Although wear resistance of material improves with increasing its hardness, it is known that the wear resistance of steel is varied with hardness of counter material. In this context, wear properties of steel must be depended on the difference of hardness between the testpiece and the counter material. In this study, using the pin-on-disc type wear machine, annealed carbon steels were tested against ahoy tool steels with various levels of hardness. Then the changes of wear properties of carbon steel according to the hardness of counter material were investigated and the morphology of worn surface after test were evaluated. The results indicate that if there are no remarkable difference of hardness between them, wear resistance of carbon steel in running-in wear decreases with increasing the hardness of counter material. However, its wear properties at the range of high sliding speed have no relation with hardness of counter material. It is clear that wear properties is influenced by the formation of oxide of steel on their worn surface during wear.

The growth of the AR/VR market due to the advent of the 4th Industrial Revolution begins with the development of the display industry. The development of OLED and flexible displays is further accelerated by the development of R2R technology. Micro-processing technology using a fast tool servo (FTS), the core technology in R2R processes, is making technological progress in increasingly diverse ways. This paper proposes a method to develop an FTS for horizontal driving and presents this method through experiments and analyses. To develop a swing-type FTS based on a seesaw motion, a rotational moment hinge structure was designed for each type, and research was conducted to determine an effective design method. A cantilever-based swing-type FTS was developed in two variations: one with single-side hinges and another with dual-side hinges. The parameters in the design of the swing-type FTS are rotational moment, natural frequency, and material selection. In conclusion, an FTS with a single-side hinge demonstrates the high performance required for micro processing.

This paper provides a new method for hybrid machining, particularly suited to micro fabrication applications such as micro point, micro line, micro structure, micro partition and so on. Developed micro fabrication process by electrical discharge machining (EDM) and electrical discharge deposition (EDD) with metal powder (Ti, Fe) has been studied to build TiC or FeC structure. Titanium powder or iron powder is supplied from working fluid (kerosene or de-ionized water with powder) and adheres on a workpiece by the heat and electric power caused by the electrical discharge. The use of a tool electrode is expected to keep powder concentration high in the gap between a workpiece and a tool electrode and to accrete powder material on the workpiece. The deposition is tried under various electrical conditions (workpiece. tool electrode, working fluid, discharge current, voltage and powder etc.). On the other hand. using electrical discharge machining (EDM) with the same tool electrode, it can be used as a removal process (cutting) by electro erosion at the same time. Therefore. this new method can do a hybrid machining to build up and down a structure with the workpiece.

Titanium alloy has been widely used in the aerospace industry because of its high strength and good corrosion resistance. During cutting, the low thermal conductivity and high chemical reactivity of titanium generate a high cutting temperature and accelerates tool wear. To improve cutting tool life, cryogenic machining by using a liquid nitrogen (LN2) jet is suggested. In cryogenic jet cooling, evaporation of LN2 in the tank and transfer tube could cause pressure fluctuation and change the cooling rate. In this work, cooling uniformity is investigated in terms of liquid nitrogen jet pressure in cryogenic jet cooling during titanium alloy turning. Fluctuation of jet spraying pressure causes tool temperature to fluctuate. It is possible to suppress the fluctuation of the jet pressure and improve cooling by using a phase separator. Measuring tool temperature shows that consistent LN2 jet pressure improves cryogenic cooling uniformity.

In the use of CNC machine tool, the unmanned production system has been growing in the manufacturing field. Thus, it is necessary to monitor adequate tool fracture during the cutting process efficiently. This experimental study is intended to investigate the development of flank wear in sysnchronous turning of differential materials(Aℓ/GC) which is used in industrial application and it is acknowledged as a machine to difficult material. In cutting process change of velocity, change of feed, and change of depth of cut were investigated on the effect of flank wear, and slenderness ratio is also investigated. The conclusions of this paper are summarized as follows; 1.Under the high cutting speed condition, the flank wear is affected by the feed and depth of cut. but the influence of feed on the flank wear is larger than the depth of cut and that is reduced when the velocity is low. 2.Under the high cutting speed, as the smaller slenderness ratio is, the shorter tool life is under the lower cutting speed, the effect of slenderness ratio on the flank wear is low. 3.Using the characteristics of cutting force, the flank wear of a tool can be detected 4. Investigating the development of flank wear, there are almost no differences between the characteristics of cutting force and feed force. Finally, these data from the differntial materials cutting process will be used in the basic field of precision and economic cutting process.

High speed machining is one of the most effective technologies to improve productivity. It can give great advantage for manufacture of die and Moulds. However, when machining of micro groove in high speed machining a severely thermal damage was generated on workpiece and cutting tool. Generally, the cutting fluid is used to improve penetration. lubrication. and cooling effect. In order to rise the performance of lubrication. it contains extreme pressure agents (Cl, S, P). But the environment of work room go bad by those additive. Therefore, the compressed chilly air with oil mist system was developed to replace the conventional cutting fluid system. This paper carried out the tests to evaluate the machinability by the cutting environment in high speed micro groove machining of NAK80 (HrC40). Compressed chilly air with oil mist was ejected on the contact area between cutting edge and workpiece. The effect of this developed compressed chilly air with oil mist system was evaluated in terms of tool life. The results showed that the tool lift of carbide tool coated TiAlN with compressed chilly air mist cooling was much longer than that of the dry and flood coolant when cutting the material.

Recently sapphire wafer has expected as smart phone cover material, however, brittle nature of sapphire needed edge grinding processes to prevent early initiation of cracks. Electro-deposited multi-layered groove tools with $35{\mu}m$ diamond particles were studied for sapphire wafer grinding. Solid particle flow behaviors in agitated electrolyte was studied using PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry), and uniform particle distribution in Ni bond were obtained when agitating impeller was located lower part of electrolyte. Hardness values of $400{\pm}50Hv$ were maintained for retention of diamond particles in electro-deposited bond layer. Sapphire wafer edge grinding test was carried out and multi-layered $160{\mu}m$ thick diamond tool showed much greater grinding capabilities up to 2000 sapphire wafers than single-layered $50{\mu}m$ thick diamond electro-deposited tools of 420 wafers. The reason why 3 times thicker multi-layered tools than single-layered tools showed 5 times longer tool lives in grinding processes was attributed to self-dressed new diamond particles in multi-layered tools, and multi-layered diamond tools could be promising for sapphire grinding.

A cluster tool for semiconductor manufacturing is an integrated device that consists of several single wafer processing modules and a wafer transport module based on a robot. The distributed module controllers are integrated by an inter-module communication network and coordinated by a centralized controller, called a cluster tool controller (CTC). Since the CTC monitors and coordinates the distributed complex module controllers for advanced process control, complex commuication messaging and services between the CTC and the module controllers are required. A SEMI standard, CTMC(Cluster Tool Module Communication), specifies application-level communication service requirements for inter-module communication. We propose the use of high-level fieldbuses, for instance. PROFIBUS-FMS, for implementing CTMC since the high-level fieldbuses are well suited for complex real-time distributed manufacturing control applications. We present a way of implementing CTMC using PROFIBUS-FMS as the communication enabler. We first propose improvements of a key object of CTMC for material transfer and the part transfer protocol to meet the functional requirements of modem advanced cluster tools. We also discuss mapping objects and services of CTMC to PROFIBUS-FMS communication objects and services. Finally, we explain how to implement the mappings.

Incremental forming is a relatively novel sheet forming process, in which parts can be formed without the use of dedicated dies. In this paper, the influence of the process parameters (tool diameter, step size, feed rate, existence of a die, forming methods, and kinds of tool path) on surface roughness in the case in which parts are processed by incremental forming was discussed. Al 1050 material is used in the experiments. A table of orthogonal arrays is used to design the experiments and the ANOVA method is employed to statistically analyze the results. The obtained results show that the process parameters of tool diameter, step size, and the existence of a die have a significant effect on the surface roughness, whereas the feed rate, forming methods and kinds of tool path are insignificant.
