The recent tendency in the automobile industries is toward light weighting vehicle body to improve the problems by environmental pollution as well as improving fuel cost. The effective way to reduce the weight of vehicle body seems to be application of new materials for body structure and such trend is remarkable. Among the various materials for vehicle body, stainless steel sheet (for example, 301L and 304L), TRIP steel and cold rolled steel sheets are under the interests. However, in order to guarantee reliability of new material and to establish the long life design criteria of body structure, it is important and require condition to assess spot weldability of them and fatigue strength of spot welded lap joints which were fabricated under optimized spot welding condition. And, recently, a new issue in the design of the spot welded structure is to predict economically fatigue design criterion without additional fatigue tests. In general, for fatigue design of the spot-welded thin sheet structure, additional fatigue tests according to the welding condition, material, joint type, and fatigue loading condition are generally required. This indicates that much cost and time for it should be consumed. Therefore, in this paper, the maximum stresses at nugget edge of spot weld were calculated through nonlinear finite element analysis first. And next, obtained the ${\Delta}P-N_{f}$ relation through the actual fatigue tests on spot welded lap joints of similar and dissimilar high strength steel sheets. And then, the ${\Delta}P-N_{f}$ relation was rearranged in the ${\Delta}{\sigma}-N_{f}$ relation. From this ${\Delta}{\sigma}-N_{f}$ relation, developed the fatigue design technology for spot welded lap joints of them welded using the optimized welding conditions.

Methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS)과 trimethylethoxysilane (TMES)을 출발물질로 사용하여 여러 종류의 용매에 용해시킨 후 다양한 종류의 촉매를 사용해 물과의 가수분해 및 중축합반응을 진행시켜 비불소계 발수 코팅 용액을 제조하였다. 또한 이 코팅 용액을 냉연 강판 위에 스핀 코팅하고 열 경화시켜 발수 코팅 도막을 제조 하였다. 이 과정 중 촉매와 용매의 종류 변화가 생성된 코팅 도막의 발수성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 강산인 염산과 질산을 촉매로 사용한 경우에는 용액 내에 siloxane polymer들의 응집이 발생한 흰색의 불투명 상태를 나타냈다. 반면에 약산인 아세트산, 인산과 옥살산을 사용한 경우에는 투명하고 침전이 없는 안정한 용액 상태를 보였다. 이로 인해 강산인 염산과 질산을 사용한 경우의 코팅 도막의 접촉각은 각각 $58^{\circ}$와 $92^{\circ}$로 낮은 발수성을 보인 반면에 약산인 아세트산, 인산과 옥살산으로 제조된 경우에는 각각 $101^{\circ}$, $103^{\circ}$, $116^{\circ}$의 접촉각을 보여 높은 발수성을 나타내었다. 또한 이소프로판올과 에탄올을 용매로 사용한 경우에는 용액 내에서 siloxane polymer들의 응집이 일어나 불투명한 침전이 발생한 상분리 현상을 보인 반면 메탄올, 에틸아세테이트와 메틸에틸케톤을 용매로 사용한 경우에는 투명하고 침전이 없는 안정된 상태를 나타내었다.

본 연구는 제조공정을 달리한 0.14C-6.5Mn강을 2상영역에서 역변태처리 하였을 때 다량의 잔류오스테나이트를 생성시키기 위한 열처리 조건을 제시하고 잔류오스테나이트의 생성과 관련하여 미세조직 관찰, C, Mn의 분배거동 및 기계적성질을 조사하였다. 잔류오스테나이트는 역변태처리시 오스테나이트내에 C, Mn의 확산으로 농축되어 안정화되며 연성향상에 크게 기여한다. 30%이상의 잔류오스테나이트를 확보하기 위해서는 6457에서 역변태처리하는 것이 효과적이지만, 잔류오스테나이트의 부피 분율과 기계적안정성을 고려하면 $620^{\circ}C$에서 열처리하는 것이 바람직하다. 냉연재의 강도.연성조합값은 3강종 모두 $620^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 역변태처리한 경우 4000kg/$\textrm{mm}^2$정도로 매우 우수하지만 고온에서는 연성감소로 인하여 그 값이 현저하게 저하하였다. 0.14C-6.5Mn계 TRIP강에서 잔류오스테나이트 생성과 기계적성질에 미치는 1.1%Si 첨가효과는 매우 미약하였다.

With the increasing global interest in carbon neutrality, the automotive industry is also transitioning to the production of eco-friendly cars, specifically electric vehicles. In order to achieve comparable driving distances to internal combustion engine vehicles, the application of high-capacity battery packs has led to an increase in vehicle weight. To achieve light-weighting and durability requirements of automotive components simultaneously, there is a demand for research on the application of Ultra-High Strength Steel (UHSS). However, when manufacturing chassis components using UHSS, there are challenges related to fracture defects due to lower elongation compared to regular steel sheets, as well as spring-back issues caused by high tensile strength. In this study, a simulated specimen that is not affected by the property changes of four materials was designed to improve formability of the rear cross member, which is the most challenging automotive chassis component. The influence and correlation of material-specific variables were analyzed through finite element analysis (FEA) for each material with tensile strength of 440, 590, 780, and 980 MPa grades, resulting in the development of a predictive equation. To validate the equation, the simulated specimens of 980 MPa grade were produced from the test molds. Then the reliability of the FEA and predictive equation was verified with measured specimen data using a 3D scanner. The results of this study can be proposed to improve the formability of UHSS chassis components in future researches.

In this paper, we investigated the characteristics of fatigue fracture on TB(Tailored Blank) weldment by comparing the fatigue crack propagation characteristics of base metal with those of TB welded sheet used for vehicle body panels. We also investigated the influence of center crack on the fatigue characteristic of laser weld sheet of same thickness. We conducted an experiment on fatigue crack propagation on the base metal specimen of 1.2mm thickness of cold-rolled metal sheet(SPCSD) and 2.0mm thickness of hot-rolled metal sheet(SAPH440) and 1.2+2.0mm TB specimen. We also made an experiment on fatigue crack propagation on 2.0+2.0mm and 1.2+1.2mm thickness TB specimen which had center crack. The characteristics of fatigue crack growth on the base metal were different from those on 1.2+2.0mm thickness TB specimen. The fatigue crack growth rate of the TB welded specimens is slower in low stress intensity factor range $({\Delta}K)$ region and faster in high${\Delta}K$ region than that of the base metal specimens. The slant crack angle slightly influenced the crack propagation of the TB specimen of 2.0+2.0mm thinkness.

레이저 정밀 가공은 고품질의 집속 광에너지를 이용하여 재료를 미세하게 가공하는 특수 가공으로 정밀 제조 분야에 적용되고 있다. 그러나 레이저 가공 시 열적 효과로 인해 재료 특성을 저하 시킬 수 있다. 또한, 압연 강재 및 강판의 경우 공정 단계에서 강한 압력으로 제작하기 때문에 반드시 잔류응력이 존재한다. 하지만 압연 강재에 존재하는 잔류응력의 양은 정량적인 예측이 불가능하다. 이러한 잔류응력이 존재하는 재료의 레이저 가공 시 레이저에 의한 부가적인 응력 발생 및 재료에 미치는 열적 영향의 예측 및 평가는 정밀 가공에 있어서 반드시 고려해야 하는 사항이다. 본 연구에서는 레이저 홀 가공 시 발생되는 온도 및 응력을 유한요소 해석과 실험적 방법으로 분석하였다. 재료의 열응력을 예측하기 위해 레이저 홀가공 실험을 수행하여 가열 및 냉각 등의 대한 결과를 도출하였다. 또한 냉각 시간에 따른 응력의 변화를 파악하였고 유한요소 해석으로 예측된 응력을 홀드릴링 응력 측정 기법에 의해 도출된 응력과 비교 검증하였다.

소성이방성은 판재의 가공성을 결정하는 중요한 인자로써 주로 기계적인 인장시험에 의해 측정되고 평가되어 왔다. 압연 방향에 대하여 상대적인 방향으로 진행하는 초음파의 속도로부터 집합조직의 결정분포함수를 구할 수 있으며, 결정분포함수의 계수인 결정방위계수는 소성이방성의 평균값들과 상관 관계를 갖는다. 본 실험에서는 초음파 속도로 구한 결정방위계수와 압연강판의 소성이방성을 비교하여 서로의 상관 관계를 구하였으며, 측정결과 average normal anisotropy, $\bar{\gamma}$는 ${\pm}0.082$, average planar anisotropy, ${\Delta}r$는 ${\pm}0.096$의 편차 내에서 예측 가능하였다. 초음파 속도 측정에는 공진주파수측정법이 적용되었고, 초음파의 송수신에는 EMAT가 이용되었다.

Double layer films which consisted of aluminum(Al) and magnesium(Mg) have been prepared by e-beam deposition. The structure, alloy phase, and corrosion resistance of the prepared films were investigated before and after heat treatment. The first (bottom) layer fixed with Al, and the thickness ratio between Al and Mg layers has been changed from 1 : 1 to 5 : 1, respectively. Total thickness of Al-Mg film was fixed at $3{\mu}m$. The cold-rolled steel sheet was used as a substrate. Heat treatment was fulfilled in an nitrogen atmosphere at the temperature of $400^{\circ}C$ for 2, 3 and 10 min. Surface morphology of as-deposited Al-Mg film having Mg top layer showed plate-like structure. The morphology was not changed even after heat treatment. However, cross-sectional morphology of Al-Mg films was drastically changed after heat treatment, especially for the samples heat treated for 10 min. The morphology of as-deposited films showed columnar structure, while featureless structure of the films appeared after heat treatment. The x-ray diffraction data for as-deposited Al-Mg films showed only pure Al and Mg peaks. However, Al-Mg alloy peaks such as $Al_3Mg_2$ and $Al_{12}Mg_{17}$ appeared after heat treatment of the films. It is believed that the formation of Al-Mg alloy phase affected the structure change of Al-Mg film. It was found that the corrosion resistance of Al-Mg film was increased after heat treatment.

Double-layered Al-Mg films have been deposited by using an e-beam deposition method on a cold-rolled steel sheet(CR), which the structure of the film was Al/Mg/CR. The micro-structure, alloy phase, and corrosion resistance of the Al-Mg coated CR were investigated before and after heat treatment at $400^{\circ}C$ for 2, 3, and 10 min in a nitrogen atmosphere. Total thickness of Al-Mg films was fixed at $3{\mu}m$ and the thickness ratio of Al and Mg layers(Al:Mg) has been changed from 5:1 to 1:5. The cross-sectional morphology of the films, which had the thickness ratio of 2:1(Al:Mg), 1:1, and 1:2, was changed after heat treatment from columnar to featureless structure. The x-ray diffraction data for as-deposited films showed only pure Al and Mg peaks. Al-Mg alloy peaks such as $Al_3Mg_2$ and $Al_{12}Mg_{17}$ phase appeared after the heat treatment. The Al-Mg coating with the thickness ratio of 1:1(Al:Mg) showed the best corrosion resistance of up to 500 hours by salt spray test.

With femtosecond (fs) laser pulse irradiation on metals, various types of nano- and micro-scale structures can be naturally induced at the surface through laser-matter interaction. Two notable structures are laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSSs) and cone/spike structures, which are known to significantly modify the optical and physical properties of metal surfaces. In this work, we irradiate fs laser pulses onto various types of metals, cold-rolled steel, pickled & oiled steel, Fe-18Cr-8Ni alloy, Zn-Mg-Al alloy coated steel, and pure Cu which can be useful for precise molding and imprinting processes, and adjust the morphological profiles of LIPSSs and cone/spike structures for clear structural coloration and a larger range of surface wettability control, respectively, by changing the fluence of laser and the speed of raster scan. The periods of LIPSSs on metals used in our experiments are nearly independent of laser fluence. Accordingly, the structural coloration of the surface with LIPSSs can be optimized with the morphological profile of LIPSSs, controlled only by the speed of the raster scan once the laser fluence is determined for each metal sample. However, different from LIPSSs, we demonstrate that the morphological profiles of the cone/spike structures, including their size, shape, and density, can be manipulated with both the laser fluence and the raster scan speed to increase a change in the contact angle. By injection molding and imprinting processes, it is expected that fs laser-induced surface structures on metals can be replicated to the plastic surfaces and potentially beneficial to control the optical and wetting properties of the surface of injection molded and imprinted products.
