Deburring and edge finishing technology as the final process of machining operation is required for manufacturing of advanced precise conponents. But, deburring is considered as a difficult problem on going to the high efficient production and automation in the FMS. Removal of burr couldn't have a standard of its definition because of its various shapes, dimensions and properties and mostly depends on manual treatment. Especially, deburring for cross hole inside is very difficult owing to its shape passing through out perpendicular to a main hole. The electrochemical method is suggested as its solution in practical aspect. Therefore, electrochemical deburring technology needs to be developed for the high efficiency and automation of internal deburring in the cross hole. In this study, the new process in the eliminating burr inside cross hole, electrochemical deburring by the wheel electroplated with Cubic-Boron-Nitrade abrasives, is suggested. Its deburring mechanism is described and machining performances is investigated. Also, CBN electroplated wheel is designed and manufactured and then characteristics of electrochemical deburring are investigated through experiments. Overall electrochemical deburring performance against burr inside cross hole is examined in the various power sources such as peak current and direct current.

Deburring and edge finishing technology as the last process of machining operation is required for manufacturing of advanced procesion components, duburring has treated as a difficult problem on going tothe highefficency, automation in the FMS. Removal of butt with various shapes, dimensions and properties coultn't has a standard and has depended on manual treatment. Especially, deburring for cross hole inside owing to passing through out perpendicular to a main hole is more difficult, the electrolytic method is proper as its solution at practical aspects. Therefore, for the high effciency and automation of intermal deburring in the cross hole, development of electrolytic debutting technology is needed. So, the new process in the burr treatment is supposed. In this study, in the eliminating burr inside cross hole, the principle and machining performances of electrochemical deburring by Cubic-Boron-Nitrade abrasive electroplate wheel are investigated, Design and manufacture of CBN electroplated wheel and analysis of characteristics with electrolytic debutting are achieved. Also deburring efficiency and electrolytic performance for cross hole were examined according to electrolytic current and electrolytic deburring condition corresponding to acquired edge quality was found out.

The effect of process parameter of plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition (PACVD) on the variation of the ratio between cubic boron nitride (c-BN) and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) in the film was in-vestigated. The plasma was generated by electric power with the frequency between 100 and 500 KHz. BCl3 and NH3 were used as a boron and nitrogen source respectively and Ar and hydrogen were added as a car-rier gas. Films were composed of h-BN and c-BN and its ratio varied with the magnitude of process parameters, voltage of the electric power, substrate bias voltage, reaction pressure, gas composition, sub-strate temperature. TEM observation showed that h-BN phase was amorphous while crystalline c-BN par-ticle was imbedded in h-BN matrix in the case of c-BN and h-BN mixed film.

This study aimed to enhance the thermal conductivity of B₄C/Al composite materials, commonly used in transport/storage containers for spent nuclear fuel, by incorporating both boron carbide (B₄C) and cubic boron nitride(cBN) as reinforcing agents in an aluminum (Al) matrix. The composite materials were successfully manufactured through a stir casting process and practical neutron-absorbing materials were obtained by rolling the fabricated composite ingot. The evaluation of the thermal conductivity of the fabricated composites was carried out because thermal conductivity is critical for neutron absorbing materials. The thermal conductivity measurement results indicated an approximately 3% increase in thermal conductivity under the same volume fraction when compared to composite materials using only B₄C particles. Through neutron absorption cross-sectional area calculations, it was confirmed that the neutron absorption capability decreased to a negligible level. Based on the findings of this study, new design approaches for neutron absorption materials are proposed, contributing to the development of high-performance transport/storage containers.
