This research was examined the effect of intercritical heat treatment on the mechanical Properties and retained austenite formation in 0.1C-6.5Mn steels for the development of a high strength high ductility steel. using of transformation induced plasticity due to retained austenite. The stability of retained austenite is very important for the good ductility and it depend on diffusion of carbon and manganese during reverse transformation. It is effective to heat treat at$ 645^{\circ}C$ in order to obtain over 30 vol.% of retained austenite. However, it is more desirable to heat treat at $620^{\circ}C$, considering the volume fraction and mechanical stability of retained austenite. The strength-elongation combination in cold rolled steel sheets after reverse transformed at $620^{\circ}C$ for 1hr was about 4000k9/mm7, but it decreased rapidly with increasing holding time at high temperature due to the decrease of ductility. The addition of 1.1%Si in 0.14C-6.5Mn TRIP steel does not improve the mechanical properties and retained austenite formation.

Particulate composites of $Al_2O_3$/TiC/SiC, $Al_2O_3$/TiC and $Al_2O_3$/SiC have been fabricated by hot pressing and their R-curve behaviors and mechanical properties were investigated. $Al_2O_3$ containing 30 vol% TiC particles showed higher toughness by 8% than that for monolithic alumina and its fracture strength was increased significantly by approximately 30%. On the other hand, the addition of 30 vol% SiC of $3{\mu}m$ in $Al_2O_3$ decreased the fracture strength slightly but induced a rising R-curve behavior owing to the strong crack bridging of SiC particles. In case of $Al_2O_3$/TiC/SiC, arising R-curve behavior was also observed and the fracture toughness reached 6.6 MPa${\cdot}\sqrt{m}$ at the crack length of $1000{\mu}m$, which was lower than that of $Al_2O_3$/SiC, however, while the fracture strength was higher by about 20%. The fracture toughness seemed to be decreased as smaller TiC particles roughened the SiC interface and pullout of the SiC particles for crack bridging became less active.

CMP (Chemical Mechanical Planarization)는 고직접도의 다층구조의 소자를 형성하기 위한 표면연마 공정으로 사용되며, pattern 크기의 감소에 따른 공정 중요도는 증가하고 있다. 반도체 소자 제조 공정에서는 낮은 비용으로 초기재료를 만들 수 있고 우수한 성능의 전기 절연성질을 가지는 산화막을 만들 수 있는 단결정 실리콘 웨이퍼가 주 재료로 사용되고 있으며, 반도체 공정에서 실리콘 웨이퍼 표면의 거칠기는 후속공정에 매우 큰 영향을 미치므로 CMP 공정을 이용한 평탄화 공정이 필수적이다. 다결정 실리콘 박막은 현재 IC, RCAT (Recess Channel Array Transistor), 3차원 FinFET 제조 공정에서 사용되며 CMP공정을 이용한 표면 거칠기의 최소화에 대한 연구의 필요성이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 알칼리성 슬러리를 이용한 단결정 및 다결정 실리콘의 식각 및 연마거동에 대한 특성평가를 실시하였다. 화학적 기계적 연마공정에서 슬러리의 pH는 슬러리의 분산성, removal rate 등 결과에 큰 영향을 미치고 연마대상에 따라 pH의 최적조건이 달라지게 된다. 따라서 단결정 및 다결정 실리콘 연마공정의 최적 조건을 확립하기 위해 static etch rate, dynamic etch rate을 측정하였으며 연마공정상의 friction force 및 pad의 온도변화를 관찰한 후 removal rate을 계산하였다. 실험 결과, 단결정 실리콘은 다결정 실리콘보다 static/dynamic etch rate과 removal rate이 높은 것으로 나타났으며 슬러리의 pH에 따른 removal rate의 증가율은 다결정 실리콘이 더 높은 것으로 관찰되었다. 또한 다결정 실리콘 연마공정에서는 friction force 및 pad의 온도가 단결정 실리콘 연마공정에 비해 상대적으로 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 결과적으로 단결정 실리콘의 연마 공정에서는 화학적 기계적인 거동이 복합적으로 작용하지만 다결정 실리콘의 경우 슬러리를 통한 화학적인 영향보다는 공정변수에 따른 기계적인 영향이 재료 연마율에 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인되었으며, 이를 통한 최적화된 공정개발이 가능할 것으로 예상된다.

The purpose of this study is to improve the strength and thermal conductivity of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) by embedding various additives. Specimens were prepared using PBT pellets embedded with glass fibers (GF) and boron nitride (BN) powders. The test results showed that tensile strength decreased, and thermal conductivity increased with increasing BN contents. with thermal shock cycles conducted, unfilled PBT showed a considerable decrease in failure strain and strength, whereas strength and thermal conductivity of glass fiber and BN particle-embedded PBT had little differeces. With increasing BN, the thermal conductivity of PBT composites was highly improved.

In general, butyl rubber(IIR : isobutylene isoprene rubber) has excellent gas permeability resistance and impact absorbance property as low resilience elastomer. In this experiment butyl rubber blends with EPDM(ethylene propylene diene monomer) were prepared by mechanical mixing method. Curing behavior, physical properties and ozone resistance etc. were subsequently examined. Measurement results of gas transmission rate test shows that butyl rubber contents above 50 wt% showed significant decrease in gas permeability resistant property. However, in butyl rubber/EPDM blend, EPDM contents above 25 wt% indicates no surface change due to improvement of ozone resistance under the condition of 50 pphm, $50^{\circ}C$, 120 hrs.

Recently, the composite materials have been researched actively by many researchers because of its useful properties. Especially, an interface crack on the dissimilar material exposes the behavior of the mixed mode crack even though under only the tension stress. In the previous papers, crack energy density(CED) was shown as the crack behavior evaluation parameter which can be expressed consistently from the onset until a final fracture. In a present paper, the basic properties of CED on the interface crack are examined because the results by CED at the homogeneous material above are also expected to be held at the dissimilar material. And we proposed that the contribution of each mode of CED can be separated and be evaluated. Furthermore, the total CED and contribution of each mode are evaluated by domain integral through a finite element analysis at the elastic crack model and the basic examination are carried out.

According to the lack of resources and the stringency of environmental regulations, a study of the high strength thin plate sheet steels for automobile have been become an important issue for automobile industry. However, the problem of hydrogen embrittlement of high strength sheet steels was concerned with the degradation of mechanical properties. Therefore, we studied the hydrogen behavior of surface layers of 590MPa DP sheet steels on development using by relationship the microstructure of subsurface and the distribution of micro hardnesses. Hydrogen was charged into the specimens using by the cathodic electrolytic method. The behavors of under surface layers were investigated by the observation of microstructures and the micro vickers hardness test with the amount of hydrogen charging with hydrogen charging conditions.

In this research, we studied curing and filler systems for preparation of fast cure SMC and low-density SMC, respectivly. Two curing systems were evaluated for fast cure SMC formulation. One is a mixed initiator system and the other is an activator system. For low-density SMC, glass micro-baloon(GMB) was used as a filler. Various SMC formulations were cured in an appropriate way, and their curing behavior and physical/mechanical properties were characterized. Curing rates were increased with increasing quantity of mixed initiator and activator, but mechanical properties were not affected. As the quantities of GMB increased, density and mechanical properties were decreased.

This paper presented analysis methods for adapting E-glass fiber/epoxy composite (GFRP) materials to an automotive leaf spring. It focused on the static behaviors of the leaf spring due to the material composition and its fiber orientation. The material properties of the GFRP composite were directly measured based on the ASTM standard test. A reverse implementation was performed to obtain the complete set of in-situ fiber and matrix properties from the ply test results. Next, the spring rates of the composite leaf spring were examined according to the variation of material parameters such as the fiber angles and resin contents of the composite material. Finally, progressive failure analysis was conducted to identify the initial failure load by means of an elastic stress analysis and specific damage criteria. As a result, it was found that damage first occurred along the edge of the leaf spring owing to the shear stresses.
