When manufacturing die casting mold, generally, the casting layout design should be considered based on the relation among injection system, casting condition, gate system, and cooling system. Also, the extent or the location of product defects was differentiated according to the various relations of the above conditions. In this research, in order to optimizing casting layout design of an automobile part (Oil Pan_DX2E) Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) simulation was performed with two layout designs by using the simulation software (AnyCasting). The simulation results were analyzed and compared carefully in order to apply them into the production die-casting mold. During the mold filling with two models, internal porosities caused by air entrap were predicted and also compared by the modification of the gate system and the configuration of overflow. With the solidification analysis, internal porosities caused by the solidification shrinkage were predicted and also compared by the modification of the gate system.

Oxide effects experiments on massive hydriding reactions of Zr alloy with hydrogen gas were carried out at 400˚C under 1 atm in a H2 environment with a thermo-gravimetric apparatus (TGA). Experimental results for oxide effects on massive hydriding kinetics show that incubation time is not proportional to oxide thickness. The results also show that the massive hydriding kinetics of pre-filmed Zr alloys follows linear kinetic law and that the hydriding rates are similar to that of oxide-free Zr alloys once massive hydriding is initiated. Unlikely microstructure of the oxide during incubation time, physical defects such as micro-cracks and pores were observed in the oxide after incubation time. Therefore, it seems that the massive hydriding of Zr alloys can be ascribed to short circuit paths and mechanical or physical defects, such as micro-cracks and pores in the oxide, rather than to hydrogen diffusion through the oxide resulting from the increase of oxygen vacancies in the hypo-stoichiometric oxide.

  자동차 개발 단계는, 본질적으로, 수차례의 개발 단계를 거치면서 설계 그룹들 간의 정보 전달과 교환이 여러 차례 반복적으로 발생하게 된다. 이러한 복잡한 상호 정보 교환 과정을 정확하게 이해하여 업무가 수행되지 못하면 불필요한 재작업을 야기시킬 수 있으며, 이는 비용 낭비 및 계획에 차질이 발생할 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 시스템 다이나믹 모델을 개발하여 빈번한 design-built-test 싸이클이 자동차 개발 단계에 미치는 영향 및 이점들을 고찰
