In order to evaluate the pollution potential of agricultural crops after the construction of Onsan Industrial Complex (non-ferrous metal refineries), concentrations of hazardous heavy metals were analyzed for crop samples (rice, barley, soybean, vegetables and fruits) grown near the Complex in 1978. Although a slight difference was found among the kinds, parts and growing regions of the crops, no definite tendency was observed. The mean/maximum concentrations of crop samples were 0.23/4.0ppm As, 0.4/1.2 ppm Cd, 4.88/12.7ppm Cu, 0.09/0.4 ppm Hg, 3.86/5.0 ppm Pb and 41.3/105 ppm Zn, which may serve as the natural background data for this region.

본 논문에서는 오존층 파괴 및 지구 온난화에 악영향을 미치는 할로겐화합물 소화약제를 대체하여 개발된 청정소화약제인 할로겐화합물 청정소화약제(Halocarbon clean agent)의 열분해 생성물(thermal decomposition products)의 영향에 평가하고자 한다. 이를 위해 할로겐화합물 청정소화약제인 HFC-125가 화원 크기의 변화에 따른 열분해 생성물의 미치는 영향을 측정하기 위해 소화시험을 실시하였고 금속(철), 비철금속(구리), 유리 시편의 부식성과 전자부품(SD-Card) 작동여부를 평가 하였다. 금속 및 비철금속 시편의 부식성을 측정하기 위해 디지털 카메라를 통해 이미지를 촬영하고 그래픽 편집 소프트웨어를 이용하여 채도(saturation)를 측정하여 부식성의 정도를 분석하였다. 금속, 비철금소, 유리 시편의 부식성 분석 결과, 화원의 크기가 증가할수록 금속 및 비철금속의 부식성이 증가하였다. 즉, 화원의 크기(fire size)에 따라 열분해 생성물질도 증가하여 금속 및 비철금속의 부식을 증가시키는 것으로 사료된다.

The Metal Magnetic Memory (MMM) method is a non-destructive testing method based on an analysis of the self-magnetic leakage field distribution on the surface of a component. It is used for determining the stress concentration zones or any irregularities on the surface or inside the components fabricated from ferrous-based materials. Thus, this paper presents the MMM signal behaviour due to the application of fatigue loading. A series of MMM data measurements were performed to obtain the magnetic leakage signal characteristics at the elastic, pre-crack and crack propagation regions that might be caused by residual stresses when cyclic loadings were applied onto the A283 Grade C steel specimens. It was found that the MMM method was able to detect the defects that occurred in the specimens. In addition, a justification of the Self Magnetic Flux Leakage patterns is discussed for demonstrating the effectiveness of this method in assessing the A283 Grade C steel under cyclic loadings.

Multiple CeO$_2$/YSZ/Y$_2$O$_3$buffer layers, and subsequent YBCO films were deposited on the biaxially textured pure Ni and Ni ＋ 3at％W substrates using pulsed laser deposition. The deposition conditions of buffer layers on Ni and NiW were studied and compared. Good biaxial textures of buffer layers have been obtained on both substrates. The Jc's of YBCO films on these metal substrates were greater than 1$\times$10$^{6}$ A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 77K, 0T.

Laser aided Direct Metal Tooling(DMT) process is a kind of Additive Manufacturing processes (or 3D-Printing processes), which is developed for using various commercial steel powders such as P20, P21, SUS420, H13, D2 and other non-ferrous metal powders, aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, copper alloys and so on. The DMT process is a versatile process which can be applied to various fields like the mold industry, the medical industry, and the defense industry. Among of them, the application of DMT process to the mold industry is one of the most attractive and practical applications since the conformal cooling channel core of injection molds can be fabricated at the slightly expensive cost by using the hybrid fabrication method of DMT technology compared to the part fabricated with the machining technology. The main objectives of this study are to provide various characteristics of the parts made by DMT process compared to the same parts machined from bulk materials and prove the performance of the injection mold equipped with the conformal cooling channel core which is fabricated by the hybrid method of DMT process.

Synthesis of inorganic nanophase particles was performed to verify and understand the binding of non-ferrous metal ions including Al and $UO_2$ to the apoferritin molecules. Reconstituted inorganic particles of Al or $UO_2$ were identified by TEM as discrete electron dense cores encapsulated within the protein shell. The corresponding EDXA spectra confirm the presence of metal ions in the reconstituted ferritin. The Al cores of ferritin has been studied by TEM for the first time. Bimetallic cores with Al/Fe and $UO_2/Al$ were also produced and examined under TEM. Mixed metal cores encapsulated in the protein shell are well formed and its corresponding EDXA spectra also confirm the presence of metal ions in the mineral cores. Therefore, the present study proves that ferritin can be used to synthesize inorganic nanophase particles of Al and $UO_2$.

Tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding is commonly used in industries that require airtightness, watertightness, oiltightness, and precision. It is a non-consumable welding method that is commonly used for the welding of non-ferrous metals, but it can be used to weld most metals. The methods of TIG welding can be divided into three types. The first, manual welding is done directly on the metal by a welder with a torch. The second, semi-automatic welding, gets help from a material supplying machine, but it is conducted by a welder. Lastly, automated welding is conducted fully by a machine during its process and operation. Depending on the selection of electrode, the amount of heat that is applied to the base material and the electrode rod changes and makes the shape of welded parts different. A direct-current positive electrode was used for this study. Through the change of shielding gas type on a structural steel (SS-400) that is commonly used in industry, the composition and shape changes in welded parts were detected after welding. The heat-affected area, hardness value, and tensile strength were also identified through hardness testing and tensile testing. In this study, it was found that the higher hardness value of the heat-affected is, the weaker the tensile strength becomes.

As a considerable, experimental approach, an autocarriage type of $CO_2$ welding machine and a MIG(metal inert gas) welding robot in the inert gas atmosphere were utilized in order to realize Al 5083 welding to hull and relevant components of green leisure ships. This study aims at investigating the effect of welding conditions(current, voltage, welding speed, etc.) on thermal deformation that occurs as welding operation and tensile characteristics after welding, by using Al 5083, nonferrous material, applied to manufacturing of eco-environmental leisure ships. With respect to welding condition to minimize the thermal deformation, 150 A and 16 V at the wire-feed rate of 6 mm/sec were acquired in the process of welding Al 5083 through an auto carriage type of $CO_2$ welding feeder. As to tensile characteristics of Al 5083 welding through a MIG welding robot, most of tensile specimens showed the fracture behavior on HAZ(heat affected zone) located at the area joined with weld metal, except for some cases. Especially, for the case of the Al specimen with 5 mm thickness, 284.62 MPa of tensile strength and 11.41 % of elongation were obtained as an actual allowable tensile stress-strain value. Mostly, after acquiring the optimum welding condition, the relevant welding data and technical requirements might be provided for actual welding operation site and welding procedure specification (WPS).

This study sought to evaluate the mechanism of cellular injury caused by ferrous sulfate (FeSO₄) and the protective effects of Parnassia palustris L. (PP) extract against FeSO₄-induced cytotoxicity of cultured C6 glioma cells. FeSO₄ is known to cause neurotoxicity and induce Parkinson's disease. The antioxidative effects of PP, such as superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like and superoxide anion-radical (SAR)-scavenging activities, as well as effects on cell viability, were studied. FeSO₄ significantly decreased cell viability in a dose-dependent manner and the XTT₅₀ value, the concentration of FeSO₄ which reduced the cell viability by half, was measured at 63.3 μM in these cultures. FeSO₄ was estimated to be highly cytotoxic by the Borenfreund and Puerner toxicity criteria. Quercetin, an antioxidant, significantly improved cell viability, damaged by FeSO₄-induced cytotoxicity. While evaluating the protective effects of the PP extract on FeSO₄-induced cytotoxicity, it was observed that the extract significantly increased cell viability compared to the FeSO₄-treated group. Also, the PP extract showed superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like and superoxide anion radical (SAR)-scavenging activities. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that FeSO₄ induced oxidative stress-related cytotoxicity, and the PP extract effectively protected against this cytotoxicity via its antioxidative effects. In conclusion, natural antioxidant sources such as PP may be agents useful for preventing oxidative stress-related cytotoxicity induced by heavy metal compounds such as the FeSO₄, a known Parkinsonism inducer.
