During the past two decades, Metal Injection Molding(MIM) has become a very competitive technology to fabricate small, precise and complex-shaped parts in large quantities. In this research, the applicability of MIM technology in the mass-production of the high precision fuze parts to save manufacturing cost was investigated. The water-atomized 17-4PH stainless steel powder, one of the best corrosion-resistant high strength materials, was injection-molded into real-shape fuze part and flat tensile specimens. The injection-molded parts were thermally debound in hydrogen gas flow without solvent extraction. Sintering of the debound parts was carried out in vacuum at temperatures ranging from $1150^{\circ}C$ to $1370^{\circ}C$. The sintering behavior, mechanical properties, dimensional precision, corrosion resistance of the MIMed 17-4PH stainless parts were investigated. It was found that almost all the properties of the MIMed parts were comparable to those of the mechanically machined parts. Also, actual military field tests using both MIMed and mechanically machined fuze parts were performed as well and were found to be very successful.

This paper presents a miniaturized turn-counting sensor (TCS) where the geomagnetism and high-rpm rotation of ammunition are used to detect the turn number of ammunition for applications to small-caliber turn-counting fuzes. The TCS, composed of cores and a coil, has a robust structure with no moving part for increasing the shock survivability in the gunfire environments of ${\sim}30,000$ g's. The TCS is designed on the basis of the simulation results of an electromagnetic analysis tool, $Maxwell^{(R)}$3D. In experimental study, the static TCS test using a solenoid-coil apparatus and the dynamic TCS test (firing test) have been made. The presented TCS has shown that the induction voltage of $6.5{\;}mV_{P-P}$ is generated at the magnetic flux density of 0.05 mT and the rotational velocity of 30,000 rpm. From the measured signal, the TCS has shown the SNR of 44.0 dB, the nonlinearity of 0.59 % and the frequency-normalized sensitivity of $0.26{\pm}0.01{\;}V/T{\cdot}Hz$ in the temperature range of $-30{\sim}+43^{\circ}C$. Firing test has shown that the TCS can be used as a turn-counting sensor for small-caliber ammunition, verifying the shock survivability of TCS in high-g environments.

Domestic 105mm HE (High Explosive) shell is composed of three parts that are Fuze, Projectile and Propellants. Among three parts, propelling charge of propellants part consists of single base propellants. It has been known that the lifespan of single base propellants is affected by a storage period. These are because Nitrocellulose (NC) which is the main component of propelling gunpowder can be naturally decomposed to unstable substances similar with other nitric acid ester. Even though it cannot be prevented fundamentally from being disassembled, a decomposition product ($NO_2$, $NO_3$, and $HNO_3$) and tranquillizer DPA (Diphenylamine) having high reactivity are added into a propellant to restrain induction of automatic catalysis by a decomposition product. The decay rate of the tranquillizer is also affected by a production rate of the decomposition product of NC. Therefore, an accurate prediction of the Self-Life is required to ensure against risks such as explosion. Hereupon, this paper presents a new methodology to estimate the shelf-life of single base propellants using data of ASRP (Ammunition Stockpile Reliability Program) to domestic 105mm HE (propelling charge of propellants part). We selected four attributes that are inferred to have influence on distribution of the DPA amount in a propellant from the ASRP dataset through data mining processes. Then the selected attributes were used as independent variables in a regression analysis in order to estimate the shelf-life of single base propellants.

국내 유도무기 분야의 비약적 발전에도 불구하고, 유도무기 내 정밀 기계 부품의 제조 방식은 80년대의 기계 절삭가공 및 정밀주조 방식에서 눈에 띄는 발전이 없는 상황이다. 생산 수량이 많지 않고 높은 신뢰도를 요구하는 만큼 기계 절삭가공이나 정밀주조 방식이 유리한 측면이 있는 것은 분명하다. 하지만 광범위 지역 제압용 유도무기(천무, 해룡 등)의 경우 유도탄 1기당 수백 개 이상의 자탄이 소요되어 대량 생산성을 요구하고 있으며, 각각의 부품 중 가공 난이도가 높은 경우는 기존의 기계 절삭가공 및 정밀주조 방식으로는 생산성과 품질을 동시에 충족시키기 어려운 실정이다. 특히 최근에 대두되고 있는 국내 방산제품들의 해외 시장 수출 경쟁력 강화를 위해서는, 생산성의 개선을 통한 원가 절감이 필수적이라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 상기에 언급된 문제의 해결을 위해 유도무기 소형 정밀부품의 MIM(Metal Injection Moulding) 공법 적용 가능성에 대해 연구한다. MIM 공법의 기초연구를 수행하여 공정 설계 간 최적의 공정 조건을 도출하였으며, 이를 적용하여 제작된 자탄신관 소형 정밀부품과 기존 방식으로 제작된 제품의 품질 검사 결과 비교 및 해당 부품이 적용되어 제작된 신관의 기능시험 수행 결과를 통해 MIM 공법의 적용 가능성을 소개한다.
