Process planning can be defined as determining detailed methods by which parts can be manufactured from the initial to the finished stage. Process planning starts with determining the manufacturing process based on the geometric shape of the part and the machines and tools required for performing this process. Distributed process planning enables production planning to be performed easily by combining the extracted process and various manufacturing resources such as operations and tools. This study proposes an algorithm to determine the process for a feature-based model and to combine manufacturing resources for the process and implements a distributed process planning system.

Dissimilar joining of aluminum 6061-T6 alloy to aluminum 5083-O alloy was performed using friction-stir welding technique. The mechanical properties, hardness, macro- and micro-structure on dissimilar friction-stir-weld aluminium alloy were investigated. Mechanical properties of the weld mainly depend on which Al alloy is placed at the retreating sides of the rotating tool respectively during dissimilar friction-stir weld because the microstructure of stir zone was mainly composed of welded Al alloys of the retreating side. Onion ring pattern was observed like lamella structure stacked by each Al alloy in turn. It apparently results in defect-free weld zone that traverse speed was changed to 124 mm/min under conditions of tool rotation speed like 1250 rpm with 5 mm of tool's prove diameter, 4.5 mm of prove length, 20 mm of shoulder diameter, and $2^{\circ}$ of tilting angle. The 231 MPa of ultimate stress and the 121 MPa of yield point are obtained about the friction-stir-welded Al 6061-T6(AS) to Al 5083-O(RS).

The use of functionally graded materials (FGMs) may enhance thermal conductivity without reducing the desired strength in many applications such as injection molds embedding conformal cooling channels and cutting tools with heat sinks (or cooling devices). As a fundamental study for cutting tools having FGM heat sinks between M2 tool steel and Cu, six FGM specimens (M2 and Cu powders were premixed such that the relative compositions of M2 and Cu were 100:0, 80:20, 60:40, 40:60, 20:80, and 0:100 wt%) were fabricated by powder metallurgy in this study. The cross sections of these specimens were observed by optical microscopy, and then the material properties (such as thermal conductivity, specific heat, and coefficient of thermal expansion) related to heat transfer were measured and analyzed.

Conventional polishing of stone panel edges has been done by hand. While this has changed somewhat with the advent of automatic machines, it is still very much a hand finishing technology. For the development of edge shape milling tool, the primary test on characteristics of edge shape milling tool was carried out. This paper presents the results of tests focused upon the milling capability that was varied by the variables of operation parameters. Author tried to confirm the effect of six operation parameters of equipment such as rotation speed, advance speed, applied load, water flow rate and rotational direction. The result from test was described in term of shape milling capability that was defined as cutting volume of rock by unit weight of tool wear. The variance of the results could indicate the optimum level of each operating parameters. The test was also carried out to determine the abrasion resistance varied according to the abrasive flow rate. The abrasion resistance was increased with the abrasive flow rate, but over some rate it was not changed.

An effective die-polishing robot system is developed. ATC (Automatic Tool Change), tool posture angle control, and robot program for polishing application are developed and integrated into a robotic system that consists of a robot, pneumatic grinding tool, and grinding abrasives (papers and special films). ATC is specifically designed to exchange whole grinding tool set for complete unmanned operation. A tool posture angle control system is developed for the tools to maintain a specified skew angle rather than right angle on the surface for best finishing results. A PC and the robot controller control ATC and tool posture angle. Also, there have been more considerations on enhancing the performance of the system. Elastic material is inserted between the grinding pad and the holder for better grinding contact. Robot path data are generated automatically from the NC data of previous machining process.

Milling 가공시 공구와 피삭재의 접합명에서는 절삭가공의 잔유물인 burr가 생성되고, 이러한 Burr는 작업효율과 정밀도를 감소시키며 추처리과정 (Deburring)을 야기시키는 원인이 된다. 그러므로 정밀도와 작업효율을 극대화하기 위해서는 이러한 Burr의 생성원리를 파악함과 동시에 Exit Burr의 여부에 대한 판별을 하여 최적의 가공조건을 맞추어 주어야 하는데, 이러한 경우에 지금까지는 점, 선 및 원으로 피삭재의 형상을 재현하여 공구의 경로와의 Exit 각을 통해 결과를 예측하는 연구를 해왔었다. 본 논문에서 추구하고자 하는 핵심은 이러한 피삭재의 형상을 재현하기 위해 지금까지 사용해왔던 요소를 보다 다양화시키는 방안을 제시하여 프로그램의 적용 범위를 넓히려는 것이다. 예컨대 이제까지 실제 가공에서 사용되고 있는 임의형상에 대한 표현 방식 중에서 대다수 CAD 프로그램에서 곡선 및 곡면을 표현하는 경우, B-Spline Curve의 알고리즘은 패삭재의 불규칙적인 곡면을 가장 근사하게 표현하는 최적의 해결책으로 쓰여지고 있다. 그러므로 이러한 알고리즘을 통해 프로그램의 적용예를 넓히는 것은 보다 다양한 조건에서의 Burr생성에 대한 예측을 가능케 해주는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 앞에서 언급한 바와 같이 B-Spline Curve 알고리즘을 개발하고, 프로그램에 적용하는 일련의 과정을 통해 보다 다양한 형상의 피삭재에서 단일 혹은 복합경로의 공구가 지나갈 경우에 생길 수 있는 Burr를 얼마나 효율적으로 판별할 수 있는지를 소개하고자 한다.

In this study, hemisphere and cylindrical shapes were machined for different tool paths and machining conditions with ball endmill cutters. Tool deflection, cutting forces and shape accuracy were measured according to the inclination position of the sculptured surface. As the decreasing of inclination position angle, the tool deflection was increased due to the decreased cutting speed when the cutting edge is approaching toward the center. Tool deflection when upward cutting is obtained less than that of downward cutting and down-milling in upward cutting showed the least tool deflection for the sculptured surface. Roundness values were found in least roundness error when down-milling in upward cutting. It is obtained the very little difference between 90。and 45。 of inclination position angle. The best surface roughness value was obtained in upward up-milling and showed different tendency with tool deflection and cutting force. For down-milling, the cutting resistance of the side wall direction is larger than that of feed direction. Therefore, this phenomenon which is received over cutting resistance can be caused of chatter.

In the previously reported Part I, the behavior of the flank wear for carbide tool was studied as a preceeding step to present a simple method for Quick Tool-Life Testing, and the following general equation was obtained $W_{f}$ =(a+bt) $V^{m}$ . In this study the following step-cutting formula for the constants a, b and m in the above general model is derived by using step-cutting data [a numerical formula] To check the validity of the above formula, the comparison is made between the tool-life equation inferred in this method and that inferred in the conventional tool-life testing method, when the wear criterion is 0.3mm. The equation obtained in the present method is V(T')$^{0.57}$=1763 whereas the equation obtained in the conventional tool-life testing method is V(T)$^{0.56}$=1605 The results of the above two formula are satisfactory and also verify the validity of the present research.earch.

The surveyed area is mainly distributed by the sedimentary rocks, tuffs, and esites in Cretaceous age and acidic and basic dikes are intruded in these rocks. The principle discontinuities are represented by beddings, joints and faults. The trends of the beddings of sedimentary rocks develop as E-W direction in the start area. However, they are gradually bending and finally their trends are N-S direction in terminal area. In the sedimentary rocks the 3∼4 joint sets are distributed and in dikes joints are more scattered. The majority of joints are highly dipped. Sampo fault which has NE-SW trend makes a valley and NW trending normal faults are well developed at 50k+600 to 51k+000 area. During the construction of tunnel the orientation of discontinuities will not significantly influence on the stability of excavation. Since the rock mass is extensively jointed, the overbreak in tunnel wall may be placed.

This paper deals with the study of feasibility of rotary carbide tools in the machining of aluminium alloy. A rotary tool holder was designed and manufactured for this work. Experiments were performed using Taguchi methods and regression analysis to analyse the influence of various factors and their interactions on the cutting characteristics of rotary carbide tools during machining. The cutting force is influenced the most featly at the inclination angle. The surface roughness is influenced distinctly at depth of cut. It deduced an equation to predict cutting force and surface roughness. Hence, it could be concluded here that the proposed model agrees with the experimental data satisfactorily.
