This study analyzes the transplanting parts used as the graft of artificial knee joint. The low elastic titanium alloy is applied to clear up the stress shield effect. The simulation analysis is carried about the stress distribution of the transplanting parts. The correlation with frame is inferred and investigated through the equivalent stress distribution of titanium alloy due to elastic modulus. The stress of the transplanting parts decreases as the elastic modulus decreases at the first time. It decreases greatly near the stress of 46 GPa and increases again. Because the stress happened at the transplanting parts decreases, more stress is applied on the frame. This phenomenon is the stress shield effect. The result of this study can be thought to be necessary to develop the safe design of composite material.

Corrosion characteristics of 4 kinds of the Fe-Al damping alloys has been studied in the 3.5% NaCl solution and compared with a cold rolled mild steel and pure Ti, No passivation, besides Ti, was observed in the Fe-Al damping alloys and a cold rolled mild steel. Corrosion rate was decreased with lower carbon concentration. In the case of Mn addition for improving damping capacity, corrosion rate was decreased in scrap iron but was not decreased in electrolytic iron. It has been shown that corrosion rate of Fe-Al damping alloys lays between that of the pure Ti and that of a cold rolled mild steel.

After the design and production of cold rolling to make titanium-alloyed(Gr.9) eyerim, the function of the roller was evaluated. The surface roughness values of the roller of Ra was $0.05{\sim}0.156{\mu}m$ and of Rz was $0.23{\sim}067{\mu}m$. The values showed a satisfactory result compared with the surface roughness values Ra was $0.04{\mu}m$ and Rz was $0.3{\mu}m$ which was measured after barrel polishing for the titanium eyeglasses frame PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) gilding. As a result of cold rolling of Ti-3Al-2.5V (Half Titanium), the degree of hardness increased to 221Hv, 247Hv(1st), 270Hv(2nd), etc. Therefore, it was found that proper heat treatment and multi-stand rolling process are necessary.

The purpose of this study was to clarify the clinical efficiency of tungsten carbide/carbon coating on obtaining optimal preload of abutment screw compared with non-coated screw in external-hex implant system. In the present work, rotational value and the compressive force between abutment and fixture of abutment screws without coating and with coating tightened to 30Ncm were measured. Mean compressive force of coated screw was 504.6N. Then uncoated screw was tightened to clamping the abutment and the implant to 504.6N, and the tightening torque value and the rotational value was recorded. The following conclusions were drawn within the limitation of this study. Compressive force of coated screw was higher than that of uncoated screw after tightening at 30Ncm. The tightening torque that was nedeed to clamping the uncoated screw equal to coated screw tightened to 30Ncm was 55.6Ncm. In case of equal compressive force, there was no significant difference in rotation value between coated and uncoated screw.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the changes of osteoclast differentiation inhibition according to the period of precipitation when titanium disks were immersed in Modified simulated body fluid (mSBF). Materials and methods: Titanium alloy (Ti grade III) disks with machined surfaces and anodized surfaces were immersed in distilled water and mSBF, respectively. The immersion periods were 7 days, 14 days, 21 days and 28 days, and the control group was immersed in distilled water for each period. RAW 264.7 cells capable of differentiating into osteoclasts were used to measure the number of adherent cells, the measurement of TRAP activity, and the expression pattern of NFATc1 by western blotting. Results: The degree of inhibition of osteoclast differentiation was found to be statistically significant when the disks were immersed in mSBF for more than 14 days on both machined surfaces and anodized surfaces. There was no correlation between immersion time and cell attachment. When the disks were immersed for more than 14 days, TRAP activity was decreased and NFATc1 expression was inhibited. Futhermore, the decrease in TRAP activity and the inhibition of NFATc1 expression remained unchanged. Conclusion: Immersion of titanium disks in mSBF for more than 14 days can prevent RAW 264.7 cells from differentiating into osteoclasts. Inhibition activity does not change even if the immersion period is for more than 14 days.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of intraoral temperature changes on the orthodontic force level of a superelastic nickel-titanium alloy wire. Methods: Nickel-titanium archwires of $0.016"{\times}0.022"$ thickness were tested with a three point bending test setup, and temperature changes were applied. The force level changes according to temperature changes were measured at a 1.5 mm deflection during the loading phase and a 1.5 mm deflection during the unloading phase from a deflection to 3.1mm. Ten cycles of thermal cycling from baseline $(37^{\circ}C)$ to cold $(20^{\circ}C)$ or hot $(50^{\circ}C)$temperature were applied. Results: Alter thermal cycling, the force level during the loading phase decreased and the force level during the unloading phase increased even after the temperature was changed to the initial $37^{\circ}C$. Conclusions: The results suggest that the orthodontic force level can not return to the initial force level after temperature changes. When applying superelastic nickel-titanium archwires, we must consider that a lighter force than the loading force and a heavier force than the unloading force will be applied after intraoral temperature changes caused by eating and drinking.

Titanium is widely used as an implant material due to its excellent biocompatibility, but has a problem due to high cost and high Young's modulus compared to bone. Magnesium alloy is attracting attention as a material to replace it. Magnesium alloy, like titanium, has excellent biocompatibility and has a Young's modulus similar to that of bone. However, there are corrosion resistance problems due to corrosion, and various surface treatment methods are being studied to solve them. In this study, the ceramic coating layer was grown on the surface of the AZ31 magnesium alloy in an electrolytic solution containing EDTA, and the properties of the formed coating were analyzed through SEM and XRD to analyze the microstructure and shape, and measured the micro hardness of the coating layer. Corrosion properties in the body were evaluated through a corrosion test in SBF solution, a component similar to blood plasma.

When conducting a powder blasting to a spinning cylindrical workpiece in the codition of 0.76~1.5(mm) in nozzle size, 1~5(atm) in working pressure, and 40~100(mm) in stand off distance, the value of surface roughness becomes under $0.283{\mu}m$, which is not enough to expand a bonding area. In the case of horizontal transfer blasting with 0.76mm of nozzle size, 100mm of stand off distance, and 2~5atm of working pressure, $0.5{\sim}0.7{\mu}m$ of surface roughness has achieved regardless of feed rate.

항공기의 제트 엔진을 비롯하여 육상용 발전기, 선박용 엔진, 로켓 엔진 등에 널리 사용되는 터빈 블레이드를 포함한 고온용 가스터빈 부품은 최대 온도 120$0^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온에 노출되어 가혹한 기계적 응력을 받는 동시에 고온에서의 표면 안정성이 요구되므로 초내열 니켈 합금(superalloy), 티타늄 합금, 내열강 등의 고온강도가 우수한 합금이 사용된다. 그런데 합금성분이 많이 첨가된 내열 합금을 용접하는 경우, 미세균열, 용접부의 기계적 성질의 저하, 용접열영향부의 내식성과 내산화성의 저하, 용접외부 결함에 의한 피로강도 저하 등의 문제가 발생하므로 이를 해결해야 한다. 본고에서는 생산성과 용접품질이 우수한 고밀도 에너지빔 용접의 적용 현황에 관하여 고찰코자 한다.

티타늄과 티타늄 합금은 재료적 특이성 때문에 심장 혈관 임플란트에서 일반적으로 사용되어 왔다. 일찍이 적용된 예로는 인공심장판막, 심박조율기의 보호케이스, 혈액 순환 장치 등이 있다. 하지만 물질유도혈전증(Material-induced thrombosis)은 혈전폐색에 의해 기인한 기능 손실로 심장혈관 임플란트 장치의 주된 합병증으로 존재하고 있으며, 심장혈관 임플란트의 혈전유전자는 심장혈관장치의 발달에 주된 난관 중 하나로 남아있다. 그리고 텍스처 혈액 접합 물질(Textured blood-contacting material)은 1960년대 초반 이후부터 혈액순환 보조 장치의 임상실험에 사용되고 있다. 접합 물질에 내장된 텍스처 섬유조직 표면은 형성, 성장, 안정적 부착, 생물학적 내벽(neointimal layer) 등 유도 혈액(entrapping blood) 성분에 의해 형성된다. 공동(cavity) 형상의 용해 가능한 미립자를 사용하는 SCPL법(Solvent casting/particulate leaching method)은 티타늄 기질 이전에 형성된 폴리우레탄 위에 텍스처(texture)를 생성하기 위해 사용되었다. 또한 콜라겐의 부동화(不動化)에 의한 공동(cavity)은 혈액 접합면에 잔존하기 위한 내피세포를 고정할 수 있는 효과가 있다. cpTi로 층화된 PU 기소공성(microporous)은 구조적 특성과 혈전증 감소를 위한 생물학적 내벽 사용의 잠재성을 평가하기 위한 세포 공동체 실험을 통해서 평가되었다.
