Bone plate는 골절된 뼈의 골 유합을 지지하기 위해서 정형외과, 신경외과, 성형외과 및 치과 등에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 하지만 기존의 bone plate는 대부분 금속으로 제작되어 있어 장기간 이식에 따른 부식 및 천연골 강도저하 등으로 인해 1~2년 후 재수술을 해야 하는 문제점을 갖고 있다. 본 연구에서는이런 금속 bone plate의 단점을 개선하고자 생체적합성이 우수한 생분해성 고분자 bone plate를 제작하였다. 사용된 고분자는 생체적합성과 생분해성이우수한 PVA(polyvinly alcohol)와 강도를 유지하기 위한 PMMA(poly methyl methacrylate)를 사용였다. Electrospinning 법으로 PVA와 PMMA fibrous mat를 제작하여 각 mat를 적층시킨 후 열압착을 하여 강도를 증가시킨 PMMA/PVA Mutlilayer bone plate을 제작하였다. 제작된 PMMA/PVA Mutlilayer bone plate의 생체적합성 평가를 위해 MTT assay, 생분해 특성을 관찰하기 위해 Micro-CT와 SBF(simulated body fluid) 내에서의 용해도를 관찰하였다. 또한조골세포의 부착과 분화에 미치는 영향을 SEM(scanning electron microscope)을통해 관찰하였고, 조골세포의 유전자 발현에 미치는 영향을 RT-PCR을통해 확인하였다.

활성금속 브레이징 방법으로 스테인레스 스틸과 질화규소를 접합하여 기계적 특성 및 유한요소법을 사용하여 접합체에서 발생되는 잔류응력의 크기를 조사하였다. 고강도 접합체를 제조하기 위하여 연성금속인 Cu 및 Cu/Mo 적층체를 중간재로 사용하였으며, 중간재의 두께 및 구조에 따라 접합체에서 발생되는 잔류응력의 크기 및 분포가 접합강도에 미치는 영향에 관하여 조사하였다.중간재인 Cu의 두께가 0.2mm 일대 세라믹스에 발생되는 최대 잔류응력의 크기가 급격히 감소하였으며, 최대 접합강도가 나타났다. Cu/Mo 다층 중간재를 사용한 접합체에서는 Cu/Mo 두께비가 감소할수록 접합강도는 증가되었다. 스테인레스 스틸/질화규소 접합체에서 Cu/Mo 중간재의 사용은 Cu 중간재 사용보다 접합강도를 증가시키는데 효과적이었으며, 최대 접합강도는 450Mpa 정도이었다. Cu/Mo 중간재를 사용한 접합체에서는 Mo에 최대 인장방향의 잔류응력이 발생하여 강도 측정시 Mo의 지배적인 소성변형으로 잔류응력이 감소되어 접합체의 접합강도를 향상시키는 것으로 생각된다.

Traditionally, additive manufacturing (AM) technology has been used to fabricate prototypes in the early development phase of a product. This technology is being applied to release manufacturing of a product because of its low cost and fast fabrication. AM technology is a process of joining materials to fabricate a product from the 3D CAD data in a layer-by-layer manner. The orientation of a layer during manufacturing can affect the mechanical properties of the product because of its anisotropy. In this paper, tensile testing of polymer-based specimens were built with a typical AM process (FDM, PolyJet and SLA) to study the mechanical properties of the AM materials. The ASTM D 638 tensile testing standard was followed for building the specimens. The mechanical properties of the specimens were determined on the basis of stress-strain curves formed by tensile tests. In addition, the fracture surfaces of the specimens were observed by SEM to analyze the results.

The interfacial layer between the oxide film and the metal film according to RTP annealing temperature of metal film has been studied. Two types of oxides, BPSG and PETEOS, were used as a bottom layer under multi-layered metal films. We observed the interface between oxide and metal films using SEM (scanning electron microscopy), TEM (transmission electron microscopy), AES (auger electron spectroscopy). Bonding failure was occurred by interfacial reaction between the BPSG oxide and the multi-layered metal films above $650^{\circ}C$ RTP anneal. The phosphorus accumulation layer was observed at interface between BPSG oxide and metal films by AES and TEM measurements. On the other hand, bonding was always good in the sample using PETEOS oxide as a bottom layer. We have known that adhesion between BPSG and multi-layered metal films was improved when the sample was annealed below $650^{\circ}C$.

Metal three-dimensional (3D) printing technologies are mainly classified as powder bed fusion (PBF) and direct energy deposition (DED) methods according to the method of application of a laser beam to metallic powder. The DED method can be used to fabricate fine and hard 3D metallic structures by applying a strong laser beam to a thin layer of metallic powder. The PBF method involves slicing 3D graphics to be a certain height, laminating metal powders, and making a 3D structure using a laser. While the DED method has advantages such as laser cladding and metallic welding, it causes problems with low density when 3D shapes are created. The PBF method was introduced to address the structural density issues in the DED method and makes it easier to produce relatively dense 3D structures. In this paper, thin lines were produced by using PBF 3D printers with stainless-steel powder of roughly $30{\mu}m$ in diameter with a galvano scanner and fiber-transferred Nd:YAG laser beam. Experiments were carried out to find the optimal conditions for the width of a line depending on the processing times, laser power, spot size, and scan speed. The optimal conditions were two scanning processes in one line structure with a laser power of 30 W, spot size of $28.7{\mu}m$, and scan speed of 200 mm/s. With these conditions, a minimum width of about $85.3{\mu}m$ was obtained.

다양한 소재(금속, 세라믹, 고분자 소재 등)들이 3차원 형상기반 적층제조법에 적용되고 있는데, 금속 소재를 이용하여 3D 프린팅 법으로 치과용 수복물을 제조하는 연구가 많이 보고되고 있다. 하지만, 티타늄 또는 티타늄 합금 분말을 이용하여 3D 프린팅 법으로 제작한 치과용 보철물에 관한연구 보고는 많지 않다. Kanazawa 등 (2014)은 Ti-6Al-4V 합금분말을 이용하여 SLM법으로 총의치 용 framework를 제작하여 주조법으로 제작한 것과 비교 평가하였고, Mangano 등(2013)은 Ti-6Al-4V 합금분말로 지름이 작은 일체형 (1-piece narrow-diameter) 임플란트를 SLS법으로 제작하여 16명의 환자에게 식립한 다음, 2년간 관찰하였고, Mangano 등 (2014)은 cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) data를 3D이미지로 변환시켜 DLMS법으로 치근 형상의 임플란트를 제작하여 15명의 환자에게 식립한 다음, 1년간 관찰하였다. 또한 서울대학교 및 연세대학교 치과생체재료과학교실 (2016)에서는 3D 프린팅 법으로 제작한 티타늄 시편과 기계 가공한 티타늄 시편의 물성을 비교하였다. 그러나 티타늄 합금 분말을 이용하여 3D 프린팅 법으로 제작한 치과용 보철물을 실제 임상에 적용하는 단계에서 기존 기계가공 방식으로 제작한 티타늄 보철물과 3D 프린팅 법으로 제작한 티타늄 보철물의 물성과 표면특성을 다양하게 비교 평가하는 것이 필요하여 본 연구에서는 3D 프린팅 법으로 제작한 티타늄 시편과 기계 가공한 티타늄 시편의 물성특성과 표면특성을 비교하여 조사하였다.

This study was performed to fabricate porous titanium foam by three-dimensional layer manufacturing process, and to evaluate the porosities, compressive stress, Young's modulus and fracture pattern. Porous titanium foam was made of CP(Commercial Pure) titanium powder (${\leq}5{\mu}m$). Total porosities of titanium foam were in the range of 55-68%. Pore size distribution was $200-440{\mu}m$ for coarse pores, $50-100{\mu}m$ for intermediate pores and $5-10{\mu}m$ for fine pores. Compression elastic modulus and compression stress were decreased with increasing porosity. Young's modulus ranged from 1.04-5.62 GPa and maximum stress ranged from 20-241 MPa. Regarding the mechanical properties, 3D(Three Demensional) porous titanium fabricated layer manufacturing is a promising material for human bone replacement.

In the fourth industrial revolution, the demand for metal three-dimensional (3D) printing technology is rapidly increasing. Metal 3D printing is an efficient method for manufacturing products because the method reduces material waste compared to subtractive manufacturing. In addition, products with complex shapes, such as turbine blades, can be easily produced using metal 3D printing because the method offers a high degree of freedom. However, due to the long production time of metal 3D printing, mass production is impossible, and post-processing is necessary due to its low precision. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new hybrid process that can efficiently process metals and to develop a metal 3D-printing-based hybrid processing system technology to secure high processing precision and manufacture complex shapes. In this study, the structural stability of a metal 3D printer based hybrid machining center was analyzed through structural analysis before its development. In addition, we proposed a design modification that can reduce the weight and increase the stiffness of the hybrid machining center by performing shape lightning based on the structural analysis results.

Mokumegane is one of the sophisticated metal craft techniques enabling wood grain surface effect. To embody the mokumegane, an ingot of well-bonded stacked metal plates has been required. Traditionally prepared mokumegane ingots were bonded using charcoal which enables reduction atmosphere, but sometimes end up with collapse of bonding interface due to the lack of reliable process control. We proposed a systematic vacuum direct bonding process for ingots. First, we confirmed copper//copper homogeneous plate bonding at $900^{\circ}C$ by applying uniaxial press of 2.5kg. We observed 80min required to obtain 90%-bonding ratio and the diffusion coefficient would be enhanced up to 100 times due to surface effect. Second, by considering enhanced diffusion behavior, we also obtained optimum bonding condition in copper/silver heterogeneous plates that ensures 90%-bonding ratio at $700^{\circ}C$ for 10min with apply uniaxial press. A 7-layered copper/silver ingot is prepared successfully, and eventually the prototype mokumegane cases for mobile phone were fabricated with these ingot.

AlSi10Mg alloys are being actively studied through additive manufacturing for application in the automobile and aerospace industries because of their excellent mechanical properties. To obtain a consistently high quality product through additive manufacturing, studying the flowability and spreadability of the metal powder is necessary. AlSi10Mg powder easily forms an oxide film on the powder surface and has hydrophilic properties, making it vulnerable to moisture. Therefore, in this study, AlSi10Mg powder was hydrophobically modified through silane surface treatment to improve the flowability and spreadability by reducing the effects of moisture. The improved flowability according to the number of silane surface treatments was confirmed using a Carney flowmeter. In addition, to confirm the effects of improved spreadability, the powder prior to surface treatment and that subjected to surface treatment four times were measured and compared using s self-designed recoating tester. The results of this study confirmed the improved flowability and spreadability based on the modified metal powder from hydrophilic to hydrophobic for obtaining a high-quality additive manufacturing product.
