우주발사체용 로켓트 구조재로 사용되는 알루미늄합금 단조재는 강도확보를 위하여 고온으로 가열후 급냉과정에서 상당한 크기의 잔류응력이 발생되고 이로 인해 기계가공시 변형이 유발되어 조립성이 나빠진다. 잔류응력은 그 크기가 재료의 항복강도를 초과할 때 제거되므로 응력제거(stress relief)를 위해서는 외부하중이 가해져야 한다. 응력제거 처리는 소성변형, 열처리 및 초음파 등의 방법으로 수행되며 소성변형에 의한 제거효과가 가장 크다 형상이 복잡한 형 단조재의 경우 열간단조금형과 동일한 금형을 이용하는 TX52 등의 방법을 적용한다고 알려져 있으나 TX54에 대한 금형설계 및 소성변형률 적용 데이터는 공정 know-how로 분류되어 있다. 잔류응력제거 처리의 해석적 연구로는 판재와 링롤재에 대해서는 인장 및 압축 소성변형에 적용에 대한 결과가 발표된 바 있으나 형 단조재의 경우에는 전무하다

[ $MgB_2$ ]superconducting sheets have been fabricated using powder roll compaction method. Sheet-type $MgB_2$ bulk samples were successfully fabricated using the pre-reacted $MgB_2$ powders. In this work, $MgB_2$ powders were compacted by two rotating rolls and squeezed out as a form of $MgB_2$ sheets of ~1 mm thickness. The rolling speed of 0.3-0.7 rpm and the gap distance of 0.3-0.8 mm between the two rollers were carefully controlled to get a full compaction of the powders into bulk $MgB_2$ sheets. The densities of $MgB_2$ sheets were 1.98-2.05 g/$cm^3$, which is 75.44-77.99 % of the theoretical value of 2.63 g/$cm^3$. And the density comparison was made compared to those of typical $MgB_2$ bulks from uni-axial pressing and $MgB_2$ wires from Powder-In-Tube processing.

A novel folding process is proposed using a repeated cold-die forging and annealing to form a sterling silver ring. Sterling silver plate was cut into a doughnut shape, and lattices with 0.43-mm line-width were imprinted on it. The sample was folded by forging using dies with slopes of $45^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$, and $75^{\circ}$ and annealing. For comparison, samples were also fabricated without annealing. Strain was identified by measuring the length of lattices. Vernier calipers, a Vickers hardness tester, an optical microscope, and a UV-VIS colorimeter were used to determine the size, hardness, microstructure, and body color. Without annealing, cracks occurred. However, successful deformation was possible when annealing was used. The results of macro strain measurements show that the outer diameter and width decreased, while the inner diameter and thickness increased after the final process. The maximum strain was increased 0.128 toward the parallel direction. The Vickers hardness decreased after annealing and increased after the folding process. The microstructure results showed that the grain size increased after annealing but decreased after folding. The color difference based on the Lab index was under 10 for all processes. Eventually, a doughnut-shaped silver plate was successfully deformed into a ring shape by the folding process.

In general, the flexible forming die that has been used in the flexible forming process has the identical punch size; hence, its flexibility is relatively low because the range of allowable curvature radii is limited due to the uniform punch tip radius. Hence, a conceptual design of a sectional flexible die is presented for enhancing the flexibility of the forming process. Two punches of different sizes are used to configure the arbitrary forming surface. For a forming region with a relatively large curvature radius, a large punch array block is used; on the other hand, for the forming regions with small curvature radii, a small punch block is used. The cross-sectional profiles are compared with the target shape for evaluating the effectiveness of the process. Consequently, it is confirmed that the sectional flexible die can be used along with a combination of punch blocks of different sizes for manufacturing objective surfaces of complex shapes.

Noise control of a plate structure with multiple disk shaped piezoelectric actuators is studied. The plate is excited by an acoustic pressure field produced by a noise source located below the plate. Finite element modeling is used for the plate structure that supports a combination of three dimensional solid, flat shell and transition elements. The objective function, in the optimization procedure, is to minimize the sound energy radiated onto a hemispherical surface of given radius and the design parameters are the locations and sizes of the piezoelectric actuators as well as the amplitudes of the voltages applied to them. Automatic mesh generation is addressed as part of the modeling procedure. Numerical results for both resonance and off resonance frequencies show remarkable noise reduction and the optimal locations of the actuators are found to be close to the edges of the plate structure. The optimized result is robust such that when the acoustic pressure pattern is changed, reduction of radiated sound is still maintained. The robustness of an optimally designed structure is also tested by changing the frequency of the noise source using only the actuator voltages as design parameters.

This paper studies on mechanical properties, fractures, and ultrasonic characteristics of Pure Titanium welds using ultrasonic attenuation. Ti specimen was made by using AR purge gas. When the titanium weld specimen is fractured, Tensile tests were conducted in order to observe the ultrasonic signal changes. A scanning electron microscope(SEM) was used to observe changes in failure surface and an ultrasonic normal probe with the central frequency of 4 MHz was used to obtain ultrasonic signals. As a result, the value of the mechanical properties in the weld zone was lower than that in the base zone and heat affected zone(HAZ) from Ti. Also the grain size in the weld zone was bigger than that in the weld zone and HAZ from Ti. Ultrasonic signals using a RMS method presents correlation between envelope area and the tensile strength. Consequently, the ultrasonic method could be potential tool for integrity evaluation of the Ti weld zone.

In this study we establish a process to predict hardening behavior considering the Bauschinger effect for zircaloy-4 sheets. When a metal is compressed after tension in forming, the yield strength decreases. For this reason, the Bauschinger effect should be considered in FE simulations of spring-back. We suggested a suitable specimen size and a method for determining the optimum tightening torque for simple shear tests. Shear stress-strain curves are obtained for five materials. We developed a method to convert the shear load-displacement curve to the effective stress-strain curve with FEA. We simulated the simple shear forward/reverse test using the combined isotropic/kinematic hardening model. We also investigated the change of the load-displacement curve by varying the hardening coefficients. We determined the hardening coefficients so that they follow the hardening behavior of zircaloy-4 in experiments.

핵연료 피복관용 신합금을 개발하기 위한 기초연구로서 Zr-xNb계 합금과, Zr-0.8Sn-xNb계 합금을 각각 4종씩 선정하였다. 이들 합금을 판재시편으로 가공한 뒤 Autoclave를 이용하여 36$0^{\circ}C$에서 부식 시험을 실시하였다. 부식과정에서 생성되는 산화막의 미세구조를 관찰하기 위해 천이 전 영역에서 동일두께를 갖도록 부식시편을 준비하여 산화막/금속계면에 대해 SEM관찰을 실시하였다. 또한 석출물의 크기와 부식과의 관계를 조사하기 위하여 부식전의 시편에 대해 TEM관찰을 실시하였다. Zr-xNb 2원계 합금에서는 Nb함량이 적을수록 부식저항성이 증가하는 경향을 보이는데, 0.2Nb가 첨가된 합금이 가장 우수한 부식저항성을 보였다. Zr-0.8Sn-xNb 3원계에서도 천이 전 영역에서는 2원계 합금과 마찬가지로 Nb함량이 적을수록 부식저항성이 증가하나, 천이 후 영역에서는 이런 경향이 바뀌는 것이 관찰되었다. 이는 Sn이 첨가됨으로서 Nb가 부식에 미치는 영향이 달라지기 때문이라 생각된다. 산화막 관찰결과, 순수 Zr은 결정립계를 따라서 산화막이 급격히 성장하는 반면에, Zircaloy-4합금은 매우 균일한 산화막 계면을 유지한다. Zr-xNb계 합금과 Zr-0.8Sn-xNb계 합금에서도 내식성이 우수한 합금은 균일한 산화막/금속 계면을 유지하는 것이 관찰되었다.

The evolution of texture and microstructure during recrystallization was tracked after different cold rolling of aluminum sheets. Texture of the sheet center were differentiated by different strain states due to prior deformation. The evolution of recrystallization texture was studied with the amount of shear applied during cold rolling. The final grain size after recrystallization annealing was varied due to the effective strain during deformation.

Since the acoustic nonlinearity is sensitive to the minute variation of material properties, the nonlinear ultrasonic technique(NUT) has been considered as a promising method to evaluate the material degradation or fatigue. However, there are certain limitations to apply the conventional NUT using the bulk wave to thin plates. In case of plates, the use of Lamb wave can be considered, however, the propagation characteristics of Lamb wave are completely different with the bulk wave, and thus the separate study for the nonlinearity of Lamb wave is required. For this work, this paper analyzed first the conditions of mode pair suitable for the practical application as well as for the cumulative propagation of quadratic harmonic frequency and summarized the result in for conditions; (1) phase matching, (2) non-zero power flux, (3) group velocity matching, and (4) non-zero out-of-plane displacement. Experimental results in aluminum plates showed that the amplitude of the secondary Lamb wave and nonlinear parameter growed up with increasing propagation distance at the mode pair satisfying the above all conditions and that the ration of nonlinear parameters measured in Al6061-T6 and Al1100-H15 was closed to the ratio of the absolute nonlinear parameters.
