A study on the TiN coating layer in small holes on the Purpose of die-casting dies application has been performed with a PACVD process. For the hole having diameter of 4 mm. the uniform TiN coating layer in the hole to the depth of 20 mm was achieved using DC pulsed power source. To understand the forming mechanism of TiN coating layer, plasma diagnosis on Ti, $N_{2}^{+}$ and A $r^{+}$ emissions was carried out during plasma coaling process by optical emirssion spectroscopy. When the duty ratio was equal or over 50%, the Peaks of Ti,$ N_{2}^{+}$ and A $r^{+}$ emission were obviously observed. While duty ratio was equal or under 28.6%, no peaks for Ti, $N_{2}^{+}$ and A $r^$ were observed and the formation of TiN coating layer was rarely observed. For the coating in 4 mm hole diameter, the coating layer with bipolar process was two times deeper than that with unipolar process.

Thermal characteristics of 20 W LED module on light thermal conductive plastic (TCP) heat sink were investigated in comparison with that on aluminum die casting alloy (ADC-12). Thermal simulations of the heat sinks were conducted by using flow simulation of SolidWorks with the following input parameters: density is 1.70 and $2.82kg/m^2$, thermal conductivity is 20 and $92W/(m{\cdot}K)$ for TCP and ADC-12, respectively. The simulated and measured temperatures of the LED modules on TCP heat sink were consistent with its measured temperature, which was $3^{\circ}C$ higher that on ADC-12. The fabricated LED module on TCP heat sink with a weight of 120.5 g was 30% lighter in weight than that of the ADC-12 reference with 171.0 g.

In order to develop the semi-solid forming technology for magnesium alloy the rheological and thixotropic behavior of Mg alloy slurry with varying shear rates and cooling rates was investigated and simulated with considering the viscosity based on microstructures and processing variables. The viscosity of slurry of Mg alloy (AZ91D) in semi-solid region was exponentially increased with a solid fraction, and was decreased with increasing a shear rate. In order to analyze precisely the rheological behavior, the ANYCAST program modified with the Carreau model and the different heat transfer coefficient between the cast and mold was used to simulate the flow behavior of Mg semi-solid slurry during the injection into a casting mold in a high pressure diecasting machine. The simulated rheological behavior of Mg alloy slurry was matched well with the experimental results.

High pressure die casting is one of the precision casting methods. It is highly productivity and suitable for manufacturing components with complex shapes and accurate dimensions. Recently, there has been increasing demand for efficient heat dissipation components, to control the heat generated by devices, which directly affects the efficiency and life of the product. Die cast aluminum alloys with high thermal conductivity are especially needed for this application. In this study, the influence of elements added to the die cast aluminum alloy on its thermal conductivity was evaluated. The results showed that Mn remarkably deteriorated the thermal conductivity of the aluminum alloy. When Cu content was increased, the tensile strength of cast aluminum alloy increased, showing 1 wt% of Cu ensured the minimum mechanical properties of the cast aluminum. As Si content increased, the flow length of the alloy proportionally increased. The flow length of aluminum alloy containing 2 wt% Si was about 85% of that of the ALDC12 alloy. A heat dissipation component was successfully fabricated using an optimized composition of Al-1 wt%Cu-0.6 wt%Fe-2 wt%Si die casting alloy without surface cracks, which were turned out as intergranular cracking originated from the solidification contraction of the alloy with Si composition lower than 2 wt%.

최근, 유한한 에너지 자원의 한계와 지구 온난화 등으로 세계의 제조 산업은 새로운 국면을 맞이하고 있으며, 특히, 자동차 산업은 화석연료를 주 에너지원으로 사용한다는 점과 이 연료를 연소시킬 때 발생하는 이산화탄소가 지구 온난화의 주된 원인이 될 수 있다는 점에서 상기 문제들을 해결하기 위한 다양한 방법에 주목하고 있다. 그 중에서 자동차의 생산기술 측면에서 볼 때, 가장 중요한 이슈는 차체 경량화다. 자동차 차체는 자동차를 구성하고 있는 여러 가지 부품 중에서 약 40% 정도의 무게 비율을 차지하고 있기 때문에, 차체 경량화는 연비향상과 이산화탄소 배출가스 감소와 직접적인 관계를 가지고 있다. 다양한 차체 경량화 방법 중에서 가장 쉽게 접근할 수 있는 방법이 경량소재 적용에 의한 경량화 방법이다. 현재, 탄소섬유 강화 플라스틱과 같이 무게 절감 비율을 최대화 할 수 있는 소재들도 개발되어 일부 적용되고 있지만, 일반적으로 차체 경량화 소재로 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 소재는 알루미늄 합금이며, 이에 대한 차체 적용 비율이 점차로 높아지는 추세에 있다. 이에, 본 연구에서는 알루미늄 합금이 차체에 적용되었을 때의 장단점을 살펴보고, 알루미늄 합금을 적용한 차체 생산과정에서 유의해야 될 사항들과 이를 바탕으로 하는 생산성 극대화 방안에 대하여 고찰하였다. 먼저, 기존의 알루미늄 저항 점 용접공법의 단점을 최소화하고 대량생산 체계에 적합하도록 개발된 새로운 개념의 저항 점 용접 시스템에 대해 그 성능과 양산성을 검증하였다. 구리 전극과 알루미늄 피용접물 사이에 프로세스 테이프를 삽입하여 용접하는 이 시스템은 열전도성이 큰 알루미늄 용접부에서 저전류의 조건에서도 효과적으로 균일한 발열현상이 발생하게 하였으며, 전극 팁 드레싱 없이 모든 용접점이 항상 동일한 조건에서 용접이 이루어질 수 있도록 하였다. 용접 조건 설정에 있어서도 용접전류가 통전되는 순간에 전극 가압력을 자유로이 변형시켜 용접부 크랙 발생을 최소화할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 알루미늄의 또 다른 대표적인 접합방법인 아크용접에 있어서는 용접 입열량을 조절하여 용접변형을 최소화 할 수 있는 아크용접 시스템에 대해 양산성과 적용 타당성을 검토하였다. 와이어 송급 방향을 자유자재로 바꿀 수 있는 이 시스템의 특성에 의해 스패터를 최소화하면서 용융금속이 효과적으로 모재에 금속이행 될 수 있음을 확인하였으며, 판재, 압출재, 및 다이캐스팅재 등 다양한 차체 소재에 대한 용접 가능성 및 미그-레이저 하이브리드 용접과의 비교분석을 통하여 차체 박판 용접에서도 최소의 열변형으로 효과적으로 사용될 수 있음을 보였다.

Today, in order to improve fuel efficiency and dynamic behavior of automobiles, an era of light weight and simplification of automobile parts is being formed. In order to simplify and design and manufacture the shape of the product, various components are integrated. For example, in order to commercialize three products into one product, product processing is occurring to a very narrow area. In the case of existing parts, precision die casting or casting production is used for processing convenience, and the multi-piece method requires a lot of processes and reduces the precision and strength of the parts. It is very advantageous to manufacture integrally to simplify the processing air and secure the strength of the parts, but if a deep and narrow pocket part needs to be processed, it cannot be processed with the equipment's own spindle. To solve a problem, research on cutting processing is being actively conducted, and multi-axis composite processing technology not only solves this problem. It has many advantages, such as being able to cut into composite shapes that have been difficult to flexibly cut through various processes with one machine tool so far. However, the reality is that expensive equipment increases manufacturing costs and lacks engineers who can operate the machine. In the five-axis cutting processing machine, when producing products with deep and narrow sections, the cycle time increases in product production due to the indirectness of tools, and many problems occur in processing. Therefore, dedicated machine tools and multi-axis composite machines should be used. Alternatively, an angle spindle may be used as a special tool capable of multi-axis composite machining of five or more axes in a three-axis machining center. Various and continuous studies are needed in areas such as processing vibration absorption, low heat generation and operational stability, excellent dimensional stability, and strength securing by using the angle spindle.
