Pyroprocessing uses various molten salts during electrochemical unit processes. Reaction products after the electrochemical processes must contain a significant amount of residual salts to be separated. Vacuum distillation is a common method to separate the residual salts; however, its high operation temperature may cause side reactions. In this study, a simple rotation technique using centrifugal force was suggested to separate the residual salts from the reaction products at relatively low temperature compared to the distillation technique. When a reaction product container with porous wall rotates inside a vessel heated above the melting point of the residual salt, the residual salt in the liquid phase is separated through centrifugal force. It was shown that the $LiNO_3-Al_2O_3$ mixture can be separated by this technique to leave solid $Al_2O_3$ inside the container, with a separation efficiency of 99.4%.

The recycled washwater, which has different water quality and is produced about 5 to 20% of the total water volume treated, affects the unit operation of water treatment, especially coagulation process. However, the effects of recycled washwater on unit operation of water treatment have not been fully investigated. In this study, effects of recycled washwater on coagulation process were investigated to find the optimum coagulation condition by analyzing turbidity, $UV_{254}$, TOC removal efficiencies. In addition, effects of recycled washwater on residual Al after coagulation were studied by analyzing soluble and particulate Al. The size distribution and fractal dimension of coagulated also analyzed. The recycled washwater was lower pH than the raw water. And the recycled washwater had higher $UV_{254}$, TOC and residual Al concentration than the raw water. Residual Al concentration of recycled washwater was about 50 times higher than that of raw water. Optimum coagulant dosages on the blending recycled washwater and the raw water for turbidity, $UV_{254}$ and Al removal were lower than that on the raw water. However, TOC removal increased by increasing coagulant dosage. The size and fractal dimension of coagulated particle produced in the blending recycled washwater were larger, which imply faster settling velocity, than those produced in the raw water only.

The paper presents the comparative results of TiAlN coatings deposited by DC and pulsed DC asymmetric bipolar magnetron sputtering systems. The results show that, with the decreasing duty cycle and increasing pulse frequency, the coating morphology changes from a columnar to a dense structure, with finer grains. Pulsed sputtered TiAlN coatings showed higher hardness, higher residual stress, and smaller grain sizes than dc prepared TiAlN coatings. Moreover residual stress of pulsed sputtered TiAlN coatings increased on increasing pulse frequency. Meanwhile, the surface roughness decreased continuously with increasing pulsed DC frequency up to 50 kHz.

This paper investigates the effect of prolonged high temperature exposure on concentric laminated $Al_2O_3-ZrO_2$ composites. An ultrafine scale microstructure with a cellular 7 layer concentric lamination with unidirectional alignment was fabricated by a multi-pass extrusion method. Each laminate in the microstructure was $2-3{\mu}m$ thick. An alternate lamina was composed of 75%$Al_2O_3$-(25%m-$ZrO_2$) and t-$ZrO_2$ ceramics. The composite was sintered at $1500^{\circ}C$ and subjected to $1450^{\circ}C$ temperature for 24 hours to 72 hours. We investigated the effect of long time high temperature exposure on the generation of residual stress and grain growth and their effect on the overall stability of the composites. The residual stress development and its subsequent effect on the microstructure with the edge cracking behavior mechanism were investigated. The residual stress in the concentric laminated microstructure causes extensive micro cracks in the t-$ZrO_2$ layer, despite the very thin laminate thickness. The material properties like Vickers hardness and fracture toughness were measured and evaluated along with the microstructure of the composites with prolonged high temperature exposure.

This paper presents the effects of pulse plasma parameters such as duty cycle and pulse frequency on the properties of TiAlN coatings deposited by asymmetric bipolar pulsed DC magnetron sputtering systems. The results show that, with decreasing duty cycle and increasing pulse frequency, the coating morphology changes from a columnar structure to a dense structure with finer grains. Pulsed sputtered TiAlN coatings showed higher hardness, higher residual stress, and smaller grain sizes than did DC prepared TiAlN coatings. Moreover, residual stress and nanoindentation hardness of pulsed sputtered TiAlN coatings increased with increasing pulse frequency. Meanwhile, the surface roughness decreased continuously with increasing pulsed DC frequency up to 50 kHz.

본 연구의 목적은 극저온 열처리를 통해 Al6061 의 열처리 잔류응력을 제거하는 것이다. 이를 위해 유한요소해석을 이용하여 열처리 잔류응력을 예측하였으며, 열처리 조건에 따른 각 단계별 대류 열전달계수를 T6 와 극저온 열처리 실험을 수행하여 결정하였다. 예측된 잔류응력 결과는 X 선회절법(XRD)으로 측정된 잔류응력 결과와 비교하여 유한요소해석 결과의 타당성을 확인하였다. 또한 T6 와 극저온 열처리에 대해 각각 전기 전도도와 경도를 측정하여 기계적 특성을 평가하고 TEM 관찰과 XRD 회절 분석을 통해 석출물의 크기 및 성분을 파악하였다. 이를 통해 Al6061 의 T6 열처리와 비교하여 극저온 열처리를 적용함에 따른 잔류응력, 기계적 특성 및 미세조직변화를 조사하였다.

본 논문은 항공기 구조물의 체결용 홀(hole)을 냉간가공(cold working)할때 홀주변에 생성되는 잔류응력이 균열발생 수명과 균열성장에 미치는 영향을 연구한 내용이다. 항공기용 재료로 많이 사용되는 AL7075-T6 및 AL2024-T3 시편으로 측정된 계수를 Morrow의 수명예측식에 적용하여 수정된 냉간가공(cold working)에 관한 수명예측식을 제안하였다. 수정된 계산식으로 얻어진 수명예측값과 실험에 의하여 이미 알려진 값이 비교적 일치함을 보여 이러한 재료에 대하여 수명예측이 가능함을 보였다. 균열성장 예측을 위해 역시 AL7075-T6 재료에 대하여 가중함수(weight function)방법으로 잔류응력 세기계수를 구하여 Forman의 균열성장 예측식을 수정하여 계산 한 결과 이 또한 알려진 실험값과 거의 일치함을 보여 실험에 사용한 재료의 구조물 해석에 유용 할 것으로 보인다. 본 연구는 항공기용 구조물의 홀주변을 냉간가공 (cold working)할 때 생성되는 잔류응력의 영향을 연구하는 기초적인 단계 일 뿐이며, 향후 실제 정비현장에서 적용 할 수 있는 대상분야와 연구 방향에 대한 보다 심층적 연구가 필요함을 보인다.

Aluminum Resistance Spot Weld(Al RSW) is an enabling technology for body assembly of low mass fraction vehicles. Due to the unreliable durability of spot-welded joints, applications of Al RSW are limited. This study presents experimental investigation on the use of a post-weld cold working process to improve the fatigue strength of Al RSW. The post-weld cold working process includes special shaped indenters that are pressed or driven into the structure to induce compressive residual stresses. The mechanical properties of the post-weld cold worked Al RSW were investigated, including the experimental results of fatigue and micro-hardness tests. Comparisons of the mechanical properties and qualitative results between the as-welded RSW specimens and the post-weld cold worked RSW specimens are discussed. The post-weld cold worked Al RSW samples had an increase in both microhardness and fatigue life.

The sliding wear behavior of $Al_2O_3/NiCr$ coating deposited on steel(SM45C) was investigated under lubrication. The parameters of sliding wear are normal loads, coating thickness. As a result, the wear resistance of $Al_2O_3/NiCr$ coating was remarkably greater than that of $Al_2O_3$ coating. The optimized coating thickness was found to be $300{\mu}m$ to ensure good anti-wear. The bond coating played important role in decreasing residual stress. The residual stress had much influence on wear mechanism. These results were correlated with the stress state of coating and the microstructure of coating.

This paper reports the piezoelectric microspeakers that are audible in open air with high quality piezoelectric AlN thin film deposited onto Mo/Ti electrode. This successful achievement, compared to the previous results, is followed by manipulating two material properties: the one is to use a compressively stressed silicon nitride film as a supporting diaphragm (even tensile stressed, around +20 MPa) and the another is to use high quality AlN thin film with compressive residual stress (less than -100 MPa). With these materials, the Sound Pressure Level (SPL) of the fabricated micro speakers shows more than 60 dB from 100 Hz to 15 kHz and the highest SPL is about 100 dB at 9.3 kHz with 20 Vpeak-to-peak sinusoidal input and with 10 mm distances from the fabricated micro speakers to the reference microphone (B&K Type 2669 & 4192L).
