Surface texturing is a machining process on the surface to give engineering functions. The representative process of the surface texturing is lotus effect to give hydrophobic property by the lithography and chemical etching, which is the bio mimic from the nature. Surface texturing can be manufactured by a lot of processes, in particular using mechanical method such as a precise diamond turning, grinding, rolling, embossing, vibrorolling, and abrasive jet machining (AJM). Among them, the grinding process is notable in terms of the wide range of texturing area and fast processing time. The patterning by grinding is done by the grooved grinding wheel on the work piece. In this case, the pattern shape is determined by the grinding conditions as well as the wheel dressing conditions. In this paper, experimental study on the pattern shapes were done and provide the feasibility in use for the large area patterning.

Recently, surface texturing by atmospheric laser processing has been received lots of attention to improve the tribological performance of various surfaces and this laser texturing of surfaces could be considered in a large extent to improve tribological performance of PVD coated surface. Surface texturing could be performed by various manufacturing techniques such as indentation with hard materials, ion etching, abrasive jet machining, lithography, and Laser Surface Texturing (LST). Out of all these techniques, however it is generally accepted that laser surface texturing (LST) by atmospheric laser processing offers the most promising process as LST is very fast, environmentally-friendly, easy to control the shape and size of the microdimples. In this work various preliminary experimental results from the laser texturing on the PVD-coated steel substrate will be presented. Our results indicated that laser texturing definitely affect the tribological performance of the surfaces and the size as well as pattern type of laser texturing are one of the key factors. From the wear tests against an alumina counterpart ball at room temperature under oil-lubricated condition, laser surface texturing on the CrZrSiN films reduced the friction coefficients by approximately more than 5 times in the case of narrow patterned surfaces.

본 연구에서는 방전가공(electric disharge machining, EDM) 또는 공기연마 분사기(air-abrasive jet machine, AJM) 가공에 의하여 인장 시험편 또는 외팔보 시험 편에 구멍깊이를 증가시켜 가면서 구멍을 뚫었다. 여기에서 방저가공(EDM)을 채택한 것은 구멍깊이를 직접 계측하는 것이 가능하여 구멍깊이 측정 오차에 기인하는 잔류응 력 측정오차를 최소화 할 수 있기 때문이며, 공기연마 분사기를 채택한 것은 구멍을 뚫는 동안 가공응력을 유발시키지 않기 때문이었다. 위 인장 시험편 또는 외팔보 시 험편을 이용하여 균일한 응력장과 두께 방향으로 변하는 선형적 구배응력장을 구현하 고, 이 때 각각 구멍깊이가 다른 원통형 막힘 구멍으로 부터 이완되는 스트레인을 계 측하였다. Schajer가 제안한 멱급수법과 최소장승법을 적용하여 균일응력장 또는 구 배 응력장에서 측정되는 스트레인을 잔류응력으로 환산하였으며, 환산된 잔류응력과 실제로 작용하는 응력을 비교하므로서 이론적으로 제시된 멱급수법과 최소자승법의 타 당성을 실험적으로 검토하는데 본 연구의 목적이 있다. 이 때 얕은 구멍깊이 (0.3∼ 1.2mm)에서 측정되는 스트레인을 이용하여 Schajer의 제안에 따라 잔류응력을 산정하 므로서, 잔류응력 계측 대상 구조물을 가급적 덜파괴시키며 잔류응력을 측정할 수 있 는지 여부를 실험적으로 검토하였다.

A Macroscopic combination of two or more distinct materials is commonly referred to as a "Composite Material", having been designed mechanically and chemically superior in function and characteristic than its individual constituent materials. Composite materials are used not only for aerospace and military, but also heavily used in boat/ship building and general composite industries which we are seeing increasingly more. Regardless of the various applications for composite materials, the industry is still limited and requires better fabrication technology and methodology in order to expand and grow. An example of this is that the majority of fabrication facilities nearby still use an antiquated wet lay-up process where fabrication still requires manual hand labor in a 3D environment impeding productivity of composite product design advancement. As an expert in the advanced composites field, I have developed fabrication skills with the use of machinery based on my past composite experience. In autumn 2011, the Korea government confirmed to fund my project. It is the development of a composite sanding machine. I began development of this semi-robotic prototype beginning in 2009. It has possibilities of replacing or augmenting the exhaustive and difficult jobs performed by human hands, such as sanding, grinding, blasting, and polishing in most often, very awkward conditions, and is also will boost productivity, improve surface quality, cut abrasive costs, eliminate vibration injuries, and protect workers from exposure to dust and airborne contamination. Ease of control and operation of the equipment in or outside of the sanding room is a key benefit to end-users. It will prove to be much more economical than normal robotics and minimize errors that commonly occur in factories. The key components and their technologies are a 360 degree rotational shoulder and a wrist that is controlled under PLC controller and joystick manual mode. Development on both of the key modules is complete and are now operational. The Korean government fund boosted my development and I expect to complete full scale development no later than 3rd quarter 2012. Even with the advantages of composite materials, there is still the need to repair or to maintain composite products with a higher level of technology. I have learned many composite repair skills on composite airframe since many composite fabrication skills including repair, requires training for non aerospace applications. The wind energy market is now requiring much larger blades in order to generate more electrical energy for wind farms. One single blade is commonly 50 meters or longer now. When a wind blade becomes damaged from external forces, on-site repair is required on the columns even under strong wind and freezing temperature conditions. In order to correctly obtain polymerization, the repair must be performed on the damaged area within a very limited time. The use of pre-impregnated glass fabric and heating silicone pad and a hot bonder acting precise heating control are surely required.
