The conventional method of magnetic abrasive polishing is not suitable for non-magnetic materials because such polishing is basically possible when magnetic force exists and the magnetic force in non-magnetic materials is very low. The installation of an electromagnet under the working area of a non-magnetic material, which is called second-generation magnetic abrasive polishing in this study, can enhance the magnetic force. Experimental evaluation and optimization of process parameters for polishing magnesium alloy steel was performed by adopting the design of experiments and the response surface method. The results indicated that the intensity of the magnetic force and spindle speed are significant parameters that affect the improvement of surface roughness. A prediction model for the surface roughness of the magnesium alloy steel is developed using the second-order response surface method.

화학적 기계연마 공정(CMP)은 반도체 웨이퍼를 수 천$\AA$m/min의 MRR로 2$\mu\textrm{m}$ 이내의 W(Total Thickness Variable) 조건을 만족시키는 초정밀 광역 평탄화 기술이다. 일반적인 CMP 방법은 서로 다른 회전 중심을 갖고 동일한 방향으로 회전하는 웨이퍼와 다공성 패드 사이에 연마액인 슬러리를 넣어 연마하는 것이다. CMP 공정기술은 1990년 대 중반에 개발되었으나, 아직까지 연마 메커니즘이 완벽하게 밝혀지지 않았다. 따라서 장비를 최적화하기 위해 실험에 의존적일 수밖에 없으나, 이러한 방법은 막대한 자금과 노력뿐만 아니라 상당한 시간을 필요로 하기 때문에, 앞으로 가속될 연마대상 재료의 변화 및 다양한 속도에 발맞출 수 없다.(중략)

Waterjet has been comprehensively used in urban areas owing to a suitable technique for cutting concrete and rock, and low noise and vibration. Recently, the abrasive waterjet technique has been adopted and applied by the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute to demolish concrete plugging without disturbing and damaging In-situ Demonstration of Engineered Barrier System in the disposal research tunnel. In this study, the use of abrasive waterjet in the tunnel was evaluated for practical applicability and the existing cutting model was compared with the experimental results. As a variable for waterjet cutting, multi-cutting, water flow rate, abrasive flow rate, and standoff distance were selected for the diversity of analysis. As regarding the practical application, the waterjet facilitated path selection for cutting the concrete plugging and prevented additional disturbances in the periphery. The pump's noise at idling was 64.9 dB which is satisfied with the noise regulatory standard, but it exceeded the standard at ejection to air and target concrete because the experiment was performed in the tunnel space. The experimental result showed that the error between the predicted and measured cutting volume was 12~13% for the first cut and 16% for second cut. The standoff distance had a significant influence on the cutting depth and width, and the error tended to decrease with decrement of standoff distance.

This paper describes the development of new sweeping machine based on Cyclone Technology, which maintains constant suction power and uses it in a industrial applications as a method for dust removed from grinding work. The performance of a cyclone separator is determined by the turbulence characteristics and particle-particle interaction. To achieve this goal, we design cyclone technology based dust separator for sweeping machine has been proposed as a system which is suitable to work utilizing dust suction alternative to conventional manual system. and Numerical analysis with computational fluid dynamics(CFD) was carried out to investigate the working fluid that flow into cyclone dust separator in order to design optimal structure of the sweeping machine. The validation of cyclone model with CFD is carried out by comparing with experimental results.

Tribological properties of a Magneto-Rheological(MR) fluid in a polishing process are studied. For this polishing process, abrasive wear model is proposed as a function of shear force, normal force and actual mean velocity of MR particles at workpiece surface. Experimental conditions are changed by varying the gap distance between workpiece and tool and the rotational speed of tool. From the experimental results, a modified Stribeck curve is obtained, and the friction coefficient turns out to have linear relationship with a modified Sommerfeld number. The validity of the wear model is supported by additional experiments performed for measuring material removal rates.

The recovery of stainless steel fiber by removing cutting oil from grinding swarf, which is classified as specified wastes, was investigated. Swarf loaded with grinding oil was regenerated by supercritical carbon dioxide. And, the effects of temperature(313.15K-323.15K), pressure(10MPa-30MPa) on regeneration efficiency were studied. Regeneration effiency was increased as the pressure was increased. Also, at the same pressure, the experiments at higher temperature were more efficient for regeneration. The experiment results was predicted by applying a one-parameter mathematical model assuming linear desorption kinetics. The predicted value showed good agreement with experimental data.

Optics fabrication process for precision space optical parts includes bound abrasive grinding, loose abrasive lapping and polishing. The traditional bound abrasive grinding with bronze bond cupped diamond wheel leaves the machine marks of about $20{mu}m$ rms in height and the subsurface damage of about 1 ${mu}m$ rms in height to be removed by subsequent loose abrasive lapping. We explored an efficient quantitative control of precision CNC grinding. The machining parameters such as grain size, work-piece rotation speed and feed rate were altered while grinding the work-piece surfaces of 20-100 mm in diameter. The input grinding variables and the resulting surface quality data were used to build grinding prediction models using empirical and multi-variable regression analysis. The effectiveness of such grinding prediction models was then examined by running a series of precision CNC grinding operation with a set of controlled input variables and predicted output surface quality indicators. The experiment achieved the predictability down to ${pm}20$ nm in height and the surface roughness down to 36 nm in height. This study contributed to improvement of the process efficiency reaching directly the polishing and figuring process without the need for the loose abrasive lapping stage.

This paper presents the system modeling, analysis, and controller design and implementation with a inverted pendulum system in order to test robust algorithm for sweeping machine. The balancing of an inverted pendulum by moving pendulum robot like as 'segway' along a horizontal track is a classic problem in the area of control. This paper will describe two methods to swing a pendulum attached to a cart from an initial downwards position to an upright position and maintain that state. The results of real experiment show that the proposed control system has superior performance for following a reference command at certain initial conditions.
