Since Cr-Mo-V steel has excellent fracture and creep properties at elevated temperature, they are extensively used as steam turbine components such as the turbine rotor. However, the turbine rotor steel used to suffer material degradation during long term service. Therefore, the assessment of the safety and residual life of the turbine rotor is periodically required during service. One of the most convenient techniques for that is the hardness method mainly due to its simplicity and nondestructive characteristics. In this research, six specimens with different aging times of turbine rotor steel were artificially prepared by an isothermal heat treatment at $630^{\circ}C$. The micro Vickers hardnesses of specimens were measured at room temperature. The relationships between the fracture properties and the hardness ratio were investigated. And also an indirect method to evaluate the residual life of degraded turbine rotor was proposed based on the micro Vickers hardness measurement.

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.

Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), a self-curing resin mainly used in removable orthodontic appliances, is an acrylic resin mainly used in the field of modern dentistry. As an advantage, it has been used for a long time as a material for orthodontic devices in dentistry due to its color and volume, tissue affinity, and stability. The production of PMMA can be divided into self-polymerization method and thermal polymerization method according to activation method. Self-curing resins have long been used as orthodontic devices. The resin injection method is largely divided into a sprinkle-on method and a mixing method. In this study, we intend to test the mechanical properties according to the resin injection method of the orthodontic device, such as strength, modulus of elasticity, and surface roughness. There was no significant difference in strength as a result of three-point bending strength test on rectangular specimens (1.4 × 3.0 × 19.0 mm) of orthodontic PMMA. There was also no significant difference in hardness. There was no significant difference in surface roughness. It was confirmed that the orthodontic PMMA had no significant difference in mechanical properties according to the resin injection method of the orthodontic device.

It is already known that hardness number of cold-forged product is in close conjunction with its effective strain. This paper presents the method to predict the relation between effective strains and hardness by using FE-simulation of hardness test from the conception that hardness indicates resistance to plastic deformation. The results of FE-simulation for the materials are compared with those of experiments and also compared with those of experiments in reference to show the feasibility of the proposed method. In addition, the present method was applied to the cold-forged product to verify the relation between hardness and effective strain. As a result, the predicted hardness number by the present method is in good agreement with experimental values. Prediction of hardness fur a cold-forged product comes to be possible by estimating the relation between effective strain and hardness using the proposed method in this study.

치과나 기공소로부터 높은 원가로 인한 재료선택에 어려움을 겪고 있어 귀금속 금합금의 물성을 가질 수 있도록 하면서 가격급등으로 인한 문제 해결하기 위한 비귀금속 합금으로 대체가 필요하기에 이에 따른 연구가 이루어져 국산 제품의 상품화를 위해 파라듐을 이용하여 적합한 새로운 합금을 개발하는 것이 필요하다. 치과용 골드합금은 미국치과의사 협회의 구정에 의하면 1형부터 4형까지 분류하고 있으며 3형에 해당하는 강도와 기계적인 특성을 갖도록 파라듐으로 대체하는 연구가 진행중이거나 시판되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 2형, 3형 및 4형을 대체가능하도록 팔라듐을 기반으로 한 새로운 합금을 설계하고 합금의 성분원 소인 Au(1~5), Pd(20~25), Ag(70~75), In(1.5) 및 Zn(2)등으로 조성을 변화시켜 측량 후 합금을 제조하기 위하여 아르곤 분위기하의 진공아크용해로를 이용하여 용해하였다. 정량된 금속을 진공아크 용해로에 장입하고 용해는 균질한 합금이 되도록 최소한 6회 이상 용융을 실시하며 합금성분의 손실이 발행하지 않도록 보정을 하였다. 합금의 미세조직 관찰을 위하여 샘플을 고속 다이아몬드 정밀 절단기(Acculom-5, STRUERS, Denmark)를 이용하여 절단한 후 2000 grit의 Sic 연마지에서 단계적으로 $0.3{\mu}m$ 알루미나 분말까지 연마한 후 초음파 세척을 하였다. 준비한 시편은 KCN과 $(NH_4)_2S_2O_8$을 1:1로 혼합한 부식액으로 에칭한 후 OM과 SEM을 이용하여 조직을 관찰하였으며 각 샘플의 성분변화는 EDS 분석을 통해 확인하고 결정구조는 XRD를 사용하여 분석하였다. 경도시험은 비커스경도시험기를 이용하여 5kg의 하중을 30초간 작동시켜 압흔을 연결된 micron으로 평균값을 측정하였다. 각 시편의 부식거동은 POTENTIOSTAT(Model PARSTAT 2273, EG&G, USA)을 이용하여 구강 내환경화 유사한 $36.5{\pm}1^{\circ}C$의 0.9% NaCl에서 실시하였다. 인가전위는 -1500mV에서 1000mV까지 1.67 mV/min의 주사속도로 인가하여 시험을 수행하였으며 분극곡선으로부터 부식전위와 부식전류밀도 및 부동태영역의 전류밀도로 금속의 용출거동을 조사하였으며 부식이 끝난 시편은 FE-SEM과 EDS를 사용하여 조사하였다. 기계적인 특성은 Pd-Ag에 3wt%의 Au를 첨가한 합금이 Pd-Ag에 1.5wt%합금을 첨가한 경우에 비하여 기계적인 특성이 증가하고 내식성이 크게 증가하였다. 이들 합금에 Cu를 11wt%를 첨가한 경우는 비커스경도가 200이상으로 높게 나타났지만 내식성이 크게 감소하였다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate color change and enamel surface changes using the plasma arc light source during tooth bleaching treatments. Twenty-four extracted bovine incisors were selected and embedded in the resin blocks. All the specimens were highly polished and discolored with commercial $COCK^{(R)}$. High concentration carbamide peroxide with and without plasma arc were used for bleaching. Specimens were bleached for 1 hour per week during 3 weeks. Color and enamel surface changes were determined with colorimeter (TC-8600A), microhardness tester(MXT-a7), scanning electron microscope(S-4200). All the collected data analyzed with paired t-test, t-test and one-way ANOVA. After the bleaching, both groups showed the color changes(${\Delta}E^*$). Microhardness of two group decreased after tooth bleaching. The SEM evaluation of enamel surface of both group showed a similar morphology of decalcification after tooth bleaching. Office bleaching using the plasma arc application with 35% carbamide peroxide can increase the color change. Office bleaching using the high concentration of carbamide peroxide and plasma arc also detract the outer surface of enamel. It is recommended that careful procedures are needed during office bleaching with high concentration of carbamide peroxide and light source.

Hardness characteristics and microstructures of $Nb/MoSi_2$ laminate composites were evaluated from the variation of fabricating conditions such as preparation temperature, applied pressure and pressure holding time. $Nb/MoSi_2$ laminate composites composed of $MoSi_2$ powder and Nb sheets were fabricated by the hot press. From experimental results, it was found that the lamination from Nb sheet and $MoSi_2$ powder was an excellent strategy to improve hardness characteristics of monolithic $MoSi_2$. However, interfacial reaction products like(Nb, Mo)$SiO_2\;and\;Nb2Si_3$ formed at the interface of $Nb/MoSi_2$ and increased with fabricating temperature.
