The effect of post-irradiation shelf-aging time on the wear of UHMWPE was investigated, and wear results were correlated with the time-dependent microstructural changes of polyethylene after gamma irradiation sterilization. The levels of oxidation and crosslinking in the shelf-aged acetabular liners were examined by FTIR and hot xylene extraction, respectively, and uni-directional repeat pass sliding wear tests were conducted by using a pin-on-disc wear tester. Gamma irradiation sterilization in the air environment caused an increase of oxidation, crosslinking, and wear resistance. With aging, however, oxidation progressed and decreased the level of crosslinking. This resulted in a decrease of wear resistance of UHMWPE that was accompanied with white bands and brittle cracking.

Cr3C2 material is characterized by high chemical stability and poor sinterability with low strength [50~150MPa]. In his study, low melting temperature nickel powder was used to improve sinterability as well as strength. In addition, molydenum particles were added to the Ni-bonded Cr3C2 cermet pseudomatrix to increase resistance to fracture. The specimens made by hot-pressing under vacuum and strength was measured by 4-point bending. Indentation cracking and fractographic examination were conducted to study the interaction of the indentation cracks with the reinforcing particles. Toughening mechanisms and failure will be discussed in terms of crack/particle interactions and compared with previous works.

With the increased use of lasers in industrial welding applications, techniques for monitoring and controlling these processes become increasingly important. It is very important that we understand the dynamic behaviors of the laser induced Plume in welding, because the laser induced plume has considerable effects on welding efficiency and the quality of materials. As the plume fluctuation was associated with keyhole instability, unstable vapor plume indicated the process was unstable and would result in poor welds. An Infrared Thermal-vision Camera can be utilized compensate for incurracies encountered in real-time monitoring during laser welding. We have results that instabilities of plume are closely related with hot cracking and defect of laser welding.

Effectsof carbon content on the weldability of B-containing 620 grade high Cr ferritic cast steels were investigated. Cast steel with lower carbon content of 0.07% showed lower HAZ hardness because of the formation of lower carbon martensite in HAZ. It also showed less solidification cracking susceptibility in weld metal because of the formation of delta ferrite. However, hot ductility showed no difference between cast steels with lower and higher carbon contents. Cast steel with lower carbon content showed greater HAZ softening after PWHT in the region heated between AC1 and AC3 because of its higher base metal hardness.

The effect of post-irradiation shelf-aging time on the wear of orthopaedic grade UHMWPE was investigated, and wear results were correlated with the time-dependent microstructural changes of polyethylene after gamma irradiation sterilization. The levels of oxidation and crosslinking in the shelf-aged acetabular liners were examined by FTIR and hot xylene extraction, respectively, and uni-directional repeat pass sliding wear tests were conducted by using a pin-on-disc wear tester. Gamma irradiation sterilization in the air environment caused an increase of oxidation, crosslinking, and wear resistance. With aging, however, oxidation progressed and decreased the level of crosslinking. This resulted in a decrease of wear resistance of UHMWPE that was accompanied with the existence of white bands and brittle cracking.

Compared with Inconel 625 (ERNiCrMo-3) weld, Nb-free Alloy 59 (ERNiCrMo-13) weld with 15% Mo showed much higher resistance to hot cracking. Especially in the condition of current 350A and 30CPM of welding speed, no crack was detected at Inconel 625 fillet weld. Furthermore, it was found that the strength of Alloy 59 is sensitive to welding heat input. Up to around 14kJ/cm of heat input, Alloy 59 showed 678N/$mm^{2}$ of ultimate strength and 466N/$mm^{2}$ of yield strength. However, as heat input increased above 14kJ/cm, Alloy 59 weld could not satisfy the weld strength required for European LNG tank.

A duplex stainless steel sheet with 1 wt.% gadolinium was fabricated for a neutron absorbing material with high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and low cost as well as high neutron absorption capability. The microstructure of the as-cast specimen has typical duplex phases including 31% ferrite and 69% austenite. Main alloy elements like chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), and gadolinium (Gd) are relatively uniformly distributed in the matrix. Gadolinium rich precipitates were present in the grains and at the grain boundaries. The solution treatment at $1070^{\circ}$ for 50 minutes followed by the hot-rolling above $950^{\circ}$ after keeping the sheet at $1200^{\circ}$ for 1.5 hours are important points of the optimum condition to produce a 6 mm-thick plate without cracking.

6mm 두께의 AISI 316 스테인레스강의 레이저 용접 특성에 대해서 고찰하였다. 3kW C $O_{2}$레이저를 사용하였으며, 레이저 빔은 TE $M_{00}$모우드였고 연속파이었다. 용입 깊이, 비드 폭, 고온 크랙, 가공등의 특성을 고찰하는데 있어서, 레이저 출력은 1kW에서 2.5kW까지, 용접 속도는 5.1m/min까지 적용하였다. 3차원 열전달 방정식에 의한 용입 깊이와 비드 폭에 대한 예측치와 실험 결과를 비교하였는데, 서로 잘 일치하였다.다.

본래 약한 구리계 리드프레임/EMC(Epoxy Molding Compound) 계면의 접착력은 솔더 리플로우 (solder reflow) 공정 중에 종종 박형 플라스틱 패키지의 팝콘 균열 현상(popcorn-cracking phenomena)을 일으킨다. 본 연구에서는 리드프레임/EMC 계면의 접착력을 향상시키기 위하여 리드프레임을 알칼리 용액에 담궈 표면에 brown oxide를 형성시켰으며, EMC로 몰딩(molding)하여 SDCB(Sandwiched Double Cantilever Beam) 시편 및 SBN(Sandwiched Brazil-Nut) 시편을 준비하여 접착력을 측정하였다. 리드프레임의 brown oxide 처리는 미세한 바늘모양의 CuO 결정들을 리드프레임 표면에서 형성시켰으며, 리드프레임/EMC 계면의 접착력을 향상시켰다. 접착력의 향상은 산화층의 평균두께와 직접적인 관련이 있었다. 이는 미세한 바늘모양의 CuO 결정들이 EMC와 기계적인 고착(mechanical interlocking)을 하기 때문으로 생각된다.

아스팔트 콘크리트 포장은 많은 곳에서 쓰여지는 것을 볼 수 있다. 도심지 도로, 고속도로, 주차장, 그리고 자전거 도로에 이용되고 있다. 사용재료의 성질을 보면 비교적 온도에 민감한 재료로 분류될 수 있다. 여름철에는 유연한 성질을 보여주고 있고 겨울철에는 강성의 성질을 보여주고 있다. 포장관리의 측면에서는 손상된 부분에 대해서는 비교적 쉽게 보수할 수 있는 점을 들 수 있다. 그리고 일반적인 아스팔트 포장의 색깔은 검정과 회색으로 구성되어 있음을 알 수 있는데 이들 아스팔트 포장은 다양한 칼라로 표현할 수 있는데 크게 두 가지의 방법으로 칼라포장을 시공할 수 있다. 첫 번째로 시멘트 형태의 칼라도료를 아스팔트 포장에 칠하는 방법으로 도료가 벗겨지는 것을 방지하기 위해서는 주위를 요하는 시공이 요구된다. 두 번째의 방법은 칼라 첨가제를 이용한 칼라 아스팔트 시공을 들 수 있다. 본 방법은 원하는 아스팔트 층에 대해 전체적으로 색을 입히는 방법으로 장점으로는 일반적으로 쓰고 있는 혼합물 배합설계를 이용할 수 있다는 점이다. 단점으로는 주로 빨간색 그리고 갈색으로만 색깔을 표현할 수 있는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 제시된 첨가제를 이용하여 영구변형, 수분민감도 및 피로균열에 대한 공용성을 평가하고자 한다.
