Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of using laser for ceramic bracket bonding of porcelain surfaces and to compare it with conventional treatment of porcelain surfaces. Methods: Ninety feldspathic porcelain specimens were divided into 9 groups of 10, with each group having different surface treatments performed. Surface treatment groups were orthophosphoric acid, orthophosphoric acid with silane, hydrofluoric acid, hydrofluoric acid with silane, sandblasted, sandblasted with silane, laser etched, laser etched with silane, and glazed surface served as a control group. In the laser etched groups, the specimens were irradiated with 2-watt superpulse carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) laser for 20 seconds. Ceramic brackets were bonded with light-cure composite resin and all specimens were stored in water at $37^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours. Shear bond strength was determined in megapascals (MPa) by shear test at 1 mm/minute crosshead speed and the failure pattern was assessed. For statistical analysis, one-way ANOVA and tukey test were used. Results: Statistical analysis showed significant differences between the groups. The HFA + S group showed the highest mean shear bond strength ($13.92{\pm}1.94\;MPa$). This was followed by SB + S ($10.16\;{\pm}\;1.27\;MPa$), HFA ($10.09\;{\pm}\;1.07\;MPa$), L + S ($8.25\;{\pm}\;1.24\;MPa$), L ($7.86\;{\pm}\;0.96\;MPa$), OFA + S ($7.22\;{\pm}\;1.09\;MPa$), SB ($3.41\;{\pm}\;0.37\;MPa$), OFA ($2.81\;{\pm}\;0.37\;MPa$), G ($2.46\;{\pm}\;1.36\;MPa$), Bond failure patterns of HFA and silane groups, except L + S, were cohesive modes in porcelain while adhesive failure was observed in the control group and the rest of the groups. Conclusions : A 2-watt superpulse $CO_2$ laser etching of porcelain surfaces can provide a satisfactory result for porcelain surface treatment for ceramic bracket bonding. Laser irradiation may be an alternative conditioning method for the treatment of porcelain surfaces.

본 논문에서는 Nd:YAG($\lambda$=266 nm, pulse) 레이저빔을 PDMS 표면에 조사하여, 소수성 물질인 PDMS를 친수성 물질로 개질하였다. 이미 산소 플라즈마를 이용한 것과 오존을 이용한 PDMS 표면 개질에 관한 논문이 발표되었는데, 레이저를 이용한 표면 개질은 간단한 레이저 빛의 조사만으로 표면을 개질할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 레이저를 이용하여 PDMS 를 표면처리한 후에 접촉각 측정기를 이용해서 측정한 결과 접촉각 감소가 있었다. 묘면에 산소 함유량이 증가한 것을 확인함으로써 친수성 물질로의 표면 개질됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

In LSP (laser shock peening) treatment, the laser source geometries when the laser beam strikes the metal target area are diverse. The laser spot geometry affects the residual stress field beneath the treated surface of the metallic materials, which determines the characteristics of the pressure pulse. In this paper, detailed finite-element (FE) simulations on laser shock peening have been conducted in order to predict the magnitude and of the residual stresses and the depth affected in Inconel alloy 600 steel. The residual stress results are compared for circular, rectangular, and elliptical laser spot geometries. It is found that a circular spot can produce the maximum compressive residual stresses near the surface but generates tensile residual stresses at the center of the laser spot. In the depth direction, an elliptical laser spot produces the maximum compressive residual stresses. Circular and elliptical spots plastically affect the alloy to higher depths than a rectangular spot.

Mold may experience deterioration of molding quality as the abrasion of mold occurring due to friction between mold and molded product works as allowance in the course of press process. Therefore, to improve the wear-resistance of mold, methods like nitriding, carburizing, flame and induction surface hardening treatment etc have been applied. However, as such methods are accompanied by problems like shape limitation or product deformation etc, laser surface treatment technology is under review as surface treatment method that can solve such problems. Therefore, in this study, mold material cast iron was surface-treated by using high power diode laser. In previous report 1 and report 2, the heat treatment characteristics were compared by the differences of die materials and shapes, then this paper observed microstructure by using optical microscope and scanning electronic microscope to analyze the structural difference of hardened zone, interface area and base metal after heat treatment. And the structural condition was grasped through EDS. As a result of microstructure, hardened zone showed formation of acicular martensite.

Surface treatment was carried out by an Excimer Pulse laser beam in order to increase the adhesive strength of vulcanized rubber. With increasing number of laser beam irradiations, the adhesive strength was greatly increased; the adhesive strength was 1,500 N/m after irradiation 100 times. The energy density increase was in direct proportion to the adhesive strength increase; the maximum value of the adhesive strength was 1,500 N/m at the energy density of 176 mJ/$cm^{2}$. It was concluded that the increase of surface area was relevant to that of both energy density and adhesive strength

Laser-generated ultrasonic technique which is one of the reliable nondestructive evaluation techniques has been applied to evaluate the integrity of structures by analyzing the characteristics of signal obtained from surface crack. Therefore, the signal analysis of the laser-generated ultrasonics is absolutely necessary for the accurate and quantitative estimation of the surface defects. In this study, one-sided measurement by laser-generated ultrasonic has been applied to evaluate the depth of the surface-breaking crack in the materials. However, since the ultrasonic waveform excited by pulse laser is very difficult to distinguish the defect signals, it is necessary to consider the signal analyses of the transient waveform. Wavelet Transform(WT) is a powerful tool for processing transient signals with temporally varying spectra that helps to resolve high and low frequency transient components effectively. In this paper, the analyses of the surface-breaking crack of the ultrasonic signal excited by pulse laser are presented by employing the WT analyses.

원전 증기 발생기 재료로 사용되는 Alloy 600의 내부식성 향상을 위하여 레이저 범을 이용한 레이저 표면합금화(Laser Surface Alloying, LSA) 방법을 이용, 표면에 약 200$\mu\textrm{m}$ 두께의 합금층을 형성시켰다. 첨가한 원소는 크롬 또는 크롬과 니켈의 혼합체를 사용하였으며 첨가법으로는 도금과 용사를 이용하였다. 용사법으로 만든 LSA 시편의 특성과 문제점에 대해 고찰하고 이러한 문제점을 해결하는 방법으로 크롬 도금법을 택하였다. 이들 결과를 레이저 처리를 하지 않은 시편들과 비교하여 부식 거동을 분석하였다. 분석 결과 LSA 시편의 경우 As-received 시편, 레이저 표면 용융(LSM) 들과 비교해 아주 우수한 내부식성을 가졌으며 입계 내부식성도 크게 증가하였다. 이는 크롬 첨가로 인해 크롬의 농도가 많아져 부동태 피막의 형성이 쉬워졌기 때문으로 해석되었다.
