We study the effect of mechanical machining and heat treatment on the surface residual stress of TP 316L stainless steel. Electrical discharge machining (EDM), milling and grinding were applied to TP 316L plate specimens. The residual stress and hardness were measured and the effect of heat treatment on the surface residual stress was examined. The residual stress was measured by the X-ray diffraction method, which showed that the surface residual stress was related only to the stress magnitude and was independent of the compressive or tensile component. The surface residual stress was greatly decreased by the heat treatment, but it was not removed completely.

Soft-solution route employing PVA(Polyvinyl Alcohol) as a polymeric carrier in a mixed metal cation solution was used for synthesis of single-phase nickel aluminate (NiA1$_2$O$_4$) powders. The PVA ensured the homogeneous distribution of metal ions in the solution and it resulted in the decrease of crystallization temperature. The synthesized powders prepared by PVA addition were soft and ball-milled easily. The ball-milled powders of about 300 nm in size were fully densified to density of 4.35 g/㎤ at 1600$^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. The Vickers hardness, flexural strength, fracture toughness and thermal expansion coefficient of the sintered nickel aluminate were 14.2 ㎬, 304 ㎫, 4.8 ㎫$.$m$\^$1/2/ and 9.8${\times}$10$\^$-6//$^{\circ}C$, respectively.

The carbon-coated Si/Cu powders were synthesized by mechanical ball-milling and hydrocarbon gas decomposition methods at high temperature. The carbon-coated Si/Cu powder was used as anode for lithium secondary battery and its electrochemical behavior was investigated. In addition, the carbon-coated Si/Cu/graphite composite anode material was prepared using natural graphite powder and their electrochemical characteristics were compared with natural graphite anode. The specific capacity of carbon-coated Si/Cu anode increased to the initial 10 cycles. The carbon-coated Si/Cu/graphite composite anode exhibited the reversible specific capacity of 450mAh/g and the first cycle efficiency of 81.3% at $0.25mA/cm^2$. The cycling performance of the composite anode was similar to that of pure graphite anode except the reversible specific capacity value.

Mo-Cu 합금은 고강도이고 우수한 열전도성 및 전기전도성를 가지는 특성이 있어 현재 방열소재, 반도체 부품, 자동차 부품 등 여러 응용분야에서 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 서로 고용성이 없는 Mo-Cu 합금을 제조하기 위해서 Mo, Cu 분말을 PBM (Planetary Ball Milling) 방법을 이용하여 제조 하였으며, 제조된 분말은 SPS (Spark Plasma Sintering) 공정을 이용하여 소결체를 제조하였다. Mo-Cu의 조성 변화는 Cu의 함유량을 각각 5at%Cu, 10at%Cu, 20at%Cu로 조절하여 수행하였으며, PBM 의 공정 변수로 회전수(RPM), 볼과 분말의 비율, 분산제의 양, 볼밀 시간, 분위기 변화를 주어 최적조건을 얻기 위한 실험을 진행하였다. PBM 방법을 이용하여 제조한 분말은 PSA (Particle Size Analysis)에 의해 분말의 크기를 측정하고 EDS(Energy Disperse X-ray Spectrometer) 분석에 의해 조성을 확인하였으며, XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) 분석에 의해 Cu peak이 사라지는 조건을 PBM의 최적조건으로 잡고 실험을 진행하였다. 소결체를 고밀도화하기 위해 소결공정을 SPS 방식으로 하였으며 소결체의 경도, 내마모성, 마찰계수 일함수 등을 분석하기 위해 소결체의 크기를 직경 30 mm 및 두께 5 mm로 설계하였고, 소결 공정 변수로 소결온도를 각각 $900^{\circ}C$, $1000^{\circ}C$, $1100^{\circ}C$, 소결압력을 50MPa, 60MPa, 70MPa, 유지시간을 0분, 10분, 20분으로 차이를 주어, 소결체의 밀도차이와 물성차이를 분석하였다. 그 결과 PBM의 최적조건으로는 5at%Cu 에서는 10h, 10at%Cu, 20at%Cu 에서는 20h의 최적의 밀링 시간을 확인하였고, 다른 공정 변수의 최적조건으로는 회전수 300RPM, 10:1의 볼과 분말 비, 분산제 4wt%, Ar 분위기라는 조건을 얻을 수 있었다. 각각의 공정변수 변화에 따른 소결체 최적밀도 달성조건, 소결체 물성 및 전기적 특성 등의 상관관계에 관하여 보고한다.

The tool path needs to be determined in an efficient manner to generate the final NC (numerical control) code for efficient machining. This is particularly important in machining free form pockets with an arbitrary wall geometry on a three-axis CNC machine. Many CAD/CAM systems use linear interpolation to generate NC tool paths for curved surfaces. However, this needs to be modified to improve the smoothness of the machined bottom surface, reduce machining time and CL (cutter location) file size. Curved machining can be a solution to reduce these problems. The unified rough and finish cut algerian and the tool motion is graphically simulated. In this paper, a grid based 3D navigation algorithm for generating NC tool path data for both linear interpolation and a combination of linear and circular interpolation for three-axis CNC milling of general pockets with sculptured bottom surfaces is developed.

Purpose: Unpredictable shrinkage of zirconia during sintering process causes discrepancy. Therefore, there have been attempts to reduce discrepancy by milling zirconia after sintering. However, due to the hardness of sintered zirconia, milling takes longer time, causes damage to the machine and causes chip formation. With customized zirconia block using the mean dimension of prepared natural dentition, it is expected to overcome these shortcomings. Materials and methods: The mean dimension of prepared natural dentition was analyzed as STL file after scanning of prepared teeth treated at SNUDH. The transverse, frontal and sagittal planes were set using Mimics and Photoshop. 3D volume was projected on each plane, and the outer line was measured through external tangent line, and the inner line was measured through inflection point of tangent line. Results: The mean height of prepared incisal (N = 57) is $6.60{\pm}1.05mm$, mesiodistal length is $2.98{\pm}0.73mm$, buccolingual length is $2.04{\pm}0.73mm$. The mean height of prepared premolar (N = 15) is $5.37{\pm}1.49mm$, mesiodistal length is $4.10{\pm}1.78mm$, buccolingual length is $5.86{\pm}1.55mm$. And the mean height of prepared molar (N = 13) is $5.11{\pm}1.29mm$, mesiodistal length is $6.80{\pm}1.18mm$, buccolingual length is $7.34{\pm}1.40mm$. Conclusion: Using the mean dimension of prepared natural dentition, it is expected to be able to fabricate customized zirconia block.

The main benefit of proton therapy over photon beam radiotherapy is the absence of exit dose, which offers the opportunity for highly conformal dose distributions to target volume while simultaneously irradiating less normal tissue. For proton beam therapy two patient specific beam modifying devices are used. The aperture is used to shape the transverse extension of the proton beam to the shape of the tumor target and a patient-specific compensator attached to the block aperture when required and used to modify the beam range as required by the treatment plan for the patient. A block of range shifting material, shaped on one face in such a way that the distal end of the proton field in the patient takes the shape of the distal end of the target volume. The mechanical quality assurance of range compensator is an essential procedure to confirm the 3 dimensional patient-specific dose distributions. We proposed a new quality assurance method for range compensator based on image processing using X-ray tube of proton therapy treatment room. The depth information, boundaries of each depth of plan compensatorfile and x-ray image of compensator were analyzed and presented over 80% matching results with proposed QA program.

3D printing is a process of producing 3d object from a digital file in STL format by joining, bonding, sintering or polymerizing small volume elements by layer. The various type of 3d printing is classified according to the additive manufacturing strategies. Among the types of 3D printer, SLA(StereoLithography Apparatus) and DLP(Digital Light Processing) 3D printer which use polymerization by light source are widely used in dental office. In the previous study, a full-arch scale 3d printed model is less precise than a conventional stone model. However, in scale of quadrant arch, a 3d printed model is significantly precise than a five-axis milled model. Using $3^{rd}$ Party dental CAD program, full denture, provisional crowns and diagnostic wax-up model are fabricated by 3d printer in dental office. In Orthodontics, based on virtual setup model, indirect bracket bonding tray can be generated by 3d printer. And thermoforming clear aligner can be fabricated on the 3d printed model. 3D printed individual drilling guide enable the clinician to place the dental implant on the proper position. The development of layer additive technology enhance the quality of 3d printing object and shorten the operating time of 3D printing. In the near future, traditional dental laboratory process such as casting, denture curing will be replaced by digital 3D printing.

In the past, computer-aided design / computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology was the closed system that users had to use the components of only one manufacturer. At present, it has changed to the open system with the flexibility to select and use the components of various manufacturers' components according to their needs. Despite the development of dental materials and prostheses manufacturing methods, denture manufacturing has followed conventional manufacturing methods for nearly 100 years. However, studies on CAD/CAM fabricated denture have been recently carried out to overcome the disadvantages of conventional denture manufacturing. Some commercialized products using milling or 3D printing have already been applied clinically. This case report confirms the possibility of CAD/CAM dentures using 3D face scan and compared them to conventionally fabricated dentures.

In this study, high speed machining is evaluated with regard to economical and environmental effects. Considering environmental loads, machining costs are analyzed with the mathematical models of machining economics and cutting fluid loss. Data from the tool life experiments of high speed milling and turning are used for the analysis. The analysis of high speed milling shows that the machining cost decreases as increasing the cutting speed. In turning process, the cooling method using cutting fluid shows the minimum machining cost. Considering both machining and environmental costs, cooling method using cold air is superior to other methods.
