Toughening mechanism of boron carbide ceramics by the addition of titanium boride was investigated. Speci-men was prepared by hot pressing of boron carbide with upto 30vol% of titanium boride particulates. Toughness of boron carbide ceramics was increased from 4.7 MPa m1/2 to 6.3 MPa m1/2 with 15 vol% TiB2 addition. But further increase of TiB2 content results in slow decrease of toughness. From microstructure evaluation and crack propagation behavior it is concluded that the major toughening mechanism is crack deflection pheno-mena.

The hardness of laser weldments has been predicted by using several carbon equivalent equations and estimation models. In this study, authors extended the model to boron steel sheets which are adopted for the hot press forming process. four kinds of boron steels with the strengths from 1500 MPa to 1900 MPa were considered and the hardness profiles of weldments was measured from the experiments of this study and the references. The traditional "Kaizu" equation could predict the hardness with an accuracy of -4.9% error although the Kaizu equation does not consider the boron content. Modified carbon equivalents were suggested by adding a term as like 5B or 14B into the Kaizu equation, and it could improve the accuracy of the prediction model.

This research was performed to investigate the diffusivity of borate rods in radiata pine (Pinus radiata D. Don) conditioned to 40 percent moisture content (MC). The deepest penetration of boron were observed in the longitudinal direction, followed by the radial and the tangential directions. The boron loading on the wood face adjacent to the borate rod tended to increase with diffusion time in all directions. To mathematically quantify boron diffusion, the diffusion coefficient of boron was determined using Boltzmann's transformation by assuming that it was a function of concentration only. The values of the longitudinal diffusion coefficients were between 1.3×10^-8 cm²/sec and 9.2×10^-8 cm²/sec. The radial diffusion coefficients were between 1.4×10^-8 cm²/sec and 9.5×10^-8 cm²/sec, and the tangential diffusion coefficients were between 5.2×10^-9 cm²/sec and 1.3×10^-8 cm²/sec. The differences of diffusion coefficients between the longitudinal direction and the radial direction were slight, although their concentration profiles were markedly different. This indicates that the amount of boron loading on the wood face adjacent the borate rod is one of the most important factor for boron penetration in wood with low MC.

Ti-B system ceramics were prepared by the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis method from the mixture of metal titanium and boron powders The major crystalline phase as a function of boron content was TiB for mixtures containing 0.5 or 1.0mol B, and TiB2 for these containing over 1.3mol B. The combustion mode observed by a high-speed camera was steady-state. The Combustion velocity increased with increasing the boron content. Sintered TiB2 specimen showed the density of 97% of theoretical valve, Vicker's hardness of 2250kg/㎟ for 0.2kg load and three-point-flexure strength of 500MPa.

Objectives: This study was conducted to investigate the boron concentrations in 30 slime products and estimate children's dermal exposure to boron. Methods: Thirty slime products from online and offline stores were purchased for boron analysis. The boron content of each slime sample was analyzed using ICP-OES. A nationwide survey was performed to determine use patterns of slimes by a home-visit survey of 10,000 children divided into three age groups: 0-2, 3-6, and 7-12 years. The dermal exposure to boron was calculated using an exposure algorithm for child slime users. Results: The proportion of the child population using slime was 45.8%, and the mean use frequency was $2.5{\pm}3.8$ per week (range: 0.08-35). Mean time spent playing with slime was $19.6{\pm}11.3min$ (range: 1-100). Twenty-five of the thirty slimes contained a boron concentration exceeding the EU limit for toys made with sticky material of 300 mg/kg. Dermal exposure ranged from $0.0008-13.78{\mu}g/kg/day$ with the maximum weight fractions of boron in the 30 products. The dermal exposure estimate was the highest in 7-12 years old group. Conclusion: Slime use among Korean children may cause high exposure to boron. Regulation is needed to minimize boron exposure from slime products.

본 연구는 산지개간상전에 발생하는 발아불량현상의 원인을 구명하고 방제법을 대립코자 1971∼1974년까지 4개년간에 걸처 실시하였으며 그 결과는 다음과 같았다. 1. 피해증상은 춘기에는 지조의 선단부가 발아를 하지 않거나 발아도중 즉 탈포∼연구기까지 진행되다가 갑자기 말라 죽는다. 발아불량지조의 피층 및 인피부에는 Necrosis 현상이 일어나고 갈색으로 변한다. 추기에는 엽의 노화, 선단엽의 이상, 엽맥, 엽병이 양변한다. 2. 발아불량상전토양은 화강암모재에 점질의 비율이 매우 낮은 사양토로 되어 있으며 하층토가 치밀 견고하고 공극률이 너무 적어서 근군발달에 매우 불량한 토양구조로 되어 있었다. 특히 발아불량극심지의 심토는 건전지에 비하여 고상이 과대하여 한발시에는 수분부족현상이 일어나기 쉬운 조건을 갖추고 있었다. 3. 발아불량극심상전은 건전상전에 비하여 토양수분함량이 유의하게 적었으며 특히 심토의 수분함량은 건전지가 적당한 수분함량을 유지하고 있었는데 반하여 발아불량극심지는 거의 위조점에 가까운 수분함량이었다. 4. 유방토심은 발아불량상전이 건전상전에 비하여 얕았고, 발아불량정도가 기한곳일수록 유방토심은 얕아지는 경향을 나타냈다. 5. 토양수분함량의 경시적변화는 토양내 유방붕소함량에 영향을 미쳤으며 발아불량상전의 수분함량은 건전상전에 비하여 6월 5일부터 9월 5일까지 계속 적은 함량을 유지하고 있었고, 유방붕소함량도 수분함량의 증감과 같은 경향으로 변화되였다. 6. 토양의 pH(4.7-5.6)와 유방붕소함량간에는 상관관계가 없었으나 유기물함량과 유방붕소함량간에는 고도의 정상관관계가 있었다. 7. 토양중 유방붕소함량은 발아불량상전이 0.19∼0.28ppm, 건전상전이 0.34∼0.43ppm으로서 발아불량상전보다 유의하게 많았다. 8. 엽 및 피층내의 붕소함량은 발아불량수가 건전수보다 유의하게 적었다. 9. 사경시험의 붕소결제구에서는 발아불량현상이 유발되었으며 그 피해증상은 포장에서 발생되는 증상과 동일하였다. 10. 석회의 시용은 시용량이 증가할 수록 발아불량현상을 다소 높게하는 경향이 있었다. 이상의 결과를 종합하여 볼때 뽕나무의 발아불량현상은 붕소의 결핍에 기인되나 붕소의 결핍피해정도는 토양모재, 토양내 유기물함량 및 수분함량 그리고 석회시용등에 의해서도 좌우되는 것으로 인정된다. 11. 발아불량현상은 붕사를 10a 당 6∼9kg을 춘, 하2회분시하면 방제할 수 있으며, 10a당2,000kg의 퇴비를 수년간 계속시용하는 방법도 상당한 방제방과를 얻을 수 있다고 믿어진다.

This study was conducted to analyze the application of boron compounds, methyl methacrylate (MMA), and heat treatment (HT) on changes in the density, moisture content, and flexural properties of samama (Anthocephalus macrophyllus) wood. Samama wood was impregnated with borax (BX) and boric acid (BA) using a pressure method at 5 atm for 4 h. Afterwards, the wood was impregnated with MMA at the same pressure and duration. Finally, the samama wood was given HT at 90 ℃ and 180 ℃. The results indicate that there was a weight gain of 93.4% in the wood impregnated using BA and MMA monomer and HT at 90 ℃. Consequently, the wood's density increased by 82.3%. Increased MOE and MOR percentages of 32.2% and 29.4%, respectively, were also found. HT at 180 ℃ degraded the wood components and MMA, and consequently, the density, MOE, and MOR also decreased. The wood impregnated by BX, BA, and MMA, and subjected to HT also had decreased moisture content (MC). This research recommends that the application of boron (BX, BA) should be combined with an MMA monomer and HT at 90 ℃ as an alternative method to improve samama wood quality. If darker color is preferable, HT should be conducted at 180 ℃.

Ternary Ti-B-C coatings were synthesized on WC-Co and Si wafers substrates by a PECVD technique using a gaseous mixture of $TiCl_4,\;BCl_3,\;CH_4,\;Ar,\;and\; H_2$. The effects of deposition variables such as substrate temperature, gas ratio, $R_x=[BCl_3/(CH_4+BCl_3)]$ on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti-B-C coatings were investigated. From our instrumental analyses, the synthesized Ti-B-C coatings was confirmed to be composites consisting of nanocrystallites TiC, quasi-amorphous TiB2, and amorphous carbon at low boron content, on the contrary, nanocrystallites $TiB_2$, quasi-amorphous TiC, and amorphous carbon at relatively high boron content. The microhardness of the Ti-B-C coatings increased from $\~23 GPa$ of TiC to $\~38 GPa$ of $Ti_{0.33}B_{0.55}C_{0.11}$ coatings with increasing the boron content. The $Ti_{0.33}B_{0.55}C_{0.11}$ coatings showed lower average friction coefficient of 0.45, in addition, it showed relatively better wear behavior compared to other binary coatings of $TiB_2$ and TiC. The microstruture and microhardness value of Ti-B-C coatings were largely depend on the deposition temperature.

Effect of ultrasonic agitation on the contact properties was studied in Ni electroless plating and Pd activation. P-type Si bare wafers were used as substrate and DMAB was used as reducing agent due to its good electrical properties, solderability and compatibility to substrate. In activation, high density Pd nuclei of small size were formed during ultra-sonic agitation compared to that of no stirring. In electroless plating, the plating rate was enhanced by 30∼90% by using ultrasonic agitation. In elecrtoless plating, inhibitor is the most effective additives in ultrasonic agitation. In this experi-ment, thiourea was used as inhibitor. The less the amount of the inhibitor, the more ultrasonic agitation efficiency. It is confirmed by SEM that Ni-B films formed by ultrasonic were coarser, less porous, and denser than those of no stirring. In ultrasonic agitation, boron content of the films was more than those of no stirring. In this case, the more DMAB concentration, the higher the temperature, the less pH, the more boron content. Resistivity of the films formed by ultrasonic agitation was higher than that of no strirring. As the content of boron was increased, the resistivity of the films was increased exponentially.
