기존의 금속조형물은 만드는 공정으로 주조-후처리 또는 정밀 기계가공방법은 많은 시간과 노력이 필요한 단점이 있었다. 최근에 귀금속 성형점토 (PMC)라는 마이크로 크기의 분말과 바인더가 혼합되어 마치 점토와 같이 직접 수공 또는 치공구를 이용하여 완성하고 $650-850^{\circ}C$ 정도의 저온에서 소결하여 단시간 안에 최종 조형물을 만들 수 있는 신공정이 개발된 바 있다. 본 연구에서는 선진사와 비슷한 $1{\~}3{\mu}$m급은 분말을 1:1로 혼합하고 고형 바인더를 첨부하여 기존 선진사와 동등하거나 우수한 미세조직과 표면경도를 확보하고 조형비가 있는 시작품을 만드는데 성공하였다.

Micro-abrasive jet machining(${\mu}AJM$) using mask is a fine machining technology which can carve a figure on a material. The mask should have holes exactly same as the required figure. Abrasive particles are jetted into the holes of the mask and it collide with the material. The collision break off small portion of the material. And the ${\mu}AJM$ nozzle should move all over the machining area. However, in general the carving shape is modeled as in a bitmap figure, because it often contains characters. And the mask model is also often modeled from the bitmap image. Therefore, the machining path of the ${\mu}AJM$ also efficient if it can be generated from the bitmap image. This paper suggest an algorithm which can generate ${\mu}AJM$ tool path directly from the bitmap image of the carving figure. And shows some test results and applications.

As mechanical structures are minimized, the demand on micro dies and molds has increased. Machining complex 3D shapes requires fabrication procedures for preparing the electrodes. Micro electrical discharge milling using a simple shape electrode can produce 3D micro structure. In this paper the machining characteristics of micro electrical discharge milling according to depth of cut and capacitance are investigated. The machining time is diminished when simple tool-paths and algorithms for changing the feedrate are applied. But a distorted bottom shape and a tapered wall shape are inevitable after machining. The distorted bottom shape and the taper angle of wall are reduced by finish machining.

최근 기계가공기술의 발달에 따라 내마모용 TiN 박막의 수요가 증가하였고, TiN박막은 내마모용으로 높은 경도 및 밀착력을 필요로 한다. TiN박막을 증착시키는 방법은 PVD, CVD 등 여러 가지가 있으나 본 연구에서 공구강 SKD 61기판 표면과 Radical Nitriding(RN) 처리된 SKD 61 기판에 arc ion plating(AIP)를 이용하여 TiN 박막을 증착시켜 표면경도를 향상시키고, 이 코팅층의 미세구조가 기계적 특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 그 결과 RN처리된 SKD61에서 코팅 두께가 많이 나왔고, 스크래치테스트 결과 접착력이 향상되었음을 알 수 있었다.

To research of the improved mechanical properties of materials for spectacle lens cutting, SiC and TiC were used as the main powder. Also, $Al_2O_3$ and $Y_2O_3$ was included as a sintering additive. The weight ratio of the alumina($Al_2O_3$) to yttria($Y_2O_3$) was set to 1:1. The materials for spectacle lens cutting were fabricated by hot-pressing at $1810^{\circ}C$ for 1h and subsequently annealed at $1860^{\circ}C$ for 3, 6 and 12h to initiated grain growth. The longer annealing time is, the bigger the grain size is. The microstructures were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The SEM images were quantitatively analyzed by image analysis (Image-Pro Plus, Media Cybernetics, Maryland, U.S.A.). Crack deflection by elongated SiC grains was most frequently observed as the dominant toughening mechanism. Crack deflection was generally observed for elongated SiC grains with aspect ratio(AR) > 2.5 and grain thickness < $2.3{\mu}m$. Crack bridging was also observed as one of the operating toughness mechanism.

An investigation of the effects of CaO on microstructure and properties of SiC materials for spectacle lens cutting was described. Four materials with different composition have been fabricated by hot-pressing at $1,880^{\circ}C$ for 4h using CaO. SEM analysis and XRD of the surface of samples were carried out. Typical fracture toughness of materials for spectacle lens cutting was $5.4MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$. Also, The hardness of materials for spectacle lens cutting was relatively dependent on the density.

Since polycrystalline diamond (PCD) has high hardness like diamond, it has been used as tool material for lathe and milling of non-ferrite material. A micro tool fabricated from PCD material can be used for micro machining of hard material such as tungsten carbide, glass, and ceramics. In this paper, micro PCD tools were fabricated by micro EDM (electrical discharge machining) and used for micro grinding of glass. Craters generated on the tool surface by EDM spark work as like grits in grinding process. The effects of tool shapes, tool roughness and PCD grain size were investigated. Also studied was a hybrid process combining electrochemical discharge machining (ECDM) and micro grinding for micro-structuring of glass.

3-D micro structures and micro tools were fabricated using Micro Electrical Discharge Machining (MEDM). To make micro structures, micro electrical discharge milling process was applied. During micro electrical discharge milling, electrode (tool) worn in the both axial and radial direction. To compensate tool wear which has significant influence on machining accuracy, machining path overlapping was proposed. Machining characteristics of micro electrical discharge milling was investigated in considering of depth of cut and capacitance of discharge circuit. Micro complex shaped tools were also fabricated using REDM (reverse electrical discharge machining). Sacrificial electrodes were machined through electrical discharge milling process and were used as electrode to make micro tools. Using this process several micro tools shape of 'ㄷ', 'ㅁ' and 'o' were fabricated. With these complex shaped tools, micro machining was successfully applied repeatedly.

Recently, the trends of TFT-LCD are large scale and thin thickness, so, the demands of Light Guide Panel(LGP) which is able to substitute for prism sheets are appeared. Functions of LGP obtaining polarization of light of the prism sheet as well as the incidence and reflection of light are demanded. This prismless type LGP to complete functions of the existing LGP and polarization at once must be supported by micro machining technology of LGP surface. In this research, we have used the STAMPER method for the mass product and In-Line process, and the optimized conditions are established by analyzing the cutting force and conditions according to the material and processing properties when the prismless type LGP mold is fabricated. Parameters of the cutting condition were the workpiece and cutting depth.
