Design and Manufacturing processes of Ti-6Al-4V profiled ring-products were investigated with three-dimensional FEM simulation and experimental analyses. FEM simulation for the ring-rolling process was used to calculate the state variables such as strain, strain rate and temperature. In the simulation results of strain and temperature distributions for a plane ring rolling process, the strain level at the surface area is higher than that at the mid-plane, but the temperature level at the surface area is lower than that at mid-plane due to heat transfer between the workpiece and the work roll. These distributions showed a great influence on the evolution of microstructure in different positions. In order to induce the uniform deformation of the profile ring and reduce the applied load, the final blank was prepared by two-step processes. The mechanical properties of Ti-6Al-4V alloy ring products made in this work were investigated with tensile and impact tests and analyzed with the evolution of microstructures during the ring rolling process.

The tribiological characteristics such as friction coefficient, friction stability, wear rate and braking temperature between various types of metallic friction materials and heat resistant steel disk, were investigated by using lab-scale dynamometer. Friction materials for high speed train have higher friction coefficient and friction stability as compared to aircraft friction materials even though friction materials for high speed train have lower wear rate. In addition. Cu-matrix friction materials have higher temperature increase rate than Fe-matrix friction materials. All friction surfaces have Fe-base oxide layer after completing test.

재료의 표면개질은 표면층의 조직변화에 대한 개질법과 표면피복에 의한 개질 법으로 나눌 수 있다. 조직변화에 의한 개질법으로는 침탄, 질화, 이온주입 및 금속 확산 등이 있고, 표면피복에 의한 개질법으로는 도장, 도금, 육성용접, 물리증착(PVD) 및 화학증착(CVD) 등이 있는데, 용사법은 표면피복에 의한 개질법에 속한다. 용사기술 은 비교적 최근에 발달된 표면피복 기술로서 그림1과 같이 플라즈마, 가스화염 또는 아크열원을 이용하여 금속 또는 비금속 재료를 용융 혹은 반용융 상태로 모재에 고속 도로 분사하여 충돌 적층시켜 피복하는 공정으로 다른 표면개질기술에 비해서 여러 가지 잇점을 가지고 있다. 이것은 거의 모든 재질의 모재(금속, 세라믹, 유기재료 등) 에 대해 피막의 형성이 가능하고, 용사재료의 종류도 다양하다(금속, 합금, 각종 세라 믹, 플라스틱, 각종 복합재료 등). 또한 노재크기의 제한이 없고, 대형의 재료에 대해 서 한정된 부위의 피복이 가능하며, 모재의 열영향이 적고, 피막의 형성속도가 다른 피막법에 비해 빠른 장점을 가지고 있다. 그 예로 알루미나(Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$)를 피복할 경우 화학증착(CVD)법에 의해서는 피막형성 속도가 약 2 * $10^{-4}$mm/min 인데 비해 용사법에 의해서는 약 7.5 * $10^{-1}$mm/min로 매우크다. 이와같은 많은 장점을 갖고있는 용사법을 이용한 표면개질에 대해 본 기술보고에서 서술하고자 한다.

Sn-Pb계 솔더는 용접, 접합성, 가격등과, 작업성이 양호하기 때문에 전자기기 실장에 사용되어 왔고, 모든 실장장치도 Sn-Pb 솔더용으로 만들어져 있다. 그러나 솔더중의 Pb는 사용할 수 없다는 분위기가 점차 확산되고 있다. 이것은 Pb가 인체에 들어가면 중추신경을 손상시킨다고 알고 있기 때문이다. Pb의 사용 규제 조치에 대해 서는 10년전 부터 미국 국회에 몇번이나 상정된 바가 있지만, Pb피해에 대해서 입증 할 수 없다는 이유로 입안이 되지 않았지만, 실제는 대체합금이 없기 때문에 입안이 되지 않은 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 앞으로 5년 이내에 유예기간을 두고 2000년 이후 부터 사용을 규제할 것으로 알려져 있다. 또한 북유럽에는 Pb 솔더 금지법이 의회에 제출되어 있는 것으로 알려져 있고, 곧 OECD에서도 상정될 예정이다. 결국 지구상의 환경보호 차원에서 앞으로 Pb사용이 규제될 것임은 틀립이 없다. 따라서 Pb 가 함유되어 있지 않은 솔더의 개발은 각나라 마다 핫 이슈임에 틀림이 없다. 미국 AT&T 등에서 이미 Pb Free 솔더와 공정개발에 들어가 특허화하고 있고, 특히 유럽은 연구 개발이 왕성하여 Pb Free 솔더로서 실장한 핸더폰을 생산하는 실적까지 있다. 일본도 이미 대학, 연구소, 회사로 구성된 Pb Free 솔더 연구회가 구성되어 솔더개발 에 박차를 가하고 있다. 국내에 기업체, 연구소, 학교 등에서는 이러한 긴박감을 느 끼지 못하는 것으로 사료된다. 본 해설에서는 Sn-Pb 공정계 대체 솔더인 Pb Free 솔더 의 개발 방향과 문제점을 정리하여 기술하고자 한다.

The reductive extraction process is an important step to refine the TRU product from the electrorefining process for the preparation of transmutation reactor fuel. In this study, it was studied on the reductive extraction between the eutectic salt and Bi metal phases. The solutes were zirconium and the rare earth elements, where zirconium was used as a surrogate for the transuranic(TRU) elements. All the experiments were performed in a glove box filled with a argon gas. Li-Bi alloy was used as a reducing agent to reduce the high chemical activity of Li. The reductive extraction characteristics were examined using ICP, XRD and EPMA analysis. The reduction reaction was equilibrated within 3 hours after the Li addition. Three eutectic salt systems were compared and Zr was successfully separated from the rare earth elements in all the three salt systems.

Cavitation erosion properties of the Cu-9Al-4.5Ni-4.5Fe alloys (Al-bronze) surface-modified by flame quenching process have been investigated. After flame quenching at above $T_{\beta}$, the surfaces of Al-bronze with $\alpha$ + $\textsc{k}$ structure have been changed into the $\alpha$ + $\beta$' martensite phases by the eutectoid reaction of $\alpha$ + $\textsc{k}$\longrightarrow$\beta$ followed by the martensite transformation of $\beta$\longrightarrow$\beta$'. As a result of cavitation test, the measured incubation time and erosion rate of the $\alpha$ + $\beta$' alloy was 1.2 times higher and 1.5 times lower, respectively, compared to those of the conventional $\alpha$ + $\textsc{k}$ alloys, showing a remarkable increase of cavitation resistance with the formation of $\beta$' martensite. This is attributed to a preferential erosion of the $\textsc{k}$ precipitates that show the lowest resistance among the $\alpha$, $\textsc{k}$, $\beta$' phases under cavitation loading.ases under cavitation loading.

Rare earth alloys and compounds are the raw materials for the manufacture of advanced materials. Although domestic monazite ores have been found, there are some difficulties in recovering rare earth from these ores. Rare earth ores are found in few countries and these countries put an embargo on the export of rare earth ores for the protection of their industry. We gathered some information on the hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical processes to recover rare earths from bastnasite, monazite, and xenotime which consist of 95% of the total rare earth ores. Since rare earth with the purity more than 6N is needed for use in advanced materials, some separation methods such as fractional crystallization, precipitation, ion exchange, and solvent extraction were introduced.

In this study aluminum casting experiments are carried out to reduce the grain size of a cast preform and to spheriodize its dendritic structure by adding Ti+B and Zr and to modify flaked eutectic silicon by adding Sr, And a finite element simulation is performed to determine an optimal configuration of the cast preform to be used in forging of a compressor piston for an automobile air-conditioner. When 0.15% Ti+B Zr and 0.05% Sr are added respectively into the molten aluminum alloy the finest grain in casting of the preform is obtained. It is confirmed that the optimal configuration of the cast preform predicted by FEM simulation is very useful for forging the compressor piston. After forging the cast preform of the compressor piston. the microstructure and the hardness of the cast preform is compared with those of the cast/forged product.

The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the effects of root canal cleanness following two Ni-Ti rotary instruments with different rake angle. Thirty-six sound, extracted human premolars with single root were randomly divided into three groups. The used rotary instruments were HEROShaper (Group 1, Micro-Mega, Besancon, France, n=12) and ProFile (Group 2, Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland, n=12). Control group (n=12) was only extirpated with barbed broach (Mani, Matsutani Seisakusho Co., Japan) Group 1 & 2 teeth were prepared to a #40/.04 taper at the apex followed by 1 mm using crown-down technique. After canal preparation and frequent irrigation with 5.25% sodium hypochlorite, the roots split longitudinally into a bucco-lingual direction. Root halves were cross-sectioned in apical third portion again. All root specimens were processed for SEM investigation and photographed. Separate evaluations by one endodontist were undertaken for smear layer on prepared walls with a five score-index for each using reference photograph in root halves. The penetration depth of smear layer into dentinal tubules was also estimated in the other halves. Following results were obtained: 1. Smear layer was observed on all the prepared walls with two experimental groups except control group. 2. Smear layer characteristics in two experimental groups; 1) HEROShaper group showed snowy, dusty appearance and were shown open dentinal tubuli on the prepared walls of almost specimens, and the thickness of smear layer covering onto dentinal surfaces was within 1-2 ${\mu}m$ in a few specimens. 2) ProFile group showed shiny, burnished appearance and complete root canal wall covered by a homogenous smear layer with no open dentinal tubuli in all specimens. The penetration of smear layer into dentinal tubules was found in all specimens and the thickness was at 2-4 ${\mu}m$ in all specimens. These results demonstrated that a completely clean root canal could not be achieved regardless of positive or negative rake angle, which is in accordance with the majority of previous studies on root canal cleanliness In conclusion, through irrigation with antibacterial solutions or chelating agents is recommended to remove the smear layer on prepared canal wall in spite of Ni-Ti instrumentation.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the shear bond strength between Ni-Cr alloy and composite resin using universal adhesive systems coMPared to conventional method using metal primers. Materials and methods: For this study, a total of 120 cast commercial Ni-Cr alloy (Vera Bond 2V) disks were embedded in acrylic resin, and their surfaces were smoothed with silicon carbide papers and airborne-particle abrasion. Specimens of each metal were divided into 6 groups based on the combination of metal primers (Metal primer II, Alloy primer, Metal & Zirconia primer, MKZ primer) and universal adhesive systems (Single Bond Universal, All Bond Universal). All specimens were stored in distilled water at $37^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours. Shear bond strength testing was performed with a universal testing machine at a cross head speed of 1 m/min. Data (MPa) were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and the post hoc Tukey's multiple comparison test (${\alpha}$=.05). Results: There were significant differences between Single Bond Universal, All Bond Universal, Metal Primer II and Alloy Primer, MKZ Primer, Metal & Zirconia Primer (P<.001). Conclusion: Universal Adhesive system groups indicated high shear bond strength value bonded to Ni-Cr alloy than that of conventional system groups using primers except Metal Primer II. Within the limitations of this study, improvement of universal adhesive systems which can be applied to all types of restorations is recommended especially non-precious metal alloy. More research is needed to evaluate the effect of silane inclusion or exclusion in universal adhesive systems.
