7075알루미늄 합금은 기계적 강도가 가장 높은 고강도 합금으로 열처리 공정이 반드시 필요하다. 그러나 열처리 공정 중 재료의 두께에 따른 내부 온도의 차이로 인한 잔류응력이 발생하여 최종 제품의 치수에 변화를 일으켜 제품 생산에 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서 극저온 열처리 공정을 통하여 야기되는 7075알루미늄 합금의 기계적 특성 및 미세조직에 관하여 연구하였다. 7075 알루미늄 합금은 석출경화를 통한 강화가 이루어지며, 석출경화를 위해서 용체화 처리를 하여 인공시효를 하는 기존 공정과 비교하여 극저온 열처리 공정은 두 개의 추가적인 단계를 가지고 있다. 첫 번째 단계는 -196도의 액체 질소 속에 샘플을 극저온 ��칭을 하는 단계이고, 두 번째 단계는 샘플의 온도를 급격하게 올리는 up-hill quenching이다. 잔류응력은 X-ray diffraction을 이용한 $sin2{\psi}$ 방법으로 측정되었다. 극저온 열처리 후 기계적 특성을 평가하기 위하여 vickers hardness를 측정하였으며 미세 조직의 특성을 파악하기 위하여 EBSD와 TEM을 이용하여 평가하였다.

스트레인 게이지를 이용하여 변형측정을 할 때 온도변화의 영향으로 나타나는 겉보기 변형도와 게이지 상수의 변화에 대하여 설명하였고 실제 측정시 정확한 측정값을 얻기위한 온도보상 방 법에 대하여 기술하였다. 온도변화에 의한 겉보기 변형도의 값은 기계적 하중에 의한 변형도에 비하여 무시할 수 없는 큰 값을 나타내기 때문에 적절한 보상에 의하여 정확한 측정값을 얻어 내야 한다. 항공우주산업, 원자력산업 등의 분야에서 널리 응용되는 극저온 환경에서 겉보기 변 형도와 게이지 상수의 측정결과를 제시하였다. 극저온에서는 자체 온도보상된 스트레인 게이지라 할지라도 대단히 큰 온도영향을 받기 때문에 본시험에서 제시한 바와 같이 측정결과를 온도보 상하여 처리해야만 의미있는 결과를 얻을 수 있다. 본 시험에서 4차식으로 구해진 겉보기 변형 도에 대한 특성곡선과 게이지 상수에 대한 시험결과는 극저온에서 변형을 측정할 때 직접적으로 보상하여 사용될 수 있다.

In the large LNG process in FLNG or FSRU, sudden temperature drops of the steel in the event of LNG leaks may cause brittle fracture of the structure. In this paper, we investigate the principle and process of forming a cryogenic fluid on a steel plate through a cryogenic spillage experiment, and analyze the correlation of the temperature distribution of the steel plate according to the distance from the nozzle and exposure time. Two types of cryogenic fluids were used: LN2 and LNG. The cyogenic liquid was released on the steel plate at 1.6L/min for LN2 and 1.5L/min for LNG. For the steel, DH was used and the temperature was measured at 10 points in total. The Leidenfrost effect was observed on the steel plate, and the temperature distribution of the steel was varied according the flow path and the heat of evaporation of the fluid.

The strength of adhesive joints employed in composite structures under cryogenic environments, such as LNG tanks, is affected by thermal residual stress generated from the large temperature difference between the bonding process and the operating temperature. Aramid fibers are noted for their low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and have been used to control the CTE of thermosetting resins. However, aramid composites exhibit poor adhesion between the fibers and the resin because the aramid fibers are chemically inert and contain insufficient functional groups. In this work, electrospun meta-aramid nanofiber-reinforced epoxy adhesive was fabricated to improve the interfacial bonding between the adhesive and the fibers under cryogenic temperatures. The CTE of the nanofiber-reinforced adhesives were measured, and the effect on the adhesion strength was investigated at single-lap joints under cryogenic temperatures. The fracture toughness of the adhesive joints was measured using a Double Cantilever Beam (DCB) test.

The purpose of this study is to establish the analysis method for prediction of temperature during cryogenic heat treatment. Experimental cryogenic heat treatment is conducted to observe the phenomena such as boiling of fluid, ice layer on the material surface and to measure the temperature distribution of Al6061 tube. The CFD analysis considering the observed phenomena in the experiment is performed to predict the temperature distribution and convection heat transfer coefficient at each stage of cryogenic heat treatment, in which the boiling of fluid is considered as the multi-phase condition of vapour and liquid. The formation of ice layer on the tube surface is also modeled between material and fluid. The predicted results are in good agreement with the experimental ones. From the results, it is shown that the analysis method can predict the temperature distribution and convection heat transfer coefficient during cryogenic heat treatment.

INCONEL 718합금은 상온, 고온 및 저온환경에서 기계적 특성이 아주 우수하다. 상온에서의 모재 강도는 약 900MPa이며, 열처리 후 시효경화처리에 의해 강도가 약 1300MPa까지 증가한다. 이러한 INCONEL 718합금의 기계적 특성은 시험결과에서도 유사한 값을 나타내었고, GTAW 용접부의 상온 기계적 특성도 모재보다 우수한 강도를 나타내었다. 또한 저온에서의 기계적 특성은 모든 시험조건에서 상온보다 높은 강도를 나타내었으며, 열처리 모재시편과 용접시편은 1400MPa에 달하는 고강도를 나타내었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 INCONEL 718합금의 저온 기계적 특성이 우수한 것을 증명하였고, 용접성 또한 모재의 특성과 같이 상온 및 저온 특성이 우수한 것을 알 수 있었다. INCONEL 718 합금과 STS 316L의 이종접합의 경우에도 $-100^{\circ}C$환경의 인장강도가 상온보다 300MPa 이상 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서, INCONEL 718합금은 $100^{\circ}C$이하부터 일정온도까지는 기계적 특성이 계속 증가 할 것으로 사료되며, 극저온 고압 상태로 공급되는 산화제 배관 제작에 적합한 소재로 판단된다.

The characteristics of the tool system give many effects into the costs and qualities for the finished components. Therefore, a tool life is one of the important issues on cold forging industry. However, since variables related with tool life are many complicated, the studies for solution should be investigated by the systematic research approach. The shape and process changes of die, the hardness changes of material and the tolerance of dies to decrease the die stress are analyzed by the FEM software. The heat-treatment of tool material is investigated to improve the tool life. Deep cryogenic treatment of tool steel is very efficient to improve the wear resistance due to the fine carbide. And, it is investigated that the shape and dimension of tool give effect into both tool life and quality of forged product..

A stable reference voltage generator is necessary to the infrared image signal readout circuit(ROIC) to improve noise characteristics of signal originated from infrared devices, that is, to gain good images. In this paper, bandgap circuit operating at cryogenic temperature of 77K for Infrared image ROIC(readout integrated circuit) was first made. It demonstrates practical use possibility through taking measurements and estimations. Bandgap circuit is a representative voltage reference circuit. Most of bandgap reference circuits which are presented so far operate at room temperature, and their characteristic are not suitable for infrared image ROIC operating at liquid nitrogen temperature, 77K. To design bandgap circuit operating at cryogenic temperature, suitable circuit is selected and the parameter characteristics of used devices as temperature change are seen by a theoretical study and fitted at liquid temperature with considering such characteristics. This circuit has been fabricated in the Hynix 0.6um standard CMOS process, and the output voltage measured shows that the stability is 1.042±0.0015V over the temperature range of 60K to 110K and is better than bandgap circuits operated at room temperature.

This study evaluated the combination effect of various freezing and thawing techniques on the quality and nutritional aspects of onions. Onions were frozen by natural air convection freezing (NCF), air blast freezing (ABF), and liquid nitrogen freezing (LNF). Onions were frozen for 76 min by NCF, 9 min by ABF, and 9 min by LNF. The freezing treatment was stopped when the core temperature reached $-12^{\circ}C$ for NCF and ABF, and $-120^{\circ}C$ for LNF. Frozen samples were thawed through natural air convection thawing, running water thawing, sonication thawing (ST), or microwave thawing. The quality and nutritional aspects of frozen-thawed onions were evaluated by measuring thawing loss, pH, texture, water content, color, and SEM image. ST was found to cause the least loss in onion sample among the tested thawing methods, whereas the freezing methods did not cause any significant loss. In our experiment, thawing is found to be a more critical technique when compared to that of freezing. There were no clear quantifications or trends of pH and water content among different freezing and thawing techniques. The highest total color difference (${\Delta}E$) was observed in the NCF sample. For morphological observation, ABF gave the smallest ice crystal size, as well as minimum cell collapse. Loss of vitamin C, free sugar, and organic acid content was lower in the ABF and ST sample, when compared to other trials. In our study, we found that combination of ABF and ST could preserve the quality and nutritional aspects of frozen-thawed onions better than other methods.
