This study has been performed to investigate into some effects of the power density and traverse speed of laser beam on the optical microstructure, hardness and wear characteristics of medium carbon low alloy steel treated by laser surface hardening technique. The results obtained from the experiment are summarized as follows : (1) Optical micrograph has shown that finer lath martensite is formed and the amount of undissolved complex carbides increases as the traverse speed increases under the condition of a given power density, whereas the coarsening of lath martensite and the reduction of undissolved complex carbides occur with increasing the power density at a given traverse speed. (2) Hardness measurements have revealed that as the traverse speed increases, hardness values of outermost surface layer more of less decrease under low power densities, but are uniformly distributed under high power densities, also showing that they are uniformly distributed at low traverse speeds and more or less decrease at high traverse speeds with increasing the power density. (3) The effective case depth has been found to decrease from 0.26 mm to 0.17 mm with increasing the traverse speed from 1.5 m/min to 3.0 m/min at a given power density of $25.48{\times}10^3w/cm^2$ and to increase from 0.20 mm to 0.36 mm with increasing the power density from $19.11{\times}10^3w/cm^2$ to $38.22{\times}10^3w/cm^2$ at a given traverse speed of 2.0 m/min. (4) Wear test has exhibited that the amount of weight loss of laser surface hardened specimen with respect to sliding distance at a given load increases with increasing traverse speed at a given power density and decreses with increasing power density at a given traverse speed.

It has been widely used ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) for the biomaterials due to its excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility. In the case of blend of UHMPE with another polymeric biomaterials, however, UHMWPE might have low blend compatibility due to surface inertness. In this study, in order to improve the mechanical properties of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) bone cement by means of the impregnation of UHMWPE powder, we developed the novel surface modification method by the mixture of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and xylene. We investigated the variation of composition of MMA/xylene. It was confirmed by the analysis of Fourier transform infrared-attenuated total reflectance, scanning electron microscope, universal transverse mercator, and digital thermometer. The maximum mechanical strength of surface modified UHMWPE powder impregnated PMMA bone cement compound was observed the ratio of 1 : 1 (v/v％) MMA/xylene. Also its curing temperature decreased from 103 $^{\circ}C$ to 58 ∼ 73 $^{\circ}C$ The mechanism of surface modification of UHMWPE powder by the mixture of MMA/xylene has been proposed.

A methodology is developed and used to evaluate the response sensitivity of the thermal systems to variations in their design parameters. Technique for computing the sensitivity of temperature distributions to changes in processing parameters needed to decide the more effective laser input parameters for laser surface hardening treatment is considered. In this study, a state equation governing the heat flow in laser surface treatment is analyzed using a three-dimensional finite element method and sensitivity data of the processing parameter obtained using a direct differentiation method is applied to the sensitivity analysis. The interesting processing parameters are taken as the laser scan velocity and laser beam radius ( $r_{ b}$), and the sensitivities of the temperature T versus v and $r_{b}$ are analyzed. These sensitivity results are obtained with another parameters fixed. To verify the numerical analysis results, hardened layer dimensions (width and depth) of the numerical analysis are compared with the experimental ones.nes.

The boronizing method using ferroborn and NaBF4 powder mixture was studied for surface hardening of medium carbon steel. This boride layer was compared with a boride layer that was formed in ferroboron and KBF4 powder mixture. The frequency factor and activation energy were discussed in this paper. The main results obtained can be summerized as follow. 1) The optimum range of NaBF4 content is 10 to 15% of weight to obtain a thick and dense boride layer. 2) The depth of the boride layer was approximately expressed by the following equation : {{{{d=100 exp (-18,000/RT) SQRT { t} }} 3) The oxidating resistance of boronized steel proved to be good at 800$^{\circ}C$ but almost unacceptable near at 900 $^{\circ}C$. 4) The NaBF4 effect was the same as that reported for KBF4.

In this study, residual stress and surface roughness were investigated experimentally to evaluate surface integrity on surface layer machined by CBN, ceramics and WC cutting tools. When machining difficult-to-cut material (hardened STD11 steel $H_{R}$C 60), residual stresses remaining in machined surface layer were mainly compressive. The increase of flank wear caused a shift of the compressive residual stress maximum to greater workpiece depths, but the changes did not penetrate the workpiece beneath a depth of 300 .mu. m. Surface roughness was influenced considerably by variations of the cutting speed and feed. In machining hard material, CBN and A1$_{2}$ $O_{3}$ ceramics cutting tool materials proved significantly superior to mixed ceramics A1$_{2}$ $O_{3}$-TiC and WC in evaluation of surface integrity.y.

Surface of exposed aggregate concrete pavements is consists of exposed coarse aggregate by removing upper 2$\sim$3mm mortar of concrete slab. Exposed aggregate concrete pavements have advantages of maintaining low-noise and adequate skid-resistance level during the performance period. In order to provide the successful exposed concrete aggregate pavement, uniform distribution of the coarse aggregate on pavement surface through adequate the mix design and exposing method. The mix design in concrete pavement is generally designed on the basis of strength, but mix design of exposed aggregate pavement employed in this study includes the consideration of noise and skid resistance, as well as strength. Smaller of maximum coarse aggregate is known to be effective for reduce noise level. Optimum mix design and exposing method of fine-size exposed aggregate portland cement concrete pavement that can reducing the noise and maintain the adequate level of skid resistance are proposed in this study. To consider the variation of optimum exposing time due to the hardening speed of mortar by climatic condition, quantitative is also suggested measurement of hardening state.

Polyurethane (PU)/organoclay nanocomposites were prepared by mixing UV curable urethane acrylate oligomer with organoclay, and a subsequent curing by UV irradiation. As organoclays, commercially available Cloisite 20A (C20A) and acrylsilane modified C20A were used. XRD and TEM analyses revealed that the UV cured PU/clay nanocomposites formed intercalated nanocomposites, and acrylsilane modified C20A are dispersed more finely than unmodified C20A in PU matrix. DMTA, pencil hardness and adhesion test onto PET substrate showed that the clay nanolayers induced an increase in the properties, and the enhancement in the properties was more pronounced in the PU/acrylsilane modified C20A nanocomposites than in the PU/unmodified C20A nanocomposites. It was also observed that the PU/surface modified clay nanocomposites showed remarkably lower shrinkage upon UV curing than the unfilled PU. The nanocomposites showed excellent optical transparency but lower gloss as compared to unfilled PU.

AF 코팅은 유리나 플라스틱과 같은 기재 표면을 특수 처리하여 지문과 같은 오염물질의 부착방지와 오염물질이 부착되더라도 쉽게 제거 가능하도록 하는 기술이다. 전자, 자동차, 건축, 섬유, 철강분야 등에 활용 가능한 중요기술로 박막의 발수 발유 기능을 부여하는 표면처리 기술이고, 코팅방법에는 진공증착, 스핀코팅, 딥코팅, 플로우 코팅, 스프레이 코팅 등이 있으며, 경화 방법이나 접촉각 등의 특성이 반영된다. 터치패널 등의 지문부착방지 기술은 불소계와 비불소계 재료로 구분할 수 있지만 지문을 쉽게 지울 수 있고, 오염 방지 기능과 내구성이 있으며, 우수한 광학특성을 유지하는 것이 과제라 할 수 있다. 그리고 항균성을 부여하는 기술도 개발되고 있다. 이런 터치패널의 강화유리에 AF 코팅한 제품은 핸드폰 글래스에 처음 적용하면서부터 실생활에 도입이 시작되고 있다. 이러한 AF 코팅을 스퍼터링 법을 이용하여 증착 시켰다. 기존에는 E-beam을 이용한 증착 방식이 주를 이루었지만, 스퍼터링 법을 이용함으로써 박막의 균일화 및 대량생산이 가능해졌다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 기존의 E-beam 방식과 sputtering 공정 중 ion source에 의한 전처리의 유무에 따른 박막의 특성을 비교하였다. 내부식성, 내마모성 시험을 거친 후, 접촉각을 측정하여 알아보았으며, 박막의 건전성 및 균일성은 FE-SEM을 이용하여 관찰하였다. 실험용 장비가 아닌 실제 생산장비인 직경 1,400 파이의 장비를 이용하여 증착하였으며 염수분무 및 내마모 시험 후, 기존 접촉각의 ${\pm}5^{\circ}$ 내외임을 확인 할 수 있었고, 박막의 건전성 또한 뛰어남을 알 수 있었다.

칼라도장강판은 금속 제품의 제품화 공정 중에 도장 공정을 생략함으로 경제적이며, 제조공정 중 발생할 수 있는 VOCs(Volatile Organic Compounds)의 배출 염려가 없어 건축 및 가전 산업에 다용되고 있다. 칼라도장강판은 용융아연도금강판(GI), 전기아연도금강판(EGI), 용융알루미늄아연합금도금강판 등이 기재로 적용되고 있으며, 최근 마그네슘 성분이 첨가되는 고내식 도금강판 개발과 함께 고내식 도금강판을 이용한 칼라도장강판의 개발 및 수요 발굴을 위한 연구가 활발하게 진행 중에 있다. 칼라강판의 구성은 일반적으로 도막 밀착성 확보를 위한 화성처리층, 기재와 도막간의 밀착성과 내식성 개선을 위한 하도층(primer layer), 가공성, 내오염성, 의장성 등의 기능성 부여를 위한 상도층(top layer)의 구조로 도장되어 있다. 도료는 가공성, 내오염성, 경도 등의 기능성이 우수한 폴리에스테르 수지계가 가장 폭넓게 사용되고 경화제로는 멜라민 화합물과 이소시아네이트 화합물이 널리 사용되고 있다. 칼라도장 강판은 1970년대 이후 본격적으로 보급되어 사용되기 시작하였으며, 화성처리층은 밀착성과 내식성이 우수한 크로메이트처리가 널리 사용되고, 하도층은 방청성이 우수한 크로메이트계 방청 안료를 함유시킨 도료가 일반적이다. 그러나, 전기전자 제품에 적용되는 칼라도장강판은 2006년에 RoHS 규제의 시행과 더불어 6가 크롬 사용 제한의 영향으로 크롬프리 화성처리가 일반화되어 적용되고 있으며, 그 동안 6가 크롬 제안이 유보적이었던 건축용 칼라도장강판 또한 크롬프리 화성처리층 및 크로메이트계 방청 안료의 하도층 적용을 회피하고 있는 추세이다. 이에 따라, 고내식 합금도금강판을 기재로 사용하고 기존의 화성처리층과 하도층에 크롬프리 수지를 적용하는 연구개발이 활발하게 진행 중에 있다. 본 연구에서는 마그네슘이 첨가된 고내식 합금도금강판으로 Al-Mg-S i강판과 용융 Zn-Al-Mg 합금도금강판에 기존의 상용화 공정에서 사용되는 크롬계 및 크로프리 화성처리 적용 칼라도장강판에 대한 내식성 등 칼라도장강판의 특성에 대해 발표한다.

New cinnamate group-containing copolymers for a self-curable, humidity-sensitive polyelectrolyte and polymeric anchoring agents were prepared by copolymerization of [2-[(methacryloyloxy) ethyl]dimethyl]propyl ammonium bromide(MEPAB), methyl methacrylate(MMA), 3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyl methacrylate(TMSPM) and 2-(cinnamoyloxy)ethyl methacrylate(CEMA). Photocrosslinkable copolymer composed of MEPAB/MMA/TMSPM/CEMA＝70/20/0/10 were used for humidity-sensitive membrane, and those of 50/0/20/30 and 0/0/50/50 were used for polymeric anchoring agents. 3- (Triethoxysilyl)propyl cinnamate(TESPC) was also used as a surface-pretreating agent for the comparison of capability of attachment of polyelectrolyte to the electrode surface with polymeric photocurable silanecoupling agents. Pretreatment of the electrode substrate with anchoring agents was performed to form a cinnamate thin film on the electrode through covalent bonds. When the sensors were irradiated with UV light, the anchoring of a polyelectrolyte into the substrate was carried out via the [2$\pi$+2$\pi$] cycloaddition. The resulting sensors using polymeric anchoring agents and TESPC showed water durability with increase of resistance by 60~85%, which is corresponding to the reduction of 2.25~3.15%RH, after soaking in water for 24 h. They showed good hysteresis (-0.2%RH), response time (90 sec) and long-term stability at high temperature and humidity.
