In this paper, 23 Silla gold earrings from the sixth and seventhand centuries, excavated from the Yeongnam region, were analyzed. Based on the silver content of the gold plate, they were classified into three types. The classifications included type I(20-50wt%), type II(10-20wt%) and type III (less than 10wt%). In the analysis process, the composition and morphological differences were identified on the surface of the gold plate. In the case of type I and II earrings, it was observed that the fine holes were concentrated in a relatively higher part of the gold content. The causes of the difference in the surface composition of the gold plate were divided into four categories: 1) surface treatment, 2) thermal diffusivity in the manufacturing process, 3) differences in composition of alluvial gold, and 4) the refining method of gold. It is possible that depletion gilding was attempted to increase the gold content while intentionally removing the other metals from the surface of the gold alloy in the portion where the gold deposit is relatively concentrated on the surface of the gold plating. The highest copper content was detected in the earring with the highest gold content of the analyzed earrings, and it was assumed that thermal diffusion had occurred between the gold plate and the metal rod during the manufacturing process rather than intentional addition. Copper was detected only in the thin ring earring type, and copper was not detected in the thick ring earring type or pendant type. It also proves that this earring has a high degree of tightness at higher temperatures, as there was an invisible edge finish on other earrings and horizontal wrinkles on the gold plate surface. In terms of the material of the gold plate, we examined whether the silver content of the gold plate was natural gold or added by alloy through analyzing the alluvial gold collected in the region. As a result of the analysis, it was found that on average about 13wt% of silver is included. This suggests that type II is natural gold, type III is refined gold, and type I seems to have been alloyed with natural gold. Here, we investigated the refining method introduced in the ancient literature, both at home and abroad, about the possibility of alloying silver after the refining process of type III earrings and then making pure gold. It was found that from ancient refining methods, silver which had been present in the natural gold was removed by reacting and combining with silver chloride or silver sulfide, and long-term efforts and techniques were required to obtain pure gold through this method. Therefore, it was concluded that the possibility of adding a small amount of silver in order to increase strength after making pure gold through a refining process is low.

The effect of Ni-rich phase on the stress-rupture properties of Ni mlcroalloyed W were studied using direct load creep tester at 100$0^{\circ}C$, 110$0^{\circ}C$, and 120$0^{\circ}C$ in $H_2.$ The stress rupture strength of 100hrs. of W-0.4wt% Ni was 43% higher at 100$0^{\circ}C$ and 35% higher at 110 $0^{\circ}C$than that of W-0.2wt% Ni due to the larger initial grain size, the higher relative density and the higher grain growth during test. That of W-0.8wt% Ni was 90% higher at 100$0^{\circ}C$ and 60% higher at 110$0^{\circ}C$ than that of W-0.2wt% Ni. The activation energy of W-0.4wt% Ni for creep was 81.3 Kcal/mole. It was considered that creep deformation was controlled by the diffusion of W in the Ni rich phase between the grains and the deformation of grains. All of the specimens showed intergranular fracture by grain boundary cavitation and growth of cavity throughout the entire spcimen cross-section.

In this study, the experimental study has been performed by varying the polarization of the electric field and impact force to check the piezoelectric characteristics of piezoelectric paint sensor. Piezoelectric paint sensor used in this study is composed of epoxy resin with a hardener and PNN-PZT powder in 1:1 weight ratio. The dimensions of the paint sensor specimen are $40{\times}40{\times}1mm^3$ and regular specimens were made using a mold. The voids are removed from the specimen in the vacuum desiccator. Both upper side and bottom side of the paint sensor were coated with silver paste for making an electrode and then dried at room temperature for a day. The poling treatment has been carried out under controlled conditions of the electric field in order to check the effect of piezoelectric sensitivities, while the poling temperature was fixed at room temperature and the poling time was set to 30 min. The piezoelectric sensitivities have been measured by comparing output voltage from paint sensor with output force from impact hammer when the impact hammer hits the paint sensor. In result, the effect of the electric field has been evaluated for the sensitivity and describe the result.

AISI 4600 Iron powder was mixed with 0~1.0% phosphor as F$e_2$P powder and/or 0~0.8% carbon as graphite powder in rotating mixer. Mixed powder was pressed 800MPa in double-punch mould. Compacts were sintered at 115$0^{\circ}C$for 30 min. in vacuum or mixed hydrogen and nitrogen gas. Sintered compacts were ground and polished, and etched by 2% nital etchant. The microstructure was observed by image analyzer and optical microscope. Density and microhardness were tested by ASTM B3l2 and Microvickers hardness tester. The results obtained were as follows : (1) As the amount of F$e_2$P powder increased, sintered microstructure showed more densified effect and the grain size was larger. (2) The shape of pore was rounded and the number of pore was decreased by F$e_2$P addition. But mean pore size was larger with F$e_2$P content. (3) Simultaneous alloying addition of F$e_2$P and graphite brought about larger grain growth than respective addition. (4) Sintering atmosphere did not affect the microstructure. (5) Hardness of sintered compact increased with phosphrous and carbon content.

The sintering characteristics of PVA-Al(III) complex added $UO_2$ pellet and AlOOH added $UO_2$pellet were compared. The major phase of PVA-Al(III) complex and AlOOH decomposed at $1000^{\circ}C$ in $H_2$atmosphere was $\theta-Al_2O_3$. Compared with the apparent density of pure $UO_2$, that of AlOOH added $UO_2$ powder was higher but that of PVA-Al(III) complex was lower. the densification of AlOOH added $UO_2$ pellet was initiated at about $800^{\circ}C$, the densification of PVA-Al(III) complex added $UO_2$ pellet was initiated at about $900^{\circ}C$ respectively. In a view of pore size distribution, the PVA-Al(III) complex added $UO_2$ pellet appeared as monomodal type, whereas the AlOOH added $UO_2$ pellet appeared as bimodal type. The grain size of AlOOH added $UO_2$ pellet was about $13\mu\textrm{m}$ but the grain size of PVA-Al(III) complex added $UO_2$ pellet was increased up to about $36\mu\textrm{m}$.

This research tried to find out the optimum fabrication method of calcined clay granules comprising zeolite. Kaolin clay and natural zeolite powder were used as raw materials of calcined clay, and silica stone powder was used for controlling the porosity of the granules. The granulation was performed with two kinds of granulators: a pan granulator and a high-shear mixer granulator. Various granules were fabricated by the mixing ratios and the rotation speeds of the granulators, and were heated from 400 to $700^{\circ}C$ at $100^{\circ}C$ interval. The crushing strength, pore size distribution, and CEC of the granules were measured. The evaluation method for the resistance of granules to human treading was created and the tests were conducted at dry and wet conditions. The resistance and crushing strength improved in proportion to the rotation speed of the granulator and the heating temperature, but the CEC decreased. The pellet made by the pan granulator did not have the strength against treading upon heating to below $700^{\circ}C$, but the pellet made by the high-shear mixer granulator endured the treading test upon heating to over $500^{\circ}C$

In this paper the manufacture of shrinkage-free in situ Mullite-ZrO$_2$ceramics through the addition of Al base metal powder to the mixture of ZrSiO$_4$and A1$_2$O$_3$was attempt. The ZrO$_2$-strengthened mullite ceramics was prepared after the following reaction form, 3(Al+Al$_2$O$_3$)+2ZrSiO$_4$longrightarrow3A1$_2$O$_3$.2SiO$_2$+2ZrO$_2$Al metal powder was added from none to 30 weight percent to the A1$_2$O$_3$. The powders were mechanically mixed, isostatically pressed and reaction sintered at 1450-1$600^{\circ}C$ for 3hours. The specimens were sintered with and without intrim soaking time for 5 hours at 125$0^{\circ}C$ for the oxidation of Al-powder The addition of aluminium accelerates the reaction and compensate the shrinkage during the sintering through an increase in volume of oxidized Al. Because coarse flake type Al metal powders were not effectively milled, oxidized Al resulted in the relative large pore in the specimen.

생체재료의 표면은 이식과 동시에 생체계면의 역할을 하게 되어, 일련의 생물학적 반응이 시작되고 진행되는 중요한 장소가 된다. 초기에 생체계면에서 일어나는 단백질 흡착이나 염증반응을 비롯한 생물학적 반응들은 궁극적으로 임플란트의 성패를 좌우할 만큼 중요하다. 골융합을 개선하기 위한 다른 방법으로 생체불활성의 타이타늄 (Ti)과 골조직의 능동적인 반응을 이루기 위해 생체활성 표면을 부여함으로서 계면에서의 골형성 반응을 증진시키는 방법이 이용된다. 생체불활성의 Ti과 Ti합금은 골조직과 직접적인 결합을 이루지 못하므로, 골조직과의 반응을 향상하기 위해 여러 종류의 생체활성 재료를 코팅하는 방법이 연구되어 왔고, 이 중 생체의 변화와 가장 유사한 하이드록시아파타이트 코팅이 가장 대중적인 방법으로 사용되었으며 이는 초기 골형성을 촉진하는 것으로 알려졌다. 치과용 임플란트의 표면형상과 화학조성이 골 융합에 영향을 미치는 가장 중요한 인자이므로 최근의 연구동향은 이들 두 가지 표면특성을 결합함으로서 결과적으로 최적의 골세포반응을 유도하고, 골융합 후 골조직과의 micromechanical interlocking에 의해 임플란트의 안정성에 중요한 역할을 하는 마이크론 단위의 표면조도와 표면 구조를 유지하면서, 부가적으로 골 조직 반응을 능동적으로 개선할 수 있는 생체활성 성분을 부여하여 골 융합에 상승효과를 이루기 위한 표면처리법에 관해 많은 연구가 요구되어지고 있다. 따라서 골을 구하는 원소인 망간과 실리콘으로 치환된 하이드록시아파타이트를 플라즈마 전해 산화법으로 코팅하여 세포와 잘 결합할 수 있는 표면을 제공함으로써 골 융합과 치유기간을 단축시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 실험방법은 시편은 치과 임플란트 제작 합금인 Ti-6Al-4V ELI disk (grade 5, Timet Co., USA; diameter, 10 mm, thickness, 3 mm)이며, calcium acetate monohydrate, calcium glycerophosphate, manganese(II) acetate tetrahydrate, sodium metasilicate을 설계조건에 따라 혼합 제조된 전해질 용액을 이용하여 플라즈마 전해 산화법으로 표면 코팅을 실시하였다. 각 시편의 플라즈마 전해시 전압은 280V로 인가하였고, 전류밀도는 70mA로 정전류를 공급하여 해당 인가전압 도달 후 3분 동안 정전압 방식을 유지하였다. 코팅된 피막 표면을 주사전자현미경과 X-선 회절분석을 통하여 미세구조 및 결정상을 관찰하였다. 또한 코팅된 표면의 생체활성 평가는 정량적으로 평가하기 위해 동전위시험과 AC 임피던스를 통하여 시행하였다. 분극거동을 확인하기 위해 potentiostat (Model PARSTAT 2273, EG&G, USA)을 이용하여 구강 내 환경과 유사한 $36.5{\pm}1^{\circ}C$의 0.9 wt.% NaCl에서 실시하였다. 전기화학적 부식 거동은 potentiodynamic 방법으로 조사하였고 인가전위는 -1500 mV에서 2000 mV까지 분당 1.67 mV/min 의 주사속도로 인가하여 시험을 수행하였다. 임피던스 측정은 potentiostat (Model PARSTAT 2273, EG&G, USA)을 이용하였으며, 측정에 사용한 주파수 영역은 10mHz ~ 100kHz 까지의 범위로 하여 조사하였고 ZSimWin(Princeton applied Research, USA) 소프트웨어를 사용하여 용액의 저항, 분극 저항 값을 산출하였다. 망간의 함량이 증가할수록 불규칙한 기공을 보였으며, 실리콘은 $TiO_2$ 산화막 형성을 저해하는 경향을 확인할 수 있었다. 단독으로 표면을 처리한 경우보다 두 가지 원소를 이용해 복합 표면처리를 시행한 경우가 내식성이 좋아 임플란트과의 골 유착에 긍정적인 영향을 미칠 것으로 사료된다.

전자부품의 내부접속 및 파워반도체의 다이본딩과 같은 1차실장에는 고온환경에서의 사용과 2차실장에서의 재용융방지를 위해 높은 액상선온도 및 고상선온도를 필요로 하여, Pb-5wt%Sn, Pb-2.5wt%Ag로 대표되는 납성분 85%이상의 고온솔더가 널리 사용되고 있다. 생태계와 인체에 대한 납의 유해성이 보고된 이래, 무연솔더에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되어 왔으나, Sn-Ag-Cu계로 대표되는 Sn계 합금으로 대체 중인 중온용 솔더와는 달리, 고온용 솔더에 대해서는 대체합금에 대한 연구가 미흡한 실정이다. 대체재의 부재로 인해 기존의 납을 다량함유한 솔더로 1차실장이 지속됨으로서, 2차실장의 무연화에도 불구하고 전자부품 및 기기의 재활용에 큰 어려움을 겪고 있다. 지금까지 고온용 무연솔더로서는 융점에 근거해 Au-(Sn, Ge, Si)계, Bi-Ag계, Zn-(Al, Sn)계의 극히 제한된 합금계만이 보고되어 왔다. Au계 솔더는 현재 플럭스를 사용하지 않는 광학, 디스플레이 분야 등 고부가가치 공정에 사용되고 있으나, 합금가격이 매우 비싸며 가공성이 나빠 대체재료로서는 적합하지 않다. Bi-Ag계 솔더 또한 취성합금으로 와이어 및 박판으로 가공하는데 어려움이 크며, 솔더로서 중요한 특성중 하나인 전기전도도 및 열전도도가 나쁜 편이다. 이에 비해, Zn계 합금은 비교적 낮은 합금가격, 적절한 가공성과 뛰어난 인장강도, 우수한 전기전도도 및 열전도도를 지녀, 고온용솔더 대체재료의 유력한 후보로 생각된다.이전 연구에서, 필자의 연구그룹은 Zn-Sn계 합금을 고온용 무연솔더로서 제안한 바 있다. Zn-Sn계 합금은 충분히 높은 융점과 함께, 금속간화합물이 없는 미세조직, 우수한 기계적 특성, 높은 전기전도도 및 열전도도 등의 장점을 나타내었다. 본 연구에서는 기초합금특성상 고온솔더로서 다양한 장점을 지닌 Zn-30wt%Sn합금을 고온용 솔더의 대표적인 적용의 하나인 다이본딩에 적용하여, 접합부의 강도 및 미세조직, 열피로 신뢰성에 대해 분석을 함으로서 실제 공정에의 적용가능성에 대해 검토하였다. Zn-30wt%Sn을 이용해 Au/TiN(Titanium nitride) 코팅한 Si다이를 AlN-DBC(aluminum nitride-direct bonded copper)기판에 접합한 결과, 양측에 완전히 젖은 기공이 없는 양호한 다이접합부를 얻었으며, 솔더내부에는 금속간화합물을 형성하지 않았다. Si다이와의 계면에는 TiN만이 존재하였으며, Cu와의 계면에는 Cu로부터 $Cu_5Zn_8,\;CuZn_5$의 반응층을 형성하였다. 온도사이클시험을 통한 열피로특성평가에서, Zn-30wt%Sn를 이용한 다이접합부는 1500사이클 지점에서 Cu와 Cu-Zn금속간화합물의 사이에서 피로균열이 형성되며, 접합강도가 크게 감소하였다. 열피로특성 향상을 위해 Cu표면에 TiN코팅을 하여 Zn-30wt%Sn 솔더로 다이접합한 결과, Si다이와 기판 양측에 TiN만으로 구성된 계면을 형성하였으며, TEM관찰을 통해 Zn-30wt%Sn과 극히 미세한 접합계면이 형성하고 있음을 확인하였다. Zn-wt%30Sn솔더와 TiN층의 병용으로 2000사이클까지 미세조직의 변화 및 강도저하가 없는 극히 안정된 고신뢰성의 다이접합부를 얻을 수가 있었다.

Bead type super-absorbent resins to be used for release-control were prepared by modification of the inverse suspension polymerization, and their physical properties were characterized. Acrylic acid and acrylamide were used as monomers, and N,N-methylenebisacrylamide was used as crosslinker, controlling the viscosity of monomer solution by adding hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC). SEM studies of the synthesized beads verified that the bead surfaces had many pores with their diameters of several tens nm. The bead sizes were in the range of $500{\sim}3000{\mu}m$, depending on the viscosity of the monomer solution. Both absorbent amount and absorbent rate of the beads were inversely proportional to the bead size, and the maximum water absorbent amount of 1 g beads was determined to be ca. 170~200 g for 5 hrs. The absorbent rate was also dependent on pH change of the aqueous solution, exhibiting the maximum rate in pH ranging from 5 to 11. The absorbent rate decreased as the concentration of salt (NaCl and $MgCl_2$) or ethanol and ethylene glycol increased. Release time of the water absorbed into the bead resins was 700 hrs, confirming the usefulness of the resin for the good release-control materials.
