The use of resin composites has continued to increase over the last several years. In spite of their growing popularity, composites continue to exhibit a number of undesirable characteristics. One of the major deficiencies of composite restorative resins is their inadequate resistance to wear. Of the multitude of factors that have been associated with wear, subsurface degradation within the restoration is considered to be one. The aim of this study was to evaluate the resistance to degradation of four commercial composite resins in an alkaline solution. This solution with a high concentration of hydroxyl ions is a convenient medium for accelerated degradation of silane coupling and filler particles. The brands studies were Definite($Degussa-H\ddot{u}ls$ AG, Germany), Prodigy(Kerr, USA), Pyramid(Bisco, USA) and Synergy(Coltene, Swiss). Preweighed discs of each brand were exposed to 0.1N NaOH solution at $60^{\circ}C$. After 14 days they were removed, neutralized with HCl, washed with water and dried. Resistance to degradation was evaluated on the basis of following parameters : (a) mass loss(%)-determined from pre-and post-exposed specimen weights : (b) Si loss(ppm)-obtained from ICP-AE analysis of solution exposed to specimens; and (c) degradation $depth({\mu}m)$-measured microscopically (SEM) from polished circular sections of exposed specimens. The results were follows: 1. Mass loss of Synergy was $1.24{\pm}0.002%$, it was the highest, there was no significant difference among the materials. 2. The degree of degradation layer depth of Synergy was $107.83{\pm}2.52{\mu}m$, it was the highest, there was no significant difference among any other materials than Synergy. 3. There was no difference among the four materials in Si loss. 4. The correlation coefficient between mass loss and degradation depth was relatively high(r=0.06, p<0.05). 5. There was no coefficient correlation between Si loss and mass loss, the degree of degradation layer depth and Si loss. 6. When observed with SEM, destruction of bonding is observed between resin matrix and filler.

Al합금과 경합을 하는 경량재료에는 금속재료로서는 Mg 및 Ti이 있는데, 이들 은 고가라는 단점이 있다. 또 비금속재료로는 플라스틱.수지등이 있는데, 산업폐기물 등의 문제가 있으나, Al합금은 재활용이 용이하다. 그러나 구조재료로서의 Al합금의 특성에는 아직 많은 결점을 가지고 있으며, 가장 큰 결점의 하나는 철강재료에 비하여 내마모성이 현저하게 떨어진다는 것이다. 그러므로 이 점이 개선된다면, Al합금은 경량구조용 재료로서 다양한 분야에서 철강재료를 대신할 수 있을 것으로 전망된다. Al합금에 대한 내마모특성을 부여하기 위한 종래의 표면경화기술로서는, 고경도합금 의 채용, 알루마이드처리등이 있는데, 충분한 경도가 얻어지지 않거나, 또는 고경도가 얻어져도 경화층의 깊이가 마이크론단위에 불과하여 고하중하에서의 내마모특성 등에 대한 문제가 있었다. 이들 방법 이외에도 PVD, CVD, 도금 등에 의한 표면피복 방법과 표면의 합금화에 의한 표면경화법 등에 있어서 여러 방법들이 있으나, 경도가 높고 또한 후막의 경화층으로서 박리의 위험이 적은 표면경화처리기술은 확립되어 있지 않다고 할 수 있다. 따라서, 이 분야에 대한 기술개발이 산업계로부터 강하게 요구되 고 있으며, 또한 이것과 관련된 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 본 해설에서는. 내마 모특성에 따른 Al후막기술의 현상과 그 대표적인 기술로서, 표면용융에 의한 합금화 를 이용하는 표면경화기술에 대하여 소개한다.

The effect of micro-pulse plasma nitriding temperature and time on the case thickness, hardness and nitride formation in the surface of Fe-12Cr-22Mn-X alloy with 3% Co and 1% Ti alloys elements investigated. External compound layer and internal diffusion layer was constituted in plasma nitride case of Fe-12Cr-22Mn-X alloys and formed nitride phase such as ${\gamma}'-Fe4N\;and\;{\varepsilon}-Fe2-3N$. Case depth increased with increasing the plasma nitriding temperature and time. Surface hardness of nitrided Fe-12Cr-22Mn-X alloys obtained the above value of Hv 1,600 and case depth obtained the above value of $45{\mu}m$ in Fe-12Cr-22Mn-3Co alloy and $60{\mu}m$ in Fe-12Cr-22Mn-1Ti alloy. Wear-resistance increased with increasing plasma nitriding time and showing the higher value in Fe-12Cr-22Mn-1Ti alloy than Fe-12Cr-22Mn-3Co alloy.

Micro EDM(Electric Discharge Machining) is one of the most powerful technologies which are capable of fabricating micro-structure without any problems from high cutting force. However, there is a significant defect in the part machining with deep holes or pockets, because debris which are generated by electric discharging may frequently cause a short circuit between an electrode and workpiece material. Vibration flushing can reduce the undesirable phenomena with dynamic flow of EDM fluid in a deep and choked area. In this study, Vibration flushing with solenoid is suggested and the results show that the method can generate a remarkable EDM efficiency with high amplitude at a low frequency in comparison with current vibration flushing methods with high frequency using piezo actuators.

One of the major factors affecting maneuverability of an athlete is frictional force caused at an outsole of his shoe. The magnitude of the frictional force is closely related to pattern and hardness of outsole and roughness of ground or floor. This study then focuses on the effect of outsole pattern of sports shoes on the frictional force. After surveying outsole patterns of sports shoes in markets, we select 4 types of outsole patterns, such as straight, W, O, and wave as primary outsole patterns of sports shoe and we also select depth, pitch and slope as design parameters of each pattern. Corresponding to those patterns and design parameters, various outsole specimen are prepared for frictional experiments. After performing frictional tests with those specimen, coefficients of friction(COF) are collected and analyzed with a statistical tool to draw useful conclusion.

고분자 재료에 이온을 주입함으로서 경도, 내마모, 내피로성의 기계적인 특성과 내부식성 등의 화학적 특성이 향상되며, 표면 전기전도도와 광학밀도(optical density)가 변한다. 본 연구에서는 MPPO(Modified-Polyphenlene Oxide) 표면에 N2, Ar, Xe 이온을 에너지 50keV, 선량(dose)을 1$\times$1015에서 1$\times$1017ions/cm2로 증가시키면서 조사하였다. 이온 조사량의 증가에 따라 표면 저항이 2$\times$1015에서 6$\times$106($\Omega$/$\square$)으로 감소하여 표면 전기전도도가 향상되었다. Ar 이온은 1016ion/cm2이하의 조사량(dose)에서 N2보다 표면 저항을 더 많이 감소하는데 반해 1016ion/cm2 이상의 조사량에서는 Ar과 N2의 표면 저항이 비슷한 값을 나타냈다. Xe은 Ar과 N2이온에 비하여 전체적으로 표면저항이 많이 감소하여 전도도의 향상은 Xe, Ar, N2 순서로 질량이 큰 이온이 조사 효과가 큰 것으로 나타났다. 소재 표면은 SIMS 분석을 통하여 깊이에 따른 주입이온의 분포를 관찰하였으며, 표면 색상은 황색에서 갈색을 거쳐 암갈색으로 변화함으로서 가시광선에 대한 반사율(reflectance)이 감소하고 광학밀도(optical density)가 증가하여 광학적 특성이 변하였다. 이온 주입 후 에너지 전이에 의한 효과는 optical gap를 감소시켜 광학밀도(optical density)와 표면 전기 전도도를 증가시킨다. 이에 따라 본 논문에서는 이온주입에 의한 광학적, 전기적 특성간의 상관관계를 밝히고자 한다.

The composite restorative resins have their insufficient resistance to wear. The subsurface degradation within the restoration is considered to be associated with wear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the resistance to degradation of six commercial composite resins in an alkaline solution. The brands studied were Clearfil APX(Kuraray), Heliomolar(Vivadent), Surefil(Dentsply), TPH(Dentsply), Tetric Ceram(Vivadent), and Z100(3M). Preweighed discs of each brand were exposed 0.1N NaOH solution at $60^{\circ}C$. After 14 days they were removed, neutralized with HCL, washed with water and dried to constant mass at $60^{\circ}C$. Resistance to degradation was evaluated on the basis of the following parameters: (a) mass loss(%) - determined from pre-and post-exposure specimen weights; (b) Si loss (ppm)-obtained from ICP-AE analysis of solution exposed to specimens; and (c) degradation depth$({\mu}m)$ - measured microscopically (SEM) from polished circular sections of exposed specimens. The results were as follows: 1. The mass loss was in descending order by Z100, TC H, S, CL, TPH and in the range of $0.45\sim3.64%$ 2. The degradation layer depth was in descending order by H, Z100, S, TC, TPH, CL and in the range of $10.85\sim73.38{\mu}m$ 3. For the Si concentration, Z100 was the highest of all 4. The highly significant correlation(r=0.81, p<0.05) was observed between mass loss and degradation depth. 5. Under scanning electronmicroscopy, the degradation of connection between resin matrix and fillers was observed 2 weeks after soaking in NaOH solution.

RCCA(rod cluster control assembly) End-Tip suffers from neutron irradiation and constant vibration due to high-speed internal flow of primary coolant during plant operation. Such operating conditions cause the RCCA end-tip crackings around tile circumferential weldment of the end-tip, and in some cases, the defective end-tips were completly broken loose. However, no reliable inspection techniques for end-tip crackings were developed in the past, although some techniques exist for inspecting RCCA control rod wears. Therefore, NDE group at KEPRI has developed an ECT technique for the detection and the sizing of the end-tip crackings. The technique uses a specially designed surface-riding probe that can detect size of circumferential crackings with an accuracy of ${\pm}5.31%$ RMS error. This paper describes the ECT instrumentation including the ECT probes, calibration bars, as well as technical approaches.
