Equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) is one of the effective methods to produce bulk-nano materials by accumulating plastic strain into the workpiece without changing its cross-sectional shape in the multi-pass processing. However, the forming load becomes higher for manufacturing large specimens using conventional solid or split dies because of friction, flash formation, and usage of dummy specimen. In the present investigation, better split die was designed to reduce the forming loads and improve the geometrical accuracy of the specimen in the multi-pass ECAP. The new die exit channel was also designed to reduce the friction effect. Experiments with AA1050 specimens with a square cross-section were carried out to examine the design goal using the proposed split dies for routes A and C up to four passes. The numerical forming simulations were used to determine the effective geometry of various die models in the present work.

In the process of warm forging, billet is heated up to $800^{\circ}C$ and located in the upper part of die block impression. The scattered oxidized scale may cause workers burn and shortening of die life sticking to the die block impression. The separating materials sprayed in die block cause harmful dust, harmful mist, fume, and bad odor which contaminate workshop environment. The process is classified as one of the avoided jobs and make the planned output achievement difficult. Development of an elimination device to clear out the contaminating materials in the workshop and improvement of the unsatisfactory maintenance method to fix the abrasion of die block impression which delays the dead line, cost increases needs to be developed. In this research, I tried to solve the problems caused in warm forging of bronze pipe joint such as the billet heating process, die maintenance, and manufacturing cost through improvement of warming forging manufacturing method and die maintenance method and eliminating harmful gas which will make the workshop more environment friendly.

SOFC는 높은 반응온도($600{\sim}1000^{\circ}C$)에서 작동되어 발전효율이 높고 다양한 연료를 사용할 수 있는 것이 장점이다. 하지만 고온에서의 운전은 구성요소의 열변형과 온도구배에 의한 전극촉매의 열화 그리고 밀봉재의 수명에 영향을 주어 결국 스택의 내구성을 감소시킨다. 특히 스택의 온도구배가 심화되면 국부적인 Hot spot를 형성하여 셀에 심각한 손상을 주게 된다. 본 과제에서는 SOFC 스택의 온도구배를 완화시키기 위한 내부개질기의 개발 및 고온용 분리판 소재의 정밀성형기술을 확보하고자 한다. 열/유동해석을 통하여 반응가스의 농도, 유속, 구조변경 등 내부개질기 온도구배에 대한 주요인자를 확인하였고, 장기 운전평가를 통하여 개질 촉매의 고온 활성 및 내구성에 대한 성능평가를 진행 중이다. 분리판의 경우, 고온용 소재(페라이트계 스테인레스)에 대한 기초실험을 실시하여 성형품질의 주요 인자를 파악하였으며 Proto-type 금형 설계 및 개발을 통하여 성형 기초기술을 확보하였다. 그리고 스택 내부온도를 구현할 수 있는 시뮬레이터를 설계 중에 있으며 이를 이용하여 개발된 내부개질기 및 분리판을 스택 운전환경에서 평가할 예정이다.

vortex tube는 간단한 구조의 관을 이용하여 어떠한 화학작용이나 연소작용 없이 압축유체를 저온 및 고온부분으로 분리하는 에너지 분리장치이다. 금속학자 Georges Joseph Ranque에 의해 vortex tube의 에너지분리 현상이 발견된 후 vortex tube는 공작기계에 의한 금속가공에 있어서 가공물의 열변형을 막기 위한 국소냉각, 금형제품의 급속냉각 또는 냉각복(air cooling jacket)에 사용하거나 공기공급식 호흡보호구의 공기공급시스템에 많이 활용되고 있다. vortex tube를 이용한 냉각복 및 호흡보호구는 소형, 경량으로서 근로자의 직접적인 조작이 간단하고, 열기가 신체에 직접적으로 닿지 않아 안전하고, 냉각효율이 높을 뿐만 아니라 매우 경제적이어서 그 이용률이 점차 확대될 전망이다.

Existing measurement methods using microscopes or surface roughness measurement instruments for surface control in manufacturing die are low in their efficiency when they are applied in industrial fields due to structural problems. Therefore, it is very important to develop a measurement and analysis system which can enhance efficiency in the measurement of different-sized manufacturing dies and provide quality control regardless of location. This study aimed at the development of a portable surface measurement system to satisfy this need. This measurement system was designed and manufactured in such a way as to divide it into three parts: the Base, the Body, and the Optical system. As a result of testing the system, the surface roughness was measured with an accuracy between 94.9 and 99.9%, and the deviation in the measurement value of a circle was within $2{\mu}m$.

We developed the stamper structured mold with moving core type with nano pattern. Among the factors affecting the quality of injection molding plastic parts, We studied the effects of moving core surface heating method on the transcription of injection molding plastic parts with nano structures. Moving core surface heating has been tested by three different methods. The first was conventional injection molding process without heating moving core surface, the second was halogen lamp radiation heating process and the last was MmSH process using gas flame. As a result of making injection molded parts by using thermoplastic amorphous resins such as COC, PMMA, MmSH method which is the most high temperature of moving core surface showed the best nano pattern transcription of the three methods, but the outcome of conventional injection molding process was not better than others.

This study presents the blow molding of injection stretch-blow molding process for PET bottle. The numerical analysis of the blow molding of PET bottle is considered in this paper using CAE with a view to minimize the thickness difference. In order to determine the design parameters and processing conditions in blow molding, it is very important to establish the numerical model with physical phenomenon. In this study, a shell model with thickness has been introduced for the purpose and blow simulations with 3-type blow process condition are carried out. The simulations resulted in the thickness distribution in good agreement with the physical phenomenon. Also, from the result of numerical analysis, we appropriately predicted the thickness distribution along the PET bottle wall and Using the result of numerical analysis we apply the preform design and blow molding process condition for optimization.

To automate the polishing process, a polishing robot with two axes which is attached to a machining center with three axes has been developed by our previous research. This automatic polishing robot is able to keep the polishing tool normal to the curved surface of die and is able to maintain a constant pneumatic pressure. Therefore, in the case of a curved surface die, the surface roughness to be polished by the system with five axes is improved superior than the surface by a three-axis machining center. However, because the polishing robot was big and heavy, a polishing workspace was limited and then it was difficult to attach the robot to machining center. In this study, the smaller and lighter polishing robot than the previous has been designed to improve defects due to the magnitude and weight of the robot. And the sliding mode control ins applied to polishing robot to improve the tracking performance. To obtain switching parameters of sliding mode control, the signal compression method is used. Code separation program to separate the date for a three-axis machining center and a two-axis polishing robot from a five-axis NC data is improved for users to check conveniently the separated trajectory and to handle many data by using the graphic user interface. To evaluate the polishing performance of the developed robot, the polishing experiment for shadow mask was carried out. The result shows the automatic polishing robot has a good trajectory tracking performance and obtains a good polished workpiece efficiently under recommended polishing conditions.
