The characteristics of thixoforming process can decrease liquid segregation because of the improvement in fluidity in a globular microstructure state and utilizes flow without an air entrapment. Therefore, in order to obtain the sound parts of metal matrix composites by using thixoforming process which is co-existing solidus-liquidus phase, it is very important to obtain a die design, fabrication conditions which affects the uniformity of the solid fraction on unfilling state and various defects throughout the fabricated parts. The die designs and fabrication conditions to obtain the good piston part are proposed for thixogorging process of metal matrix composites.

Ni-W 합금도금은 내마모성, 내산성 및 내열성 등의 여러 특성을 가지며 높은 피막경도도 안정하게 얻어지기 때문에 경질 Cr 도금의 대체도금으로서 유리 성형용 금형, 롤러 표면재료, 자동차 접동부품 등 다양한 공업 분야와 제품에 적용되고 있다. Ni-W 합금도금은 도금액 및 전해조건에 따라서 도금 피막에 균열이 생기는 경우가 있다. 도금 피막의 균열 발생요인으로서 도금재료의 환경온도에 의한 열응력, 도금 피막과 기재와의 팽창 수축 차이에 의한 영향을 생각할 수 있다. 도금 내부응력의 발생이유로서 공석한 수소의 이탈설, 결정합체설, 이외에 과잉 에너지설 및 결자결함설도 제안되고 있다.

The densification behaviors of mixtures of copper and steel powders during cold die compaction were investigated. We proposed the pressure-dependent yield function based on the rule of the mixtures of each yield function of a critical relative density type. The constitutive equations were implemented into a finite element program (DEFORM2D) to analyze the densification and deformation behavior of powder mixtures, and the simulated results are in good agreement with the experimental results in reference studies.

A fabrication process for SiC whisker preform reinforced AC4A Al composites is being developed. The Al alloy used as the matrix in this study is AC4A. SiC whisker preform made by Tokai Carbon Co. Ltd. Shizuoka, Japan were used. These consisted of $\beta$-type single crystals 0.1 ~ 10${\mu}$m in diameter and 20~10${\mu}$m in length. The most adequate fabrication condition was that whisker preform was preheated up to 750~80$0^{\circ}C$, set into a mould preheated to ~40$0^{\circ}C$, molten Al alloy heated to ~80$0^{\circ}C$ and applied pressure 75MPa. And Si$C_w$reinforced AC4A composite was advanced above twice than AC4AI/M. Also it was not large effect by pressure at Si$C_w$ 20v/o.

초경합금은 경도가 높은 재료를 말하며 일반적으로는 탄화텅스텐(WC)계 재료를 말한다. 국내 현재 초경합금 동향은 반도체 산업, 내마모성 공구, 절삭공구, 금형 등 많은 분야에 사용되어지고 있다. 또한 최근 들어 FSW (Friction Stir Welding, FSW)기술이 발전함에 따라 접합기술개발이 다양화되면서 FSW Tool의 고성능의 초경 재료가 요구되어지며 장수명의 Tool개발이 되어야 한다. 국내에서는 초경 합금 재료로 사용되어지고 있는 텅스텐 카바이드(WC)와 코발트(Co)를 이용하여 많은 연구가 진행되었다. 본 실험에서는 텅스텐 카바이드와 코발트 및 몰르브덴 카바이드를 혼합하여 소결체를 제조하였다. 실험에 사용된 텅스텐 카바이드는 높은 경도를 가지고 강한 취성을 나타내며, 소결에 어려운 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점을 코발트와 몰리브덴 카바이드를 첨가하여 소결온도를 낮춰주는 역할과 액상 소결시 텅스텐카바이드 입자사이에 침투하여 액상소결에 의한 치밀화가 가능하게 해주며 인성이 향상되어 고인성 재료를 만들 수 있었다. 본 실험에서는 합성과 치밀화가 동시에 진행되는 SPS (Spark Plasma Sintering:SPS) 장비를 이용하여 실험을 진행하였다. 이 방법은 방전플라즈마 소결 공법으로, 기존의 연소법과 열간 가압기술(Hot-press, HIP)을 결합한 방식으로 단 시간, 단일공정으로 치밀한 소결체를 얻을 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 $WC-5Mo_2C$-5wt%Co 소결체 제조를 위해 원소 분말을 Horizontal ball milling 혼합하였다. 균일하게 혼합된 분말을 흑연다이에 충진하여 펄스전류와 기계적 압력을 동시에 가하여 $WC-5Mo_2C-5Co$ 복합재료를 제조하고 소결체의 밀도, 순도, 상변태, 미세조직 등을 분석 및 평가하였다. SPS공정 조건은 고진공하에서 $1,200^{\circ}C$-60MPa, 펄스비 12:1 조건으로 수행하였으며, 얻어진 $WC-5Mo_2C-5Co$ 소결체의 상대 밀도는 98%이상 이였다. 또한, 결정립 크기는 약 400 nm였으며, 경도는 $2,453kg/mm^2$를 나타내었다.

In this paper, a carbon fiber/epoxy composite-aluminum hybrid wheel for passenger cars was suggested for better performance and a prototype was fabricated and tested. Adhesive bonding between aluminum part and a composite rim part was used, and the bonding length and thickness were determined by finite element analysis. For self alignment and the function of bonding jig the special structure with a groove and a protrusion was applied. To evaluate the performance of the hybrid wheel various FE analyses were carried out. Inner and outer molds were prepared for the composite rim part and the thermoformed composite part was bonded to the aluminum part. Vibration tests revealed that the hybrid wheel had 16% higher resonance frequency and 32% higher damping capacity with 10% weight reduction.

High temperature plasma coating technology has been applied to recover damaged aluminum dies from wear by spraying pure aluminum and alumina powder. However, the coated mixed powder layer composed of aluminum and alumina often undergoes a detachment from the substrate, making the coated substrate die unable to maintain its expected life span. In this study, in order to increase the bonding strength between the substrate and the coating layer, a pure aluminum layer was applied as an intermediate bond layer. In order to prepare the specimen with variable bond coating conditions, the bond coat layers with a various gun speed from 10 cm/sec to 30 cm/sec were prepared with coating cycle variations ranging from three to nine cycles. The specimen with a bond coat layer coated with a gun speed of 20 cm/sec and three coating cycles exhibited ~13MPa of adhesion strength, while the specimen without a bond coat layer showed ~6 MPa of adhesion strength. The adhesion strength with a variation of bond coat layer thickness is discussed in terms of coating parameters.

In this paper. various tow parameters such as equivalent tow thickness, amplitude of longitudinal tow and tow intervals were investigated and compared with each other by using microscopic observation to find out the exact deformation patterns between both directions of the fabric structure(Longitudinal and Transverse Directions). And those observation results were compared with bias extension. biaxial tests results with dry fabric which has the same tow structure as the draped helmet materials and also compared with prepreg specimen which is cured by autoclave moulding without vacuum and pressure condition. Specimens for the observation were taken from draped helmet which is made of fabric composite(Five Harness Satin Weave). From the observation results, it was found that there are different deformation pattern between tow directions and effect of geometric condition on the deformation of the fabric materials during draping process was verified.

The research on a thermal stress control layer (TSCL) begins to undertake to reduce residual stress and strain in the vicinity of the joined region between the hardfacing layer and the base part. The goal of this paper is to estimate the material combination and the thickness of TSCL for the Stellite21 hardfaced STD61 hot working tool steel via three-dimensional finite element analysis (FEA). TSCL is created by the combination of Stellite21 and STD61. The thickness of TSCL ranges from 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm. The influence of the material combination and the thickness of TSCL on temperature, thermal stress and thermal strain distributions of the hardfaced part have been investigated. The results of the investigation have been revealed that a proper material combination of TSCL is Stellite21 of 50 % and STD61 of 50 %, and its appropriate thickness is 1.0 mm.
