Composites composed of a precipitation harden 2124 alloy matrix reinforced by SiC whiskers, which are fabricated by powder metallugy, are suscepttible to fatigue damage due to the pile-up of moving dislocation and the microcrack initiation along SiC-Al interfaces, especially at the external surfaces of a body. The initial process, such as pile-up of dislocation or microcrack, that corresponds to the stage I during fatigue failure process are too small to be detected and characterized by conventional ultrasonic technique. This paper describes the applicability of an acoustic microscope with Line-Focus-Beam(LFB) lens of 225MHz to evaluate fatigue damage of SiC whiskers reinforced Al alloy. The specimens which were 6.6mm thick, 13mm wide, and 105mm long in the gage section were fatigued in tension-tension under load control. The velocity of leaky surface and leaky pseudosurface acoustic waves are obtained by FFT analysis technique from V(z) curve which is a record of output of piezoelectric transducer. These results are discussed with the change of number of fatigue cycles. The result obtained by acoustic microscope is compared with that by ultrasonic technique generated at 5MHz with conventional surface wave transducers.

Friction Stir Welding is a metal welding technique, in which friction heat between a welding tool and a welding material is used to weld parts at temperatures below the melting point of a material. In this study, the temperature and velocity changes in a magnesium alloy (AZ31) during the welding process were analyzed by computational flow dynamics technique while welding the material using a friction stir welding technique. For the analysis, the modeling and analysis were carried out using Fluent as a fluid analysis tool. First, the welding material was assumed to be a temperature-dependent Newtonian fluid with high viscosity, and the rotation region and the stationary region were simulated separately to consider the rotational flow generated by the rotation of the welding tool having a helical groove. The interface between the welding tool and welding material was given the friction and slip boundary conditions and the heat transfer effect to the welding tool was considered. Overall, the velocity and temperature characteristics of the welded material according to time can be understood from the results of transient analysis through the above flow analysis modeling.

This study examined the mechanical strength and corrosion resistance of a dissimilar joint with an aluminum alloy and steel by resistance element spot welding. SPFC980 steels and Al5052 alloys were applied as the base materials. S20C steels were assembled on Al5052 for the riveting element before the electric resistance welding process. The SPFC980-S20C riveted Al5052 was welded at a 6.5 kA current and 250 kgf/㎠. As a result, the engraved S20C elements formed unstable nuggets after the spot welding processes. In contrast, in the embossed S20C elements, exceptional mechanical properties, such as robust corrosion resistance and fatigue resistance, were obtained by structurally sound joints. The correlation between the microstructure and mechanical properties were examined by microstructural investigations and FEM simulations. The corrosion reliability of element spot-welded SPFC980-Al5052 dissimilar joints was investigated systematically.

Liquid silicone rubber(LSR) has been applied to various products such as electronic devices owing to its excellent thermal and chemical resistance. Hyperelastic materials, however, have properties distinguished from general metal materials. Hyperelastic materials show elastic behaviors in the range of large deformation in which load has the nonlinear relation with deformation. In addition, they have characteristics of nonlinearity, incompressibility, in large scale. On account of such characteristics, there are many difficulties in design and production using these materials. In this study, the load-deformation relation obtained from tension and compression tests was applied to finite element analysis in order to design waterproof connectors for automobiles. Furthermore, the effectiveness of the finite element analysis was confirmed by comparing the results of analysis with those of performance tests.

Through scientific analysis, this study identified the material characteristics of metal foil decorating the border line and knotting of the National Folklore Cultural Heritage 'Pouch for the Sutra Embroidered with a Sun and Moon Design'. Through Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy results, it was estimated that silver (Ag) and sulfur (S) were present in the metal foil, and silver leaf was also attached to the medium. S may discolor Ag from yellow to black depending on its concsentration and contact time. Yellow color could not be identified in metal foil at present. But there existed an example of the preparation of a gold-colored flat silver thread; therefore, further research is needed to estimate the original color. The lamella was reddish brown on the back. Aluminum, silicon, and iron were also detected and were the main components found in red soil. This is believed to be the red adhesive in traditional flat gold thread and is considered to be an adhesive-related component of the metal foil. From the gas chromatography mass spectrometry results, the adhesive component was confirmed to be animal glue.

Effects of three different types of dispersions and flow improving additives composed with fatty acid esters, fatty acid metal salts and amide compound on the vulcanization and the mechanical properties properties of rubber compounds of EPDM and carbon black as fillers. were investigated using Mooney viscometer, moving die rheometer, hardness tester, and universal test machine. The aging characteristics of vulcanized EPDM compounds were also investigated. The Mooney viscosity measured at $125^{\circ}C$ showed a tendency to decrease in the order of amide type> metal salt type > ester type additive. Scorch time showed little or no difference with the addition of ester or metal salt type additives, but the amide type additive shortened a scorch time more than one minute. Rheological measurement data obtained at $160^{\circ}C$ showed that the vulcanization time was faster for metal salt type and amide type additive systems. Delta torque values of EPDM compound increased with metal salt type and amide type additives, but slightly decreased with ester type additive. The tensile strength of the EPDM compound was greatly improved when an ester type additive was added, but the amide type or metal salt type additive had no significant effect. The elongation was significantly improved for metal salt type additive, while the rest were not significantly affected. The tear strength of the EPDM compounds increased with the addition of all kinds of additives, and it increased remarkably in the case of metal salt type additive. Hardness of the EPDM compounds was nearly same value regardless of additive types. The thermal aging of the EPDM blend at $100^{\circ}C$ for 24 h showed little change in the case of metal salt type or amide type additive, but the elongation tends to decrease by 10-20% for all EPDM compounds containing additives.

3D printing technology is being used in various fields such as medicine and biotechnology, and materials containing metal powder are being commercialized through recent material development. Therefore, this study intends to analyze the photon spectrum during added filtration using 3D printing material during diagnostic X-ray examination through simulation. Among the Monte Carlo techniques, MCNPX (ver. 2.5.0) was used. First, the appropriateness of the photon spectrum generated in the simulation was evaluated through SRS-78 and SpekCalc, which are X-ray spectrum generation programs in the diagnostic field. Second, photon spectrum the same thickness of Al and Cu filters were obtained for characterization of 3D printing materials containing metal powder. In addition, the total photon fluence and average energy according to changes in tube voltage were compared and analyzed. As a result, it was analyzed that PLA-Al required about 1.2 ~ 1.4 times the thickness of the existing Al filter, and PLA-Cu required about 1.4 ~ 1.7 times the thickness of the Cu filter to show the same degree of filtration. Based on this study in the future, it is judged that it can be utilized as basic data for manufacturing 3D printing additional filters in medical fields.

최근 나노광전소자 응용에 큰 관심을 받는 물질인 산화물 나노선은 앞으로 불어 올 나노소재 시대를 여는 선두 물질이다. 이러한 산화물 나노선 가운데 가장 큰 관심을 받는 물질로는 산화아연 나노선을 들 수 있다. 삼화아연 나노선은 상온에서 큰 엑시톤 결합에너지 및 큰 밴드갭을 가지고 있으며 투명성 및 소자구동시 안정성을 지니고 있어 그 응용이 기대된다. 하지만 이러한 나노선을 이용한 광전소자 응용은 bottom-up 방식을 기초로 한 대면적 소자제작이 어렵다. 이러한 bottom-up 방식의 나노소자 제작에서 필요한 나노선 성장기술은 금속 catalyst 없이 대면적 성장, 나노선 수직어레이, 나노선의 고온성장, 기판 사이에 발생하는 자발적 계면층 제거 등으로 대표된다. 또한 나노선의 결정성 및 광특성 향상을 위해서는 고온성장이 불가피한데, 실리콘 기판과 같이 격자상수 불일치도가 큰 기판에서는 나노선 성장이 이루어지지 않고 다시 탈착되어 구조물이 성장되지 않는다. 본 연구에서는 선택적 삼원계 단결정 씨앗층을 이용하여 길이/직경 비가 매우 향상된 MgZnO 나노와이어를 interfacial layer 없이 수직으로 고온에서 성장하여 산화물 전계방출 에미터로서의 가능성을 확인하였다.

은분말은 전자 산업에 있어 후막 도체 페이스트의 제조를 위해 사용되어지고 있다. 후막 페이스트는, 기재상에 스크린 프린트되고, 전도성의 회로 패턴을 형성한다. 이러한 회로는, 다음에 건조, 소성되고 액체 유기 비이클을 휘발 시키고, 그리고 은 입자를 소결시킨다. 프린트 회로 기술은 점점 고밀도이면서 더욱 정밀한 전자 회로를 요구하고 있다. 이러한 요건에 적합하기 위하여 도선은 폭이 점점 좁아지고, 선의 사이의 거리가 점점 작아지고 있다. 고밀도가 조밀하게 꽉 찬 좁은 선을 위하여 은 분말은 가능한 크기가 단일하고 구형의 형태를 가져야 한다. 현재 금속 분말을 제조하는 방법으로는 화학적 환원법, 무화 또는 분쇄, 열분해법등의 물리적 과정 및 전기 화학적 과정 등이있다. 본 연구에서는 입도 분포가 좁은 구형의 은 분말을 제조하기 위하여 기상법의 하나인 분무열분해법을 도입하였다. 또한 싸이클론을 사용하므로 큰 액적들을 걸러 입도 분포를 줄였다. 은 분말의 프리커서로써는 AgNO$_3$를 사용하였고 반응기의 온도는 $700^{\circ}C$에서 100$0^{\circ}C$까지 변화시켰으며 운반기체로써는 5%H$_2$ 혼합가스로 20L/min에서 80L/min 변화시켜 은 분말을 제조하였다. 또한 용액의 농도는 0.2M에서 1.0M까지 변화시켰다. 용액의 농도가 0.2M이고 운반기체의 유랑이 40L/min일 경우 완전한 은 상이 관찰되었고, 입자의 크기는 약 600nm였다.
