This paper reports a simple, yet effective 1-step surface modification method for stainless steel. Electrochemical etching in dilute Aqua Regia forms hierarchical micro and nanoscale structure on the surface. The surface becomes highly hydrophobic (${\sim}150^{\circ}$) as a result of the etching in terms of static contact angle (CA). However the liquid drops easily pinned on the surface because of high contact angle hysteresis (CAH), which is called a "petal effect": The petal effect occur because of gap between surface microstructures, despite of intrinsic hydrophobicity of the base material. The pore size and period of surface structure can be controlled by applied voltage during the etching. This method can be applied to wide variety of industrial demand for surface modification, while maintaining the advantageous anti-corrosion property of stainless steel.

In this study, some considerations have been suggested in developing on-site techniques to evaluate the sensitization of stainless steels. Electrochemical potentiokinetic reactivation (EPR) technique is known to be a candidate tool for field applications since it enables quantitative assessment in reasonable test time, compared to oxalic etching (ditch) technique. The on-site application of the test method imposes additional restrictions on the selection of the test method (for example, minimum surface preparation requirement, insensitivity to testing temperature, etc.). The EPR and etching techniques have been compared in order to sensitization of stainless steel structures. It has been widely reported that the maximum sensitivity in the welded structure of stainless steel is shown at heat-affected zone (HAZ) than weldments with cast structure. In this work, sectioned weldments and external surfaces were investigated to reveal the degree of sensitization by the etching and the results were compared with those of EPR test. The EPR test showed little sensitivity to surface roughness and test temperature.

강 중 석출물을 추출분리한 후 이를 정량분석하는 것을 목적으로 개발된 정전위 전해법을 304 스테인레스 판재 및 선재 제조시에 발생한 결함 원인 분석에 활용하여 시료의 조직을 관찰하였으며, 결함 원인을 조사하였다. 스테인레스 선재 및 판재의 균열 전파 양상은 정전위 전해법을 이용하여 에칭한 후 주사전자현미경으로 관찰하였고, 입계를 따라서 존재하는 조대한 석출물은 EDS 및 EPMA를 이용하여 성분분석을 행하였다. 이들 조대한 석출물의 구조분석은 X-선 회절 패턴을 이용하여 행하였다. 판재 및 선재 두 경우 모두 균열은 입계를 따라서 전파하고 있었으며, 입계에는 $M_{23}(C,\;B)_6$ 이외에 조대한 $M_2C$ 석출물이 존재하는 것으로 확인되었다. 이들 석출물들의 분석에 정전위 전해에칭법을 이용함으로써 양호한 시료를 얻을 수 있었다.

염화제이철 수용액에 의한 스테인레스 강판의 식각반응에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 식각액 교반속도, 식각온도, $Fe^{3+}$ 이온 농도, 식각액의 유리산도 및 비중 등 여러 공정변수가 식각속도에 미치는 영향에 대해 조사하였고, 그 결과, AK(aluminum-killed) 철, 크롬(chlomium) 강, 그리고 스테인레스 강(STS430J1L 합금)의 식각반응이 1차 반응식을 잘 따름을 알 수 있었다. 또한 식각액의 피로도(fatigue ratio)가 16% 이하로 유지되면 식각액 내에 슬러지가 발생하지 않으며, 식각된 강판의 표면거칠기 또한 좋아짐을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 조사한 범위 내에서는, 식각액의 보메(Baume)가 증가하면 식각속도는 감소하나 유리산도가 식각속도에 미치는 영향은 미비함을 알 수 있었다. 한편 본 연구의 실험결과는 공정모델링을 통해 유도된 식각속도식의 계산결과와 잘 일치함을 알 수 있었다.

The mechanical etching technique has recently been developed to a powder blasting technique for various materials, capable of producing micro structures larger than 100$\mu$ m. This paper describes the performance of powder blasting technique in micro-pocketing of stainless steel and the effect of the number of nozzle scanning and the nozzle height on the depth and width of pockets. Experimental results showed that increasing the no. of nozzle scanning and decreasing the nozzle height resulted in the increase of depth and width in pockets. Increase of width results from wear of mask film.

To overcome the undesirable deformation, peeling off and geometrical restrictions which were mainly caused by differences in thermal expansion coefficients during the cladding of aluminum strip and stainless strip, new processing method based on vacuum die casting is designed and implemented in fabricating Al/Fe-17wt%Cr steel(stainless steel). To increase cast-bonding ability, the surface of Fe-17wt%Cr steel is electrochemically etched to have optimum pit size and density. The optimum conditions to generate best pit are as follows: Solution: 1 M $Fecl_{3}$+1 M Nacl, Addition: $CuCl_{2}+HCl$, Current density: 80 $mA/cm^{2}$, Total current: 400 $coulomb/cm^{2}$, AC frequency :60 Hz.

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the impact of surface roughness on the friction and wear properties of SUS 321, an austenitic stainless steel variant produced using the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) technique, which is a prevalent additive manufacturing method. After the LPBF fabrication, the specimens go a heat treatment process aimed at alleviating residual stress. Subsequently, they are polished extensively to achieve a refined and smooth surface. To deliberately introduce controlled variations in surface roughness, an etching process is employed. This multi-step method encompassed primary etching in a 3M hydrochloric acid solution, followed by secondary etching in a 35 wt% ferric chloride solution, with varying durations applied to different specimens. A comprehensive evaluation of the surface characteristics ensued, employing precise techniques such as surface roughness measurements and meticulous assessments of water droplet contact angles. Following the surface treatment procedures, a series of friction tests are performed to explore the tribological behavior of the etched specimens. This in-depth investigation reached its peak by revealing valuable insights. It clarified a strong correlation between intentionally altered surface roughness, achieved through etching processes, and the resulting tribological performance of LPBF-fabricated SUS 321 stainless steel. This significantly advances our grasp of material behavior in tribological applications.

Three chemical precleaning methods-degreasing, electropolishing and acidic etching-suitable for stainless steel vacuum chamber have been studied and compared. The techniques used in evaluating and comparing the three treatments include Auger analysis and the measurement of the outgassing rate. The obtained outgassing rates (N2 equivalent) are 1.1 $\times$ 10-10torr l/s cm2 and 3.9 $\times$ 10-11torr l/s cm2 for degreasing electropolishing, and etching method, respectively, after 48 hours from the initial pumpdown at room temperature. A simple model is introduced to analyze the pumpdown curve. Some surface parameters, such as surface coverage, mean residence time, and desorption energy, are calculated from corresponding equations derived from this model.

네일 파일(nailfile)을 제조할 때 재료는 강판(두께 0.5mm)을 사용하고 가공방법은 외형형상을 만들고 $\phi$ 0.8-$\phi$ 1.0mm의 구멍을 약 300여개 뚫어 완성한다. 이들의 가공방법은 에칭(etching)에 의존하므로 제조 원가의 $33\%$를 에칭비가 차지하고 있으므로 제조원가의 상승원인이 되고 에칭시 부식제(etching reagent)의 잔류도 환경친화적이 못되며 재료가 강판이기 때문에 제품에 녹(rust)이 생기므로 이들의 문제점을 해결하고자 하였다. 따라서, 재질은 스테인리스판으로 교체하고 에칭가공 대신 금형으로 가공할 수 있는 프로그레시브 퍼퍼레이팅 금형(progressive perforating die)을 개발하였다.
