Abstract

The catalytic converters for automobile exhaust systems are manufactured by inserting a mat-wrapped substrate into a stainless steel can. A residual pressure that is too high will initiate a fracture in the substrate. In contrast, a residual pressure that is too low will fail to hold the substrate in the acceleration or deceleration phase. Both the process capability and mat pressure on the substrate are predicted while considering the effect of the statistical variation in the dimensions of the parts. The validity of the solutions is then confirmed. A program using EXCEL combines a finite element analysis and process capability analysis in one program.

자동차 배기계의 앞쪽에 배치된 촉매변환기는 배기가스 중 유해한 성분을 무해한 것으로 변환하는 제품이다. 담체를 매트에 두르고 캔에 넣는 캐닝공정을 통하여 제작된다. 매트의 압력이 너무 높으면 담체가 파손되기 쉽고, 너무 작으면 담체가 미끄러지기 쉽다. 담체, 매트와 캔에 대한 통계학적인 오차분포를 반영하여 공정능력수준을 예측하고 담체의 파손이나 미끄러짐도 예측하는 프로그램을 EXCEL로 개발하였다. 상용 프로그램 결과와 비교하여 공정능력평가와 유한요소해석의 타당성을 입증하였다. 기존에 독립적으로 수행하던 유한요소 해석과 공정능력분석을 통합하였다.
