Magnesium alloys are expected to be widely used fur the parts of structural and electronic appliances due to their lightweight and EMI shielding characteristics. While the die casting has been mainly used to manufacture the parts from the magnesium alloys, the press forming is considered as an alternative to the die casting for saving the manufacturing cost and improving the structural strength of the magnesium alloy parts. However, the magnesium alloy has low formability at room temperature and therefore, in many cases, forming at elevated temperatures is necessary to obtain the required material flow without failure. In the present study, square cup deep drawing tests using the magnesium alloy AZ31 sheet were experimentally conducted at various elevated temperatures as well as room temperature, and the corresponding finite-element simulations, which calculated the damage evolution based on the Oyane's criterion, were conducted using the stress-strain relations from the tensile tests at various temperatures. The formability predictability by the finite-element analysis was investigated by comparing the predicted damage distributions over the deformed AZ31 sheet at elevated temperatures with the corresponding experimental deformations with failures.

This study introduces a lead-free alternative for enhanced radiation protection. While lead aprons effectively attenuate ionizing radiation, concerns regarding flexibility, weight, and environmental hazards persist. In response, the present research is focused on producing an innovative sheet shielding comprised of carefully selected dense metal oxide microparticles (DMOs-MPs) and liquid silicone rubber (LSR). To evaluate the efficacy of the LSR samples, the current study uses rigorous testing procedures, such as microstructure characterization using EDX and FESEM. Furthermore, the study investigated key attenuation parameters within the LSR samples. Radiation protection was greatly and effectively supplied using DMOs-MPs filler (Bi-1 to Bi-7) in LSR samples; this protection reached 99.9% in the X-ray energy range. Due to the unique characteristics of the Bi-7, the results demonstrated that the samples' shielding efficiency improved with the addition of high atomic number and high-density fillers. It had the greatest attenuation coefficient and density. At 60 keV, Bi-7's density was 2.980 gcm^-3, and its LAC and MAC were 19.2621 cm^-1 and 6.4638 cm²/g, respectively. It also had the lowest half-value layer values in the energy range of 60-120 keV. The LSR samples showed effective radiation absorption for different energy levels, indicating that LSR can enhance the flexibility and comfort of the apron while providing adequate radiation protection. The incorporation of the DMOs-MPs with LSR represents an effective contribution and a noteworthy stride to enhance the safety and well-being of medical professionals routinely exposed to ionizing radiation.

This research was conducted as a fundamental study to apply tailored blank welding technique into automotive production process. Specially we tried to apply the TWB technique to exhaust system. The materials used in this work were ferritic 439 stainless steel sheet with a thickness of 1.2mm and 0.8mm. Welding tests were conducted for BOP test and dissimilar thickness (0.8 to 1.2t) cases. Major process parameters were position of focus, travel speed, shielding gas and joint (gap) condition. As a result, there are nothing significant welding characteristic compare with TWB of carbon steel. Stainless steel shows the good weldability and mechanical properties (tensile, hardness and forming strength) also shows high level. Just problem is gap condition. However, also in this case, it shows not only good forming strength but also base metal fracture after tensile test. And to conclude, it is good opportunity to make lightweight design muffler using TB welding technique.

Electromagnetic interference shielding and near-infrared cutoff filters for plasma display panel application were designed and fabricated by radio frequency magnetron sputtering. Three types of the filters were prepared: the basic structure of type A consisted of [$TiO_2$ Ti Ag $TiO_2$]; type B, of [$TiO_2$ ITO Ag $TiO_2$]; type C, of [$TiO_2$ ITO Ag ITO $TiO_2$]. Ti and ITO layers deposited on Ag layers were employed as barriers to prevent the oxidation and the diffusion of Ag film into the adjacent oxide layers. Optical, electrical, chemical, and structural properties were investigated, and the result shows that the filters with the ITO barrier layers provided an enhancement in transmittance in the visible owing to a lower absorption of ITO layers than Ti layers. Type C filter showed better optical and electrical performances and smoother surface roughness than Type B and C filters: the average sheet resistance was as low as 1.51 $\Omega\Box$ (where $\square$ stands for a square film), the peak transmittance in the visible was as high as 78.2 %, and the average surface roughness was 1.48 nm.

High welding speed and narrow weld seam are favorable for welding of magnesium alloy. Magnesium alloy is recommended for the smart frame because it has several advantages such as low density, high thermal conductivity, EMI shielding capability and good cast ability. This study is for the assembly welding of the magnesium smart frame with high productivity, good performance and low cost. The window for battery on AZ91D frame produced by die-casting was prepared by CNC machining. Corresponding AZ31 blank of 0.2mm thickness was prepared by die-blanking cut. All system set was fixed at the stationary bed but the laser beam was manipulated by scanner up-to 1,000mm/s speed. The weld joint between AZ31 sheet and AZ91D frame was welded by fiber laser on 850~1,000W output power. The joint showed penetration enough but some humping bead. The distortion by the weld heat was almost free because of the quick dissipation of the heat by small beam size and fast welding. Consequently, the thinner magnesium foil was assembled successfully to the magnesium frame of mobile phone.

현재 의료분야에서는 방사선 차폐체로서 납(Pb)이 널리 쓰이고 있다. 하지만 납은 무게가 매우 무거워 납치마 등의 방호복은 장시간 착용이 어려우며, 인체에 치명적인 납 중독의 위험이 상시 가지고 있다는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 납을 대체 할 수 있는 물질에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 현재 납의 대체물질로써 대표적인 바륨(Ba)과 요오드(I) 등은 우수한 차폐능을 가지고 있지만, 30keV 근처의 에너지 영역에서 특성 X선을 방출하는 특성을 가지고 있다. 환자나 방사선 종사자의 경우 차폐체를 인체에 접촉하고 있는 경우가 많으므로 차폐체에서 발생되는 특성 X선이 인체에 직접 조사되어 방사선 피폭을 증가시킬 위험이 매우 높다. 본 연구에서는 바륨(Ba)과 요오드(I)등에서 발생되는 특성 X선을 제거하기에 적절한 이중구조 차폐체를 방사선 수송코드 중 하나인 FLUKA 수송코드를 개발하여 선행연구로서 진행된 MCNPX 시뮬레이션과 비교 분석하여 이중구조 차폐체의 차폐율에 대한 신뢰성을 검증하고자 하였다. MCNPX와 FLUKA를 이용하여 황산바륨($BaSO_4$)과 산화비스무스($Bi_2O_3$)로 이루어진 다양한 두께조합의 이중구조 차폐체를 설계하였으며, IEC61331-1에 제시된 모식도를 기하학적으로 동일하게 시뮬레이션 상에 구현하였다. 또한, 120 kVp의 연속 X선 스펙트럼에 대한 차폐체의 투과스펙트럼과 흡수선량을 납과 비교 평가하였다. 평가결과, $0.3mm-BaSO_4/0.3mm-Bi_2O_3$ 와 $0.1mm-BaSO_4/0.5mm-Bi_2O_3$ 구조에서는 33 keV와 37 keV의 특성 X선을 모두 흡수하였으며, 90 keV 이상의 고에너지 X선에 대해서도 납과 거의 유사한 차폐효율을 보였다. 또한, FLUKA의 수송코드는 33 keV 이하에서는 cut-off 가 발생하여 저에너지 X선 광자에 대한 전산모사에 제약이 있지만, 40 keV 이상의 고에너지 영역에서 MCNPX와의 상대오차가 6 % 이내로 신뢰성이 매우 우수하다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

흉부 및 복부 CT 검사 시 산란선에 의한 안구와 갑상선의 방사선 피폭선량을 측정하고, 피폭선량의 감소를 위해 차폐체를 사용함으로써 방사선 피폭 정도를 조사하였다. 임상에서 사용되는 흉부 및 복부 CT 검사 프로토콜을 적용하여 안구와 갑상선의 차폐체 사용 전과 후의 선량을 측정하여 비교하였다. 안구와 갑상선의 표면선량은 OSLD를 사용하여 측정하였다. 산란선을 차폐하기 위해 바륨, 텅스텐 시트와 고글과 목 차폐체를 사용하였다. 흉부 CT 스캔 시 차폐를 하지 않고 스캔한 안구는 3.01 mSv, 갑상선은 6.21 mSv로 측정 되었고 복부 CT 스캔 시 차폐를 하지 않고 스캔한 안구는 0.55 mSv, 갑상선은 3.22 mSv를 나타내었다. 바륨과 텅스텐 시트는 흉부 CT 검사 시 안구와 갑상선의 차폐율이 11~13%이었고, 복부 CT 검사 시에는 34~49%까지 방사선 피폭의 저감 효과가 있었다. 흉부 및 복부 CT 검사 시 방사선 피폭 정도가 상당하기 때문에 검사가 반복, 지속적으로 이루어진다면 방사선 피폭으로 인해 갑상선 암, 백내장 등 방사선 위해가 발생할 가능성이 있어 검사 시 차폐체를 사용하는 것이 요구된다.

Main component of radiography barrier aprons is lead. To manufacture a lead-free barrier sheath, barium sulfate and organic iodine-based chemicals should be mixed with rubber. Barrier capacity was tested in the medical field. To improve adaptation of rubber with the mixture, raw materials went through milling, agitation, and extruding processes. Three sheaths were manufactured with 30%, 80%, and 120% sulfate barium, respectively. This study found 10% lower barrier capacity of lead-free barrier than the traditional lead-containing rubber sheath. Problems, however, were confronted during the agitation and extruding processes. Mixing with rubber was a technically demanding job. Inconsistent depth, problems with thermal processing and dissipation were encountered as well.
