In order to improve thermal efficiency of the fossil fuel power plants, we need to develop advanced materials with superior durability in the ultra-super critical state, which requires surface modifications for superior surface properties. In this study, we coated the Incoloy 901 and 12-17Cr steels for turbine buckets and valves with nitriding, boriding, and $Cr_3C_2-NiCr$ HVOF(high velocity oxygen flow) method. Then the samples were heat treated at $650^{\circ}C$ for 100 hours in vacuum. We analyzed the evolution behaviors of nitrides such as $Fe_3N,\;Fe_4N$, and CrN and borides such as FeB and $Fe_2B$ with XRD and SEM/EDS by comparing hardnesses and compositions of the coated layers before and after the heat treatments.

본 연구목적은 열간압연용 런-아웃 테이블 롤러 표면의 기계적 성질을 개선하기 위해 다공질 자용성 합금으로 피복하는 방법을 개발하는 것이다. 열간압연에서 런-아웃 테이블의 롤러 내구성을 높이기 위해서는 고온에서 롤러표면의 경도를 높게 유지해야 하고, 내마모성, 내식성, 내열성, 내소부성 및 내응착성의 향상을 유지하여야 한다. 또한, 고온의 열연 강판을 안정적으로 이송할 수 있도록 하기 위해서는 롤러표면에 적절한 마찰계수를 유지하도록 하여야 하고, 롤러와 강판 사이에 미끄럼 발생이 없어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 자용성 합금에 텅스텐카바이드를 첨가시켜 서메트화하여 롤러의 내마모성을 증대시켰고, 미세 철분말을 롤러표면에 피복하여 다공질을 만들어 마찰계수를 높이고 붙잡음성을 향상시켰다. 그 결과, Ni-Cr 피복 롤러에 비하여 다공질 자용성 합금 피복 롤러는 피복층에 철분이 5 ~ 10 wt%로 많이 함유되어 재용융 공정에서 전기로로 가열하여 일부분만 합금화되고 나머지는 산화 및 용해에 의해 탈락되어 다공질로 나타나 강판과의 붙잡음성을 향상시켰다.

최근, 미생물전기화학기술(microbial electrochemical technology, MET)을 혐기성 소화에 적용하여 바이오가스 발생량을 증대시키는 연구가 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 하지만, 내부저항에 따른 Scale-up 측면에서는 아직 활발한 연구가 필요하며, 내부저항을 최소화하기 위한 방안으로는 전류밀도가 높은 전극의 선정, 이온강도 및 전기전도도의 증가, 다양한 전극의 형태 및 재질 선정 등이 보고되고 있다. 최근 Stainless steel은 내구성이 강할 뿐만 아니라 비용 역시 저렴하고, 특히 음극으로 사용되는 경우 백금 금속이나 탄소기반의 섬유재질의 전극과 유사한 효율이 나타남에 따라 그 관심이 높아지고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 Graphite carbon에 전기전도도 및 전류밀도, 내구성을 향상시킬 수 있는 Ni, Cu, Fe의 코팅 여부와 최근 주목받고 있는 Stainless steel 재질의 판형과 그물망 형태의 전극을 사용하여 전기화학적 특성과 바이오가스 발생량을 비교함으로서 그 효율을 평가하였다. 그 결과, 각 전극 재질에 따른 전류밀도는 $GC-C_M$, GC, SUS-P, SUS-M이 각각 2.03, 1.36, 1.04, $1.13A/m^2$으로 나타났으며, 메탄수율은 $GC-C_M$, GC, SUS-P, SUS-M이 각각 0.27, 0.14, 0.19, 0.21 $L-CH_4/g-COD_{rem.}$로 나타났다. 즉, Stainless 재질의 금속이 코팅된 Graphite carbon과 유사한 전류밀도와 메탄수율을 나타냄을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper was to investigate of a adhesiveness for the plasma sprayed coating materials did salt spray by acoustic emission method in tensile loadings. The powders used for the coating were nickel aluminum composite powder Ni-4.5wt.%Al and titanium dioxide powder $TiO_2$. These powders were coated on a carbon steel S45C by plasma spray method. The result solution was a 5% NaCl and the slat spray times were 2, 5 and 10 hours respectively. The salt solution penetrated into the surface of the substrate through pore of the coating layer built in the process of plasma spay. Corrosion productions formed on the surface of substrate. The adhesiveness between the substrate and the coating layer is weaken by corrosion and the exfoliation initiated chiefly at the corrosion surface of the substrate. The AE events and energy of the corroded coating specimens decreased as the salt spray times increased.

Silica/SUS composite membranes were prepared for CO removal from products of methanol steam reforming. A support was prepared by coating Ni powder of sub-micron and SiO$_2$ sols of particle size of 500nm and 150nm in turns on a porous stainless steel (SUS) substrate. Silica top layer was coated on the modified support using colloidal sol with nanoparticle. As a result of mixture gas permeation test of silica composite membrane using H$_2$(99%)/CO(1%), CO concentration of 10000 ppm was reduced to under 81 ppm, which is acceptable in PEMFC anode gas specification. Permeation mechanism through the membrane was mainly molecular sieving.

A pair of connectors for transferring torque is widely used in various types of a mechanical system. By the repetition of mechanical contact between a pair of connector, wear occurs easily. This kind of defect sometimes can cause a serious problem of health in case of the connector is used in a refrigerator. In this work, the material combination of connectors was experimentally studied to reduce the amount of wear; for the combination of connectors, various types of engineering materials including polyacetal, polycabonate, stainless steel (STS-304), NiP coated STS-304, and STS-310 were evaluated to check each wear behavior. Also an effective method of wear test was suggested for precise controlling of wear conditions such as contact area, contact force, and relative motion speed. From the test results, it was found out that a pair of polyacetal to STS-304 and STS-310 showed the lowest specific wear rates among other pairs.

In order to evaluate the corrosion resistance at the anode side separator for molten carbonate fuel cell, STS316 and SACC-STS316 (chromium and aluminum were simultaneously deposited by diffusion into STS316 authentic stainless steel substrate by pack-cementation process) were applied as the separator material. In case of STS316, corrosion proceeded via three steps ; a formation step of corrosion product until stable corrosion product, a protection step against corrosion until breakaway occurs, a advance step of corrosion after breakaway. Especially, STS316 would be impossible to use the separator without suitable surface modification because of rapid corrosion rate after formation of corrosion product, occurs the severe problem on stability of cell during long-time operation. Whereas, SACC-STS316 was showed more effective corrosion resistance than the present separator, STS316 due to the intermetallic compound layer such as NiAl, Ni3Al formed on the surface of STS316 specimen. And it is anticipated that, in order to use SACC-STS316 alternative separator at the anode side, coating process, which can lead to dense coating layer, has to be developed, and by suitable pre-treatment before using it, very effective corrosion resistance will be achieved.

With femtosecond (fs) laser pulse irradiation on metals, various types of nano- and micro-scale structures can be naturally induced at the surface through laser-matter interaction. Two notable structures are laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSSs) and cone/spike structures, which are known to significantly modify the optical and physical properties of metal surfaces. In this work, we irradiate fs laser pulses onto various types of metals, cold-rolled steel, pickled & oiled steel, Fe-18Cr-8Ni alloy, Zn-Mg-Al alloy coated steel, and pure Cu which can be useful for precise molding and imprinting processes, and adjust the morphological profiles of LIPSSs and cone/spike structures for clear structural coloration and a larger range of surface wettability control, respectively, by changing the fluence of laser and the speed of raster scan. The periods of LIPSSs on metals used in our experiments are nearly independent of laser fluence. Accordingly, the structural coloration of the surface with LIPSSs can be optimized with the morphological profile of LIPSSs, controlled only by the speed of the raster scan once the laser fluence is determined for each metal sample. However, different from LIPSSs, we demonstrate that the morphological profiles of the cone/spike structures, including their size, shape, and density, can be manipulated with both the laser fluence and the raster scan speed to increase a change in the contact angle. By injection molding and imprinting processes, it is expected that fs laser-induced surface structures on metals can be replicated to the plastic surfaces and potentially beneficial to control the optical and wetting properties of the surface of injection molded and imprinted products.

Ni/MH 2차전지의 음극용 금속간화합물전극의 부식특성에 미치는 합금원소와 결합제의 영향을 조사하였다. 전극의 재료는 $(LM)Ni_{4.49}Co_{0.1}Mn_{0.205}Al_{0.205}$와 $(LM)Ni_{3.6}Co_{0.7}Mn_{0.3}Al_{0.4}$의 $AB_5$ type합금을 모재로 하였다. 여기에 Si sealant 또는 PTFE를 결합제로 첨가한 것과 원재료 분말에 구리를 20% 무전해도금한 것을 냉간 압착하여 전극을 제조하였다. 부식특성을 조사하기위해 탈공기된 6M의 KOH 용액에서 동전위법과 순환전위법을 이용하여 부식전류와 전류밀도를 측정하였다. 모재에 Co가 많이 함유되면 전극의 내식성을 향상시키고 Ni이 많이 함유되면 충전과 방전을 반복하는 동안에 전극의 안정성을 저하시켰다. 부식전류밀도는 Si sealant를 결합제로 사용한 전극의 경우가 PTFE를 사용한 전극의 경우보다 낮았고 Cu가 도금된 전극은 내식성에서 가장 우수하게 나타났다.
