SCM 415 has been vacuum carburized in the carburizing pressure of 60-65kpa and the carburizing temperature of 1233k and 1273k after varied to 0-20 in the ratio of $N_2/C_3H_8$ and then diffusion treated for various times at 1123k. The results obtained from the experiment are as follows. 1. With increasing from 0 to 20 in ratio of $N_2/C_3H_8$ the sooting formation of surface after carburizing considerably decreased. 2. The hardness control and surface carbon content of carburizing surface has been modified by the addition of nitrogen to the propan. 3. The appoximate value of k is indirectry calculated at 1123k which results are obtained to $0.58{\times}10^{-2}(wt.%.S^{-1/2})$. 4. A great deal of propan by addition of nitrogen gas in carburizing gas was possible to saving without considerable change in case hardening depth. 5. The effective carburizing depth range is obtained to 0.8-1.1mm by diffusion temperature of 1123k after carburization at 1273k-3.6ks, and the surface hardness is increased as the increasing of $T_D/T_c$ in our experimental condition, and the maximum hardness as reachin distance from surface is decreased.

Force is a crucial element to be measured in various industries, especially the machine tool industry. Mega units of force are required in fields such as the heavy and ship industries. Micro/nano units of force are required for microparticles. The detection of force generates a physical transformation due to the force imposed from the outside, atlrnd electrical voltage signals are obtained from the system. For the detection of force, an octagonal ring load cell based on circular ring theory is designed and produced. To design the octagonal strain ring, theoretical values with data from the ANSYS program are compared to determine the size of the octagonal strain ring. An octagonal strain ring of the chosen size is made with the SCM415 material. The strain gauges are attached to the octagonal strain ring, designed to construct a full Wheatstone bridge. The LabVIEW program is used to measure the data, and strain values are found. With the octagonal ring load cell completed in this way, experiments are conducted by imposing forces on the tangential axis and radial axis. Experiments are performed to verify if the octagonal ring load cell conducts measurements properly, and theoretical values are analyzed to find any differences. The data will later be used in further research to develop a machine-tool dynamometer.

Elastic-plastic fracture toughness J$_{IC}$ can be used as an effective design criterion in elastic plastic fracture mechanics. In the J$_{IC}$ test methods approved by ASTM and JSME, there are discrepancies such as the definition of J$_{IC}$, the slope of the blunting line, curve fitting method and the measurement of crack extension etc. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the effect of these discrepancies on the determination of J$_{IC}$ values. Fracture toughness tests were performed on A516, SA508 and SCM415 steels, and test results were analyzed according to ASTM E 813-81, ASTM E 813-87 and JSME S 001-1981. Results showed significant differences depending on the analysis methods. Therefore, a conversion equation between two ASTM methods was proposed, and the conversion error was within acceptable range(less then 8.5%)en 8.5%)
