Fine grained superplastic Zn-22%Al alloy was extruded using a laser machined micro-die to produce a micro-gear shaft. Extrusion process was conducted under a constant pressure at constant temperatures ranging from 503 to 563K. Laser machining was capable to machine a micro-die with close tolerances and adequate surface quality. The extrusion rate increased with extrusion load under constant extrusion temperature. The rate reached a steady state and became constant after a certain period. There was a small instantaneous stroke on application of the load and then a very brief primary stage which preceded steady-state flow. The micro-extrusion process was proven to produce a micro-gear shaft successfully using a fine grained superplastic Zn-22%Al alloy.

This paper describes the forming of fine gear housing using RP system. In order to apply 3D model formed through CAD software to RP system, it is necessary of transforming 3D model into STL file format. Besides, when the same shape is formed repetitively, we must solve the program that the shape accuracy of prototype is irregular. Therefore, we will make an experiment on influence of 3D model, file transformation and prototype on facetres, AutoCAD system value. On the basis of experimental result, we will develop an automatic file transformation program for RP. In the final process, we will manufacture on a better prototype according to the experiment result of fine gear housing.

Typically nondestructive inspection methods of the large gear units are applied to penetrate non-destructive inspection. Nondestructive penetrating inspection put into the small openings of the defect to penetration liquid, remove to excess penetration liquid on the surface of the gear units, spread with developing solution and we can find the small defect by coating with penetration liquid. However, this method has so many issues because of penetrate nondestructive tests on the gear assembly. The steep angle of screw is hard to achieved full penetration and has the problem to remove the excess. In contrast, the magnetic nondestructive inspection is easy to detect subsurface defects and subtle defects. According to the inspection results the stress concentrates in gear surface, some internal defects and microscopic flaws exist on the gear units are not found to penetrate the nondestructive inspection, but magnetic nondestructive inspection could have found many defect. Therefore, a reasonable method of nondestructive inspection for the large gear units is suitable to magnetic nondestructive inspection.

현재의 핫 엠보싱 기술은 나노/마이크로 패턴의 복제 기술로 다방면에서 연구되어지고 있다. 기존에 알려진 핫 엠보싱 기술은 하드 몰드를 사용하여 열과 압력을 가해서 PR 패턴 제작이나 나노/마이크로 구조물을 제작하였다. 그러나 이러한 하드 몰드의 사용은 3차원 구조물을 구현할 수 없다는 단점이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 하드 몰드 대신 소프트 몰드를 사용하여 3차원 미세 구조물을 구현해 보고자 한다.(중략)

In this paper, new replication techniques fur a metal microcomponent having a real 3D shape were introduced. Helical gear was selected as one of a real 3D microcomponents for this study. The helical gear, which was made of photo-curable resin, was fabricated as a master pattern by microstereolithography technology. Then, a silicone rubber mold was fabricated from the master pattern. Lastly, a final bismuth alloy pattern was transferred from the silicone rubber mold by the microcasting process. In this paper, the replication technique is described in detail from the master pattern to the final pattern with some investigation on factors related to the technique.

In the machining processes, the tool chipping are known to be the most dangerous when the variation of end of tool edges is largest. Therefore, chipping has been caused by the stress distribution in the moment of cutting. In this study, in order to predict the shapes of tool chipping with the tool shapes and the cutting conditions, the premier chipping shapes of involute cutter iss predicted by the stress distribution value of cutting edges and it is verified by the experiments. The growth behavior of the tool chipping is considered through the experiment of gear cutting and in case of evaluation of specific cutting energy in the proper machining conditions through the simulation result, it can be known that the prediction of cutting force is possible accurately.

In this paper, a new replication technique for a real 3D microstructure was introduced, in which a master Pattern WES made of photo-curable epoxy using a microstereolithography technology, and then it was transferred onto an epoxy-copper particle composite. A helical gear was selected as one of the real 3D microstructure for this study, and it was replicated from a pure epoxy to an epoxy composite. In addition, the transferability of the microreplication process was evaluated, and the properties of :he epoxy composite were compared to that of the pure epoxy, including hardness, wear-resistance and thermal conductivity.

This paper was designed to fabricate the miniature spur gear with pitch circle of 1.8 by hot extrusion process of mechanically alloyed Zn-22wt%Al powder at various temperature. The mechanical alloying was preformed for ball milled times of 8h, 16h and 32h by the planetary ball milling. Mechanically alloyed powders were compacted cylindrical performs. Extrusions of the miniature spur gear using the alloyed powder were carried out at different extrusion temperatures. The extruded spur gear was sintered for 2h at $350^{\circ}C$ in argon atmosphere. The friction between the die and the powdered billet and the internally different density due to complex product shape cause the internal crack. To overcome the mentioned problems, high dimensional accuracy at cross section of the spur gear and uniform Vickers hardness could be obtained by graphite lubricant and controlling holding time.

정밀가공기계 및 소음발생원의 방진재료로서 사용될 수 있는 재료는 우선 내부 및 외부진동의 흡수성과 감쇠성이 뛰어나야 하고, 시간 및 온도변화에 따라 형상 및 치수 정밀도가 안정되어야 하며, 불규칙한 외력과 운동전달기구의 변동 하중 하에서도 높은 정적, 동적 강성을 유지해야 한다. 본 연구에서 개발한 재료인 Ferrite-Resin 복합재료는 Resin-Concrete에 미세한 산화철을 filler 재료로 사용함으로써 주철 및 강의 구조재료가 갖는 강성과 비중의 값에 접근시킬 수이었다. 일반적으로 불포화 폴리에스테르 수지나 에폭시계 수지는 glass 전위점의 근처에서 진동에너지의 흡수가 큰 영역이 존재하며 이는 10 .mu.m 이내의 미세한 filler재료가 포함되었을 경우에도 그 종류에 관계없이 큰 변화가 없는 성질이다. 시험편을 통한 재료실험을 통하여 개발된 복합재료를 모델 구조물에 적용시킴으로서 그 적용성을 검토하였다. 앞으로의 수지와 Ferrite 함유량 및 제조 공정이 적절히 모색되면, 이 방진재료가 정밀기계의 구조재료로서 뿐만 아니라 냉동기, 소형선박의 기관실, 가전제품 및 기어박스 등의 케이싱 재료로 사용되는 방진재료로서 그 응용이 확대될 수 있을 것으로 본다.

In the study, we described on the 3D solid model be made on the AutoCAD haved an effect on the deviation of form as RP manufactures the facetres. The STL file improved the deviation of form as the facetres value but the deviation of form have the difference a little as the RP system. In result, we ruled the correlation with the 3D solid model and the RP sample manufacturing, with manufacture RP sample according to facetres value in complex shape. And we developed the program which recombination the STL file that we make use of the AutoLISP.
