The effects of post-oxidation and sulfnitriding treatments on the phase transformation in the nitrided case of tool steels have been studied. Dense and compact $Fe_3O_4$ layer was formed at the outer surface of nitride compound layer by post-oxidation treatment and multi layer of iron sulfide(FeS) was formed in the compound layer by sulfnitriding treatment. The surface hardness decreased because of formation of the soft oxide or sulfide at the nitride surface. Diffusion layer of nitride case was not affected by post-oxidation treatment or sulfnitriding treatment of nitrided alloy tool steels.

Forming tool design is carried out for a manufacturing a outer shell structure of the nozzle extension of regenerative cooling thrust chamber. The method which manufactures outer shell structure of nozzle extension is a metal forming process using thin plate. Because the configuration of outer shell structure is changed after forming process by springback effect, the outer shell structure can't be exactly formed with the same forming tool as configuration of the nozzle extension. Therefore forming tool design considering springback effect is necessary for manufacturing the outer shell structure of the nozzle extension. In this study, new designed forming tool configuration was generated to decrease the errors between nozzle contour and formed structure. The analysis results show that the errors between nozzle contour and formed structure is significantly decreased using the new designed forming tool.

The experimental study for turning circular free fanned surface with TiN coated insert tool was conducted for different cutting conditions such as cutting speed, feed rate and depth-of-cut. For the fluctuation of 1.0mm depth-of-cut, the characteristics for machined surface and tool wear were less influenced by the feed rate and cutting speed than those of higher depth of cut. The higher surface roughness and surface precision were obtained in lower cutting speed. For the fluctuation of 1.5mm depth-of-cut, the higher surface roughness was obtained for the case of the lower feed rate of 0.05-10mm/rev and the higher cutting speed of 80m/min. For the fluctuation of 2.0mm depth-of-cut, the surface roughness and surface precision were too worse to machine the specimen And the flank wear on the tool was increased rapidly rather than the crater wear.

High temperature wear of AlCrN coated tool steels sliding against the ultra-high strength boron steels used for hot press forming has been studied. The sliding wear tests have been carried out using a pin-on-disc of configuration under applied normal load of 50 N for 20 min with heating the ultra-high strength boron steels up to $800^{\circ}C$. Characterizations of tribolayers formed on the contacting surfaces between the tribopairs of the AlCrN coated tool steels and the ultra-high strength boron steels have been studied. It was found on the tribolayers of the AlCrN coated tool steels that microcracking and oxides containing Fe and Cr to increase friction coefficient were formed at the early stage of sliding wear, followed by the generation of the smeared oxide layers containing Fe transferred from the tribopair to decrease friction coefficient. This may mainly contribute to very low specific wear rate of the AlCrN coated tool steels sliding against the ultra-high strength boron steels, resulting from oxideoxide contact between the tribopair.

Extrusion of forward-gear and backward-rod by combined extrusion with controlling the extrusion velocity using a counter tool is studied. In the combined forward-backward extrusion with controlling extrusion velocity, only parts with short gear can be formed. To obtain longer gear parts, extrusion with reverse ram motion is carried out after the combined forward-backward extrusion process. In this method, combined forward-backward extrusion is carried out until excessive extrusion length is attained and then, the motion of the punch is stopped and the counter tool is moved in the inverse direction and returned to the position for obtaining the desired extrusion length. The experiment is carried out by using lead for billets as a model material. With reverse ram motion, longer gear teeth without under-filling defect can be formed than that by only combined extrusion with controlling extrusion velocity.

This research describes that the cutting characteristics and tool wear behavior in the micro cutting of three kinds of wear resistant cemented carbides (WC-Co; V40, V50 and V60) using PCD (Poly Crystalline Diamond) and PCBN (Poly crystalline Cubic Boron Nitride) cutting tools by use of the SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) direct observation method. The purpose of this research is to present reasonable cutting conditions from the viewpoint of high efficient cutting refer to a precise finished surface and tool wear. Summary of the results is as follows: (1) The cutting forces tend to increase as the increase of the weight percentage of WC particles, and the thrust forces was larger than the principal forces in the cutting of WC-Co. These phenomena were different from the ordinary cutting such as cutting of steel or cast iron. (2) The cutting speed hardly influenced the thrust force, because of the frictional force between the cutting tool edge and small WC particles at low cutting speed region such as 2$\mu\textrm{m}$/s. It seemed that the thrust cutting force occurred by the contact between the flank face and work material near the cutting edge. (3) The wear mechanism for PCD tools is abrasion by hard WC particles of the work materials, which leads diamond grain to be detached from the bond. (4) From the SEM direct observation in cutting the WC-Co, it seems that WC particles are broken and come into contact with the tool edge directly. This causes tool wear, resulting in severe tool damage. (5) In the orthogonal micro cutting of WC-Co, the tool wear in the flank face was formed bigger than that in the rake face on orthogonal micro cutting. And the machining surface integrity on the side of the cutting tool with a negative rake angle was better than that with a positive one, as well as burr in the case of using the cutting tool with a negative rake angle was formed very little compared to the that with a positive one.

Bladed disk (BLISK) is a vital part in jet engines with a complicated shape which is exclusively machined on a five-axis machine and requires high accuracy of machining. Poor quality of tool orientation (e.g., false tool positioning and unsmooth tool orientation transition) during the five-axis machining may cause collision and machine vibration, which will debase the machining quality and in the worst case sabotage the BLISK. This paper presents a reference plane based algorithm to generate a set of smoothly aligned tool orientations along a tool path. The proposed method guarantees that no collision would occur anywhere along the tool path, and the overall smoothness is globally optimized. A preliminary simulation verification of the proposed algorithm is conducted on a BLISK model and the tool orientation generated is found to be stable, smooth, and well-formed.

Tool test was conducted to investigate the were process of only flank face TiN coated HSS tool in interrupted cutting for variuos cutting speeds and feed rates. Flank wear was caused by microchipping at the cutting edge. At high cutting speed, the which was formed as a result of diffusion and abrasion lowered cutting edge and influenced flank were. Flank wear due to chipping was little influenced by cutting speed.

In this study, unsintered and presintered low purity alumina ceramics were machined with various tools to clarify the machinability and the optimum cutting conditions. The main conclusions obtained were as fellows. Machined with ceramic tool, the ceramics presintered at the temperature range of $1000\~1100^{\circ}C$ showed the best machinability due to the adhesion formed in weared surface within a certain cutting speed range. In the above combination and conditions, the ceramic tool showed the highest productivity through all experiments. The life of CBN tool was longer in machining of the ceramics presintered at $1000^{\circ}C$ than in the case of that presintered at $600^{\circ}C$, but the diamond tool showed adverse tendency. In machining of the ceramics presintered at $1000^{\circ}C$, the ceramic tool exhibits the longest tool life in high speed, the tool lives became extremely worse in the order of CBN tool and diamond tool. However, in the case of the ceramics presintered at $600^{\circ}C$, the diamond tool shows the longest tool life, the tool lives was much worse in the order of CBN tool and ceramic tool.
