Nondestructive instrumented indentation test is the method to evaluate the mechanical properties by analyzing load - displacement curve when forming indentation on the surface of the specimen within hundreds of micro-indentation depth. Resistance spot welded samples are known to difficult to measure the local mechanical properties due to the combination of microstructural changes with heat input. Particularly, more difficulties arise to evaluate local mechanical properties of resistance spot welds because of having narrow HAZ, as well as dramatic changed in microstructure and hardness properties across the welds. In this study, evaluation of the local mechanical properties of resistance spot welds was carried out using the characterization of Instrumented Indentation testing. Resistance spot welding were performed for 590MPa DP (Dual Phase) steels and 780MPa TRIP (Transformation Induced Plasticity) steels following ISO 18278-2 condition. Mechanical properties of base metal using tensile test and Instrumented Indentation test showed similar results. Also it is possible to measure local mechanical properties of the center of fusion zone, edge of fusion zone, HAZ and base metal regions by using instrumented indentation test. Therefore, measurement of local mechanical properties using instrumented indentation test is efficient, reliable and relatively simple technique to evaluate the tensile strength, yield strength and hardening exponent.

Purpose: Recently, Issues on security for vehicles are getting increased all around the world. Especially, hood panel needs to be thinner for the protection of pedestrians. But thinner panel makes durability get worse. So, it is needed to satisfy both of them. Methods: Durability effectiveness will be studied because properties and assembly allowance of over-slam bumper mostly affects durability of hood panel. Overlap of over-slam bumper can be made in production line and it can affect durability of spot welding in hood inner panel. Daguchi method is used to catch the condition in which load gets smaller and location, hardness and quantity of overlap are selected to be factors. Durability effectiveness is analyzed with the factors. Result: the mechanism that affects on spot welding is identified. The test was conducted in both open/close and driving condition and the relation between both conditions is analyzed. Conclusion: The test contributed to durability of hood panel with optimization of over-slam bumper.

The antimutagenic effects of apple enzymatic browning reaction products(AEBRP) which resulted from the reaction of catechol, hydroquinone, homocatechol, hydroxyhydroquinone and pyrogallol with polyphenol oxidase extracted from apple(Jona gold) were investigated. Test strain used in SOS spot test and SOS chromotest was E. coli PQ 37/plasmid pKM 101. In SOS spot test, all of five AEBRPs showed strong antimutagenic effects on mytomycin C(MMC), 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide(4NQO), N-me-thyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidlne(MNNG) as increasing concentrations of AEBRP solution. In SOS chromotest, most of AEBRPs also showed strong antimutagenic effects on MMC, MNNG, 4NQO and 3-amino-1,4-dimethyl-5H-pyrido(4,3-b)indole (Trp-P-1), as increasing concentration of AEBRP solution.

Hot spot phenomenon is caused by non-uniform contact area between brake pad and disk frequent braking. Brake disk deformed by locally concentrated heat increases magnitude of frictional vibration. And this deformation can highly influence the judder vibration. In this experimental study, vibration and hot spot was measured in accordance with rotation of disk and pressure of master cylinder for finding the factors that causes hot spot phenomena. For comparing hot spot aspects with mode shapes of disk, mode shapes were measured by conducting modal test, and analyzed by using finite element analysis. Relation between hot spot phenomenon, and mode shape, pressure of master cylinder and rotation speed of disk respectively, was achieved by hot spot measurement and frequency analysis.

Resistance spot welding has been widely used in the sheet metal joining processes because of low cost, high productivity and convenience. Recently, automobile and aerospace industries are trying to replace partly steel sheets with aluminum alloy sheets. But in the case of dissimilar materials, to apply resistance spot welding has been known to be very difficult owing to the effect of melting temperature. On this study, an effort was made to apply spot welding of dissimilar sheet metals, 2024 aluminum alloy and zinc coated steel sheet, evaluate the spot weld quality with tensile-shear strength test and nondestructive evaluation technique, C-scan image methodology. In this study results, as the current below 11 kA, melting of materials is not achieved well. Also as the current exceeds to 13.5 kA, the more spatters happen at welded zone and tensile-shear strength lowered. So, the feasibility of C-scan image technique proposed in the study is found to be suitable evaluation method for resistance spot weldability.
