Residual stresses are introduced in aluminum cylinder head during quenching at the end of the T6 heat treatment process. Tensile residual stress resulted from quenching is detrimental to fatigue behavior of a cylinder head when it is overlapped with stresses of engine operation load. Quenching simulation has been performed to assess the distribution of residual stress in the cylinder head. Analysis revealed that in-homogeneous temperature distribution led to high tensile residual stress at the foot of the long intake port, where high stresses of engine operation load are expected. Measurements of residual stress have been followed and compared with the calculated results. Results successfully proved that high tensile residual stress, which was large enough to accelerate fatigue failure of the cylinder head, are formed during quenching process at the end of heat treatment at the same critical position. Effect of quenching parameters on the distribution of residual stress in cylinder head has been investigated by choosing different combination of heat treatment parameters. It was demonstrated that changes of quenching parameters led to more homogeneous temperature distribution during cooling and could reduce tensile residual stress at the critical region of the cylinder head used in this study.

Hot stamping is widely used to manufacture structural parts to satisfy requirements of eco-friendly vehicles. Recently, hot forming technology using uncoated steel sheet is being studied to reduce cost and solve patent problems. In particular, research is focused on process technology capable of suppressing the generation of an oxide layer. To evaluate the oxide layer in the hot stamping process, Gleeble testing machine can be used to evaluate the oxide layer by controlling the temperature history and the atmosphere condition. At this time, since cooling by gas injection is impossible to protect the oxide layer on the surface of a specimen, research on a method for securing a quenching speed through natural cooling is required. This paper proposes a specimen shape design method to secure a target quenching speed through natural cooling when evaluating the oxide layer of an un-coated boron steel sheet by Gleeble test. For the evaluation of the oxide layer of the un-coated steel sheet through the Gleeble test, dog-bone and rectangular type specimens were used. In consideration of the hot stamping process, the temperature control conditions for the Gleeble test were set and the quenching speed according to the specimen shape design was measured. Finally, the quenching speed sensitivity according to shape parameter was analyzed through regression analysis. A quenching speed prediction equation was then constructed according to the shape of the specimen. The constructed quenching speed prediction equation can be used as a specimen design guideline to secure a target quenching speed when evaluating the oxide layer of an un-coated boron steel sheet by the Gleeble test.

Temperature distribution, transformation and residual stresses generated during the quenching process of carbon steel. It follows many difficulties in the analytical considerations on those quenching process because of the coupling effects on temperature and metallic structures. In this paper one of the basic study on the quenching stresses was carried out for the case of the round steel bar specimen(SM45C) with 40mm both in its diameter and length. The temperature distributions considering strain hysteresis were numerically calculated by finite element technique. In calculating the transient temperature field, the heat flux between water and rod surface was determined from the heat transfer coefficient. The gradient of temperature is almost same to geometric of specimen. At early stage of the quenching process, the abrupt temperature gradient has been shown in the surface of the specimen.

Direct water quenching technique can be used in hot stamping process to obtain higher cooling rate compared to that of the normal die cooling method. In the direct water quenching process, setting proper water flow rate in consideration of material thickness and the size of the area directly cooled in the component is important to ensure uniform microstructure and mechanical properties. In this study, to derive proper water flow rate conditions that can achieve uniform microstructure and mechanical properties, microstructure and hardness distribution in various water flow rate conditions are measured for 3.2 mm thick boron steel sheet. Hardness distribution is uniform under the flow condition of 1.5 L/min or higher. However, due to the lower cooling rate in that area, the lower flow conditions result in a drastic decrease in hardness in some areas in the hot-stamped part, resulting in low martensite fraction. From these results, it is found that the selection of proper water flow rate is an important factor in hot stamping with direct water quenching process to ensure uniform mechanical properties.

새로운 상용성 조절 기법인 compositional quenching 공정을 이용하여 LDPE(Low-density polyethylene)/LLDPE(Linear low-density polyethylene) 블렌드를 제조하고, 기존의 mechanical blending과 solution blending 방법으로 제조한 블렌드와 물성 등을 비교 고찰하였다. DSC thermogram에서는 $T_m$ peak와 $T_c$ peak가 세 가지 블렌드 방법에 따라 변하였다. Compositional quenching 공정에 의한 블렌드의 열적 성질은 solution blending에 의한 블렌드와 거의 유사하였으나 mechanical blending에 의한 블렌드와는 서로 다른 경향을 보였다. 이러한 결과는 matrix 내에 분산된 domain 크기에 의한 것으로 생각된다. 인장실험에서는 compositional quenching 공정과 solution blending에 의한 블렌드의 파괴신율이 mechanical blending방법에 의한 것에 비해 상대적으로 컸으며, Young's modulus는 mechanical blending에 의한 결과가 상대적으로 컸다. 또한 compositional quenching 공정과 solution blending에 의한 블렌드의 인장강도가 mechanical blending에 의한 것보다 큰 경향을 보였다.

여러 가지 용매에서 N,N-dimethylaniline에 의한 coumarin 153과 coumarin 481분자의 형광소광효과를 조사하였다. 소광속도상수와 분자의 확산속도상수간의 관계로부터 소광과정이 분자의 확산과 어느정도 상호연관성을 갖고 있음을 알 수 있었다. slip boundary조건 보다stick boundary 조건을 적용하였을 때 분자확산 속도상수와 실험적인 소광속도상수와의 차이가 작게 나타났다. cyclohexane 과 같은 비극성용매에서의 소광속도 상수는 이론적인 확산속도상수 값과 오차범위 내에서 거의 일치하였으나 acetonitrile과 같은 극성용매에서는 소광속도상수는 확산속도상수보다 일관되게 작게 나타났다. 이것은 coumarin 분자의 형광소광이 분자간 확산에 의한 충돌 뿐만 아니라 분자내 전하분리와 같은 과정에 의해서도 진행되는 것으로 해석할 수 있다.

Quenching phenomena of hemispherical downward facing convex surfaces with narrow gaps have been investigated experimentally. Experiments employed test sections having 1 and 2 mm in gap thickness and 1 atm in system pressure. From interpretations of the temperature and the heat flux history, it was found that the flooding inside the gap was restricted by CCFL phenomena and quenching process was propagated from lower to upper region of the internal copper shell. The ratio of the maximum heat fluxes at 1 mm to 2mm in gap thickness was the almost same that obtained by steady state experiments. The quenching scenario of the hemispherical downward facing surface with narrow gap has been suggested.

Numerical modeling for a coke dry quenching process was developed and evaluated. The cokes had similar characteristics to a porous material, therefore, its quenching analysis was simplified as a cooling process of porous blocks. A uniform inlet temperature and constant properties of materials in the oven were also assumed. With given operating conditions, temperature profiles in the cokes were calculated and compared to the actual values. The calculated temperature gradient was high at the upper part of the coke flow and the cooling rate decreased as cokes came down to the exit port. The exit port temperature of cokes was similar to the measured value, however, temperature-dependent material properties and operating conditions must be considered to predict the temperature precisely. The calculated results could be applied to design a coke oven to produce high quality cokes.

Incomplete combustion due to quenching in a narrow confinement has been a major problem for realization of a reliable micro combustion device. In most micro combustors, effects of flows are absent in the quenching because the flow is laminar and no severe stretch is present. In such circumstance, quenching is caused either by heat loss or by removal of active radicals to the wall surface of the confinement. An experimental investigation was carried out to investigate the relative significance of these two causes of quenching of a premixed flame. A premixed jet burner with a rectangular cross section at the exit was built. At the burner exit, the flame stands between two walls with adjustable distance. The gap between the two walls at which quenching occurs was measured at different wall surface conditions. The results were analyzed to estimate the relative significance of heat loss to the wall and the removal of radicals at the surface. The measurements indicated that the quenching distance was independent of the wall surface characteristics such as oxygen vacancy, grain boundary, or impurities at low temperature. At high temperature, however, the surface characteristics strongly affect the quenching distance, implying that radical removal at the wall plays a significant role in the quenching process.

Quenching constants, q, determined for N,N-dimethylanilines by liquid scintillation counting indicate that the quenching involves an energy transfer process to these compounds causing strong n-${\pi}$ interaction within the quencher molecule, which is then followed by an non-radiative degradation of the excitation energy to ground state.
