Complex warpage behavior of the electronic packages causes internal stress so many kinds of mechanical failure occur such as delamination or crack. Efforts to predict the warpage behavior accurately in order to prevent the decrease in yield have been approached from various aspects. For warpage prediction, silicon is generally treated as a homogeneous material, therefore it is described as showing no warpage behavior due to thermal loading. However, it was reported that warpage is actually caused by residual stress accumulated during grinding and polishing in order to make silicon wafer thinner, which make silicon wafer inhomogeneous through thickness direction. In this paper, warpage behavior of the single-side polished wafer at solder reflow temperature, the highest temperature in packaging processes, was measured using 3D digital image correlation (DIC) method. Mechanism was verified by measuring coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of both mirror-polished surface and rough surface.

Cocrystallization of active pharmaceutical ingredients has been widely recognized as a versatile tool to regulate the physical properties of pharmaceutical compounds through designed crystal structures. Grinding or milling has been especially useful to screen the feasibility of cocrystal formation, and the addition of a small amount of liquid is routinely necessary. In the present study, the effect of temperature was studied for the milling cocrystallization of ibuprofen and nicotinamide to establish a liquid-free method. The milling-induced cocrystallization was more effective with liquid nitrogen cooling than at room temperature, which was confirmed by XRD and DSC analyses. This behavior was attributed to the limited molecular mobility below the glass transition temperatures of the cocrystal components, which made it effective to destruct the crystals of raw materials and consequently form the ibuprofen/nicotinamide cocrystal. Further studies would be necessary to establish the utility of the current conclusion to the field of pharmaceutical crystallization.

The removal of minor elements such as Na, Ca and Fe has been performed from domestic aluminum hydroxide of 99.7% purity with organic acids. Oxalic and citric acid were used as the leaching agent, respectively and aluminum hydroxides of different particle size were also employed for the purification with organic acid leaching. Fine grinding of aluminum hydroxide has been tested using ball mills and leaching characteristics of each element have also been examined in terms of leaching parameters such as temperature, acid concentration, and solid density. As a result, it was found that oxalic acid showed higher leaching efficiency than citric acid in the concentration range of 0.1 to 1.0 mole/l and leaching amount of each element was also increased with the acid concentration and reaction temperature. It was observed that about 45% of Na was leached out during ball milling process which implied that the majority of Na contained in aluminum hydroxide was water soluble compound.

In the past, precision optical glass lenses were produced through multiple processes such as grinding and polishing, but mass production of aspheric lenses requiring high accuracy and having complex profile was rather difficult. In such a background, the high-precision optical GMP processes were developed with an eye to mass production of precision optical glass parts by molding press. Generally because the forming stage in a GMP process is operated at high temperature above $570^{\circ}C$, thermal stresses and deformations are generated in the aspheric glass lens mold that is used in GMP process. Thermal stresses and deformations have negative influences on the quality of a glass lens and mold, especially the height of the deformed glass lens will be different from the height of designed glass lens. To prevent the problems of a glass lens mold and the glass lens, it is very important that the thermal stresses and deformations of a glass lens mold at high forming temperature are considered at the glass molds design step. In this study as a fundamental study to develop the molds used in an aspheric glass lens fabrication, a heat transfer and a thermal stress analysis were carried out for the case of one cavity glass lens mold used in progressive GMP process. Finally using analysis results, it was predicted the height of thermally deformed guide ring and calculated the height of the guide ring to be modified, $64.5{\mu}m$. This result was referred to design the glass lens molds for GMP process in production field.

CVD-SiC coating has been introduced as a protective layer in TRISO nuclear fuel particle of high temperature gas cooled reactor (HTGR) due to its excellent mechanical stability at high temperature. In order to prevent the failure of the TRISO particles, it is important to evaluate the fracture strength of the SiC coating layer. It is needed to develop a new simple characterization technique to evaluate the mechanical properties of the coating layer as a pre-irradiation step. In present work, direct strength measurement method with the specimen of hem i-spherical shell configuration was suggested. The indentation experiment on a hemisphere shell with a plate indenter was conducted. The fracture strength of the coating layer is related with the critical load for radial cracking of the shell. The finite element analysis was used to drive the semi-empirical equation for the strength measurement. The SiC hemispherical shells were successfully recovered from the section-grinding of TRISO coated particle and successive heat treatment in air. The strength of CVD-SiC coating layer was evaluated from the experimentally measured critical load during the indentation on SiC hemisphere shell. Weibull diagram of fracture strength was also constructed. This study suggested a new strength equation and experimental method to measure the fracture strength of CVD-SiC coating of TRISO coated fuel particles.

For the lower-temperature preparation of calcium monoaluminate(CA, C:CaO, A:$Al_2O_3$) clinker which is hard to synthesize purely within its melting point, an equimolar hydrate was obtained and then used as a starting raw material of clinker burning. The hydrate was prepared from a mixture of waste oyster shell and industrial aluminium hydroxide by heating to $1200^{\circ}C$, grinding and mixing with water. The hydrate was composed of amorphous aluminium hydroxide and $C_3AH_6$(H:$H_2O$) formed by resolution-precipitation mechanism of the system C-A-H. By heating the hydrate, nearly pure and porous calcium monoaluminate clinker was formed at $1400^{\circ}C$ which is fairly lower temperature than that of its melting point. The formation of calcium monoaluminate was performed mainly by the reaction between amorphous alumina and $C_{12}A_7$ caused by the decomposition of $C_3AH_6$. The immediate and earlier formation of $C_{12}A_7$ seemed to be accelerated by not only high surface area and instability of the thermally decomposed hydrate but also the catalytic effect of water decomposed from the hydrate. The final calcium monoaluminate clinker was very porous because of the influence of highly porous shape of the thermally decomposed hydrate.

As the proportion of renewable energy generation is expected to increase, public power generation businesses need to actively consider implementing the expansion of biomass mixing, In this study, the biomass co-firing rate is being changed from 0wt.% to 5.0wt.% at 500MW coal-fired power plant, measuring the major operation characteristics of the pulverizer. First, the composition analysis and grinding characteristics of lignocelluosic biomass were examined, and the effect of volume increase on dirrerential bowl pressure difference, motor current, coal spillage, outlet temperature, and internal fire count was analyzed. As the co-firing rate increased, it was confirmed that the difference in the differential bowl pressure, motor current, and coal spillage treated increased, and the outlet temperature was minimal. The number of internal fires is difficult to find a clear correlation, but it has been confirmed that it is highly likely to occur in combination with other driving factors.

This paper describes the machining characteristics of the $MoSi_2$ based composites by electric discharge drilling with various tubular electrodes, besides, Hardness characteristics and microstructures of $Nb/MoSi_2$ laminate composites were evaluated from the variation of fabricating conditions such as preparation temperature, applied pressure and pressure holding time. $MoSi_2$ -based composites has been developed in new materials for jet engine of supersonic-speed airplanes and gas turbine for high- temperature generator. Achieving this objective may require new hard materials with high strength and high temperature-resistance. However, With the exception of grinding, traditional machining methods are not applicable to these new materials. Electric discharge machining (EDM) is a thermal process that utilizes a spark discharge to melt a conductive material, the tool electrode being almost non-unloaded, because there is no direct contact between the tool electrode and the workpiece. By combining a nonconducting ceramics with more conducting ceramic it was possible to raise the electrical conductivity. From experimental results, it was found that the lamination from Nb sheet and $MoSi_2$ powder was an excellent strategy to improve hardness characteristics of monolithic $MoSi_2$. However, interfacial reaction products like (Nb, Mo)$SiO_2$ and $Nb_2Si_3$ formed at the interface of $Nb/MoSi_2$ and increased with fabricating temperature. $MoSi_2$ composites which a hole drilling was not possible by the conventional machining process, enhanced the capacity of ED-drilling by adding $NbSi_2$ relative to that of SiC or $ZrO_2$ reinforcements.

In order to leach Au and Ag from gold-silver bearing sulfide concentrate, the sulfide concentrate was ground in a ball mill for a dry pre-treatment and a wet pre-treatment process. Mineralogical studies and thiourea leaching experiments were carried out with the pre-treated sulfide concentrate. The results of the pre-treatment with the concentrate samples showed the mean particle size and iso-electrical potential was smaller in the dry pre-treatment sample than in the concentrate sample, and the contents was lower in the wet pre-treatment sample than in the dry pre-treatment sample. In XRD analysis, amorphous properties were only shown in the wet pretreatment sample. The results of the concentrate sample leaching experiments showed that the best Au, Ag leaching parameters were when the addition of thiourea was at a 1.0 g concentration, ferric sulfate was 1.0 M, sulfuric acid was 2.0 M and the leaching temperature was at $60^{\circ}C$. The Au, Ag leaching rate was always much greater and faster with the wet pre-treatment samples than with the dry pre-treatment samples. Accordingly, it is expected that more Au, Ag can be leached in an eco-friendly methodology using wet pre-treatment. The pre-treatment could be improved with an optimized grinding additive reagent and through researching grinding time in future non-cyanide processes.
