과산화물 가교제의 농도가 헬리콥터 연료탱크의 자기밀폐층 소재로 적용시키기 위한 천연고무 스폰지의 팽윤에 미치는 효과를 조사하였다. 천연고무 콤파운드를 Kneader와 Roll-Mill을 활용하여 제조하고, 고압조건의 프레스에서 부분 가교시킨 후 대기압의 금형에서 발포와 완전가교를 실시하였다. 얻어진 스폰지의 겉보기밀도를 측정하고 스폰지의 셀구조를 주사전자현미경을 통하여 관찰하였다. 톨루엔, 이소옥탄과 항공유를 사용하여 실온에서 팽윤실험을 실시하였다. 용매에 2분 동안 침적 후 얻어지는 부피팽윤비 값은 과산화물 농도가 감소함에 따라 증가하다가 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 스폰지의 겉보기밀도와 셀구조는 과산화물 함량에 매우 민감하였으며 이는 또한 천연고무 스폰지의 팽윤거동에 영향을 미쳤다. 천연고무 스폰지가 연료와 접촉하여 신속한 팽윤이 얻어지기 위하여 금형에서 동시에 발생하는 두 가지 반응인 발포제의 분해반응과 천연고무의 가교반응을 적절히 조절하는 것이 중요하다.

The study has been performed for the relation between die and product in closed die upsetting by the experiment. the strain of die has been given by the simple experiment using the strain gauge located at the outer surface of die and the deformation history of die and product has been given by the experiment and Lame's formula. the product with accurate dimension and shape can be obtained by analysing elastic deformation of die during upsetting process. The deformation of die during metal forming process has been given by the experiment and lame's formula. The product with accurate dimension and shape can be obtained by analysing elastic deformation of die during upsetting process. The deformation of die during metal forming process has been usually predicted by the experience of industrial engineers of finite element analysis. But it is difficult to predict the dimension of product at unloading and ejected states. The study has given useful result for the deformation history of die and product through the experiment and Lame's formula at closed die upsetting and can be applied in the die design for product with accurate dimension.

Scroll compressors are widely used in air conditioning systems and in automobiles due to their low pressure loss, minimal vibrations, and light-weight. Open-die forging with back pressure is used to forge the rotating scroll, and it requires special care since the forging die can be severely damaged at the fixed end of the spiral cavity similar to a fracture of a cantilever beam. To overcome the inevitable weakness of the forging die due to such damage, an innovative design is necessary. In this study, structural analysis using the finite element method was conducted to determine the reason for the fracture of the forging die. A novel design to avoid stress concentrations and vertical deflection, causing serious damage to the die, is suggested.

The effects of the type of curing agent on the swelling of the natural rubber(NR) sponge applicable to the self-sealing layer of a helicopter fuel tank were investigated. The curing systems employed were peroxide and mixed ones of sulfur and peroxide. The NR compounds were prepared in a kneader and a roll-mill. The compounds were partially cured in a press at high pressure and subsequently cured fully with expansion in another press at atmospheric pressure. The apparent density of the NR sponge was measured and the cell structure was observed with scanning electron microscopy. The swelling experiments were performed at room temperature using toluene, iso-octane, and an aircraft fuel as a solvent. More rapid volume swelling of the NR sponge cured by peroxide was achieved than cured by sulfur and peroxide with similar amount of curing agent added in rubber compounds. The apparent density and cell structure of the sponge were extremely sensitive to the amount of peroxide, which influences again the swelling behavior of the NR sponge. It is important to control properly two reactions of decomposition of foaming agent and crosslinking of NR in the mold to obtain rapid swelling of the NR sponge on contact of the fuel.

In this study, finite element analyses were performed by applying a stress ring and split die design to relieve the tensile stress acting on the die due to high surface pressure during warm-closed forging. The applied material was a yield-ratio-control-steel (YRCS). It was used without quenching or tempering after forging. In the case of stress rings design, the number of stress rings and the tolerance for shrink fit were different. Vertical and horizontal splits were applied for insert die split design. Case 5 die with three stress rings, 0.2 % shrink fit tolerance, and vertical split was selected as an effective die design for tensile stress reduction. Based on die stress reduction analyses, Case 5 die for warm-closed forging was produced and smooth forgeability was secured, making it possible to manufacture forging product of yoke with the required geometry. In addition, controlled cooling using warm forging heat was applied to secure mechanical properties of yokes. When oil cooling was used for direct controlled cooling after warm-closed forging, a relatively uniform Rockwell hardness distribution and high mechanical properties could be obtained.
