated through a robust design of springback in metal forming process of a cross member of auto body.

The characteristics of sheet metal process are little loss of material during process, the short processing time and the excellent price and strength. It has been widely used in autobody, electronic components, aircraftbody, etc. Lancing is a press operation in which a single-line cut or slit is made on part way across the strip stock, without removing any metal. In this paper, we examined the validity of finite element method analysis on the automobile CTR-PLR -L/R stamping process by using the lancing engineering method. As a result, it has shown that the proper lancing engineering method could prevent fracturing by improving sheet metal flow.

A dieless forming system which consists of hydraulic punch elements and elastomer/fluid pads, was developed for sheet metal forming. 2-D curved surface forming was carried out using open-loop, closed-loop, and repeated forming method. Closed-loop exhibited higher decision than open-loop forming. Repeated forming also showed reduced spring back and possibility of high precision.
