The purpose of this study is to establish the predictive method of the angular distortion caused by the line heating process with high frequency induction heating. In order to do it, the heat input model for the high frequency induction heating system was established through comparing the temperature evaluation results obtained by both FEA and experiment. The critical heating conditions to prevent the degradation of the work piece with various thicknesses were identified by FEA and microstructure test results. Under the critical heating conditions, the extensive line heating tests were performed. According to the test results, it was found that the angular distortion behavior of the heated plates could be defined as the function of heat intensity and the rigidity of heated plate. In addition, it was clarified that the angular distortion strongly depended on the size of test specimen such as the length and the width of the heated plate. Based on these results, the predictive equation for the angular distortion was established with the function of heat intensity, bending rigidity and size of heated plate.

This article describes the basic engineering concepts to be considered in the application of an induction heating furnace in the hot-dip galvanizing line. Experience in the Dongkuk project in Pohang, has shown that this arrangement has many advantages over the conventional method of using a combustion-gas heated furnace. Investment and operating costs are lower, the line length is much shorter, line operation is more convenient, air pollution is reduced, and the coated strip at of top-quality. As these benefits become well known, it is anticipated that the concept of induction heating will be more widely used in both new and revamped process lines. Induction heating is suitable for the production of Commercial Quality hot galvanized coils. More research is required to extend the present concept to the production of higher forming grades such as Drawing, Deep Drawing and Extra Deep Drawing Quality steels. A combination of induction heating and combustion-gas heating may lead to the way to the processing of these qualities of strip.

This paper is concerned with investigating the plastic material properties of steel plate formed by line heating method, and is aimed at implementing more rational design considering the accidental limit states such as collision or grounding. For the present study, line heating test for marine grade steel plate has been carried out with varying plate thickness and heating speed, and then microscopic examination and tensile test have been carried out. From the microscopic, it is found that the grain refined zones like ferrite and pearlite are formed all around the heat affected zone. From the tensile test results, it is seen that yield strength, tensile strength, fracture strain, hardening exponent and strength coefficient vary with plate thickness and heat input quantity. The formulae relating the material properties and heat input parameter should be, therefore, derived for the design purpose considering the accidental impact loading. This paper ends with describing the extension of the present study.

In this study we developed the electrical heating mold core by applying three different heating methods. In order to find out the optimal heating method, we observed the temperature profiles with time. We also injection-molded the parts by the heating methods and investigated the shrinkage ratio, density, surface roughness and weld-lines. The temperature rise time and cycle time showed the promising results for commercial applications(the rise time is $130^{\circ}C$/14sec, the cycle time is 55sec). By comparing with the conventional and gas flame heating method, the parts by this method were proven to have good qualities. The shrinkage ratio reduced by 5.1%, the density increase by 2.66%, the smoothness increased about 3 times, and the weld-line did not observed by naked eyes.

In Line Heating method, heating line is determined by kinematics analysis. But the heating line, which is solved by kinematics analysis, doesn't verify by the point of physical analysis and the choice problem in many heating line doesn't determine. In this paper, the simulator is developed. When we get the processing information at the kinematics analysis, simulator can estimate the shape of deformed plate that process along the processing information. When we get the initial shape and the object shape, we calculate the processing information first, using kinematics analysis. In a simulator, we estimate deformed shape from the processing information. After this we compare deformed shape and object shape. If the error of deformed shape and object shape is in the proper limits, that information is determined the final processing information. Else we repeat the process changing variables.

In the line heating for the plate forming of a ship's hull, an in line assessment of completion is necessary for an automated production system. In the current curved plate forming process, a fabricated plate is compared to a template that is made in the mold loft and is used for the determination of the heating line for the next step. In this paper, a new method is presented for the in line assessment of completion for curved plate forming. This method uses a 3-D scanner. For the registration of the scanned data for a surface and the target surface, the ICP (Iterative Closest Points) method was adopted. A computer program was developed to carry out the registration, check for similarities, visualize the surface, and control the results. This program was applied to a sample curved plate forming process.

The line heating method is a popular technique used to form ship hull in shipyards. In order to promote shipbuilding productivity, some researchers have made progress in their studies on automatic fabrication system for plate forming. These researches have, however, focused on heat-induced plate deformation with particular mechanical modelings, and do not yet propose the heating paths applicable to actual plate forming process. In this paper, a new algorithm to determine heating lines is developed to simulate the line heating process. The important feature of this algorithm is that it calculates principal curvatures of deflection difference surface which represents difference between target surface and surface in fabrication. Several trials to typical surface types show its usefulness and good applicability to tactical use.

The line heating is a thermoplastic working technique which is used in bending work of steel plate and in correcting the distortion of welded structure. This method is considerably effective when the water-cooling is followed. In this study, an investigation was accomplished to find the effects on the change of material properties when the line heating was applied on the high tensile steel plate of 50kg/mm^2$ grade. Some steel plates were heated to various temperatures and then cooled with water or in the air. In this study, the author measured the angular distortion continuously during line heating to find out the relation between the bending efficiency and heating or water-cooling temperature. Furthermore, its material properties were examined by the V-notch Charpy impact test, the microscope observation and the Vickers hardness test. As results, the followings were clarified. (1) The amount of angular distortion increases as the heating temperature or the water-cooling temperature rises. (2) When the steel plate is heated between 700.deg. C and 900.deg. C, and then is water-cooled over 700.deg. C, some brittle structure is observed. But if the temperature of water-cooling is below 700.deg. C, no brittle one is found. (3) When the steel plate is heated over 800.deg. C and is cooled in the air, there is no unfavrable effect.

The line heating methods is very widely employed to correct deformation of thin plate structures. In this study, evaluation was carried out on the temperature distribution of line heating methods using FEA and practical experiments. In FEA, heat input model was established using Tsuji's double Gaussian heat input mode. This model was verified by comparing with experimental data. Thermo elasto-plastic analysis was performed using commercial FE code, MSC/MARC. Transverse shrinkage and angular distortion were measured using 3D measuring apparatus. Based on these results, a simplified analysis method is applied by using equivalent loading method.

This paper presents a hermetic MEMS on-chip package bonded by a closed-loop AuSn solder-line. We design three different package specimens, including a substrate heated specimen without interconnection-line (SHX), a substrate heated specimen with interconnection-line (SHI) and a locally heated specimen with interconnection-line (LHI). Pressurized helium leak test has been carried out for hermetic seal evaluation in addition to the critical pressure test for bonding strength measurement. Substrate heating method (SHX, SHI) requires the bonding time of 40min. at 400min, while local heating method (LHI) requires 4 min. at the heating power of 6.76W. In the hermetic seal test. SHX, SHI and LHI show the leak rates of 5.4$\pm$6.7${\times}$$^{-10}$ mbar-l/s, 13.5$\pm$9.8${\times}$$^{-10}$ mbar-l/s and 18.5$\pm$9.9${\times}$$^{-10}$ mbar-l/s, respectively, for an identical package chamber volume of 6.89$\pm$0.2${\times}$$^{-10}$. In the critical pressure test, no fracture is found in the bonded specimens up to the applied pressure of 1$\pm$0.1MPa, resulting in the minimum bonding strength of 3.53$\pm$0.07MPa. We find that the present on-chip packaging using a closed AuSn solder-line shows strong potential for hermetic MEMS packaging with interconnection-line due to the hermetic seal performance and the shorter bonding time for mass production.
