Natural silica sand was commonly used for sand casting of cast steel products, and chromites sand was used to suppress seizure defects due to the lack of thermal properties of silica sand. However there are disadvantages such as deterioration by repeated use, system sand mixing problem, difficulty separating and removing, increased during mold according to high density and to being waste containing chrome. Recently, industrial waste reduction and atmospheric environment improvement have been highlighted as important tasks in the casting industry. In order to solve the problems that occur when using foundry Sand and to improve the environment of casting factories, various artificial sands that can be applied instead of natural silica sand have been developed and introduced. Artificial sands can be classified into artificial sand manufactured by the electric arc atomization or gas flame atomization, artificial sand manufactured by the spray drying & sintering process, artificial sand manufactured by the sintering & crushing process and exhibit different physical properties depending on the type of raw-minerals and manufacturing method. In this study, comparative evaluation tests were conducted on the physical properties of various foundry sands, mold strength, physical durability, thermal durability, and casting test pieces. When comprehensively considering the actual amount of molding sand used according to density, the mold strength according to the shape of sand, the physical and thermal durability of foundry sand, and the heat resistance characteristics of foundry sand, 'Molten artificial sand A1' or 'Molten artificial sand B' is judged to be the most suitable spherical artificial sand for casting of heavy steel castings.

Selective laser melting (SLM) manufactures an alloy using laser as a heat source, and has recently been introduced in the dental industry. However, there is a lack of analytical research on metal-ceramic restorations achieved by SLM. This study evaluates and compares the metal-ceramic bond strength of Co-Cr alloys produced by selective laser melting and casting methods. Co-Cr samples required for this study were produced through the sintering process of ceramics, by applying the SLM and CAST methods. The metal-ceramic bond strength was measured by applying the shear bond strength test. In order to determine the area fraction of adherent ceramic, Si content of the specimen was measured using scanning electron microscopy SEM/ EDS. Results of the metal-ceramic bond strength and AFAC were analyzed by t-test (α = 0.05). No significant difference was observed comparing the bond strength of SLM and CAST Co-Cr alloys (P> 0.05). However, the SLM group had much better ceramic adherence than the CAST group (P < 0.001). Moreover, oxidation characteristics were similar for both SLM and CAST Co-Cr alloys, but metal structures were different. These results imply that although the bond of ceramic and Co-Cr alloy is not related to the manufacturing method, SLM alloys impart better ceramic adherence. This indicates that alloys made with SLM can be used to fabricate upper implant prostheses in the future. In particular, it is expected to overcome the shortcomings of the CAST method, and save time and cost.

We report on the phase transitions of the perovskite nanostructures made by sol-gel template synthesis. The lead titanate ($PbTiO_{3}$) nanostructures were prepared with a chelate sol-gel of titanium tetrabutoxide ($Ti(O^{i}Pr){4}$) and lead acetate ($Pb(OAc)_{2}-3H_{2}O$). $Whatman^{\circledr}$ anodisc membranes (with about 200 nm pore size) served as the template. The template was dipped into the sol, allowed to air dry, and then calcined at $650^{\circ}C$. We have characterized the temperatures of the phase transitions in the $PbTiO_{3}$ nano-structures using DSC, DTA, and second harmonic generation (SHG).

희토류 이온이 첨가된 형광체는 조명, 정보 디스플레이, 태양 에너지 변환 소자에 응용 가능하기 때문에 상당한 주목을 받고 있다. 특히, 결정 입자의 형상과 크기는 산업체 응용에 있어서 중요한 변수 중의 하나이다. 구형의 형광체 입자는 형광층의 광학 및 기하학적 구조를 최적화 시킬 수 있고, 결정 입자의 크기는 양질의 코팅을 위해 필요한 결정 입자의 양에 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는, $YVO_4$ 모체 결정에 Eu 이온의 농도를 선택적으로 주입하여 발광 효율이 높은 적색 형광체를 합성하고자 한다. 형광체 분말 시료는 활성체인 Eu의 함량을 0.00, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20 mol로 변화시키면서 고상 반응법을 사용하여 합성하였다. 볼밀링 작업을 수행한 후에, 60$^{\circ}C$에서 20시간 건조하였고, 잘게 갈아서 체로 걸러낸 다음에 세라믹 도가니에 넣고 전기로에서 서서히 온도를 승온시켜 500$^{\circ}C$에서 10시간 동안 하소를 실시한 후에 1,100$^{\circ}C$에서 5시간 동안 소결하였다. Eu 이온의 함량비를 변화시켜 합성한 $YVO_4$ : Eu 형광체 분말 시료의 발광 세기의 변화, 결정 구조와 표면 형상을 각각 PL과 PLE, XRD, FE-SEM 장치를 사용하여 측정한 결과들을 종합해 볼 때, Eu 이온의 비가 0.15 mol일때 발광 세기가 최대값을 나타냄을 알 수 있었으며, 더욱 Eu의 함량을 증가시키자 농도 억제 현상에 의하여 발광 세기는 급격히 감소함을 보였다. SEM으로 촬영한 결정 입자의 형상의 경우에, Eu 이온의 함량비가 증가함에 따라 결정 입자들이 더욱 조밀하게 구형에 가까운 형상을 나타냄을 관측할 수 있었다(Fig. 1). 형광체 분말의 형광 스펙트럼의 경우에, 619 nm에 주 피크를 갖는 적색 형광 스펙트럼들이 관측되었으며, Eu 이온의 함량비에 따라 형광 세기는 상당한 의존성을 나타내었다(Fig. 2). Eu 함량에 따른 결정입자의 크기, 형광 세기와 회절 피크의 반치폭 사이의 상관 관계를 제시하고자 한다.

To enhance the performance of anode-supported SOFC, single cell fabrication procedure was changed for better and resulting power generating characteristics of single cell were investigated. Liquid condensation process was employed for the granulation of NiO/YSZ powder mixture and the produced powder granules were compacted into anode green substrate by uni-axial pressing. YSZ electrolyte was printed on green substrate via screen-printing method and co-fired at 1400$^{\circ}C$ for 3 h. LSM/YSZ composite cathode of which the composition and heat treatment condition was adjusted to minimize the polarization#resistance with AC-impedance spectroscopy, was screen printed. The final single cell size from this multi-step procedure was 5${\times}$5 $\textrm{cm}^2$ and 10${\times}$10 $\textrm{cm}^2$. The maximum power densities of 5${\times}$5 and 10${\times}$10 single cells were about 0.45 W/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and 0.22 W/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 800$^{\circ}C$, which are two times superior than those from single cells fabricated by the conventional process in previous our work.

NO oxidation is an important prerequisite step to assist the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) at low temperatures ($<200^{\circ}C$). Therefore, we conducted the lab- and bench-scales experiments appling the sodium chlorite powder ($NaClO_2(s)$) for the oxidation of NO to $NO_2$ and the carbon-based catalyst for the reduction of $NO_x$ and $SO_2$; the lab- and bench-scales experiments were conducted in laboratory and iron-ore sintering plant, respectively. In the lab-scale experiment, known concentrations of $NO_x$ (200 ppm), $SO_2$ (75 ppm), $H_2O$ (10%) and $NH_3$ (400 ppm) in 2.6 L/min were introduced into a packed-bed reactor containing $NaClO_2(s)$, then gases produced by the reaction with $NaClO_2(s)$ were fed into the carbon-based catalyst (space velocity = $2,000hr^{-1}$) at $130^{\circ}C$. In the bench-scale experiment, flue gases of $50Nm^3/hr$ containing 120 ppm NO and 150 ppm $SO_2$ were taken out from the duct of iron-ore sintering plant, then introduced into the flow reactor; $NaClO_2(s)$ were injected into the flow reactor using a screw feeder. Gases produced by the reaction with $NaClO_2(s)$ were introduced into the carbon-based catalyst (space velocity = $1,000hr^{-1}$). Results have shown that, in both lab- and bench-scales experiments, NO was oxidized to $NO_2$ by $NaClO_2(s)$. In addition, above 90% of $NO_x$ and $SO_2$ removal were obtained at the carbon-based catalyst. These results lead us to suggest that the combination of $NaClO_2(s)$ with the carbon-based catalyst has the potential to achieve the simultaneous removal of $NO_x$ and $SO_2$ at low temperature ($<200^{\circ}C$).
