In this work, uniform thickness and good adhesion of electrodeposited copper layer were achieved on AZ91 Mg alloy in alkaline noncyanide copper solution containing pyrophosphate ion by employing appropriate zincate pretreatment. Without zincate pretreatment, the electrodeposited copper layer on AZ91 Mg alloy was porous and showed poor adhesion which was explained by small number of nucleation sites of copper due to rapid dissolution of the magnesium substrate in the pyrophosphate solution. The zincate pretreatment was found as one of the most important steps that can form a conducting layer to cover AZ91 surface which decreased the dissolution rate of AZ91 Mg alloy about 40 times in the copper pyrophosphate solution. Electrodeposited copper layer on AZ91 Mg alloy after an appropriate zincate pretreatment showed good adhesion and uniform thickness with bright surface appearance, independent of the deposition time but the surface roughness of the electrodeposited copper layer increased with increasing Cu deposition time.

The surface-reacted layer of titanium castings greatly affects their mechanical properties. This study analyzed the interfacial zone of Ti-20%Zr-5%Cr alloy castings obtained from phosphate bonded investment and examined the relationship between the surface-reacted layer and hardness. The Vickers hardness of cast disks were tested at 20$\mu m$ intervals from the surface to 120$\mu m$ in depth. The cross-section was observed metallurgically, and line profile of the reacted layer was conducted under the EDX. The surface-reacted layer of Ti-20%Zr-5%Cr alloy is showed a similar tendency to Ti-6%Al-4%V alloy in thickness, and also Si diffusion in multiple reacted layer of Ti-20%Zr-5%Cr alloy is less than cp Ti and similar to Ti-6%Al-4%V alloy. The Vickers hardness in the surface layer was greater than in the inner part, and the Vickers hardness of Ti-20%Zr-5%Cr alloy ranged 650 to 390 and cp Ti ranged 810 to 160, Ti-6%Al-4%V alloy ranged 710 to 530 respectively.

Scratches are observed on a polymer cover-layer of near-field recording (NFR) media after a servo test with rotating disc. The scratches are formed by the collision of a solid immersion lens (SIL)-media. One of the possible ways to avoid the scratch problem is to coat a dielectric protective film on the polymer cover-layer which enhances the hardness of the surface. The surface with hard characteristics in the surface reduces the scratch problem in the cover-layer. Not only the mechanical properties but also the optical properties should be controlled. Specifically, the refractive index of the dielectric protective film should be matched with the polymer cover-layer not to lose light at the interface due to the difference of the refractive index. The refractive index of the dielectric film can be tailored by controlling process parameters during sputtering and matched with that of the polymer cover-layer.

Spatial distribution of binding state in depth direction is investigated in a hard skin layer on soft polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) fabricated by Ar ion beam irradiations. The hard skin layer known as a silica-like homogenous layer was composed of two layers. Impinging Ar ions transfer energy to PDMS as a function of collisional energy transfer rate, which is the maximum at surface and decreases gradually as an ion penetrates. This formed the heterogeneous hard skin layer that consists of a top-most layer and an intermediate layer. XPS depth profiling showed the existence of the top-most layer and intermediate layer. In the top-most layer, scission and cross-linking were occurred simultaneously and Si-O bond showed dissociated status, SiOx (x = 1.25 - 1.5). Under the top-most layer, there was the intermediate layer in which cross-linking is mainly occurred and Si-O bond showed silica-like binding status, SiOx (x = 1.75 - 2). And theoretical analysis which calculates the collisional energy transfer and a displacement per atom explained the thickness variation of top-most layer according to Ar ion energy from 360 eV to 840 eV.

To produce stable polymer coating layer using the interaction between metal stent and polymer layer, Ahx-HSAB was synthesized by coupling 6-aminoheanoic acid (Ahx) with N-Hydroxy succinimidyl 4-azidobenzonate (HSAB) containing photo reactive group. Then, Ahx-HSAB was applied to self·assembled monolayer (SAM) on $TiO_2$-coated surface, since one end of Ahx-HSAB was carboxyl acid which was known to be able to interact with $TiO_2$ surface. That SAM layer was incubated in 1% polycaprolacton (PCL) solution and photoreacted by ultraviolet light (254 nm) to produce the chemical bond between SAM and polymer layer, followed by PCL polymer coating ({\sim}5\;{\mu}m$) by the method of spray coating. The surface change was investigated by measuring of contact angle of the surface. The contact angle values of stainless steel (SS) surface, $TiO_2$-coated surface, SAM layer by Ahx-HSAB, photoreacted surface with PCL and PCL layer by spray coating were 70.48${\pm}$1.89, 38.57${\pm}$3.31, 60.14${\pm}$2.21, 54.91${\pm}$2.70 and 56.47${\pm}$2.12, respectively. The stability of polymer layers was tested by incubation of PCL-coated plates in 0.1M PBS buffer (pH 7.4, 0.05%, Tween 80) with vigorous shaking (200 rpm). While the poiymer layer prepared by these processes showed the intact surface morphology over 3 days, the polymer layers prepared by spray coating of PCL onto SS plate (control 1) and $TiO_2$-coated SS plate (control 2) were Peeled off in 3 days. Thus, the polymer coating method using SAM and photoreaction seems to be a effective method to obtain the stable polymer layer onto SS surface.

In this study, residual stress and surface roughness were investigated experimentally to evaluate surface integrity on surface layer machined by CBN, ceramics and WC cutting tools. When machining difficult-to-cut material (hardened STD11 steel $H_{R}$C 60), residual stresses remaining in machined surface layer were mainly compressive. The increase of flank wear caused a shift of the compressive residual stress maximum to greater workpiece depths, but the changes did not penetrate the workpiece beneath a depth of 300 .mu. m. Surface roughness was influenced considerably by variations of the cutting speed and feed. In machining hard material, CBN and A1$_{2}$ $O_{3}$ ceramics cutting tool materials proved significantly superior to mixed ceramics A1$_{2}$ $O_{3}$-TiC and WC in evaluation of surface integrity.y.

This paper deals with wear characteristics of ion-nitrided metal theoretically and experimentally in order to analysis of wear phenomena. Wear tests show that compound layer of ion-nitrided metal reduces wear rate when the applied wear load is mall. However, as th load becomes large, the existence of compound layer tends to increase wear rate. The residual stress at the surface of ion-nitrided metal is measured, and the internal stress distribution is calculated when the normal and tangential forces are applied to the surface of metal. Compressive residual stress is largeest at the compound layer, and decreases as the depth from the surface increases. Calculation shows that the maximum stress exists at a certain depth from the surface when normal and tangential force are applied, and that the larger the wear load is the deeper the location of maximum stress becomes. In the analysis, it is found that under small applied wear load the critical depth, where voids and cracks may be created and propagated, is located at the compound layer, as the adhesive wear, where hardness is an important factor, is created the existence of compound layer reduces the amount of wear. When the load becomes large the critical depth is located below the compound layer, and delamination, which may be explained by surface deformation, crack nucleation and propagation, is created, and the existence of compound layer increases wear rate.

A new algorithm has been developed to construct surface from the contours having branches and the final smooth surface is obtained by the reversible Catmull-Clark subdivision. In branching, a particular layer has more than one contour that correspond with at least one contour at the adjacent layer. In the next step, three-dimensional composite curve is constructed from contours of a layer having correspondence with at least one contour at the adjacent layer by inserting points between them and joining the contours. The points are inserted in such a way that the geometric center of the contours should merge at the center of the contours at the adjacent layer. This process is repeated for all layers having branching problems. Polyhedra are constructed in the next step with the help of composite curves and the contours at adjacent layer. The required smooth surface is obtained in the proposed work by providing the level of smoothness.

The reversal of a silicon chip to find out its security structure is common and possible at the present time. Thanks to reversing, it is possible to use a probing attack to obtain useful information such as personal information or a cryptographic key. For this reason, security-related blocks such as DES (Data Encryption Standard), AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), and RSA (Rivest Shamir Adleman) engines should be located in the lower layer of the chip to guard against a probing attack; in this regard, the addition of a silicon-surface-protection layer onto the chip surface is a crucial protective measure. But, for manufacturers, the implementation of an additional silicon layer is burdensome, because the addition of just one layer to a chip significantly increases the overall production cost; furthermore, the chip size is increased due to the bulk of the secure logic part and routing area of the silicon protection layer. To resolve this issue, this paper proposes a practical silicon-surface-protection method using a metal layer that increases the security level of the chip while minimizing its size and cost. The proposed method uses a shift register for the alternation and variation of the metal-layer data, and the inter-connection area is removed to minimize the size and cost of the chip in a more extensive manner than related methods.

The research described in this paper was conducted to estimate the stability and heat budget in planetary boundary layer (PBL) at Kimhae. The upper air observation was carried out during period from 3 Februsry 1993 to 5 February 1993 at Kimhae. The surface observation data used the one during period from 1 April 1994 to 31 March 1995. The maximum height of inversion layer observed at Kimhae was 310 m. Destruction of the inversion was simultaneously occurred at the surface and the mid-layer (200 $\sim$ 300 m), however the origin of destruction is different each other. The surface inversion is destructed by surface heating owing to growing radiation in surface but disappearance of the mid-layer inversion is related to the upper cold air movement.
