Friction Stir Welding (FSW) was developed, it is successfully commercialized in the field of transportation vehicles. In this study, we analyzed the defects of A2024-T4 alloy using non-destructive test of radiograph, ultrasonic, electrical conductivity and destructive test of microstructure observation, tensile strength. As the results of experiment, mapping of defects was obtained. Fine defects which were not detected in radiograph test were detected in ultrasonic test, and it enabled efficient detection of defects by difference of sound pressure and color. The values of electrical conductivity was decreased as amount of defects was increasing. Joint efficient of defect-free weldment that found by non-destructive and destructive test was 91%. Therefore it was considered that non-destructive test of friction stir welded A2024-T4 Alloy was an efficient method.

During the development of flight software, the processor emulator and satellite simulator are essential tools for software development and verification, which can be substituted for the actual hardware. LEO satellites being developed by KARI recently use the MCM-ERC32SC processor for on-board computer (OBC). For the flight software (FSW) development and testing, the software-based spacecraft simulator was developed using TSIM-ERC32 processor emulator from Aeroflex Gaisler. It is needed to get rid of the constraints and dependencies of TSIM-ERC32 processor emulator and to obtain high performance processor emulator to develop full satellite simulator. This paper presents the development of the ERC32 emulator based on open source dynamic translator, QEMU, as the first step. And it describes the software development and testing/debugging on the developed emulator.

The Friction Stir Welding(FSW) has mainly been used for making butt joints in Al alloys. Development of Friction Stir Lap Welding(FSLW) would expand the number of applications. Microstructure of FSLW in A5052-H112 alloy was investigated under varying rotation and welding speed. As the rotation speed was increased and the welding speed was decreased, a amount of heat was increased. As a result, bead interval was narrower, bead width are larger, and experimental bead interval was almost similar to theoretical bead interval. Typical microstructures of FSLW A5052-H112 alloy consist of three zones, including Stir Zone(SZ), Thermo-Mechanically Affected Zone(TMAZ) and Heat Affected Zone(HAZ). As a amount of heat was increased, average grain size was larger in three zones. Nevertheless, the aspect ratio was almost fixed for FSLW conditions. The misorientation of SZ, HAZ and TMAZ was examined. A large number of low angle grain boundaries, which were formed by severe plastic deformation, were showed in TMAZ as comparison with SZ and HAZ. Microhardness distribution was high in order of BM, SZ, TMAZ, and HAZ. The Micro-hardness distribution in HAZ, TMAZ of upper plate were lager than lower plate. Relationship between average grain size and microhardness was almost corresponded to Hall-Petch equation.

The Friction Stir Welding (FSW) has mainly been used for making butt joints in Al alloys. The development of Friction Stir Lap Welding (FSLW) would expand the number of applications. In this study, microstructures and mechanical properties of FSLW in A5052 alloy were investigated under varying rotating speed and probe length. Investigating the characteristics as FSLWed conditions were as below ; Failure Maximum load by shear fracture was increased proportional to the width of joint area, which was increased by input heat, stirring intensity in the case of 2.3 mm probe length. Tensile fracture occurred, and maximum load was determined due to side worm hole of joint area and softening of microstructure in the case of 3.0 mm probe length. In the case of 3.7 mm probe length, material hook and bottom worm hole were appeared at the end interface of joint area. The most sound FSLW condition with no defects was 3.0 mm probe length and 1500 rpm-100 mm/min. No defects were showed in 1500 rpm-100 mm/min and 1800 rpm-100 mm/min, but Vickers microhardness distribution in TMAZ/HAZ which was fracture zone was lower in 1800 rpm-100 mm/min than in 1500 rpm-100 mm/min. In this condition highest tensile strength, 215 MPa (allowable rate 78% of joint efficient) was obtained.

The present study investigated the effects of Bisroot, that contains live bacteria (Bacillus polyfermenticus, Bacillus mesentericus, Streptococcus faecalis, & Bifidobacterium breve) and digestive enzymes (protease, lipase), on the growth, body composition and immune response of Nile tilapia fingerlings. One percent of the Bisroot was added to the experimenta feed. All exprimental fish were fed for 60 days. The weigh gains among the experimental fish were not significntly different (P>0.05). Hematocrit value, hemoglobin, total protein, glucose, GOT, and GPT were unaffected by Bisroot treatment. However, it was observed that glucose, GOT, and GPT value in the fish that were fed Bisroot, were lower than the control. The complement activity ($CH_50$) tended to be significantly increased by Bisroot treatment, but not lysozyme activity. Phagocytosis and respiratory burst activities of macrophages in the head kidney were enhanced by Bisroot. Therefore, the Bisroot diet enhances the cellular immune activities were enhanced by Bisroot. Therefore, the Bisroot diet enhances the cellular immune activities of non-specific immune responses. When fish were challenged with a virulent strain of Edwardsiella tarda, the Bisroot treated fish were more resistant than the control. The present results suggest that the introduction of Bisroot into the diet of Nile tilapia could increase their resistance against bacterial infection, reduce fish mortality, and offers economic benefits.

알루미늄 합금 재질은 무게의 경량화와 기계적강도가 우수하며 다른 비철금속에 비하여 값이 저렴한 장점이 있다. 현재 산업현장에서 활용하는 가장 흔한 접합법으로 TIG, RSW 등과 같은 용융 용접법을 현재는 많이 사용 하고 있지만 열전도도가 높아 열 확산이 빠르고, 이에 따라 모재의 팽창이 일어나 열변형을 유발하며, 산화피막은 그 내부에 함유된 결정수가 아크용접 중 분해되어 수소를 방출함으로 기공이 발생하여 부도체로 저항용접시 전도성을 방해하는 등의 문제를 발생시킨다. 또한 철에 비해 4배정도 큰 전기전도율에 따라 저항용접시 대전류를 사용해야 하는 등의 문제점이 발생하고 있다. 이와 같은 알루미늄 합금의 용융용접 과정에서 발생하는 단점을 극복하는 기술로 고상접합 방법인 마찰교반용접법(Friction Stir Welding)이 활용되고 있다. FSW는 1991년 영국의 TWI에서 개발된 최신 용접법으로 모재를 용융점 아래에서 고상용접시키는 방법으로 용융에 따른 열변형과 흄가스(hume gas)와 스패터(spatter)를 억제시켜 주는 친환경적인 용접법이다. 이러한 마찰교반용접의 기술은 그동안 특허에 따른 로열티가 산업현장에서 사용하는데 문제가 되었으나 특허보호 기간인 20년이 1년정도의 기간밖에 남지 않은 상황에서 그 사용은 날로 증가하리라 본다. 이러한 마찰교반용접부의 결함을 평가하는 방법에는 UT, RT 등이 활용되고 있으나 얇은 박판에서의 결함검출은 용이하지 않다. 이리한 문제점을 해결하기위하여 초음파 가진을 이용한 적외선 열화상 검출 기법을 이용하여 마찰교반용접부의 결함 검출 가능성을 연구하였다. 20kHz의 주파수를 400Watt로 가진시켜 겹치기(lap joint) 마찰교반용접이된 A6061-T6의 용접부에 초음파를 입사하였을 때 발생하는 열을 적외선 열화상 카메라를 이용하여 측정함으로써 마찰교반겹치기 용접부의 결함 검출에 활용하였다. 용접부에 초음파를 입사하였을 때 부분적으로 온도차이가 발생하였고, 그에 따른 열화상을 검출 할 수 있었다. 이러한 열화상과 실제 시험편의 용접부의 강도를 평가하기 위하여 인장시험을 하였다. 그 결과 초음파 적외선 열화상 검출에서 발열부위가 나타난 부분이 인장시험에서 낮은 인장강도를 보였다.

This study aims to develop a FE Model to simulate dissimilar friction stir welding and to address its potential for fundamental analysis and practical applications. The FE model is based on Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian approach. Multiphysics systems are calculated using explicit time integration algorithm, and heat generations by friction and inelastic heat conversion as well as heat transfer through the bottom surface are included. Using the developed model, friction stir welding between an Al6061T6 plate and an AZ61 plate were simulated. Three simulations are carried out varying the welding parameters. The model is capable of predicting the temperature and plastic strain fields and the distribution of void. The simulation results showed that temperature was generally greater in Mg plates and that, as a rotation speed increase, not the maximum temperature of Mg plate increased, but did the temperature of Al plate. In addition, the model could predict flash defects, however, the prediction of void near the welding tool was not satisfactory. Since the model includes the complex physics closely occurring during FSW, the model possibly analyze a lot of phenomena hard to discovered by experiments. However, practical applications may be limited due to huge simulation time.
