최근 자동차 산업에서는 연비향상 및 안전규제 강화에 따라 차량 경량화가 필수적으로 요구됨에 따라 DP강(Dual Phase steel), CP강(Complex Phase steel), MS강(Martensitic Steel), TRIP강(Transformation Induced Plasticity steel), TWIP강(Twinning Induced Plasticity steel) 등과 같은 인장강도 700MPa 이상인 초고장력강(Ultra High Strength Steel)의 적용이 증가하고 있다. 초고장력강을 차체에 적용하기 위해서는 용접공정이 필수적이며, 원가 측면에서 유리한 전기저항점용접(Resistance Spot Welding, RSW)이 차체 용접에서 80%이상으로 가장 많이 적용되고 있다. 초고장력강은 강도향상을 위해 합금원소 함량을 늘이기 때문에 일반적으로 용접성이 열악한 것으로 알려져 있다. 이러한 초고장력강의 저항점용접의 경우 적정 용접조건 영역이 축소되고 용접부에서 계면파단 및 부분계면파단이 발생하는 것으로 보고되어 있어 결함 및 품질을 실시간으로 예측할 수 있는 용접품질 판정 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 저항 점 용접을 수행할 때 검출되는 2차 회로 공정 변수를 이용하여 용접부의 동저항을 모니터링하고, 이 동저항 패턴에서 용접 품질 판단에 필요한 인자들을 추출하였다. 추출한 인자들을 상관분석하여 용접 품질과의 상관성을 파악하였으며, 상관성이 높은 인자들을 이용하여 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 이를 근거로 현장 적용이 가능한 회귀 모델을 제시하였다.

Conductive adhesives have been investigated for use in microelectronics packaging as a lead-free solder substitute due to their advantages, such as low bonding temperature. However, high resistivity and poor mechanical behavior may be the limiting factors for the development of conductive adhesives. The metal fillers and the polymer resins provide electrical and mechanical interconnections between surface mount device components and a substrate. As metal fillers used in conductive adhesives, silver is the most commonly used due to its high conductivity and the stability. However the cost of conductive adhesives with silver fillers is much higher than usual lead-free solders and silver has poor electro-migration performance. So, copper can be a promising candidate for conductive filler metal due to its low resistivity and low cost, but oxidation causes this metal to lose its conductivity. In this study, electrically conductive adhesives (ECAs) using surface modified copper fillers were developed. Especially, in order to overcome the problem associated with the oxidation of copper, copper particles were coated with silver, and the silver-coated copper was tested as a filler metal. Especially the effect of silver coating on the electrical resistance just after curing and after aging was investigated. As a result, it was found that the electrical resistance of ECA with silver-coated copper filler was clearly lower and more stable than that of ECA with pure copper filler after curing process. And, during high temperature storage test, the degradation rate of electrical resistance for ECA with silver coated copper filler was quite slower than that for ECA with pure copper filler.

자동차 분야에서 저항 점용접의 결함 및 품질을 실시간으로 예측할 수 있는 연구는 원가절감과 고품질 생산을 위한 필수 불가결한 연구 분야라 할 수 있다. 용접 품질은 전단강도와 너깃의 크기에 의해서 결정되며 여러 가지 독립변수에 따라 결과가 달라진다. 실시간 예측시스템을 개발하기 위하여 다중 회귀분석을 실시하여 3개의 독립변수로 두 가지 종속변수를 충분한 통계적 결과로 구하였으나 회귀식에 의한 품질 예측은 정확도를 보장할 수 없었다. 본 연구에서는 다층 신경망 회로를 구축하였다. 10가지의 동저항 변수에 의한 신경망은 3개의 은닉층을 구축하여 실행 함수와 가중치 행렬을 구하였다. 그러나 이 경우, 입력 변수가 너무 많아 실시간 제어에 어려움이 있을 수 있으므로 회귀분석에 의한 3개의 독립변수로 신경망을 구축하였다. 그 결과 모든 시험데이터를 불량, 부분 불량, 양품으로 구분하는데 성공하였다. 따라서 다중 회귀분석에 의해서 구한 3개의 독립변수에 의한 실시간 용접 품질 판정 시스템을 완성할 수 있었다.

In soft grounds with deep bearing stratum, the PHC piles are generally joined by welding or prefabricated method. However, the existing joining methods have some problems in a side view of workability, quality and cost etc. In this study, a new joining method of PHC piles, which removes the problems of the existing methods, is developed. Static and dynamic load tests in fields as well as laboratory tests such as tensile and bending tests are conducted to investigate the workability and structural safety of PHC piles joined by the new method. The test results show that tensile and bending resistances of the joint part are higher than those of PHC pile itself. PHC piles with 400mm diameter are joined by the new method within 4 minutes while 25 minutes for welding method. Bearing capacities of the PHC piles joined by the new method are nearly the same as those of jointed PHC piles by welding method.

Stainless steel sheets are widely used as the structure material for the railroad cars and the commercial vehicles. These kinds structures used stainless steel sheets are commonly fabricated by using the gas welding. Gas welding is very important and useful technology in fabrication of an railroad car and vehicles structure. However fatigue strength of the gas welded joints is considerably lower than parent metal due to stress concentration at the weldment, fatigue strength evaluation of gas welded joints are very important to evaluate the reliability and durability of railroad cars and to establish a criterion of long life fatigue design. In this paper, ${\Delta}P-N_f$ curve were obtained by fatigue tests. Using these results, the accelerated life test (ALT) is conducted. From the experimental results, an acceleration model is derived and acceleration factors are estimated. So it is intended to obtain the useful information for the fatigue lifetime of plug and ring gas welded joints and data analysis by statistic reliability method, to save time and cost, and to develop optimum accelerated life prediction plans.

It comes up conversation in automobile industry that some technologies related to production and quality for goods have to be developed to make rationalization of the unit cost of production because material of car muffler is replaced by expensive stainless steel having corrosion-resistance and oxidation-resistance. Quality evaluation and control is direct method for the company producing welded goods in large quantities to increase productivity and to improve quality. It seems that prevention of inferior quality and increasement of productivity will be hard if production design does not have quality evaluation method related to weld assembly, They have been producing welded goods using MIG weld but still do not have not only quality evaluation method but also evaluation criterion for welded joint. In this study, the way for development of quality evaluation method is showed by analysis and calculation of waveform to improve technology related to welding process

Dual laser heat sources were used for polymer based material joining. An infrared camera and thermocouple DAQ system were used to correlate the temperature distribution to computer simulation. A 50 degree tilted pre-heating laser source was acting as a heating source to promote the temperature to minimize thermal shock by the following a welding heat source. Based on the experimental result, the skin depth was empirically estimated for computer simulation. The offsets of 3mm, 5mm and 10mm split by weld and preheat were effectively used to control the temperature distribution for the optimal laser joining process. The closer offset resulted in an excessive melting or burning caused by sudden temperature rising. The laser power was split by 50%, 75% and 100% of the weld power, and the best results were found at 50% of preheating. To accurately simulate the physical laser beam absorption and joining optical properties were experimentally measured for the computer FEM simulation. The simulation results showed close correlation between theoretical and experimental results. The developed dual laser process is expected to increase productivity and minimize the cost for the final products.

Condenser tube which is used for a cooling system of automobiles is mainly manufactured by conform extrusion. However, direct extrusion using porthole die in comparison with conform extrusion has many advantages such as improvement of productivity, reduction of production cost etc. In general, the porthole die extrusion process is useful for manufacturing long tubes with hollow sections and consists of three stages(dividing, welding and forming stages). Especially, Porthole die for producing condenser tube is very complex. Thus, in order to obtain the detailed mechanics, to assist in the design of proper die shapes and sizes, and to improve the quality of products, porthole die extrusion should be analyzed in as non-steady state as possible. This paper describes FE analysis of non-steady state porthole die extrusion for producing condenser tube with multi-hole through 3D simulation in the non-steady state during the entire process to evaluate detailed metal flow, temperature distribution, welding pressure and extrusion load. Also to validate FE simulation of porthole die extrusion, a comparison of simulation and experiment results was presented in this paper.

최근 해양, 석유화학 플랜트 등에서는 내마모, 내식성, 내열성이 요구되는 초내열 합금이 기본적인 구조재료로 많이 사용되고 있다. 하지만 고가의 초내열 합금 소재로 밸브를 제작할 때 원가 상승과 가격 경쟁력 저하의 원인이 되고 있다. 이에 유체에 흐르는 특정부위만 육성 용접하는 기술이 효과적인 방법으로 사용되고 있다. 하지만 기존의 볼 육성용접의 경우 사람이 직접 수동으로 작업을 진행하기 때문에 많은 시간이 소요되고 정확한 용접하기 어렵다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 볼 밸브용 볼 육성용접을 균일하게 할 수 있는 로봇자동화 시스템을 개발하였다. 이 시스템은 용접토치를 장착한 용접용 로봇 6축, 포지셔너 회전을 위한 부가 2축, 제어장치 및 로봇경로는 오프라인 프로그램으로 구성되어 있다. CAD 도면 데이터를 오프라인 프로그램에 입력하여 로봇 교시점과 로봇 구동 소스를 얻을 수 있도록 하였고, 볼 육성용접 궤적은 Matlab을 통해 구현하였다. OLP 시스템을 통해 용접층 두께가 균일하게 얻으므로 용가재의 소모량을 약 20% 절약할 수 있었고, 모재와 용접봉 사이의 아크길이를 일정하게 유지하여 육성용접 불량율을 약 50% 정도 감소시켜 품질을 확보하였다. OLP를 활용한 육성용접 자동화 시스템을 통해 작업소요시간이 88시간에서 41시간으로 단축되어 생산성이 2.58배 향상 되었다.
