CrN films were deposited onto STD61 steel substrates using an arc-ion plating apparatus, with and without ion-nitriding pretreatment, and their oxidation was studied between 700 and $900^{\circ}C$ for 40hr in air. The oxidation behavior was examined by thermogravimetric analyses, X-ray diffraction. EDS and SEM. The deposited CrN films consisted of CrN and $Cr_2$N phases. The CrN films increased the oxidation resistance of the substrate by forming a protective $Cr_2$$O_3$ layer. The ion-nitriding pretreatment has not affected the oxidation resistance of the CrN film.

의료용 공구로 사용되는 합금은 마르텐사이트계 스테인리스강의 대표 강종인 420스테인리스강이 사용되며, 이 합금은 고온의 오스테나이트 상태에서 ?칭하면 마르텐사이트 조직으로 변태하여 현저하게 경화하는 특징을 가지고 있으며, 오스테나이트화 후 템퍼링시 우수한 기계적 성질이 얻어진다. 그러나 템퍼링 온도의 영향으로 석출탄화물이 형성되어 기계적 성질이나 내식성이 저하되는 단점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 STS 420스테인리스강의 템퍼링 온도에 의한 내식성 문제점을 개선시키기 위해 STS630 합금을 사용하여 다양한 석출 열처리 조건 및 플라즈마 질화공정을 연구하였다. 구입한 소재의 균일한 성분 조정을 통한 미세 편석 및 물성부여를 위한 균질화 조건 도출 열처리를 실시하였으며, STS630의 고용화열처리는 오스테나이트 균일조직이 되는 온도영역으로 가열하여 급냉하는 것으로 마르텐사이트 변태시키는 열처리를 진행하였으며, 열처리온도는 $1020{\sim}1060^{\circ}C$로 설정하였다. 석출경화 열처리는 $460{\sim}480^{\circ}C$와 $500{\sim}520^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 실시, 제품에 따른 인성을 부여하였으며, 질화공정은 플라즈마 장비를 이용하여 플라즈마 가열 ${\rightarrow}$플라즈마 이온질화를 통하여 가장 최적의 공정을 도출하였다.- 질화가 마무리 된 시료는 내식성 및 물성 평가를 통해 제품으로서의 특성을 평가하였다. 석출경화 열처리에 의해 STS420합금에 버금가는 인장강도 및 경도값이 나타났으며, 플라즈마 질화에 따라 물성 값의 향상이 나타났다. 용출실험결과 STS420합금의 경우 Fe, Cr원소의 용출이 나타나며 변색이 형성되었으나 STS630합금의 경우 그 현상이 미미하였다.

The thin films of TiN have been used extensively as wear-resistant materials, for instance, such as tools of high-speed cutting, metal mold forming etc. In these days, because the thin films capable of being used more severe conditions are needed, the technologies of arc ion plating are tried to improve its characteristics. The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of thin films of (Ti,Cr)N compared with those of TiN. The method of arc ion plating, which is known as showing good tight-adherence and productivity, was used. After manufacturing thin films of ($Ti_{1-x}Cr_{x}$)N (x=0~1) with change of Cr in (Ti,Cr) target, atomic concentration, structure, size of crystallite, residual stress and surface roughness of thin films on substrate were investigated. As the results, it was confirmed that Cr atomic concentrations of thin films were proportionally changed with Cr atomic concentrations of target, and thin films of ($Ti_{1-x}Cr_{x}$)N (x=0~1) showed NaCl type and CrN existed as solid solution to TiN.

Water pollution by ammonium ion and nitrate is a common and growing problem in the ecosystem. Process of biological removal consists of nitrification and denitrification by bacteria. Ammonium is oxidized generally to nitrate by nitrification and nitrate is reduced to dinitrogen gas in the subsequent denitrification process. Although natural zeolite is well known for its ability to preferentially remove ammonium, it is not sufficiently removing ammonium ion and nitrate by adsorption. In order to overcome this problem, a method of biological removal with zeolite is used for simultaneous removal of ammonium and nitrate. As a result, in case of shaking culture with 1% seed and passing through zeolite column, the process revealed that ammonium ion could be removed completely after 14 hours. The removal of nitrate using columns with naturally adsorbed bacteria onto zeolite reached approximately 100% after 4 hours.

In this study, the effects of nitriding methods and times on the fatigue strength of SACM 645 steel were investigated. The rotary bending tests were carried out to obtain and compare the fatigue strengths of plasma ion nitrided specimens and gas nitride specimen. The 70 hr. gas nitrided specimen had the highest fatigue strength of 1.05$\times$$10^3$ MPa over the 40 hr., 70 hr. and 90 hr. plasma ion nitrided specimens, which had the fatigue strength of 3.48$\times$$10^2$, 4.57$\times$$10^2$ and 4.64$\times$$10^2$ respectively. Also, the microhardness tests were conducted to measure the effective case depths. The plasma ion nitrided specimens showed much higher surface hardness values than the gas nitrided specimen overall.

Plasma immersion ion beam (PIIB) nitriding process is an environmentally benign and cost-effective process, and offers the potential of producing high dose of nitrogen ions in a way of simple, fast and economic technique for the high plasma flux treatment of large surface area with nitrogen ion source gas. In this report PIIB nitriding technique was used for nitriding on austenite stainless steel of AISI304 with plasma treatment at $250{\sim}500^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours, and with the working gas pressure of $2.67{\times}10^{-1}$ Pa in vacuum condition. This PIIB process might prove the advantage of the low energy high flux of ion bombardment and enhance the tribological or mechanical properties of austenite stainless steel by nitriding, Furthermore, PIIB showed a useful surface modification technique for the nitriding an irregularly shaped three dimensional workpiece of austenite stainless steel and for the improvement of surface properties of AISI 304, such as hardness and strength

The dynamic fracture toughness, $K_{Id}$,is measured in the heat-treated and ion-nitrided Cr-Mo, Ni-Cr-Mo steel using standard and Precracked Charpy specimens an imstrumented impact machine. The value of $K_{Id}$and both the energy of initiate fracture, and the total energy of fracture. Since the $K_{Id}$values of the precraked impact specimens are in accord with their theoretical ones, this testing method is sufficently practical. The effect of ion-nitriding are found to be larger than the heat-treaded specimen.

This paper deals with the effect of $N_2$ and $H_2$gas mixture ratio and ion-nitriding time in the corrosion fatigue fracture behavior of ion-nitrided SCM4 steel with notch subject to rotary bending stress. The specimens were treated rapid water cooling after ion-nitriding at $500^{\circ}C$ Torr for 1 hour and 3 hours in gas mixtures of 80% $N_2$and 50% $N_2$. The fatigue limit and the fracture strength of corrosion fatigue depended on $N_2$gas quantity and ion-nitriding time. The ion-nitrided specimens showed about 88 .approx. 158% increase in the fracture strength of corrosion fatigue in $10^6$ cycles than non-nitrided specimens. The corrosion failure is due to corrosion pitting of the surface, and the propargation of cracks started at the surface into the core.
