PE WSQ GRADUATE DIPLOMA IN METAL MANUFACTURING PROCESSES
Perform Integrated Forming Process Technology for Metals (45 hours) This course module aims at providing students with knowledge on precision metal forming for achieving near-net shapes with high accuracy components. Primary objectives of the programme are to improve the competence and competitiveness of personnel in Singapore-based companies with in-house metal forming as an integrated process in their manufacturing lines; or companies specialising in the commercial manufacturing of metal components such as for metal stamping and forging. A second objective is to give personnel a competency base to put Singapore at the forefront of developing state-of-the-art precision metal forming processes like combined stamping and forging of highly complex components and spin forming of hard-to-form materials such as Ni-based alloys, advanced simulation for metal forming and the use of liquid forging to produce cost effective preforms. The program provides critical knowledge in topics such as various bulk and sheet metal forming processes, application and execution of forming process design, tooling design, material selection and characterisation, heat treatment and metallurgy, as well as metal forming simulation and process development for achieving parts with high accuracy and optimum quality. It also includes advanced forming techniques, such as combined stamping and forging for sheet bulk metal forming of complex geometries, and spin forming of high strength hard-to-deform materials, and liquid forging to produce near-net shaped preforms for subsequent forming processes.

About the Course Leaders Dr Danno Atsushi graduated from the Nagoya Institute of Technology in Japan with a PhD(Eng) from the Osaka University, Japan. For many years, he was engaged in R&D for high precision bulk-metal forming technology for manufacturing automotive components in the Toyota Central R&D labs in Japan where he was appointed Director and board member. His research portfolio includes rotary forming (gears, stepped shafts), forging lubrication (warm, cold), forging CAE (FEM simulations, knowledge-based expert systems) and other special metal forming processes. He has authored or co-authored more than fifty original technical papers and registered over twenty five patents in the field. Currently, Dr Atsushi is a PE Senior Consultant (metal forming) at SIMTech/PE-COI where he has been engaged in forming technology R&D and consultation. Dr Chua Beng Wah is a research scientist and the metal forming team leader at SIMTech, with a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from NUS. His current research focuses on metal forming and casting processes, particularly on the areas of liquid forging of light alloys Al, Mg, composites and nanostructured materials, and liquid forging of preforms for forming processes. His research interests include heat transfer and solidification of metallic alloys, thermo-mechanical processing of metals and alloys, particularly on the effects of grain refinement on deformation and strengthening mechanisms. He is currently involved in a number of research and industry projects and is responsible for their technology commercialisations, especially for the translation of liquid forging technology into the market applicability. Dr Song Xu is a scientist from the Forming Technology Group at SIMTech with over five years of experience in manufacturing processes. His areas of research interest include residual stress measurement and simulation, distortion control, finite element simulation techniques in deformation at different scales, advanced joining techniques and rotary forming. He obtained his doctorate degree in modelling residual stresses and deformation in metal at different scales from the University of Oxford, UK. Dr Suwat Jirathearanat received his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the Ohio State University, USA. Forming technology of lightweight sheet metals is his main research area, focusing on design and development of innovative hybrid forming processes and tools through advanced materials characterisation, simulation modeling and optimisation. He has over ten years of experience working closely with the main automotive parts suppliers in Thailand.
