This paper has comparatively analyzed the characteristics of the machined surface of a specimen made by machining Die Steel STD11 and a specimen obtained by W-EDM steel. If a press die is manufactured through W-EDM, products of shapes that cannot easily be made through machining can be manufactured easily. However, the life of the press die is significantly reduced compared with the press die made through machining. This is believed to be caused by the deformed layer that has occurred on the surface of the press die that was made through W-EDM. The roughness of the 2 specimens was measured, and it was learned that the distribution of the roughness of the specimen made through the 1st W-EDM was rough. When the specimens were observed using a scanning-electron microscope, there was significant difference between the surface and the cross-section of the 2 specimens, while the cross section of the specimen obtained through W-EDM had the tempered and quenched surface structure which exists in the form of a deformed layer.

Optimum conditions for making the Au and Al internal standards for TEM have been determined experimentally. The Au internal standard was produced by sputter coating at 9mA for 100 seconds in low vacuum $(\leq1\times10^{-3})$. The Al internal standard was produced by evaporation coating at 7kV for 10 minutes in high vacuum $(\leq1\times10^{-5})$. Measurements of the lattice parameters of andalusite and albite feldspars with this Au internal standard resulted in errors of (a) $ \leq1.2%$ in precion and $\leq0.3%$ in accuracy for andalusite: (b) $\leq0.5%$ in precision and $\leq1.1%$ in accuracy for albite feldspars. The most significant error occurred from the measuring processes of distances and angles of electron diffraction patterns. By employing systematic procedures of measurement with high precision devices, this lattice parameter determination method utilizing the internal standard should be a good alternative to the conventional powder XRD method or the sophisticated CBED method for special samples.

Failure strengths of composite single-lap adhesive joints were investigated with various parameters such as manufacturing method, overlap length and adherend thickness. A total of 335 single-lap joint specimens were tested under tension. Specimens were fabricated with 4 different manufacturing processes; cocuring without and with adhesive, secondary bonding and co-bonding. Each manufacturing process has 5 different overlap lengths and 4 different thicknesses, respectively. As expected, failure strength is higher in thicker adherend joints and lower in larger overlap length specimens. Interesting result is that the secondary bonded joints show the higher strength than the cobonded and cocured joints with adhesive, and give close or even higher strength compared with non-adhesive cocured case.

It is the primary aim of this paper to propose the empirical fatigue crack propagation model fit to describe a crack growth behavior of AZ31 magnesium alloys under the different specimen thickness conditions. The empirical models estimated are Paris-Erdogan model, Walker model, Forman model, and modified-Forman model. The parameters of each model are estimated by maximum likelihood method. The statistical crack growth data needed for an estimation of empirical models are obtained by fatigue crack propagation tests under the three cases of specimen thickness. It is found that the good empirical models fit to describe a crack growth behavior of AZ31 magnesium alloys under the different specimen thickness conditions are Paris-Erdogan model and Walker model. It is also verified that a fatigue crack growth rate exponent of a empirical model may be a material constant at the specimen thickness conditions of 4.75mm and 6.60mm.

마그네트론 스퍼터링을 이용하여 질소와 탄소를 함유한 티타늄 화합물을 합성하고, 조성 변화에 따른 색상 변화를 통해 티타늄 화합물로 구현할 수 있는 색상에 대해서 알아보았다. 스퍼터 타겟은 4"X1/4" 크기의 고순도(99.99%) 티타늄을 사용하였다. 시편은 알코올과 아세톤에서 각각 5분간 초음파 세척된 SUS304를 사용하여, 진공용기에 시편을 장착하고 압력을 $3{\times}10^{-6}\;Torr$까지 배기한 후, Ar 가스를 주입하여 진공도가 $2{\times}10^{-2}\;Torr$에 이르면 펄스 전원 공급 장치를 이용하여 800 V의 전압으로 1시간 동안 글로우 방전을 시켜 시편 청정을 실시하였다. 시편 청정이 끝나면 다시 $3{\times}10^{-6}\;Torr$까지 진공배기를 실시하고, Ar 가스를 진공용기 내로 공급하여 $1{\sim}3{\times}10^{-3}\;Torr$에서 스퍼터링을 실시하여 완충층으로 티타늄 박막을 코팅하였다. 티타늄 화합물은 티타늄을 스퍼터링 하면서 진공용기 내에 질소와 메탄가스를 적절한 비율로 공급함으로써 코팅하였다. 박막 증착 시 시편 온도는 $200^{\circ}C$, 타겟과의 거리는 12 cm를 유지하였으며, 시편을 회전시켜 코팅하였다. 티타늄 화합물의 두께와 미세구조, 조성 그리고 색상은 투과전자현미경(transmission electron microscope, TEM), 글로우 방전 분광기(glow discharge light spectroscope, GDLS), 및 색차계(spectrophotometer)를 사용하여 각각 분석하였다. TEM 분석결과 TiN의 박막 두께는 약 300 nm로 공극이 존재하지 않는 치밀한 다결정 구조를 나타내었고, TiCN은 약 600 nm로 TiN과 두 배의 두께 차이를 보였다. 이는 탄소의 공급원인 메탄가스의 주입으로 증착률이 증가한 것으로 판단된다. 또한 소량의 질소와 메탄가스의 유량 조절로 화합물의 조성을 변화시킬 수 있었으며, 이러한 조성 변화는 화합물의 색상변화로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과를 외관 코팅 분야에 응용한다면 다양한 색상 구현과 외관의 경도, 내마모성, 내식성의 향상 등 많은 장점을 가질 것으로 판단된다.

최근 자연모사를 통한 초저마찰 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으며 리소그라피, 레이져 가공법 등의 다양한 방법을 통해 표면구조 제어가 시도되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 자장여과 아크 플라즈마 이온 소스를 이용한 WC-Co 및 SCM 415 금속소재의 표면구조 형상제어를 통해 저마찰 특성을 시도하였다. 자장여과 아크 소스는 90도 꺽힘형이며 5개의 자장 코일을 통해 아크 음극에서 발생된 고밀도($10^{13}\;cm^{-3}$ 이상) 플라즈마를 표면처리 대상 기판까지 확산시켰다. 공정 압력은 알곤가스 1 mTorr, 아크 방전 전류는 25 A, 플라즈마 수송 덕트 전압은 10 V이다. 기판 전압은 비대칭 펄스 (-80 %/+5 %)로 -600 V에서 -800 V까지 인가되었으며 -600 V 비대칭 펄스 인가시기판으로 입사하는 알곤 이온 전류 밀도는 약 $4.5\;mA/cm^2$ 이다. WC-Co 시편의 경우 -600 V 전압 인가시, 이온빔 처리 전 46.4 nm(${\pm}12.7\;nm$)의 조도를 갖는 시편이 5분, 10분, 20분동안 이온빔 처리함에 따라 72.8 nm(${\pm}3\;nm$), 108.2 nm(${\pm}5.9\;nm$), 257.8 nm(${\pm}24.4\;nm$)의 조도를 나타내었다. SCM415 시편의 경우 -800 V 인가시, 이온빔 처리 전 20.4 nm(${\pm}2.9\;nm$)의 조도를 갖는 시편이 20분동안 이온빔 처리함에 따라 275.1 nm(${\pm}43\;nm$)의 조도를 나타내었다. 또한 주사전자현미경을 통한 표면 형상 관찰 결과, 이온빔 식각을 통해 생성된 거친 표면에 $3-5\;{\mu}m$ 직경의 돌기들이 산발적으로 생성됨을 확인했다. 마찰계수 측정 결과 SCM415 시편의 경우, 이온빔 처리전 마찰계수 0.65에서 조도 275.1 nm 시편의 경우 0.48로 감소하였다. 본 연구를 통해 이온빔 식각을 이용한 금속표면 제어 및 저마찰 특성 향상의 가능성을 확인하였다.

In order to reduce to the defect density in poly-Si/SiO$_2$ thin films, where poly-Si is either undoped or doped by BF$_2$ implantation, the poly-Si/SiO$_2$ samples have been hydrogenated by rf plasmas of low temperature. Before hydrogenation, both $P_b$ centers and E centers were observed in the poly-Si(undoped)/SiO$_2$ and in the poly-Si(doped)/SiO$_2$. After 30 min hydrogenation, the $P_b$ center was reduced by 80 % doped sample and by 76 % in the undoped sample and the E center was not observed. After 90min hydrogenation, however, increases of the $P_b$ centers and regenerations of the E center were observed in the undoped sample as well as in the doped one. Compared with the undoped sample, the increase of $P_b$ center in the doped one was more dominant.

Dental prosthesis translucency importantly contributes to aesthetic outcomes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of drying time and zirconia coloring agent type on translucency. For the experiment, 90 circular specimens were fabricated for each zirconia block. Then, zirconia specimens were treated with a coloring agent for 180 seconds and dried for 0 seconds (undried), 30 seconds (intermediate dry), or 30 minutes (complete dry). Then, a specimen was placed on a black standard tile or a white standard tile, and using a standard D65 light source reflected was measured using the light removal method. A total of three repeated measurements were obtained per specimen. One-way ANOVA was used to compare and analyze the relationship between zirconia translucency and drying time. Zirconia and coloring liquid types were significantly associated with translucency (P < 0.001). Although no significant difference was observed with respect to drying time (P > 0.922), zirconia in the completely dried (30 minutes) state was more translucent.

Autoclave process has been remaining as one of the most robust and stable process in fabricating structural composite part of aerospace industry. It has lots of advantages, however exhibits some disadvantages or limitations in capital investment and operation. Recently, there have been various Out-of-Autoclave process being researched and developed to overcome those limitations. In this study, laminate specimens were fabricated using LCM (Liquid Composite Molding) process, regarded as one of potential OoA process. DB (Double bagging), CAPRI (Controlled Atmospheric Pressure Resin Infusion), VAP (Vacuum Assisted Process) and Autoclave process were used for laminate specimens. Void content, Thickness, Tg (Glass Transition Temperature), ILSS (Interlaminar Shear Strength) and Flexural strength properties were evaluated for comparison. It is verified that Autoclave based specimen has uniform thickness distribution, the lowest void content and outstanding mechanical properties. And, CAPRI based specimen exhibits relatively good physical and mechanical properties over DB and VAP based specimen and comparable mechanical properties with autoclave based specimen.

The high porosity of the infill pattern of carbon chopped fiber-reinforced Nylon composite structures fabricated by the fused filament fabrication (FFF) type 3D printers determines the mechanical performance of the printed structures. This study experimentally evaluated the mechanical performance of Onyx composite specimens fabricated with a rectangular infill structure under the hot-pressing condition to improve the mechanical properties by reducing the porosity of the infill pattern of the printed structure, and evaluated the best mechanical performance. The hot-pressing conditions (145℃, 4 MPa, 12 min) that induce the most appropriate mechanical properties were found. As a result of microscopic observation, it was confirmed that the infill porosity of the composite specimens subjected to post hot-pressing treatment was effectively reduced. In order to confirm the mechanical performance of the post-treated specimen, a tensile test and a three-point bending test were performed with a control specimen without post-treatment and a specimen printed with the same density and dimensions after post-treatment to evaluate the mechanical properties. As a result of comparison, it was confirmed that the mechanical properties were effectively improved when the post-treatment of hot-pressing was performed.
