Ti-6Al-4V alloys are widely used as metal-lic biomaterials in dentistry and orthopedics due to its excellent biocompatibility and me-chanical properties. However, because of low biological activity, it is difficult to form bone growth directly on the surface of titanium implants. For this reason, surface treatment of plasma electrolytic oxidation(PEO) was used for dental implants. To enhance bioac-tivity on the surface, strontium(Sr) and sili-con(Si) ions can be added to PEO treated sur-face in the electrolyte containing these ions. The presence of Sr in the coating enhances osteoblast activity and differentiation, where-as it inhibits osteoclast production and prolif-eration. And Si has been found to be essen-tial for normal bone, cartilage growth, and development. In this study, electrochemical characteristics of Ca, P, Sr, and Si ions from PEO-treated Ti-6Al-4V alloy surface was re-searched using various experimental instruments. DC power is used and Ti-6Al-4V al-loy was subjected to a voltage of 280 V for 3 minutes in the electrolyte containing 5, 10, 20M% Sr ion and 5M% Si ion. The morphol-ogies of PEO-treated Ti-6Al-4V alloy by electrochemical anodization were examined by field-emission scanning electron micro-scopes (FE-SEM), energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and corrosion analysis using AC impedance and potentiodynamic polarization test in 0.9% NaCl solution at similar body tempera-ture using a potentiostat with a scan rate of 1.67mV/s and potential range from -1500mV to + 2000mV.

Commercially pure titanium (cp-Ti) and Ti alloys (typically Ti-6Al-4V) display excellent corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. Although the chemical composition and topography are considered important, the mechanical properties of the material and the loading conditions in the host have, conventionally. Ti and its alloys are not bioactive. Therefore, they do not chemically bond to the bone, whereas they physically bond with bone tissue. The electrochemical deposition process provides an effective surface for biocompatibility because large surface area can be served to cell proliferation. Electrochemical deposition method is an attractive technique for the deposition of hydroxyapatite (HAp). However, the adhesions of these coatings to the Ti surface needs to be improved for clinical used. Plasma electrolyte oxidation (PEO) enables control in the chemical com position, porous structure, and thickness of the $TiO_2$ layer on Ti surface. In addition, previous studies h ave concluded that the presence of $Ca^{+2}$ and ${PO_4}^{3-}$ ion coating on porous $TiO_2$ surface induced adhesion strength between HAp and Ti surface during electrochemical deposition. Silicon (Si) in particular has been found to be essential for normal bone and cartilage growth and development. Zinc (Zn) plays very important roles in bone formation and immune system regulation, and is also the most abundant trace element in bone. The objective of this work was to study electrochemical characteristcs of Zn and Si coating on Ti-6Al-4V by PEO treatment. The coating process involves two steps: 1) formation of porous $TiO_2$ on Ti-6Al-4V at high potential. A pulsed DC power supply was employed. 2) Electrochemical tests were carried out using potentiodynamic and AC impedance methoeds. The morphology, the chemical composition, and the micro-structure an alysis of the sample were examined using FE-SEM, EDS, and XRD. The enhancements of the HAp forming ability arise from $Si/Zn-TiO_2$ surface, which has formed the reduction of the Si/Zn ions. The promising results successfully demonstrate the immense potential of $Si/Zn-TiO_2$ coatings in dental and biomaterials applications.

이 논문은 total flux leakage (TFL) 방법을 이용해 외부텐던을 비파괴검사 하는 솔레노이드 형태의 센서의 측정 신호를 후처리하는 방법을 소개한다. 기존에 개발된 TFL 솔레노이드 센서는 1차 코일과 2차 코일로 이루어져 1차 코일에 정현파 형태의 교류를 입력하면 2차 코일에 그 미분에 비례하는 신호가 측정된다. 이때 진폭은 텐던의 단면에 비례하므로 파단 및 부식 여부를 확인할 수 있다. 따라서 TFL센서의 측정신호에서 진폭정보를 추출 하는 것이 중요한데 기존에는 단순히 극댓값을 모아 진폭정보를 취득했다. 하지만 이 방법을 사용하면 측정빈도가 크게 낮아져 추가적인 신호처리 및 인공지능 적용에 많은 제약이 생긴다. 이 논문은 높은 측정빈도를 가진 진폭정보를 추출하기 위해 진폭복조를 응용해 진폭정보를 획득하는 방법을 제시한다. 진폭복조를 이용해 진폭정보를 취득하면 측정빈도를 원시신호와 동일한 수준으로 유지할 수 있다. 이 방법은 TFL센서의 1차 코일 입력 주파수 선택과 센서를 외부텐던에 적용하는 속도 등에 제약을 없애주어 개발 방향에 많은 자유도를 부여한다. 또한 높은 측정빈도를 유지하므로 추가적인 신호처리나 인공지능 등을 활용 하는데 유리함을 제공한다. 제안된 방법은 실내실험을 통해 검증 되었으며 기존 방법과 비교해 어떤 장점이 있는지 분석했다. 제시된 예제의 경우 진폭복조를 사용한 방법이 기존 방법에 비해 100배 높은 측정빈도를 제공 하는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 주어진 상황과 구체적인 장비 설정에 따라 차이가 있겠지만 대부분의 경우 진폭복조를 사용해 진폭정보를 추출하면 기존 방법 대비 만족할만한 결과를 얻을 수 있을 것이다.
