The integrity of the turbine rotors can be assessed by the coercive force and Vickers hardness of the aged rotors at service temperature. The coercive force measurement system was constructed in order to evaluate material degradation nondestructively. The test specimen was 1Cr-1Mo-0.25V steel used widely for turbine rotor material, and then the seven kinds of specimens with different degradation levels were prepared by the isothermal heat treatment at $630^{\circ}C$. The coercive force of the test materials was measured at room temperature. Vickers hardness and coercive force decreased with the increase of degradation. The relationship between Vickers hardness and coercive force was investigated. The degradation of test material may be determined nondestructively by the relationship between Vickers hardness and coercive force.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of wattage and curing time on surface hard-ness, three-point bending strength and internal porosity of microwave curing denture base resin. Two sizes of resin specimens were made of Acron $MC^{(R)}\;;\;3.5{\times}10{\times}60mm$ for surface hardness and three-point bending strength measurement and $5{\times}12{\times}60mm$ for internal porosity measurement. They were cured by microwave energy at varing wattages(500W, 700W) and curing times(2min., 3min., 4min.) to determine if a certain wattage/curing time combination would improve physical properties. Surface hardness was measured with Vikers hardness tester, three-point bend-ing strength with universal testing machine and internal porosity was calculated by measuring the weight in air and in water. The results obtained were as follows: 1. There was no significant difference in percent porosity among experimental groups(p>0.05). 2. 500W/3min. group showed the higher surface hardness than 700W/2, 3, 4min. groups(p<0.05), and 700W/4 min. group showed the lower surface hardness than 500W/2, 3, 4min. groups(p<0.05), but there was no significant difference among others(p>0.05). 3. 500W/3min. group yielded the higher value of bending strength than 500W/2min., 700W/3, 4min. groups(p<0.05), but there was no significant difference among others(p>0.05).

Repeated sliding contact wear test was performed with copper specimens to obtain the relationship between wear and surface hardening. Wear surface and wear track section were observed by optical microscopy. Wear volume and micro-vikers hardness of sublayer below wear surface were obtained. These results suggested that wear mechanism depended on contact load than sliding velocity. Therefore wear mechanism was abrasive wear within critical contact load and adhesive wear over critical contact load. Wear rate increased with contact load, sliding distance but decreased with sliding velocity. Surface hardening increased with sliding velocity and sliding distance but decreased with contact load.

Thermal Diffusion Process(TD Process)을 통하여 베어링강 소재인 SUJ2 표면에 Vanadium Carbide를 석출시켜 표면 물성에 관한 연구를 진항하였다. $900{\sim}950^{\circ}C$ 온도와 2~6H 공정시간에 따라 TD Process에 의한 코팅층의 변화를 Micro Vikers Hardness Tester와 광학현미경, SEM, EDS를 통하여 관찰하였다. 그 결과 공정시간 및 온도는 코팅층 성장과 비례한다는 것을 확인 할 수 있었고 SUJ2 표면에 성장된 코팅층은 높은 경도값을 갖는 VC, CrC 코팅층임을 확인하였다.

The mechanical properties of barrier ribs in PDP require quantification in order to control the defects and to increase the yield in the process. Several different types of rib materials were tested for hardness (H) and Young's modulus (E) with a microtip indenter (Berkovich type). For the assessment of fracture toughness of the rib, a macro Vikers indenter was used. The materials with 30wt% of filler were fired at between $490^{\circ}C$ and $570^{\circ}C$. As a result, the composite became fully densified at $520^{\circ}C$, which is near the T s (Littleton softening point) of glass frit. As the filler content increased, the fracture toughness also $(K_{IC})$ increased in the range of 0.60 to 2.63 $MPa{\cdot}m^{0.5}$ after sintering at $550^{\circ}C$. The results suggest that the application of a nano-indenter would be useful for testing the mechanical properties of barrier ribs.

This present paper investigated the mechanical properties and the microstructures of each penetration shapes classifying the conduction shape area and the keyhole shape area about electron beam welded 120(T)mm thick plated aluminum 5052 112H. As a result the penetration depth is increased linearly according to the output power, but the aspect ratio is decreased after the regular output power. In the conduction shape area, the Heat affected zone is observed relatively wider than the keyhole shape area. In the material front surface of the welded specimen, the width is decreased but the width in the material rear surface is increased. After the measuring the Micro Vikers Hardness, it showed almost similar hardness range in all parts, and after testing the tensile strength, the ultimate tensile strength is similar to the ultimate tensile strength of the base material in all the specimens, also the fracture point was generated in the base materials of all the samples. In the result of the impact test, impact absorbed energy of the Keyhole shape area is turned up very high, and also shown up the effect about four times of fracture toughness comparing the base material. In the last result of observing the fractographs, typical ductile fraction is shown in each weld metal, and in the basic material, the dimple fraction is shown. The weld metals are shown that there are no other developments of any new chemical compound during the fastness melting and solidification.

Root caries is very frequently developed on exposed root surface after periodontal surgical treatment. In order to determine the anti-caries effect of Nd : YAG laser irradiation on periodontally exposed root surface, 40 mandibular molar teeth that had been extracted due to excessive periodontal destruction were used as the experimental teeth. All teeth were treated by the same procedure as conventional periodontal root treatment, ie thorough scaling, root planing and root conditioning with tetracycline HCl(100mg/ml, 5min.). Within middle one third of root, mesial half surface(20) or distal half surface(20) was randomly irradiated at various power of 1.0W, 2.0W, 3.0W and 4.0W for 60 seconds by non-contact(5mm) delivery of a pulsed Nd : YAG laser(EN.EL.EN060, Italy). The microhardness was measured by Vikers microhardness tester(Wilson, USA) at 2mm/second of jog speed under 100gm load. The difference of microhardness between irradiated side and non-irradiated side was statistically analyzed ANOVA and Duncan's method. Following results were obtained ; 1. The microhardness(Knoop hardness number) was significantly higher in laser irradiated surface than non-irradiated surface(p<0.05). 2. There was no significant difference in microhardness between experimental groups classified by different laser power(p>0.1). The results suggest that Nd : YAG laser irradiation on exposed root suface after periodontal therapy may inhibit the root caries development by enhancing surface microhardness.

In this study, Liquid Phase Sintered SiC (LPS-SiC) was fabricated by hot pressing method with $\beta$-SiC powder whose a particle size is 30nm and less on the average in argon condition at 1780 and $1800^{\circ}C$ under 20MPa. Alumina ($Al_2O_3$), yttria ($Y_2O_3$) and silica ($SiO_2$) were used for sintering additives. To investigate effects of particle-size and temperature on $SiO_2$, LPS-SiC was fixed $Al_2O_3$, $Y_2O_3$ and then particle-size of $SiO_2$ were changed as two kinds. The system of particle-size and temperature on sintering additives which affects a property of sintering os well os the influence depending on particle-size and temperature of sintering additives were investigated by measurement of sintering properties. Such as measurement of sintering density, vikers hardness and observing of microstructure were investigated to make sure of the optimum condition which is about matrix of $SiC_f/SiC$ composites. Base on the composition of sintering additives, microstructure and sintering property correlation, the effect of particle-size of sintering additives are discussed. An experimental method to investigate the dynamic characteristics of bums in extreme environmental condition is established.
