금속 임플란트 재료들의 마모저항을 향상시키기 위하여 질소 이온주입 및 이온도금 기술을 적용하였다. 질소 이온주입 된 초내식성 스테인리스강(S.S.S)의 마모이온용출 특성을 S.S.S, 316L SS, TiN코팅된 316S SS와 비교 평가하기 위하여 탄소로 원자흡수분광분석기를 이용하여 시편들로부터 마모용출된 Cr과 Ni 이온량을 측정하였다. 또한, 저온아크증착법을 이용하여 TiN, ZrN, TiCN코팅된 Ti(Grade 2)원반의 마모저항을 비교하였고, 질소이온주입 및 질화물 코팅된 표면충의 화학적 조성은 SAES(scanning Auger electron spectroscopy)를 이용하여 분석하였다. 질소 이온주입된 S.S.S 표면으로부터 마모에 의하여 용출된 Cr과 Ni 이온량은 표면처리하지 않은 스테인리스강들에 비하여 크게 감소하였다 그러나 인공고관절에 걸리는 하중조건 하에서 실행된 마모이온용출실험에서 이온에너지 100 KeV로 질소이온 주입된 표면층은 20만회 내에서 쉽게 제거되었다. 질화물 코팅된 Ti 시편들의 마모저항도 크게 향상되었고, 그 마모특성은 코팅층의 화학적 조성에 따라 크게 차이가 났다. 코팅두께 3Um의 코팅시편들 중 TiCN 코팅된 티타늄이 가장 높은 내마모 특성을 보였으나 같은 하중조건 하에서 disk(Ti)-on-disk 마모실험에서 그 질화물 코팅면들의 마모 무게감 소비는 1만회 아래에서 모두 Ti의 마모비와 유사하게 전환되었다. 본 실험으로부터 얻어진 연구결과에 의하면, 100 KeV 질소이온주입 및 두께 3$\mu\textrm{m}$의 길화코팅된 표면층의 경우 표면 경화충의 깊이가 충분치 않아 높은 하중을 받는 임플란트의 마찰부위에 사용하기에는 한계가 있음을 보였다.

In this study, the effect of Nb alloying element on the corrosion fatigue properties of high strength steel is investigated by conducting fatigue experiments under corrosive condition and hydrogen induced condition, potentiodynamic polarization test, tensile test and surface analyses. Nb element is added to enhance the mechanical property of medium carbon steel. This element forms MX-type phases such as carbides and nitrides which are playing an important role in the grain refinement. The grain refinement is one of the effective way to improve mechanical property because both tensile strength and toughness can be improved at the same time. However, MX-type phase precipitates can be a susceptible site to localized corrosion in corrosive environment due to the potential difference between matrix and precipitate. The obtained results showed that Nb-added steel improved corrosion fatigue property by grain refinement. However, it is degraded for hydrogen-induced fatigue property due to Nb, Ti-inclusions acting as a stronger trap.

According to conventional nitriding of tool steels, it was very difficult to produce a high surface hardness. This study has been conducted to investigate the influence of initial structures on the nitriding characteristics of tool steels in gas-nitrided for the improvement in surface hardness. The specimens (SACM645, STD61 steels) have been quenching and tempering at various temperature and then gas-nitrided for 30, 45 and 60hr at 500, 530 and $550^{\circ}C$ respectively in gasatmosphere of 30%$NH_3-70%N_2$ As hardness of initial structure was higher, the nitriding layer was deeper and hardness of the nitriding layer was higher. Deeper nitriding layers was due to higher diffusion rate by fine initial microstructure. Also the reason of high surface hardness was associated with formation of dispersed fine carbonitrides of nitrides.

This paper developed the chassis part as micro-alloyed steel with high toughness. The performance of micro-alloy steels are superior to similar heat treated steels. The strengthening effects of vanadium make micro-alloyed steels particularly suited for high-strength-steel applications. The disadvantages are that ductility and toughness are not as good as quenched and tempered (Q&T) steels. Precipitation hardening increases strength but may contribute to brittleness. Toughness can be improved by reducing carbon content and titanium additions. dispersed titanium nitrides (TiN) formed by titanium additions effectively prevents grain coarsening. Grain refinement increases strength but also improves toughness. For the chassis parts using high toughness micro-alloy steel, it had proven superior to a plain steel forging by static strength test and endurance test.

An experimental method to investigate the fracture strength and fracture toughness for the silicon nitrides sintered at various sintering temperature is established. The erosion rate for these materials in the various concentration of NaOH solution is also investigated. In result, the fracture strength of Si3N4 is decreased with the increase of sintering temperature. On the other hand, the fracture toughness KIC is increased with the increase of sintering temperature. The erosion rate of silicon nitride in the NaOH solution depend largely on the grain size and the concentration of NaOH solution. The erosion rate of silicon nitride sintered at $1800^{\circ}C$ was much higher than that at $1950^{\circ}C$. These results are due to the unique columnar structure of silicon nitride.

Elemental powders are used in high energy milling processes for the synthesis of new compounds. The low temperature solid state reactions during milling in inert gas atmosphere may result in intermetallic phases, carbides, nitrides or silicides with a nanocrystalline structure. To obtain dense materials from the powders a pressure assisted densification is necessary. On the other side the defect-rich microstructure can be used for activated sintering of elemental powder mixtures to obtain dense bodies by pressureless sintering. Results are discussed for nanocrystalline cermet systems and for the sintering of aluminides and silicides.

Highly temperature stable mesoporous materials have excellent properties and potential applications. Here we show a novel poly(vinyl)silazane-block-polystyrene diblock copolymer, which was synthesized by controlled/living free radical polymerization with reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) route. The obtained diblock copolymer occurs the phaseseparation on the nanoscale to form ordered nanostructure, which is converted to mesoprorous ceramic after heating at 800oC. This route demonstrates the preparation of highly temperature stable mesoporous silicon carbon nitrides (SiCN) ceramic film directed from highly cross-linking poly(vinyl)silazane blocks with high ceramic yield, which is different from previous pathway.

A parametric cmpariosn of etch rate and etch selectivity has been performed for GaN, InN and AIN etched in chlorine- and boron halides-based Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) discharges. Chlorine-based chemistries produced controllable etch rates (50~150 nm/min) and maximum etch selectivities ~6 for InN over GaN and ~10 for InN over AlN. Maximum etch selectivities of ~100 for InN over GaN and InN over AlN were obtained in boron halides-based discharges and smooth etched surface morphologies were also achieved.

Single phase niobium nitride (NbN) coatings were deposited using asymmetric bipolar pulsed dc sputtering by varying pulse frequency and duty cycle of pulsed plasmas. Crystal structure, microstructure, morphology and mechanical properties were examined using XRD, FE-SEM, AFM and nanoindentation. Upon increasing pulse frequencies and decreasing duty cycles, the coating morphology was changed from a pyramidal-shaped columnar structure to a round-shaped dense structure with finer grains. Asymmetric bipolar pulsed dc sputtered NbN coatings deposited at pulse frequency of 25 kHz is characterized by higher hardness up to 17.4 GPa, elastic modulus up to 193.9 GPa, residual compressive stress and a smaller grain size down to 27.5 nm compared with dc sputtered NbN coatings at pulse frequency of 0 kHz. The results suggest that the asymmetric bipolar pulsed dc sputtering technique is very beneficial to reactive deposition of transition-metal nitrides such as NbN coatings.

Various piezoelectric nanostructures have been extensively studied for competitive energy harvesting applications. Here, GaN nanowires grown by a nonconventional magnetic field-assisted chemical vapor deposition process were investigated to characterize the piezoelectric energy harvesting characteristics. As a controlling parameter, only the growth time was changed from 15 min to 90 min to obtain different crystallinity and morphology of the nanowires. Energy harvesting characteristics were found to depend largely on the growth time. A longer growth time tended to lead to an increased output current, which is reasonable when considering the enhanced charge potentials and crystallinity. A maximum output current of ~14.1 nA was obtained for the 90 min-processed nanowires.
