Ti-6Al-4V extra low interstitial (ELI) alloy has been widely used as an orthopedic implant material because of its excellent biocompatibility, corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. However, V-free titanium alloys such as Ti-6%Al-7%Nb and Ti-5%Al-2.5%Fe have recently been developed because of the toxicity of V. Hydroxyapatite (HA) is used as a coating material on Ti or Ti biomaterials due to its good biocompatibility. However, HA coated on Ti alloy causes a problem for tissue by peeling off during usage. Therefore, such peeling off during long time usage can be suppressed by adding HA in Ti or Ti alloy composites. The aim of this study was to manufacture an ultra fine grained (UFG) Ti-Nb-HA bulk alloy, which is usually difficult to fabricate using melting and casting technology, by rapid sintering process using high energy mechanical milled (HEMM) powder.

Because magnets fabricated using Nd-Fe-B exhibit excellent magnetic properties, this novel material is used in various high-tech industries. However, because of the brittleness and low formability of Nd-Fe-B magnets, the design freedom of shapes for improving the performance is limited based on conventional tooling and postprocessing. Laser-powder bed fusion (L-PBF), the most famous additive manufacturing (AM) technique, has recently emerged as a novel process for producing geometrically complex shapes of Nd-Fe-B parts owing to its high precision and good spatial resolution. However, because of the repeated thermal shock applied to the materials during L-PBF, it is difficult to fabricate a dense Nd-Fe-B magnet. In this study, a high-density (>96%) Nd-Fe-B magnet is successfully fabricated by minimizing the thermal residual stress caused by substrate heating during L-PBF.

Precise scientific-diagnosis for preserving stone cultural properties has been well-advanced, but research on proper methods for conservation, restoration and repair is still in early stage. Accordingly it is quite difficult to establish conservation treatment methods compatible to unique characteristics and environments of each cultural property. We tried to select most compatible conservation materials through thorough assessment of conservation materials in current use. This research is focused on conservation and restoration materials except cleaner, which are used as adhesive, filler, repellent and consolidant. Conservation treatments for stone cultural properties were first tested in 1960's and have been carried out by various methods under relevant organizations and conservation treatment companies since. We investigated present status of conservation materials being used for cultural properties. Based on these data, we will look through types and properties of the conservation materials to figure out existing problems. Among many kinds of resins, the ratio of conservation materials used in cultural properties is very low. Therefore, new conservation materials equipped with proved long-term stability should be developed as soon as possible.

This study deals with the truing of diamond wheel fur the manufacture of micro v-shaped grooves with fine sharp edges in the grinding. Fine micro v-shaped grooves are key components to fabricate LGP(light guide plate), optical fiber connector and so on. Conventional v-shaped groove methods such as etching and lithography are difficult to make grooves with accuracy and cutting by lathe is difficult to select target materials. Therefore, as a preliminary stage to developing the grinding technology that will be expected fabrications for micro 3-dimensional structure of high effectivity and accuracy and freed up the restrictions of machinability to the materials for micro v-shaped grooves, truing is carried out with resin bond diamond wheel and electroforming diamond wheel using a cup-type truer. From the experimental results, it is found that the effects according to working direction of the cup-type truer and the restrainable methods of plastic deformation that is generated at wheel edge are examined. As a result, fine micro v-shaped diamond wheel was obtained, which are applicable to micro grinding for optical devices.

Modem applications could benefit from multifunctional materials having anisotropic optical, electrical, thermal, or mechanical properties, especially when coupled with locally controlled distribution of the directional response. Such materials are difficult to engineer by conventional methods, but the electric field-aided technology presented herein is able to locally tailor electroactive composites. Applying an electric field to a polymer in its liquid state allows the orientation of chain- or fiber-like inclusions or phases from what was originally an isotropic material. Such composites can be formed from liquid solutions, melts, or mixtures of pre-polymers and cross-linking agents. Upon curing, a 'created composite' results; it consists of these 'pseudofibers' embedded in a matrix. One can also create oriented composites from embedded spheres, flakes, or fiber-like shapes in a liquid plastic. Orientation of the externally applied electric field defines the orientation of the field-aided self-assembled composites. The strength and duration of exposure of the electric field control the degree of anisotropy created. Results of electromechanical testing of these modified materials, which are relevant to sensing and actuation applications, are presented. The materials' micro/nanostructures were analyzed using microscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques.

Aluminum, magnesium, titanium and high Mn steel are difficult to use in electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) sample preparation due to the formation of an oxidation layer under conventional polishing. Alcohol-based polishing with colloidal silica suspension was introduced for these delicate samples. A hard particle-embedded sample was analyzed successfully using mechanical polishing. Ion-milling was effective in removing oxidized, deformed and transformed layers after mechanical polishing and was able to reduce artifacts significantly. The microstructure of a cross-section of a thin copper film was evaluated by attachment of a dummy to the film for mechanical polishing.

Concurrent processes come into conflict with each other when they are competing for the use of the same resources. In the case of competing processes three control problems must be faced: mutual exclusion, deadlock, and starvation. The concurrency is a subject rather difficult to understand. In addition, because concurrent programs included in most of OS texts are described by pseudocode and are not being able to execute directly, almost learners are difficult to understand behaviour of concurrent programs. The purpose of this study is to propose instruction method for mutual exclusion using SDL and MSC base on graphic. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed materials, we compare with materials based on pseudocode. The results indicated that the proposed materials is more effective than materials based on pseudocode in teaching-learning for mutual exclusion mechanisms.

The instrumented Charpy impact test is generally used to evaluate the dynamic fracture toughnesses for varying engineering materials. However, the test is known to be difficult to evaluate the dynamic fracturetoughnesses for very brittle materials because of the small crack initiation load which may be engulfed by the inertia load of the instrumented tup. To evaluate the dynamic fracture toughnesses of very brittle materials, such as chalk or plaster,it is thus, necessary to develop a load sensitive instrumented tup. In this study, a polymer tup, which has very small Young's modulus comparing to one of the conventional steel tup, is used for the instrumented Charpy impact test, and a proper testing method to evaluate the dynamic fracture behavior of very brittle materials is developed. The results show that the developed method can measure rapidly changing loads from the moment of contact between the tup and the specimen to dynamic crack initiation of the very brittle materials.

The effects of radiation on the corrosion of canister materials were investigated for the reliable disposal of high-level radioactive waste. The test specimens were gamma-irradiated at a very low dose rate of approximately 0.1 Gy/h for six and twelve months. The copper and cast iron species were less corroded when irradiated. It is hypothesized that gamma rays suppress the formation of lower-enthalpy species like metal oxides and activate reductive reactions. In contrast, it was difficult to evaluate the effect of radiation on the corrosion of titanium and stainless steel.
