High-finned tubes have good thermal conductivity and have better cooling efficiency than plain tubes or low-fined tubes due to bigger air contact area. During high-fined tubes are manufactured by roll forming, the main technique is illustrated to optimizing primary material(copper pipe), optimized die matrix designing technique for roll forming, control manufacturing speed to develop productivity etc. In this study, a roll forming system was developed in oder to produce high-finned tube. Also a multi-step roll forming die was designed & built to produce high-finned tube that has over 10 mm fin height. And then, roll forming test using copper pipe was performed to produce high-finned tube. Roll forming process for producing highfinned tube was optimized by analyzing and adjusting misrostructure, hardness, and surface roughness of roll formed high-fined tube.

Electrohydraulic forming(EHF), one of the high-speed forming method, can supplement the weak point of previous forming process such as deep-drawing and electromagnetic forming. Indeed, EHF is time-consuming process during installing wire before experiment that hard to apply to industry. In this research, applying wireless electrode, the formability of SUS430 sheet was compared through EHF experiments using wire-installed electrode and the other, wireless. Although the power was a little lacking, the advantages of the experiment using wireless electrode could be confirmed with checking the optimal location of electrodes where the plasma is generated and comparing free-bulging height depending on former and later condition of electrodes with performing several single and multistage experiments for same voltage, 6 kV.

In this study, bipolar plates in fuel cells are formed using rubber forming process. The effects of important parameters in rubber forming such as hardness and thickness of rubber pad, speed and pressure of punch that compress blank, and physical property of materials on the channel depth were analyzed. In the soft material sheet Al1050, deeper channels are formed than in materials STS304 and Ti-G5. Formed channel depth was increased when hardness of rubber pad was lower, thickness of rubber pad was high, and speed and pressure of punch were high. It was found the deepest channel was achieved when forming process condition was set with punch speed and pressure at 30 mm/s and 55 MPa, respectively using rubber pad having hardness Shore A 20 and thickness 60 mm. The channel depths of bipolar plates formed with Al1050, STS304 and Ti-G5 under the above process condition were 0.453, 0.307, and 0.270 mm, respectively. There were no defects such as wrinkle, distortion, and crack found from formed bipolar plates.

Recently, in the surge of global environmental issues, there has been a great attention to lightweight materials in purpose of saving energy. Magnesium alloys not only have low specific gravity, and superb specific stiffness, but are also excellent in blocking vibrations and electromagnetic waves. So demand for this material is getting bigger rapidly throughout the industry. In this study, we examined the improvement of formability of magnesium alloy AZ31 material in warm working. Drawing, bending and shearing process were carried out by varying the forming temperature and the forming speed, and the influence of the variables on each process was studied. In the experiments, the high forming temperature and low forming speed results in high formability in the drawing process and the bending process. In the shearing process, as the forming temperature increases, the length of the fracture decreases.

Electrohydraulic forming is a high-speed forming process that deforms a blank using electric discharge in liquid. When high voltage is discharged in the water, a shock wave is propagated from the tip of the electrodes to the blank, causing the blank to be deformed into the die. Electrohydraulic forming has many advantages including improved formability and reduced bouncing effect and springback. The objective of this paper was to conduct a feasibility study to identify the electrohydraulic effect. An electrohydraulic forming apparatus was developed and experiments were carried out. The results of the experiment showed that the developed apparatus had sufficient energy to deform the blank into the die. Using the hole to emit residual air in the die was more effective than using the vacuum pump in terms of saving on experiment time.

This study has been focused on the analysis of high speed shear forming process for lead-acid battery grids. The grid plays an important role of electrical charge. It is necessary to ensure the best battery's performance that the grid should have a best quality. The clearance between punch and die, the velocity of punch and the critical damage value are very important parameters for making a good grid form. The finite element analysis of the shear forming process is carried out by measuring and optimizing these three important parameters. The result of this study concludes that these parameters has a great influence on grid quality.

Recently, LCD Backlight Unit is being replaced from cold cathode fluorescent lamp(CCFL) to external electrode fluorescent lamp(EEFL) because the EEFL has high energy efficiency and long life. Also, it can reduce energy consumption and weight. So far, external electrode ring for EEFL is produced by sheet metal press forming process. Therefore it had low precision and much material loss. To solve these problems, Multi-Forming process that has five step forming process was invented. However, low productivity is another barrier. Product speed that is controlled by the rotational speed cannot be increased due to the unsatisfied design specification. The reason is that the gap between rolled two edge parts of the sheet plate is tightly inspected. Regarding this factor, the understanding of forming behavior to each process is inevitable. This paper describes the CAE analysis of the multi-forming process by PAM-STAMP.

In order to investigate the effects of the variables during the stamping process upon the side wall curl behavior, experiments and finite element analyses were done using a 90 degree draw-bending test. The variables considered were the die radius, the forming speed, the restraint force, the lubrication and the sheet grade. The experiments and simulation conditions were selected according to the design of experiment (DOE) approach. The effects of the restraint force, the lubrication and the forming speed were the same for both high strength and mild steels, but the effects of the die radius on the side wall curl were dependent on the magnitude of the die radius and the sheet grade. A straight side wall was observed for both high strength and mild steels when the die radius was about 2∼3 times of the sheet thickness. It was recommended that the restraint force, the forming speed and the friction be increased in order to reduce the side wall curl.

In order to find the effect of lubricant viscosity, sheet surface roughness, tool geometry, and forming speed on the frictional characteristics in sheet metal forming, a sheet metal friction tester was designed and manufactured and friction tests of various sheets were performed. Friction test results showed that as the lubricant viscosity becomes lower, the friction coefficient is higher. When surface roughness is extreme1y low or high, the friction coefficient is high. As punch comer radius and punch speed are bigger, the value of friction coefficient is smaller. The sensitivity of friction coefficient is mainly governed by lubricant viscosity and sheet surface roughness.

열가소성 복합재의 핫프레스 성형공정에서 근적외선 가열의 적용은 소재를 성형온도까지 고속가열함으로써 공정 전체의 생산성을 확보할 수 있으나, 고에너지, 높은 성형온도, 고속가열에 의해 소재의 열화가 발생하여 재용융 성능 등의 소재 특성이 저하될 수 있다. 이에 본 연구는 고성능 항공소재로 활발히 연구개발되고 있는 Carbon fiber reinforced Polyetherketoneketone(CF/PEKK) 복합재에 적합한 핫프레스 성형공정의 최적화된 공정조건을 확립하기 위하여 근적외선 고속가열을 적용하였을 때, CF/PEKK 복합재에서 발생할 수 있는 열화 메커니즘과 그 특성을 형태학적, 열적 특성 및 기계적 성능 시험을 통해 평가하였다. 열화 반응에 따른 메커니즘 규명은 광학현미경을 활용하여 PEKK의 결정구조의 형태학적 조사를 기반으로 분석하였다. 그 결과, 열화가 진행됨에 따라 구결정의 크기가 감소하며 최종적으로 완전 열화 시 구결정이 소멸되는 것을 확인하였다. 열적 특성은 용융온도, 결정화온도, 발열량이 열화가 진행됨에 따라 감소하는 경향이 관찰되며, 460℃ 장시간 노출에서 결정구조가 소멸된 것을 확인하였다. 랩전단강도(Lap shear strength)시험 결과, 열화된 표면에서는 낮은 접합강도가 관찰되며, 접합면 분석에서 특정 면에서는 열에 의한 용융 특성이 나타나지 않았다. 결론적으로 CF/PEKK 복합재의 근적외선 고속가열 적용에 있어 특정 온도에서 열화 진행되며, 이에 구결정의 형태학적 변화와 열가소성 소재의 재용융 특성의 저하를 확인하였다.
