Many countries are enforcing the Product Liability Act to ask the responsibility for the supply of the safe products. Thus, the safety of the product becomes one of the most important elements in modern corporate management. Diamond tool industries producing risk-high products cannot make an except to this situation. This research presents how Diamond tool manufactures in korea to respond effectively to Product Liability through construction of Product Safety Management System.

In this work, powder metallurgy and severe plastic deformation by high-pressure torsion (HPT) approaches were combined to achieve both full density and grain refinement at the same time. Pure Cu powders were mixed with 5 and 10 vol% diamonds and consolidated into disc-shaped samples at room temperature by HPT at 1.25 GPa and 1 turn, resulting in ultrafine grained metallic matrices embedded with diamonds. Neither heating nor additional sintering was required with the HPT process so that in situ consolidation was successfully achieved at ambient temperature. Significantly refined grain structures of Cu metallic matrices with increasing diamond volume fractions were observed by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), which enhanced the microhardness of the Cu-diamond composites.

Hydrophobic nanodiamond (ND) were dispersed in engine oil (Helix Oil, Shell co.) as an additives to improve tribology properties. In this study, nanodiamond prepared by an explosive method was used. Tribology properties of both pure Helix oil and engine oil containing ND additive were evaluated. The rotating disks were made of Gray Cast Iron (240 Hv) and SKD11 (710 Hv). Surface topographies of the disks' wear tracks and friction coefficient were compared. The results show that nanodiamond-dispersed lubricants are capable of reducing these metals' wear loss. The friction coefficient is strongly affected to the hardness of wear track.

이 연구는 다이아몬드 입체교차점에서 설치되는 회전교차로를 다루고 있다. 연구의 목적은 신호교차로에 대하여 상대적인 회전교차로의 효과를 분석하는데 있다. 이를 위해 회전교차로와 신호교차로를 교통량별로 시나리오를 작성하고 VISSIM을 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석된 주요 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 단구 및 쌍구 회전교차로는 회전교통량 비율이 10:5:5인 경우 총 진입교통량이 2,400pcph 이상, 10:2:8인 경우 2,800pcph 이상, 그리고 10:8:2인 경우 4,400pcph 이상에서 급격한 지체변화를 갖는 것으로 분석된다. 둘째, 회전교통량 비율이 10:5:5인 경우에는 총 진입교통량이 4,000pcph 이하, 그리고 10:2:8인 경우엔 4,400pcph 이하에서 회전교차로가 신호교차로 보다 효과적인 것으로 평가된다. 또한 회전교통량 비율이 10:8:2인 경우 쌍구 회전교차로는 5,600pcph 이하에서 신호교차로에 비해 효과적인 것으로 평가된다. 마지막으로, 쌍구 회전교차로는 총 진입교통량이 4,400pcph 이하의 경우엔 단구와 비슷하지만, 4,400pcph 이상의 경우엔 단구 회전교차로보다 효율적인 것으로 판단된다.

Diamond/SiC composites are appropriate candidate materials for heat conduction as well as high temperature abrasive materials because they do not form liquid phase at high temperature. Diamond/SiC composite consists of diamond particles embedded in a SiC binding matrix. SiC is a hard material with strong covalent bonds having similar structure and thermal expansion with diamond. Interfacial reaction plays an important role in diamond/SiC composites. Diamond/SiC composites were fabricated by high temperature and high pressure (HPHT) sintering with different diamond content, single diamond particle size and bi-modal diamond particle size, and also the effects of composition of diamond and silicon on microstructure, mechanical properties and thermal properties of diamond/SiC composite were investigated. The critical factors influencing the dynamics of reaction between diamond and silicon, such as graphitization process and phase composition, were characterized. Key factor to enhance mechanical and thermal properties of diamond/SiC composites is to keep strong interfacial bonding at diamond/SiC composites and homogeneous dispersion of diamond particles in SiC matrix.

In the present study, Zr-base metallic glass(MG)/diamond composites are fabricated using a combination of gas-atomization and spark plasma sintering (SPS). The densification behaviors of mixtures of soft MG and hard diamond powders during consolidation process are investigated. The influence of mixture characteristics on the densification is discussed and several mechanism explaining the influence of diamond particles on consolidation behaviour are proposed. The experimental results show that consolidation is enhanced with increasing diamond/Metallic Glass(MG) size ratio, while the diamond fraction is fixed.

High-pressure abrasive entrained jet have rapidly become important machining technology over the last two decades. However, suspension jet by high-pressure has been recently developed for packaging sawing. Ideally, diamond materials should be used for components in abrasive water-jet systems that are subject to high erosive conditions. Using the diamond orifices improve maintenance and extend wear part life. This paper gives insights to using an abrasive suspension jet with diamond orifice. The influences of orifice material and orifice design are evaluated.

This article presents the successful consolidation of the mixed Co and Diamond powders for a drilling segment by the combined application of magnetic pulsed compaction (MPC) and subsequent sintering, and their properties were analyzed. Homogeneous hardness (Hv 220) and density (97%) of sintered bulks fabricated by MPC were obtained by the new technique, where higher pressure has been employed for short period of time than that of general process. A fine microstructure and homogeneous hardness in the consolidated bulk were observed without cracks. Relatively higher drilling speed of 9.61 cm/min and life time of 6.55 m were found to the MPCed specimens, whereas the value of the specimens fabricated by general process was 11.71 cm/min and 7.96 m, respectively. A substantial improvement of mechanical properties of segment was achieved through this study.

현재 도로분야에서 콘크리트 포장의 양적증가와 공용연수 증가로 콘크리트 포장의 손상에 따른 유지보수문제가 크게 부각되기 시작했다. 국내에서 적용되고 있는 콘크리트 포장 유지보수는 통상 손상된 부위의 부분보수후 아스팔트 덧씌우기 공법을 일괄적으로 적용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트 포장의 예방적 유지관리공법인 다이아몬드 그라인딩 공법에 대한 적용기준 평탄성, 미끄럼저항성, 소음, 경제성, 포장의 수명연장등 이론적인 연구를 수행하고, 이를 바탕으로 시험시공을 실시하여 초기공용성에 대한 측정을 실시하였다. 종단평탄성측정은 ARAN의 차륜부 좌우에 별도의 평탄성 측정센서를 부착 자동측정차량을 통해 시공전 후의 평탄성을 측정하였다. 미끄럼저항성은 SN기준값으로 분류하여 다이아몬드 그라인딩 시공전 후의 차로별 미끄럼 저항값을 측정하였다. 소음측정은 시공구간과 일반구간, 차종, 속도를 변수로 선정하여 소음발생정도를 측정하였고, 시공전 후의 평균조도깊이를 측정하여 다이아몬드 그라인딩 공법의 평가를 실시하였다. 분석결과 종단평탄성은 시공후 6%~40%가 향상되었으며, 미끄럼저항성은 1차로에서 66%, 2차로에서 37%의 증진효과가 있었다. 소음은 다이아몬드 그라인딩 구간에서 평균 3.4dB의 소음감소 효과가 나타났으며, 평균조도 깊이는 79%의 깊이 항상 효과를 보였다. 그러므로, 향후 기존 콘크리트 포장의 유지보수공법으로서 다이아몬드 그라인딩 공법의 국내적용이 적정하다고 판단된다.

The purpose of the present study is to determine an optimum composition using cheaper powders keeping with high performance of hard rock cutting diamond saw blade. With 50Fe-20(Cu . Sn)-30Co specimen, a part of Co was replaced by Ni(5%, 10%, and 15%, respectively). These specimens were hot pressed and sintered for predetermined time at various temperature. Sintering is performed by two different methods of temperature controlled method and specimen dimension controlled method. In order to determine the property of the sintered diamond saw blade, 3 point bending tester, X-ray diffractometer, and SEM were used. As the Co in the bond alloy was replaced by Ni, the hardness of the specimen increased. Thus the 50Fe-20(CuㆍSn)-15Co-15Ni specimen showed the maximum hardness of 104(HRB). The results of 3 point bending test showed that flexure strength decreased along with increase in Ni content. This is attributed to the formation of intermetallic compound(NiSn) determined by X-ray diffraction. The fracture surface after 3 point bending test showed that diamond was fractured in the specimen containing 0%, 5%, and 10%Ni, and the fracture occurred at the interface between diamond and matrix in the specimen containing 15%Ni. The cutting ability test showed that the abrasive property was not changed in the specimen containing 0%, 5%, and 10%Ni. The optimum composition determined in this study is 50Fe-20(CuㆍSn)-20Co-10Ni.

Ni-diamond composite powders with nickel layer of round-top type on the surface of synthetic diamond (140/170 mesh) were prepared by the electroless plating method (EN) with semi-batch reactor. The effects of nickel concentration, feeding rates of reductant, temperature, reaction time and stirring speeds on the weight percentage and morphology of deposited Ni, mean particle size and specific surface area of the composite powders were investigated by Atomic Adsortion Spectrometer, SEM-EDX, PSA and BET. It was found that nucleated Ni-P islands, acted as catalytic sites for further deposition and grown into these relatively thick layers with nodule-type on the surface of diamond by a lateral growth mechanism. The weight percentage of Ni in the composite powder increased with reaction time, feeding rate of reductant and temperature, but decreased with stirring speed. The weight percentage of Ni in Ni-diamond composite powder was 55% at 150 min., 200 rpm and 7 .
