프레스금형 제작 시 사용목적에 맞는 적합한 소재선택과 빠른 가공방법에 대한 연구는 금형제작시간을 줄이고 금형원가를 절감하는데 절대적으로 필요한 연구분야이다. 특히 장수명 프레스금형을 개발하기 위해선 열에 대한 고찰이 반드시 이루어져야 한다. 일반적으로 프레스금형의 주요부품 소재로는 Cr, W계 저합금 공구강, 고탄소 고크롬강, 고속도강 등 냉간 금형용 합금공구강이 많이 쓰이고 있다. 프레스금형부품을 가공하는 데는 주로 공작기계와 와이어 컷 방전가공을 사용하고 있다. 가공공정에 따라 금형부품의 가공시간 및 수명이 많은 차이가 난다. 밀링가공과 연삭가공으로 제작된 부품의 경우 제작시간과 비용은 많이 드는데 비해 금형의 수명이 길고 밀링가공과 와이어 컷 방전가공을 사용하면 제작시간과 비용은 절감되는 반면 금형수명은 줄어드는 현상이 나타난다. 따라서 본 연구에선 가공시간과 비용이 절감되는 가공방법으로 열처리를 사용하여 금형의 사용수명을 향상시키는 방법에 대해 고찰하고자 한다. 밀링가공-연삭가공, 밀링가공-와이어 컷 방전가공, 밀링가공-와이어 컷-고온템퍼링, 3가지 가공방법으로 시편을 제작하여 가공표면과 중심부를 SEM, EDS분석 및 표면조도분석으로 문제점을 고찰하였고 밀링가공-와이어 컷 방전가공-고온템퍼링의 가공방법으로 밀링가공-연삭가공과 동일한 금형의 수명을 만드는 방법을 도출하였다.

In this study, the carburizing heat treatment process used in aircraft gear manufacturing was compared with the general carburizing heat treatment process using AISI 9310 steel. The process of carburizing followed by slow cooling, and then quenching after austenitizing(Process A) showed less compressive residual stress and less retained austenite in the surface layer compared to the process of quenching directly after carburizing(Process B). In prpcess B, there was a large amount of retained austenite when quenched immediately after carburization, and when treated with subzero, martensite rapidly increased and the compressive residual stress increased significantly, but at the same time, there is a risk of cracking due to severe expansion in volume. Therefore, in the case of aviation parts, it is believed that a step-by-step heat treatment cycle was adopted to ensure stability against heat treatment cracks. As a result of the final tempering after sub-zero treatment, the A process specimen showed a deeper effective case depth and HV700 depth and a higher hardness value above HV700 than the B process specimen.

The effects of heat treatments and alloying elements on the microstructure and mechanical charaterisitics of specially austempered ADIs containing alloying elements such as Cu, Mo and Ni were investigated. To compare with the effect of conventional and normal(CN) austempering treatment, two kinds of special austempering treatments which are those with pre-quenching and pre-heating were conducted. The hardness and uniaxial fatigue tests were carried out to evaluate the mechanical charateristics. The hardness of ADI treated by CN heat cycles was higher than those of other ADIs. Cu added ADI (Cu-ADI) tempered at 400 after austenitizing exhibited the highest fatigue life cycles. While austempering after prequenching makes the austenite with high carbon stable, which resulted in transformation to highly strengthened bainites from the carbon enriched austenite phases during tempering. The high carbon enriched banites is considered to improve the fatigue strength.

국내 벼 건조기간의 기상조건에 적합한 열펌프를 설계, 제작하여 기본 성능을 측정하고, 건조온도 20-50${^{\circ}C}$ 범위에서 벼 건조실험을 통하여 건조특성 및 소요에너지를 분석하였다. 열펌프는 건압축 냉동 사이클에서 냉동효과는 173.8 kJ/kg이었으며, 냉매순환량은 49.6 kg/hr이었다. 따라서, 성능계수는 5.5로 표준냉동사이클에서 냉매 R-22의 성능계수 4.0에 비해 높은 값을 나타내었으며, 목표 건조공기의 온도 30${^{\circ}C}$ 및 상대습도 40%에 도달하는 시간은 6분 및 7분으로 만족할 만한 수준이었다. 건조온도와 곡온과의 온도차이는 건조온도 21.9${^{\circ}C}$에서는 약 1.5${^{\circ}C}$, 건조온도 48.7${^{\circ}C}$에서는 약 8.5${^{\circ}C}$로서, 건조실에서 상승한 곡온은 템퍼링실에서 충분한 냉각이 이루어지는 것으로 판단되었다. 건조온도 21.9, 30.7 38.8 및 48.7${^{\circ}C}$에서 건조속도는 0.29, 0.61, 0.85 및 1.25%/hr로 나타나 상용건조기와 유사한 수준이었다. 건조온도 21.9${^{\circ}C}$에서 소요에너지는 325 kJ/kg, 건조온도 30.7, 38.8 및 48.7${^{\circ}C}$에서는 667, 692 및 776 kJ/kg로 나타나 외기조건에 따라 건조소요에너지의 차이가 발생했지만, 화석연료를 사용하는 상용 화력건조기의 벼 건조소요에너지 4,000-5,000 kJ/kg에 비해 평균 86% 절감되는 것으로 나타났다.

Three different white cast irons alloyed with Cr, V, Mo and W were prepared in order to study their abrasion wear behavior in as-cast and heat-treated conditions. The specimens were produced using a 15㎏-capacity high frequency induction furnace. Melts were super-heated to $1600^{\circ}C$, and poured at $1550^{\circ}C$ into Y-block pepset molds. Three combinations of the alloying elements were selected so as to obtain the different types of carbides : 3%C-10%Cr-5%Mo-5%W(alloy No. 1: $M_7C_3$ and $M_6C$), 3%C -10%V-5%Mo-5%W(alloy No. 2: MC and $M_2C$) and 3%C-17%Cr-3%V(alloy No. 3: $M_7C_3$ only). A scratching type abrasion test was carried out in the states of as-cast(AS), homogenizing(AH), air-hardening(AHF) and tempering(AHFT). First of all, the as-cast specimens were homogenized at $950^{\circ}C$ for 5h under the vacuum atmosphere. Then, they were austenitized at $1050^{\circ}C$ for 2h and followed by air-hardening in air. The air-hardened specimens were tempered at $300^{\circ}C$ for 3h. 1 ㎏ load was applied in order to contact the specimen with abrading wheel which was wound by 120 mesh SiC paper. The wear loss of the test piece(dimension: $50{\times}50{\times}5$ mm) was measured after one cycle of wear test and this procedure was repeated up to 8 cycles. In all the specimens, the abrasion wear loss was found to decrease in the order of AH, AS, AHFT and AHF states. Abrasion wear loss was lowest in the alloy No.2 and highest in the alloy No.1 except for the as-cast and homogenized condition in which the alloy No.3 showed the highest abrasion wear loss. The lowest abrasion wear loss of the alloy No.2 could be attributed to the fact that it contained primary and eutectic MC carbides, and eutectic $M_2C$ carbide with extremely high hardness. The matrix of each specimen was fully pearlitic in the as-cast state but it was transformed to martensite, tempered martensite and austenite depending upon the type of heat-treatment. From these results, it becomes clear that MC carbide is a significant phase to improve the abrasion wear resistance.
