The effect of post-weld heat treatment(PWHT) of SCM440 steel was investigated with parameters such as micro-Vickers hardness, corrosion potential, polarization behaviors, galvanic current, Al anode generating current and Al anode weight loss, etc. Each hardness of three parts(HAZ, BM, WM) by PWHT is lower than each of as-welded parts. However, hardness of WM area was the highest among those three parts in case of both PWHT and as-welded. Corrosion potential of WM part was the highest among those three parts and WM area was also acted as cathode without regard to PWHT. The magnitude of corrosion potential difference among three parts by PWHT was larger than that of three parts of as-welded, and corrosion current by galvanic cell of these three parts by PWHT was also larger compared to as-welded. Therefore, it is suggested that corrosion resistance property of SCM440 steel is decreased by PWHT than as-welded. However, both Al anode generating current and anode weight loss were also increased by PWHT compared to as-welded when SCM400 steel is cathodically protected by Al anode.

This study was investigated to develop process technology of laser cladding with austenite stainless steel for Weld Inlay repair of dissimilar metal weld in reactor vessel in/outlet nozzles. Weld Inlay experiments were performed by laser cladding repair system consisting of common manipulator, laser apparatus and welding process scheduler, etc. Single pass welding experiments were conducted in order to obtain the optimum welding process parameters for filler wires of ER309L and Alloy 52M before multi-layer laser cladding. Based on the above obtained results, multi-layer laser cladding experiments were carried out, and welding qualities for weld specimens were estimated by PT, OM, SEM and EDS analysis. Consequently, it was revealed that multi-layer laser cladding on austenite stainless steel using filler wires of ER309L and Alloy 52M could be possible to meet ASME Code standard without any weld defect.

This paper presents the interface bonding characteristics between a phosphor bronze and a steel plate for pin-bush bearings. The pin-bush bearing is an important component in which is used to reduce a friction loss and a wear against the piston pin. The pin-bush bearing is manufactured by hot-pressing a phosphor bronze and a back metal of a steel plate. This paper investigated the bonding interface characteristics in which is manufactured by melting a copper based bronze and a steel plate. The hardness from the inner surface of a bronze to the outer one of steel has been measured using a Vickers hardness tester. The experimental results show that the hardness of a bronze is superior to that of the conventional bronze and the transient hardness of pin-bush bearings is gradually increasing to the hardness of the steel back metal. This means that the bonding interface zone of pin-bush bearings may be fabricated by defusing a bronze to the steel plate due to a density difference between two materials.

Diamond-like carbon (DLC)은 낮은 마찰력과 높은 내마모성 및 내식성등과 같은 우수한 물성을 가지고 있다. 따라서, DLC 박막은 다양한 응용분야에 적용이 가능한 코팅이다. 특히, DLC 박막의 낮은 마찰력과 고경도 특성은 자동차 산업 및 금형과 같은 저마찰 및 내마모성 향상에 기여할 수 있는 매력적인 박막 코팅으로 각광받고 있다. 그러나 DLC 박막의 높은 잔류응력과 다른 기판의 화학적 친화력을 감소시키는 탄소-탄소 결합의 불안정성 때문에 금속소재와의 낮은 접합력으로 인하여 그 응용에 어려움을 격고 있다. DLC 박막의 접합력 향상을 위하여 모재에 활성 스크린 플라즈마 질화 장비를 사용하여 금속 시편에 질화처리를 하였다. 질화처리후 CVD법으로 DLC 박막을 증착하였으며, 박막의 특성은 나노 인덴테이션, 마이크로 라만 스펙트로스코피 그리고 주사전자현미경에 의해 측정되었다. 활성 스크린 질화 장비에 의해 처리된 시편의 특성변화는 GDS, XRD 및 마이크로 비커스 경도계를 이용하여 관찰하였다. 박막과 모재와의 밀착력은 스크래치 테스트에 의해 측정 하였으며, 질화층이 형성됨으로 인해 모재의 상구조와 경도의 변화가 생겼고, 이로 인해 DLC박막과 모재의 밀착력이 상승하였음을 알 수 있었다.

In recent years, Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys have become a center of special interest in the automotive industry. Due to their high specific mechanical properties, they offer a significant weight saving potential in modem vehicle constructions. Most Mg alloys show very good machinability and processability, and even the most complicated die casting parts can be easily produced. The die casting process is a fast production method capable of a high degree of automation for which certain Mg alloys are ideally suited. Although Mg alloys are fulfilling the demands for low specific weight materials with excellent machining and casting abilities, they are still not used in die casting process to the same extent as the competing material aluminium. One of the reasons is that effects of various forming variables for die casting process is not closely examined from the viewpoint of die design. In this study, step die and flowability tests for AM60 were performed by die casting process according to various combination of casting pressure and plunger velocity. Microstructure and Victors hardness tests were examined and performed for each specimen to verify effects of forming conditions.

Purpose: This study was conducted to compare the Vickers hardness on the denture acrylic resins using the glaze color system. Methods: The specimens (20×2 mm) were prepared by mixing according to the manufacturer's protocols through thermal polymerization and self-polymerization. The surface roughness was measured using a testing machine after water-soaking for 48 hours. For the Vickers hardness measurement, the completed specimen was soaked in water for 48 hours and then applied at 200 gf for 30 seconds. Was the specimen immersed after being soaked in water for 48 hours at temperatures of 5℃ and 55℃, respectively, for 30 seconds for the thermos-cycling treatment, and it was carried out 5,000 times. Results: Surface roughness was higher in the more glazing group than in the control group. A significant difference was observed in all groups, except for the Retec Don 2000 and Luciton 199 groups (p<0.05). As a result of measuring the Vickers hardness, the treatment by glaze color showed slightly lower but the thermo-cycling treatment group appeared higher than control group in all. Conclusion: Therefore, the glaze color was found to affect the surface roughness and showed a significant difference. The surface glaze color showed a very high Vickers hardness after the thermo-cycling treatment, indicating that the surface-strengthening effect is greater in the oral environment.

Engineering ceramics have superior heat resistance, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. Consequently, these art significant candidates for hot-section structural components of heat engine and the inner containment of nuclear fusion reactor. Besides, some of them have the ability to heal cracks and great benefit can be anticipated with great benefit the structural engineering field. Especially, law fracture toughness of ceramics supplement with self-healing ability. In the present study, we have been noticed some practically important points for the healing behavior of silicon nitride, alumina, mullite with SiC particle and whisker. The presence of silicon carbide (SiC) in ceramic compound is very important for crack-healing behavior. However, self-healing of SiC has not been investigated well in detail yet. In this study, commercial SiC was selected as sample, which can be anticipated in the excellent crack healing ability. The specimens were produced three-point bending specimen with a critical semi-circular crack of which size that is about $50-700{\mu}m$. Three-point bending test and static fatigue test were performed cracked and healed SiC specimens. A monotonic bending load was applied to cracked specimens by three-point loading at different temperature. The purpose of this paper is to report Strength Properties and Elastic Waves Characteristics of Silicon Carbide with Crack Healing Ability.

The glass and glass-ceramics containing EAF dust $30{\sim}70\;wt%$ were fabricated and the dependance of physical properties upon crystal phases and microstructure formed was studied. The crystallization behavior of glass and glass-ceramics containing various contents of EAF dust composing of mainly $Fe_2O_3$ and ZnO was analyzed by crystal identification and microstructure observation. The glass specimen with EAF dust 30 wt% showed a typical amorphous pattern in XRD results and the specimen with above 30 wt% EAF dust had some un-dissolved crystals which was originated from EAF dust. The all glass-ceramics had franklinite, willemite and augite crystal phases. The density of glass-ceramics was higher than that of same composition glass, and it increased with EAF dust contents. In addition, the thermal and mechanical properties of glass-ceramics were always higher than those of glasses. In other words, the thermal expansion coefficient of glass increased with EAF dust contents while it decreased for the glass-ceramics. The vickers hardness for the glass and glass-ceramics increased with EAF dust content, the glass-ceramics always being higher those of glass of same composition.
