Macroporous silicon diaphragms 20 to $200{\mu}m$ thick have been formed on p-type silicon by anistropic etching in TMAH solution and then by electrochemical etching in HF-ethanol-water solution with an applied current. The pores have a pore diameter of $1.5{\sim}2{\mu}m$, with a depth of $20{\sim}30{\mu}m$ and are not interconnected, which are in sharp contrast to the porous silicon reported previouly for similarly doped p-Si. The fabrication of macroporous silicon and free-standing diaphragms is expected to offer new applications for microsensors, micro-machining, and separators.

The characteristics of corrosion resistance for the surface of medium high carbon steels and low alloy steels utilizing as manufacturing the machinery structures and machining tools and treating by plasma/ion nitriding process have been studied in terms of electrochemical polarization behav-iors including corrosion potential(Ecorr) anodic polarization trends and polarization resistance(Rp) The seven base materials showed a clear passivation behavior for the polarization tests in the ASTM standard solution 1N ${H_2){SO_4}$ Although the treated surface by plasma nitriding for the seven test materials showed a significant increase in hardness the treatment gave a detri-mental effect in corrosion resistance. The various characteristics including corrosion potential polarization curves microstructures corrosion current polarization resistance among non-treat-ed nitriding and/or soft-nitriding treated specimens have been investigated and some of the mechanisms discussed.

In this study, an EP (electro-polishing)-MAP (magnetic abrasive polishing) hybrid process was developed as a precision finishing process. To evaluate the characteristics of this EP-MAP hybrid process, a series of experiments were carried out using various working gaps, current densities, and electrolyte concentrations. As a result, $NaNO_3$ was found to be very suitable as the electrolyte of the hybrid process because there was no electrochemical reaction with the CNT-Co composite. Moreover, an increase in the magnetic flux density affected the liquidity of the electrolyte and prevented it from flowing into the CNT-Co composite powder. For that reason, the lower liquidity of the electrolyte increased the thermal energy on the surface of the workpiece.
