현대 반도체 금속배선 연구에서는 기존에 쓰이던 Al (Aluminium) 금속배선 대신에 Cu(Copper) 금속배선 연구가 진행 되고 있다. Cu는 Al 보다 비저항이 낮고, 녹는점도 Al보다 높다는 장점이 있지만 저온에서 기판인 Si (Silicon) 과 반응하고 접착력이 우수하지 못 하다는 단점이 있다. 이런 문제를 해결하기 위하여 확산방지막을 기판과 금속배선 사이에 삽입하는 방법이 제시 되었다. 확산방지막으로는 기존에 쓰이던 Ti (Titanium) 계열의 확산방지막과 W (Tungsten) 계열의 확산방지막이 있다. 이번 연구에서는 W 계열의 확산방지막에 불순물 C (Carbon), N(Nitrogen)을 첨가한 W-C-N 확산방지막 시편을 제조하였고, N2의 비율을 변화시키며 $600^{\circ}C$ 열처리를 하였다. 실험 결과 질소의 포함 농도에 따라 확산방지막의 안정도가 변화한다는 결과를 얻었으며, 질소 첨가량에 따라 시편의 표면 보다는 시편의 중간층의 물성 변화율이 큰데 이는 시편 표면의 질소는 열처리 중 확산에 의한 시편과의 분리 현상이 일어나지만 시편의 중간층은 trap현상에 의하여 시편에 남아있어 질소의 영향을 받아 시편의 중간층이 더욱 질소 유량에 따른 영향이 큰 것을 확인하였다. 이 결과로부터 W-C-N 박막은 첨가된 질소의 유량에 따라 박막의 안정도가 결정된 다는 것을 알았다. 본 연구에서 시편은 rf magnetron sputtering 방법으로 제작하였고 연속압입 실험은 Hysitron사의 Triboindenter를 이용하였다. Indenting에 사용된 압입팁은 Berkovich tip을 사용하였다.

EBSD(Electron BackScattered Diffraction)분석은 주사전자현미경에서 관찰되는 비교적 넓은 영역의 결정 방위를 측정하여 집합조직을 해석하는 동시에 결정 방위의 변화를 기준으로 결정립계를 구분 지어 미세조직의 정량 분석도 가능하기 때문에 많은 연구자들이 사용하고 있다. 그러나 EBSD의 Kikuchi 패턴은 시편 표면으로부터 30~50nm 깊이 범위의 표면층으로부터 방출되기 때문에 EBSD 분석 결과는 시편의 표면 처리 상태에 크게 영향을 받아 적절한 시편준비법이 요구된다. 시편 준비 과정 중에 생기는 변형층, 산화층이나 오염층이 10nm 이내로 제어되지 못하면 명확한 패턴을 얻지 못하여 분석이 어려운 경우가 많으므로, 시료의 절단과 연마 과정 중에 변형층을 되도록 적게 만들고 표면의 산화나 오염을 최대한 방지해야 한다. 또한 EBSD 분석 특성상 시편을 70도로 기울이기 때문에 시편의 요철이 심하면 볼록한 영역에 의해 오목한 영역의 패턴이 가려져 결정방위 정보를 얻기 힘들다. 이런 이유로 시편을 최대한 평평하게 하고 요철이 생기지 않게 시편 준비를 하는 것이 관건이다. 금속재료의 EBSD 시편준비법으로는 일반적으로 기계적 연마법과 전해연마법이 주로 쓰인다. 경한 석출물이나 개재물이 연한 기지에 분산되어 있는 시편이나 이종 소재 접합재의 경우는 전해연마법을 사용하면 특정 상(혹은 합금)이 먼저 연마되어 큰 단차가 생기거나 석출물에 의해 요철이 심해져서 정량적인 EBSD 분석이 어렵게 된다. 이 연구에서는 시편 준비가 어렵다고 알려진 다상 금속재료에서의 EBSD 분석 사례를 소개한다. Ti-6Al-4Fe-0.25Si 시효처리합금, 알루미늄 기지 복합재료, 마찰교반용접한 알루미늄-타이타늄합금의 EBSD 시편준비법과 그 분석 결과를 고찰한다.

A study has been carried out on metal materials in order to identify the quantitative relation between the concentration and damage characteristics after evaluation of the damage characteristics according to the $SO_2$ concentration. The prepared metal samples, which were categorized according to the material (silver, copper, iron, lead, brass) were exposed to 0.01, 0.12, 1, 10, 100, 1,000, and 5,000ppm of $SO_2$ for 24 hours and the optical, physical, chemical deterioration rates both before and after testing were evaluated. The results showed optical deterioration, a loss of gloss on silver specimen with $SO_2$ 100ppm, an increase of color difference on brass, iron, copper and lead specimens with $SO_2$ 5,000ppm, as well as physical changes such as an increase of thickness and corrosion rate on iron sample with $SO_2$ 5,000ppm. In the case of chemical changes such as an increase sulfate ion ($SO{_4}^{2-}$) concentration and decrease of pH on iron and brass specimens were identified. These results suggest that $SO_2$ 100ppm caused clear optical deterioration on some metals such as silver and physicochemical and optical deterioration were identified at $SO_2$ 5,000ppm regardless of metal type. Also, It was concluded that iron and brass are the most susceptible of the metal specimens to $SO_2$.

Statement of problem: Ceramics have been important materials for the restoration of teeth. The demands of patients for tooth-colored restorations and the availability of various dental ceramics has driven the increased use of new types of dental ceramic materials. Improved physical properties of theses materials have expanded its use even in posterior crowns and fixed partial dentures. However, ceramic still has limitation such as low loading capability. This is critical for long-span bridge, because bridge is more subject to tensile force. Purpose: The wire reinforced ceramic was designed to increase the fracture resistance of ceramic restoration. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the fracture resistance of wire reinforced ceramic. Material and methods: Heat pressed ceramic(ingot No.200 : IPS Empress 2, Ivoclar Vivadent, Liechtenstein) and Ni-Cr wire(Alfa Aesar, Johnson Matthey Company, USA) of 0.41 mm diameter were used in this study. Five groups of twelve uniform sized ceramic specimens(width 4 mm, thickness 2 mm, length 15 mm) were fabricated. Each group had different wire arrangement. Wireless ceramic was used as control group. The experimental groups were divided according to wire number and position. One, two and three strands of wires were positioned on the longitudinal axis of specimen. In another experimental group, three strands of wires positioned on the longitudinal axis and five strands of wires positioned on the transverse axis. Three-point bending test was done with universal testing machine(Z020, Zwick, Germany) to compare the flexural modulus, flexural strength, strain at fracture and fracture toughness of each group. Fractured ceramic specimens were cross-sectioned with caborundum disc and grinded with sandpaper to observe interface between ceramic and Ni-Cr wire. The interface between ceramic and Ni-Cr wire was analyzed with scanning electron microscope(JSM-6360, JEOL, Japan) under platinum coating. Results: The results obtained were as follows: 1. The average and standard deviation in flexural modulus, flexural strength and fracture toughness showed no statistical differences between control and experimental groups. However, strain was significantly increased in wire inserted ceramics(P<.001). 2. Control group showed wedge fracture aspects across specimen, while experimental groups showed cracks across specimen. 3. Scanning electron microscopic image of cross-sectioned and longitudinally-sectioned specimens showed no gap at the interface between ceramic and Ni-Cr wire. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that wire inserted ceramics have a high strain characteristic. However, wire inserted ceramics was not enough to use at posterior area of mouth in relation to flexural modulus and flexural strength. Therefore, we need further studies.

A woodblock softening process using saltwater was investigated in order to reduce the cracks and distortion caused by the woodblock-making process and to make the woodblock softer and sculpturing easier. Although anatomical studies of woodblocks have been ongoing for years, little work has been done on softening treatments using natural materials. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the change in the physical properties of wood treated with saturated brine and the effect of salt on metal nails found embedded in woodblocks. After boiling for twelve h each in water and saturated brine, the saltwater-boiled specimens have longer drying times than the water-boiled specimens. Further, it was observed that salt particles penetrated the cells in the wood. As a result of exposing the copper and iron nails, which were stuck in each specimen, to a high humidity environment, the weight of the saltwater-boiled specimens increased due to the hygroscopicity of the salt. Corrosion of the nails also occurred. This result is similar to the problem that appears on the edge of a woodblock. In conclusion, it was shown that salt in the wood cells affects the corrosion of metal embedded in the wood.

Painting or thermally sprayed metal coating is often used in corrosion protection of steel structures. In recently, duplex coating system which combines thermally sprayed metals with paint is selected as a new generic type of coatings on steel structures under the highly corrosive environments. In this study, the structural steel specimens were surface treated, thermally sprayed with zinc, zinc-15%aluminum alloy, aluminum and aluminum-5%magnesium alloy, and finally sealing or painted with acrylic urethane. And as a reference specimens, steel specimens were painted with acrylic urethane after surface treatment. Circular defects with 1.0, 3.0 and 5.0 mm in diameters and line defect with 2.0 mm width, which reach the steel substrate were created on all specimens. The specimens were exposed into an environmental testing chamber controlled by the ISO 20340, which is a laboratory cyclic accelerated exposure test condition of spraying/UV/low temperature, for up to 175 days. Based on the corrosion tests, corrosion deterioration from the initial defects were evaluated and weathering performance of the specimens are compared.
