The objective of this study is to evaluate micro end-milling characteristics and tool wear behavior of AlN-hBN composites. First, AlN based composites with hBN contents in the range of 10 to 20vol% were prepared by hot-pressing. Vickers hardness and flexural strength of the prepared composite specimens were measured and compared according to the vol% of hBN variations. Then, cutting force variations were measured and analyzed using a tool dynamometer during the micro end-milling experiments; and machined surface shapes and roughness were investigated using a 3D non-contact type surface profiler. After micro end-milling, worn tools were investigated using a tool microscope and SEM images. From the experimental results, it can be observed that the cutting forces decreased, and surface qualities were improved with increasing hBN contents. At low content of hBN, tool chipping was observed; and tool wear rate decreased with increasing hBN contents. The results of this study insist that proper machining conditions, including tool wear behavior investigation, should be determined for the micro end-milling of AlN-hBN composites for its further application.

The purpose of this research is to assess the performance of CBN and ceramic tools during the dry turning of gray cast iron EN GJL-350. During the turning operation, the variable machining parameters are cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut and type of the cutting material. This contribution consists of two sections, the first one deals with the performance evaluation of four materials in terms of evolution of flank wear, surface roughness (2D and 3D) and cutting forces. The focus of the second section is on statistical analysis, followed by modeling and optimization. The experiments are conducted according to the Taguchi design L₃₂ and based on ANOVA approach to quantify the impact of input factors on the output parameters, namely, the surface roughness (Ra), the cutting force (Fz), the cutting power (Pc), specific cutting energy (Ecs). The RSM method was used to create prediction models of several technical factors (Ra, Fz, Pc, Ecs and MRR). Subsequently, the desirability function approach was used to achieve a multi-objective optimization that encompasses the output parameters simultaneously. The aim is to obtain optimal cutting regimes, following several cases of optimization often encountered in industry. The results found show that the CBN tool is the most efficient cutting material compared to the three ceramics. The optimal combination for the first case where the importance is the same for the different outputs is Vc=660 m/min, f=0.116 mm/rev, ap=0.232 mm and the material CBN. The optimization results have been verified by carrying out confirmation tests.

When producing rice products, it is very important to select suitable raw materials. Therefore, in this study, the quality characteristics of 16 rice cultivars were quantified to determine the criteria for evaluating the machinability of raw rice. The L value, which can affect the color of porridge prepared from rice, was the greatest for Hwaseonchalbyeo (84.17). The water-binding capacity, related to water interaction, was high in Hyangcheola (113.2%), and water solubility was high in Shingil (22.3%). Dodamssal (42.3%, 70.7 RVU) and Hwaseonchalbyeo (4.7%, 27.8 RVU) showed lower final viscosity compared to the cultivars in which the amylose content was medium groups (16.4~21.2%, 173.6~277.2 RVU). Specifically, cultivars with high or low amylose content had a low viscosity. The characteristics of the distribution of raw rice quality data were confirmed through 11 histograms. Furthermore, amylose content vs. water solubility, water solubility vs. peak viscosity, and peak viscosity vs. final viscosity showed high correlations (r=0.542, -0.569, and 0.836 respectively, p<0.01), and clear cultivar discrimination by the standard error of the mean (0.765~10.811). In conclusion, amylose content, water solubility, and peak viscosity were considered the most suitable characteristics for the quality evaluation of raw rice.

The diagnostic multi-leaf collimator preventing unnecessary dose from entering into patients during the diagnostic examination was made in this study. The movement of the entire 50 leaves was embodied with the group of 25 ones thereof configured in a pair facing each other on the left and right of the median line. Dimensions of the length, width, and height of each shielding leaf were $5{\times}0.5{\times}0.5cm^3$ resulting in the maximum boost field of $10{\times}10cm^2$. The material of multi-leaf collimator had the excellence on the machinability with the use of the SKD-11 alloy tool steel having the high wear resistance against frequent movement, and it was devised to control both-side's shielding leaves by moving 2 motors unlike existing remedial multi-leaf collimator that use as many motors as the number of 50 shielding leaves. Thereafter, the transmission dose of leaves, cross-leaf leakage dose, and inter-leaf leakage dose were measured by the developed multi-leaf collimator attached to X-ray equipment. An ionization chamber was used to detect doses there from, and the comparative analysis was carried out by means of the radiographic film that was easy to detect the dose leakage in between each leaf. Results obtained from the test conducted in comparative analysis yielded approximately 98%, 96%, and 94% of shielding efficiency realized at each level of energy of 80kV, 100kV, and 120kV it was confirmed there was no dose leakage resulted from the varied level of irradiation energy. Thus the multi-leaf collimator to be developed based on this study is thought that it could fully reduce the unnecessary dose to patients in the diagnostic test and the shielding efficiency thereof is expected to be increasing if it is made in a miniaturized form with a way of increasing the thickness of each leaf later for an extended application to general diagnostic purposes.

현재 Neck CT의 경우 Thyroid와 같은 표재성 장기의 피폭을 줄이기 위해 Bismuth 차폐체를 많이 사용하고 있다. 그러나 Bismuth 차폐체의 경우 표재성 장기 부근에서 선속 경화현상이 많이 발생하고 CT Number, Noise, Uniformity값의 변동이 심하게 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 주위에서 쉽게 구할 수 있고 가공성이 좋은 Aluminum과 Silicone을 이용하여 기존의 Bismuth 차폐체와 비교하여 차폐체로서의 유용성을 알아보았다. Bismuth(0.06 mmPb)와 차폐율이 비슷한 두께의 Aluminum 7.3mm와 Silicone 21.5mm를 제작하였다. 팬텀(RS-108T)의 Thyroid부근에 TLD(TLD-100)을 올려놓고 각각 5회씩 선량을 측정하였다. 화질 비교를 위해 Neck CT 영상에서 Thyroid 부근 axial영상의 CT Number와 Noise의 변화를 비교하였다. 그리고AAPM팬텀의 영상에서 각각 CT Number와 Noise, Uniformity의 변화를 측정하여 비교하였다. 결과에서 Thyroid에 대한 차폐체별 선량 비교에서 Non-Shield에 비해 Bismuth 차폐체가 14%, Silicone 21.5mm 15%, Aluminum 7.3mm 13%가 감소되었다. 통계적으로 Bismuth 차폐체와 유의한 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다. Thyroid 부근 영상의 CT Number의 변화에서는 Bismuth 차폐체의 변동이 가장 크게 나타났다. AAPM팬텀 영상평가의 Uniformity 평가에서는 Bismuth차폐체는 부적합으로 Aluminum 7.3mm와 Silicone 21.5mm은 합격기준을 만족하였다. 연구결과 현재 임상에 사용되고 있는 고가의 Bismuth 차폐체와 비교하여 차폐율에서 Aluminum 7.3mm와 Silicone 21.5mm은 비슷한 차폐율을 나타냈으며, 팬텀 영상평가의 항목인 CT Number의 감약 계수 변동, Noise, Uniformity의 비교 실험에서 Bismuth 차폐체보다 우수하게 나타났다. Aluminum과 Silicone을 이용하여 표재성 장기의 크기에 맞게 다양한 차폐체를 만들어 사용한다면 환자 선량을 감쇠시키는데 유용할 것으로 판단된다.
