The process optimization of directed energy deposition (DED) has become imperative in the manufacture of reliable products. However, an energy-density-based approach without a sufficient powder feed rate hinders the attainment of an appropriate processing window for DED-processed materials. Optimizing the processing of DEDprocessed Ti-6Al- 4V alloys using energy per unit area (Eeff) and powder deposition density (PDDeff) as parameters helps overcome this problem in the present work. The experimental results show a lack of fusion, complete melting, and overmelting regions, which can be differentiated using energy per unit mass as a measure. Moreover, the optimized processing window (Eeff = 44~47 J/mm2 and PDDeff = 0.002~0.0025 g/mm2) is located within the complete melting region. This result shows that the Eeff and PDDeff-based processing optimization methodology is effective for estimating the properties of DED-processed materials.

This study studied a system that can redesign the production site layout and respond with dynamic simulation through fabric production process innovation for smart factory promotion and digital-oriented decision making of the production process. We propose to reflect the required throughput and throughput per unit facility of fabric production process as probability distribution, and to construct data-driven metabolism such as data collection, data conversion processing, data rake generation, production site monitoring and simulation utilization. In this study, we demonstrate digital-centric field decision smartization through architectural design for the smartization of fabric production plants and dynamic simulations that reflect it.

Forged part made of Cold heading quality wire materials are used for automotive brake systems. The cost reduction of forged products is a major issue because of the strict shape change. A series of studies were conducted to minimize the cost of EPB spindle process among brake parts. In order to reduce the material cost, heat treatment-abbreviated material was applied and the formability on the processes was verified by the ductile fracture theory. In addition, the causes of shape fixation and die life degradation were analyzed using the numerical simulation. The process cost has been minimized by re-designing process, changing the product shape, and the die material.

곤약의 제조 공정은 크게 분말제조과정, 응고과정 및 제 성과정으로 나눌 수 있었다. 곤약의 일반세균수는 응고제와 침지액의 농도가 높아질수록 뚜렷한 감소 경향을 나타낸 반면 용수의 온도는 유의미한 영향을 미치지 못하였다. 곤약의 저장성 실험에서 응고제[Ca(OH)2] 농도를 1.0%로 유지할 경우 인장강도는 10개월까지 큰 변화 없이 유지되는 것으로 나타났으나 0.8% 이하로 유지할 경우 급격한 감소를 나타내는 경향을 보였다. 일반세균수도 인장강도의 변화와 유사한 패턴을 보였다. 응고제 농도를 1.0%로 고정한 후 침지액에 의한 영향을 확인한 결과 시험된 모든 침지액 농도(4×10-3-1.2×10-2 N)에서 인장강도와 일반세균수 모두 저장 10개월까지 큰 변화없이 유지되는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 곤약의 저장시 응고제의 농도가 결정적 영향을 미치는 것을 의미하는 것으로 상온에서 응고제의 농도를 1.0% 이상 유지할 경우 침지액의 농도에 상관없이 상온에서 10개월 동안 물성을 유지할 수 있다는 것을 의미한다.

정삼투 공정(forward osmosis, FO)은 역삼투 공정(reverse osmosis, RO)에 비해 저압으로 운영되므로 오염 제어, 유지 보수, 막 세정 및 잠재적 에너지 저감 측면에서 큰 이점이 있어 다양한 분야에 적용할 수 있는 기술이다. 특히, 정삼투 공정의 막오염층이 비교적 느슨하고 분산된 특성을 가지므로 역삼투 공정과 달리 물리세정만으로도 충분한 막오염 제어가 가능하다. 하지만 기존 연구들의 경우 정삼투 물리세정에 적합한 세정 유속을 적용하지 않아 최적화 운전을 하지 못했다는 한계가 있다. 따라서 이 연구는 경제적인 에너지량으로 높은 효율의 세정을 보일 수 있는 적절한 유속의 정당성 평가를 목적으로 한다. 정삼투 공정 막오염 실험을 8.54 cm/s 순환 유속으로 유지하고 세 가지 세정유속으로 회복률과 SEC(specific energy consumption) 비교 평가하였다. 이 실험의 결과로 2배속 세정이 3배속 세정의 수투과도 회복률 만큼의 높은 효율을 보 이는 동시에, 2배속 세정이 높은 세정효율 및 경제적인 SEC를 보이는 적절한 유속이라는 것을 확인하였다.

To meet the current demand in the fields of permanent magnets for achieving a high energy density, it is imperative to prepare nano-to-microscale rare-earth-based magnets with well-defined microstructures, controlled homogeneity, and magnetic characteristics via a bottom-up approach. Here, on the basis of a microstructural study and qualitative magnetic measurements, optimized reduction conditions for the preparation of nanostructured Sm-Co magnets are proposed, and the elucidation of the reduction-diffusion behavior in the binary phase system is clearly manifested. In addition, we have investigated the microstructural, crystallographic, and magnetic properties of the Sm-Co magnets prepared under different reduction conditions, that is, H2 gas, calcium, and calcium hydride. This work provides a potential approach to prepare high-quality Sm-Co-based nanofibers, and moreover, it can be extended to the experimental design of other magnetic alloys.

In a sheet metal forming process, fracture and wrinkle are the most difficult task in new parts launching. The variation in process condition generates the fracture and wrinkle fluctuation. The fracture and wrinkle are very sensitive to the process conditions, then the main effects of the design variables cannot be obtained from the standard mean analysis. Therefore, in order to minimize the fracture and wrinkle in parts of automobile, a special method to counterpart is required. In this study, a new design method to achieve the optimal in the sheet metal forming process is proposed. The effectiveness of the proposed methods is shown with an example of the parts of fracture and wrinkle.
