The cathodic hydrogen evolution ability of different pure metals and their long term galvanic corrosion behavior with pure Mg were investigated. The hydrogen evolution ability of pure Ti, Al, Sn and Zr is weak, while that of Fe, W, Cr, and Co is very strong. Initial polarization test could not completely reveal the cathodic behavior of the tested metals during long term corrosion. The cathodic hydrogen evolution ability may vary significantly in the long term galvanic tests for different metals, especially for Al whose cathodic current density reduced to 1/50 of the initial value. The anodic polarization shows that Al and Sn as alloying elements are supposed to provide relatively good passive effect for Mg alloy, while Ag can provide a slight passive effect and Zn has little passive effect.

In this paper, mechanical behaviors of developed pedicle screw system, made of bio-mechanical materials(Ti-6Al-4V, Grade 5), ale predicted using FEM analysis. As a first step, morphologic construction of normal Korean spines and surgical operation convenience are considered to design optimum pedicle screw system. In this step, various design variables are considered as design parameters to develop optimized models. As a next step, tension and bending tests are performed to improve the structural performance of the developed system using finite element method. In this step, required Static compression and bending test specifications by ASTM F-04 25 04 01 are applied to understand the bio-mechanical behaviors of the designed spinal implant system under various load types. As the results of this research, it is possible to develop efficient pedicle screw system, having enough rigidity and fixation to stand any spinal damage under allowable stress conditions.

박막형 태양전지 및 플렉서블 태양전지 기판으로 사용되는 금속기판의 우수성은 잘 알려져 있다. 그러나 상용 금속기판이 직면하고 있는 문제점을 보완하기 위해서 전주법으로 제조된 2원합금 금속포일을 개발하였으며, 박막형 및 플렉서블 태양전지의 기판재로 적용가능성을 확인하였다. 일반적으로 태양전지를 제조할 때 열 공정이 수행되며, 이때 기판재와 cell을 구성하는 반도체의 열팽창 계수 차이에 의한 열변형으로 결함이 발생될 수 있고, 태양전지 효율 및 수명을 저하시키는 원인이 될 수 있다. 이러한 원인이 될 수 있는 구성 재료간의 열팽창계수 차이에 의한 cell 의 변형량을 추정하기 위해 유한요소해석 방법을 사용하였다. 유한요소해석을 수행하기 위해 ALGOR 라는 해석 tool 을 사용하였다. 유한요소해석 수행에 사용된 상용 금속인 Mo, Ti, Al, SUS 포일과 전주법으로 제조된 2원합금 금속포일의 열팽창 계수는 실험을 통한 측정치이며, cell을 구성하는 반도체의 열팽창 계수와 열특성은 참고 문헌에 있는 자료들이다. 이 값들을 기반으로 cell 의 구성을 단순화시킨 가상의 태양전지가 제조 공정 온도에서 상온으로 냉각될 때의 열변형량을 계산하였다.

X-ray diffraction observation of fracture surfaces yields useful information to analyze the causes of failure accidents of engineering structures. This experimental technique, named X-ray fractography, has been developed especially in metal and mechanical engineering fields. The distributions of the residual stress and the half value breadth of diffraction profiles beneath the fatigue fracture surface were measured with SNCM 439, HT100 and Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The size of the maximum plastic zone was successfully determined on the basis of the measured distributions. This size was correlated to maximum stress intensity factor. The distributions of the half value breadth of diffraction profiles on the fatigue fracture surfaces were measured with SNCM 439. HT100. The equations of x-ray parameter distribution were possible to estimated fracture parameters of fatigue fracture surfaces.

TFT-LCD 제조공정의 발전에 따라, 박막층(a-Si, SiNx, gate 전극, ITO 등)에 대한 습식공정을 대치하는 건식식각이 선호되고 있다. scan signal의 전파지연시간을 단축시키는 장점을 갖는 Al gate 전극의 건식식각의 경우, 높은 식각속도와 slope angle의 조절, 그리고 식각균일도가 요구된다. 이러한 Al gate 전극물질로는 Al에 Ti이나 Nd와 같은 금속을 첨가하여 post annealing 동안에 발생하는 hillock을 방지하고 더불어 낮은 resistivity(<10$\mu$$\Omega$cm)와 열과 부식에 대한 높은 저항성을 얻을 수 있다. 그러나 Al-Nd alloy 박막은 식각속도와 photoresist에 대한 식각선택도가 낮아 문제로 지적되고 있다. 본 실험에서는 고밀도 플라즈마원의 일종인 자화된 고밀도 유도결합형 플라즈마를 이용하여 식각가스 조합, inductive power, bias voltage 그리고 공정압력 등의 다양한 공정변수에 따른 Al-Nd film의 기본적인 식각특성 변화를 관찰하였다. 식각시 chloring gas를 주요 식각가스로 사용하고 BCl, HBr 등을 10mTorr의 일정한 압력을 유지하는 조건하에서 첨가하였으며 inductive power는 5100W~800W, bias voltage는 -50V~-200V까지 변화를 주었다. 식각공정의 전후를 통하여 Al-Nd 박막표면의 조성변화를 관찰하기 위하여 X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)를 이용하였으며 공정변수에 따른 식각후 profile 관찰은 scanning electron microscopy(SEM)을 통하여 관찰하였다. Al-Nd 식각속도는 100% Cl2 플라즈마에 비해 BCl3의 양이 증가할수록 증가하였으며 75%의 BCl3 gas를 첨가하였을 때 가장 높은 식각속도를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 SEM을 이용한 표면분석으로 roughness가 감소된 공정조건을 찾을 수 있었다.

NiCr alloys are prepared onto poly-Si/ $SiO_2$/Si substrates to replace Pt bottom electrode with a new one for integration of high dielectric constant materials. Alloys deposited at Ni and Cr power of 40 and 40 W showed optimum properties in the composition of N $i_{1.6}$C $r_{1.0}$. The grain size of films increases with increasing deposition temperature. The films deposited at 50$0^{\circ}C$ showed a severe agglomeration due to homogeneous nucleation. The NiCr alloys from the rms roughness and resistivity data showed a thermal stability independent of increasing annealing temperature. The 80 nm thick BST films deposited onto N $i_{1.6}$C $r_{1.0}$/poly-Si showed a dielectric constant of 280 and a dissipation factor of about 5 % at 100 kHz. The leakage current density of as-deposited BST films was about 5$\times$10$^{-7}$ A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at an applied voltage of 1 V. The NiCr alloys are possible to replace Pt bottom electrode with new one to integrate f3r high dielectric constant materials.terials.

Large saturation magnetization $4pM_s$ is essentially required for soft magnetic thin layers used in magnetic recording devices. Amorphous Co-based alloys and Fe-Co alloys may be regarded as one of the candidates for soft magnetic materials which possess large $4\piM_s$. Some preparation process to improve soft magnetism of these films were performed in this study. Addition of Ta seemed to be effective to change the magnetostriction constant $\lambda$ from positive value to negative one. The magnetoelastic energy $K_e$ is strongly dependent on $\lambda$. $(Co_{95.7}Zr_{4.3})_{100-x}Ta_x$ films with $K_e$ of negative value have sufficiently soft magnetic characteristics. $Fe_{90}Co_{10}$ alloy exhibits extremely large $4\piM_s$, of about 24 kG. Addition of N and Ta to $Fe_{90}Co_{10}$ films improved the soft magnetism of them. The $Fe_{82.0}Co_{7.6}Ta_{10.4}$:N/Ti multilayered films exhibit better soft magnetic properties and better thermal stability than Fe-Co-Ta:N singlelayer films.

플라즈마 전해 산화(Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation, PEO)는 Al, Ti, Mg 합금과 같은 경량 금속소재에 대한 표면처리기술로서 주목을 받고 있다. PEO 처리에 의해 표면에 치밀하게 형성되는 세라믹 산화층은 우수한 내식성, 내마모성을 보유하기 때문에, 이와 같은 특성이 요구되는 분야에 적용하기 위한 연구가 활발하다. 특히 PEO 세라믹 코팅층의 응착마모(adhesive wear)와 절삭마모(abrasive wear)에 관한 연구는 상당부분 이루어지고 있으나, 캐비테이션 침식과 같은 침식마모(erosive wear) 특성에 관한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 알루미늄 합금 소지에 제작된 PEO 코팅층의 캐비테이션 손상 특성을 고찰하였으며, 전해액 조성이 PEO 코팅층의 미세조직과 캐비테이션 손상 특성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. PEO 처리를 위해 사용된 소재는 상용 5083-O합금 판재로서 $2cm{\times}2cm$로 절단하여, 에머리페이퍼로 1000번까지 연마하여 사용하였다. 사용된 전해액은 증류수에 KOH(1 g/L)을 base로 하여 $Na_2SiO_3$(2 g/L)의 첨가유무를 변수로 하였다. 시편을 양극으로 하고 STS304를 음극으로 하여 각각 DC 전원 공급기의 +극과 -극에 연결하였으며, 정전류 조건에서 30분간 $0.1A/cm^2$의 전류밀도를 인가하였다. PEO 처리후 시편은 SEM, EDS, XRD를 이용하여 표면 특성 평가를 실시하였다. PEO코팅층의 캐비테이션 특성 평가는 초음파 진동식 캐비테이션 발생 장치를 이용하였으며, 캐비테이션 실험 후 시간에 따른 표면 거칠기의 변화 거동을 분석하였다.

This paper investigates shape design processes of two implant systems for bone fracture treatment ; Bone plate and Interlocking nail system. These systems can directly fix fractured human bones by surgical operations. The bone plates consist of various shaped plates and implant screws for fixation of fractured human bones with various manual instruments allowing to handle them. The material corresponds to titanium alloy Ti6Al4V because it is harmless material for human body as well as significantly rigid. This system has to be suitably rigid as well as manually bended in orthopedic surgery operations. The Interlocking nail system is a kind of nail implanted inside fractured human bones. The shapes of these systems have to be suitably designed in order to endure various loads as well as avoid any damages. If various shaped prototypes would be fabricated and tested to design the optimal shapes, optimal shapes could be obtained but very long time and expensive costs must be required. In this paper finite element method was applied into these systems. Under various boundary conditions a series of structural analysis was conducted by using ANSYS. Finally important shape factors could be determined on the basis of the analysis results.

Tensile deformation behavior with different strain rate was investigated. $Zr_{56.2}Ti_{13.8}Nb_{5.0}Cu_{6.9}Ni_{5.6}Be_{12.5}$(bulk metallic glass alloy possessed crystal phase which was called $\beta$-phase of dendrite shape, mean size of $20{\sim}30{\mu}m$ and occupied 25% of the total volume) was used in this study. Maximum tensile strength was obtained as 1.74GPa at strain rate $10^2s^{-1}$ and minimum strength was found to be 1.6GPa at $10^{-1}s^{-1}$. And then, maximum plastic deformation occurred at the strain rate of $5{\times}10^{-2}s^{-1}$ and represented 1.75%, though minimum plastic deformation showed 0%. In the specific range of strain rate, relatively higher plastic deformation and lower ultimate tensile strength were found with lots of shear bands. The fractographical observation after tensile test indicated that vein like pattern on the fracture surface was well developed especially in the above range of strain rate.
