In this study, the intention is the determination of the optimum laminate conditions for the improvement of the chemical resistance of the aluminum-pouch films that are widely used as a packaging material for the secondary battery. Here, the properties including the initial adhesive strength and the electrolyte resistance between the metal-film layer with aluminum and the sealant layer with cast polyprophylene (CPP) film were investigated. Regarding the lamination condition, the lamination temperature, speed, and pressure conditions were changed. A roll-to-roll dry lamination-coating system was used in the surface-treatment agent coating, adhesive coating, and film lamination. For the lamination conditions of the aluminum and CPP films, the initial adhesive strength of the laminated-pouch film manufactured with a 110oC temperature and a 6.0 M/min line speed is 1200 gf/15 mm. The measured adhesive strength of the 85oC electrolyte resistance after its immersion for 7 days is 600 gf/15 mm.

In an Additive Manufacturing (AM) system emplying the Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) system, polyamide-12 powder is currently recognized as the general material used. The Polyamide-12 powder’s properties include an average particle size of 58 ㎛, a density of 0.59 g/㎤, and melting point of 184℃, and can also be to used coat materials for metal powder. For this reason, the sintering process is similar to the polymer powder and polymer coated metal powder process, except during the post-process. The polyamide-12 powder has some disadvantages such as its high cost and the fact that it can only be used for the provided equipment from the maker. Therefore, this study aims to perform the applicability of new material, polymer and polymer coated metal, to the PBF system.

The laser Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) system is currently recognized as a leading process. Due to the various materials employed such as thermoplastic, metal and ceramic composite powder, the application’s use extends to machinery, automobiles, and medical devices. The PBF system’s surface quality of prototypes and processing time are significantly affected by several parameters such as laser power, laser beam size, heat temperature and laminate thickness. In order to develop a more elaborate and rapid system, this study developed a new PBF system and sintering process. It contains a 3-axis dynamic focusing scanner system that maintains a uniform laser beam size throughout the system unlike the fθ lens. In this study, experiments were performed to evaluate the effects of various laser scanning parameters and fabricating parameters on the fusion process, in addition to fabricating various 3D objects using a PA-12 starting material.
