The effects of pre-heat treatment(Q/T) on microstructure and hardness of SCM435 structural steel nitrided by micro-pulse plasma was investigated. The quenching and tempering temperatures for obtaining matrix hardness of SCM435 steel on range of HRC30 to HRC40 desired for machine parts were about $860^{\circ}C$ and $500^{\circ}C$ respectively. The case depth of SCM435 nitrided at $480^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours was independent of pre-heat treatment condition and was approximately $150{\mu}m$. However, hardness and compactness of nitrified layer on Q/T treated specimen were more heigher than annealed specimen. The case depth increased linearly with the increase of nitriding temperature, however, the hardness of nitrified layer decreased with the temperature. Phase mixture of ${\gamma}^{\prime}$-phase($Fe_4N$) and ${\varepsilon}$-phase($Fe_3N$) were detected by XRD analysis in the nitrified layer formed at optimum nitriding condition, and only single ${\gamma}^{\prime}$-phase was detected in the nitrified layer formed at higher nitriding temperature such as $540^{\circ}C$. The optimum nitriding temperature was approximately $480^{\circ}C$ which is lower than tempering temperature for preventing softening behavior of SCM435 matrix during nitriding process and the surface hardness of nitrified layer obtained by optimum preheat treatment condition was about Hv930.

This paper presents development of an special metal hydride(SMH) actuator system using a peltier module. The newly developed simple SMH actuator, consisting of the plated hydrogen-absorbing alloy as a power source, Peltier elements as a heat source and a cylinder with metal bellows as a functioning part, has been developed. The SMH actuator is characterized by its small size, low weight, noiseless operation and a compliance similar to that of human body. A new SMH actuator that uses reversible reactions between the heat energy and mechanical energy of a hydrogen absorbing alloy. It is well known that hydrogen-absorbing alloys can reversibly absorb and desorb a large amount of hydrogen, more than about 1000 times of their own volume. To improve the thermal conductivity of the hydrogen-absorbing alloy, an electro-less copper plating has been carried out. For this purpose, the effects of the electro-less copper plating and the dynamic characteristics of the SMH actuator have been studied. The hydrogen equilibrium pressure increases and hydrogen is desorbed by heating the hydrogen-absorbing alloys, whereas by cooling the alloys, the hydrogen equilibrium pressure decreases and hydrogen is absorbed. The SMH actuator has the characteristic of being light and easy to use. Therefore, it is suitable for medical and rehabilitation applications.

복합전기도금은 도금 중 반응성이 없는 물질을 첨가하여 도금층 내부에 함께 존재하도록 함으로써 이루어진다. 퍼멀로이는 철과 니켈의 합금을 말하는 것으로써 높은 투자율를 나타내기 때문에 산업 여러 분야에 응용된다. 복합도금을 통해 제품의 미세경도를 향상시킬 수 있으며 이는 제품의 수명과 연관된다. 하지만 실리카 나노분말 표면의 수산화기는 표면을 수분에 취약하게 만들고 이는 나노분말의 응집을 발생시켜 균일한 도금층의 형성을 어렵게 하는 요인이 된다. 본 연구에서는 실리카 나노분말의 응집을 줄이기 위하여 첨가제의 변화, 초음파 처리 시간의 변화를 살펴보았다. 초음파 처리시간의 증가시 입자의 분산효과가 좋았고 조성의 변화가 발생하였다. 첨가제에 따라 표면 형상과 공석되는 실리카 나노입자의 함량 차이가 나타났다. 염기성 도금용액에서 sodium lauryl sulfate를 사용하였을 경우 표면이 매끄럽고 공석되는 실리카 나노분말의 양도 높았다.

본 연구에서는 철과 니켈의 합금강 제조공정에서 발생하는 산업부산물인 페로니켈슬래그를 혼입하여 기존 결합재와의 화학반응 및 성능을 확인하였다. 고로슬래그 미분말과 페로니켈슬래그를 활용하여 시멘트 대비 치환률 50%까지 삼성분계 치환하여 실험을 통해 기초 물성 및 특징을 평가하였다. 실험 결과에 따르면 페로니켈슬래그를 혼입할 시 포졸란 반응이 기여하여 밀실한 내부 공극 및 수화물이 형성되었고, 수화열과 건조 수축 감소 효과도 나타났다. 압축강도는 초기 재령에는 다소 저조한 강도발현을 나타냈으나, 28일 장기재령으로 갈수록 강도 증가가 나타났다. 추후 최적 배합을 도출하여 용도에 맞게 활용할 경우 시멘트 결합재로서의 활용 가능성이 기대된다.

The intermittent characteristics of renewable energy complicates the process of balancing supply with demand. Electrolysis technology can provide flexibility to grid management by converting electricity to hydrogen. Alkaline electrolysis has been recognized as established technology and utilized in industry for over 100 years. However, high overpotential of oxygen evolution reaction in alkaline water electrolysis reduces the overall efficiency and therefore requires the development of anode catalyst. In this study, Raney Ni-Zn-Fe electrode was prepared by electroplating and the electrode characteristics was studied by varying electroplating parameters like electrodeposition time, current density and substrate. The prepared Raney Ni-Zn-Fe electrode was electrochemically evaluated using linear sweep voltammetry. Physical and chemical analysis were conducted by scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive spectrometer, and X-ray diffraction. The plating time did not changed the morphology and composition of the electrode surface and showed a little effect on overpotential reduction. As the plating current density increased, Fe content on the surface increased and cauliflower-like structure appeared on the electrode surface. In particular, the overpotential of the electrode, which was prepared at the plating current density of 320 mA/㎠, has showed the lowest value of 268 mV at 50 mA/㎠. There was no distinguishable overpotential difference between the type of substrate for the electrodes prepared at 80 mA/㎠.

Purpose: This study was to assess the extents of the release of metals from the non-precious alloys used for dental casting by measuring the differences in the extents of the release of metals by types of alloys, pH level and elapsed time. Methods: Uniform-sized specimens(10 each) were prepared according to the Medical Device Standard of the Korea Food and Drug Administration(2010) and International Standard Organization(ISO22674, 2006), using four types of alloys(one type of Ni-Cr and one type of Co-Cr used for fixed prosthesis, and one type of Ni-Cr and one type of Co-Cr used for removable prosthesis). A total of 12 metal-release tests were performed at one-day, three-day, and two-week intervals, for up to 20 weeks. The metal ions were quantified using an Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometer. Results: The results showed that the extent of corrosion was higher in the ascending order of Jdium-$100^{(R)}$, Bellabond-$Plus^{(R)}$, Starloy-$C^{(R)}$, and Biosil-$F^{(R)}$. The lower the pH and the longer the elapsed time were, the greater the increase in metal corrosion. At pH 2.4, the release of Ni from Jdium-$100^{(R)}$, a Ni-Cr alloy, was up to 15 times greater than the release of Co from the Co-Cr alloy from two weeks over time, indicating that the Ni-Cr alloy is more susceptible to corrosion than the Co-Cr alloy. Conclusion: It is recommended that Co-Cr alloy, which is highly resistant to corrosion, be used for making dental prosthesis with a non-precious alloy for dental casting, and that non-precious alloy prosthesis be designed in such a way as to minimize the area of its oral exposure. For patients with non-precious alloy prostheses, a test of the presence or absence of periodontal tissue inflammation or allergic reaction around the prosthesis should be performed via regular examination, and education on the good management of the prosthesis is needed.

Hot workability of the AA5083 alloy ws investigated by torsion test at temperature ranges of $350{\sim}520^{\circ}C$ and strain rates of 0.5, 1.0, and 3.0/sec. The flow stress and hot ductility of the AA5083 alloy as a function of deformation variables such as temperature and train rate were studied. The microstructural evolution of the AA5083 alloy was studied in relation to Zener-Hollomon parameter (Z=exp( /RT) Also the hot restoration mechanism of the AA5083 alloy was small when Z val-ues were higher than $1.73{\times}1016/sec(370^{\circ}C,\;0.5/sec)$ In addition the difference microstructures during hot deformation. It was found that the increase of flow curves and deformed microstructures during hot deformation. It was found that the increase of flow stress of the AA5083 alloy was small when Z val-ues were higher than $1.73{\times}1016/sec(370^{\circ}C.\;0.5/sec)$. However under the low Z values less than $1.73{\times}1016/sec(370^{\circ}C,\;0.5/sec)$ the flow stress increase with increasing the Z values. The large dispersoid particles in the matrix grain decreased the flow strain of the AA5083 alloy because it caused the stress concentration during hot deformation.

This paper is concerned with the analysis on the surface expansion of AA 2024 and AA 1100 aluminum alloys in backward extrusion process. Due to heavy surface expansion appeared usually in the backward can extrusion process, the tribological conditions along the interface between the material and the punch land are very severe. In the present study, the surface expansion is analyzed especially under various process conditions. The main goal of this study is to investigate the influence of degree of reduction in height, geometries of punch nose, friction and hardening characteristics of different aluminum alloys on the material flow and thus on the surface expansion on the working material. Two different materials are selected for investigation as model materials and they are AA 2024 and AA 1100 aluminum alloys. The geometrical parameters employed in analysis include punch corner radius and punch nose angle. The geometry of punch follows basically the recommendation of ICFG and some variations of punch geometry are adopted to obtain quantitative information on the effect of geometrical parameters on material flow. Extensive simulation has been conducted by applying the rigid-plastic finite element method to the backward can extrusion process under different geometrical, material, and interface conditions. The simulation results are summarized in terms of surface expansion at different reduction in height, deformation patterns including pressure distributions along the interface between workpiece and punch, comparison of surface expansion between two model materials, geometrical and interfacial parametric effects on surface expansion, and load-stroke relationships.

최근에 철도의 고속화에 따라 차량의 경량화가 요구되기 때문에 알루미늄을 적용한 차량이 증가하고 있다. 알루미늄 차량의 차체는 대부분이 가스용접을 사용하였으나, 이 용접방법은 접합부의 기계적 성질이 모재에 비해 상당히 저하되는 경향이 있다. Hitachi, Bombardier 등의 철도 선진 제작사를 중심으로 가스용접에 비해 접합부의 기계적 성질이 우수한 마찰교반용접을 알루미늄 차체의 용접에 적용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 철도차량에 사용되고 있는 A6005의 알루미늄 합금 압출재에 대하여 기존의 가스 용접방법인 GMAW와 새로운 용접방법인 마찰교반용접(FSW)을 적용한 경우에 접합부의 기계적 성질을 비교 분석하여 FSW가 GMAW에 비해 기계적 성질이 우수하다는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, FSW를 적용한 경우에 대해 용접 변수가 접합부의 기계적 성질에 미치는 영향을 민감도 분석을 통해 확인한 결과, 공구의 이송속도가 가장 큰 영향을 주는 용접 변수임을 알 수 있었다.
