An attempt to recover copper from electroless plating wastewater has been made through evaporation followed by the electrowinning method. From the determination of each element in electroless plating wastewater, the content of Cu was found to be 582 mg/l and small amount of Fe was also contained in it. Moreover, the content of COD and TOC which was resulted from the addition of Rochell salt was found to be 9,560 and 13,100 mg/l, respectively. The content of formic acid generated by the oxidation of formaldehyde was determined to be 7.73 %. As a result, current efficiency was decreased with increase in current density and therefore current density less than $40mA/cm^2$ should be maintained to obtain current efficiency more than 80 %. The content of Fe in Cu obtained by electrowinning was found to be 0.021 and 0.01 % at the concentration of sulfuric acid of 2 and 10 vol%, respectively.

The surface roughness and reflectivity of electroless-plated Sn-3.5 wt%Ag on a LED (light emitting diode) lead frame were investigated. Cu electroplating was carried out prior to electroless plating of Sn-3.5Ag to improve the reflectivity of the Sn-3.5Ag deposit. In order to investigate the effect of stirring speed and temperature of the plating solution, surface roughness and reflectivity was measured. The experimental results revealed that the thickness of the deposit layer increased with stirring speed and temperature of the plating solution. Stirring speed is increased from 100 to 300 rpm, the surface roughness was reduced from 0.513 to 0.266 ${\mu}m$, and the reflectivity increased from 1.67 to 1.84 GAM. As temperature of the plating solution increased from 25 to $45^{\circ}C$, the surface roughness reduced from 0.507 to 0.350 ${\mu}m$, and the reflectivity increased from 1.68 to 1.84 GAM.

In the industry, Zn galvanizing on the steel using the principle of sacrificial anode is used. The steel have some problem, specially corrosion problem. To solve corrosion problem, Zn-Mn alloy plating has been studied as one of the measures to increase the corrosion resistance rather than pure zinc plating. It is possible to be applied to automotive parts requiring high corrosion resistance even though the plating cost is high. In this study, Zn-Mn alloys were electrodeposited from an acidic chloride bath. The influence of the electrolytic conditions on the composition of the alloy plating in the chloride bath was investigated. As the current density of the cathode increases, Zn content of electrodeposit decrease and Mn content of electrodeposit increase. As the temperature of the electrolyte increases, Zn content of electrodeposit decrease and Mn content of electrodeposit increase. The results are explained by the cathode overvoltage curve of Mn and Zn.

Thermal barrier efficiency and endurance of coatings in liquid rocket engine combustor were evaluated for air plasma spray coating and electro/electroless plating. The result of firing tests has revealed occasional occurrence of local delamination of $ZrO_2$, NiCrAlY coating obtained by the method of air plasma spray in the region of supersonic flow and it necessitated a new coating method as a substitution. It was found that Ni-Cr coating by means of electro/electroless plating can substitute $ZrO_2$, NiCrAlY coatings of air plasma spray in terms of thermal barrier efficiency and endurance.

열전모듈이란 온도차를 기전력으로 바꾸거나, 반대로 기전력으로 온도 차이를 만들어내는 모듈이다. 열전발전의 경우, 고열 부분의 열이 빠르게 방출되지 못하면 소자와 기판의 손상을 가져올 수 있기 때문에 열전모듈 기판의 방열성능은 매우 중요하다. 따라서 열전모듈이 실제 발전용으로 사용되기 위해서는 방열성이 높은 기판, 즉 열전도도가 높은 기판이 적용되어야 한다. 그러나 현재 일반적으로 사용되는 알루미나는 그 열전도도가 30 w/mK 정도밖에 되지 않아 그 방열성능이 많이 떨어진다. 이를 해결하기 위해 열전도도가 높은 소재를 베이스 기판으로 한 모듈이 연구되어져야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 열전도도가 237 w/mk 정도로 높은 알루미늄을 기판으로 이용해 열전모듈 기판을 제조하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 알루미늄 베이스 기판 위에 전해에칭, 수화처리, 양극산화 및 전기동도금을 실시하였다. 알루미늄 상에 양극산화처리를 통하여 절연층 역할을 할 산화피막을 형성하고, 백금을 스퍼터링법으로 코팅해 전도성을 부여하였으며 그 이후 바로 전기 동 도금을 실시하였다. 또한 전처리 과정으로 전해에칭을 통해 표면의 조도를 증가시켰고 갈고리 효과를 통해 밀착력을 증가시키고자 하였다. 본 연구의 결과, 기판으로 사용하기 적합한 절연특성과 기판의 열전도도 측정을 통한 우수한 방열성능도 확인할 수 있었다. 뿐만 아니라 Cross Cut Adhesion Test를 통하여 밀착력도 우수하다는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며 표면과 단면관찰을 통해 목적대로 기판의 도금이 잘 이루어 졌다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 공정을 통해 제조된 열전모듈 기판은 우수한 방열성능을 통하여 열전모듈의 성능과 수명을 한층 더 높일 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Nickel-phosphorus alloys are attractive materials for diamond turning applications such as fabrication of large optics and other high precision parts. It is also well-known that the higher phosphorus content of the alloys minimizes the diamond tool wear. Due to the weakness of electoless nickel plating that the phosphorus contents is limited to 13-14% (wgt), increased attention has been paid at electro-nickel plating which enables the alloys with 15-16% phosphorus. In this study, experiments were carried out to observe the wear characteristic of single crystal diamond tools in micro-grooving of electro-nickel plated drums. The experiments shows that long distance (50km) machining of micro-grooving on electro-nickel plated drum is possible with a single crystal diamond tool without any significant tool wear and defective machined surface.

Co-Pt alloy thin films were galvanostatically electrodeposited on Ru (30 nm)/Ta (5 nm)/Si (100) substrates from a amino-citrate based electrolyte. We used Ru(0002)-oriented buffer layers to control the crystallinity and orientation of the Co-Pt alloy thin films. The effect of solution temperature on the microstructure and magnetic properties of the Co-Pt alloy thin film was investigated. The samples were characterized by EDS, FESEM, XRD diffractometer using Cu $K{\alpha}$ radiation. The magnetic properties of these films were analyzed by a VSM and torque magnetometer. The Co-Pt alloy thin films were exhibited very high out-of-plane coercivity and squareness of the multilayer were 6527 Oe and 0.93, respectively, without heat treatment.

In order to find a residual stress in the micro-machined beam, first natural frequency of the beam that has the residual stress inside is analyzed using the Rayleigh's energy method. Micro gold electroplated structure is fabricated by surface micro-machining process. The made structure is clamped-clamped beam and its 1st natural frequency is measured by resonance method. For the better estimation of the residual stress, an equivalent length of micro-machined beam to ideal beam is calculated by FEM. The residual stress is estimated from the equivalent length and the measured natural frequency.

티타늄은 높은 비강도로 알려지고 있어 항공기산업이나 군사산업에 주로 사용된다고 생각하기 쉽다. 그러나 해수와 같은 염화물이온을 함유한 수용액에 대해서는 뛰어난 내식성을 나타내며, 해양토목과 조선관계자는 초 내식성재료로 반영구적인 내구성을 갖는 재료로 보고 있다. 일반적인 페인트 방식법은 일정기간 후에 다시 칠해야 하는데다, 박리된 도료가 환경에 미치는 악영향도 염려되고 있다. 따라서 다시 칠하는 것이 곤란한 초대형 해양 부유구조물에는 티타늄이 매우 효과적인 것으로 기대할 수 있다. 그러나 티타늄은 광석을 제련하여 금속티타늄으로 제조하는 염화 환원공정이 곤란하고 고가여서 선체나 매우 큰 부유식의 해양구조물에는 보급되지 못했다. 따라서 티타늄재료를 선체 등의 구조재로 사용하지 않고 염가의 강판위에 도금하여 내식성을 향상시키는 방법을 생각할 수 있다. 또 해양구조물에 한정하지 않고, 대형 공공시설의 지붕재료나 해수담수화 설비, 화학플랜트 배관에 응용을 기대할 수 있고, 보급이 진전되면 스테인리스제품을 대체할 수도 있다. 티타늄의 평활전해석출 도금기술은 표면처리공학에서 최대의 새로운 개척분야인 것으로 사료된다. 본고에서는 티타늄의 평활피막전해석출 결과와 문제점에 대하여 기술하였다.
