Manganese has a role as both toxic and essential in humans. Manganese is also an essential component in the welding because it increases the hardness and strength, prevents steel from cracking of welding part and acts as a deoxidizing agent to form a stable weld. In this study, manganese generation rate and its content was determined in flux cored arc welding on stainless steel. Domestic two products and foreign four products of flux cored wires were tested in the well designed fume generation chamber as a function of input power. Welding fume was measured by gravimetric method and metal manganese was determined by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrophotometer. The outer shell of the flux cored wire tube and inner flux were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy to determine their metal compositions. Manganese generation rate($FGR_{mn}$) was increased as the input power increased. It was 16.3 mg/min at the low input power, 38.1 mg/min at the optimal input power, and up to 55.4 mg/min at the high input power. This means that $FGR_{mn}$ is increased at the work place if welder raise the current and/or voltage for the high productivity. The slope coefficient of $FGR_{mn}$ was smaller than that of the generation rate of total fume(FGR). Also, the correlation coefficient of $FGR_{mn}$ was 0.65 whereas that of FGR is 0.91. $FGR_{mn}$ was equal or higher in the domestic products than that of the foreign products although FGR was similar. From the electron microscopic analytical data, we concluded that outer shell of the wire was composed mainly of iron, chromium, nickel and less than 1.2 % of manganese. There are many metal ingredients such as iron, silica, manganese, zirconium, titanium, nickel, potassium, and aluminum in the inner flux but they were not homogeneous. It was found that both $FGR_{mn}$ and content of manganese was higher and more varied in domestic flux cored wires than those of foreign products. To reduce worker exposure to fumes and hazardous component at the source, further research is needed to develop new welding filler materials that improve the quality of flux cored wire in respect to these points. Welder should keep in mind that the FGR, $FGR_{mn}$ and probably the generation rate of other hazardous metals were increased as the input power increase for the high productivity.

The purpose of this study was to investigate factors affecting the composition and concentrations of fumes generated from various types of welding processes. The results are as follows. 1. Iron(Fe), zinc(Zn) and manganese(Mn) were predominant in Welding fumes. The Fe content in total fumes was 25.5% in coated electrode and 28.2% in $CO_2$ are welding, and the Zn content was 4.5% and 9.1%, respectively, and the Mn was 3.6% and 7.8%, respectively. 2. It was found that the important factors determining composition and concentration of fumes were type of industries, type of welding processes, type and composition of electrodes, composition of base metals, confinement of workplaces or condition of ventilation, work intensity, coated metals such as lead and Zn in paint. 3. The Mn content in airborne fumes was highly correlated with that of electrode(r=0.77, p<0.01) and was about 4 times higher than that in electrodes or base metals. The results lindicate that Mn is well evaporated into air during welding. The higher vapor pressure of Mn may explain this phenomenon. 4. the airborne total fume concentrations were significantly different among types of industries(p<0.001). The airborne total fume concentration was higher in order of sleel-structure manufacturing($GM=15.1mg/m^3$), shipbuilding($GM=13.2mg/m^3$), automobile-component manufacturing ($GM=7.8mg/m^3$) and automobile assembling industry($GM=3.0mg/m^3$) 5. The airbone total fume concentration was 6 times higher in $CO_2$ welding than in coated electrode welding, and approximately 3 times higher in confined area than in open area, in steel-structure manufacturing industry. 6. The concentration of welding fume outside welding helmet was about 2 times higher than that inside it. It is recommened that air sampling be done inside helmet to evaulate worker's exposure accurately, for it has an outstanding effect on reducing worker exposure to fumes and other contaminants.

The objectives of this study were to examine the lung injury and inflammation caused by manual metal arc stainless steel(MMA-SS) welding fume inhalation and to evaluate the recovery process. Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to MMA-SS welding fumes for 2 h per day in a whole-body exposure chamber, with a total suspended particulate(TSP) concentration of $51.4{\pm}2.8mg/m^3$(low dose) or $84.6{\pm}2.9mg/m^3$(high dose) for 30 days. The animals were sacrificed after 30 days of exposure as well as after a 30-day recovery period. To assess the inflammatory or injury responses, cellular and biochemical parameters as well as cytokines were assayed in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF). MMA-SS welding fume exposure led to a significant elevation in the number of alveolar macrophages(AM) and polymorphonuclear cells(PMN). Additionary, the values of $\beta$-n-acetyl glucosaminidase($\beta$-NAG) and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) in the BALF were increased in the exposed group when compared to controls. After 30 days of recovery from exposure, a significant reduction in inflammatory parameters of BALF was observed between the exposed and recovered groups. Slight, but significant elevations were noted in the number of AM and PMN in the recovered groups, and AM that had been ingested fume particles still remain in the lungs. In conclusion, these results indicated that welding fumes induced inflammatory responses and cytotoxicity in the lungs of exposed rats. Fume particles were not fully cleared from lungs even after a 30-day recovery period.

무기질 단열재 개발을 위해 포말법을 이용하여 다공성 세라믹스를 제조하였다. 실리카 흄과 SiO₂를 주 원료로 사용하였으며, 다공성 세라믹의 균일한 기공 형성을 위한 첨가제로 벤토나이트를 사용하였다. 다공성 세라믹은 1200℃에서 소결하였으며, 기공율, 밀도, 압축강도, 미세구조 그리고 열전도도 분석을 수행하였다. 다공성 세라믹은 SiO₂에 대한 실리카흄의 함량이 70~90 % 증가할수록 비중이 0.63에서 0.69로 증가하였으며, 압축강도는 9.41 Mpa에서 12.86 Mpa로 증가하였다. 그러나, 기공율은 비중과 반대로 72.07 %에서 70.82 %로 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 열전도도 측정 결과, 실리카 흄의 함량이 70 %인 F7S3 다공성 세라믹의 경우 25~800℃ 온도조건에서 0.75~0.72 W/m·K의 열전도도를 나타내었으며, 실리카 흄의 함량이 90 %인 F9S1 다공성 세라믹의 경우 0.66~0.86 W/m·K를 나타내어 실리카 흄 함량이 적을수록 낮은 열전도도를 나타내었다. 이는 기공율 결과와 일치한 것을 확인하였다. SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope)을 이용한 미세구조 분석 결과, 다공성 세라믹 내/외부에 전체적으로 수십~수백 ㎛ 범위 기공이 관찰되었으며 기공 분포가 비교적 균일한 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구는 고강도 고함량 고로슬래그 콘크리트의 특성에 미치는 석회석 미분말과 실리카퓸의 영향을 검토하기 위해 50%에서 최대 80%까지 고로슬래그를 다량 혼합하고, 석회석 미분말을 최대 20%, 실리카퓸을 최대 10%까지 혼합한 물-결합재비 20%의 고강도 시멘트 모르터의 유동성, 강도발현, 수화 및 포졸란 반응 특성, 공극율 및 공극 크기 분포 등을 분석하였다. 실험결과에 따르면 고함량 고로슬래그 배합은 포틀랜드 시멘트 배합에 비해 고로슬래그의 낮은 표면 마찰로 유동성이 크게 향상되고, 시멘트 수화에 필요한 자유수가 많아져 수화반응이 촉진되면서 초기강도가 증가하나, 너무 낮은 물-결합재비와 단위시멘트량으로 인해 수산화칼슘의 생성량이 부족하여 포졸란 반응이 충분히 활성화되지 못함에 따라 장기강도 발현이 억제된다. 석회석 미분말은 유동성에는 큰 영향을 주지 않고, 역시 시멘트의 초기 수화를 촉진하는 것으로 나타났으나, 수화를 가속하는 효과는 고로슬래그보다 높지 않고, 고로슬래그와 달리 수경성이 없기 때문에 오히려 석회석 미분말의 치환율이 높아질수록 압축강도가 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 고분말의 고로슬래그를 사용하거나, 또는 실리카퓸으로 고로슬래그를 치환하는 경우 시멘트 수화에 필요한 자유수를 더 많이 흡착함으로써 유동성과 강도를 저하시키는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 고로슬래그를 사용한 배합의 공극율이 보통 포틀랜드 시멘트 배합보다 낮게 나타났으나, 석회석 미분말은 공극율에 뚜렷한 영향을 나타내지 않았고 실리카퓸은 낮은 시멘트 수화도로 인해 공극율을 오히려 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 공극 크기 분포에 있어서는 고로슬래그와 실리카퓸를 혼합한 경우 미세공극이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다.
