In the paper, we have proposed a new technique to detemine the initial billet for the forged products using a function approximation in neural network. A three-layer neural network is used and a back propagation algorithm is employed totrain the network. An optimal billet which satisfied the forming limitation, minimum of incomplete filling in the die cavity, load and energyas well as more uniform distribution of effective strain, is determined by applying the ability of function approximation of te neural network. The amount of incomplete filling in the die, load and forming energyas well as effective strain are measured by the rigid-plastic finite element method. The new technique is applied tofind the optimal billet size for the axisymmetric rib-web product in hot forging. This would reduce the number of finite element simulation for determing the optimal billet of forging products, further it is usefully adapted to physical modeling for the forging design.

A fully automatic computer simulation technique of axisymmetric multi-stage compound forging processes was presented in this paper. A penalty rigid-viscoplastic finite element method was employed together with an improved looping method for automatically remeshing with quadrilateral finite-elements only. An application example of six-stage axisymmetric forging processes involving one cold and two hot forging processes, two piercing processes and a sizing process was given with emphasis on automatically tracing the metal flow lines through the whole simulation.

The goal of this paper is to investigate preliminary the applicability of 3D printing technologies for the development of the hot bulk forming process and die. 3D printing technology based on the plastic material was applied to the preform design of the hot forging process. Plastic hot forging dies were fabricated by Polyjet process for the physical simulation of the workpiece deformation. The feasibility of application of Laser-aided Direct Metal Rapid Tooling (DMT) process to the fabrication of the hot bulk metal forming die was investigated. The SKD61 hot-working tool steel was deposited on the heat treated SKD61 using the DMT process. Fundamental characteristics of SKD 61 hot-working tool steel deposited specimen were examined via hardness and wear experiments as well as the observation of the morphology. Using the results of the examination of fundamental characteristics, the applicability of the DMT process to manufacture hot bulk forming die was discussed.

Until now, the clamp yoke of automobile has been largely manufactured by hot forging or burring process. Through the study, the precision cold forging process for clamp yoke has been analysed by using rigid-plastic finite element analysis code, DEFORM-3D. It has shown various results of the FEM simulation. An engineer should select the proper process considering the amount of product.

The purpose of this paper is to compare the forging effects according th the shape of preforms of cup shaped powder forging product, and extend the application of powder forging technology to more complicated cup-shaped products like pistons. In order to this, preforms are provided by compacting, sintering, and machining in various shapes, then forged to final shape of products. The workability for sintered aluminium powder material is examined. Density and strain loci of forged products are compared, and the most effective shape of preform is proposed. The preform for a piston of 50mm in diameter is provided and hot forged to final product.

In this experimental study,aluminum hotforging was conduct to get superior pistion to cast piston. Cast structure of billet is destroyed, harmful defects is removed by forging process. We proposed the direction od die design by observing formability of product according to die shape. The microstructure of forged products with different preform was investigated to determine inital billet shape. We proposed appropriate heat treatment condition for improvement of mechanical properties.

The yoke, a component of conventional motor-driven power steering system, often contains welding defects from its manufacturing process. To eliminate these defects, the precision cold forging process has been tried. In this study, the double-action complex forging has been used to manufacture a torsion joint yoke. The backward extrusion proved faster than the forward extrusion in forging of the product. The double-action complex forging process utilized an upper die composed of a punch, a punch guide, a disc spring and a coil spring. The forged material pushes up the punch guide, and then the disc spring and the coil spring balances the backward extrusion force. Consequently, the flow of material was essentially in the forward direction, resulting in a successful forging operation. The forging load of Al 6061-T6 was higher than that of the automotive structural hot rolled plate.

본 연구에서는 원웨이 클러치의 핵심 부품인 Outer Support Ring의 복합 단조 공정을 개발하고, 시제품을 제작하여 평가하였다. 기존 공정 즉, 열간 단조와 MCT 가공 공정은 과대한 소재 절삭량과 가공 시간이 길다는 단점이 있다. 이를 극복하고자 열간 단조를 통하여 형상을 구현하고, 냉간 단조를 통하여 정밀한 부품을 성형하였다. 최소한의 가공만을 적용하는 복합 단조 공정을 개발하였다. 상용 소프트웨어인 Deform-3D를 이용하여 단조 해석을 수행하였다. 해석 결과를 바탕으로 열간 단조 및 냉간 단조 공정을 설계하였고, 실제 금형 및 시제품을 제작하였다. 제작한 시제품은 경도, 표면 조도, 내부 결함, 단류선 검사 등의 평가를 수행하였다. 평가결과 특이한 문제점은 발견되지 않았으며, 양산적용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 복합 단조를 통하여 열간 단조와 MCT 가공 공정 대비 약 27%의 소재를 절감할 수 있었다. 또한 제품 개당 생산 시간은 약 2.15배 단축되었다. 본 연구를 통하여 원가 절감이 가능한 공정 및 금형 설계 기술을 확립하였고, 이를 통하여 관련 자동차 부품 생산에도 긍정적인 효과가 있을 것으로 기대된다.

A rigid-plastic finite element analysis for the die forging process of a socket ball joint, which is used in the transportation system, was carried out. And also with the results, the elastic stress analysis for the forging die was performed in order to get basic data for the die life prediction. The die fatigue life prediction was simulated using Goodman's and Gerber's equation. The prediction technique for the fatigue life of a forged product, the socket ball joint, using DEFORM-3D is presented and the results are commented upon. Archard's wear model was used for the wear simulation and then the wear simulation and then the wear quantity was quantity was evaluated using volume. In order to prove the wear simulation results to be reliable, wear quantity of the real forging die set in used a forging factory was measured using a 3-dimensional measurement apparatus. The simulation results were relatively in good agreement with the experimental measurements.
