Aluminum alloys are widely used in automotive industry because of their high strength-to-density ratio and excellent corrosion resistance. However, conventional cold stamping of aluminum alloys leads to low formability and excessive spring-back. To overcome these problems, Hot Forming Quenching (HFQ) is applied to manufacture automotive part using aluminum alloy. The purpose of this study is to investigate effect of forming temperature on spring-back in HFQ of T6 heat treated AA6061 sheet. In this study, hat shape forming test was adopted to evaluate spring-back characteristics according to various forming temperatures. In additions, the test was also performed with warm forming conditions in comparison with dimensional accuracy of HFQed part. The experimental results showed that dimensional accuracy of HFQed part was superior to warm formed part and amount of spring-back was decreased as forming temperature rise.

Submicron high-purity mullite powder was prepared by a colloidal sol-gel route. Boehmite and silica were the starting materials. 2wt% $\alpha$-Al2O3 or ZrO2 was used as a seeding material. The gelled powder was calcined at 130$0^{\circ}C$ for 100min and attrition milled for 3hrs. The mullite powder obtained was composed of submicrometer and uniform particles with a narrow size distribution. It was hot-pressed at 1$600^{\circ}C$ for 1hr under 10MPa or was sintered at 1$650^{\circ}C$ for 4hrs. The bulk densities of the products made by both processes were 3.14 and 3.12g/㎤. the mechanical, thermal and electrical properties of the sintered mullite were characterized by bending strength, thermal expansion coefficient, thermal conductivity, dielectric constant and dielectric loss, etc.

The applications of composite materials have increased over the past few decades in a variety of structures that require high ratio of stiffness and strength to weight ratios. Recently the thick open section composite beams are used extensively as load carrying members and stiffeners of structural elements. However, most of studies on thick composite beams are limited only to closed section beams. In this study, an open cross-section thick-walled composite beam model which includes coupled stiffness, transverse shear, and warping effects is suggested and the deflections associated with the thick-walled composite beams and thin-walled composite beams are obtained and compared with the finite element analysis results.

Ceramics are very difficult-to-cut materials because of its high strength and hardness. Their machining mechanism is characterized by cracking and brittle fracture. In this paper, to give good machinability to the ceramics, BN powders are added to Si$_3$N$_4$ by volume of 20, 25 and 30%. And the machiniability of the produced ceramics are tested using micro drilling system. Through required experimental works, it is shown that the micro drilling machinability is varied along with the volumetric percentage of BN powders. Also, it is verified that the obtained results can be used to develop new machinable ceramics of good material properties and machinability.

Many papers have been conducted on the applications of honeycomb sandwich maintenance, and to improve the high speed and light weight in rolling stocks, aircrafts and so on. The end door of rolling stock is generally made of rolled steel or stainless steel. Thus, the weight of these materials are heavier than of nonferrous metals and thermal deformation by welding or complexity of manufacturing process is occurred. Therefore, this paper is aimed to develop the light weight by application of end door which is made of aluminum honeycomb sandwich panels in rolling stocks and to propose the standards of design and evaluation for its adhesively bonded strength.

In this paper, a simplified ultrasonic CT system, which uses the information in three directions, that is, 90°, ＋45° and －45°about the inspection plane, is applied to the high strength steel, and the frequency analysis method for enhancing the C scan or CT image is developed. This frequency analysis method is based on the frequency response property of the material. By comparing the magnitudes in the frequency domain, the special frequency which shows a significant difference between the welded joint and base material was found and used to obtain a C scan or CT image. Experimental results for several kinds of specimens, having a welded joint by electron beam welding, a weld joint by arc welding, on a fatigue crack, showed that the obtained C scan or CT image has better resolution than the results of previous experiments using the maximum value of the received waveform.

Generally, ceramics are very difficult-to-cut materials because of its high strength and hardness. The machining process of ceramics can be characterized by cracking and brittle fracture. In the machining of ceramics, edge chipping and crack propagation are the principal reasons to cause surface integrity deterioration. Such phenomenon can cause not only poor dimensional and geometric accuracy, but also possible failure of the ceramic parts. Ceramics can be machined with traditional method such as grinding and polishing. However, such processes are generally cost-expensive and have low material removal rate. Thus, in this paper, to overcome these problems. BN powder, which gives good cutting property, is added for the fabrication of machinable ceramics by volume of 5,10,15,20,25 and 30%. And, mechanical properties, R-curve behavior and machining tests are carried out to evaluate the machining properties of the manufactured machinable ceramics.

The study is concerned with shape correction of stamped product using the laser irradiation. As a fundamental study, laser irradiation process has been analyzed through the thermo-mechanical FE analysis. For the purpose of validation, laser scanning experiment has been carried out also. Since the deformation mechanism involved in the laser scanning is extremely complicated due to the highly temperature dependent material properties, the determination of laser scanning pattern is not easy for the application of real stamped parts. A simplified method for the application of springback correction has been suggested with the thermo-mechanical FE analysis.

Tungsten-carbide as typical difficult-to-cut material has excellent mechanical properties such as high thermal resistivity, mechanical strength and chemical durability. However, it is next to impossible for tungsten-carbide to be fabricated the needed parts by cutting process. In this study, for establishing the micro fabrication method of tungsten-carbide for micro injection or compression molding core, the investigation on micro cutting characteristics of tungsten-carbide green part which is made by powder injection molding process and easy to cut relatively was performed. For this, micro endmilling experiments of tungsten-carbide green part were performed according to various cutting conditions. Finally, the wear trend of micro endmill and the appearance of micro rib according to feed-rate and cutting depth per step were analyzed through SEM images of micro cutting feature and microscope images of micro tools.
