The effects of the gel content on the cell structures of PP sheets by using an electron-curing system were investigated. Three extruded PP sheets crosslinked by three different doses were used for the batch foaming process with the supercritical state $CO_2$. Experiments were also performed in order to study the effects of the gel content, saturation pressure and temperature on cell structures. Then foaming conditions, such as temperature and duration of time, were changed. The amount of gas absorbed into PP samples was not affected by gel contents and the operating condition of saturation pressure, which was higher than 2000 psi. The foam cells of PP with a low gel content grew irregularly at a higher foaming temperature and for a longer duration of foaming time. However, PP samples with high gel content showed even cell structures and narrow tell size distributions under the severe conditions of high foaming temperatures and long duration of foaming time.

Vacuum hot pressing has been used for the development of titanium metal matrix composites using foil-fiber-foil method. Heterogeneous microstructures prior to and following consolidation have been quantified, and the relations to densification behavior investigated. As shown by the results, dramatic variations of the microstructures including equiaxed $\alpha$, transformed $\beta$ and $ Widmanst\ddot{a}tten$ $\alpha$ are obtained during the process according to the fiber distributions. The dependence of microstructures on the consolidation then has been explained in terms of the change in mechanisms such as grain growth and recrystallization that occur with changing levels of inhomogeneity of deformation. Further, micro-mechanics based constitutive model enabling the evolution of density over time together with the evolutions of microstructure to be predicted has been developed. The mode developed is then implemented into finite element scheme so that practical process simulation has been carried out.

반도체 소자 성능 향상을 위한 3차원 TSV배선 공정이 연구되었다. 전기도금을 이용한 TSV 공정 시 기존에는 황산 구리 수용액내에 억제제, 가속제, 평탄제등을 첨가한 복잡한 전해질이 사용되었지만 본 연구에서는 억제제만을 이용하여 Cu bottom-up filling에 성공하여 전해질의 조성을 단순화 시켰다.

Al Foam 소재는 다공질 금속으로써 저밀도 및 우수한 충격에너지 흡수능으로 최근 새로운 기능성 재료로 부상하여 세계 각국에서 연구개발이 활발하게 진행되고있다. 특히 이러한 Al Foam재를 자동차용 부품의 충격흡수재로사용할 경우 뛰어난 충격흡수능으로 인해 고안전 차량 부품 개발에 획기적인 기술 적용이 기대된다. 그러나, 종래 Al Foam재를 기계부품 등에 삽입할 경우 발포금속을 제조하여 부품 형상에 따라 가공하여 삽입하였으나 이는 공정 중 추가적인 기계 가공 및 비용이 들며 이에 따라생산성이 떨어지는 단점이 있었다. 따라서 본 연구논문에서는 차량용 충격흡수 부품 제작에있어 추가적인 가공 및 공정 수를 줄일 수 있는 Y-프로세스라는 주조공법을 적용하여 Net 형상 Al Foam재를 제작하였다. Y-프로세스는 Al Foam 금속 용탕이 주형에 투하되었을 때 Net 형상의 주형을 용탕 내 삽입하여 금속 용탕의 발포 및 응고시 Net 형상을따라 발포 및 응고가 되도록 하여 Net 형상의 Al Foam이삽입된 부품을 만드는 공법을 말한다. Y-프로세스로제조된 Al Foam재는 주형 내 완전히 충진되지는 못하였으나 주형내 충진된 Al Foam재의 상하부 셀크기가 비교적 균일한 모습을 나타내어 향후 공정제어를 통해 우수한 품질의 Net 형상 Al Foam 제조가 가능함을 알 수있었다.

In order to reduce lean-time and cost, recently the technology of Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing(PR/M) has been used widely. So various RP/M methods have been developed and these systems commercialized several years ago. The machining process is one of these methods. It also offers advantages such as precision and versatility. But there are some considerations during machining. The most important problem among them is the fixturing. So we have to overcome the limitation because the fixturing time is depend on the complexity of geometry to be machined. In this paper, we have developed the fixturing technique using filling process that can be widely useful for rapid products within a short time. So we have carried out some kinds of rapid products such as plastic knob and metal fan using our fixturing process. In fixturing step, the filling material might chosen a resin or a alloy according to wether the work material is plastic or metal respectively. Also we developed the set-up equipment attachable on the table of the milling machine that provided practicable quality during a series of machining operations, named by two step milling process.

This paper introduces a preform design method for a ring rolling process with an outer step. Underfilling is one of the general defects of the profile ring rolling process. It occurs when the deformation amount is small or step depth of the profiled region is large. To prevent underfilling, increasing the deformation amount or using a preform of size similar to that of the final product are required. Furthermore, the filling limit equation is suggested based on the shape factor and deformation ratio for preventing defects in the products. The filling limit equation has been derived through finite element analyses and production tests for four different cases. For verifying the suggested method, realsized profile rolling tests were performed, and test results were compared with the predictions of the equation.

Unburned carbon (UC) was successfully separated from fly ash by up to 85.8% in weight via froth flotation using soybean oil as a collector. An 18 wt% yield of microceramics (CM) could be achieved by employing a hydro cyclone separator located immediately after the flotation equipment. UC and CM were tested as alternatives to weight-adding material and polymer (especially polypropylene in this study) filler, respectively. Large particles of UC were broken down into smaller ones via ball milling to have an average particle diameter of 10.2 ㎛. When crushed UC was used as an alternative to clay as a rubber weight-adding material, a somewhat lower tensile strength and elongation rate than the allowed values were unfortunately obtained. In order to satisfy the standard limits, further treatment of UC is required to enhance surface energy for more intimate bonding with rubber. CM was observed in spherical forms with an average diameter of 5 ㎛. The surface of the CM particles was modified with phenol, polyol, stearic acid, and oleic acid so that the surface modified CM could be used as a polypropylene-filling agent. The flowability was good, but due to the lack of coupling forces with polypropylene, successful impact strength and flexural strength could not be obtained. However, when mixing the surface-modified CM with 1% silane by weight, a drastic increase in both the impact strength and flexural strength were obtained.

금속 다공체는 자동차, 선박, 건축 등의 분야에서 구조물이나 충격흡수제 등으로 응용되고 있는데 이들은 일반 금속 구조물에 비해 가볍고 플라스틱에비해서는 강한 장점을 지닌다. 현재 사용되고 있는 대부분의 금속 다공체는 발포 주조공정으로 제조된 알루미늄으로서, 철계 합금에 비해 가벼운 장점을 갖지만 강도가 상당히 떨어지고 가격이 높은 단점을 가진다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 알루미늄 대신 철계 합금으로 다공체를 제조하고자 하였고 제조방법으로는 주조공정 대신 분말공정을선택하였다. 분말공정은 구형 스티로폼을 금속분말 슬러리로 코팅한 후 스티로폼을 제거하여 낱개의 금속중공체(Metallic Hollow Sphere)를 제조하고 이렇게 제조된 중공체를 뭉쳐 성형함으로써최종 형상의 다공체를 제조하는 방법이다. 이 방법으로 제조된 다공체는 주조공정으로 제조된 다공체보다높은 강도를 나타내며 낱개의 중공체는 성형공정을 거치지 않고 필터나 충진재 등의 새로운 용도로 활용될 수 있다.

Solar energy has attracted big attentions as one of clean and unlimited renewable energy. Solar energy is transformed to electrical energy by solar cells which are comprised of multi-silicon wafer or mono-silicon wafer. Monosilicon wafers are fabricated from the Czochralski method. In order to decrease fabrication cost, increasing a poly-silicon charge size in one quartz crucible has been developed very much. When we increase a charge size, the temperature control of a Czochralski equipment becomes more difficult due to a strong melt convection. In this study, we simulated a Czochralski equipment temperature at 20 inch and 24 inch in quartz crucible diameter and various charge sizes (90 kg, 120 kg, 150 kg, 200 kg, 250 kg). The simulated temperature profiles are compared with real temperature profiles and analyzed. It turns out that the simulated temperature profiles and real temperature profiles are in good agreement. We can use a simulated profile for the optimization of real temperature profile in the case of increasing charge sizes.

산업의 발달과 더불어 각종 화학물질들이 여러 산업공정에서 다양한 용도로 이용되고 있다. 인체에 유해한 독성 무기ㆍ유기화합물의 유출 사고나 부적절한 매립 등에 의해 이들 물질이 환경오염을 야기하는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 휘발성 유기화학물의 처리는 물리ㆍ화학적 방법이나 생물학적 방법으로 제거할 수 있다. 생물여과 공정은 오염된 가스를 반응기에 유입하여 고정된 충진물에 형성된 적절한 미생물 층을 이용하여 오염물질을 제거하는 것이다(Deshusses et al., 1995). (중략)
