본 연구에서는 전조공정의 수치해석을 수행하였다. 해석을 이용한 공정 인자 설계에 앞서서, 효율적이고 신뢰성 있는 해석을 위한 해석 조건에 대하여 연구를 수행하였다. 치형의 개수와 요소의 수에 대한 해석 결과를 바탕으로 해석의 정도를 보장하고 효율적으로 해석을 수행할 수 있는 조건을 설정하였다. 그리고, 프랭크 각도와 치형의 끝단부 라운드 등의 금형의 형상과 성형 온도가 유효 응력, 유효 변형율, 전조력, 그리고 크랙 발생에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 해석은 DEFORM-3D를 이용하여 수행하였다. 프랭크 각도와 치형의 끝단 부 라운드는 전조력에 영향을 미치는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 성형 온도 조건에 따라서 유효 변형률과 전조력, 그리고 크랙을 예상 할 수 있었다.

Micro-screws can be defined by their outer diameter of generally less than 1 mm. They are manufactured by head forging and thread rolling processes. In this study, the thread rolling process was numerically analyzed for a micro-screw with a diameter and pitch of 0.8 and 0.2 mm, respectively. Through finite element (FE) analysis, the effects of two design parameters (die gap and chamfer height) on the dimensional accuracy were investigated. Three combinations of chamfer heights were chosen first and the corresponding die gap candidates selected by geometric calculation. FE analyses were performed for each combination and their results indicated that the concave chamfer height should be less than 0.3 mm, while a 10 ?m difference in the die gap might cause degeneration in dimensional accuracy. These results conclude that ultra-high accuracy is required in die fabrication and assemblies to ensure dimensional accuracy in micro-screw manufacturing.

The objective of this study is to suggest the form rolling technology to produce high precision worm. Rack dies and roll dies are usually used to roll parts with worm teeth. The form roiling processes of worm shaft used as automotive part using the rack dies of counter flow type and the roll dies are considered and simulated by the commercial finite element code, DEFORM-3D. It is also important to determine the initial blank diameter in form rolling because it affects the quality of thread. The calculation method of the initial blank diameter in form rolling is suggested and it is verified by FE-simulation. The experiments using rack dies and roll dies are performed under the same conditions as those of simulation. The results of simulation and experiment in this study show that the from rolling process of worm shaft using the rack dies is decidedly superior to that using rolling dies from the aspect of the surface roughness and the profile of worm.

The use of aluminum alloy parts in the automotive industry has been increasing recently due to its low weight compared with steel to improve fuel efficiency. Companies in the auto parts' manufacturing sector are expected to meet the government's strict environmental regulations. In this study, manufacturing process of aluminum alloy bolt has been designed from forming to heat treatment. Bolt forming process is composed of cold forging for body and rolling for thread. In this study only cold forging process is considered by employing the finite element method. In the cold forging process, preform shape was designed and damage value was considered for die design. Two steps of forging process has been developed by the simulation and a prototype was manugactured accordingly. As a final process, solution heat treatment and aging process was employed. A final prototype was found to meet the required specifications of tensile strength and dimension.
