An accumulator placed on the refrigerant cycle pipe lines is a part to relax fluctuations of pressure within the pipe lines and stabilize refrigerants flowed into pipe. The accumulator has been mainly manufactured by the process of tube spinning using CNC(Computer Numerical Control) lathe. However, this process has the defects which are low productivity per hour and high cost. For that reason, tube end-forming using roll die is actively being developed, recently. The purpose of this study is to develope the tube end-forming process using roll die in order to manufacture the accumulator for the refrigeration pipe lines. First, the process design of tube end-forming was performed based on specification of product, and then was verified with FE analysis. Also, the effects of friction coefficient and revolution speed of roll die on forming load were investigated. The analytical results were applied in the final process design of tube end-forming. Finally, tube end-forming test was carried out to verify the validity of the FE analysis and the process design.

Stamping process and rubber pad forming process were performed to manufacture the bipolar plate for fuel cells. For that, a vacuum die casting process and a semi-solid forming process wherein liquid-state materials were used were adopted. After preparing the blank with the stainless steel thin plate having a thickness of 0.1 mm, the bipolar plate channel was formed with the stamping process and rubber pad forming process. The depth of the bipolar plate channel prepared by the stamping method was 0.45 mm and the depth of the bipolar plate channel prepared by the rubber pad forming process was 0.41 mm. Meanwhile, with the vacuum die casting and semi solid forming, the bipolar plate having a channel depth of 0.3 mm, same as the size of the die, could be formed.

The conventional and new forming processes of a steel shell body are analyzed by the rigid-plastic finite element method. The conventional process contains five forming stages such as bending, drawing, ironing, heading and sizing, which was designed by a forming equipment expert. The results of simulation of the conventional forming process are summarized in terms of deformation patterns and load-stroke relationships for each forming operation. Based on the simulation results of the current five-stage, the shell body forming Process including backward extrusion is designed for improving the conventional process sequence. Forming loads of the proposed process are within the limit value, which is proposed by experts and the proposed process is found to be proper for manufacturing steel shell body.

A new concept of multi-point dieless elasto-forming method has been developed to make various shape of curved surface without conventional dies. The developed dieless elasto-forming system consists of discrete punches controlled by servo motors and various kinds of elastomers(rubber and foam). To predict optimal position of punch elements, DTF(deformation transfer function) was introduced, and FEM analysis was carried out. The optimal arrangement of elastomer was selected considering characteristics of each elastomer, and a desired concave shape was formed. The experimental results were consistent with the numerical ones.

The forming load and the stress applied to dies during cold forming of automotive part using microalloyed forging steel are examined with finite element analysis. The forming load and the stress applied to dies at each process step are investigated for two types of forming process. The changes in forming process significantly affect the variation of firming load and the stress at each process step, thus it is considered that the die lift will be remarkably changed with the type of forming process, therefore optimal process design is necessary to obtain an increased the die life and to make the die life uniform at each process step.

The superplastic forming/diffusion bonding is widely accepted as an advanced technique for forming complex industrial components. But the superplastic forming process requires much forming time and generates excessive thinning thickness distribution of formed part. Superplastic in materials is only achieved in a narrow range of strain-rate with optimum value unique to each material. In this study, finite element analysis for surperplastic forming/diffusion bonding (SPF/DB) processes of three-sheet and four-sheet sandwich parts. From this study, forming analysis have offered a lot of information for developing the forming process.

Nowadays, a strategy of the self-optimizing machining process is an imperative approach to improve the product quality and increase productivity of manufacturing systems. This paper presents a concept of self-optimizing forming system that allows the forming system automatically to adjust the forming parameters online for guarantee the product quality and avoiding the machine stop. An intelligent monitoring system that has the functions of observation, evaluation and diagnostic is developed to evaluate the pully quality during forming process. Any abnormal variation of forming machining parameters could be detected and adjusted by an intelligent control system aiming to maintain the machining stability and the desired product quality. This approach is being practiced on the pully forming machine for evaluating the efficiency of the proposed strategy.

In this paper Research development about a micro metal forming manufacturing system has been developed. A micro forming system has been achieved in Japan and it's developed micro press is limited to single forming process. To coincide with the purpose to be more practical, research and development is necessary about the press which the multi forming process is possible. We set the development of the equipment including micro deep drawing, micro punching and micro restriking process to the goal. To achieve this goal, we set the application product to a micro thin foil valve which is used in the micro pump module. The compound die set has been designed and manufactured to make two step process. The material of thin foil valve is SUS-304 and its thickness is 50$\mu$m. We can get a good forming results from micro punching experiments in this paper.

In this paper the stress and strain behaivor in near homogeneous isotropic matrix of metal like steel was studied roll forming of thin steel sheet for cylindrical pipe. Analytical results reveals a body which is on the area of square thickness along and perpendicular to the width of thin steel sheet is in the state of plane strain during roll forming. As a result construction of analytical method for calculating deformation load and stably deformed length along the width of strained steel sheet was established. Also loads applied during roll forming were analyzed using two typical thin steel sheet 12.3m thick steel sheet with 42.5kg /mm2 yield strength of pipe and 5.3mm thick steel sheet with 32.5kg/mm2 yield strength of pipe. Through this analysis applicability of the analytical method for deformation load during roll forming of cylindrical thin steel pipe was evaluated with a study of necessary production technology for roll forming and design technology for roll forming machine.
