Austenitic stainless steel has been used as a corrosion resistance material. However, austenitic stainless steel has poor wear resistance property due to its low hardness. In this investigation, we apply powder composite process to obtain hard layer of Stainless steel. The composite material was fabricated from planetary ball milled SUS316L stainless steel powder and WC powder and then sintered by Pulsed Current Sintering (PCS) method. We also added TiC powder as a hard particle in WC layer. Evaluations of wear properties were performed by pin-on-disk wear testing machine, and a remarkable improvement in wear resistance property was obtained.

The formation, microstructure and properties of novel ceramic composite materials manufactured by active-filler-controlled polymer pyrolysis were investigated. In the presence of active filler particles such as transition metals, bulk components of various geometry could be fabricated from siliconorganic polymer. Molybdenum- and tungsten-filled polymer suspensions were prepared and their conversion to ceramic composites by annealing in $CH_4$ atmosphere were studied. Dimensional change. porosity and phase distribution (filler network) were analyzed and correlated to the resulting hardness values. Molybdenum and tungsten as active filler were carburized completely to $Mo_2C$, $W_2C$ and WC in $CH_4$ atmosphere. Consequently, microcrystalline composites with the filler reaction products embedded in a silicon oxycarbide glass matrix were formed. Hardness was increased with increasing carburization and reached 8.6-9.5 GPa in the specimen pyrolyzed in $CH_4$ atmosphere.

We have studied the effect of C/Ti atomic ratio of TiCx (x=0.5, 0.75 and 1.0) raw powder on the properties of the Ti-Mo-WTiC sintered hard alloy. The decrease of C/Ti atomic ratio accelerated the densification in the sintering process. The hardness was remarkably improved up to 1350HV with decreasing the C/Ti atomic ratio because of increase of TiCx phase volume content and its fine dispersion. From the results of electro-chemical tests in acid and 3% NaCl solutions, it was obvious that every alloy had excellent corrosion resistance, which meant about 200 times better than that of WC-Co cemented carbide.

본 연구는 external butt joint 연결 형태를 가진 임플랜트 시스템에서 티타늄 합금 나사와 텅스텐 카바이드와 탄소로 코팅한 나사의 압축력 및 조임 회전각 측정을 통해 동일한 전하중을 얻는 데 있어 코팅나사 사용이 갖는 임상적 효율성을 간접적으로 비교해 보고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 Osstem Implant의 US II 시스템 고정체(${\phi}=4mm$)와 Cemented abutment를 사용하여 티타늄 합금(Ta) 지대주 나사 및 텅스텐 카바이드와 탄소로 표면 처리한(WC/CTa) 지대주 나사에 30Ncm의 조임 회전력을 적용한 후 압축력 및 조임 회전각을 측정하였다. 다음 WC/CTa 지대주 나사에서 측정된 압축력의 평균값을 계산하고 이를 Ta 지대주 나사에 적용하여 동일한 압축력이 가해질 때의 조임 회전력 값을 측정하였다. 그리고 실험결과 측정된 조임 회전력의 평균값을 Ta 나사에 적용한 후 조임 회전각을 측정하여 비교해 본 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 30Ncm의 조임 회전력에서 텅스텐 카바이드/탄소 코팅 나사가 티타늄 합금 나사보다 압축력과 회전각이 더 높게 나타났다. 텅스텐 카바이드/탄소 코팅 나사에 30Ncm의 조임 회전력을 적용하여 발생한 압축력을 얻기 위해서는 티타늄 합금 나사의 경우 55.6Ncm의 조임 회전력이 필요하였으며, 회전각에는 두 나사 간에 차이가 없었다.

The spacer, which is located between the bucket and the arm of an excavator, has a role in preventing damage to the excavator arm during excavation work. When the durability of the spacer is increased, the lifetime of the arm can be extended and the processing costs can be reduced. To increase the durability of the spacer, tungsten carbide (WC) coating was applied on the surface of a spacer using the plasma transferred arc (PTA) process. The confirm the durability, a wear test using a pin-on disk type of wear testing machine was done under the given conditions and the wear amount on the surface of a tested specimen was measured using reflective digital holography. The results were compared with that of ALPHA-STEP.

In this study, the tribology of laser patterned DLC thin film was studied. DLC thin films were coated by RF-PECVD to improve the durability of tungsten carbide (WC) materials. DLC thin films have high hardness and low friction characteristics. Dot and line patterning was processed on the surface of DLC thin film with femtosecond laser, and the coefficient of friction was improved. As a result of ball on disk abrasion test, the hardness and friction coefficient of DLC thin films were much better than that of WC material. The friction coefficient of DLC thin film with dot patterning and line patterning showed better results. The excellent performance of the laser patterned DLC coating is appeared to reduce the coefficient of friction due to the reduction of surface contact area.

Extremely dense WC with a relative density of up to 99% was obtained within five minutes under a pressure of 80 MPa using the High-Frequency Induction Heated Sintering method. The average grain size of the WC was about 71 nm. The advantage of this process is not only rapid densification to obtain a neartheoretical density but also the prohibition of grain growth in nano-structured materials. The hardness and fracture toughness of the dense WC produced by HFIHS were $2660kg{\cdot}mm^{-2}$ and $7.2MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$, respectively.

This paper describes the micro cutting of wear resistant tungsten carbides using PCD (Poly-Crystalline Diamond) cutting tools in performance with SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) direct observation method. Turning experiments were also carried out on this alloy (V50) using a PCD cutting tool. One of the purposes of this study is to describe clearly the cutting mechanism of tungsten carbides and the behavior of WC particles in the deformation zone in orthogonal micro cutting. Other purposes are to achieve a systematic understanding of machining characteristics and the effects of machining parameters on cutting force, machined surface and tool wear rates by the outer turning of this alloy carried out using the PCD cutting tool during these various cutting conditions. A summary of the results are as follows: (1) From the SEM direct observation in cutting the tungsten carbide, WC particles are broken and come into contact with the tool edge directly. This causes tool wear in which portions scrape the tool in a strong manner. (2) There are two chip formation types. One is where the shear angle is comparatively small and the crack of the shear plane becomes wide. The other is a type where the shear angle is above 45 degrees and the crack of the shear plane does not widen. These differences are caused by the stress condition which gives rise to the friction at the shear plane. (3) The thrust cutting forces tend to increase more rapidly than the principal forces, as the depth of cut and the cutting speed are increased preferably in the orthogonal micro cutting. (4) The tool wear on the flank face was larger than that on the rake face in the orthogonal micro cutting. (5) Three components of cutting force in the conventional turning experiments were different in balance from ordinary cutting such as the cutting of steel or cast iron. Those expressed a large value of thrust force, principal force, and feed force. (6) From the viewpoint of high efficient cutting found within this research, a proper cutting speed was 15 m/min and a proper feed rate was 0.1 mm/rev. In this case, it was found that the tool life of a PCD tool was limited to a distance of approximately 230 m. (7) When the depth of cut was 0.1 mm, there was no influence of the feed rate on the feed force. The feed force tended to decrease, as the cutting distance was long, because the tool was worn and the tool edge retreated. (8) The main tool wear of a PCD tool in this research was due to the flank wear within the maximum value of $V_{max}$ being about 260 $\mu\textrm{m}$.

In order to investigate the microstructure and mechanical properties of WC-10 wt% Co insert tool alloy fabricated by PIM (Powder Injection Molding) process, the feedstock of WC-10 wt% and wax used as a kind of binder were mixed together by two blade mixer. After injection molding, the debinding process was carried out by two-steps. First, solvent extraction, in which the binder was eliminated by putting the specimen into normal hexane for 24 hrs at $60^{\circ}C$, and subsequently thermal debinding which was conducted at $260^{\circ}C$ and $480^{\circ}C$ for 6 hrs in the mixed gas of $H_2/N_2$, respectively. Meantime, in order to compensate the decarburization due to hydrogen, 1.2~1.8% of carbon was added to ensure the integrity of the phase. Finally, the specimens were sintered in vacuum under different temperatures, and the relative density of 99.8% and hardness of 2100 Hv can be achieved when sintered at $1380^{\circ}C$, even the TRS is lower than the conventional sintering process.

임플랜트 보철물에서 각 구성 요소를 연결하는 나사 풀림 현상이 흔히 발생하고 있다. 나사 풀림을 최소화하기 위해서 연결 구성 부품 사이의 압축력을 최대로 하는 것이 중요한데, 나사 신장의 허용 한계 내에서 조임회전력을 증가시켜 나사 내부의 인장력 즉 전하중을 극대화하기 위해서는 마찰 계수를 감소시켜 초기 조임회전력의 손실을 최소화해야 한다. 건조 윤활제를 나사 표면에 코팅한 나사들이 전하중을 증가시키고 나사 풀림을 감소시키나 나사의 반복체결에 따른 코팅표면의 마모가 문제점으로 지적되고 있다. 최근 내마모성이 우수하며 동시에 나사의 마찰 저항을 최소화할 수 있는 텅스텐 카바이드/탄소 코팅을 이용한 나사가 임상에 사용되고 있으나 실제적으로 연결부 안정성에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구는 미미한 편이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 external butt joint 형태를 가지는 US II 시스템과 one stage용 8도의 internal cone 연결형태의 SS II 시스템 및 11도의 internal cone 연결형태의 GS II 시스템에서 티타늄 합금 나사의 텅스텐 카바이드/탄소 코팅이 지대주 나사 풀림에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 100만 회 반복 하중 전후의 풀림회전력 및 상실률을 비교한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 초기 풀림회전력은 티타늄 합금나사보다 텅스텐 카바이드/탄소 코팅 나사를 사용한 경우 작게 나타났으며 (P<.01), 동일 나사를 사용한 경우에는 임플랜트 시스템 간에 차이가 없었다 (P>.05). 2. 반복하중에 따른 풀림회전력의 상실률은 두 나사 모두에서 external butt joint 형태의 US II 시스템이 internal cone 연결형태의 SS II 와 GS II 시스템 보다 크게 나타났으나, SS II 와 GS II 시스템 사이에는 차이를 보이지 않았다 (P<.01). 3. 텅스텐 카바이드/탄소 코팅 나사를 사용한 경우 티타늄 합금 나사에 비해 모든 시스템에서 반복하중 후 풀림회전력 상실률이 작게 나타났으며 (P<.01), 코팅 나사 사용으로 인한 상실률의 감소차는 임플랜트 시스템 간에 차이를 보이지 않았다 (P>.05).
