As demand for high value-added products with hard materials increases, the line center is used for producing high value-added products in many industries such as aerospace, automobile fields. The line center is a key device for smart factory automation that can improve the production efficiency and the productivity. Therefore, the development of a mill-turn line center is necessary to produce high value-added products with complex shapes flexibly. In the mill-turn process, a milling process and a turning process are combined. In particular, the turning process needs to increase the rigidity of the spindle. The purpose of this study is to analyze the thermal-structural stability through thermo-structural coupled analysis for a mill-turn spindle with a curvic coupling. The maximum temperature and thermal stability of the spindle were analyzed by thermal distribution. In addition, the thermal deformation and thermal-structural stability of the spindle were analyzed through thermo-structural coupled analysis.

Large sized marine structures are used under corrosion environment of seawater and applied by severe service loading such as an ocean current, a billow and a tempest. Marine structures are usually constructed by lots of thick wall steel pipes joining welded joints. The thickness of such as steel pipes is usually more than 40mm. The such as steels are called "Thermo-Mechanical Control Process steel (TMCP steel)" strengthened by a heat treatment in process of steel manufactures. The failure, especially crack initiation, of marine structures was starting at weld joints under service condition. Then they should be designed by basis of the fatigue strength under seawater corrosion environment of weld joints. To clarity the fatigue crack initiation behavior is important more than to clarify the crack propagation behavior on the strength design of marine structures, because it is very difficult to find out the crack initiation and propagation phenomena and then even if it will be able to find out, it is considered that the refit of the damaged parts of welded joints have a technical difficulty under the sea. Therefore, it is most important to clarify the corrosion fatigue crack initiation behavior under the seawater condition. But, there is one big difficulty to make a test for thick plate specimen, for example thicker than 40mm. Because, it is need large capacity loading apparatus to test such as thick plate specimen. In this research, the new configuration specimen for fatigue crack initiation tests was proposed. Using this new specimen, it is easy to carry out the fatigue clack initiation tests with relatively low cyclic loading and to observe a fatigue crack initiation behavior.

TMCP(Thermo Mechanical Control Process) steel was continuously cast (CC) by varying the argon gas flow rate and vacuum time in the Ruhrstahl Heraeus (RH) refining process. Using the CC specimens, the distribution of the inclusions and the mechanical properties were evaluated. A lot of oxides and Al-O type inclusions were observed. The average Vickers hardness did not show a constant, but showed dispersion in a certain range. The shape and scale parameters of the CC specimen with an argon gas flow rate of 160Nm³ and a vacuum time of 12 minutes was the best. Mechanical properties (tensile strength, yield strength and elongation) were consistent with the Weibull probability distribution analysis results. The impact resistance was the best for CC specimens with an argon flow rate of 140 Nm³ and a vacuum time of 12 minutes. Although the inclusions and mechanical properties of the CC specimens were evaluated according to the argon gas flow rate and vacuum time, these values were no significant difference.

Vacuum hot pressing has been used for the development of titanium metal matrix composites using foil-fiber-foil technique. Subsequent micro-mechanical characteristics of the composites are then investigated by means of several experimental methods. The levels of consolidation, together with mechanism based failure processes of the materials have been analyzed by employing a thermo-acoustic emission technique. As shown by the results, fiber strength degradation occurs during the consolidation, and particularly residual stresses results from the thermal expansion mismatch between fiber and matrix materials during cooling process are incorporated in the changes of mechanical properties of the finished products. In industrial applications, both qualitative and quantitative evaluations of the material-mechanical characteristics are particularly important, and therefore must be included in process development. The present paper represents a methodology by which this can be achieved.

Thermo-mechanical simulation of the friction stir butt welding process was performed for AA5083-H18 sheets, utilizing commercial FVM code, STAR-CCM+, which is based on Eulerian formulation. Temperature and strain rate histories along the material flow were calculated under the steady state condition and simulated temperature distributions (profiles and peak values) were compared with experiments for verification. It was found that by including proper thermal properties of the backing plate (anvil) the accuracy of the simulation results increased significantly.

Continuous casting process is numerically analyzed using the continuum model in a non-orthogonal coordinate system. Flow damping in the mush is modeled by combining the viscosity dependence on liquid fraction in dilute mush and the permeability dependence on liquid fraction in concentrated mush. The effect of turbulence is indirectly considered by effective diffusivity determined elsewhere by experiment. The main objective is to investigate the effects of casting parameters such as casting speed and tundish superheat on the distribution of surface temperature, shell thickness, metallurgical length and centerline segregation. Some of the computed results are compared with available experiments, and reasonable agreements are obtained.

Recently, a much amount of attention has been paid not only to produce products with precise dimensional accuracy, but also to predict and control the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of parts. Especially, to do the latter through computer simulation, the history of states factors influencing on these evolution such as temperature, strain, strain rate etc., should be calculated and a appropriate mathematical models for the prediction of microstructural evolution must be developed. Thus, in this study thermo-viscoplastic finite element program including the model for predicting microstructural has been developed. Also for the verification of developed program warm forging process for the rotor pole was simulated and the comparison between the results calculated and ones in the literature was made.

In the semiconductor IC(Integrated Circuit) package, the top surface of silicon chip is directly attached to the area of the leadframe with a double-sided adhesive layer, in which the base layer have the upper adhesive layer and the lower adhesive layer. The IC package structure has been known to encounter a thermo-mechanical failure mode such as delamination. This failure mode is due to the residual stress on the adhesive surface of silicon chip and leadframe in the curing-cooling process. The induced thermal stress in the curing process has an influence on the cooling residual stress on the silicon chip and leadframe. In this paper, for the minimization of the chip surface damage, the adhesive topologies on the silicon chip are studied through the finite element analysis(FEA).

In this paper, the stress-strain curves of bearing steels at hot working conditions are obtained by hot compression test with a computer controlled servo-hydraulic Gleeble 3800 testing machine and elongations and reductions of area of the bearing steels are also obtained by hot tensile test with a Gleeble 1500 testing machine. Experiments are conducted under the various strain-rates and temperatures and their results are used to obtain the flow stress information. A rigid thermo-viscoplastic finite element method is applied to the multi-stage hot forging process in order to predict temperature distribution of workpiece. The experimental results and the analysis results are used to obtain an optimal hot forging condition.

This paper presents a study on the influence of different thermo-mechanical processing (TMP) parameters on some required properties such as micro-hardness and Young's modulus of a novel near ${\beta}$ alloy Ti-20.6Nb-13.6Zr-0.5V (TNZV). The TMP scheme comprises of hot working above and below ${\beta}$ phase, solutionizing treatment above and below ${\beta}$ phase coupled with different cooling rates. Factorial design of experiment is used to systematically collect data for micro-hardness and Young's modulus. Validity of assumptions related to the collected data is checked through several diagnostic tests. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) is used to determine the significance of the main and interaction effects. Finally, optimization of the TMP process parameters is also done to achieve optimum values of the micro-hardness and Young's modulus.
