The effects of coating variables on the formation of aluminide coating layer with good oxidation resistance on the strongest hot-forged superalloy in the world, KM 1557 developed at KIST by pack cementation process were studied. Pack aluminizing were performed by high-activity process with pure aluminium powders and by low-activity process with codep powders. For high-activity process, Al deposition rate, growth rate of coating layer, and cross-sectional microstructures were influenced by the species and additive amounts of activators and the additive amounts of pure aluminium powders. For low-activity process, Al deposition rate, growth rate of coating layer, and the cross-sectional microstructures were not influenced by the species but additive amounts of activators. Surface structures of coating layer were influenced by the species of activators. Regardless of aluminium activity, Al deposition rate was proportional to the square root of time and parabolic rate constants were different with the species of activators. The activation energy for deposition of aluminium was different with the species of activators for high-activity process. Regardless of the species of activators, the activation energy for deposition of aluminium was 12~14 Kcal/mole for low-activity process.

The automation and control of robotic welding process is a very complex assignment because the system is affected by a number of variables which are very difficult to determine or predict in practice. Not only the optimization of the robotic welding process is considered from the point of view of the time and the cost of manufacturing. as well as quality of the weldment. the human factors of the production and many other factors must taken into consideration. hi order to determine the optimal parameters of robotic welding process, it is necessary to build a computer model representing all parameters influencing the welding process as well as the mutual dependence between them. This paper presents an approach to modeling the robotic welding process in which all parameters affecting the welding process are included using a neural network. A detailed analysis of the simulation results has been carried out to evaluate the proposed neural network model.

We propose a mechanism for the formation of pinholes in the Si-buffer layer, through the observations with varying the process- and structure variables in the SEPOX (selective poly-oxidation) process, an isolation method for sub-u DRAMs. Pinholes are formed through the accumulation of Si vacancies generated by the oxidation of Si, in which Si atoms leave the sites (vacancies) at the Si/SiO$_{2}$ interfaces and diffuse into the oxide to be oxidized near interface. In the course of the accumulation of Si-vacancies, the stress induced in the Si-buffer layer affects the migration of vacancies to result in the final size and distribution of pinholes. This paper may be, to our knowledge, the first report about the oxidation-induced pinhole in the Si/SiO$_{2}$ system.

In the settlement analysis of shallow foundation soil properties, loads and soil strata involve many uncertainties so it is necessary to do analysis of settlement that considers the probabilistic properties of each variable. This study is performed to probabilistic analysis for settlement of shallow foundation consisted of individual footings by using Monte Carlo Method. To consider the uncertainty of variables, both the soil properties and loads are assumed to be normal distribution random variables and get settlement mean and coefficient of variation of individual footing. And the settlement of each individual footing is also assumed to be normal distribution. Settlement of each individual footing which considers the probability of soft soil pockets in soil strata follows Markov process. Then it is performed to do sensitivity analysis which is involved to excess probability of allowable criteria of maxi mum settlement and differential settlement according to varity of each variable. It is thought to be proper that the settlement analysis of shallow foundation should be analyzed considering uncertainty of variables and soil stratum conditions.

The mono steel forged piston was improved a mechanical strength of an aluminum piston and reduced the weight of a articulated piston. The mono steel forged piston was composed of forged crown part and forged skirt part and was completed by friction welding process of two forged parts. Forging process analysis and friction welding analysis was done by finite element simulation using numerical package DEFORM. The preform shape and the initial billet dimension were decided by maximum stress of the die, amount of the flash and filling of die. The upset length of friction welding variable was decided by the shape of the flash that was created by friction welding analysis. Through this research, we developed a forging process of the mono steel forged piston, and decided the design variables of friction welding.

Microwave-assisted process (MAP) was applied to extract antioxidant-related components from Thymus quinquecostatus var. japonica Hara. Microwave power(2,450 MHz, $0{\sim}160$ W) and extraction time($1{\sim}5\;min$) were used as independent variables($X_i$) for central composite design to yield 10 different extraction conditions. Response surface methodology was applied to predict optimum extraction conditions for dependent variables of extracts, such as total yield, total phenolics, flavonoid, and electron donation ability depending on different powers and extraction times of MAP. Determination coefficients($R^2$) of regression equations for dependent variables were higher than 0.93 excluding that of total phenolics, and microwave power was predicted more influential than extraction time in MAP (p<0.05). The optimal extraction time for each dependent variable was ranged from 3.36 to 4.97 min, but microwave power showed wide ranges depending on variables. The superimposed contour maps for maximized dependent variables illustrated extraction conditions of 64 to 100 W in microwave power and 2.9 to 4.0 min in extraction time.

The fabrication process of $Al_2O_{3p}/Al$ composite by in-situ process was investigated. The effects of processing variables such as addition type and content of Mg, processing temperature and time on the infiltration behavior of molten Al, microstructure and hardness were investigated. When the pure Al was infiltrated into mixtures of Mg and $Al_2O_3l$ powder, processing temperature required to spontaneous infiltration was decreased, and the content of Mg was the most powerful variable for infiltration of molten Al. But when the Al-Mg alloy was infiltrated into $Al_2O_3l$ particles, infiltration ratio indicated nearly same value regardless of Mg content in alloy and processing temperature, and critical processing temperature required to spontaneous infiltration was $800^{\circ}C$. The $Al_2O_{3p}/Al$ composites which were fabricated by mixtures of Mg and $Al_2O_3l$ powders resulted in high hardness value, but hardness values were scattered due to non uniform dispersion of $Al_2O_3l$ particles by excessive reaction of Mg.

Monodisperse, spherical $SiO_2/TiO_2$ composite fine powders were prepared by modified Sol-Gel process which $TiO_2$ fine Powders was used as a seed particles for condensation of TEOS (Tetraethyl Orthosilicate). The reaction was carried out under $N_2$ atmosphere at ambient temperature using $NH_3$ as a catalyst. Ethanol was used as a solvent. Drying process was carried out with vacuum trap which cooled by liquid $N_2$. The reaction variables were the concentration of TEOS, the concentration of ammonia, the size of $TiO_2$ seed and molar ratio of $SiO_2/TiO_2$. The optimum condition for the preparation of $SiO_2/TiO_2$ composite fine powders without agglomeration was [TEOS]=0.3M, [$NH_3$]=0.7M, size of $SiO_2/TiO_2$ seed = 200~300nm.

A scaling up study for the exopolysaccharide (EPS) production by submerged culture of Ganoderma lucidum was carried out in jar fermenter systems (2.6, 20 and 75 L) under bi-staged pH process. Profiles of dissolved oxygen (DO) and volumetric coefficient of oxygen transfer ($k_La$) as a function of operating variables (agitation speed and aeration rate) was investigated, and a correlation between $k_La$ and operating variables was analysed statistically. Under bi-staged pH process, no limitation of DO was observed at agitation speeds tested in the range of 200 and 600 rpm, and the highest EPS production was obtained at the level of DO of $40{\sim}80%$. From the regression analysis, the relation between $k_La$, gas velocity (Vs), stirrer speed (N) and impeller diameter (Di) could be expressed as : $$k_La=0.555{\times}Vs^{0.42}{\times}(N^3{\times}Di^2)^{0.33}\;(R^2=0.925,\;p<0.05)$$ It was found that under 2.6 L jar fermenter, the optimum agitation speed and aeration rate was 400 rpm and 1 vvm, respectively, obtaining the EPS production of 15.43 g/L. Under the submerged cultivation of G. lucidum in jar fermenters of $2.6{\sim}75\;L$, the similar EPS yields at each fermenter were achieved during scaling up based on $k_La$, and $k_La$ value for maximum EPS production was $85.4{\pm}26.70\;h^{-1}$.
