최근 전기, 전자, 반도체 산업의 발전으로 전 고상 박막리튬전지는 초소형, 초경량의 마이크로 소자의 구현을 위한 고밀도 에너지원으로 각광받고 있다. 현재 양극박막은 대부분LCO(LiCoO2)계열이 이용되고 있으나, 코발트는 높은 가격과 인체 유해성 뿐만 아니라 상대적으로 낮은 용량(~140 mAh/g)등의 단점을 갖고 있어 향후 보다 고용량의 양극박막이 요구된다. 3원계 양극활물질 LiMO2(M=Co,Ni,Mn,etc.)은 우수한 충방전 효율 과 열적 안정성 뿐 아니라 277mAh/g의 높은 이론용량을 갖고 있어 고용량 양극박막으로의 적용시 고용량 박막이차전지 제작이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 전 고상 박막 전지의 구현을 위하여 RF 스퍼터링법을 사용하여 Li[Li0.2Mn0.54Co0.13Ni0.13]O2 박막을 증착하였다. Li/MnCoNi의 몰 비율을 변화시켜 높은 전기화학적 특성을 갖는 분말을 합성하여 제조한 타겟으로 Pt/TiO2/SiO2/Si 기판위에 RF 스퍼터법을 이용하여 박막을 성장시켰다. 박막 증착 시 가스의 비율은 Ar:O2=3:1로 하고 증착 압력의 조절(0.005~0.02 torr)을 통하여 박막의 두께와 표면 특성을 조절하며 성장시켰다. 또한 박막을 다양한 온도에서($400{\sim}550^{\circ}C$) 열처리하여 결정화도와 전기화학적 특성을 측정하였다. 증착 된 박막의 구조적 특성은 X-ray diffraction(XRD) 과 scanning electron microscopy(SEM)로 관찰되었다. 박막의 전기화학적 특성 평가를 위하여 Cyclic voltammatry를 측정하여 가역성의 정도를 확인하고 WBC3000 battery cycler를 이용한 half-cell 테스트를 통하여 박막의 용량을 평가하였다.

In this study, porous stainless steel (STS316L) sintered body was fabricated by powder metallurgy method and its properties such as porosity, compressive yield strength, hardness, and permeability were evaluated. 67.5Fe-17Cr- 13Ni-2.5Mo (wt%) powder was produced by a water atomization. The atomized powder was classified into size with under $45{\mu}m$ and over $180{\mu}m$, and then they were compacted with various pressures and sintered at $1210^{\circ}C$ for 1 h in a vacuum atmosphere. The porosities of sintered bodies could be obtained in range of 20~53% by controlling the compaction pressure. Compressive yield strength and hardness were achieved up to 268 MPa and 94 Shore D, respectively. Air permeability was obtained up to $79l/min{\cdot}cm^2$. As a result, mechanical properties and air permeability of the optimized porous body having a porosity of 25~40% were very superior to that of Al alloy.

The most important industrial application of gamma radiation in characterizing green compacts is the determination of the density. Examples are given where this method is applied in manufacturing technical components in powder metallurgy. The requirements imposed by modern quality management systems and operation by the workforce in industrial production are described. The accuracy of measurement achieved with this method is demonstrated and a comparison is given with other test methods to measure the density. The advantages and limitations of gamma ray densitometry are outlined. The gamma ray densitometer measures the attenuation of gamma radiation penetrating the test parts (Fig. 1). As the capability of compacts to absorb this type of radiation depends on their density, the attenuation of gamma radiation can serve as a measure of the density. The volume of the part being tested is defined by the size of the aperture screeniing out the radiation. It is a channel with the cross section of the aperture whose length is the height of the test part. The intensity of the radiation identified by the detector is the quantity used to determine the material density. Gamma ray densitometry can equally be performed on green compacts as well as on sintered components. Neither special preparation of test parts nor skilled personnel is required to perform the measurement; neither liquids nor other harmful substances are involved. When parts are exhibiting local density variations, which is normally the case in powder compaction, sectional densities can be determined in different parts of the sample without cutting it into pieces. The test is non-destructive, i.e. the parts can still be used after the measurement and do not have to be scrapped. The measurement is controlled by a special PC based software. All results are available for further processing by in-house quality documentation and supervision of measurements. Tool setting for multi-level components can be much improved by using this test method. When a densitometer is installed on the press shop floor, it can be operated by the tool setter himself. Then he can return to the press and immediately implement the corrections. Transfer of sample parts to the lab for density testing can be eliminated and results for the correction of tool settings are more readily available. This helps to reduce the time required for tool setting and clearly improves the productivity of powder presses. The range of materials where this method can be successfully applied covers almost the entire periodic system of the elements. It reaches from the light elements such as graphite via light metals (AI, Mg, Li, Ti) and their alloys, ceramics ($AI_20_3$, SiC, Si_3N_4, $Zr0_2$, ...), magnetic materials (hard and soft ferrites, AlNiCo, Nd-Fe-B, ...), metals including iron and alloy steels, Cu, Ni and Co based alloys to refractory and heavy metals (W, Mo, ...) as well as hardmetals. The gamma radiation required for the measurement is generated by radioactive sources which are produced by nuclear technology. These nuclear materials are safely encapsulated in stainless steel capsules so that no radioactive material can escape from the protective shielding container. The gamma ray densitometer is subject to the strict regulations for the use of radioactive materials. The radiation shield is so effective that there is no elevation of the natural radiation level outside the instrument. Personal dosimetry by the operating personnel is not required. Even in case of malfunction, loss of power and incorrect operation, the escape of gamma radiation from the instrument is positively prevented.

Recently, many efforts related to the utilization of industrial by-products have been made to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the construction industry. Of these various efforts, concrete incorporating ground granulated blast furnace slag (BFS) provides many advantages compared to conventional concrete, such as high long-term compressive strength, improved durability and economic benefits because of its latent hydraulic property, and low compressive strength at early curing age. This paper investigates the compressive strength of high-activated ground granulated blast furnace slag blended mortar with slag by-product S type(SBP-S). The results of the experiment revealed that incorporating high-activated ground granulated blast furnace slag would affect the compressive strength of mortar. It was found that increasing the Blaine fineness and replacement ratio of slag by-product S type shows high compressive strength of mortar at early curing age because of its high $SiO_2$ and CaO contents in the slag. It is confirmed that an increase of curing age does not affect the compressive strength of mortar made with slag by-product S type at a high curing temperature. Moreover, it is possible to develop and design concrete manufactured with high-activated ground granulated blast furnace slag as binder considering the acceleration curing conditions and mix proportions.
