음극전기분해법을 이용하여 고강도 DP강과 TRIP강에 수소를 강제 주입시켜, 시험편 내 수소량을 정량적으로 분석하였고, 표면하 미소경도분포 측정과 소형펀치시험 및 파단면 관찰을 통하여 수소주입량에 따른 고강도 박강판재의 수소침투 및 수소취화거동을 평가하고자 하였다. DP강은 강도가 클수록 높은 수소량으로 조사되었고, TRIP강은 DP강에 비해 주입된 수소량이 적은 것으로 조사되었다. 또한 미소경도분포 및 소형펀치시험에서도 DP강은 TRIP강에 비해 수소취성에 민감성이 높은 것으로 평가되었다.

Stretch-flangeability, which is the ability of sheet steels to be deformed into complex shapes, is a critical formability property in automobile body parts. In this study, the center-hole for hole expansion test, which is normally used to evaluate the stretch-flangeability of sheet steels, was prepared by both punching and electrical discharge machining (EDM) methods. Hole expansion ratio (HER) of punched hole was far lower than the HER of EDM drilled hole because of damage/crack in hole-edge due to punching process. The effect of hole-edge condition on HER was quantified by mechanical, fractographic and geometric factors. Based on these factors, the empirical equation used to determine HER for various sheet steels was derived using non-linear regression.

The Fine Blanking process is an effective precision shearing process that can obtain a smooth cutting surface and high product precision through a single blanking process. It is widely used in various manufacturing fields. However, shearing through this fine blanking process is only intended to minimize burrs, die rolls and fracture surfaces and does not completely remove them. Therefore, it is necessary to study the minimization of burrs, die rolls and fracture surfaces in the fine blanking process. In this study, a study was conducted on the relationship between the fracture surface and process conditions that occurred during product production using the fine blanking process. For this purpose, the shape of the V-ring indenter, the distance to the punch, and the pressure force, clearance, shear rate, and physical properties of the material were selected as process and design variables, and the relationship with the fracture surface according to each process and design condition was tested. It was analyzed through the Experimental Design Method.

연속주조공정에서 용강의 통로, 산화방지 및 유체 흐름을 용이하게 하는 역할을 하는 다공성 노즐(porous nozzle)은 용강과의 직접적인 접촉으로 인한 화학 반응 및 용강의 침투현상을 방지하기 위해 불활성 가스를 주입하여 청정강을 제조하는데 이용된다. 공정 중 노즐 막힘으로 인한 배압상승과 열충격에 의한 크랙(crack) 발생이 문제되고 있으며 신뢰성 향상 연구가 요구되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기공크기와 기공분포가 고온안정성 및 내열충격성에 미치는 영향을 알아보고, 내구성 시험 및 고장분석을 통하여 노즐의 신뢰성 향상 방안을 고찰 하였다. 기공을 제어한 시편을 제조하여 기공분포에 따른 고온안정성을 확인하기 위해 실제 사용 조건인 용강온도($1550^{\circ}C$)와 보다 높은 온도($1700^{\circ}C$)에서 각각 고온 시험을 수행하였다. 열충격을 스트레스 인자로 한 내구성 시험을 수행한 후 고장원인을 분석하였으며 열화정도를 확인하기 위해 열처리 온도에 따른 차압 및 굽힘 강도 변화를 비교하였다. 또한 결정상 분석을 통해 온도에 대한 상변화를 확인하였고, 시편의 표면 및 파단면의 미세구조 분석을 통해 크랙 발생여부를 확인하였다. 다공성 노즐의 기공분포가 균일 할수록 고온안정성 및 내열충격성이 향상됨을 확인하였고, 이를 통해 Porous Nozzle의 열화원인으로 판단되는 기공 크기 및 분포에 따른 크랙 발생에 대해 열응력 고찰을 수행하였다.

Sterilization has received much attention in orthodontic practices over the past several years. The present study was undertaken to investigate the effects of sterilization on the physical properties of orthodontic pliers-AEZ, Unitek, and Dentronix ligature cutters. This study was designed to examine the tips of ligature cutters before and after 200 and 400 sterilization cycles using the Bowmar RHT-1000, the Dentronix DDS-5000, and the Eschmann SES-2000. The tip surface and the fracture surface were observed with a scanning electron microscope. The microstructure was observed with an optical microscope. The hardness test was carried out with the mic개-Vickers hardness tester and the Rockwell C Scale hardness tester. The chemical composition was analyzed by energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer. The results of this study were as follows : 1. The number and the size of corrosion products on the tip surface and the proportion of cleavage planes in fractured specimen increased, but the hardness of the tip decreased in proportion to sterilization cycles. From these observations, it was considered that mechanical properities decreased in proportion to sterilization cycles. 2. The number and the size of chromium carbides increased in proportion to sterilization cycles. Coarse microstructure decreased mechanical properities. 3. The AEZ and Unitek ligature cutters were Fe-Cr stainless steels, but the Dentronix ligature cutter was Co-Cr alloy. There were many differences among manufactures, but the chemical composition was .not changed after sterilization cycles. 4. The tip edge of ligature cutter used in a clinic revealed microcracks with the SEM observation. Clinical experience confirmed that ligature cutters were gradually degraded by sterilization.

The replacement criterion of rail by accumulated passing tonnage was estimated by the bending fatigue life of rail. In order to estimate the bending fatigue life, it is basically needed to analyze bending fatigue behavior on the rail. In this study, the bending fatigue test were performed for 50kg/m and 60kg/m rails, and test specimens were distinguished by new and used rails and by the types of welded rail such as base material, thermite weld, and gas pressure weld. Also, this study analyzed the fractured surface, the position of initial crack and the bending fatigue behavior (S-N curve). Therefore, it evaluated S-N curve for welded rails according to the fracture probability. The result from this study might be used essential data in order to estimate the bending fatigue life of rail by the accumulated passing tonnage.

The adhesive material was found for joining pottery fragments from Duurlig Nars, Mongolia estimated in AD 1C. In this study, analysis of natural substance for joining fragments of pottery was performed using gas chromatograph and mass spectrometer. As a result, it was identified triterpenoid substances, such as lupeol and betulin which were known to constituents of birch bark tar. It was suggested that Mongolian used adhesives made by birch bark tar for joining pottery fragments. Therefore if organic materials of ancient objects are systematically researched, it can provide significant evidence related to the way of life of ancient people.

The firing pin of modern automatic rifles detonates the primer of loaded ammunition via a hammer. During this process, the firing pin receives an impact load and repetitive force throughout the life of the rifle. An endurance test of a rifle showed that the firing pin breaks prematurely at 96.26% of life. Accordingly, a case study was conducted through cause analysis and a reconstruction test. Optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy of the broken surface of the firing pin showed that a crack began in the circumferential direction of the surface, resulting in a fatigue crack to the core after repeated impact. Crack growth and fatigue destruction occurred at the end due to the repetitive impact and was estimated using a notch. For verification, a sample that produced a 0.03mm circumferential notch was broken at 64.25% of life in the reconstruction test. A test of breakage according to the notch types showed that a 0.3mm and a 0.5mm one-side notch were broken at 66.53% and 50.76%, respectively, and a 0.03mm six-point notch was broken at 85.65%. The endurance life of a sample firing pin with a rough surface and tool mark was examined, but an approximately 381 ㎛ internal crack formed. Through this study, failure for each notch type was considered. These results show that quality control of the notch and surface roughness is essential for ensuring the reliability of a component subjected to repeated impact.

To produce a strengthened glass, single ion exchange properties such as three-point bend strength and residual stress were investigated in soda-lime-silicate substrate glass for display use. The present work showed that the maximum value of strength was 62.5${\times}$10$\sub$6/ kg/㎡ after, the two-step single ion exchange process at 470$^{\circ}C$ for 1 h and 450$^{\circ}C$ for 24 h. As the result of the fracture analysis after bending test, the residual stress on the fractured surface of the strengthened glass increased the flexibility by means of absorbing the elastic deformation energy in the glass. Also, the effects of absorbing the elastic deformation energy were analysed by curvature change, number of multiple crack branches and brittleness.
