In this study, we have prepared a Ti-6Al-4V/V/17-4 PH composite structure via a direct energy deposition process, and analyzed the interfaces using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The joint interfaces comprise two zones, one being a mixed zone in which V and 17-4PH are partially mixed and another being a fusion zone in the 17-4PH region which consists of Fe+FeV. It is observed that the power of the laser used in the deposition process affects the thickness of the mixed zone. When a 210 W laser is used, the thickness of the mixed zone is wider than that obtained using a 150 W laser, and the interface resembles a serrated shape. Moreover, irrespective of the laser power used, the expected  phase is found to be absent in the V/17-4 PH stainless steel joint; however, many VN precipitates are observed.

In this study, the failure characteristic of the center floor of a front-wheel drive vehicle was investigated according to material. UHSS, Al6061-T6, CFRP, and CFRP-Al were used as materials. As the analysis condition, a fixed support was applied to the rear surface of the center floor and a forced displacement of 2 mm/sec was applied to the front surface. As the result, when comparing with the equivalent stress and strain energy according to the material, it was found that UHSS, Al6061-T6, CFRP, and CFRP-Al were higher in the order. Also, when comparing with the equivalent strain due to the material, it was shown that the equivalent strain was high in the order of Al6061-T6, UHSS, CFRP and CFRP-Al. As for the damage characteristic of the center floor according to the material, it was found that the highest structural stability was obtained when UHSS was used. However, it was found that it was good to utilize Al6061-T6 in order to acquire the structural stability along with the structure with the lighter weight.

In this study, we investigated the properties of adhesive materials with different lightweight materials such as CFRP and Al-foam. The specimens were tested and analyzed using DCB (Double Cantilever Beam) specimens. In order to secure the reliability of the finite element method, the test and analysis were carried out, and the reliability of the finite element method was secured by using the graph of reaction force to displacement based on the experiment and analysis. The study on the adhesive failure characteristics according to the position of notch hole proceeded. Notch holes were generated at the locations of 40, 110, 150 and 190 mm from the beginning of the specimen near the bonding interface, and the analysis conditions used were the same as those used for securing reliability. The obtained study results are compared with reaction force and equivalent stress. In the case of reaction force, the overall tendency is similar but the difference in maximum reaction force is found. It was found that higher reaction forces appeared at the beginning than at the end of the bonding interface. When the equivalent stresses in the specimens were examined, the value of CFRP was seen to be 30 times higher as much as that of Al-foam.

This study discussed the effects of inclined interface location to apply the design of inclined interface of composite materials subjected to shear loading. The fracture parameters are analyzed by finite element method of ANSYS. As a results, If in case of the angle of inclination is 45 degrees, inclined interface is longer and the crack tip is closer, the less the crack suppression effect. If the inclined interface location is a more than twice the length of the inclined interface, the effect of suppressing crack propagation are constant regardless of the location. In case of the inclined interface is longer and the crack tip is closer, the cause of increase of energy release rate is a due to the increase of shear stress. If in case of the angle of inclination is 90 degrees, inclined interface is closer to the crack tip, the better the crack suppression effect. If the inclined interface location is a less than twice the length of the inclined interface, the effect of suppressing crack propagation are dominant. And if the inclined interface location is a more than twice the length of the inclined interface, crack suppression effect is gradually reduced.

This study was discussed with the friction effects due to surface roughness of the interface between the base material and a reinforcement at the downward inclined interfacial crack under shear loading. The fracture parameter are analyzed by finite element method of the ANSYS. As the friction coefficient of the surface is assumed zero and 0.3, the fracture is analyzed. This study was analyzed with inclination angles about 0 degrees, 45 degrees and 90 degrees. As the results, at the inclination angle of 0, the energy release rate is reduced by about 3%. About 16%, and 2% are decreased at 45 degree and 90 degree respectively. If the inclination angle is 45 degrees, the friction effect by the sliding resistance between the interface was found to be most effective.

In this study, the heating block for 3D printer has a problem that heat is transferred to the filament guide portion to dissolve the filament, thereby preventing the filament from being discharged quickly out of the nozzle. In order to solve these problems, the cladding with different thermal conductivity was fabricated and the heating block was manufactured. The properties of the fabricated clad material and the surface temperature of the fabricated heating block were measured and the following conclusions were obtained. As a result of modeling thermal analysis of the heating block made of the clad material developed in this study rather than the existing heating block, the surface temperature of the filament guide portion was predicted to be lower than the surface temperature of the heating portion. The shear strength of the clad material developed in this study was measured and the average value of 82.8 MPa was obtained. The thermal conductivity of the existing heating block was 237W/m K at 300K. The thermal conductivity of the heating block made of the clad material ⋅ developed in this study was 81.416W/m K, which is lower than the conventional thermal conductivity. The ⋅ surface temperature of the heating block made of the clad material developed in this study is 172.3℃, which is lower than that of the conventional heating block. Future research is to evaluate the thermal distribution by using a metal with a lower thermal conductivity than carbon steel and by cladding pressure, evaluating the physical properties of the clad material, and fabricating it as a heating block.

This study discusses the length effect of the downward inclined surface to apply the inclined interface surface design of the composite material under shear loading. The fracture parameter is analyzed by finite element method of the ANSYS. If the negative shear displacement is applied, energy release rate is reduced further to about the increasing inclined length, and the positive shear displacement applied, it had increased rather. If the negative shear displacement is applied, the reduction in the energy release rate in crack tip is found to be affected by the reduction in shear stress. If the positive shear displacement is applied, the increasing in the energy release rate in the crack tip is found to be affected by the increase in shear stress.

In this study, the effect of downward inclined interface about interfacial crack of bimaterials are discussed. The fracture parameter are analyzed by finite element method of the ANSYS. The energy release rates, displacement jump and stress distribution were analyzed as the gradient variation of inclined interfaces. As a results, in case of positive shear displacement was applied, the energy release rates not varied with gradient of inclined interface increasing. However in case of negative shear displacement was applied, the energy release rates decreased with gradient of inclined interface increasing. Due to the inclined interface contact, the shielding effect relatively increased as the gradient of inclined interface was increased.

Recently, applied areas of nonferrous materials have been expanded in terms of efficiency of materials used and cost reduction. And, in accordance with compactness and accuracy of parts, the need of joining of dissimilar materials is raised. Accordingly, this study aimed at finding out the optimal welding current value(6.3～6.5kA) considering tensile strength, fracture test and welding residue after joining with various welding conditions by means of copper pipe(Φ7.0 × t0.5) and aluminium pipe(Φ7.0 × t0.7) using an eutectic diffusion bonding machine.

In this study, the crack initiation and propagation behavior of interfacial crack in bimaterial are discussed. Normal crack opening displacements(NCOD) and stresses are analyzed by finite element method using ANSYS and used for extracting fracture parameters. The energy release rates can not explained the initiation and crack propagation velocity of interfacial crack. Initial velocity of crack propagation is dependent upon the normal and shear stress behind of crack tip. The crack propagation velocity of interfacial crack is very dependent upon the normal and shear stress behind of crack tip. In case of negative shear displacements increase in interfacial crack, initiation delay of crack propagation is dependent upon the negative shear stress ahead of crack tip due to the suppressing of crack opening. In case of positive shear displacements increase in interfacial crack, initiation delay of crack propagation is dependent upon the stress behind of crack tip due to the stress decrease. The fracture toughness increase is due to the initiation delay of crack propagation.

In this study, the effect of interface friction coefficient about interfacial crack of bimaterials are discussed. The fracture parameters are analyzed by finite element method using ANSYS. With increasing the interface friction coefficient, normal crack opening displacements and normal stress distributions are analyzed. In this case with surface contact in interface crack, the energy release rates decreases with interface friction coefficient increasing. Increase in the friction coefficient of the crack surface are tend to suppressing for the initiation of interfacial crack. In this case with surface non-contact, the energy release rates are constant with interface friction coefficient increasing, and so the friction coefficient are not related with the fracture parameter.

A5J32-T4 and A5052-H32 dissimilar aluminum alloy plates with thickness of 1.6 and 1.5 mm were welded by friction stir lap welding (FSLW). The FSLW were studied using different probe length tool and various welding conditions which is rotation speed of 1000, 1500 rpm and welding speed of 100 to 600 mm/min and material arrangement, respectively. The effects of plunge depth of tool and welding conditions on tensile properties and weld nugget formation. The results showed that three type nugget shapes such as hooking, void, sound have been observed with revolutionary pitch. This plunge depth and material arrangement were found to effect on the void and hooking for- mation, which in turn significantly influenced the mechanical properties. The maximum joint efficiency of the FSLWed plates was about 90% compared to base metal, A5052-H32 when the A5052-H32 was positioned upper plate and plunge depth was positioned at near interface between upper and lower plates.

Self-piercing riveting(SPR) is a sheet joining method that can be used for materials which are difficult or unsuitable to weld, such as aluminum alloy and different steel sheet metals. No pre-drilled hole is needed for SPR; the rivets are pushed directly into the sheets clamped together between a blank holder and a die in a press tool. In this paper, self-piercing rivet and anvil were designed for four joining conditions with dissimilar sheet metals. SPR was simulated by using commercial FEM code DEFORM-2D. In simulation of SPR process, various strengths of self-piercing rivet were considered. The mechanical properties could be determined by tensile test for quenched rivets and sheet metals. The designs of rivet and anvil were modified by comparisons of simulated results.
