It was confirmed that malodor connected with an air-conditioner in an automobile is caused by microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOCs) produced by microorganisms and through microorganisms coexisting with each other to form a biofilm on the evaporator surface. A bacterium, Methylobacterium aquaticum, can form a biofilm on the evaporator surface. The biofilm was composed of 45.79% C (Carbon), 42.36% O (Oxygen), 1.85% Na (Sodium), 5.42% Al (Aluminum), 1.39% P (Phosphorus), 0.74% Cl (Chlorine) and 2.45% K (Potassium). This result matches the composition of the biofilm formed on the surface of the used evaporator. It was determined that sulfur compounds (Hydrogen sulfide, Dimethyl sulfide) and organic acids (n-Butyric acid, n-Valeric acid, iso-Valeric acid) in the air which was blown into the automobile were generated by Methylobacterium aquaticum and Aspergillus versicolor, respectively. On the other hand, volatile organic compounds (Toluene, Xylene, 2-Ethylhexanol, 2-Phenyl- 2-propanol, Ethylbenzene) were not found. It is estimated that the reason is due to the low concentration of generated MVOCs or is caused by the change of some MVOCs depending on the nutrients (medium).

The MCT has been most extensively used in the machining. In particular, the ball endmill has been mainly adopted for finishing on the free- form surface. The advancement of CAD/CAM software has made it possible to develop various cutting pattern methods and to create diverse tool routes. Therefore, the current research made an attempt to find the optimal cutting pattern among the seven cutting patterns (i.e., Follow Periphery, Zig, Zig Zag, Concentric Zig, Concentric Zig Zag, Radial Zig, Radial Zig Zag) when aluminium 6000 series were machined by the ball endmill. The optimal pattern was found by comparing different shapes and surface roughness produced by the seven patterns. The current research found that each cutting pattern produced its own unique geometric features on the machined surface. It was found that the Radial Zig cutting pattern produced the lowest roughness on the flat surfaces. The Radial Zig Zag cutting pattern was found to produce the most accurate free-form surface. Finally, the most efficient cutting pattern in terms of machining time turned out to be the Follow Periphery.

This paper is described about the technique of ultra-precision machining for a infrared camera aspheric mirror. A 200 mm diameter aspheric mirror was fabricated by SPDTM. Aluminum alloy as mirror substrates is known to be easily machined, but not polishable due to its ductility. Aspheric large reflector without a polishing process, the surface roughness of 5 nm Ra, and the form error of $\lambda/2\;(\lambda=632.8 nm)$ for reference curved surface 200 mm has been required. The purpose of this research is to find the optimum machining conditions for cutting reflector using A16061-T651 and apply the SPDTM technique to the manufacturing of ultra precision optical components of Al-alloy aspheric reflector.

This study proposes the construction of attractor simulator for cutting characteristics evaluation of non-ferrous metals. Also this paper aims to find the optimal cutting conditions of diamond turning machine by measuring surface form and roughness to perform the cutting experiment of non-ferrous metals, which are aluminum, with diamond tool. As well, according to change cutting conditions such as feed rate, cutting force and surface roughness are measured by tool dynamometer. Trajectory changes in the attractor indicated a substantial difference in fractal characteristics. Constructed attractor in this study can be used for cutting characteristics evaluation of non-ferrous metals

Small-sized fans for cooling electronic components are usually produced by injection molding in unified form including blade and hub. However, in case of middle and large-sized fans, they deal ill various products with varied numbers of blade or stagger angles after designing a single blade by molding or aluminum die casting. At this occasion, it is necessary to study design method for high-performance axial fans can be operated with various numbers of blades or stagger angle using unique blade for specified conditions. Therefore, the goal in this study is developing a optimal design method which improves performance of axial fans within the large range of operating by single blade.

Gas atomization mechanical alloying and hot pressing have successfully made high temperature Al-9.45Fe-4.45Cr alloy. The microstructure and mechanical properties of this alloy has been studied by using optical microscope, scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, X-ray diffractometer and compressive tester. It contains high concentration of transition elements of Fe and Cr, which form thermally stable dispersoids in the aluminum matrix. Proper oxidation of powders during ball milling strengthens the bulk extrudates by providing the obstacle particles. The oxide particles are very chemically and thermally stable and prevent the coarsening of the intermediate compounds.

In this study, centrifugal model tests were performed to investigate the behavior of excavated earth retaining wall with the depth of excavation and different types of wall(aluminum, steel panel). Jumunjin standard sand was used for foundation soil. The raining method was adopted to form the required relative density of the model ground. The lateral earth pressure measured from tests were compared with estimated active earth pressure by Rankine's theory. The test results have shown that the earth pressure acting on the retaining wall and the rotation displacement of the wall are influenced by the depth of excavation and the type of wall. It was found from the test results that the deformation of the wall increases with the depth of excavation.

In this study, an attempt was made to fabricate TiAl as well as its in situ composite via combustion synthesis. The processing variable of the combustion synthesis which include aluminum content and the heating rate were found to affect the combustion temperature. The combustion temperature measured, however, was lower than the melting temperature of TiAl and the reaction product were found to include incomplet reaction products. Carbon was added in order to increase the combustion temperature as well as to form in situ reinforcements. The reaction products showed homogeneous microstructures with carbide phases formed within indicating that the addition of carbon increased the combustion temperature above the melting temperature of TiAl.

Currently knowledge of strain in welds has mainly been obtained form strain gaging method:; that is directly attaching most of the material to the gate. The very few non-contact method are still in the early stage. One of the non-contact methods is by the use of the laser that has high-level of the accuracy for the measurement, and this laser also has excellent characteristics on which many studies for its applications are focused throughout the many fields. The dissertation is on the measurement of the strain caused by the characteristics and the temperature changes of the TIG welded zone which is used with 3D ESPI system that is functionally modified through the laser ESPI system. This system employed the aluminum sheet-metal which are mainly used for the steel plate such as for the electronics, chemisry, food instrument and electronic appliances.

As the manufacturing processes of automotive engine piston, gravity die-casting, squeeze casting, hot forging and powder forging process are generally used for the various specifications. As the semi-solid forming(SSF) is compared with conventional casting such as gravity die-casting and squeeze casting for the characteristics of its process, the product without inner defects such as gas porosity and segregation can be obtained and its microstructure is globular grain. In SSF process, the materials are heated up to the temperature between the solvus and liquidus line at which the materials exists in the form of liquid-solid mixture. In this time, Discussion is given about reheating process of row material and results are presented regarding accurate temperature and process variables controlling for right solid fractions.
