In this study, two types of die material cast iron was treated for surface hardening by using high power diode laser to improve mechanical properties of die which is using as essential production technology in the parts manufacturing in virtually all the infrastructure industries now. First of all, the heat treatment characteristics of FCD550 material which is spheroidal graphite cast iron, and through the heat treatment of HCI350 material which is flake graphite cast iron, the heat treatment characteristics of the two materials were compared. The hardness of hardened zone increased over 3 times over base material for both specimens, but as for required heat input, HCI350 was higher than FCD550 material depending on the heat conductivity of the materials by the content amount and shape of graphite contained in the material.

Die hobbing is one of the dieblock manufacturing methods of cold forging die, which makes the upper side of dieblock indented using master punch, hobb to produce impression not using cutting work. SKD11, alloy tool steel was used as the material of dieblock and stainless sheet metal was used as product material in cold forging work. The life span of the die was 6,000 strokes. In this research, the material of dieblock was changed into SKH51, the high speed tool steel and the product material was S45C, the carbon steel in the cold forging work. The life span of the die was 21,000 strokes, which is 350% of the life span of the die using the former method.

각종 금형 중 사출금형과 프레스 금형이 전체의 80~90%를 차지하고 있으며, 이들 금형을 가공할 때 방전가공이 주로 이용되되 있다. 금형재료 중에서 합금공구강(STD 11)은 열처리하였을 때 경도가 매우 커서 프레스 금형의 다이오와 펀치 등에 널리 사용되고 있다. 이것은 Wire-EDM 이나 Die Sinking EMD으로 가공하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서 프레스 금형의 다이와 펀치 등에 널리 사용되는 열처리된 STD11을 사용하여 가공 제특성에 영향을 주는 가공조건, 즉 방전전류펄스폭 및 방전전류파 고치를 변화시켜 이에 따른 공작물 가공량, 전극소모비, 표면조도, 가공단면의 열변질층 및 경도 변화 등 방전가공비의 성상을 조사하여 STD11의 최적의 방전가공조건을 찾고자 하는 것을 목적으로 하였다.

Hot closed-forging process and the die used for forming an automotive flange were analyzed from the viewpoints of heat transfer, grain-flow lines, and stresses to obtain a forged product without defects such as surface cracks, laps, cold shots, and partial filling. The forging process including up-set, pre-forging, final forging and pressing forces was investigated using finite element analysis. The influence of the preform die and the ratio of the heights of the upper die to lower die on the forging process and die were investigated and a die shape ($10^{\circ}$ for the preform die, and 1.5:1 ratio for the final die) suitable to achieve successful forging was determined on the basis of a parametric study. All parametric design requirements such as strength, full filling, and a load limit of 13,000 KN were satisfied for this newly developed flange die. New dies and flanges were fabricated and investigated. Defects such as partial filling and surface cracks were not observed.

Development of diamond wheel with fine grains and multi-pore structures were newely attempted to be studied in this paper. Wheels, that are employed for the smooth and mirrow finishing of die materials such as tungsten carbide alloy using tool and die materials, must have both performances to remove tool marks efficiently and to contact elastically with curved surfaces. Diamond abrasive grains were bonded firmly by a melamine to prevent the decrease of machining efficiency due to grain sinking within the bond materials. Also, highly foamed structures were developed to increase the flexibility of the wheel, and to induce active self-sharpening by increasing contact pressure between the wheel and work sufaces. In this paper, melamine-bonded diamond wheels are trial manufactured, then the forming method of wheels are explained.

변류기의 제조공법에는 conventional 방식이 있다. Conventional 방식은 부분적으로 불규칙한 경화에 의한 굴곡형태, 단기간에 금형의 손상이 많이 가고, 제한된 생산량으로 금형이 많아야하고 또한 금형의 예열이 필요한 단점을 가지고 있다. 이를 개선한 APG(Automatic Pressure Gelation) 주형방식은 제품의 외관을 매끄럽게 하고, 자동화에 따른 금형수명을 연장하고, 1일 생산량이 conventional 방식보다 8배나 많고 제품의 후경화 설비만 필요한 장점이 있다. 생산성 향상 및 제조원가 절감을 위하여 새로운 제조공법인 APG 방식의 제조공법에 맞는 원재료 및 작업조건을 표준화하고 한국전기연구원이 보유하고 있는 고가장비인 내후성시험기, 성분분석시험기, 충격시험기, 단락시험설비 등을 이용하여 시제품에 대한 평가 시험을 하여 제품의 품질을 향상하고 안정성을 확보함으로써 국내 기업의 기술 경쟁력을 향상하고자 하였다.

주조품 설계 및 제조에 있어서 기존의 유동 및 응고 해석뿐 아니라 최근에는 응력 해석 기법의 적용이 대두 되고 있다. 특히 자동차 산업에 있어서 부품의 경량화는 필수 불가결한 선택이며, 이는 설계자 및 제조업체에 복잡하고 얇은 알루미늄, 마그네슘 주물품에 대하여, 치수적인 문제와 강성의 문제를 동시에 해결하도록 요구하고 있다. 또한 경제적인 관점에서 긴 금형 수명이 요구되나 열 및 기계적인 피로 균열인 'heat checking'은 이러한 금형 수명을 저하시키는 가장 흔한 요소이다. 이런 무제를 해결하기 위해 해석 기법을 이용하여 주조 설계 및 공정을 최적화 함으로써 변형의 최소화 및 금형 수명의 최대화를 달성할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 이러한 기법을 성공적으로 적용하기 위해서는 주조 공정 해석, 재료 시험, 제품 설계 및 공정 최적화 설계가 통합적으로 이루어져야 한다. 본 고에서는 현재 최신 주조 해석 기법을 이용하여, 주조품 제조 공정에서 발생하는 응력과 관련된 문제들에 대한 수치해석 기법을 살펴보고, 이에 대한 리뷰를 제공하고자 한다.

Surface hardening treatment is required to improve the wear-resistance of press die because severe abrasion of die occurs during the drawing process in which the forming of the automotive body is completed and during the trimming process in which the unnecessary parts are cut. In this study, experiments on the laser surface treatment of press die are performed. Specimens are heat-treated separately at certain plate and edge position by using a diode laser to carry out suitable surface hardening treatment to reduce the wear during the drawing and the trimming processes, and the proper conditions for heat treatment are found. Spheroidal and flake graphite cast iron specimens are used, and the heat treatment characteristics of the two materials are compared. From the results of the study, it is confirmed that the heat treatment characteristics differed depending on the materials.

Composite material and mold steel can be expanded differently with the temperature gradients during the forming process because their coefficients of thermal expansions are not the same. Therefore, in order to manufacture the product with accuracy, it is necessary to verify that the forming pressure on the surface of the composite material is maintained to the required level from the material supplier. In this paper, the pressure between the composite material and mold due to the temperature difference was predicted by finite element analysis and the accuracy of predicted value was verified by measuring the thermal expansions of mold steel by the ruler. The predicted value by finite element analysis is closely in agreement with one by the experiment within the required tolerance value of ${\pm}0.05mm$.
