This research addresses the improvement of tribo-systems, specifically regarding the reduction of friction and wear through tribo-coupling between tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) with different types of counterpart materials, namely bearing steel (SUJ2), tungsten carbide (WC), stainless steel (SUS304), and alumina ($Al_2O_3$). A second variable in this project is the utilization of different values of duct bias voltage in the deposition of the ta-C coating - 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20 V. The results of this research are expected to determine the optimum duct bias and best counter materials associated with ta-C to produce the lowest friction and wear. Results obtained reveal that the tribo-couple between the ta-C coating and SUJ2 balls produces the lowest friction coefficient and wear rate. In terms of duct bias changes, deposition using 5 V produces the most optimum tribological behavior with lowest friction and wear on the tribo-system. In contrast, the tribo-couple between ta-C with a WC ball causes penetration through the coating surface layer and hence high surface delamination. This study demonstrates that the most effective ta-C coating duct bias is 5 V associated with SUJ2 counter material to produce the lowest friction and wear.

In case of esthetic restorative procedure with zirconia restoration, we have to use resin cement because of not only just for retention but also esthetic reason. In such a clinical situation, we have to consider two bonding interfaces, one is tooth surface to resin cement and the other is zirconia surface to resin cement. There is well established bonding protocol between tooth surface to resin cement, but bonding protocol of zirconia surface to resin cement is still controversial. In scientific point of view, there are two mechanism for bonding of zirconia restoration.. One is mechanical retention and the other is chemical adhesion. However, we have three different options for bonding of zirconia restoration in clinical situation; 1) Tribo-chemical coating with silica and silane coupling agent 2) Zirconia primer with phosphate chemistry 3) Self-adhesive resin cement with phosphate chemistry.

The space world under zero gravity and super vacuum where the space machine works has only friction and inertia. Inertia of acceleration and diceleration is accurately obtained by computing while friction is always in contact surface and unsteady. The sur soundings under super vacuum make surface friction more complicate. [1,2]. Therefore, method to lubricate stably the contact surface for long term in space machine is very important and friction for space machine proves to be true by several accident of space projects. In spite of that accident, method of lubrication and lubricants to keep stablity for long term in space machine have not been established so far. Lubrication for space machine is very important and under developings over the world. In this study we suggest a new lubricating technology, which improves powerful for space machine.

본 연구에서는 왕복운동 및 회전운동 마찰 실험장치를 이하여 부식금속의 마찰소음특성을 파악하였다. 그 결과 부식금속이 소음발생 시키고 마찰소음의 크기를 증가시키는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 마찰소음에서 부식의 영향은 마찰표면의 변화로부터 기인하는 것을 관찰할 수 있다. 마찰이 지속적으로 발생될 때 부식금속 마찰계수의 음의 기울기가 증가하여 부식이 되지 않은 금속에 비해 상대적으로 빠르게 불안정해 질 수 있음을 확인하였다.

This study aims to visualize the friction and wear behaviors of metal coatings in real time. The main mechanism of wear is identified by observing all the processes in which wear occurs. The friction coefficients of the moments are monitored to confirm the relationship between the friction and wear characteristics of the coating. Thin Ag coatings, which are several hundred nanometers in thickness, are prepared by depositing Ag atoms on silicon substrates through a sputtering method. A pin-on-disk-type tribo-tester is installed inside a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to evaluate the friction and wear characteristics of the Ag coating. A fine diamond pin is brought into contact with the Ag coating surface, and a load of 20 mN is applied. The contact pressure is calculated to be approximately 15 GPa. The moments of wear caused by the sliding motion are visualized, and the changes in the friction characteristics according to each step of wear generation are monitored. The Ag coating can be confirmed to exhibit a wear phenomenon by gradually peeling off the surface of the coating on observing the friction and wear characteristics of the coating in real time inside the SEM. This can be explained by a typical plowing-type wear mechanism.

The effect of nitrogen doping on the mechanical and tribological performance of single-layer tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C:N) coatings of up to $1{\mu}m$ in thickness was investigated using a custom-made filtered cathode vacuum arc (FCVA). The results obtained revealed that the hardness of the coatings decreased from $65{\pm}4.8GPa$ to $25{\pm}2.4GPa$ with increasing nitrogen gas ratio, which indicates that nitrogen doping occurs through substitution in the $sp^2$ phase. Subsequent AES analysis showed that the N/C ratio in the ta-C:N thick-film coatings ranged from 0.03 to 0.29 and increased with the nitrogen flow rate. Variation in the G-peak positions and I(D)/I(G) ratio exhibit a similar trend. It is concluded from these results that micron-thick ta-C:N films have the potential to be used in a wide range of functional coating applications in electronics. To achieve highly conductive and wear-resistant coatings in system components, the friction and wear performances of the coating were investigated. The tribological behavior of the coating was investigated by sliding an SUJ2 ball over the coating in a ball-on-disk tribo-meter. The experimental results revealed that doping using a high nitrogen gas flow rate improved the wear resistance of the coating, while a low flow rate of 0-10 sccm increased the coefficient of friction (CoF) and wear rate through the generation of hematite (${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$) phases by tribo-chemical reaction. However, the CoF and wear rate dramatically decreased when the nitrogen flow rate was increased to 30-40 sccm, due to the nitrogen inducing phase transformation that produced a graphite-like structure in the coating. The widths of the wear track and wear scar were also observed to decrease with increasing nitrogen flow rate. Moreover, the G-peaks of the wear scar around the SUJ2 ball on the worn surface increased with increasing nitrogen doping.

High strength steels are widely used as tribo-materials in the field. Previous study revealed that for mild steel, the states of strain on the worn surface measured by X-ray diffraction has a good relationship with the state of wear. The objective of this study is to identify the relationship between the state of strain on the worn surface and the state of wear in high strength steels. Sliding wear tests were carried out using several hardened steels. X-ray diffraction tests were conducted to analyze the state of strain on the worn surface during wear. The experimental results indicated that the state of strain on worn surface in the hardened steel shows the same tendency as in the mild steel. It is clear that change of half value width on the worn surface as a function of sliding speeds is broadly similar in shape to wear characteristics curve and its magnitude has a good relationship with the wear rate at two different wear modes in the hardened steel.

Various concentration of copper was dopped in Fe-35%Ni thin sheet by electroforming and their electromagnetic, surface properties were determined. Microstructure observation by scanning electron microscopy revealed that the thin sheet had columnar grains with about 150 nm long. Phase analysis by X-ray diffractometry revealed that the alloy thin sheets were fine crystalline. The average surface roughnesses measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM) were about 14.38 nm. Nano hardnesses determined by tribo-nano indenter were 4.13 GPa. The surface resistances were 2.28 ohm/sq. The maximum magnetization, residual magnetization and coercive force depended on the copper concentration.
