The characteristic of sheet metal process is the few loss of material during process, the short processing time and the excellent price and strength. The static implicit finite element method is applied effectively to analyze stamping processes from using AutoForm software. The simulation analysis can be applied to the membrane elements and shell elements. Membrane elements can be applied to good efficiency, but lower than the accuracy of shell elements. Therefore, simple drawing process applies membrane element, and spring-back and analysis of stamping process are judged that it is most efficient that apply shell clement. This study, the simulated results for stamping processes are shown and discussed.

Mutual interferences of alkali and alkali-earth metals in atomic absorption were examined. For determination of Na or K interfering elements increase the absorbancy, and for Ca or Mg decrease. Since influences of coexisting elements become nearly constant by addition of large amount of same coexisting element, could be use mixed standard solution for alkali or alkali-earth metal determination in the presence of other alkali and alkali-earth metals. The metals can be readily incorporated into scheme of rapid silicate analysis. Precision and accuracy are good.

Precision metal mold casting process is a casting method manufacturing mechanical elements with high precision, having heavy/light alloys as casting materials and using permanent mold. To improve dimensional accuracy and the final mechanical properties of the castings, the solidification speed and the cooling rate of the casting should be controlled with the optimum mold cooling system, and moreover, to obtain more accurate control of the whole process interfacial heat transfer characteristic at the mold/casting interface must be studied in advance. In the present study, aluminum alloy casting system with metal mold equipped with electrical heating elements and water cooling system was designed and the temperature histories at points inside the metal mold were measured during the casting process. The heat transfer phenomena at the mold/casting interface was characterized by the heat flux between solidifying casting metal and metal mold, and the heat flux history was obtained using inverse heat conduction method. The effect of mold cooling condition upon the heat flux profile was examined, and the analysis shows that the heat flux value has its maximum at the beginning of the process.

We present a study of the metallicities, ages, and alpha-elements of globular clusters (GCs) in nearby giant elliptical galaxies (gEs) (M87, M49, M60, NGC 5128, NGC 1399, NGC 1407, and NGC 4636) using data in the literature. We used only the data for the GCs derived from the comparison of absorption line indices with the single stellar population model. The metallicity distributions of GCs in these gEs are bimodal, showing the existence of metal-poor and metal-rich populations. All these gEs harbor young GCs with ages less than 5 Gyr as well as old GCs. The mean age of the metal-rich GCs ([Fe/H]>-0.9) is about 3 Gyr younger than that of the metal-poor GCs. The mean values for the alpha-elements of the GCs are smaller than or similar to that of the Milky Way GCs. All the GCs in these gEs show an age-metallicity relation; the larger the metallicities of the GCs are, the younger the GCs are. Old GCs with ages > 10 Gyr have two distinct sub-populations (metal poor and metal rich), while young GCs show a broad metallicity distribution with a single peak. We discuss these results in relation with the formation of GCs in gEs.

The novel metal position detection method is proposed where conventional techniques, in high temperature, moisture and particle environment, are not able to be applied. It is known that electronic devices, utilizing microwave, ultrasonic or optical technique, are hard to apply for sensing application where temperature is exceeding above 300 degree centigrade. Metal position detection technique, which was consisted with passive elements facing hot sensing surface, utilizing electromagnetic wave was investigated, and the metal detection sensitivity was measured by varying sensor frequency and sensing distance. Measurement result in laboratory test set-up showed position measurement resolution up to 1mm, when distance between two sensing elements were 500mm, and possibility to measure position of hot metal sheet having very high surface temperature.

Electrical properties of the Thin Film Transistor(TFT) electrode metal films were investigated through the Test Elements Group(TEG) experiment. The main purpose of this investigation was to characterize the electrical resistance properties of patterned metal films with respect to the variations of film thickness and TEG metal line width. Aluminum(Al), Tantalum(Ta) and Chromium(Cr) that are currently used as TFT electrode films were selected as the probed metal films. To date, no work in the electrical characterizations of patterned electrodes of a-Si TFT was accomplished. Bulk resistance$(R_b)$, sheet resistance$(R_s)$, and resistivities($\rho$) of TEG patterned metal lines were obtained. Electrical continuity test of metal film lines was also performed in order to investigate the stability of metallization process. Almost uniform-linear variations of the electrical properties with respect to the metal line displacements was also observed.

Rare earth elements, which are important components of motors, are in high demand and thus constantly get more expensive. This tendency is driven by the growth of the electric vehicle market, as well as environmental issues associated with rare-earth metal manufacturing. TC 298 of the ISO manages standardization in the areas of rare-earth recycling, measurement, and sustainability. Korea, a resource-poor country, is working on international standardization projects that focus on recycling and encouraging the domestic adoption of international standards. ITU-T has previously issued recommendations regarding the recycling of rare-earth metals from e-waste. ISO TC 298 expands on the previous recommendations and standards for promoting the recycling industry. Recycling-related rare earth standards and drafts covered by ISO TC 298, as well as Korea's strategies, are reviewed and discussed in this article.

Adsorption behavior of metal elements onto soil minerals such as illite, halloysite. zeolite(clinoptilolite). and goethite was comparatively investigated at $25^{\circ}C$ using pollutant water collected from a gold-bearing metal mine. Speciation of solutions reacted was determined by WATEQ4F program, indicating that most of metal ions exist as free ions and that there is little difference in chemical species and their relative abundances between initial soultion and reacted solutions. The experimental data exhibit that the adsorption extent of elements varies depending on mineral types and reaction time. The adsorption process practically took place within one hour, with Fe and As significantly removed from solutions. On the whole, halloysite is regarded as the most effective adsorbent among minerals used in the experiment. Adsorption properties of alkali elements do not consistent with a manner predicted from hydrated ionic radii.

Metal filter elements were newly introduced to the high temperature filter(HTF) system in the low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste vitrification plant. In order to evaluate the performance of various metal materials as filter media, elements made of AISI 316L, AISI 904L, and Inconel 600 were included to the test set of filter elements. At the visual inspection to the elements performed after completion of each test, a few dark spots were observed on the surface of some elements. Especially they were found much more at the AISI 316L elements than others. To check the dark spots are the corrosion phenomena or not, two kinds of analyses were performed to the tested filter elements. Firstly, the surfaces or the cross sections of filter specimens cut out from both normal area and dark spot area of elements were analyzed by SEM/EDS. The results showed that the dark spots were not evidences of corrosion but the deposition of sodium, sulfur and silica compounds volatilized from waste or molten glass. Secondly, the ring tensile strength were analyzed for the ring-shape filter specimens cut out from each kind of element. The result obtained from the strength tested showed no evidence of corrosion as well. Conclusionally, depending on the two kinds of analysis, no evidences of corrosion were found at the tested metal filter elements. But the dark spots formed on the surface could reduce the effective filtering area and increase the overall pressure drop of HTF system. Thus, continuous heating inside filter housing up to dew point will be required normally. And a few long-period test should be followed for the exact evaluation of corrosion of the metal filter elements.
