Recently, STS 301L joints of side panels to frames for stainless steel rolling stock have been made out by using existing welding methods including Resistance Spot Welding, Laser Welding and Arc Welding. Most of the processes were jointed by spot welding because it is faster at welding and comparatively less expensive for investment in welding facilities than other methods. During spot welding, however, indentation of the metal surface was made due to pressure and melting property of welding. Moreover, since the melting metal was forced to periphery of the plate as indentation was made, sheet separation, which cracked apart between jointed sheets, was carried out. A slight deformation which resulted from sheet separation deteriorated the emotional quality of railway vehicles. This paper suggests that by processing conventional spot electrode tip appropriately, melting metal is able to push up around the processed part (Hollow Spot Electrode Tip) and prevent from being dislodged from first place to periphery. Consequently, sheet separation is remarkably decreased. Also, the emotional quality of appearance of stainless steel rolling stock is enhanced considerably.

Stretchable and flexible electronics that comply with dynamic movements and micromotion of the human tissues can enable real-time monitoring of physiologic signals onto the human skin and in the brain, respectively. Especially, gallium based liquid metal stretchable electronics can offer human-interactive biosensors to monitor various physiologic parameters. However, the liquid-like nature, surface oxidation and contamination by organic materials, and low biostability of the liquid metals have still limited the long-term use as bioelectronics. Here we introduced electrochemical deposition without oxidation pathways to overcome these practical challenges in liquid metal bioelectronics. CNT/PDDA composite with reduction way and PEDOT:BF₄ with oxidation way under organic solvent are suggested as rationally designed material engineering approaches. We confirmed that the structures with the soft, flexible, and stretchable liquid metal platform can successfully detect dopamine with a high sensitivity and selectivity, record neural signals including action potentials without scar formation, and monitor physiologic signals such as EMG and ECG.

Vanadium dioxide (VO2) is a strongly correlated oxide exhibiting a first-order metal-insulator transition (MIT) that is accompanied by a structural phase transition from a low temperature monoclinic phase to a high-temperature rutile phase. VO2 has attracted significant attention because of a variety of possible applications based on its ultrafast MIT. Interestingly, the transition nature of VO2 is significantly affected by stress due to doping and/or interaction with a substrate and/or surface tension as well as defects. Accordingly, there have been considerable efforts to understand the influences of such factors on the phase transition and the fundamental mechanisms behind the MIT behavior. Here, we present the influences of oxygen deficiency, hydrogen doping, and substrate-induced stress on MIT phenomena in single-crystalline VO2 nanobeams. Specifically, the work function and the electrical resistance of the VO2 nanobeams change with the compositional variation due to the oxygen-deficiency-related defects. In addition, the VO2 nanobeams during exposure to hydrogen gas exhibit the reduction of transition temperature and the complex phase inhomogenieties arising from both substrate-induced stress and the formation of the hydrogen doping-induced metallic rutile phase.

미생물학적 황산염 환원은 황산염을 전자수용체로 이용하는 황산염 환원 박테리아에 의해 황산염이 황화이온으로 변환되는 과정이다. 형성된 황화이온은 주변의 용존 금속 이온과 결합하여 용해도가 낮은 금속 황화물로 침전된다. 이 연구에서는 비소와 중금속으로 오염된 송천 금은광산 일대 토양을 대상으로 하여 토착 박테리아에 의한 황산염 환원을 유도함으로써 독성 원소의 원위치 고정화 기술의 효율성을 평가하였다. 왕수 분해 결과, 대상 토양 내 비소, 구리, 납의 함량은 각각 1,311 mg/kg, 146 mg/kg, 294 mg/kg 등으로 나타나 특히 비소의 오염이 심각한 상태였다. 회분식 실험 결과, 미생물학적 황산염 환원에 의하여 pH 증가, 산화환원전위 감소, 황산염 함량 감소, 비소와 구리 함량 감소 등이 관찰되었다. 이 때 가장 높은 중금속 침전 효율을 유도하는 탄소원과 황산염의 농도 범위는 각각 0.2~0.5%, 100~200 mg/L로 나타났다. 미생물학적 또는 화학적으로 황화물 침전을 유도하게 고안된 컬럼 실험 수행 결과, 비소와 구리는 두 컬럼에서 모두 98% 이상 제거되었다. 그러나 산소를 다량 포함한 용액을 주입한 후, 화학적으로 황화물 침전을 유도한 컬럼에서는 즉각적인 비소와 구리의 재용출 현상이 나타났으나, 미생물학적 황산염 환원을 유도한 컬럼에서는 침전물이 30일 이상 장기간 안정성을 보였다. 미생물학적 컬럼 내에 형성된 검은색 침전물을 분석한 결과 FeS와 CuS로 나타났으며 비소는 대부분 철 황화물에 흡착되어 있는 것으로 확인되었다.

The water soluble redox polymer, poly(N-vinylimidazole) complexed with Os(4,4'-dichloro-2,2'-bipyridine)$_2Cl]^+$ (PVI-[Os(dCl-bpy)$_2Cl]^+$), was electrodeposited on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode by applying cycles of alternating square wave potentials between 0.2 V (2 s) and 0.7 V (2 s) to the electrode in a solution containing the redox polymer. The coordinating anionic ligand, $Cl^-$ of the osmium complex, became labile in the reduced state of the complex and was substituted by the imidazole of the PVI chain. The ligand substitution reactions resulted in crosslinking between the PVI chains, which made the redox polymer water insoluble and caused it to be deposited on the electrode surface. The deposited film was still electrically conducting and the continuous electrodeposition of the redox polymer was possible. When cycles of square wave potentials were applied to the electrode in a solution of bilirubin oxidase and the redox polymer, the enzyme was co-electrodeposited with the redox polymer, because the enzymes could be bound to the metal complexes through the ligand exchange reactions. The electrode with the film of the PVI-[Os(dCl-bpy)$_2Cl]^+$ redox polymer and the co-electrodeposited bilirubin oxidase was employed for the reduction of $O_2$ and a large increase of the currents was observed due to the electrocatalytic $O_2$ reduction with a half wave potential at 0.42 V vs. Ag/AgCl.

우라늄 산화물의 금속전환을 위해 고온 용융염 중에서 전기화학적 환원공정에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 본 공정은 우라늄 산화물뿐만 아니라 다른 악틴족 원소 산화물 및 일부 희토류원소 산화물 역시 금속으로 환원되는 장점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 금속산화물들은 독창적으로 고안된 일체형 음극 및 불활성 양극을 이용하여 금속으로 환원되며, 음극에서 발생된 산소 이온은 양극으로 전달되어 산화됨으로서 산소기체를 발생시킨다. 용융염 중에서 알칼리 및 알칼리토류 산화물에 대한 전기화학적 거동은 아직 완전히 밝혀지지 않았으며, 후행핵연료주기의 단위공정으로서 개발중에 있다. 사용후핵연료의 열 부하는 주로 세슘 및 스트론슘에 의한 것으로, LiC1 용융염 중에서 세슘, 스트론슘 및 바륨 산화물에 대한 용해 속도 및 환원전위를 고찰하였다.

The effects of coating of 3$\mu\textrm{m}$ thickness on the mechanical property of alumina after heat treatment at 100$0^{\circ}C$ for 30minutes under $10^{-6}$torr vacuum was quantified in terms of modulus of rupture(MOR) using Weibull plot. While the copper coating did not change MOR of alumina due to the nonwetting behavior of Cu on $Al_2O_3$, the reactive titanium metal coating caused a noticeable 29% reduction in averaged MOr strength. This was related with the combined effects of microcracks in coating formed during heat treatment and good bonding character between Ti and $Al_2O_3$. The effect of cosputtering of Ti and Cu, bilayer coatings of Cu/Ti and Ti/Cu were also investigated. It was found that Ti, cosputtered, Cu/ti and Ti/Cu coatings reduced MOR strength of alumina in the order listed. This was correlated with the amount of Ti at coating/alumina inter-face associated with a coated layer or segregation of Ti during heat treatment.

An experimental programme was established to determine the wear behaviour of TiN coatings of thickness 1 $\mu$m and 3 $\mu$m. by PECVD with the variation of applied load, sliding velocity and sliding distance. It was shown that oxidation of transferred metal as sliding speed increased formed oxide film so that it contributed in decreasing the wear rate. With the roller-on-disc tribometer employed, the wear rate of the roller specimen was decreased with the increase in sliding distance due to the reduction in effective contact pressure. Finally, the severe cracks concentrated at the trailing edge of contact surface were explained in terms of high tensile stress prevailing at the trailing edge of the contact and were identified as a dominant wear mechanism as well as the strong local welding between coating layer and the counter surface, leading to the debonding of the coating layer.

An attempt was made to reduce directly Nd2O3 in a cryolited based fluoride bath. Neodymium metal was electrodeposited on the iron cathode to produce the Fe-Nd eutectic alloy in a liquid state at 90$0^{\circ}C$. Graphite was adopted for the anode and pure iron for the cathode. Electrolyte was composed of Na3AlF6 50wt.%. AlF3 34wt.% and Nd2O3 16wt.%. Analysis of typical alloy product showed Al 63.4wt.% Fe 26.9wt.% and Nd 7.0 wt.% The enrichment of neodymium in the alloy couldn't be obtained because aluminum codeposited with ne-odydmium. Experimental results proved that the cryolited based electrolyte was unstable for the electrolysis of rare earth oxides even though their prominent solubilities.
