The overseas small ship market is witnessing a trend towards research aimed at substituting Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRP), which poses environmental concerns, with High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) in the shipbuilding process. Given the low melting point and high coefficient of thermal expansion of HDPE, research on joint areas is essential. This study focuses on preliminary investigations into ensuring the integrity of joints in shipbuilding processes using HDPE materials. Utilizing the Hot Gas Extrusion Welding method, which is conducive to joining large structures such as ships, HDPE joints were conducted. The material properties were evaluated based on the ASTM D638-14 international standards. This research aims to provide fundamental knowledge on the joining process of HDPE through Hot Gas Extrusion Welding and offers guidance on ensuring the integrity of joints in shipbuilding.

세라믹 분리막은 높은 열적, 화학적 안정성을 갖기 때문에 극한의 조건에서 운전되는 다양한 산업 공정에 적용할 수 있다. 그러나 투과도와 기계적 강도의 trade-off 현상에 의한 세라믹 분리막 활용에 제약이 있어, 고투과성-고강도 분리막 의 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 상전이-압출법으로 알루미나 중공사 분리막을 제조하고, 고분자 바인더의 종류와 그 혼합 비에 따른 분리막의 특성 변화를 관찰하였다. 용매인 DMAc (Dimethylacetamide)와 고분자 바인더의 한센 용해도 인자를 비 교하면, PSf (polysulfone)가 DMAc와 높은 용해도 특성을 갖기 때문에 도프 용액의 점도와 토출압력이 높게 나타나 분리막 내부가 치밀한 구조로 형성되기 때문에 높은 기계적 강도를 갖으나 수투과도가 감소하는 것으로 확인되었다. 그에 반해, PES (polyethersulfone)를 이용하여 분리막을 제조하면 기계적 강도가 다소 감소하고 수투과도가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라 서 분리막 성능과 물성을 최적화하기 위해 PSf와 PES를 혼합하여 분리막을 제조하였으며, 9:1로 혼합하여 제조된 분리막에 서 최적화된 수투과도와 기계적 강도를 얻을 수 있었다.

This study aims to investigate the physicochemical properties of meat analogs by using high and low moisture extrusion processes to create a plant-based analog burger patty material. The isolated soy protein blends of low- and high-meat analogs (LMMA and HMMA) were texturized using the twin-screw extruder equipped with a cooling die. The highest hardness, cohesiveness, chewiness, and cutting strength were observed in beef, but the highest stringiness was indicated in HMMA. The highest integrity index was seen in beef, while LMMA had the highest nitrogen solubility index (NSI). LMMA also had the highest water holding capacity (WHC) and water absorption capacity (WAC), whereas beef had the highest oil absorption capacity (OAC). LMMA had the highest emulsifying activity (EA) and emulsion stability (ES) in emulsifying properties. Further, the highest protein digestibility was revealed in LMMA. This study suggested that extrusion process types influence the quality of meat analog, which could be the elementary source for manufacturing the analog burger patty.

In this study, experiments and simulations were performed for fillet joint friction stir welding according to tool shape and welding conditions. Conventional butt friction stir welding has good weldability because heat is generated by friction with the bottom of the tool shoulder. However, in the case of fillet friction stir welding, the frictional heat is not sufficiently generated at the bottom of the tool shoulder due to the shape of the tool and the shape of the joint. Therefore, it is important to sufficiently generate frictional heat by slowing the welding speed as compared to butt welding. In this study, experiments and simulations were carried out on an aluminum battery housing made by friction stir welding an extruded material with a fillet joint. The temperature of the structure was measured using a thermocouple during welding, and the heat source was calculated through correlation analysis. Thermal elasto-plastic analysis of the structure was carried out using the calculated heat source and geometric boundary conditions. It is confirmed that the experimental results and the simulation results are well matched. Based on the results of the study, the deformation of the structure can be calculated through simulation even if the tool shape and welding process conditions change.

With the current increase in national income, consumers are favoring expensive home appliances. Many aluminum parts are used to improve the appearance of TV products. However, many losses are incurred due to production defects. There are many flaws in the bending process. This study studied the improvement of bending defects during fault handling. The material used is an aluminum alloy (6063), and the product is a serrated component on the surface of an aluminum part. After the bending process, it was identified how the sawtooth area was twisted. Then, while bending, experimented to find the main cause of the defect. The study tried to find maximum effectiveness with a minimum experiment using 6 sigma techniques. The experiment showed that there were many defects depending on the bending speed of the part and the distance it was fixed. The experiment used a method of finding optimal conditions by combining variables from each item. As a result, the failure was minimized when the distance between the two axes was maintained at 4.5-5mm and the bending speed was maintained at 15mm/sec. The component fixation force has a fixed hook in the middle of the product, and therefore it is found that changes in the amount of byte for the fixed part do not result in significant improvements in the defect.

억새와 같은 초본계 바이오매스로부터 cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin 등 주요성분을 추출하기 위해서는 알칼리 전처리가 효율적이며, 본 연구에서는 수산화칼륨(KOH)을 이용한 전처리 조건을 최적화하였다. 전처리 변수의 최적화는 반응표면분석법(RSM)을 적용하였다. RSM의 변수는 3개였으며, 변수범위는 각각 KOH 0.2∼0.8M, 반응온도 110∼190℃ 및 반응시간 10∼90min 이었다. 억새의 알칼리 전처리를 위한 최적조건은 KOH 농도 0.47M, 반응온도 134℃ 및 반응시간 65min 이었다. 최적 전 처리 조건에 따라 전처리를 수행한 후 고형물의 cellulose 함량은 66.1±1.1% 이었으며, hemicellulose 및 lignin 함량은 각각 26.4±0.4%, 3.7±0.1% 이었다. RMS 모델식에 따라 계산된 예측값은 실제값 대비 95% 범위 내에서 유효하였다. 최종적으로 전처리물을 동시당화발효를 통해 검증한 결과 에탄올 생산 수율은 96% 이었다.

압출성형 결과 최근 관심이 많은 구증구포 흑삼에 함유 되는 진세노사이드인 Rg2, Rg5 등의 함량이 바렐온도가 높은 조건에서 매우 많이 증가되는 결과를 볼 수 있다 기존의 연구는 실험실 수준의 압출 성형기를 사용하였으나 산업화가 가능한 pilot-scale 설비를 사용하여 scale-up 공정의 가능성을 확인하였다. 또한 preconditioner를 활용하여 압출성형 전에 수증기에 의한 수화 및 열처리를 통해서 보다 효율적인 인삼 가공공정이 가능한 공정으로 운영하였다. 압출성형 결과 최근 관심이 많은 구증구포 흑삼에 함유되는 진세노사이드인 Rg2, Rg5 등의 함량이 바렐온도가 높은 조건에서 매우 많이 증가되는 결과를 볼 수 있다. 이는 pilot scale twin-screw extruder 설비를 활용한 공정이 인삼의 가공 공정으로 산업화에 유용하게 사용될 수 있는 결과라 사료된다.

본 연구는 기능성 팽화 스낵의 개발을 위하여 우수한 식이섬유소원인 차전자피를 첨가한 쌀 압출성형물의 물리적 특성에 대하여 살펴보았다. 원료 배합비는 쌀을 기본 원료로 하여 차전자피의 함량(0, 7, 14, 21%)을 달리하였고, 압출성형 공정변수는 스크루 회전속도 200 rpm, 사출구 온도 140oC, 수분함량 20%로 조절하였다. 압출성형 후 직경 팽화율, 비길이, 밀도, 겉보기 탄성계수, 파괴력, 조직감, 색도, 수분용해지수, 수분흡착지수, 미세구조를 측정하였다. 직경 팽화율은 차전자피 함량이 증가할수록 감소하였으며, 비길이, 밀도, 겉보기 탄성계수와 파괴력은 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 부착성은 차전자피 함량이 증가할수록 증가하였으며 21% 첨가에서 급격히 증가하였다. 차전자피의 첨가량이 증가할수록 명도는 감소하였고 적색도, 황색도, 총 색도차는 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 수분용해지수와 수분흡착지수는 압출성형 공정 후 모두 증가하였으며 차전자피의 함량이 증가할수록 증가하였다. 미세구조는 차전자피 첨가량이 증가할수록 팽화와 기공의 크기가 감소하여 압출성형물의 밀도가 증가하였다. 결론적으로 차전자피의 첨가량이 증가할수록 팽화를 감소시켜 단단한 조직감을 나타내었고 높은 수분흡수력으로 인해 부착성이 증가하여 14% 이하로 첨가 하는 것이 바람직하다. 또한 차전자피의 함량이 높은 팽화 스낵을 개발하기 위하여 유화제의 첨가 뿐만 아니라 차전 자피의 전처리 등 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것이다.

It has been studied that the aluminum extrusion with the ingot-recycled composite billet that is casted. The billet is composed of the inner rod with the recycled and the outer ring with the ingot aluminum. For easy producing the tensile specimens to evaluate the bonding strength between recycled and ingot material, the extrusion die was designed. Two types of the billet are extruded. One is a composite billet that is casted. The other is an assembled billet with the turned bars. The strength is measured from tensile tests with extruded specimens. The effect on the strength of the oxidized layer between the materials has been researched with EDS analysis.

This study aims to investigate the physical properties of extruded psyllium husk upon the addition of emulsifiers. Three different emulsifiers−glycerol monostearate (GMS), polyglycerol ester (PGE), and sugar ester (SE)−were added to the mixture of psyllium husk and rice powder before extrusion. Extrusion was performed using a twinscrew extruder at 140°C die temperature, 200 rpm screw speed, and 16% feed moisture content. The physical properties of psyllium husk extrudates including expansion ratio, specific length, piece density, texture profile, color properties, water soluble index, and water absorption index were evaluated. It was observed that the expansion ratio was the highest while the specific length and piece density were the lowest in the control which had no emulsifiers. Texture profile analysis showed that the apparent elastic modulus and breaking strength were highest in the extrudate with a PGE of 0.1%. The adhesiveness was found to be lowest in the extrudates with an SE of 0.1% and GMS of 0.5%. Lightness value was highest in the extrudate with a PGE of 0.1%. Color difference, water soluble index, and water absorption index were highest in the control. The results reveal that some physical properties of extruded psyllium husk were improved with the addition of emulsifiers. This finding provides useful information for the development of psyllium snacks with good physical characteristics.

In this study, the effect of pre-aging treatment for inhibition of natural aging of Al-4.8Zn-1.3Mg alloy by extrusion process was investigated. Firstly, the as-cast microstructure of Al-4.8Zn-1.3Mg alloy billet and its evolution during homogenization(460℃, 4h + 510℃, 5h) were investigated by means of optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), hardness analysis. The as-cast microstructures of Al-4.8Zn-1.3Mg alloy reveal Mg2Zn, Al5Cu, Al3Cu formed between dendrities. After homogenization, MgZn, Al4Cu, Al13Cu phases precipitated into the matrix. In addition, standard deviation of homogenized billet was improved than as-cast billet from 2.62 to 0.99. According to pre-aging(100℃, 1h) Al-4.8Zn-1.3Mg alloy by extrusion process, yield strength and tensile strength deviation improved more than condition by natural aging.

In this study, the whole process of 6xxx series aluminum extruded alloy for high speed train interior and exterior parts are characterized. The mechanical properties, and chemical composition of the case materials were evaluated for the 6063, 6061 and 6N01 alloy profiles and compared to the commercial materials and the evaluation results satisfied the standard. The cast product was extruded using the air slip(AS) casting method and the direct casting(DC) method and these were again heat-treated conditions with T5 or T6. The remarkable point is that the extrusion temperature and pressure of 6061 alloy were somewhat higher than those of other alloys. The reason is that 6061 alloy exhibited brittle fracture due to grain boundary segregation even at the tensile fracture surface and the fact that the product used a billet by the direct casting method instead of air slip one. The mechanical properties were evaluated for the 6063, 6061, 6N01 extruded alloys and the evaluation results were analyzed and satisfied the standard properties.

In this study, the extrusion process of 6xxx series aluminum cast alloy for high speed train interior or exterior parts are developed. For casting, selection of optimum alloying elements, dissolution technology, de-gassing process, production of molds conforming to the conditions of use, development of casting process control technology for various shapes and materials are performed for the development of high-quality, high strength aluminum alloys. The development of more high farmable extruded aluminum casting alloys for interior or exterior materials has been the scope of this study. The extruded die design was performed for the 6063, 6061 and 6N01 alloy profiles and extrusion test was executed. From these results, the extrusion conditions such as extrusion pressure following as billet temperature and materials were carefully examined.
