Silver objects tarnish with black from reaction with sulfurous acid or hydrogen sulfide of atmospheric. Blackening of silver objects results from formation of silver sulfide($Ag_2O$) on the surface. Silver sulfide usually is usually removed by conservation treatment. There are several cleaning methods such as chemical, electrochemical and micro-abrasion cleaning, but all of them consume silver. This study investigated the safe and effective parameter of laser cleaning by test on silver coupons. Laser cleaning is a selective process for the removal of specific substances. At first, laser cleaning applied to plain silver coupons, which were not corroded, to find out the safe range of laser energy density. From results, plain silver coupons were not changed at 1064nm below $4.00J/cm^2$ and at 532nm below $2.39J/cm^2$. The corrosion layer(silver sulfide) of artifical corroded silver coupons was removed at 1064nm with $2.39J/cm^2$ by 5~10 pulses and at 532nm with $1.19J/cm^2$ by 5~10 pulses. The removal thickness of corrosion layer was about 13-25nm per a laser pulse using AES analysis. In addition, laser cleaning tested the tarnish silver rings based on the results of silver coupons. As a result of test, the black surface were clean successfully and gave luster of silver, which showed the application possibility of laser cleaning for silver objects.

The purpose of this study was to determine the technical feasibility of making 3-dimensional thin hardboard panels for overlay substitutes of low grade particleboard and plywood panels. Experimental studies were directed at assembling bench-top apparatus, learning the characteristics of different types of lignocellulosic waste papers, for making thin hardboard with several combinations of them with and without resin addition. The raw materials used are waste corrugated cartons, cereal boxes, and old magazines which contain substantial amount of lignin in it. The experimental results showed that satisfactory thin(0.21~0.16cm) hardboard could be made from the residential mixed waste papers that have selected properties comparable to commercial 0.32cm hardboard. The significant mixing ratio effect of the waste papers was present on the thickness swelling, water absorption, linear expansion, and modulus of elasticity including Taber abrasion tests of the thin hardboard made. The mixing ratio of waste papers and resin in the thin hardboard prominently affected the specific gravity of it, which led to affect modulus of elasticity and those physical properties sensitively. And it was shown that the hardboard containing those physical properties can be used for overlay substitutes of low grade plywood and particleboard panels.

When investigating old, printed documents, determining whether a work is printed on a woodblock or using a movable metal type is crucial. It is because the history of printing in Korea and across the world relies on determining the relevant printing invention used and the time of use of the movable metal type. Deciphering details from woodblock and metal prints requires various kinds of information regarding the imprint and the work's printing background, such as information on the characters in the printed document, the outline of the pages, the type of ink used, the production period of the ink, and the production period of the Korean paper. Analyzing such information can generally reveal the production period and the methods used on the old document. However, as such information is not documented systematically, relying on the researcher's judgment based on their experience and perception becomes inevitable. This study conducted an experimental investigation of the printing characteristics of woodblock prints using a replicated woodblock of the Wanpanbon edition of the Shimcheongjeon. Subsequently, the various phenomena and characteristics appearing on the woodblock prints were documented for future reference to determine the printing method of old documents. Finally, woodblock novels without an imprint may be used as a reference to estimate the printing dates by determining the degree of wear on the woodblock.

This study proposes a method for predicting the reliability of the barrel in small arms by analyzing the dispersion. The periodicity with which the barrel needs to be changed can be determined by detecting the inner surface directly or by inspecting scratches inside the barrel using an optical sensor. However, soldiers and directors in the logistics command need a more easy way to check the periodicity of barrel. Therefore, this study focuses on the relation between the firing round and the dispersion. A simple equation can be experimentally derived from pre-tests and analyses. This equation is confirmed through firing tests. In this sense, it can be easily applied to determine the periodicity with which the barrel of small arms needs to be changed in the field army.

In this paper, the heat transfer characteristics of PCB (Printed Circuit Board) with cabon CCL (Copper Claded Layer) were studied through experiments and numerical analysis to compare of PCBs with conventional the FR-4 core and heavy copper cores. For study, samples are producted with HDI (High Density Interconnection) PCB of mobile phone with variations of thickness of core materials and grades of carbon material to evaluate heat transfer characteristics respectively. From this research results, heat transfer characteristics of the carbon core was rather low than heavy copper, but better than FR-4 core. In addition, even though the carbon and heavy copper core contributed on the heat transfer characteristics as their thickness increases, FR-4 cores disturbed heat transfer characteristics as it's thickness increases. Therefore, carbon core is recommendable to improve the heat transfer characteristics of the PCB because heavy copper core has much disadvantages such as increasing of wear of drill, the weight of PCB, and manufacturing cost by additional insulation materials for electrical insulation.

Several attempts to design the best-available thermosetting road markings by using MMA to improve the durability and retroreflectivity are presented in this paper. In order to improve field applicability, the components of main materials were designed by means of reducing the hardening time lower than eight minutes. The optimum mixing ratio of thermosetting road marking was TSRM-6 composed of 15.6 wt% of MMA monomer ($Tg=105^{\circ}C$), 6.0 wt% of PMMA (MW = 70,000, $Tg=60^{\circ}C$) and 1.2 wt% of TMPTA (MW = 338, $Tg=27^{\circ}C$). Also the homogeneous mixing of all components was necessary. The use of ceramic glass beads with an optimized TSRM-6 exhibited excellent performance by achieving retroreflectivity coefficients of 431, 354 and $172mcd{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}lux^{-1}$ for dry, wet and rainy test condition, respectively at two hundred thousand cycles.

In this study, the elastomer cover, a new contact material, was developed to establish the customized ultrasonic measurement considering surface irregularities of stone cultural heritages. The cover exhibits high elastic force and wear resistance because it has tensile strength of 17MPa and elongation of 625%. In addition, as a result of comparative experiments for the seven types according to transducers and contact materials including the elastomer cover, rock surface irregularities significantly affect attenuation of ultrasonic velocity. The phenomenon was more noticeable in the chiseling finish and indirect transmission measurement rather than the dabbed finish and direct transmission measurement. However, the Type F using the exponential transducer and elastomer cover showed stable P-wave velocity and high amplitude regardless of the surface irregularities. This because the elastomer cover sufficiently sticks to surface irregularities and removes pores between a transducer and a rock specimen. Therefore, the Type F should be used for the ultrasonic measurement of stone cultural heritages with surface irregularities.

Laser beam hardening of 12%-Cr steel has been evaluated by using a continuous wave 3kW co$_{2}$ laser with a hardening mirror set. Experiment was performed on the hardening condition with a laser power of 2.85kW and travel speed of 1.0 and 1.5m/min. Multi passes have been also tried to find the hardening characteristics of partly overlapped zone. The black paint to use at high temperature was adopted to increase the absorptivity of laser beam energy with the wavelength of 10.6.mu.m at the surface of base metal. The microstructure of the hardened layers was observed by using a light microscopy, SEM and TEM. A fine Lamellar martensite formed in the hardened zones exhibits very high Vickers microhardness of 600Hv, whereas the tempered martensite distributes in the base metal with Vickers microhardness of 240Hv.It has been found that laser hardening with multi passes showed no significant drop of the hardness between adjacent passes.

Fretting wear test in room temperature air was performed to evaluate the wear mechanism of fuel rod using a fretting wear tester, which has been developed for experimental study. The main focus was to compare the wear behaviors of fuel rod against support springs at different contact geometries (i.e. concave and convex) and slip directions (axial and transverse). The wear on the tube was examined by the surface roughness tester, which measures the volume. The result indicated that with change of contact geometry from 5N of normal load to 0.1mm gap, wear volume of tube Increased in the condition of concave spring, but slowly decreased in convex spring. From the results of SEM observation, wear mechanism of each test condition was also depend on the above contact parameters. The wear mechanism of each test condition in room temperature air is discussed.
