A UBET program is developed for determining flash the optimum sizes of preform and initial billet in plane-strain closed-die forging. The program consists of forward and backward tracing processes. In the forward program, flash, die filling and forging load are predicted. In backward tracing process the optimum dimensions of initial billet and preform are determined from the final-shape data based on flash design. Experiments are carried out with pure plasticine billets ar room temperature. The theoretical predictions of forging load and flow pattern are in good agree-ment with the experimental results.

A large crank shaft for ship engine consists of several components, such as throw, jornal, pin and flange. These compoents are individually made by open-die forging followed by machining and they are thermally fitted to form the crankshaft. In the present investigation, it was attempted to design an optimum preform for the throw by use of the spread coefficient. The spread coefficient found in the literature was confirmed by comparison with experimental results using plasticine. However, the preform designed by the spread coefficient was unable to produce the final product. The reason was found that the spread coefficient differs distinctly for the magnitude of bite ratio. Therefore, another spread coefficient, especially for low bite ratios, was proposed and the preform was redesigned. It was found that the new preform was able to produce the final product.

A UBET program is developed for determining the optimum sizes of preform of a rib-web part in axisymmetric closed-die forging. The program consists of forward and backward tracing processes. In forward process, material flow, degree of die filling, and forging load are predicted. In backward tracing process, the optimum dimensions of initial billet and preform are determined from the final-shape data without flash. The above program is easy to handle input data with and is convenient to visualize the whole process of closed-die forging with. Experiments are carried out with pure plasticine billets at room temperature. The theoretical predictions of the forging load and the flow pattern are in good agreement with the experimental results.

The backward tracing scheme(BWT) of the finite element method has been extended lot the design of sheet blank in three-dimensional deformation. Originally the scheme was developed for preform design in bulk forming, and applied to several forming processes successfully. Its key concept is to trace backward from the final desirable configuration to an intermediate preform or initial blocker. A program for initial blank design in sheet forming which contains the capabilities of forward loading simulation by the finite element method and backward tracing simulation, has been developed and proved the effectiveness by applying to a square cup stamping process. In the blank design of square cup stamping, the backward tracing program can produce an optimum blank configuration which forms a sound net-shape cup product without machining after forming. For the confirmation of the analytic result derived from the backward tracing simulations as well as forward loading simulations, a series of experiment were carried out. The experiments include the first trial sheet forming process with a rectangular blank, an improved process with a modified blank preform and the final process with an optimum blank resulted from the backward tracing scheme. The experiments show that the backward tracing scheme has been implemented successfully in blank design of sheet metal forming.

PET병은 프리폼(preform)을 사출성형한 후 이를 블로우 성형기에 이송시켜 블로잉하여 성형된다. 내열을 요구하는 병 즉, 주스나 곡류음료용 PET병은 목 부분(neck 또는 thread 부분)에 내열성을 부여하기 위해 프리폼 성형 후 블로잉하기 전에 목 부분을 결정화시킨다. 그러나 사출성형품에 존재하는 잔류응력이 결정화를 방해하기 때문에 프리폼 목 부분의 충분한 결정화를 위해 사출 후 프리폼을 열처리(annealing)한다. 이 열처리는 잔류응력을 해소시키기 위해서 수행하는데 사출 시 성형조건의 최적화를 통하여 잔류응력을 최소화한다면 열처리 시간을 단축시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 사출 시 프리폼에 형성되는 잔류응력을 최소화하고 치수정밀도를 유지하기 위한 연구로 CAE 해석을 통하여 최적 사출조건을 제시하였다. 성형조건별 잔류응력 및 수축률의 변화를 관찰하고 이를 최소화시키는 성형조건을 찾기 위해 실험계획법을 적용하였다. 사출온도, 보압크기, 그리고 사출시간을 인자로 하여 최적의 성형조건을 결정하였다. 잔류응력에 영향을 주는 인자는 사출온도와 사출시간 순으로 나타났고 수축률에 영향을 주는 인자는 사출온도로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 결정한 최적 조건에서 최대 잔류응력, 잔류응력의 분포, 그리고 수축률이 기존 조건에 비해 각각 22%, 40%, 그리고 25% 감소하였다.

Nowadays, cast ingots has been used as preforms for forging to reduce the cost and the number of processes. In this study, the forging ability of Al cast alloys was investigated by using hot compression tests. Hot compression behavior of the cast Al alloys has been studied The flow stress increased by decreasing the compression temperature and by increasing the strain rate. In case of melt treatment the flow stress decreased comparing to untreated A356.0 Al alloy. Also, We developed the various forged lower control arm using the cast preform. The optimum design of product and cast preform was investigated After Prototyping of Al forged lower arm, durability and buckling test were performed.

Powder forged Connecting Rods have become attractive for use in automotive engines. The powder forging process offers beneficial material utilization as well as the minimization of finishing operations over that of conventionally forged rods. In the present work, the sintering behavior of Fe-2Cu-0.6C, optimum preform design and forgeability of various forging variables were investigated. Our data were generated using a newly proposed sub-scale con-rod developed specifically to simulate the powder forging process. We obtain optimum condition of sintering and powder forging process.

The significance of casting/forging process for reducing the production cost of large components is being noted in these days. This casting/forging process is a method of forging a workpiece preformed by casting into the final shape. In this study, the casting/forging process has been applied in manufacturing a large aluminum flange in order to determine the optimum forging condition of the aluminum flange. The optimum range of forging temperature of Al 5083 was from $420^{\circ}C$ to $450^{\circ}C$. The suitable strain rate was 1.5 $sec^{-1}$. The deformation amount of a preform in a forging process is key role in the mechanical properties of casting/forging products. In order to find the change of mechanical properties according to effective stain of cast aluminum billets, a hot upsetting test were performed with rectangular blocks and then a uniaxial tensile test was performed with specimens cut from the upsetted billets. The tensile strength and the elongation of cast/upsetted aluminum billets were increased largely until the effective strain was 0.7. FE analysis was performed to determine the configurations of cast preform and die for an aluminum flange. In the FE analysis, the forging load-limit was fixed 1500ton for the low equipment cost. The cast preform was designed so that the effective stain around the neck of a flange exceeds 0.7. In the forging experiment for an aluminum flange, it was confirmed that the optimal configuration of the cast preform predicted by FE analysis was very useful. The cast/forged products using designed preform were made perfectly without any defects.

An optimum blank design technology is required for near-net of net-shape cold forming using sheets. Originally, the backward tracing scheme has been developed for preform design in bulk forming, and applied to several forming processes successfully. Its key concept is to trace backward from the final desirable configuration to an intermediate preform of initial blocker. A program for initial blank design in sheet forming which contains the capabilities of forward loading simulation by the finite element method and backward tracing simulation, has been developed and proved the effectiveness by applying to a square cup stamping process. In the blank design of square cup stamping, the backward tracing program can produce an optimum blank configuration which forms a sound net-shape cup product without machining after forming. Another general application appears in the blank design of a cup stamping with protruding flanges, one of typical automobile components. The blank configurations derived by backward tracing simulation have been confirmed by a series of loading simulations. The approach or decision of an initial blank configuration presented in this study will be a milestone in fields of sheet forming process design.
