The effect of the numbers of processing on the punch and surface roughness of die block in the W-EDM, which is frequently used to manufacture parts of press die is studied. W-EDM equipment(Sodic A500H), the application of which has increased for its precision, is used in the process three times. To inspect the roughness of the three-time-processed dimension of the punch and the die, the surface roughness measuring instrument(System 5000 of Federal) is used.

Micro-milling is an efficient method for fabricating micro structures because of its high machining rate compared with other non-conventional micro machining processes. But it is not easy to make a micro milling tool with less than 50 $\mu\textrm{m}$ in diameter by conventional machining. In this study, the characteristics of a micro milling tool fabricated by wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) were studied. The workpiece is copper and stainless steel. The effects of some machining conditions such as feed rate, depth of cut, and a shape of tool were studied. The tools with D-shape and square shape in cross section were tested for machining micro grooves and 3D structures.

With development of high advanced technologies and skills, micro machining techniques also are being more functional and smaller. Some of the recently developed micro machining technologies are micro drilling, micro EDM, WEDG, LBM, micro milling, micro UVM etc. In these micro machining techniques, Micro -EDM is generally used for machining micro holes, pockets, and micro structures in difficult-cut-materials. For machining micro structures, first of all, tool electrode should be fabricated by WEDG process. In micro-EDM, parameters such as peak current, pulse width, duration time are very important to fabricate the tool electrode and micro structures. Developed experimental equipments are composed of RLC circuit with PWM. In this paper, using developed micro EDM machine, the characteristics of micro electro discharge machining are investigated at micro holes, slot, and pocket machining etc. Also the trends of tool wear are investigated in case of hole and slot machining.

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is one of the most extensively used non-conventional material removal process. The recent trend in reducing the size of product has given micro EDM a significant amount of research attention. Micro EDM is capable of machining not only micro holes and micro shafts as small as a few micrometers in diameter but also complex three dimensional micro cavities. But, longitudinal tool wear by electrical discharge is indispensable and this affects the machining accuracy in micro EDM process. Therefore, newly developed tool wear compensation strategy called round trip method is suggested and verified by experiment. In this method, machining depth of cut, overlap effect and critical travel length are also considered.

A novel high-Q vertical jinductor for MMICs is proposed and characterized in a wide range of frequencies (DC~10 GHz) using the numerical methods such as the PeEC(partial equivalent element circuit), the FDM (finite difference method) and the MoM (method of moments). Electrical superiority of the vertical inductor to the horizontal is observed in terms of the magnetic flux linkage and the ground screening effect. The veritcal bondwire inductor is designed in consideration of the wire bonding feasibility and the optimum electrical peformance. This structure is also analyzed using the equivalent circuit and compared with the conventional spiral inductors From the calculated results, high Q-factor, inductance, and cut-off frequency are observed to be inherent characteristics of the veritcal bondwire inductor.

Experimental studies are carried out in order to investigate the effects of heat treatment on the surface machined by W-EDM. In this work, two ways of heat treatment after W-EDM are considered. As a comparison, the machined surface by a traditional method such as milling/grinding is also considered. Thereby, specimens are prepared by four different machining methods. Those are (1) milling and then grinding, (2) wire-cut electric discharge machining (W-EDM), and (3) low temperature heat treatment or (4) high temperature heat treatment after W-EDM. The resulting surface roughness are measured and the changes of surface microstructures are investigated using the scanning electron microscope (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS). In general, heat treatment after W-EDM result in smoother surface and better chemical composition at the machined surface. Especially, high temperature tempering could remove defects in the thermally affected zone, which cause an overall deterioration of the surface machined by W-EDM.

The study on synthesis of carbon nanomaterials by H2 mixing in counterflow methane diffusion flames has been experimentally conducted. We have also investigated on effect of catalyst and temperature in flame. The counterflow flame was formed by many kind of gas (fuel side using $CH_4-H_2-N_2$ and oxidizer side $N_2-O_2$) and nitrogen shields discharge on each other side to cut off oxidizer of the atmosphere. Ferrocene was used as a metal catalyst for CNTs synthesis. substrate was used to deposit carbon nanomaterials and these were analyzed by FE-SEM. We could find that carbon nanotubes and many kind of carbon nano materials were formed in Cu wire substrate, through this experiment.

The performance and life of a die are influenced by the machining methods. In order to examine the effects of machining methods on surface charactenstics, simple experiments are devised and performed. A die steel STD11, commonly used as a die material in press working, is selected. Three ways of machining methods to manufacture a die are considered. Those are (1) milling and then grinding, (2) wire-cut electric discharge dachining (W-EDM) and (3) heat treatment after W-EDM. The resulting surface roughnesses are measured. Also, the changes of surface microstructures are investigated using the scanning electron microscope(SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer(EDS) and the results are discussed in details.
