Brake disks for rolling stock are exposed to thermal fatigue during braking, and thermal cracks occur on surface of disks. Thermal cracks can cause serious accidents, deterioration of braking performance and increase of maintenance cost due to frequent exchange of friction materials. In this study, candidate materials with high-heat resistance were selected by searching the literature. By using cast specimens made of the candidate materials, chemical composition, crystal structure and graphite type were analyzed. In addition, friction coefficient and wear were measured and compared with values for the disk material in service. As a result, it was shown that the NiCrMo has highest tensile strength and lowest friction coefficient and the disk material in service has the most stable friction characteristics.

다이아몬드상 탄소 박막(Diamond-like carbon, DLC) 박막은 낮은 마찰 계수, 높은 내마모성, 화학적 안정성, 적외선 영역에서의 높은 투과율 등의 장점을 바탕으로 MEMS (Micro-Electro Mechanical System) 소자와 MMAs (Moving Mechanical Assemblies)의 고체윤활코팅, 마그네틱 미디어와 하드디스크의 슬라이딩 표면 등 다양한 분야에 코팅소재로써 응용되어왔다 [1,2]. 현재 전기철도용 집전판은 마찰이 적고 전도성을 지니는 카본 소재로 구성되어 있다. 그러나 그 마모 비율이 너무 심하여 이를 개선할 수 있는 방안으로 고경도 저마찰력을 지니는 DLC 박막을 코팅 소재로써 제안하고자 한다. 그러나 기존에 DLC 박막은 절연특성이 매우 우수하기 때문에 기존에 전도성을 지니는 카본 집전판에 적용하기에는 어려움이 따른다. 따라서 DLC 박막 내에 실리콘(Si) 또는 금속(Metal)을 첨가시키거나, 금속 중간층을 포함시켜 전기적으로 전도특성을 향상시키는 방안이 제시되고 있으며, 본 연구에서는 DLC 박막과 유사하게 우수한 경도특성을 지니고, 낮은 마찰계수등을 지니는 비정질 탄소박막을 연구하여 카본 집전판에 코팅하고자하며, 특히 비정질 탄소박막에 금속 Ti를 도핑하여 집전판과의 접착력과 전기적 전도 특성을 향상시키고자 한다. Ti가 도핑된 탄소박막(TiC) 박막은 비대칭 마그네트론 스퍼터링(unbalanced magnetron sputtering; UBMS) 시스템을 이용하여 제작하였으며, 스퍼터링 조건 중 기판에 인가되어지는 기판온도에 따라 변화되어지는 TiC 박막의 트라이볼로지(Tribology) 특성을 고찰하고자 하였다. 증착시 기판온도의 증가는 TiC 박막의 경도, 마찰계수 특성등 트라이볼로지 특성을 향상시켰으며, 전기적 전도 특성을 향상시켰다. 이러한 결과는 스퍼터링 방법에 의해 증착되어진 TiC 박막내에 존재하는 sp2 결합과 관계가 있음을 확인할 수 있으며, 트라이 볼로지 특성은 TiC 박막내에 sp2 탄소결합의 비율 증가와 관련되어졌다. 특히 sp2 탄소결합은 TiC 박막 증착시 증가된 기판온도와 밀접한 관계가 있으며 기판온도의 증가에 따라 나노결정 클러스터의 크기와 수의 변화와 밀접한 관계가 있음을 확인하였다. 결국 기판온도는 TiC 박막의 트라이볼로지 특성을 향상시켰으며, 전기적 특성 또한 향상시켜 전기철도 집전판에 응용을 위한 소재로 평가할 수 있다.

The treated water inside the ballast electrolytic cell creates a highly alkaline atmosphere due to hydroxide generated at the DSA(Dimension Stable Anode) electrode during electrolysis. In this study, a composite material that can replace the weakness of the PE-coated steel pipe used in the existing ballast pipe was prepared. The test samples are BRE(Basalt fiber reinforced epoxy), BRP(Basalt fiber reinforced unsaturated polyester), GRE(Glass fiber reinforced epoxy), and GRP(Glass fiber reinforced unsaturated polyester). And then it was immersed in NaOH for 720 hours. The friction test of each specimen was conducted. The Friction coefficient analysis according to material friction depth and interfacial adhesion behavior between resin and fiber were analyzed. As a result, the mechanism of interfacial separation between resin and fiber could be analyzed. In the case of the unsaturated polyester resin with low interfacial bonding strength the longer the immersion time in the alkaline solution, the faster the internal deterioration caused by the deterioration that started from the surface, resulting in a decrease in the friction coefficient. It is hoped that this study will help to understand the degradation behavior of composite materials immersed in various chemical solutions such as NaOH, acid, and sodium hypochlorite in the future.

Various solar hybrid energy conversion processes, which have both the advantages of renewable energy sources and fossil energy sources, have been developed in the world because stable and predictable energy supplies, such as electricity and natural gas, are necessary for modern societies. In particular, a solar hybrid energy conversion process based on a dual fluidized bed process concept has been expected as the promising solution for sustainable energy supply via thermochemical conversions, such as pyrolysis, combustion, gasification, and so on, because solar thermal energy could be captured and stored in fluidized bed materials. Therefore, the attrition and heat transfer characteristics of silicon carbide and alumina particles used for fluidized bed materials for the solar hybrid energy conversion process were studied in an ASTM D5757 reactor and a bubbling fluidized bed reactor with 0.14m diameter and 2m height. These characteristics of novel fluidized bed materials were compared with those of sand particles which have widely been used as a fluidized bed material in various commercial fluidized bed reactors. The attrition resistances of silicon carbide and alumina particles were higher than those of sand particles while the average values of heat transfer coefficient in the bubbling fluidized bed reactor were in the range of 125 ~ 152 W m^-2K^-1.

The objective of this research is to evaluate engineering properties of recycled aggregates, slag as coarse & fine aggregate and waste foundry sand(WFS) as fine aggregate, in hot mix asphalt(HMA). In this research, soundness, gradation and particle analysis, abrasion, specific gravity and absorption test were carried out. The optimum asphalt binder content(OAC) for various HMA combinations of recycled aggregate was determined by Marshall Mix Design. The ranges determined is between 7.2% and 7.5%. Indirect tensile test, resilient modulus test, creep test were carried out for characterization of rutting behavior of various combination of HMA. Judging from the limited tests, the HMA with recycled aggregates is not as good rutting resistance as the HMA with common aggregates. After finishing the Wheel tracking test, the application or feasibility for the use of recycled aggregate as asphalt paving material will be determined.

SCM415 steel for the control valve undergoes wear because of continuous movement between the valve and valve case. The wear of the valve interrupts the performance of the valve, and decreases the service life. In this study, wear characteristics of the as-received and carburized SCM415 steels are evaluated. The wear tests are conducted for various temperatures and loads using a reciprocating wear tester. From these results, wear loss, specific wear rate, and coefficient of friction are analyzed. The wear mechanism was analyzed by SEM. The interaction effects between loads and temperatures on wear loss are determined for analysis of variance using MINITAB.

In order to investigate the physical properties of rubber blend compound, this experiment was carried out on the cure rate, loss tangent, reinforcement and abrasion properties of S-SBR (solution styrene-butadiene rubber) blends containing silane coupled silica and E-SBR (emulsion styrene-butadiene rubber) blends containing carbon black as a model compound. E-SBR blend showed the highest total bound rubber(TBR), while S-SBR blends showed constant TBR level regardless of rubber type. Rapid cure rate was achieved when the styrene and vinyl content of rubber microstructure decreased and TBR content of rubber compounds increased. The modulus as the index of rubber reinforcement showed the linear relation with TBR content. The large amount of PICO loss was observed when the styrene and vinyl content of rubber microstructure increased, while the small amount of PICO loss was observed when the ratio of bu-tadiene increased in the S-SBR blends with silane copuled silica. The high loss tangent at $0^{\circ}C$, the low loss tangent at $60^{\circ}C$, and the large difference of loss tangent were shown in the S-SBR blends with high styrene content compared to E-SBR blend.

[ $Cu-TiB_2$ ] metal matrix composites with various weight fractions of $TiB_2$ were fabricated by combination of manufacturing process, SPS (self-propagating high-temperature synthesis) and SPS (spark plasma sintering). The feasibility of $Cu-TiB_2$ composites for welding electrodes and sliding contact material was investigated through experiments on the tensile properties, hardness and wear resistance. To obtain desired properties of composites, composites are designed according to reinforcement's shape, size and volume fraction. Thus proper modeling is essential to predict the effective material properties. The elastic moduli of composites obtained by FEM and tensile test were compared with effective properties from the original Eshelby model, Eshelby model with Mori-Tanaka theory and rule-of-mixture. FEM result showed almost the same value as the experimental modulus and it was found that Eshelby model with Mori-Tanaka theory predicted effective modulus the best among the models.

DLC(Diamond like Carbon)는 Diamond와 유사한 물리화학적 특성을 보유한 막으로 고경도 및 우수한 내마모성, 화학적 안정성의 특성을 가지고 있다. DLC는 크게 카본의 막 형성 공정에서 카본 소스에 따라 수소가 포함된 DLC와 무수소DLC로 구분된다. Tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) 박막은 DLC 박막 중에서 가장 다이아몬드와 유사한 특성을 가지는 박막으로, a:C-H에 비해 높은 열적안정성, 경도(50~60 GPa) 및 내마모 특성이 우수하여, 현재 다양한 응용분야에 적용하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 무수소 DLC 형성을 위해 자장필터가 장착된 Filtered Vacuum Arc Source(FVAS)를 자체적으로 개발하여 연구를 진행하였다. FVAS 장비는 카본 이온 발생부와 Plasma Duct 부위, 전자석부위 구성되어 있으며, 본 연구에서는 Plasma Duct 부위의 Bias 제어를 통해 음극에서 기판으로 이동하는 카본이온의 에너지와 flux 변화를 통한 박막 증착 거동 및 물성 연구를 진행하였다. Plasma Duct Bias 변화는 각 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 V 조건으로 진행하였으며, 물성 평가는 경도(Hardness), 마찰계수, 응력(Stress), 전기전도 특성에 대한 분석을 진행하였다. 박막의 증착 거동에서는 Plasma Duct bias 변화에 따라10 V에서 가장 높은 증착 거동을 가지다 감소하는 경향을 확인 하였으며, 박막의 물성 특성 평가 시에도 이와 유사하게 특성의 차이를 관찰하였다. 이는 음극부위에서 형성된 카본이온이 기판에 도달 시에 Plasma Duct Bias 변화에 따라 이온의 Flux 및 에너지 변화로 인해 박막의 밀도 및 ta-C 막의 물성 변화로 예상되며, 이를 분석하기 위해 라만분석 및 기판 도달 에너지 분석을 진행하였다
