Abstract: In this paper the drawing process of Box-torque was simulated by Dynaform, which is FEM simulation software. The process parameters, which affected the quality of forming, were optimized by finite element simulation. The emphasis was focus on the optimization of draw-bead and BHF and data were summarized from the optimization graphs. In this simulation, lengthways draw-bead was set on the technical face for reducing or eliminating wrinkle. It was innovation difference from the usual that the draw-bead was set on binder. Finally the correctness of simulation was approved by comparing the optimization of simulation with the data of experimentation.

Abstract: The evolution of charge weld during multi-hole porthole die extrusion was studied by means of finite element simulation and Taguchi’s design. Moreover, based on S/N analysis, the optimal process parameters that can reduce the charge weld length was obtained, where the billet diameter is 100 mm, extrusion speed is 2.0 mm/s, tool temperature is 430 °C and billet temperature is 465 °C. The accuracy and effectiveness of such optimal process parameters were also verified. The purpose of the present study is to provide some information about the controlling of charge weld for extrusion engineers.

Abstract: This paper studies the grinding characteristics of magnetic compound fluid by conducting large amounts of experiments. Magnetic compound fluid (MCF) is formed by mixing abrasive grains, α-cellulose, iron powder and Magnetic-Fluid together according to a certain proportion. The experiments are conducted to test the effect of process parameters (such as different period of time, various speed of main axle and fluctuating magnetic field) on grinding results using Solar wafers. The results showed that the grinding surface of solar wafers is within Ra0.1 after 3 minutes and the microscopic appearance of the surface is flat and free of burns phenomenon.

Abstract: This paper reports on preliminary results obtained during exploratory research, investigating the feasibility of employing Friction Hydro Pillar Processing principles as an alternative technique for producing riveted joints in 3.17mm Ti-6Al-4V sheets. Influence of process parameters was investigated to understand material flow during the plasticisation phase. An understanding of joint performance from a macrostructural and hardness point of view was established and forms part of the data presented. Process energy was quantified in relation to rotational speed. The data presented will assist in guiding the overall research objective to determine the feasibility of Friction Hydro Pillar Riveting as a suitable alternative high integrity joining process for the Aerospace industry.

The results indicated that colored film was mainly composed of CuS, the colored film was obtained by the method of combining oxidation and sulfidation, and it had a better adhesion with the substrate, the best optimal process condition were that the temperature was 70°C and the concentration of ferric nitrate and thiosulfate were 9.5g/L and 45g/L respectively.

Abstract: A study was performed to evaluate how the Friction Stir Spot Welding process parameters affect both the thermal distribution in the welding region and the welding forces. An experimental campaign was performed by means of a CNC machine tool and FSSW lap joints on AA6060-T6 aluminum alloy plates having a thickness of 2+2 mm were executed. Five thermocouples were inserted into the samples at a specific distance from the specimen center. A set of tests was carried out by varying the process parameters, namely rotational speed, axial feed rate, plunging depth and dwell time. Axial welding forces were also measured during the execution of the experiments by means of a piezoelectric load cell. The experimental data collected were used to set up and to validate a simulative model of the process. In particular, a 2D FEM model was set up using the commercial code Deform 2D. A 2-dimensional FEM code was preferred in order to guarantee a very simple and practical model able to achieve results in a very short time. Since it is not possible to simulate the rotation of the tool in a 2D configuration, a specific external routine for the calculation of the developed thermal energy due to the friction between tool and workpiece was set up and implemented into the code starting from the local pressure distribution along the contact area.

Abstract: Open die hot forging has a wide industrial application on deforming ingot into billet with desired dimension and qualified internal microstructure. An example open die forging process of Ti-6Al-4V ingot is selected herein. A 3D FE-based numerical method was used to investigate the open die forging process with respect to the real working conditions. The simulation results were validated by the collected experimental process parameters from the forging system. Moreover, design of experiment method is adopted regarding the variation of process parameters to reveal the effects of critical factors on product deformation and quality characteristics. Results show that the process parameters including press speed, feed and reduction has significant effect on the workpiece deformation and effective strain which represents the forged billet formability and quality. Improved process parameters method is suggested with respect to the experienced benchmark based on the sensitivity analysis.
