Thermal conditions in practice at the traditional bronze workshop of the Korean Folk Village in Yongin were examined along with the microstructures of some high tin bronze objects made there. Laboratory experiments approximating the conditions of the workshop were also carried out and the results were compared. The operating temperature of the workshop furnace was measured to range from $750^{\circ}C$ to $850^{\circ}C$ while the surface temperature of an object, upon its removal from the furnace for additional thermo-mechanical treatments, was generally in the range of $600^{\circ}C$ to $685^{\circ}C$. This variation in working temperatures was reflected in varying microstructures developed upon quenching. The products of the Folk Village were found to consist of microstructures where the ${\alpha}$ grains of the Cu-Sn system were distributed in the background of different phases including the ${\beta}$-martensite phase, retained ${\gamma}$ phase, ${\alpha}+{\delta}$ eutectoid or their mixtures. This variability, which is also identified in objects made in ancient times as well as in our laboratory experiments, suggests that the actual thermal conditions given during the quenching treatments are much more complicated than is inferred from the temperature measurements. This paper will present detailed accounts of the thermo-mechanical treatments as observed in the high tin bronze workshop of the Korean Folk Village and discuss the evolution of varying microstructures in terms of the substantial variability involved in the implementation of the traditional forged high tin bronze technology of Korea.

단련용 다결정 Ni기 초내열합금은 우수한 가공성, 내산화성, 고온특성 등으로 가스터빈 연소기, 디스크, 증기발생기 전열관 등 발전용 고온부품 소재에 널리 적용되고 있다. 최근 발전설비의 고효율화를 꾀하기 위해 작동 온도를 현격히 증가시키는 기술방향으로 발전하고 있고, 소재측면에서는 기존의 초내열합금 대비 고기능성을 확보할 수 있는 차세대 Ni기 초내열합금 개발이 유럽, 미국, 일본, 중국 등을 중심으로 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 소재의 고온강도 (온도수용성)를 향상시키기 위해서는 통상 규칙격자 금속간화합물인 $Ni_3(Al,Ti)-{\gamma}'$상의 분율을 증가시킬 수 있지만, ${\gamma}'$상분율이 증가할 경우 용접 및 후열처리 동안 용접열영향부 (HAZ)에서 액화균열이 발생할 가능성이 높아진다. 결정립계를 따라 발생하는 HAZ 액화균열은 입계특성에 의해 크게 영향을 받을 것으로 판단된다. 한편, 본 연구자들은 최근 입계 serration 현상을 단련용 합금에 도입시키는 특별한 열처리를 이론적 접근법을 통해 개발하였다. 형성된 파형입계는 결정학적인 관점에서 조밀 {111} 입계면을 갖도록 분해 (dissociation)되어 낮은 계면에너지를 갖게 됨을 확인하였으며, 입계형상 변화뿐만 아니라 탄화물 특성변화까지 유도하여 크리프 수명을 기존대비 약 40% 정도 향상시킴을 확인하였다. 이러한 직선형 입계 대비 'special boundary'로 간주되는 파형입계가 도입될 경우, HAZ 결정립크기 변화 및 액화거동에 미치는 영향을 고찰하고, 아울러 입계특성 제어가 용접성/용접부 품질 향상에 기여할 수 있는 가능성도 토의하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 재현 HAZ 열사이클 시험을 통해 미세구조를 정량적으로 비교하였다. 상대적으로 입계구조가 안정된 파형입계의 이동속도가 高계면 에너지를 갖는 직선형 입계보다 느려 HAZ 결정립 성장이 효과적으로 억제됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 입계 액화거동을 살펴보면, 두 시편 모두 $M_{23}C_6$, MC 등 입계탄화물 계면이 빠른 승온중 액화반응 (constitutional liquation)에 의해 입계가 액화되었으며, 이후 급냉에 의해 입계에 액상막이 존재한 흔적이 발견되었다. 최고온도별로 입계액화 폭/비율을 정량적으로 비교한 결과, 파형입계가 직선입계 대비 대체로 낮음을 확인할 수 있었으며, 때때로 액화되지 않고 잔존하는 입계 탄화물이 관찰되었다. 재현 HAZ 미세조직을 통해 Hot ductility 시험 결과를 유추하자면, 파형입계가 직선입계 보다 좁은 취성온도영역 (Brittle Temperature Range)을 나타낼 것으로 예상되어, 입계특성제어에 의해 Ni기 초내열합금의 용접성을 향상 가능성을 확인하였다.

The flash lamp annealing (FLA) process has been considered highly promising for manufacturing low-temperature polysilicon on large-scale backplanes. Based on a theoretical estimation, this study clarifies the critical mechanisms of glass backplane deformation during the FLA process. A simulation using a commercial FEM code with viscoelastic models shows that the local region, whose temperature is larger than the glass softening point, undergoes permanent structural shrinkage owing to stress relaxation. For larger backplanes (4th Gen), structural shrinkages and gravitational deflection are critical to deformation in the FLA process, resulting in an "M" shape; in smaller backplanes (0th Gen), the latter is negligible, resulting in a "U" shape.

Electrical characteristics of crystalline polymer composites filled with nano-sized carbon black particle were studied. The developed composite system exhibited a typical positive temperature coefficient resistance (PTCR) characteristic, where the electrical resistance sharply increased at a specific temperature. The PTCR effect was sometimes followed by a negative temperature coefficient resistance (NTCR) feature with temperature, which seemingly caused by the coagulation of nano-sized carbon black particles in the excessive quantity. The PTCR temperature was controlled by the carbon black content and the external voltage. The change of electric conductivity was shown as a function of carbon black content, and the resistance was constant when the carbon black content was over 20 wt%. The room-temperature resistance was maintained by a repeated heating and cooling. The excellent PTCR characteristic was demonstrated by the low resistance in the initial stage and the instantaneous heating capability.

실리콘 기판 위에 성장된 세륨 산화막(CeO2)은 고품질의 SOI(Silicon on Insulator)나 혹은 안정한 캐패시터 소자와 같은 반도체 소자에 대한 응용 가능성이 높아 여러 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 세륨 산화막은 형석 구조, 다시 말해서 대칭적인 큐빅 구조이며 화학적으로 안정한 물질이다. 또한, 세륨 산화막의 격자상수 (a = $5.411\AA$)는 실리콘의 격자상수 (a = $5.430\AA$) 와 비슷하며 큰 밴드갭(6eV) 및 높은 유전상수 ($\varepsilon$ = 26), 높은 열적 안전성을 지니고 있어 실리콘 기판에 사용된 기존 절연막인 사파이어나 질코늄 산화막보다 우수한 특성을 지니고 있다. 본 논문에서는 스퍼터링을 이용하여 세륨 산화막을 실리콘 기판 위에 형성하면서 기판가열 온도 조건을 각각 상온, $100^{\circ}C$, $200^{\circ}C$로 설정하였으며, 세륨 산화막의 증착 두께 조건을 각각 80nm, 120nm로 설정한 다음 퍼니스를 이용하여 $1100^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 동안 열처리를 거친 세륨 산화막의 결정화 형태 및 박막의 막질 상태를 각각 X선 회절 장치 (XRD) 및 주사전자현미경 (SEM)으로 관찰하였다.

Recently a fuel oil of the diesel engine of the marine ship is being changed with heavy oil of low quality as the oil price is higher more and more. Therefore the wear and corrosion in all parts of the engine such as cylinder liner, piston crown, spindle and seat ring of exhaust valves are predominantly increased. In particular the degree of wear and corrosion of piston crown is more seriously 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 weldment of the piston crown is a unique method to prolong the its life in a economical point of view. In this case, filler metals having a high corrosion and wear resistance such as stellite 6, Inconel 625 and Inconel 718 are mainly being used for repair welding. However it has been often happened that piston crown on the ship,s job site is being actually inevitably welded with mild filler metals. Therefore in this study, filler metals such as E4301, E4313 and E4316 were welded at SS401 steel as the base metal, and corrosion property of their weld metals in the case of post weld heat treatment or not was investigated with some electrochemical methods such as measurement of corrosion potential, cathodic and anodic polarization curves, cyclic voltammogram and polarization resistance etc. in 0.1% $H_2SO_4$ solution. Corrosion resistance of the weld metal of E4301 was better than the other weld metals in the case of no heat treatment, however, its resistance was considerably decreased with post weld heat treatment(annealing:$625^{\circ}C$, 2 hr) compared to other weld metals. The weld metals of E4313 and E4316 showed a relatively good corrosion resistance by post weld heat treatment.

In this paper, we propose technologies for enhancing the immersive realization of virtual objects in AR-based product design. Generally, multimodal senses such as visual/auditory/tactile feedback are well known as a method for enhancing the immersion in case of interaction with virtual objects. By adapting tangible objects we can provide touch sensation to users. A 3D model of the same scale overlays the whole area of the tangible object so the marker area is invisible. This contributes to enhancing immersion. Also, the hand occlusion problem when the virtual objects overlay the user's hands is partially solved, providing more immersive and natural images to users. Finally, multimodal feedback also creates better immersion. In our work, both vibrotactile feedback through page motors, pneumatic tactile feedback, and sound feedback are considered. In our scenario, a game-phone model is selected, by way of proposed augmented vibrotactile feedback, hands occlusion-reduced visual effects and sound feedback are provided to users. These proposed methodologies will contribute to a better immersive realization of the conventional AR system.

A carbon dioxide gas sensor was studied as a function of temperature and $CO_2$concentration in the Li$_2$ZrO$_3$ system. Lithium zirconate(Li$_2$ZrO$_3$) was synthesized by the heat-treatment of zirconia(ZrO$_2$)and Lithium carbonate(Li$_2$CO$_3$). The specimens were prepared both as bulk disk, 10mm in diameter and 1.0mm thickness, and thick films on an alumina substrate. Lithium zirconate readily responded to $CO_2$concentration from 0.1% to 100% in the range of 45$0^{\circ}C$ to $650^{\circ}C$. The sensitivity to $CO_2$ was dependent on the measuring temperature. Lithium zirconate(Li$_2$ZrO$_3$) decomposes into Li$_2$CO$_3$ and ZrO$_2$after the reaction with $CO_2$in the range of 45$0^{\circ}C$ to $650^{\circ}C$. Li$_2$CO$_3$ changes into Li$_2$O and $CO_2$ above $650^{\circ}C$. The material showed difficulty with reversibility and recovery. The optimum temperature for the highest sensitivity is around 55$0^{\circ}C$.

For the silver artifacts in the Koryo Dynasty excavated from Neungnae-ri Ganghwa island, the metallographic section analysis and hardness and chemical analysis were conducted. After making samples in the similar ratio of the composition concentration, the changes of the microstructure were checked according to the working method and temperature. The results show that those silver artifacts are Au-Cu alloys with 2 to 6 % of Cu. From the results it is judged that Cu was artificially alloyed with them to keep the proper hardness and identified that they were gilded by the amalgamation process seeing that mercury was included at the guilt layer. Also the porous texture on the surface of them could be formed at over $400^{\circ}C$, therefore, it is assumed the hot working or heat treatment at over $400^{\circ}C$ were performed. In silver artifacts made by the relief and repousse, they have the similar composition analysis to other 7 artifacts but the hardness is lower than pure silver. Consequently from differences in the hardness, it can be inferred that the low hardness of silver artifacts is concerned with manufacturing techniques.

Mechanical properties of HSLA cast steels alloyed with 0.15% Nb, Ti or V were tested as variations of austenizing temperatures and tempering times. The test results are as follows. The hardness of HSLA cast steels austenized for 2hrs at 115$0^{\circ}C$ was shown the highest value regardless of alloying elements and then decreased as the temperature decreased below 110$0^{\circ}C$. The hardness of HSLA cast steels with 0.15% Ti austenized for 2 hrs at $1150^{\circ}C$ was higher than that of any other HSLA cast steels, and chich was mainly attributed to the relatively high amount of bainite, and solid solution hardening. Charpy impact energy of HSLA cast steels was comparable to the C-Mn cast steel except HSLA cast steels with 0.15% Ti austenized at 115$0^{\circ}C$. The hardness of HSLA cast steels austenized for 2 hrs at $1150^{\circ}C$ increased at a ten-minute tempering, and after that, the hardness kept almost sililar level except HSLA cast steels with 0.15% V.
