Aluminum High Vacuum Die-casting process has become more prevalent in automotive manufacturing industry which require high productive rate, weldable process and heat treatment process. However, high pressure die castings usually contain gas porosity due mainly to the entrapment of air or gas in the die during the high speed injection of the molten metal into the die cavity. Vacuum block system with disk spring was developed and vacuum chanel was optimized with numerical flow analysis. The porosity of die castings was analyzed by X-ray CT, and the effect of porosity on the mechanical properties was analyzed by hardness and tensile test. Tensile strength was improved 49.5% for 50mbar high vacuum die-casting process compare then 300mbar. And then, Surface property was analyzed with plunger velocity and fast shot set point.

In this research, we evaluate on the disassemblability of recycling process for vehicle front door using the symbolic chart method and machine-learning algorithm. It is applied to the front door of 1600cc class vehicle, and then the conventional steel door and CFRP door were compared. Based on the principle symbolic chart method, the number of processes can be different according to decomposer proficiency of suitability of recycling process, so the evaluation method is required to supply this issue. The machine learning algorithm, and artificial intelligence method were applied and the applicable tools for each experiment were used to compensate the variations in the number of processes according to different proficiencies. Because CFRP front door has integrated components compare to steel door, so its disassemblability processes were decreased to 80 from 103 of the conventional steel door’s. It can be confirmed that the disassemblability was increased from the suitability of recycling equation. In case of the steel, disassemblability was approximately 60.6, in case of the CFRP is approximately 72 for car front door. Therefore, it can be concluded that the disassemblability of CFRP was better in the evaluation of suitability of recycling.

In this study, Equivalent fracture strain and Fracture energy were evaluated with the small punch test(SP test) for friction stir welded(FSW) Al6061-T6 sheets. With the three rotation speeds and the three feeding rate, The nine different conditions of FSW were prepared for the SP test. The SP test specimens were manufactured and tested on the advancing side, center, and retreating side to the tool rotation direction. From the SP test data, the equivalent fracture strain and the fracture energy were analyzed. The high value of equivalent fracture strain was attained form tool rotational speed 900RPM and feeding rate 330mm/min. It is found that its characteristic is about 14% higher than the value of condition 1100RPM-330mm/min that have the lowest value. The high value of fracture energy was obtained from the tool rotation speed 900RPM and feeding rate 330mm/min. The lowest fracture energy, which from 1000RPM-300mm/min, was approximately 16% difference to the highest value.

소백산국립공원에서는 멸종위기종복원사업의 하나인 여우 복원사업을 진행중이다. 멸종위기종 복원을 진행함에 있어 안전한 서식지 제공은 복원종의 정착화에 가장 중요한 요수중에 하나이다. 그러나 농업을 기반으로 생활하는 주민들은 야생동물로 인한 농산물 피해를 방지하기 위해 올무, 창애와 같은 불법엽구를 이용하여 과수원이나 밭을 침해하는 야생동물을 차단하고 있다. 이 이유로 농작물에 피해를 주는 유해조수 뿐만 아니라 다른 멸종위기종에게 까지 영향을 미치고 있다. 소백산국립공원에서 복원중인 여우의 생태적 특성 상 민가와 농작지 주변에 활동하고 중소형동물로 올무와 창애에 피해를 입을 확률이 더 크다. 실제로 2012년 방사 이후 3개 체가 불법엽구로 인해 폐사 하였으며 7개체는 다리 절단 등의 이유로 회수된 상태이다. 야생동물에게 서식지는 먹이 활동, 교미, 출산, 양육 등 생활사를 유지하는데 필수적인 요소로 특히나 멸종위기종 복원에 있어 서식지 안정화는 1차적으로 고려되어야 하는 요소중의 하나이다. 따라서 본 연구는 멸종위기종 1급인 여우의 복원대상지인 소백산국립공원 지역의 불법엽구 수거 실적을 이용하여 공간분석을 통해 불법엽구 설치 유형을 도출하고 이에 따른 관리방안을 제시하고자 한다. 분석방법은 2016년부터 2018년까지 소백산국립공원인 접지역에서 수거한 불법엽구 설치 좌표 112개를 이용하여 설치지점의 고도, 경사, 농경지(논, 밭, 과수원)로 부터의 거리, 주거지로 부터의 거리, 도로와의 거리, 토지이용현황 등 총 6가지 환경인자를 이용하여 불법엽구 설치 유형을 도출 하였다. 분석결과 불법엽구가 설치된 지점의 평균고도는 348.4m로 나타났으며 경사는 평균 16.2°, 농경지로 부터의 거리는 평균 109m, 주거지로 부터의 거리는 192m, 도로와의 거리 114m로 나타났으며 불법엽구가 설치된 지점의 토지이용현황은 침엽수림이 44%로 가장 높았으며 과수원 31.25%, 혼효림 11%, 밭 5%, 교통시설 4.4% 등으로 분석되었다. 위 분석결과를 바탕으로 차후 위험지역 설정 및 설치 예상지역을 도출하여 불법엽구 근절을 위한 현수막과 홍보 활동을 통해 주민의식을 계도하고 환경청, 지차체, NGO, 지역주민 등 유관기관과 연계하여 대대적인 불법엽구 수거를 통해 밀렵에 의한 피해를 방지하여야 할 것이다.

The investigation on the lightweight of automobiles has been underway in commercial vehicles as well as passenger cars due to global warming and strengthening of European emission standards. In this study, the V-arm were developed for lightweight parts using aluminum alloy instead of steel with high pressure die casting processing. This study has focused on lightweight adaptive concept design. Several models of V-arm were designed and analyzed for the fluidity and solidification. V-arm was produced with ADC12 by high pressure die-casting process. The mechanical properties of developed V-arm were measured; such as tensile strength, elongation, shear strength, and durability. The possibility of mass production with the light weight aluminum V-arm substitute from the steel. The weight was reduced about 38% from 16kg to 9.98kg. The productivity was improved with decreasing the process from 8 to 5 by All-in-0ne process using high pressure die-casting.
