Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the change of microstructures and mechanical properties of pure titanium casting specimens as a function of mold temperatures. Methods: The pure titanium castings were fabricated using the centrifugal vacuum casting method with different mold temperatures of $200{\sim}500^{\circ}C$. The resulting castings were characterized by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and vicker,s hardness tester. Results: In case of the mold temperatures over $400^{\circ}C$, the porosity, surface crack and large grain size were observed in resulting castings. Conclusion: In this work, The most suitable mold temperature in casting of pure titanium was $300^{\circ}C$.

Titanium was melted in the CaO-coated alumina crucible and the reaction between the melt and the coating layer was negligible. The volume fraction of the gas porosity was decreased with increasing pressure and the sound bar castings with no porosity was obtained under the Ar atmosphere of the pressure of $300kN/mm^2$. The surface of the casting obtained from CaO-coated graphite mold was slightly rougher than that from graphite without coating. The reaction product of titanium melt with the layer of CaO was mainly titanium oxide and that with graphite crucible was titanium cabide with small amount of titanium nitride.

Mechanical and chemical methods are the two ways to treat the implant surfaces. By using mechanical method, it is difficult to eliminate bacteria and by-products from the rough implant surface and it can also cause the structural change to the implant surface. Therefore, chemical method is widely used in order to preserve and detoxicate the implant surface more effectively. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of tetracylcline-hydrochloride(TC-HCI) on the change of implant surface microstructure according to application time. Implants with pure titanium machined surface, SLA surface and porous surface were used in this study. Implant surface was rubbed with sponge soaked in 50mg/ml TC-HCI solution for $\frac{1}{2}$ min., 1 min., $1\frac{1}{2}$ min., 2 min., and $2\frac{1}{2}$ min. respectively in the test group and with no treatment in the control group. Then, specimens were processed for scanning electron microscopic observation. 1. Both test and control group showed a few shallow grooves and ridges in pure titanium machined surface implants. There were not significant differences between two groups. 2. In the SLA surfaces, the control specimen showed that the macro roughness was achieved by large-grit sandblasting. Subsequently, the acid-etching process created the micro roughness, which thus was superimposed on the macro roughness. Irrespective of the application time of 50mg/ml TC-HCI solution, in general, test specimens were similar to control. 3. In the porous surfaces, the control specimen showed spherical particles of titanium alloy and its surface have a few shallow ridges. The roughness of surfaces conditioned with tetracycline-HCI was lessened and seen crater-like irregular surfaces relative to the application time. In conclusion, pure titanium machined surfaces and SLA surfaces weren't changed irrespective of the application time of tetracycline-HCI solution. But the porous surfaces conditioned with tetracycline-HCI solution began to be slightly changed from 2 min. This results are expected to be applied to the regenerative procedures for peri-implantitis treatment.

The characteristics and adhesion strength of TiN layer deposited by D. C. magnetron sputtering were investigated. Three types of TiN layers were deposited on STS304 stainless steel. Scratch tests were performed to determine the effect of deposition temperature, the thickness of coated TiN layer and the titanium inter-layer on the adhesion strength. TiN multilayer with titanium inter-layer showed the highest critical load in the deposition temperature range of $25^{\circ}C$ to $300^{\circ}C$. Adhesion strength of TiN multilayer with titanium inter-layer was raised from 15N to 20N by raising deposition temperature from $25^{\circ}C$ to $400^{\circ}C$. Adhesion strength was raised from 18N to 38N by increasing the thickness of outer layer of TiN multilayer from 2.1 $\mu\textrm{m}$ to 9.5 $\mu\textrm{m}$.

Ti-0 film is a kind of biocompatible surface materials. In this paper, a new method, glow discharge plasma oxidizing, has been used in synthesizing Ti-O gradient films on Ti6A14V substrates. The effects of ion bombardment and process parameters on the structures of titanium oxide layers have been investigated. The results demonstrate that DC glow plasma oxidizing is more efficient in preparation of dense, hard, and high adhesive Ti-O biomedical films on titanium and its alloys. Samples treated by this method show higher hardness values than by others. Especially, in the condition of hollow cathode discharge, the ion bombardment enhances ionization of oxygen, promotes the oxygen permeation and facilitates the formation of the oxide of low valence states of titanium.

본 연구에서는 티타늄 산화막을 상온에서 HCP (hollow cathode plasma) 반응기에 의하여 증착하였다. HCP 반응기에 대한 시뮬레이션 결과, 전극에서의 열 발생에 관계없이 기판 표면에서의 온도분포는 일정하였다. 그리고 전극과의 거리가 증가하면서 기판 표면에서의 유체는 일정한 것으로 나타났으며, 표면 조도는 거리에 따라 감소하였다. 출력이 증가할수록 산소의 조성은 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 출력이 240 watt와 반응 거리가 3 cm에서 Ti와 O의 비율이 1 : 2에 가깝게 결합이 이루어졌다.

This work investigated the effect of duty cycle and pulse frequency on the microstructures and properties of titanium nitride thin films deposited by asymmetric bipolar pulsed DC sputtering system. Oscilloscope traces of the I-V waveforms indicate high power and high current density outputs during the asymmetric bipolar pulsed mode. The grain size decreases with decreasing duty cycle. The duty cycle has a strong influence not only on the microstructural properties but also on the mechanical properties of titanium nitride films. Comparing with the continuous DC sputtering, the titanium nitride films prepared by pulsed DC asymmetric bipolar process exhibit better properties.

Multi-level thin films are very important in ULSI applications because of their high electromigration resistance. This study presents the effects of titanium, titanium nitride and titanium tungsten underlayers of the stability of multi-aluminum thin films during isothermal annealing. High purity Al(99.999%) films have been electron-beam evaporated on Ti, TiN, TiW films formed on SiO2/Si (P-type(100))-wafer substrates by RF-sputtering in Ar gas ambient. The hillock growth was increased with annealing temperatures. Growth of hillocks was observed during isothermal annealing of the thin films by scanning electron microscopy. The hillock growth was believed to appear due to the recrystallization process driven by stress relaxation during isothermal annealing. Thermomigration damage was also presented in thin films by grain boundary grooving processes. It is shown that underlayers of Al/TiN/SiO2, Al/TiW/SiO2 thin films are preferrable to Al/SiO2 thin film metallization.

In this article, the dynamic parameters (frequencies, mode shapes, damping ratios) of the scaled concrete structure and the dynamic parameters (frequencies, mode shapes, damping ratios) of the entire outer surface of titanium dioxide, 80 micron in thickness are compared using operational modal analysis method. Ambient excitation was provided from micro tremor ambient vibration data on ground level. Enhanced Frequency Domain Decomposition (EFDD) was used for the output only modal identification. From this study, a good correlation between mode shapes was found. Titanium dioxide applied to the entire outer surface of the scaled concrete structure has an average of 11.78% difference in frequency values and 10.15% in damping ratios, proving that nanomaterials can be used to increase rigidity in structures, in other words, for reinforcement. Another important result determined in the study was the observation of the adherence of titanium dioxide and similar nanomaterials mentioned in the introduction to concrete structure surfaces was at the highest level.
