Inertia friction welding, a relatively recent innovation in the art of joining materials, is a forge-welding process that releases kinetic energy stored in the flywheel as frictional heat when two parts are rubbed together under the right conditions. In a comparatively short time, the process has become a reliable method for joining ferrous, and dissimilar metals. The process is based on thrusting one part, attached to a flywheel and rotating at a relatively high speed, against a stationary part. The contacting surfaces, heated to plastic temperatures, are forged together to produce a reliable, high-strength weld. Welds are made with little or no workpiece preparation and without filler metal or fluxes. However, In order to obtain a good weld, the determination of the optimum weld parameters is an important problem. Especially, because the amount of the flywheel mass will be determined according to the initial rotating velocity values at the constant thrust load, the initial rotating velocity is an important factor to affect a weld character of the inertia-welded IN713C-SAE8630, which is used for the wheel-shafts of turbine rotors or turbochargers, exhausting valves, etc. In this paper, the effects of initial rotational velocity on a weld character of inertia-welded IN713C-SAE8630 was studied through considerations of weld parameters determination, micro-structural observations and tensile tests. The results are as the following: 1) As initial rotating velocity was reduced to 267 FPM, cracks and carbide stringers were completely eliminated in the micro-structure of welded zone. 2) As initial rotating velocity was reduced and flywheel mass was increased correspondingly, the maximum welding temperatures were decreased and the plastic working in the weld zone was increased. 3) As initial rotating velocity was progressively decreased and carbides were decreased, the tensile strengths were increased. 4) And also the fracture location moved out of the weld zone and the tensile tests produced, the failures only in the cast superalloy IN713C which do not extend into the weld area. 5) The proper initial rotating velocity could be determined as about 250 thru 350 FPM for the better weld character.

Recently, metal molding has become essential not only for automobile parts, but also mass production, and has greatly influenced production costs as well as the quality of products. Its surface has been treated by carburizing, nitriding and induction hardening, but these existing treatments cause considerable deformation and increase the expense of postprocessing after treatment; furthermore, these treatments cannot be easily applied to parts that requiring the hardening of only a certain section. This is because the treatment cannot heat the material homogeneously, nor can it heat all of it. Laser surface treatment was developed to overcome these disadvantages, and, when the laser beam is irradiated on the surface and laser speed is appropriate, the laser focal position is rapidly heated and the thermal energy of surface penetrates the material after irradiation, finally imbuing it with a new mechanical characteristic by the process of self-quenching. This research estimates the material characteristic after efficient and functional surface treatment using HPDL, which is more efficient than the existing CW Nd:YAG laser heat source. To estimate this, microstructural changes and hardness characteristics of three parts (the surface treatment part, heat affect zone, and parental material) are observed with the change of laser beam speed and surface temperature. Moreover, the depth of the hardened area is observed with the change of the laser beam speed and temperature.

순환유동층 보일러에서 유동 입자들의 순환 경로는 연소로에서 비산된 입자들이 사이클론에서 포집되어 비기계적 밸브인 실포트(Sealpot)를 거쳐 연소로로 재순환하는 일반적인 경로를 갖는다. 그러나, 유동 입자들로부터 열을 추가적으로 흡수하기 위해 유동층 외부열교환기(FBHE; Fluidized Bed Heat Exchanger)가 설치된 경우, 실포트의 일부 입자들은 FBHE를 거쳐 연소로로 재순환하는 경로를 갖게 된다. 이때 기포유동층 영역으로 운전되는 FBHE는 실포트로부터 유입되는 고온(800~950 ℃)의 입자들의 유동 특성에 따라 열교환 튜브의 국부적 가열로 인한 손상 및 hot spot에 의한 입자들의 고온 뭉침(agglomeration)이 발생할 수 있어 순환유동층의 안정적 조업에 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 국내 D 순환유동층 보일러의 FBHE에 대한 운전자료 분석 및 바라쿠다를 통한 CPFD(Computational Particle Fluid Dynamics) 해석을 통해 구조적 문제로부터 발생하는 열흐름의 불균일성을 밝혀내었다. 실제 D 순환유동층의 FBHE 열교환 튜브 온도는 실포트의 고체온도 변화와 가장 밀접한 상관관계를 나타내었으며, FBHE 내의 열흐름의 불균일성은 FBHE의 조업 유속의 증가(0.3→0.7 m/s)로는 그 불균일성을 해소하기 어려운 것으로 나타났다. 그러나, FBHE로 유입되는 고온 입자들에 대한 사전 혼합 영역(Premixing Zone)이 설치된 경우와, 연소로로 재순환되는 입자 배출 라인의 대칭화를 통한 구조변경 시, 입자 혼합의 증대와 더불어 열흐름의 불균일성은 상당 부분 감소하는 것으로 고찰되었다. 이에, FBHE의 구조 최적화가 열교환 성능 및 운전 안정성을 확보하는 대안임을 제시하였다.

본 시험의 목적은 온실의 주년계획이용을 위해서 하기주간 냉방의 방법으로 heat pump를 이용한 냉수냉방과세무냉방의 효율성을 검사했고 하기 토마토 배꼽썩음병 발생을 억제하기 위하여 냉방과 함께 과실에 송풍처리와 식물체 전체의 공기유동을 촉진시켜주는 처리를 했다. 시험결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 냉수냉방구간 기온은 13시경 온실내 기온보다 약 1$0^{\circ}C$이상 낮았고, 세무냉방구간 하부의 기온은 13시경 온실내 기온보다 약 5$^{\circ}C$ 낮았다. 2) 과실에 송풍처리는 냉방방법에 상관없이 배꼽썩음병이 방지됐고, 냉수냉방 무송풍구의 배꼽썩음병 발생율은 34.5%, 세무냉방 무송풍구는 54.5%, 세무순환냉방구는 78%였다. 냉방효율면에서는 냉수냉방 방법이 충분히 생육한계온도 이하로 냉각되었고, 배꼽썩음병 발생율에서도 세무냉방보다 낮았다. 세무냉방은 재배구간의 공기를 유동시킴으로서 약 24%증가했다. 그러므로 토마토 배꼽썩음병 발생에 관한 환경요인은 온도보다는 습도가 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 생각되어진다.

Recently, as titanium and titanium alloys are being increasingly used in wide areas, there are on-going researches to obtain high quality weld zone. In particular, growing interest is being drawn to laser welding, which involves low heat input and large aspect ratio in various welding processes and can facilitate shield in atmospheric condition compared with electron beam welding. The first report covered the analysis of embrittlement by the bead color of weld zone through quantitative analysis of oxygen and nitrogen and measurement of hardness as basic experiment to apply laser welding to titanium. Results indicated that the element that affect embrittlement the most was nitrogen, and as embrittlement and oxygenation go on, bead color changed to silver, gold, brown, blue and gray. This study performed butt welding of pure titanium and STS304 by using 1kW CW Nd:YAG laser, and to find out basic physical properties, evaluated welding performance by laser output, welding speed, root gap and misalignment etc, and examined mechanical properties through tensile stress and Erichsen test. The reason particles of pure titanium welded metal and HAZ are greater than STS304 is because they are pure metal and do not include many impure elements that work as nuclei in case of resolidification, thus becoming coarse columnar crystals eventually. In addition, the reason STS304 requires more energy during welding than pure titanium is because the particle size of base metal is smaller.

Friction Stir Welding (FSW) is a complex process with several mutually interdependent parameters. A slight difference from known settings may lead to imperfections in the stirred zone. These inhomogeneities affect on the mechanical properties of the FSWed joints. In order to prevent the failure of the welded joint it is necessary to detect the most critical defects non-destructive. Especially critical defects are wormhole and lack of penetration (LOP), because of the difficulty of detection. Online thermography is used process-accompanying for defect detecting. A thermographic camera with a fixed position relating to the welding tool measures the heating-up and the cool down of the welding process. Lap joints with sound weld seam surfaces are manufactured and monitored. Different methods of evaluation of heat distribution and intensity profiles are introduced. It can be demonstrated, that it is possible to detect wormhole and lack of penetration as well as surface defects by analyzing the welding and the cooling process of friction stir welding by passive online thermography measurement. Effects of these defects on mechanical properties are shown by tensile testing.

Although weld-induced deformation is inevitable in shipbuilding, it is important to reduce it as low as possible during fabrication for a more efficient production of ships' blocks. The weld-induced deformation is more serious in thin plates than in thick plates because heat affect zone of thin plates is wider than that of thick plates, and in addition internal and external constraints much more influence upon weld-induced deformation of thin plates. This paper deals with the application of the mechanical tensioning method to butt weld of thin plates to reduce the transverse and longitudinal deformation. in order to investigate the quantitative effect of tensioning method upon the reduction of angular deformation and shrinkage in longitudinal and transverse direction of weld line, butt welding test have been carried out for several thin plate specimens with varying plate thickness and magnitude of tensile load. Numerical simulation has been also carried out to compare the weld-induced deformation and residual stress. From the present study, it has been found that the tensioning method is very effective on reduction of weld-induced residual stress as well as weld-induced deformation.

The electroconvection generated on the surface of an ion exchange membrane (IEM) is closely related to the electrical/chemical characteristics or topology of the IEM. In particular, when non-conductive regions are mixed on the surface of the IEM, it can have a great influence on the transfer of ions and the formation of nonlinear electroconvective vortices, so more theoretical and experimental studies are necessary. Here, we present a novel method for creating microscale non-conductive patterns on the IEM surface by laser ablation, and successfully visualize microscale vortices on the surface modified IEM. Microscale (~300 ㎛) patterns were fabricated by applying UV nanosecond laser processing to the non-conductive film, and were transferred to the surface of the IEM. In addition, UV nanosecond laser process parameters were investigated for obvious micro-pattern production, and operating conditions were optimized, such as minimizing the heat-affected zone. Through this study, we found that non-conductive patterns on the IEM surface could affect the generation and growth of electroconvective vortices. The experimental results provided in our study are expected to be a good reference for research related to the surface modification of IEMs, and are expected to be helpful for new engineering applications of electroconvective vortices using a non-conductive patterned IEM.
