This study is a study on the cracking of the main piston surface which is generated in the injection molding machine to generate mold force. The main piston machining process consists of high frequency heat treatment, grinding and super finishing after lathe turning. Scale, defect size, and fracture texture were observed for four cracks on the surface of the piston during the tempering process after high frequency heat treatment using a metallurgical microscope. In this study, it was confirmed that the cracked structure of the piston structure was ferrite and pearlite structure. It was confirmed that cracks progressed to 480 ㎛ and scale layer of 3 ㎛ or less. Surface hardening layer and hardness were min 2.0mm/HRc 58±2 spec 1.6 mm/HRc 56.5~57.5 In addition, cracks on the surface of the piston appear perpendicular to the rolling process. Therefore, it can be assumed that the crack occurred in the low temperature tempering process at 200°C or less after the high frequency heat treatment, not the material defect. Therefore, the temperature should be maintained at 200°C or higher during tempering after high-frequency heat treatment, and the cracking defect on the surface of the piston can be prevented by setting the feed rate to 1.3 mm/s or less during heat treatment.

Sewer condition assessment involves the determination of defective points and status of aged sewers by a CCTV inspection according to the standard manual. Therefore, it is important to establish a reliable and effective standard manual for identifying the sewer defect. In this study, analytic reviews of the CCTV inspection manuals of the UK, New Zealand, Canada and South Korea were performed in order to compare the defect codes and the protocols of condition assessment. Through this, we also established the standardized method for defect code and revised the calculation method of assigning the condition grade. Analyses of the types and frequencies of sewer defects that obtained by CCTV inspection of 7000 case results, showed that the joint defect and lateral defect were the most frequent defects that occurred in Korea. Some defect codes are found to be modified because those did not occur at all. This study includes a proposed new sewer defect codes based on sewer characteristics.

The defects occurred in knitted fabrics have several types due to some trouble sources. In particular, the defects caused by knitting machine troubles give a serious damage to the whole webs. It is, therefore, necessary to discriminate the kind of defects. The method to discriminate the type and size of defects has been proposed, which is used a pair of narrow band eliminating spatial filters. This method is based upon an isotropic signal processing in time domain. This paper is to confirm that the proposed method can be useful in the discrimination of defects, having analyzed in spatial frequency domain.
