WC-( $Ti_{1-x}$ A $l_{x}$) N coatings of constant changing Al concentration were deposited on S45C substrates by high-ionization sputtered PVD method. The Al concentration could be controlled by using evaporation source for Al and fixing the evaporation rate of the metals (i.e, WC- $Ti_{0.86}$A $l_{0.14}$N, WC- $Ti_{0.72}$A $l_{0.28}$N, and WC- $Ti_{0.58}$A $l_{0.42}$N). The corrosion behavior of WC-( $Ti_{1-x}$ A $l_{x}$)N coatings in a deaerated 3.5% NaCl solution was investigated by electrochemical corrosion tests and surface analyses. The measured galvanic corrosion currents between coating and substrate indicated that WC- $Ti_{0.72}$A $l_{0.28}$N coating showed the best resistance of the coating tested. The results of potentiodynamic polarization tests showed that the WC- $Ti_{0.72}$A $l_{0.28}$N coating deposited with 32W/c $m^2$ of Al target revealed higher corrosion resistance. This indicated that the WC- $Ti_{0.72}$A $l_{0.28}$N coating is effective in improving corrosion resistance. In EIS, the WC- $Ti_{0.72}$A $l_{0.28}$N coating showed one time constant loop and increased a polarization resistance of coating ( $R_{coat}$) relative to other samples. Compositional variations of WC-( $Ti_{1-x}$ A $l_{x}$)N coatings were analyzed by EDS and XRD analysis was performed to evaluate the crystal structure and compounds formation behavior. Surface morphologies of the films were observed using SEM and AFM. Scratch test was performed to measure film adhesion strength.strength. adhesion strength.strength.

Background: Talin-1 is a cytoskeleton protein that participates in cell migration and plays a role in tumor formation, migration, and metastasis in different types of cancer. Chinese investigators have observed that the levels of Talin-1 protein and mRNA expression in HCC tissues are significantly lower than in the adjacent non-cancerous tissue. However, Japanese investigators have reported that Talin-1 is upregulated in HCC. Tln2 as homologous gene of Tln-1, which encodes a very similar protein, but the role of Talin-2 is very little known in primary liver cancer (PLC). We investigated whether the expression of Talin-1 in PLC may be associated with the histological subtype as well as the role of Talin-1 in tumor cell invasion and migration using human hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines. Materials and Methods: We measured the mRNA expression levels of Talin-1 and Talin-2 in five human liver cancer cell lines and normal human liver cell ($LO_2$ cell line) by real-time PCR and the protein expression levels of Talin-1 by Western blot. Migration and invasion of the cells were assessed using transwell assays and cell scratch experiments, respectively, and proliferation was assessed by soft AGAR colony formation. Results: Talin-1 and Talin-2 expression differed significantly between the five human liver cancer cell lines and $LO_2$ cell line (p<0.05). Compared with the $LO_2$ cell line, the invasion and migration capabilities of the five cancer cell lines differed significantly (p<0.05). Similarly, the colony-forming ability differed (p<0.05). Conclusions: High levels of Talin-1 expression are correlated with reduced invasion and migration as well as decreased malignancy in human liver cancer cell lines; the suppression of Talin-1 promotes invasion and migration. In addition, Talin-2 may be correlated with invasion and migration in human hepatocellular carcinoma.

Over the last years the anodic formation of ordered $TiO_2$ nanotube layers has created significant scientific interest. Titanium oxide nanotube formation on the titanium or titanium alloy surface is expected to be important to improve cell adhesion and proliferation under clinical conditions. It should be possible to control the nanotube size and morphology for biomedical implant use by controlling the applied voltage, alloying element, current density, anodization time, and electrolyte. $TiO_2$ nanotubes show excellent biocompatibility, and the open volume in the tubes may be exploited as a drug release platform and so on. Therefore, in this study, Nanotube shape on the Ti-29Nb-xHf alloys with applied potentials was reserched. $TiO_2$ nanotube formation on Ti-29Nb-xHf alloys was carried out using anodization technique as a function of applied DC potential (10 V to 30 V and 30 V to 10 V) and anodization time for 60~120 min in $1MH_3PO_4$ with small additions of (0.8 wt. %, to 1.2 wt. %) NaF. The morphology change of anodized Ti-29Nb-xHf alloys was determined by FE-SEM, XRD, and EDS.

In-plane tension fatigue tests(R=0.1) were carried out to investigate the initiation and growth behaviors of very small surface fatigue cracks on smooth unnotched surfaces of type 304 stainless steel at room temperature. The present paper deals with the unification of two approaches to the analysis of fatigue: the one approach is based on fracture mechanics concept and the other on low-cycle fatigue concept. The results are;(1)Maximum crack length, 2 $a_{max}$, initiated at a very small surface scratch not exceeding 20 .mu.m which can exist on the surface after buffing. And the density of small surface crack is remarkably low compared to that of mild steel. (2) The growth rate, d(2a)/dN, of very small fatigue cracks can be represented by one straight line as a function of either stress intensity factor range, .DELTA. $K_{I}$ or cyclic total strain intensity factor range, .DELTA. $K_{\epsilon}$$_{I}$/, for various values of the nominal stress range.e.e.e.e.

초경합금 위에 RF Magnetron Sputter를 이용하여 Ti 중간층을 증착 후 MPECVD(Microwave Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) 시스템을 이용하여 나노결정 다이아몬드 박막을 증착 하였다. 공정압력, 마이크로웨이브 전력, Ar/$CH_4$ 조성비, 기판온도를 일정하게 놓고 직류 bias의 인가 여부를 변수로 하고 증착시간을 0.5, 1, 2시간으로 변화시켜 박막을 제작하였다. 제작된 시편은 FE-SEM과 AFM을 이용하여 다이아몬드 박막의 표면과 다이아몬드 박막의 표면 거칠기 등을 측정하였고, Raman spectroscopy와 XRD를 이용하여 다이아몬드 결정성을 확인하였다. Automatic Scratch �岵謙�ter를 이용하여 복합박막의 층별 접합력을 측정하였다. 바이어스를 인가하지 않고 다이아몬드 박막을 증착할 경우 증착 시간이 증가할수록 다이아몬드 입자의 평균 크기가 증가하며 입자들이 차지하는 면적이 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 그러나 1시간이 경과해도 아직 완전한 박막은 형성되지 못하고 2시간 이상 증착 시 완전한 박막을 이루는 것이 확인되었다. 이에 비해서 바이어스 전압을 인가할 경우 1시간 내에 완전한 박막을 이루었다. 표면 거칠기는 바이어스를 인가한 경우가 그렇지 않은 경우에 비해서 조금 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 바이어스 효과는 표면에서의 핵생성 밀도 증가와 재핵생성 속도 증가에 기인하는 것으로 해석된다.

($Ti_{1-x}$ $Cr_{x}$ )N coatings were deposited by an ion-plating method in a reactor with two separate metal sources, Ti and Cr. Ti was evaporated using an electron beam, while Cr evaporation was carried out by resistant heating. The Ti and Cr concentrations in the coatings were controlled by the Ti and Cr evaporation ratio. The coating hardness increased with increasing the Cr content(x) and showed a maximum value of 6,000 HK at around x=0.8. The critical load of the coatings, measured by the scratch test, was around 30 N. The wear resistance properties of the ($Ti_{1-x}$$Cr_{ x}$)N coatings were evaluated using a CSEM pin-on-disk type tribometer. A Cr-steel ball as well as a SiC ball, which had hardness values of 590 HK and 2,600 HK respectively, were used as the pin. After the wear test, the surface morphology, roughness and the concentration of the coatings were investigated, with the main focus being on the effect of wear debris and the transferred layer on the wear behavior.
