The formation microstructure and properties of novel ceramic composite materials by active filler con-trolled polymer pyrolysis were investigated. Polymethlsiloxane filled with W is of particular interested be-cause of the formation of ceramic bonded hard materials (WC-$W_{2}C$-$S_{1}OC$) for wear resistant applications. Highly metal-filled polymer suspensions were prepared and their conversion to ceramic composites by an-nealing in $N_{2}C$ atmosphere at 1000-$1600^{\circ}C$ were studied. Dimensional change porosity and phase distribution (filler network) were analyzed and correlated to the resulting material properties. Microcrystalline com-posites with the filler reaction products embedded to the resulting material properties. Microcrystalline com-posites with the filler reaction products embedded in a silicon oxycarbide glass matrix were produced. De-pending on the pyrolysis conditions ceramic composites with a density up to 95 TD% a hardness of 7-8.8GPa Yong's modulus of 220-230 GPa a fracture toughness of 6-6.8$MPam^{1/2}$ and a flexual strength of 380-470 MPa were obtained.

Statement of problem: Recently researches about WC/C (Tungsten Carbide/Carbon) or TiN (Titanium Nitride) coating on abutment screws are going on. It decreases friction coefficient, resistance against corrosion and withdrawal of physical fragility when the coating is applied to the metal surfaces. It is reported that coated abutment screws improved abrasion, adaptability and detorque force. Purpose: This study is about the effects of coated abutment screws on loosening of screw and for the purpose of solving the loosening phenomenon of abutment screws which is clinical problem. Material and methods: Detorque force and surface changes are compared when 10 times of repeated closing and opening are applied to both uncoated titanium abutment screws (Group A) and coated abutment screws with WC/C (Group B) and TiN (Group C). Each group was made up of 10 abutment screws. Results: 1. Before repeated closing and opening, Somewhat rough surface with regular direction was observed in Group A. Coated granules were observed in group B and group C and overall coated layer appeared in regular and smooth form. 2. Before repeated closing and opening, The coated surface showed bigger and thicker size of coated granules in Group C than Group B. 3. After repeated closing and opening, abrasion and deformation of abutment screw surface was observed in Group A and Group B. Exfoliation phenomenon was observed in Group B. 4. Group A showed biggest range of decrease when the weight changes of abutment screws were measured before and after repeated closing and opening. Group C showed less weight changes than Group B but there was no statistical difference between two groups. 5. Group B and Group C showed higher average detorque force than Group A and there was statistical difference. 6. Group A showed more prominent decrease tendency of average detorque force than Group B and Group C. Conclusion: Coated abutment screws with WC/C or TiN did not show prominent surface changes than uncoated titanium abutment screws even though they were repeatedly used. And they showed excellent resistance against friction and high detorque force. Thus it is considered that adaptation of WC/C or TiN coating on abutment screws will improve the screw loosening problem.

최근 공구산업은 산업 발전으로 공구의 사용 환경이 가혹화 되고, 첨단산업용 특수합금들이 발달하면서 이를 가공할 수 있는 새로운 절삭공구소재들이 개발되어지고 있다. 또한 고성능 절삭공구는 공구소재보다 코팅개발이 상대적으로 더욱 효과적이기 때문에 코팅 기술 개발이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 최근 일본에서는 새로운 코팅층 물질 개발보다는 기존의 코팅물질을 조합하거나 개량하여 성능을 향상시키는 추세이며, 이는 현재 공구산업의 효율적인 개발방향을 제시하고 있다. 기존의 빗각 증착은 기판의 각도를 변경하여 증기가 기판에 비스듬하게 입사하도록 조절하여 코팅하는 기술로 박막의 조직을 다양하게 제어하는 것이 가능하며, 구조 제어를 통한 완전화 박막을 이용한 one-batch 다기능 구현을 위하여 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 가공이 까다로운 소재를 가공하기 위한 공구에 적용하기 위해서 Al의 함량이 높은 AlTiN 소재가 개발되어 적용되고 있으며, 이 소재는 공구의 수명향상을 위한 표면처리 소재로 각광을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 음극아크 증착 시 거대입자가 박막에 증착되어 결함을 만들기 때문에 그 밀도를 낮추기 위해서 음극 아크 증착을 이용하여 공정 변화에 따른 AlTiN 박막의 표면형상을 관찰하고 특성을 평가하였다. 또한 빗각 증착을 적용하여 제작한 AlTiN 박막의 특성을 평가하였다. 고 함량의 AlTi합금 타겟을 음극 아크 소스에 장착하여 AlTiN 박막을 코팅하였다. 시편은 스테인리스강판(SUS304)과 초경(tungsten carbide; WC)을 사용하였다. 음극 아크 소스에 인가되는 전류가 낮을수록 AlTiN 박막 표면에 거대입자의 밀도가 낮아졌으며, 기판 전압과 공정압력이 높을수록 AlTiN 박막의 표면에 존재하는 거대입자의 밀도가 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. 이를 통하여 거대입자밀도를 낮추는 기초공정을 도출하였다. AlTiN 박막 제작 시 빗각을 적용한 결과 $60^{\circ}$의 빗각을 적용한 다층 박막에서 상대적으로 가장 높은 경도 값을 보였다. 본 연구를 통해 음극 아크 증착을 이용하여 거대입자의 밀도가 낮은 박막을 제작할 수 있는 공정을 도출하였고, 빗각증착을 적용하면 경도가 향상되는 결과를 확인하였다.

The objective of this research is to develop the coating technique by a porous self-fluxing alloy for improving the mechanical properties of run-out table roller surface with the hot rolling. To enhance the durability of run-out table roller with the hot rolling, the high hardness of roller surface should be maintained at high temperatures, and the improvement of wear resistance, corrosion resistance, heat resistance, burn resistance and adhesion resistance should be maintained. In order to be able to transport reliably a hot rolled steel sheet, also, the appropriate friction coefficient on the roller surface should be maintained and the slip between roller and steel should not occur. In this study, the wear resistance of roller increases after the self-fluxing alloy is changed to a cermet by adding the tungsten carbide(WC), and the coefficient of friction increases and the ability of grip is improved because the porosities are made by coating with fine iron powder on the roller surface. As a result, it is found that the ability of grip between the steel and the roller coated by a porous self-fluxing alloy contained to 5 ~ 10 wt% of Fe in the coating layer is improved compared to the roller coated by Ni-Cr. This is because the porosities are made after Fe contained in the roller is partially alloyed by heating with a furnace in the fusing process and the rest is eliminated by oxidation and dissolution.
