The erosion wear of gun barrel occurs due to heat and chemical reactions. The high pressure and temperature in chamber increase the erosion wear. It is known that the metal phase transfer is the primary wear factor in a gun barrel under high temperature. In this paper, the tool of wear prediction in high pressure gun tube has been developed. The program developed has three modules such as DIRECT(interior ballistics analysis module), INVERSE(gun design module), and WEAR(wear prediction module). The prediction of wear was compared with the experimental data which was collected in the field unit. The prediction results shows good trend with the collected data.

Two-step neural network is designed for determining electrical discharge machining parameters in low erosion. The first neural network, which is used as a classification network, checks whether the current conditions are appropriate to electrical discharge machining in low tool erosion. If the conditions are appropriate to EDM in low erosion, suitable EDM parameters are generated by the second neural network. Theoretically known EDM conditions are produced and also utilized for training the second neural network. The trained neural network is tested how well suitable EDM machining conditions are generated under unknown machining situations Experimental result shows that the proposed two-step neural network approach could be effectively used for determining EDM parameters in low tool erosion. The results also have a practical contribution to EDM area in that it could be applied for maintaining low tool wear as well as obtaining maximum machining rates simultaneously.

The effects of recirculated exhaust gas on the wear of cylinder liner and piston were experimentally investigated by a two-cylinder, four cycle, indirect injection diesel engine operating at 75% lo ad and 1600 rpm. For the purpose of comparison between the wear rates of the two cylinders with and without EGR, the recirculated exhaust gas was sucked into one of two cylinders after the soot in exhaust emissions was removed by an intentionally designed cylinder-type scrubber equipped with 6 water injectors(A water injector has 144 nozzles of 1.0 mm diameter), while only the fresh air was inhaled into the other cylinder. These experiments were carried out with the fuel injection timing fixed at 15.3$^{\circ}$ BTDC. It was found that the mean wear rate of cylinder liner with EGR was greater in the measurement positions of the second half than those of the first half, that the mean wear rate without EGR was almost uniform regardless of measurement positions, and that the wear rate of piston skirt with EGR increased a little bit, but the piston head diameter increased, rather than decreased, owing to soot adhesion and erosion wear, and especially larger with EGR.

Damage of hydraulic concrete structures by the abrasion and erosion process is very severe and it indicates that the necessity of considering the influence of this process while designing concrete mixtures. Abrasion wear of concrete in hydraulic structures is caused by the movement of particles, water-borne debris. The resistance against erosion for high-strength self-consolidating concrete(SCC) was examined in this paper. A newly designed testing method is presented in order to quantitatively estimate the erosion of concrete. It was shown that loss of volume in abraded concrete can be explained as function of material parameters such as the amount of fly ash and blast furnace slag. Those admixtures have been widely used to reduce heat of hydration and improve resistance against sulfate attack. The results of current study can be used as a guideline in selecting the composition of concrete exposed to abrasion-wear.

Extensive dental erosion and wear will cause serious loss of function and aesthetics in the mouth. In order to recover this condition, careful analysis of the patient's bite relationship is required. In particular, a treatment plan should be established considering the possibility of reproduction of the vertical dimension and centric relation, and appropriateness of the occlusal plane and anterior guidance. Also, the choice of prosthetic materials is an important consideration in patients with severe wear. In this case, patients with overall wear and erosion on tooth was established anterior guidance by orthodontic treatment and fully restored with monolithic zirconia, without increasing vertical dimension.

The effects of recirculated exhaust gas on the wears of piston and piston rings were investigated by the experiment with a two-cylinder, four cycle, indirect injection diesel engine operating at an engine load of 75% and an engine speed of 1600 rpm. For the purpose of comparison between the wear rates of two cylinders with and without EGR, the recirculated exhaust gas was sucked into one of two cylinders after the soot contenets in exhaust emissions were removed by an intentionally designed cylinder-type scrubber equipped with 6 water injectors(A water injector has 144 nozzles of 1.0 mm diameter), while only the fresh air was inhaled into the other cylinder. These experiments were carried out on the fuel injection timing fixed at 15.3$^{\circ}$ BTDC. It was found that the wear rate of piston skirt with EGR increased a little bit, but the piston head diameter increased, rather than decreased, owing to soot adhesion and erosion wear, and especially larger with EGR, and that the wear rates of the top and second piston ring(compression ring)thickness with EGR were more than twice the wear rate of top ring in case of no EGR, but the wear rate of oil rings thickness without EGR increased greater than that with EGR.

Si$_3$N$_4$-6wt%Y$_2$O$_3$-lwt%Al$_2$O$_3$was prepared by hot pressed and gas pressure sintering to investigate the effect of microstructure on erosion behaviors. Hardness and fracture toughness were measured with prepared specimens to study the high temperature erosion properties. A gas blast type erosion tester was used In examine erosion behavior of the specimens up to 700$^{\circ}C$. In case of GPS silicon nitride, the erosion rate increases up to 500$^{\circ}C$ and decreases over 500$^{\circ}C$. Maximum erosion rate was observed at 300$^{\circ}C$ for HP silicon nitride. The principal factors affecting the high temperature erosive wear of brittle materials are largely dependent on high temperature properties of grain boundaries.

The characteristics of arc sprayed layer were studied with hardness test and microstructural observation. The erosion resistance of arc sprayed layer was also evaluated using a method of steel ball blasting test which was proposed in this study as a test method for measuring the erosion properties in the impact wear condition. By an impact of the molten droplets on the redeposited substrate, lamella structure was formed which contains laminated oxide layers, fissures, and porosities. As a result of mechanical tests, it was shown that the sprayed specimen showed higher hardness than the substrate, but it resulted in higher erosion rate than the substrate. The poor erosion property obtained with a sprayed coating was considered to be attributable to easy flaking off the the layers laminated with brittle oxide layers.

HVOF thermal spray coating of Co-alloy T800 is progressively replacing the classical hard coatings such as chrome plating because of the very toxic $Cr^{6+}$ ion known as carcinogen causing lung cancer. For the study of the possibility of replacing of chrome plating, the wear properties of HVOF Co-alloy T800 coatings are investigated using the reciprocating sliding tester both at room and at an elevated temperature of $1000^{\circ}F\;(538^{\circ}C)$. The possibility as durability improvement coating is studied for the application to the high speed spindles vulnerable to frictional heat and wear. Wear mechanisms at the reciprocating sliding wear test are studied for the application to the systems similar to the sliding test such as high speed spindles. Wear debris and frictional coefficients of T800 coatings both at room and at an elevated temperature of $1000^{\circ}F\;(538^{\circ}C)$ are drastically reduced compared to those of non-coated surface of parent substrate Inconel 718. This study shows that the coating is recommendable for the durability improvement coatings on the surfaces vulnerable to frictional heat. The sliding surfaces are weared by the mixed mechanisms such as oxidative wear, abrasion by the sliding ball slurry erosion by the mixture of solid particles and small drops of the melts and semi-melts of the attrited particles cavitation by the relative motions among the coating, sliding ball, the melts and semi-melts. and corrosive wear. The oxide particles and the melts and semi-melts play roles as solid and liquid lubricant reducing the wear and friction coefficient.

Tribaloy 800 (T800) powder is coated on the Inconel 718 substrate by the optimal High Velocity Oxy-Fuel (HVOF) thermal spray coating process developed by this laboratory. For the study of the possibility of replacing of the widely used classical chrome plating, friction, wear properties and sliding wear mechanism of coatings are investigated using reciprocating sliding tester both at room and at an elevated temperature of $1000^{\circ}F\;(538^{\circ}C). Both at room temperature and at $538^{\circ}C$, friction coefficients and wear debris of coatings are drastically reduced compared to those of non-coated surface of Inconel 718 substrate. Friction coefficients and wear traces of both coated and non-coated surfaces are drastically reduced at higher temperature of $538^{\circ}C$ compared with those at room temperature. At high temperature, the brittle oxides such as $CoO,\;Co_3O_4,\;MoO_2,\;MoO_3$ are formed rapidly on the sliding surfaces, and the brittle oxide phases are easily attrited by reciprocating slides at high temperature through complicated mixed wear mechanisms. The sliding surfaces are worn by the mixed mechanisms such as oxidative wear, abrasion, slurry erosion. The brittle oxide particles and melts and partial-melts play roles as solid and liquid lubricant reducing friction coefficient and wear. These show that the coating is highly recommendable for the durability improvement coating on the surfaces vulnerable to frictional heat and wear.
