The great variety of commercial brands of orthodontic wires available on the market, stimulated by the so called superior wires (nickel titanium with shape memory effect and superelastic nickel titanium), makes the professional choice for a suitable and less expensive material difficult. The in vitro study of the mechanical properties of the orthodontic wires acts as an auxiliary tool for the professional. In this paper, a comparative study of mechanical properties was made, using stress strain tests for 4 types of orthodontic wires (conventional stainless steel, multistranded steel, superelastic nickel titanium and thermoactivated nickel titanium) separated into 5 groups. A series of 6 tests were tested for each group of wires. Initially, each group was tested 3 times until the wires broke. Furthermore, 3 more tests for each group were performed, stretching the wires under standardized activation loads, for a reliable comparison of their mechanical properties, during loading and unloading. 1 tests were applied to check differences among the groups. In vitro, the results suggest that regarding the mechanical properties supposedly desirable for physiological teeth movement, such as resilience, elasticity modulus, strength liberated during unloading, and the way that strength is liberated, thermoactivated nickel titanium wires, acting under mouth temperature, seems to be a good choice, fellowed by superelastic nickel titanium, multistranded stainless steel, and conventional stainless sleet. Superelasticity was demonstrated for superelastic nickel titanium wires. When at $37^{\circ}C$, thermoactivated nickel titanium wires showed shape memory effect, showing that temperature is important for enhancing the mechanical properties.

During the cold wire-drawing process, the diameter of a wire is reduced and the length of the wire is increased as the wire passes through the die. The pressure and sliding motion at the interface between the wire and die cause elastic recovery of the workpiece and friction and wear on the die. In addition, wire deformation and frictional heating raise the temperature of the wire and die, resulting in difficulty in manufacturing the drawn products according to a designated inner diameter of the die, deviating from the designated dimension or the inner diameter of the die. In this study, considering the die temperature distribution, the effects of dimensional changes of the drawn products were analyzed quantitatively; these changes are caused by the elastic deformation of the die, the elastic recovery of the workpiece, and the thermal deformation of both the die and the workpiece. It was confirmed that the elastic recovery of the workpiece influenced these changes the most. The initial dies considering these factors could avoid deviation from the designated dimension, and the desired drawn products were obtained by using the designed initial drawing dies.

TiN 기판상에 CVD와 무전해 도금을 이용하여 구리막을 성장시킬 때 여러 가지 전처리에 따른 증착 양상의 변화에 관하여 조사하였다. Cu(hfac)2를 선재(precursor)로 사용하여 CVD 증착을 실시할 때 각 전처리에 따른 TiN상의 구리막의 덮힘성(coverage)향상은 Pd-HF 활성화 처리>>HF dip> RF remote plasma의 순이었다. 특히 Pd-HF 활성화 처리를 해줄 경우 거의 완전한 연속막을 얻을수 있었으며 scotch tape peel test 결과 매우 양호한 부착특성을 보였으나, 이에 비해 전처리를 해주지 않은 경우에는 오랜 시간이 경과되어도 연속막으로 성장하지 못하고 섬모양의 큰 결정립을 이룰 뿐이었다. 이러한 차이는 Pd-HF 활성화 처리에 의해 표면에 미세하게 형성된 Pd층이 구리의 핵생성과 부착특성을 크게 향상시켰기 때문인 것으로 사료되며 이러한 효과는 무전해 도금의 경우에도 마찬가지였다. 그리고 기판과 증착온도에 따른 선택성을 보면 35$0^{\circ}C$이하에서는 pd-HF 활성화 처리에 의해서 SiO2에 대하여 TiN으로의 선택성을 가지나 그 이상의 온도에서는 선택성이 상실되었다.

A lot of efforts have been focused on the optimization of PIT parameters for Bi-2223/Ag wire. In this paper, initial annealing of Bi-2223/Ag wire to transform Bi-2212 orthorhombic from Bi-2212 tetragonal Precursor was investigated. This initial annealing step at low oxygen partial pressure were to transform Bi-2212 orthorhombic structure and to reduce the formation of second phases at superconducting wire. However Bi-2223 Phases were appeared at higher annealing temperature. Critical currents(Je) of Bi-2223/Ag tapes were sintered at low oxygen Partial pressure were higher than that of the wires sintered at atmosphere condition. In order to investigate the effect of rolling reduction ratio, Bi-2223/Ag HTS tapes were rolled with different reduction ratio. There were no clear difference of Je and filaments shape with various rolling reduction ratio.

Distribution of local critical temperature and current density in $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$ (YBCO) coated conductors was analyzed using a Low-temperature Scanning Laser Microscopy (LTSLM). We prepared YBCO coated conductors of various bridge types to study the spatial distribution of critical temperature and current density in single and multi bridges. An LTSLM system was modified for a detailed two-dimensional scan without shifting of the sample. We observed a spatial distribution of the critical temperature from the bolometric response, which arises from a focused laser beam at the sample near the superconducting transition. Also we studied the relation between the critical temperature and the current density.

$YBa_2Cu_3O_{6+x}(Y123)-Ag$ high-Tc superconducting wires were fabricated by plastic extrusion technique using pyrophoric synthetic and mechanical mixing powder with and without Ag addition(20 wt.%). This method involves powder preparation, plastic paste making, die extrusion, binder burn-out and the sintering process. In order to fabricate a good-quality superconducting body, it is required to use homogeneous and fine-size power as a starting materials. $Y_2O_3-BaCO_3-CuO$ precursor powders with/without Ag addition were prepared both by pyrophoric synthetic(PS) and mechanical mixing(MM) method of raw powders. The formation kinetics of the powder mixtures into Y123 phase was investigated at various temperatures and times in air atmosphere. The powder prepared by PS method was more easily converted into a Y123 phase than the MM powder. The fine size and good chemical homogeneity of the powder prepared by PS method is attributable to the fast formation into a Y123 phase. The critical current density($J_c$) of the Y123-Ag superconducting wires made by plastic extrusion method were in the range of $150A/cm^2{\sim}230A/cm^2$. depending on the charateristics of starting material powders. $J_c$ of the wire prepared by pyrophoric synthetic powder with 20 wt.% Ag addition was $230A/cm^2$.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the possibile clinical application of electroplating to increase diameter of an orthodontic wire, through examining the change of physical properties. The diameter of stainless steel orthodontic wire was increased from 0.016 inch to 0.018 inch by electroplating in a bath of nickel sulfate 100g/L, nickel chloride 60g/L, boric acid 30g/L, and sodium chloride 50g/L, under the conditions of 1.7V, $25\~29^{\circ}C\;and\;3.1\~3.3pH$. During the electroplating, the rate of diameter increase was measured every minute. To investigate uniformity, the diameter was measured at three different locations of each wire specimen aster electroplating. An X-ray diffraction test was performed to analyze the nature of the electroplated metal. Following heat treatment to improve adhesion between the wire and electroplated metal, a three-point bending test was conducted to compare stiffness, field strength, and ultimate strength among four wire groups; 0.016 inch, electroplated 016, electroplated and heat-treated 016, and 0.018 inch wires. Through the comparison of each wire group, following results were obtained. 1. In the load-deflection graph, the curve of the electroplated group was Placed between that of the 0.016 inch group and the 0.018 inch group, and the owe was closer to the 0.018 inch group by heat treatment. 2. In the electroplated and heat-treated 016 wire group, the values of stiffness, yield strength and ultimate strength showed higher tendency than in the original 0.016 Inch group. Stiffness and ultimate strength showed statistically significant differences between two groups. 3. Stiffness, yield strength, and ultimate strength of electroplated wire presented lower values than those of 0.018 inch wire group. 4. Stiffness, yield strength, and ultimate strength of electroplated and heat-treated wire showed higher tendency than those of electroplated wire group, and ultimate strength showed statistically significant difference between two groups. 5. After electroplating, the difference in diameter between the three locations was within $0.1\~0.3\%$ variation, and showed no statistical significance.
