Hot stamping is widely used to manufacture structural parts to satisfy requirements of eco-friendly vehicles. Recently, hot forming technology using uncoated steel sheet is being studied to reduce cost and solve patent problems. In particular, research is focused on process technology capable of suppressing the generation of an oxide layer. To evaluate the oxide layer in the hot stamping process, Gleeble testing machine can be used to evaluate the oxide layer by controlling the temperature history and the atmosphere condition. At this time, since cooling by gas injection is impossible to protect the oxide layer on the surface of a specimen, research on a method for securing a quenching speed through natural cooling is required. This paper proposes a specimen shape design method to secure a target quenching speed through natural cooling when evaluating the oxide layer of an un-coated boron steel sheet by Gleeble test. For the evaluation of the oxide layer of the un-coated steel sheet through the Gleeble test, dog-bone and rectangular type specimens were used. In consideration of the hot stamping process, the temperature control conditions for the Gleeble test were set and the quenching speed according to the specimen shape design was measured. Finally, the quenching speed sensitivity according to shape parameter was analyzed through regression analysis. A quenching speed prediction equation was then constructed according to the shape of the specimen. The constructed quenching speed prediction equation can be used as a specimen design guideline to secure a target quenching speed when evaluating the oxide layer of an un-coated boron steel sheet by the Gleeble test.

Currently, most high-voltage gas circuit breakers (CBs) include asymmetrical geometries in the shield, the tank, the hot-gas exhaust, and the connection parts for bushings. For this reason, a 3-dimensional (3-D) analysis of the insulation capability is necessary, rather than a 2-D analysis. However, a 3-D analysis has difficulties due to the computational time and complex modeling. This paper presents a 3-D analysis considering the asymmetry in high-voltage gas CBs and a technique to reduce the calculation time. In the proposed technique, the arc plasma requiring the most computational time is first calculated by a 2-D analysis. Then, the results such as pressure, temperature, and velocity are input as a source for the 3-D analysis. This technique is applied to a 145kV self-blast-type CB and the analysis result exhibits good agreement with the experimental result.

This study was designed to fabricate the micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) parts such as micro spur gears using hot extrusion of gas atomized Al-78Zn powders. For this purpose, it is important to develop new methods to fabricate micro-dies and choose suitable extrusion conditions for a micro-forming. Micro-dies with Ni were fabricated by LIGA technology. LIGA technology was capable to produce micro-extrusion dies with close tolerances, thick bearing length and adequate surface quality. Superplastic Al-78Zn powders have the great advantage in achieving deformation under low stresses and exhibiting good micro formability with average strain rates ranging from $10^{-3}$ to $10^{-2}\;s^{-1}$ and constant temperatures ranging from 503 to 563K. Al-78Zn powders were compacted into a cylindrical shape (${\Phi}3{\times}h10$) under compressive force of 10kN and, subsequently, the compacted powders were extruded at 563k in a hot furnace. Micro-extrusion has succeeded in forming micro-gear shafts.

본 연구에서는 측추력기 구성품인 Shutter의 열구조 안전성을 평가하기 위해 단방향 유체-구조 연성해석을 수행하였다. Shutter는 측추력기에서 노즐을 개방시키기 위한 구동 토크와 연소가스의 고온, 고압 열하중을 받는 부품으로 연소가 진행되는 동안 열구조 안전성을 확보하여야만 한다. 유체-구조 연성해석을 위해 측추력기의 연소시간동안 내부 유동장에서 발생하는 연소가스의 압력 및 온도 분포, 대류 열전달계수값을 유동해석을 통해 도출하였고, 이 결과 값을 맵핑 방식을 이용하여 열구조 해석의 하중조건으로 부가하였다. 연소시간동안 Shutter에서 발생되는 최대 응력 및 취약위치, 온도분포를 단위 시간 단위로 분석하여 온도에 따른 소재의 인장강도 값과 비교하여 열구조 안전성을 평가 하였다. 또한 반경 방향 변형량을 분석하여 셔터와 노즐목 간의 적정 간극을 설정하는 근거로 활용하였다.

Ni-base superalloys are used extensively in industry, both in aeroengines and land based turbines. About 60% by weight of most modern gas turbine engine structural components are made of Ni-base superalloys. To satisfy practical demands, the efficiency of gas turbine engines has been steadily and systematically increased by design modifications to handle higher turbine inlet or firing temperatures. However, the increase in operating temperatures has lead to a decrease in the life of components and increase in costs of replacement. Moreover, around 80% of the large frame size industrial/utility gas turbines operating in the world today were installed in the mid-sixties to early seventies and are now 25 to 30 years old. Consequently, there are greater opportunities now to repair and refurbish the older models. Basically, there are two major factors influencing the weldability of the cast alloys: strain-age cracking and liquation cracking. Susceptibility to strain-age cracking is due to the total Ti plus AI content of the alloy; Liquation cracking is due either to the presence of low melting constituents or constitutional liquation of constituents. Though Rene 41 superalloy has 4.5wt.% total Ti and Al content and falls just below the safe limit proposed by Prager et al., controlled grain size and special heat treatments are needed to obtain crack-free welds. Varying heat treatments and filler materials were used in a laboratory study, then the actual welding of service parts was carried out to verity the possibility of crack-tree weld of components fabricated from Rene 41 superalloy. The microstructural observations indicated that there were two kinds of carbides in the FCC matrix. MC carbides were located along the grain boundaries, while M$_{23}$C$_{6}$ carbide was located both inter and intra granularly. Two kinds of filler materials, Rene 41 and Hastelloy X were used to gas tungsten arc weld a patch into the sheet metal, along with varying pre-weld heat treatments. The microstructure, hardness and tensile tests were determined. The service distressed parts were categorized into three classes: with large cracks, with medium cracks and with small or no visible cracks. No significant difference in microstructure among the specimens was observed. Specimens were cut from the corner and the straight edge of the patch repair, away from the corner. The only cracks present were found to be associated with inadequate surface preparation to remove oxidation. Guidelines for oxide removal and the welding procedures developed in the research enabled crack-free welds to be produced.d.

Diesel particulate filter (DPF) is comprised of a number of capillary tubes enclosed by porous ceramic wails, shaped like a plugged duct. Hot gas flows through the DPF along with the exhaust noise from Diesel engine. Based on previous works on the sound propagation through DPF, in this study, losses at entrance, exit, and ceramic walls are considered and the gradients in temperature and flow velocity are considered. Transfer matrix at entrance, monolith, and exit parts are obtained by employing the segmental approach in analyzing the sound propagation through DPF. The predicted transmission loss agrees very well with the empirical one, which is measured by the improved method with correction terms.

From the previous researches about flow characteristic of micro-nozzle, we found that viscosity and back pressure induced heavy losses in micro nozzle. To overcome thess losses, we began to study new conceptual micro propulsion system that is thermal transpiration based micro propulsion system. It has no moving parts and can pump the gaseous propellant by temperature gradient only (cold to hot). Most of previous research on thermal transpiration is in its early stage and mainly studied for application to small vacuum facility or gas chromatography in ambient condition using nanoporous material like aerogel. In this study, we focus on basic research of propulsion system based on thermal transpiration using polyimide material in vacuum conditions.

국내 A 복합발전소에서 운전 중인 150 MW급 가스터빈 저압 1단 회전익의 교체주기 연장가능성을 다각적으로 모색하였다. 제작사가 추천한 24,000 등가운전시간 이상을 사용한 저압 1단 회전익의 외관검사, 열차폐코팅 제거 후 모재의 표면검사 및 균열검사를 각각 실시하였다. 또한 제작사별 150 MW급 가스터빈의 교체주기를 비교 분석하였다. 제작사가 추천한 24,000 등가운전시간 이상이 경과하여 27,000 등가운전시간을 운전한 저압의 외관을 검사한 결과 냉각홀 부위에 다수의 균열이 관찰되었다. 그러나 열차폐코팅을 제거한 상태에서 실시한 모재의 표면검사에서는 균열이 거의 관찰되지 않았으며, 모재까지 진행된 일부 미세 균열에 대해서는 절단면 검사를 통하여 균열깊이가 기능에 영향을 미치지 않는 수준임을 확인하였다. 따라서 본 연구대상 가스터빈 저압 1단 회전익의 교체정비주기는 현행 24,000 등가운전시간에서 3,000 등가운전시간의 연장이 가능할 것으로 보인다. 또한 연구대상 저압 1단 회전익에 대하여 제작사가 추천한 교체주기는 타제작사 1단 회전익 교체주기의 2/3 수준으로 짧게 설정되어 있어 교체주기 연장이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

이 논문의 목적은 LPG 자동차에서 연료누설에 의한 화재관련 사례에 대하여 연구하는 것이다. 첫 번째 사례는, 엔진의 연료 레귤레이터 및 인젝터 사이의 고압호스와 연결되는 연료 라인을 수리한 다음 고정하는 볼트를 규정토크로 조이지 않아 호스가 빠지면서 LP 가스가 누출되어 엔진의 열에 의해 화재가 발생한 것을 확인하였다. 두 번째 사례는, 인젝터를 교환한 다음 흡기매니폴드 유닛의 조립부에 삽입할 때 고정하는 고정부를 점검하지 않고 고정부가 변형되어 휜 상태에서 조립한 결과 연료의 누설을 방지하는 O링이 찢어져 이 사이로 연료가 누출된 것으로 확인되었다. 세 번째 사례는, 연료압력 조절기 유닛에는 연료 차단 솔레노이드 밸브가 연결되어 있는데 수리 후 이 연결 커넥터의 기밀작업을 철저하게 하지 않아서 미세하게 LP 가스가 누설되다가 어느 순간에 많은 양의 가스가 누설되면서 엔진의 열에 의해 화재가 발생된 것을 확인하였다. 따라서, 연료 시스템에 문제가 없는지 철저하게 관리하여 화재의 발생이 최소가 되도록 하여야 한다.
