본 연구는 레이저 침탄된 TiZrN 코팅층의 탄소확산거동 측면과 이에 따른 기계적 특성 변화를 연구·고찰하였다. TiZrN 코팅에 탄소페이스트를 도포한 후, 레이저를 조사하여 침탄시켰다. 침탄 이후에 (111)상에 해당하는 XRD 피크가 저각으로 이동하여, 도핑된 탄소에 의한 격자팽창을 보여주었다. 아울러, 투입된 탄소의 입계 확산에 의한 결정립의 크기가 감소하였다. 침입된 탄소의 결합상태를 확인하기 위한 XPS 분석결과, 레이저의 열에너지를 통해 탄소가 TiZrN내 질소 원자와 치환되어 탄화물(TiC 또는 ZrC)을 보였다. 아울러, sp2와 sp3 혼성화 결합이 혼재하는 상태를 보여 비정질 탄소가 형성된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 침탄 전후 TiZrN 코팅층의 단면 TEM 이미지와 inverse FFT 분석결과, 격자 중간에 물결형상이 관찰되어 결정립계 내 비정질 상의 형성을 보여주었다. 침탄 후 경도는 34.57 G Pa에서 38.24 G Pa로 증가하였으며, 마찰계수는 83 % 감소하였다. 특히, 외부 하중에 저항하는 지표로 활용되는 H/E는 0.11에서 0.15으로 증가하였고 wear rate는 65 % 개선되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구목적은 열간압연용 런-아웃 테이블 롤러 표면의 기계적 성질을 개선하기 위해 다공질 자용성 합금으로 피복하는 방법을 개발하는 것이다. 열간압연에서 런-아웃 테이블의 롤러 내구성을 높이기 위해서는 고온에서 롤러표면의 경도를 높게 유지해야 하고, 내마모성, 내식성, 내열성, 내소부성 및 내응착성의 향상을 유지하여야 한다. 또한, 고온의 열연 강판을 안정적으로 이송할 수 있도록 하기 위해서는 롤러표면에 적절한 마찰계수를 유지하도록 하여야 하고, 롤러와 강판 사이에 미끄럼 발생이 없어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 자용성 합금에 텅스텐카바이드를 첨가시켜 서메트화하여 롤러의 내마모성을 증대시켰고, 미세 철분말을 롤러표면에 피복하여 다공질을 만들어 마찰계수를 높이고 붙잡음성을 향상시켰다. 그 결과, Ni-Cr 피복 롤러에 비하여 다공질 자용성 합금 피복 롤러는 피복층에 철분이 5 ~ 10 wt%로 많이 함유되어 재용융 공정에서 전기로로 가열하여 일부분만 합금화되고 나머지는 산화 및 용해에 의해 탈락되어 다공질로 나타나 강판과의 붙잡음성을 향상시켰다.

For the coating of diamond films on WC-Co tools, a buffer interlayer is needed because Co catalyzes diamond into graphite. W and Ti were chosen as candidate interlayer materials to prevent the diffusion of Co during diamond deposition. W or Ti interlayer of $1{\mu}m$ thickness was deposited on WC-Co substrate under Ar in a DC magnetron sputter. After seeding treatment of the interlayer-deposited specimens in an ultrasonic bath containing nanometer diamond powders, $2{\mu}m$ thick nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) films were deposited at $600^{\circ}C$ over the metal layers in a 2.45 GHz microwave plasma CVD system. The cross-sectional morphology of films was observed by FESEM. X-ray diffraction and visual Raman spectroscopy were used to confirm the NCD crystal structure. Micro hardness was measured by nano-indenter. The coefficient of friction (COF) was measured by tribology test using ball on disk method. After tribology test, wear tracks were examined by optical microscope and alpha step profiler. Rockwell C indentation test was performed to characterize the adhesion between films and substrate. Ti and W were found good interlayer materials to act as Co diffusion barriers and diamond nucleation layers. The COFs on NCD films with W or Ti interlayer were measured as less than 0.1 whereas that on bare WC-Co was 0.6~1.0. However, W interlayer exhibited better results than Ti in terms of the adhesion to WC-Co substrate and to NCD film. This result is believed to be due to smaller difference in the coefficients of thermal expansion of the related films in the case of W interlayer than Ti one. By varying the thickness of W interlayer as 1, 2, and $4{\mu}m$ with a fixed $2{\mu}m$ thick NCD film, no difference in COF and wear behavior but a significant change in adhesion was observed. It was shown that the thicker the interlayer, the stronger the adhesion. It is suggested that thicker W interlayer is more effective in relieving the residual stress of NCD film during cooling after deposition and results in stronger adhesion.

Non-ferrous metals, widely used in the mechanical industry, are difficult to machine, particularly by drilling and tapping. Since non-ferrous metals have a strong tendency to adhere to the cutting tool, the tool life is greatly deteriorated. Diamond-like carbon (DLC) is one of the promising candidates to improve the performance and life of cutting tool due to their low frictional property. In this study, a sacrificial DLC layer is applied on the hard nitride coated drill tool to improve the durability. The DLC coatings are fabricated by controlling the acceleration voltage of the linear ion source in the range of 0.6~1.8 kV. As a result, the optimized hardness(20 GPa) and wear resistance(1.4 x 10-8 ㎣/N·m) were obtained at the 1.4 kV. Then, the optimized DLC coating is applied as an sacrificial layer on the hard nitride coating to evaluate the performance and life of cutting tool. The Vickers hardness of the composite coatings were similar to those of the nitride coatings (AlCrN, AlTiSiN), but the friction coefficients were significantly reduced to 0.13 compared to 0.63 of nitride coatings. The drilling test were performed on S55C plate using a drilling machine at rotation speed of 2,500 rpm and penetration rate of 0.25 m/rev. The result showed that the wear width of the composite coated drills were 200 % lower than those of the AlCrN, AlTiSiN coated drills. In addition, the cutting forces of the composite coated drills were 13 and 15 % lower than that of AlCrN, AlTiSiN coated drills, respectively, as it reduced the aluminum clogging. Finally, the application of the DLC sacrificial layer prevents initial chipping through its low friction property and improves drilling quality with efficient chip removal.

전자파 반사재료로 사용되는 탄소섬유/에폭시 복합재료의 탄소섬유 배향이 마찰특성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 마찰 시, 상대 마찰 면과 탄소 섬유/에폭시 복합재료의 적층 방향이 수직인 경우가 수평인 경우에 비해 우수한 마찰특성을 나타내었다. 이는 마찰 면과 복합재료의 적층 방향이 수평인 경우, 에폭시와 탄소섬유의 delamination이 상대적으로 많이 일어나기 때문이다. 탄소섬유 배향에 따른 마찰특성은 마찰 면과 복합재료의 적층 방향이 수직인 경우, 탄소 섬유가 단일 방향으로 배향된 $0/0^{\circ}$의 복합재료가 다방향 배향인 $0/45/90/-45^{\circ}$ 및 $0/90^{\circ}$ 복합재료에 비해 상대적으로 뛰어난 마찰특성을 나타내었다. 이는 탄소섬유의 배향 방향에 따라 마찰 면에 접촉하는 탄소섬유의 접촉면적이 변화되고 그 결과, 마찰에 의한 탄소섬유와 에폭시의 debonding 정도가 변화되기 때문이다. 이와는 달리 마찰 면과 적층 방향이 수평인 경우탄소섬유에 가해지는 응력의 종류에 따라 다른 마찰특성을 나타내며 인장응력이 작용하는 $0/90^{\circ}$로 탄소섬유가 배향된 복합재료가 가장 우수한 마찰특성을 갖는다. 마찰면과 탄소섬유 배향에 따라 마찰속도는 마찰계수에 영향을 미치지 못하는 반면 마멸지수와는 비례관계가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Aiming at the mechanical and structural characteristics of the contact zone composite rock, the shear tests and numerical studies were carried out. The effects of the differences in mechanical properties of different materials and the normal stress on shear properties of contact zone composite samples were analyzed from a macro-meso level. The results show that the composite samples have high shear strength, and the interface of different materials has strong adhesion. The differences in mechanical properties of materials weakens the shear strength and increase the shear brittleness of the sample, while normal stress will inhibit these effect. Under low/high normal stress, the sample show two failure modes, at the meso-damage level: elastic-shearing-frictional sliding and elastic-extrusion wear. This is mainly controlled by the contact and friction state of the material after damage. The secondary failure of undulating structure under normal-shear stress is the nature of extrusion wear, which is positively correlated to the normal stress and the degree of difference in mechanical properties of different materials. The increase of the mechanical difference of the sample will enhance the shear brittleness under lower normal stress and the shear interaction under higher normal stress.

Materials manufactured by powder metallurgy (PM) are widely used in various applications such as water pump, shock absorber, and airplane components due to the reduction in the cost and weight. In this study, tribological properties of carbon steel subjected by surface treatment were investigated. The main purpose is to increase the strength and improve the tribological properties by reducing pores that formed by PM. Moreover, the surface treatment was carried out at room and high temperatures (RT and HT). The surface roughness of the untreated (NON) and treated (AFTER) samples was measured. It was found that the surface roughness was reduced after both the RT AFTER and HT AFTER compared to RT NON sample. The tribological properties of the samples were performed against bearing steel ball under dry conditions. The friction coefficient of the RT NON samples was reduced by 22% and 56% RT AFTER and HT AFTER, respectively. The wear volume of the RT NON sample was also reduced by 43% and 87% RT AFTER and HT AFTER, respectively. Tribocorrosion tests were also performed and it was found that the surface of the RT AFTER, HT AFTER samples was less corroded compared to RT NON sample. The HT AFTER sample demonstrated a relatively higher corrosion potential in comparison with the RT AFTER samples. Hence, it was confirmed that after surface modification the surface roughness and hardness of the samples were significantly improved resulting in improvement in tribological and tribocorrosion behaviors of PM carbon steel.

In this study, an ultrasonic nanocrystal surface modification (UNSM) was used to improve the mechanical properties, scratch resistance and tribological performance of Cu-based bimetals, which are usually used to manufacture sliding bearings and bushings for internal combustion engines (ICEs). Two different Cu-based bimetals, namely CuPb10Sn10 and CuSn10Bi7, were sintered onto a low carbon steel substrate. The mechanical properties and dry tribological performance using a tensile tester and micro-tribo tester were evaluated, respectively. The scratch resistance was assessed using a micro-scratch tester at an incremental load. The tensile test results showed that the yield strength (YS) and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of both Cu-based bimetals increased after UNSM. Furthermore, the scratch and tribological tests results revealed that the scratch resistance and tribological performance of both Cu-based bimetals were improved by the application of UNSM. These improvements were mainly attributed to the eliminated pores, increased hardness and reduced roughness after UNSM. CuSn10Bi7 demonstrated better mechanical properties, scratch resistance and tribological performance than CuPb10Sn10. It was found that the presence of Bi in CuSn10Bi7 formed a Cu₁₁Bi₇ intermetallic phase, which is harder than Cu₃Sn. Hence, CuSn10Bi7 demonstrated higher strength and wear resistance than CuPb10Sn10. In addition, a CuSn10Bi7 formed both SnO₂ and Bi₂O₃ that prevented adhesion and improved the tribological performance. It can be expected that under dry tribological conditions, ICEs can utilize UNSM bearings and bushings made of CuSn10Bi7 instead of CuPb10Sn10 under oil-lubricated conditions.

Tool-chip adhesion impacts on cutting performance significantly, especially in finish cutting process. To promote cutting tools' anti-adhesion property, the concave micro-grooves texture (MGT) and convex volcano-like texture (VLT) were fabricated separately on lathe tools' rake faces by laser surface texturing (LST). Various orientations of MGT and different area densities (9% and 48%) and regions (partial and full) of VLT were considered in textured patterns designing. The following orthogonal cutting experiments, machining of aluminum alloy 5038, analyzed tools' performances including cutting force, cutting stability, chip shape, rake face adhesion and abrasion. It indicated that under dry finish cutting conditions, MGT contributed to cutting stability and low cutting forces, meanwhile friction and normal force reduced by around 15% and 10%, respectively with a weak correlation to the grooves' orientation. High density VLT tools, on the other hand, presented an obvious anti-adhesion property. A $5{\mu}m$ reduction of crater wear's depth can be observed on textured rake faces after long length cutting and textured rake faces presented half size of BUE regions comparing to the flat tool, however, once the texture morphologies were filled or worn, the anti-adhesion effect could be invalid. The bearing ratio curve was employed to analysis tool-chip contact and durability of textured surfaces contributing to a better understanding of anti-adhesion and enhanced durability of the textured tools.

4 mol% Yttria-stabilized zirconia (4YSZ) coatings are fabricated by Air Plasma Spray (APS) and Electron Beam Physical Vapor Deposition (EB-PVD) with top coating of thermal barrier coating (TBC). NiCrAlY based bond coat is prepared as 150 ${\mu}m$ thickness by conventional APS (Air Plasma Spray) method on the NiCrCoAl alloy substrate before deposition of top coating. Each 4YSZ top coating shows different tribological behaviors based on the inherent layer structures. 4YSZ by APS which has splat-stacked structure shows lower friction coefficient but higher wear rate than 4YSZ by EB-PVD which has columnar structure. For 4YSZ by APS, such results are expected due to the sliding wear accompanied with local delamination of splats.
