Using the fatigue limit (△σ_unsm) and residual stress (σ_r) of the UNSM smooth specimen, the harmless maximum crack depth (α_hml) according to the crack aspect ratio (As) was evaluated. α_hml evaluated the reliability in the relationship between the minimum crack depth (α_NDI1, α_NDI2) detectable by nondestructive inspection(NDI) and the crack depth (α₂₅, α₅₀) that reduces the fatigue limit by 25% and 50%. All α_hml was determined by the crack depth. The α_hml of 80N UNSM with high σ_r and high △σ_unsm was found to be large. σ_r in the depth direction had a much effect on α_hml. Since α_hml>α₅₀(As=0.6-0.1) and α_hml>α₂₅, α₂₅ and α₅₀(some range) can secure the safety and reliability. Since α_hml<α₅₀ (As=1. 0-0. 6), it cannot be made harmless by UNSM. So safety and reliability cannot be secured. α_NDI1 and α_NDI2 are larger than α₂₅, α₂₅ cannot be detected by NDI. α_NDI1 and α_NDI2 are smaller than α₅₀, α₂₅ can detected by NDI.

The present study makes three original contributions to nanoskinned Ti-6Al-4V materials. The nanoskins were fabricated on Ti-6Al-4V material using various surface treatments: deep rolling (DR), laser shot peening (LSP), and ultrasonic nanocrystal surface modification (UNSM). These surface treatments are newly developed techniques and are becoming more popular in industrial fields. A fatigue strength comparison at up to 106 cycles was conducted on these nanoskinned Ti-6Al-4V materials. Fatigue tests were carried out using MTS under axial loading tension-compression fatigue (R = -1, RT, 5 Hz, sinusoidal wave). The analysis of the crack initiation patterns in the nanoskinned Ti-6Al-4V materials found an interior originating crack pattern and surface originating crack type. Microscopic observation was mainly used to investigate the fatigue fractured sites. These surface modification techniques have been widely adopted, primarily because of the robust grade of their mechanical properties. These are mainly the result of the formation of a large-scale, deep, and useful compressive residual stress, the formation of nanocrystals by the severe plastic deformation (SPD) at the subsurface layer, and the increase in surface hardness.

A treatment for improving the characteristics of a surface is very important in increasing the life of machine parts. Many studies have been carried out on the surface characteristics after such treatments. For enhanced eco-technology, an alternative to a conventional chemical surface treatment process is essential. Ultrasonic nano-crystal surface modification (UNSM) technology is a physical environmentally friendly surface treatment method. This technology was developed in domestic and currently being used. As the mechanism of UNSM technology, a ball tip attached to an ultrasonic vibration device strikes the metal surface at nearly 20,000 times per second. The resulting modified surface layer improves the surface characteristics. This paper describes a self-developed fast tool servo system applied to the UNSM process as a vibration module within a high-frequency bandwidth. After describing the surface modification process based on the material and process changes, the surface characteristics are compared.

In this paper, the Ultrasonic Nanocrystalline Surface Modification (UNSM) surface treatment process was used to induce compressive residual stress and nanocrystalline structure by severe plastic deformation on the UNSM-treated surface. The test results for AISI304 stainless steel demonstrated that the grain size was found to be 23 nm, the dislocation density was increased by $0.2085{\times}10^{18}\;m^{-2}$, and the volume fraction of martensite is defined as 27.6% from austenite so that the surface hardness of the surface is increased from 200 Hv up to 515 Hv. The initial tensile residual stress is changed from 300 MPa to a compressive residual stress of 500 MPa after UNSM treatment. In addition, UNSM was applied under five various conditions, and the results of those conditions were defined as a function of depth quantitative.

In order to accumulate data to lower the friction coefficient of a press mold, tribological tests were performed before and after coating SM45C with a PVC/PO film and plasma coating (CrN, concept). The ultrasonic nanocrystal surface modification (UNSM)-treated material had a nano-size surface texture, high surface hardness, and large and deep compressive residual stress formation. Even when the load was doubled, the small amount of abrasion, small weight of the abrasion, and width and depth of the abrasion did not increase as much as those of untreated materials. A comparison of the weight change before and after the tribological test with the CrN and the concept coating material and that of the untreated material showed that the wear loss of the concept coating material and P-UNSM treated material (that is, the UNSM treated material treated with the concept coating) showed a tendency to decrease by approximately 55-75%. Concept 100N had a lower friction coefficient of about 0.6, and P-UNSM-30-100N showed almost the same curve as concept 100N and had a low coefficient of friction of about 0.6. The concept multilayer coating had a thickness of $5.32{\mu}m$. In the beginning, the coefficient of friction decreased because of the plasma coating, but it started to increase from about 250-300 s. After about 350 s, the coefficient of friction tended to approach the friction coefficient of the SM45C base metal. The SGV-280F film-attached test specimen was slightly pushed back and forth, but the SM45C base material was not exposed due to abrasion. The friction coefficient was 0.22, which was the lowest, and the tribological property was the best in this study.

비혈관 스텐트(식도용, 담도용, 대장용, 십이지장용, 기관지용) 재질로 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 Nitinol wire 형상기억합금의 기계적 특성 향상을 위해 초음파 나노표면 개질(UNSM) 기술을 적용하여 Nitinol wire의 상변화와 초탄성 특성 및 표면 잔류응력 등의 변화를 연구하였으며, 탄력에너지와 부식내구성을 통한 스텐트의 수명 연장방법을 연구하고자 하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 Nitinol wire는 ${\phi}1.778$ mm로 UNSM 처리 전후의 표면거칠기 값은 Ra=0.092${\mu}m$와 Ra=0.093${\mu}m$로 비슷 하였지만, 초기시편에서는 미세결함과 인발가공 흔적이 확연히 관찰되었으나, UNSM 후에는 인발가공 흔적과 미세 표면 결함은 사라진 것이 발견되었다. 또한 잔류응력 측정 결과, 초기 시험편에는 +3.65 MPa였으나 UNSM 처리 후에는 -4.09 MPa로 확인되었으며, XRD를 통한 결정구조 분석 결과 $42.28^{\circ}$에서 초기보다 약한 (110) 오스테나이트 피크가 관찰되었으며, 대신 (020), ($1{\overline{1}}1$), 그리고 (021) 피크가 명확히 Martensite (B19' Monoclinic lattices) 구조로 확인되었고, (300)의 R상 (Rhombohedral lattices)에 대한 추가 피크가 미비하게 관찰되었다. 탄성변형에 따른 에너지 흡수력과 하중 제거에 따른 에너지의 회복력인 탄력계수(modulus of resilience) $U_r$은 단위체적당 변형률 에너지로 4.31 $MJ/m^3$에서 5.85 $MJ/m^3$로 증가하였다. 이와 같이 표면결함 제거와 인장응력을 압축응력으로 재편성하는 것만으로도 피로내구성을 크게 향상시킬 수 있다고 사료되며, 생체적합성과 더불어 내부식성, 내마모성 및 내구수명 향상을 실용화할 수 있는 표면개질 장치가 개발된다면, 현재 한국인 사망원인 1위인 순환계 질환(심근경색, 뇌졸중 등)에 사용되는 혈관계통의 스텐트 개발에도 응용개발연구가 가능할 것으로 예상된다.

All the failure in fatigue of torsion, bending and rolling contact, and in sliding wear begins mostly from surface. So much efforts have been invested to the surface technology which deal these problems during past decades, but the industrial demand keeps growing and more significant requirements are added to researchers and engineers. Nano crystal surface modification technology which makes the surface layers into nano crystalline, induces big and deep compressive residual stress, increases surface hardness, improves surface hardness, and make micro dimples structure on surface is an emerging technology which can break limits of current surface technology and relieve the burden of researchers and engineers. In this study, a nano crystal surface modification technology which is calling UNSM(Ultrasonic nano crystal surface modification) technology, is introduced and how it has been applied to industry to solve these failure problems is explained.

In this work, various electron microscopy and analysis techniques were used to investigate the microstructural evolution of a 9% Cr tempered martensite ferritic (TMF) steel T91 upon ultrasonic nanocrystalline surface modification (UNSM) treatment. The micro-dimpled surface was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. The characteristics of plastic deformation and gradient microstructure of the UNSM treated specimens were clearly revealed by crystal orientation mapping of electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), with flexible use of the inverse pole figure, image quality, and grain boundary misorientation images. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) observation of the specimens at different depths showed the formation of dislocations, dense dislocation walls, subgrains, and grains in the lower, middle, upper, and top layers of the treated specimens. Refinement of the $M_{23}C_6$ precipitates was also observed, the size and the number density of which were found to decrease as depth from the top surface decreased. The complex microstructure and microstructural evolution of the TMF steel samples upon the UNSM treatment were well-characterized by combined use of EBSD and TEM techniques.

Electrodeposited Ni and Ni-SiC composite coatings were prepared on Cu substrates by using the Ni-Sulfamate electrolytic bath. Thus prepared samples were subjected for the two different types of post surface modification techniques; i.e. Laser Surface Texturing (LST) and Ultrasonic Nano Surface Modification (UNSM), respectively in order to investigate their effects on surface and interface related properties of the coatings. Hemispherical dimples, with 80 to 200 um dimple spacing, were created and examined on the surfaces of the materials studied. The results revealed that micro-surface texturing with 150 um dimple spacing considerably improved the coefficient of friction. Dimple spacing accuracy and incorporated second phase ceramic particles both contributed significantly to reduction in coefficient of friction. On the other hand, application of UNSM considerably modified the surface topography, led to increase the Vickers microhardness, and reduced the wear and coefficient of friction as compared to non UNSM treated Ni and Ni-SiC samples.
