현재까지 분석된 백제지역 출토 철기 유물의 금속미세조직과 비금속개재물 분석 자료들을 한강, 금강, 영산강 유역권으로 분류하여 조업 온도를 추정하고 제강 및 열처리 기술을 지역적 시대별 특성을 조사하였다. 세 지역 모두 시대에 관계없이 고체저온환원으로 괴련철이나 해면철이 주 제철 방법으로 판단된다. 비금속개재물의 산화물 삼원상태도로 재해석한 결과 로내 온도는 $1,100{\sim}1,300^{\circ}C$ 정도에서 조업하였던 것으로 추정된다. 철광석은 자철광석이 주원료이며, $TiO_2$가 높은 것들은 사철을 사용하였던 것으로 보인다. $CaO/SiO_2$의 비율이 0.4 이상인 유물들은 석회질의 융제를 인위적으로 넣었던 것으로 판단된다. 제강은 저탄소강을 단야로에서 숯으로 가열할 때 나오는 CO, $CO_2$ gas로 침탄시키는 고체 침탄강임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 의도적으로 필요 부분의 강도를 높이는 침탄작업과 담금질을 하였던 것으로 보아 3세기에는 백제지역의 철기제작자들은 열처리 기술을 인지하고 있었다.

Low carbon steel (S20C steel) and SPCC steel sheet have been austenitic nitrided at $700^{\circ}C$ in a closed pit type furnace by changing the flow rate of ammonia gas and heat treating time. When the flow rate of ammonia gas was low, the concentration of residual ammonia appeared low and the hardness value of transformed surface layer was high. The depth of the surface layer, however, was shallow. With increasing the concentration of residual ammonia by raising up the ammonia gas flow, both the depth of the surface layer and the pore depth increased, while the maximum hardness of the surface layer decreased. By introducing a large amount of ammonia gas in a short time, a deep surface layer with minimal pores on the outermost surface was obtained. In this experiment, while maintaining 10~12% of residual ammonia, the flow rate of inlet ammonia gas, 7 liter/min, was introduced at $700^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. In this condition, the thickness of the surface layer without pores appeared about $60{\mu}m$ in S20C steel and $30{\mu}m$ in SPCC steel plate. Injecting additional methane gas (carburizing gas) to this condition played a deteriorating effect due to promoting the formation of vertical pores in the surface layer. For $1^{st}$ transformed surface layer for S20C steel, maintaining 10~12% residual ammonia condition via austenitic nitriding process resulted in ${\varepsilon}$ phase with relatively high nitrogen concentration (just below 4.23 wt.%N) among the mixed phases of ${\varepsilon}+{\gamma}$. The ${\varepsilon}$ phase was formed a specific orientation perpendicular to the surface. For $2^{nd}$ transformed layer for S20C steel, ${\gamma}$ phase was rather dominant (just above 2.63 wt.%N). For SPCC steel sheet, there appeared three phases, ${\gamma}$, ${\alpha}(M)$ and weak ${\varepsilon}$ phase. The nitrogen concentration would be approximately 2.6 wt.% in these phases condition.

Austenitic stainless steel castings using expandable polystylene(referred to hereafter as EPS) patterns are often affected by distinctive defects associated with incomplete decomposition of the EPS as the molds are filled with metal. The quality of the castings, with particular reference to carbon pick-up in austenitic stainless steel is further influenced to a significant extent by such factors as reduced pressure, the additive by adding $Na_2CO_3$ in coating. The steel composition and microstructure were examined at the surface layer of castings, at depths of 1mm, by taking successive layers of swarf and analysis. In experiments, the carburizing atmosphere was neutralized, showing that the coating performed efficiently by decomposing almost instantly on heating and liberating $CO_2$. The upper parts of castings obtained using EPS patterns were slightly higher in carbon pick-up than other parts. Comparing the 316L and 304 stainless steel castings, qualitative and quantative differences could be found between the carbon pick-up behaviours as influence of the carbon content and alloying elements. Carbide former such as Cr makes carbon more soluble in the steel. This must make carbon pick-up in the surface layer but at the same time richer in carbon especially in the 304 stainless steel castings.

Laser Material Processing has been replaced the conventional machining systems - cutting, drilling, welding and surface modification and so on. Especially, LTH(Laser Transformation Hardening) process is one branch of the laser surface modification process. Conventionally, some techniques like a gas carburizing and nitriding as well as induction and torch heating have been used to harden the carbon steels. But these methods not only request post-machining resulted from a deformation but also have complex processing procedures. Besides, LTH process has some merits as : 1. It is easy to control the case depth because of output(laser power) adjustability. 2. It is able to harden the localized and complicated a.ea and minimize a deformation due to a unique property of a localized heat source. 3. An additional cooling medium is not required due to self quenching. 4. A prominent hardening results can be obtained. This study is related to the surface hardening of the rod-shaped carbon steel applied to the lathe based complex processing mechanism, a basic behavior of surface hardening, hardness distribution and structural characteristics in the hardened zone.

플라즈마 이온질화 기술은 특히 스테인리스강의 표면경도 향상을 통한 기계적 성질 개선을 위해 산업 전반에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 또한 저온처리가 가능할 뿐만 아니라 담금질 강, 가스 질화 또는 침탄에 비해 변형이 적으며, 높은 표면 경도와 부식 저항성을 향상시키는 이점이 있다. 많은 연구자들에 의해 $450^{\circ}C$ 이하의 온도에서 플라즈마 이온질화 처리 시 expanded austenite(S-상)에 의해 부식 저항성이 향상되는 것으로 나타났다. 이때 대부분의 실험은 HCl 또는 NaCl과 같은 염화물 용액에서 실시되었다. 그러나 전기화학적인 요인으로서 염화물 용액과 천연해수 사이에는 차이가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 304 스테인리스강에 대하여 다양한 온도에서 플라즈마 이온질화 처리 후 천연해수 용액에서 전기화학적 특성 분석을 통해 결과적으로 내식성이 가장 우수한 최적의 플라즈마 이온질화 처리 온도 조건을 규명하였다.
