A scratch tester was developed to evaluate the adhesive strength at interface between thin film and substrate(silicon wafer). Under force control, the scratch tester can measure the normal and the horizontal forces simultaneously as the probe tip of the equipment approaches to the interface between thin film and substrate of wafer. The capacity of each component of force sensor is 0.1 N ∼ 100 N. In addition, the tester can detect the signal of elastic wave from AE sensor(frequency range of 900 kHz) attached to the probe tip and evaluate the bonding strength of interface. Using the developed scratch tester. the feasibility test was performed to evaluate the adhesive strength of semiconductor wafer.

A scratch tester was developed to evaluate the adhesive strength at interface between thin-film and substrate(silicon wafer). Under force control, the scratch tester can measure the normal and the tangential forces simultaneously as the probe tip of the equipment approaches to the interface between thin-film and substrate of wafer. The capacity of each component of force sensor is 0.1 N ${\sim}$ 100 N. In addition, the tester can detect the signal of elastic wave from AE sensor(frequency range of 900 kHz) attached to the probe tip and evaluate the bonding strength of interface. Using the developed scratch tester, the feasibility test was performed to evaluate the adhesive strength of thin-film.

In this study, an ultrasonic nanocrystal surface modification (UNSM) was used to improve the mechanical properties, scratch resistance and tribological performance of Cu-based bimetals, which are usually used to manufacture sliding bearings and bushings for internal combustion engines (ICEs). Two different Cu-based bimetals, namely CuPb10Sn10 and CuSn10Bi7, were sintered onto a low carbon steel substrate. The mechanical properties and dry tribological performance using a tensile tester and micro-tribo tester were evaluated, respectively. The scratch resistance was assessed using a micro-scratch tester at an incremental load. The tensile test results showed that the yield strength (YS) and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of both Cu-based bimetals increased after UNSM. Furthermore, the scratch and tribological tests results revealed that the scratch resistance and tribological performance of both Cu-based bimetals were improved by the application of UNSM. These improvements were mainly attributed to the eliminated pores, increased hardness and reduced roughness after UNSM. CuSn10Bi7 demonstrated better mechanical properties, scratch resistance and tribological performance than CuPb10Sn10. It was found that the presence of Bi in CuSn10Bi7 formed a Cu₁₁Bi₇ intermetallic phase, which is harder than Cu₃Sn. Hence, CuSn10Bi7 demonstrated higher strength and wear resistance than CuPb10Sn10. In addition, a CuSn10Bi7 formed both SnO₂ and Bi₂O₃ that prevented adhesion and improved the tribological performance. It can be expected that under dry tribological conditions, ICEs can utilize UNSM bearings and bushings made of CuSn10Bi7 instead of CuPb10Sn10 under oil-lubricated conditions.

In order to get the surface characteristics of the HDI of HDD, the surface damage mechanisms must be totally understood. Particle contamination in hard disk drives is a big concern in today's magnetic recording industry since they are major sources of reliability problems. Namely upon contact with the slider or a contaminant particle, the disk may be scratched or the particles may be embedded into the disk surface. In this work, comparison of scratches was made between those found on actual hard disks and those created using a scratch tester. It was found that ramp loading method is an effective way to make similar scratches as the actual ones. From the ramp loading condition, the relationship between the pressure and the scratch track width could be identified.

In this work, ramp loading scratch method was used to evaluate the scratch characteristics of HDD media and ZnO thin films. Commercially available HDD media and ZnO thin films grown on silicon(100) substrate by sol-gel method were used. As for the ZnO films, the effects of annealing temperature after the film deposition process were also investigated. A custom built scratch tester was used to scratch the specimen under a ramp loading condition. The scratch track formed by ramp loading was measured by optical microscope and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). The wear depth and width were used to assess the scratch characteristics of the HDD Media and ZnO thin films. The results showed that ZnO film annealed at $800^{\circ}C$ had the best scratch resistance property. Also, the HDD media showed overall better scratch resistance than the ZnO films.

Purpose: This study was performed to investigate processability of the dental zirconia block. Most of the CAD/CAM zirconia restorations utilize the partially sintered blocks, which are sintered at a temperature lower than $1100^{\circ}C$. Methods: Partially sintered zirconia samples were prepared $40{\times}30{\times}10mm$ and surface treatment by #2000 sandpaper. Scratch hardness was determined by the procedure of ASTM G171-03 using a scratch hardness tester(KS TECH, Korea) equipped with a real time load detector to measure tangential force during scratching. The scratch rate was 30 mm/min. Results: Scratch hardness(Hs) increases steeply with increase in the loads. The highest Hs was sampl 1.42 GPa and lowest was sample 0.42 GPa. Conclusion : The machinability of partially sintered CAD/CAM zirconia blocks can be optivized by manipulation of Hs.

In this study, we developed a new carrier finger to prevent scratches in a sheet metal forming line. The developed carrier finger was designed to have a streamlined shape with a larger radius of curvature at the edges, as well as a smaller contact area. To evaluate the scratch alleviation effect, a sliding contact analysis and scratch test using the pin on a plate wear tester were conducted for both the old and new carrier fingers. The results show that, for both transverse and longitudinal movements of the strip, the newly designed carrier finger reduces both the friction and scratch depth by its streamlined shape, which decreases the pressure spike at the edge.

Friction and wear behavior of MoS$_{2}$ bonded films were evaluated at a Block-on-Ring typed tribo-tester, and their properties were compared with those of Falex tester in terms of the wear life of the films. Test results showed that friction and wear properties were significantly affected by the test methods of different contact configuration, and the wear life at a Block-on-Ring type tribo-tester was mostly governed by the resin binder. To obtain long wear life of the films, various combinations of solid-resin-content ratio and chemical resin modification were attempted and evaluated. Adhesion properties of resin binders were also measured and compared by using a scratch tester.

To apply the wear resistant steel plate for heavy duty vehicle, the wear characterisms of various kinds of commercial steel plates were invesigated by dry sand/rubber wheel tester which was tested under scratch abrasion mode. The wear tested pnaterials were boron steels which were manufactured by thereto machanical control process (TMCP) in order to achieve higher hardness. As the result of the test, wear resistance of steel plate increases with the hardness and carbon content. The wear loss of wear resistance steel plate (Hv440) is a half times than tinat of SWS490A (Hv160) steel plate in dry sand-rubber wheel test and the result in field test is similar to this dry sand/rubber wheel test result. Therefore, dry sand/rubber wheel tester can be used to predict the scratch abrasion life of the parts for heavy duty vehicle.
