This study attempted to examine how the hydrogen embrittlement susceptibility of the STS 444 stainless steel varies under different welding conditions and how its effect on hydrogen embrittlement differs by the impressed current density levels. For doing so, U bend test specimens was used to impress the current density at 5,10, 15, and 20 $mA/cm^2$ in the $0.5M\;H_2SO_4+0.001M\;As_2O_3$ solution with an electrochemical corrosion tester. The hydrogen embrittlement was assessed by observing the time to failure, and then the microphotographs of metal structures were compared to investigate the metal- related structural properties. The study findings suggest that the effect on hydrogen embrittlement for the STS 444 steel significantly depends on both the welding conditions, or variations in the amount of shield gas, and the levels of current density. In particular, as the impressed current density increases, the hydrogen embrittlement increases rapidly.

Recently a fuel oil of the diesel engine in the ship is being changed with low quality as the oil price is higher more and more. Therefore the wear and corrosion in all parts of the engine like cylinder liner ring groove of piston crown, spindle and seat ring of exhaust valve are increased with using of heavy oil of low quality In particular the degree of wear and corrosion in between valve spindle and seat ring are more serious compared to the other parts of the engine due to operating in severe environment such as the high temperature of exhaust gas and repeating impact. Thus the repair weld to the valve spindle and seat ring is a unique method to prolong the life of the exhaust valve in an economical point of view In this study. corrosion property of both weld metal zone and base metal was investigated with some electrochemical methods such as measurement of corrosion potential, cathodic and anodic polarization curves, cyclic voltammogram and polarization resistance etc. in 5% $H_2SO_4$ solution. in the case of being welded with some welding methods and welding materials to the exhaust valve specimen as the base metal. In all cases. the values of hardness of the weld metal zone were more high than that of the base metal. And their corrosion resistance were also superior to the base metal. The weld metal of A2F(AC SMAW: 2 pass welding with foreign electrode) showed a relatively good results to the corrosion resistance as well as the hardness compared to the ether welding methods and welding materials. Moreover it indicated that hardness of the weld metal by the domestic electrode was considerably high compared to that of the foreign electrode.

Ellipsometric and reflectance measurements were made on an iron surface in a cathodically reduced state and in an anodically passivated state. From the differences in the optical parameters (${\Delta},\;{\psi}$, and reflectance) between the reduced (film-free) and passivated (film-covered) states the thickness and optical constants of the surface film were determined. In the passive state at -400 mV vs. SCE in borate-boric acid buffer solution the anodic film had a thickness of about 11${\AA}$ and optical constants of ${\tilde{n}}$= 2.8 - 0.8 i. This value indicates a substantial electronic conductivity of the anodic film.

Purpose: This study examined the corrosion level by alloy type and pH, and used the corrosion levels as the dental health data. The study utilized one Ni-Cr alloy for the full and removable partial denture metal frameworks and two Ni-Cr alloys for porcelain-fused-to-metal crown, among the non-beryllium dental casting non-precious Ni-Cr alloys. Methods: The alloy specimens were manufactured in $10cm^2$ and stored in the corrosive solution(pH 2.2-4.4) in the electrical water bath($37^{\circ}C$) for seven days. Afterwards, the metal ions were quantitatively analyzed using the ICP. Results: Of the three metal alloys, Bellabond-Plus$^{(R)}$alloy and SOLIBOND N$^{(R)}$alloy, with 22% or higher chrome chemical contents, had higher corrosion resistance than Jdium-100$^{(R)}$alloy with 20% chrome chemical content. In all three alloys, the corrosion of Ni was highest, and metal ion corrosion was higher in the pH 2.2 corrosive solution. Conclusion: Although Ni-Cr alloy was not very corrosive, a Ni-allergic patient should not have Ni-Cr alloy prosthesis. The Ni-Cr alloy for porcelain-fused-to-metal crown should be designed for the dental porcelain to cover the whole crown.

Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) 화합물 반도체를 기반으로 한 태양전지는 박막태양전지 기술 중 세계최고효율을 기록하고 있다. CIGS를 합성하는 방법은 동시증발법, 스퍼터링/셀렌화 등의 진공방식과 나노분말법, 전착법, 용액법 등의 비진공방식이 있으나, 현재까지 진공방식이 양산기술로서 완성도가 높은 것으로 알려져 있다. 특히 스퍼터링에 의한 전구체 박막 증착과 셀렌 분위기에서의 열처리 공정을 결합시킨 2단계 공정은 동시증발법에 비해 대면적 모듈 제조에 유리한 것으로 알려져 있다. 셀렌화 공정은 통상 반응성이 매우 높은 H2Se 기체를 이용하고 있으나, 부식성 및 안전성 문제를 해결하기 위해 추가적인 설비가 요구되므로 제조비용을 높이는 단점을 갖는다. 한편, Se 증기를 이용하면 안전성은 담보되나 낮은 반응성으로 인해 고온에서 장시간 열처리를 해야하는 문제를 안고 있다. 본 연구에서는 새로운 Se 증기를 사용하되 반응효율을 높일 수 있는 새로운 셀렌화 열처리방법을 제시하고자 한다. 기존의 Se 증기가 별도의 증발원을 이용하여 공급된 것과는 달리, 금속전구체 직상부에 Se이 코팅된 별도의 커버글라스를 위치시켜 Se의 손실을 최대한 억제하였다. Se 커버글라스가 밀착된 금속프리커서를 $200{\sim}600^{\circ}C$ 온도범위에서 열저항가열로 내부에서 열처리하였으며, 추가로 Se을 공급하지는 않았다. 이와 같은 방법 제조된 CIGS 박막의 물성을 X선회절법, 주사전자현미경 등으로 관찰하였으며, 예비실험결과 비교적 낮은 온도에서 chalcopyrite 상이 형성됨을 확인하였다. 근접셀렌화에 의해 제조된 CIGS 박막이 적용된 태양전지를 제조하여 셀렌화 공정변수에 따른 소자특성변화를 제시하고자 한다.

반도체 소자나 디스플레이 패널 제조 공정에 가장 많이 사용되는 진공 펌프인 터보 분자 펌프는 오일을 사용하지 않고, 설치 방향이 자유로우며 넓은 작동 압력 영역을 가지고 있어서 고가임에도 불구하고 점점 더 사용 영역을 넓혀 가고 있다. 상하의 두 곳에 회전축을 지지하는 베어링이 필요한데, 기계식 금속 베어링을 채용하는 경우에는 반드시 윤활유를 공급해 주어야 하고, 고온, 부식성 또는 산화성 가스의 배기 시에는 퍼지 가스로 비활성인 질소나 알곤등을 이용하여 보호를 해주어야 한다. 반면, 자기 베어링을 채택한 모델은 윤활의 걱정에서 자유로울 수 있기 때문에 채용이 늘어나고 있다. 동일극의 반발력이나 반대극의 인상력을 이용한 구조를 갖게 되는데 갑작스러운 입구 쪽 압력의 증가 시에는 자석 끼리 부딪치는 일이 발생하고 이로 인해서 로터 모듈 전체에 큰 손상을 갖게 되므로 한 곳 정도에 비상용 터치 다운 베어링을 기계식으로 윤활제 없이 설치하기도 한다. 기본적으로 자기 베어링 방식은 로터 모듈의 부상과 제어를 위해서 3축 또는 5축 제어를 하게 되는데 여기에는 전자석의 전류를 미세하게 조정하여 피드백 하는 시스템을 활용하기 때문에 외부에서의 자기장이 일정값 이상 침투하게 되면 제어 회로의 기능에 문제를 일으키게 된다. 또한 축 방향에 수직인 자기장의 강도가 높아지면 고속으로 회전하는 금속 블레이드가 자속을 자르게 되므로 표면에 와전류가 발생하여 문제가 된다. 터보 분자 펌프는 회전자와 고정자 간격이 1 mm 이내로 작아서 약간의 진동이라도 발생하면 회전자와 고정자 간에 충돌이 일어나고 이는 곧 파손으로 이어진다. 그림 1에는 파손 원인 분석을 위한 회전자 모듈의 수치 해석용 모델의 일부를 나타내었고, 그림 2에는 실제로 외부 자기장에 의한 파손이 발생한 사례의 자기 베어링 모듈의 사진을 나타내었다. 본 발표에서는 외부 자기장의 형태에 따라 제어 자기장에 미치는 영향을 CFD-ACE+(ESI corp)를 활용하여 해석하였다.

In order to remove particles on surface of post-oxide CMP wafer, new cleaning solution was prepared by mixing with DHF (Diluted HF), nonionic surfactant PAAE (Polyoxyethylene Alkyl Aryl Ether), DMSO (Dimethylsulfoxide) and D.I.W.. Silicone wafers were intentionally contaminated by silica, alumina and PSL (polystylene latex) which had different zeta potentials in cleaning solution. This cleaning solution under megasonic irradiation could remove particles and metals simultaneously at room temperature in contrast to traditional AMP (mixture of $NH_4OH,\;H_2O_2$ and D.I.W) without any side effects such as increasing of microroughness, metal line corrosion and deposition of organic contaminants. This suggests that this cleaning solution would be useful future application with copper CMP in brush cleaning process as well as traditional post CMP cleaning process.

This paper addresses recent status and trends of carbon dioxide capture technologies using dry sorbents in the flue gas. The advantages of dry sorbent $CO_2$ capture technology are broader operating temperature range, less energy loss, less waste water, less corrosion problem, and natural properties of solid wastes. Recently, U.S.A. and Korea have been developing processes capturing $CO_2$ from real coal flue gas as well as sorbents improving sorption capacity to decrease total $CO_2$ capture cost. New class of dry sorbents have been developed such as chemisorbents with alkali metals of which material cost is low, amines physically adsorbed on silica supports, amines covalently tethered to the silica support, carbon-supported amines, polymer-supported amines, amine-containing solid organic resins and metal-organic framework. The breakthrough is needed in the materials on dry sorbents to decrease capture cost.

Purpose: This study was conducted to evaluate the corrosion resistance of metal ions of alloys and use the results as the dental health data. These were performed by examining the corrosion levels of Co-Cr alloys for the full and removable partial denture metal frameworks and porcelain-fused-to-metal crown, among the dental casting nonprecious alloys. Methods: The alloy specimens (N = 10) were manufactured in $15mm{\times}10mm{\times}1.2mm$ and stored in two types of corrosive solutions at $37^{\circ}C$ for seven days. The metal ions were quantitatively analyzed using the Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometer. Results: Of the three Co-Cr alloys, the Co ion concentration of the porcelain-fused-to-metal alloy was 1.512 ${\mu}g/cm^2$, which indicated the highest metal ion dissolution. The metal corrosion was higher in the more acidic pH 2.2 solution compared with the pH 4.4 solution. In all three Co-Cr alloys, Co ion dissolution was predominant in the two corrosive solutions. Conclusion: The corrosion resistance of the three Co-Cr alloys was high, indicating a good biocompatibility.

An Experimental study of cleaning solution has been performed on a high capacity steam boiler burning heavy fuel oil to on-line cleaning of deposit. The deposit is mixture of soot, slag, ash, metal oxide and clinker. The traditional technology of deposit cleaning was carried hand-crafted. The conventional technology of boiler cleaning method is mechanical removal by the worker while the boiler shut down operation. In this experiment, the deposit of mixture of soot, slag, ash, metal oxide and clinker has been removed by the cleaning agents without shut down of boiler burning. This study found out the optimum cleaning solution composition. The best results have been obtained when the mixture of ammonium nitrate and $MgNO_3$ were used in cleaning solution. The various transition metal effect was investigated for optimum mixing condition. In this research, the metal compound additive of the clean solution compoition was obtained. The combustion efficiency was improved by on-line cleaning with derived clean solution compoition. On-line cleaning method prevents the fouling and corrosion in the boiler and heat exchanger.
