The number of use cases in machinery, aviation, and other industries that manufacture precise parts is increasing, and the construction industry is also increasingly using 3D printing technology. Although various materials for 3D printing are currently being developed and utilized, 3D printing manufacturing has a problem that the mechanical properties of the product may change when compared with conventional manufacturing methods such as injection and molding. This paper verifies the effect of the printing orientation on the mechanical properties of the product in the manufacture of PA12 material and providing basic data on the practical use of the materials as building subsidiary materials and structural materials. The results of the experiment showed that the product printed in the orientation of 0° showed the lowest overall strength and elongation rate, and the product printed in the orientation of 45° showed the highest figure. Overall, tensile strength and yield strength increased between 0° and 45°, and tended to decrease somewhat at 45° to 90°.

In this study, mechanical properties of waste ground rubber tire powder were investigated to evaluate the influence of pre-treatment process for recycling. The tensile test, fracture test and morphology observation were carried out using various kinds of waste ground tire powders, which were produced by grinding and devulcanization process, respectively. As a results, it was found that the produced rubber powder through grinding process increased its tensile strength and elongation with decreasing particle size because of decreasing surface area. Devulcanized rubber powder also increased its tensile strength and elongation by de-crosslink with sulfur. It could be also suggested that devulcanization treatment after grinding process was more efficient recycling process for both increasing tensile property and fracture elongation of waste ground rubber tire powders.

A set of test was conducted on a SA-372 steel for CNG storage tank to study the effect of hydrogen embrittlement. Tensile tests were carried out several conditions such as CNG, HCNG and H2 gas environment including air and Ar under the 35 MPa. Also, the test speed was set at 4*10^-4/s and 4*10^-5/s respectively. To maintain the high pressure for environmental gas during test process, we chose MTS which was installed autoclave. Test results showed that tensile stress, elongation rate and cross sectional contraction under Ar and CNG charging condition were similar to that of reference of air. And there was little bit change with test speed variations. However, hydrogen added conditions such as HCNG and H2 were revealed noticeable change in elongation rate and cross sectional contraction. Tensile stress was still uniform for all conditions. From the results, the effect of hydrogen embrittlement was confirmed on the hydrogen enriched conditions. Also its effect was showed more strong with much hydrogen concentration and slower test speed.

Skin pass rolling is a very important process for applying a certain elongation to a strip in the cold rolling and annealing processes, which play an important role in preventing the stretching of the yield point when the material is processed. The exact prediction of the rolling force is essential for obtaining a given elongation with the steel grade and strip size. Unlike hot rolling and cold rolling, skin pass rolling is used to apply an elongation of within 2% to the strip. Under a small reduction, it is difficult to predict the rolling force because the elastic deformation behavior of the rolls is complicated and a model for predicting the rolling force has not yet been established. Nevertheless, the exact prediction of the rolling force in skin pass rolling has gained increasing importance in recent times with the rapid development of high-strength steels for use in automobiles. In this study, the possibility of predicting the rolling force in skin pass rolling for producing various steel grades was examined using foil rolling theory, which is known to have similar elastic deformation behavior of rolls in the roll bite. It was found that a noncircular arc model is more accurate than a circular model in predicting the roll force of high-strength steel below TS 980 MPa in skin pass rolling.

Poly lactic acid(PLA) and poly butylene adipate-co-terephthalate(PBAT) film was prepared using a twin extruder. PLA (25%) and PBAT (75%) were mixed with various ratio of chain extenders, such as $Joncryl^{(R)}$ and hexamethylene diisocyanate(HDI) to improve the mechanical and thermal properties of produced bio composite films. Tensile strengths of films were steadily increased with increasing ratio of chain extender. The tensile strength of control films was about 25 MPa, and the tensile strength of films with combined chain extenders was above 40 MPa. The films with $Joncryl^{(R)}$ resulted in improved tensile strength, while the film with HDI alone showed improved percent elongation at break. By adding chain extenders into PLA/PBAT resin, the cold crystallization temperature (Tcc) and decomposition temperature (Td) of the produced bio composite films increased. It revealed that the addition of two types of chain extenders was efficient way to get PLA/PBAT film with improved strength and elongation.

The effects of strain-induced crystallization (SIC) on the mechanical properties of elastomeric composites as functions of extension ratio (${\lambda}$), multiwalled carbon nanotube (CNT) content, and carbon black (CB) content are investigated. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analysis shows that the degree of crystallinity increases with the increase in the CB and CNT content. As ${\lambda}$ increases, the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the composites increases, and the latent heat of crystallization (LHc) of the composites is maximum at ${\lambda}$=1.5. It is found that the mechanical properties have a linear relation with LHc, depending on the CNT content. According to the TGA (thermogravimetric analysis), the weight loss of the composite matrix is 94.3% and the weight of the composites decreases with the filler content. The ratio of tensile modulus ($E_{comp}/E_{matrix}$) is higher than that of tensile strength (${\sigma}_{comp}/{\sigma}_{matrix}$) because of the CNT orientation inside the elastomeric composites.

Experimental studies have been done to examine the aging characteristics by regulator diaphragms of gas pressure, governor room of city gas. Various testing samples with different service periods were manufactured. The results of SEM observation indicated that the surface and thickness of the samples tested were slightly sensitive to the service periods. It was found that as the service periods increased, the tensile strength of diaphragm samples decreased. For samples over 25 years of service, the strength decreased to approximately 60 % of that of new diaphragms. It was also found that as the service periods increased, the elongation increased.

핵융합로 제1벽 재료의 후보재로 고려되는 Fe-Cr-Mn계 스테인리스강을 진공 용해하여 이 합금의 미세 조직 및 기계적 성질 그리고 부식 특성에 미치는 Mn, W의 첨가 효과 및 소둔 열처리 온도의 효과에 대하여 실험하였다. 미세 조직 분석은 광학 현미경 관찰, XRD분석 등으로 행하였으며, 기계적 시험으로는 상온 인장 시험, 경도 시험 및 충격 시험을 행하였다. 그리고 부식 시험으로는 부식 환경을 염산과 황산으로 나누어 각 환경에서의 양극 분극 시험을 행하였다. Mn함량이 증가할수록 오스테나이트상이 증가하고 있으나, $\alpha$'마르텐사이트는 급격히 감소하는 대신$\varepsilon$마르텐사이트는 Mn함량이 20%일 때 최대간을 보인 뒤 감소하고 있다. Mn함량이 증가할 수록 또한 소둔 온도가 상승할수록 항복 강도, 인장 강도 및 경도는 감소하였으며 연신율은 증가하였다. 이러한 결과는 합금 중의 오스테나이트 및 마르텐사이트 조직의 함량과 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 판단된다. 한편 합금 중의 Mn함량이 증가할수록 부식 환경에 관계없이 부식 저항성의 변화는 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 W함량이 증가하면 환경에 관계없이 임계 전류 밀도를 감소시키나, 부동태 전류 밀도는 HCI환경에서는 감소시키고 H$_2$SO$_4$환경에서는 오히려 증가시키는 상반된 효과가 나타났다.

In this study, ultrasonic nonlinear characteristics in the heat-treated aluminum alloy have been evaluated. The nonlinearity of ultrasonic wave has been measured as the acoustic nonlinear parameter ${\beta}$, depending upon the amplitude ratio of the second-order harmonic and the fundamental frequency component of ultrasonic wave propagating through the materials. The parameter ${\beta}$ measurement has been carried out with the reflected signals from the back-wall of specimens at the same plane using the contact-type transducers. The heat-treatment, aging, has been achieved at $300^{\circ}C$ for various durations in the range of 1 to 50 hours. The tensile strength and elongation are obtained by the tensile test and then compared with the parameter ${\beta}$. There is a peak of the acoustic nonlinear parameter ${\beta}$ on 5 hours aging and the ${\beta}$ decreases thereafter, exhibiting closed relations with tensile strength and elongation. Also, the heat-treatment time showing peak in the parameter ${\beta}$ was identical to that showing severe change in the ${\sigma}-{\varepsilon}$ curve. These results suggest that the acoustic nonlinear parameter ${\beta}$ can be used for monitoring the strength variations with aging of aluminum alloys.
