Applicability of laser micro welding process to the fabrication of medical devices was investigated. Austenitic stainless steel wire (SUS304) was spot melted and crosswise welded, which is one of the most possible welding process for the fabrication of medical devices, by using a Nd-YAG laser. Effects of welding parameters on the microstructure, tensile strength and corrosion resistance were discussed. In the spot melting, melted metal width decreased with decreasing the input energy and pulse duration. Controlling the laser wave to reduce laser noise which occurred in the early stage of laser irradiation made reasonable welding condition wider in the welding condition of small pulse duration such as 2ms. The microstructure of the melted metal was a cellular dendrite structure and the cell size of the weld metal was about 0.5~3.5 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Tensile strength increased with the decrease of the melted metal width and reached to a maximum about 660MPa, which is comparable with that for the tempered base metal. Even by immersion test at 318K for 3600ks in quasi biological environment (0.9% NaCl), microstructure of the melted metal and tensile strength hardly changed from those for as melted material. In the crosswise welding, joints morphologies were classified into 3 types by the melting state of lower wire. Fracture load increased with input energy and melted area of lower wire, and reached to a maximum about 80N. However, when input energy was further increased and lower wire was fully melted, fracture load decreased due to the burn out of weld metal.

Selective laser melting (SLM) is emerged as a new manufacturing technique to directly fabricate precise parts using metallic materials. The final characteristics of a component fabricated through the SLM process are strongly dependent upon various parameters such as laser power, scan rate and pulse duration, etc. This paper, therefore, focuses on the dimensional characteristics of melted $20{\mu}m$ Fe-Cr-Ni powder by fiber laser for the selective laser melting process. With energy density decrease, the height and depth were decreased. Although the conditions are of the same energy density, the shape is different by laser power and scan rate. The shapes at various laser parameters were divided into 3 groups based on depth over height. The smooth regular shape is obtained under the conditions of $50{\mu}m$ of powder height and $15-20{\mu}s$ of pulse duration. And the laser power influenced the variation of shape more significantly than the scan rate.

The objective of this paper is to investigate the effects of the laser power, the material thickness, comer angles, and the loop size on the formation of the comer in the cutting of Inconel 718 super-alloy sheet using high-power CW Nd: YAG laser. In order to investigate the influence of comer angles and loop sizes on the melted area and the formation of comer in the sharp comer, angular cutting tests and loop cutting tests were carried out. The results of the angular cutting tests were shown that the melted area is minimized and the melting mode is changed from nose melting in the thickness direction to the secondary melting induced by the attached dross when the comer angle is $90^{\circ}$. Through the results of loop cutting tests, the variation of the melted area and the comer shape in the sharp comer according to the loop size were examined. In addition, it was shown that a proper loop size is approximately 3 mm. The results of above experiments will be reflected on the knowledge base to generate optimal cutting path of the laser.

본 연구에서는 전기기기 및 가전기기 등의 배선으로 사용되는 비닐코드의 구조 및 특성을 제시하고, 에너지원의 종류에 따라 소손된 비닐평형코드(VFF, $1.25mm^2$)의 실체 사진 및 용융된 도체의 금속 단면 구조를 분석하였다. 정상 VFF는 소선 여러 가닥을 꼬아서 제작되었으며, 도체의 표면은 적갈색이다. 또한 도체의 금속 조직 분석에서 그레인이 연신된 것을 알 수 있었다. 일반 화염에 의해 소손된 VFF의 표면은 절연물이 탄화되어 도체의 표면에 융착되었고, 윤기가 없는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 용융 부분의 단면 구조 분석에서 일정한 모양의 보이드가 형성되었고, 전선 고유의 연신 구조는 확인할 수 없었다. 통전중인 VFF에 외부 화염이 인가되어 소손된 용융 도체의 단면 분석에서 전선 고유의 연신 구조는 없었고, 불규칙적인 보이드 및 주상 조직 등이 성장한 것을 알 수 있었다. 과전류에 의해 소손된 VFF는 표면이 고르게 탄화되었으며, 용융된 도체의 단면 구조 분석에서 수지상 조직의 성장이 확인되었다. 단락에 의해 용융된 VFF의 특성 분석에서 표면의 일부가 오염되었지만 약간의 윤기가 있고, 용융되어 재결합한 부분이 둥근 모양을 나타냈다. 또한 금속 현미경을 이용한 단면 구조 분석에서 경계면 및 주상 조직 등이 확인되었고, 용융된 도체 이외의 부분에서는 정상 구리와 같은 비정질체인 구조가 확인되었다.

We studied the characteristics and fabricated the plano-convex refractive microlenses using the thermal reflow method. The exposed resist was resolved in a standard developing process. The remaining resist of circle pattern was melted in an oven 12$0^{\circ}C$ to 15$0^{\circ}C$. The shape of the melted resist microlenses is ruled by surface tension. Diameter and hight of the fabricated microlenses were 250${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ to 325${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and 15${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ to 22${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, respectively. The surface profile was calculated using data curve-fitting method with circle equation. The optical characteristics was analysed using optical simulation program.

Due to the high usage of ABS in industries, such as aerospace, auto, recreational devices, boat, submarines, etc., the purpose of this project was to find a way to weld this material, which gives advantages, such as affordable, high speed, and good connection quality. In this experimental project, the friction welding method was applied with parameters such as numerical control (NC) machine with two different speeds and three cross-sections, including a flat surface, cone, and step. After the end of the welding process, samples were then applied for both tensile and bending tests of materials, and the results showed that, with increasing the machining velocity Considering of samples, the friction of the surface increased and then caused to increase in the surface temperature. Considering mentioned contents, the melting temperature of composite materials increased. This can give a chance to have a better combination of Nanomaterial to base melted materials. Thus, the result showed that, with increasing the weight percentage (wt %) of Nanomaterials contents, and machining velocity, the mechanical behavior of welded area for all three types of samples were just increased. This enhancement is due to the better melting process on the welded area of different Nano contents; also, the results showed that the shape of the welding area could play a significant role, and by changing the shape, the results also changed drastically.A better shape for the welding process was dedicated to the step surface.

$Bi_2Sr_2Ca_1Cu_2O_x$(BSCCO 2212) superconductors for current lead were fabricated by centrifugal melting process(CMP). BSCCO 2212 powder was melted at $1200^{\circ}\C$ in a resistance furnace using a Pt crucible and poured in a rotating cylindrical mold preheated at $550^{\circ}\C$ for 2 hour. The solidified BSCCO-2212 samples were heat-treated by partial melting process in oxygen atmosphere. The current-voltage curves at 77 K of the samples were obtained by transport measurement, and the microstructure was investigated by scanning electron microscope. The $J_c$ values at 77 K of the tubes partially melted at $840^{\circ}C,\;860^{\circ}C\;and\;880^{\circ}C$ were 492, 430 and 398 $A/cm^2$, respectively. It was observed that the plate-like grains in BSCCO 2212 tube was more developed in the sample heat-treated at $840^{\circ}C$. It was found that the critical current of the BSCCO 2212 samples was dependent on the partial melting schedule regarding the grain shape and size of the BSCCO 2212.

정밀하고 복잡한 형상의 금속 부품을 제작하는데 사용되는 정밀주조법은 왁스형을 만드는 과정을 수작업으로 진행하므로 많은 시간과 비용이 소요되었다. 왁스형 제작공정을 개선하기 위해 쾌속조형기를 이용하는 방법을 제안하였다. SLS 형 쾌속조형기를 이용하여 캐스트폼형을 제작하고 여기에 용융된 왁스를 함침시켜 왁스형을 완성한다. 이 방법을 이용하여 스텐레스 스틸 소재의 금속 주분을 제작하였는데, 시간과 비용이 크게 절감되었으며 정밀도도 향상되었다.

직류 ESR(Electro Slag Remelting)장치를 이용하여 타이타늄 스크랩의 재용해 및 정련에 관한 기초연구를 수행하였다. 비소모성 양극으로는 흑연봉을, 슬래그로는 $CaF_2-TiO_2$계를 사용하였다. 재용해한 타이타늄 잉곳의 형상 및 산소 함량에 미치는 슬래그 조성의 영향을 검토하였다. $CaF_2-TiO_2$계 슬래그에서는 잉곳 내부에 슬래그의 혼입이 없는 매우 양호한 형상의 타이타늄 잉곳이 형성되었으며, 산소 함량도 타이타늄스크랩보다 낮은 값을 나타내었다. $CaF_2-TiO_2$계 슬래그에 CaO를 첨가한 경우 잉곳 내부에 슬래그가 혼입되었으며, 산소 농도도 Ti 스크랩 보다 높은 값을 나타내었다.

The TiC-(Ni/Ti) composites were prepared by reaction bonding between TiC preforms and the melted mixture of Ni/Ti metal the atomic ratio of which were the ranges of 0.3 to 3. And their microstructures phase composi-tions and mechanical properties were investigated. During reaction bonding Ni/Ti metal mixture had a good wettability an permeability with TiC preforms and pore-free and fully dense sintered bodies were fabricated. TiC particle shape changed from spherical to angular platelet-like and grain size was grown with Ni/Ti atomic ratio increasing from 0.3 to 1. whereas grain growth of TiC particle was restrained and its shape changed gain from angular platelet-like to spherical when Ni/Ti atomic ratio was more than 2. Maximum bending strength and fracture toughness were obtained at the Ni/Ti atomic ratio being 1 their values were 582 MPa and 11.1 MPa.m1/2 respectively.
