본 자동차 실린더 블록 주조시 실린더 보어 내에서 발생하는 열로부터 구조적 변형을 방지하는데 필요한 워터 자켓 코어용 주물사의 특성을 분석하였다. 샌드 코어의 특성평가를 위하여 인장강도 시험기, 입도 지수(AFS-GFN), 광학현미경을 사용하였다. 주물사의 SiO2 함량이 높으면 고온팽창에 의한 치수 불량, 베이닝 불량이 발생하며, 너무 낮으면 코어 파손, 기포, 화학적 소착 등이 발생하였다. 입도 지수와 입형이 코어강도와 레진 소비량에 영향을 미치고, 이로 인한 불량 유형 변화가 발생하였다. 건조사가 염분이 높을수록 코어 강도는 감소하며, 알칼리성일수록 코어 강도가 감소하였다. 레진 함량 1.6~1.8%에서 1시간 경화 이후에 코어 강도 증가는 대략 최대를 보였다.

In this study, the effects of heat and radiation on the degradation behaviour of fluoroelastomer under simulated normal operation and a severe accident environment were investigated using sequential testing of gamma irradiation and thermal degradation. Tensile properties and Shore A hardness were measured, and thermogravimetric analysis was used to evaluate the degradation behaviour of fluoroelastomer. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to characterize the structural changes of the fluoroelastomer. Heat and radiation generated in nuclear power plant break and deform the chemical bonds, and fluoroelastomer exposed to these environments have decreased C-H and functional groups that contain oxygen and double bonds such as C-O, C=O and C=C were generated. These functional groups were formed by auto oxidation by reacting free radicals generated from the cleaved bond with oxygen in the atmosphere. In this auto oxidation reaction, crosslinks were generated where bonded to each other, and the mobility of molecules was decreased, and as a result, the fluoroelastomer was hardened. This hardening behaviour occurred more significantly in the severe accident environment than in the normal operation condition, and it was found that thermal stability decreased with the generation of unstable structures by crosslinking.

Hydrogen infiltration into metals has been reported to induce alterations in their mechanical properties under load. In this study, we conducted CTOD (Crack Tip Opening Displacement) tests on steel specimens designed for use in liquid hydrogen storage systems. Electrochemical hydrogen charging was performed using both FCC series austenitic stainless steel and BCC series structural steel specimens, while CTOD testing was carried out using a 500kN-class material testing machine. Results indicate a notable divergence in behavior: SS400 test samples exhibited a higher susceptibility to failure compared to austenitic stainless steel counterparts, whereas SUS 316L test samples displayed minimal changes in displacement and maximum load due to hydrogen charging. However, SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) analysis results presented challenges in clearly explaining the mechanical degradation phenomenon in the tested materials. This study's resultant database holds significant promise for enhancing the safety design of liquid hydrogen storage systems, providing invaluable insights into the performance of various steel alloys under the influence of hydrogen embrittlement.

In this investigation, samples of the chemical (Hg_1-xPb_xBa₂Ca_1.8Mg_0.2Cu₃O_8+δ) were prepared utilizing a solid-state reaction technique with a range of lead concentrations (x = 0.0, 0.05, 0.10, and 0.20). Specimens were pressed at 8 tons per square centimeter and then prepared at 1,138 K in the furnace. The crystalline structure and surface topography of all samples were examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). X-ray diffraction results showed that all of the prepared samples had a tetragonal crystal structure. Also, the results showed that when lead was partially replaced with mercury, an increase in the lead value impacted the phase ratio, and lattice parameter values. The AFM results likewise showed excellent crystalline consistency and remarkable homogeneity during processing. The electrical resistivity was calculated as a function of temperature, and the results showed that all samples had a contagious behavior, as the resistivity decreased with decreasing temperature. The critical temperature was calculated and found to change, from 102, 96, 107, and 119 K, when increasing the lead values in the samples from 0.0 to 0.05, 0.10, and 0.20, respectively.

Many researchers are interested in the synthesis and characterization of carbon nitride and diamond-like carbon (DLq because they show excellent mechanical properties such as low friction and high wear resistance and excellent electrical properties such as controllable electical resistivity and good field electron emission. We have deposited amorphous carbon nitride (a-C:N) thin films and DLC thin films by shielded arc ion plating (SAIP) and evaluated the structural and tribological properties. The application of appropriate negative bias on substrates is effective to increase the film hardness and wear resistance. This paper reports on the deposition and tribological OLC films in relation to the substrate bias voltage (Vs). films are compared with those of the OLC films. A high purity sintered graphite target was mounted on a cathode as a carbon source. Nitrogen or argon was introduced into a deposition chamber through each mass flow controller. After the initiation of an arc plasma at 60 A and 1 Pa, the target surface was heated and evaporated by the plasma. Carbon atoms and clusters evaporated from the target were ionized partially and reacted with activated nitrogen species, and a carbon nitride film was deposited onto a Si (100) substrate when we used nitrogen as a reactant gas. The surface of the growing film also reacted with activated nitrogen species. Carbon macropartic1es (0.1 -100 maicro-m) evaporated from the target at the same time were not ionized and did not react fully with nitrogen species. These macroparticles interfered with the formation of the carbon nitride film. Therefore we set a shielding plate made of stainless steel between the target and the substrate to trap the macropartic1es. This shielding method is very effective to prepare smooth a-CN films. We, therefore, call this method "shielded arc ion plating (SAIP)". For the deposition of DLC films we used argon instead of nitrogen. Films of about 150 nm in thickness were deposited onto Si substrates. Their structures, chemical compositions and chemical bonding states were analyzed by using X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and infrared spectroscopy. Hardness of the films was measured with a nanointender interfaced with an atomic force microscope (AFM). A Berkovich-type diamond tip whose radius was less than 100 nm was used for the measurement. A force-displacement curve of each film was measured at a peak load force of 250 maicro-N. Load, hold and unload times for each indentation were 2.5, 0 and 2.5 s, respectively. Hardness of each film was determined from five force-displacement curves. Wear resistance of the films was analyzed as follows. First, each film surface was scanned with the diamond tip at a constant load force of 20 maicro-N. The tip scanning was repeated 30 times in a 1 urn-square region with 512 lines at a scanning rate of 2 um/ s. After this tip-scanning, the film surface was observed in the AFM mode at a constant force of 5 maicro-N with the same Berkovich-type tip. The hardness of a-CN films was less dependent on Vs. The hardness of the film deposited at Vs=O V in a nitrogen plasma was about 10 GPa and almost similar to that of Si. It slightly increased to 12 - 15 GPa when a bias voltage of -100 - -500 V was applied to the substrate with showing its maximum at Vs=-300 V. The film deposited at Vs=O V was least wear resistant which was consistent with its lowest hardness. The biased films became more wear resistant. Particularly the film deposited at Vs=-300 V showed remarkable wear resistance. Its wear depth was too shallow to be measured with AFM. On the other hand, the DLC film, deposited at Vs=-l00 V in an argon plasma, whose hardness was 35 GPa was obviously worn under the same wear test conditions. The a-C:N films show higher wear resistance than DLC films and are useful for wear resistant coatings on various mechanical and electronic parts.nic parts.

Horseradish peroxidase 효소촉매를 이용하여 dioxane:수용액(80:20 v/v) 혼합용액에서 poly(p-phenylphenol) 수지를 합성하기 위한 최적 반응조건과 생성된 수지의 열분해 안정성과 가열특성을 thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)와 differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) 방법을 통해서 각각 조사하였다. 효소의 사용량이 0.25 mg/mL로 증가할 때 수지의 합성수율은 급격하게 증가하였으나 효소의 사용량이 0.25 mg/mL 이상으로 증가하더라도 수지의 합성수율은 크게 증가하지 않았다. 또한 sodium acetate (100 mM, pH 4~6)와 sodium phosphate (100 mM, pH 7~9) 완충용액을 수용액으로 사용할 경우 pH가 증가할수록 페놀수지의 합성수율이 증가하였다. 그러나 수용액의 pH가 6과 9일 때, 수지의 합성수율은 사용하는 완충염의 종류에 따라서 크게 좌우되었다. 즉 pH 6에서 sodium acetate 대신 sodium phosphate를 사용하면 합성 수율은 15% 정도 감소하였다. 또한 pH 9에서 sodium phosphate 대신 sodium bicarbonate를 사용할 경우 합성 수율이 약 20% 정도 크게 감소하였다. 수용액의 pH가 4~7 범위에서 2,2'-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS)를 전자전달체로 사용하면(2 mM) 합성 수율이 약 10% 정도 향상되었다. TGA 실험결과 pH 9인 수용액에서 ABTS가 2 mM이 첨가된 합성수지의 $800^{\circ}C$에서의 잔류량(char yield)이 47%로 열분해 안정성이 가장 우수하였다. DCS 측정 결과 산성수용액에서 합성된 수지와 중성 및 염기성 수용액에서 합성된 수지의 구조특성은 서로 달랐다. 그러나 모든 합성수지는 열경화성 수지의 특성을 보여주었다.

최근 콘크리트 구조물은 염해, 중성화 및 동결융해 등에 의한 내구성능 저하의 사례가 증가하고 있다. 이렇게 내구성능이 저하된 콘크리트에 대한 다양한 대책이 강구되고 있으며, 그 중에서도 콘크리트의 표면을 보호하여 내구성능 저하의 요인을 차단하는 표면처리공법이 많이 사용되고 있다. 그러나 에폭시 등 유기계 및 시멘트계 보수재는 콘크리트의 물성의 차이로 인하여 시간이 경과함에 따라 보수층의 파단 및 들뜸 등 문제가 발생하는 사례가 보고되고 있다. 저자들은 콘크리트의 물성과 동일한 무기계를 주성분으로 한 표면 성능 개선제를 콘크리트에 도포하면, 칼슘이온 등과 반응하여 콘크리트의 조직이 치밀해짐으로써 $CO_2$ 가스, 염소이온 및 물 등 내구성능 저하요인을 차단하는 보수재를 개발하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 개발된 표면성능 개선제의 침투성능, 수밀성능, 통기성능, 화학저항성능, 용출저항 성능 및 열화된 콘크리트에 대한 적용성에 대하여 평가하였다. 그 결과, 표면성능 개선제는 콘크리트의 내부로 10mm 이상 침투되며 콘크리트의 수밀성능 및 통기성능 등을 향상시키는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 본 연구에서 개발된 표면성능 개선제를 콘크리트 구조물에 도포하면 콘크리트의 내구성능 저하를 방지할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Over last decade InGaN alloy structures have become the one of the most promising materials among the numerous compound semiconductors for high efficiency light sources because of their direct band-gap and a wide spectral region (ultraviolet to infrared). The primary cause for the high quantum efficiency of the InGaN alloy in spite of high threading dislocation density caused by lattice misfit between GaN and sapphire substrate and severe built-in electric field of a few MV/cm due to the spontaneous and piezoelectric polarizations is generally known as the strong exciton localization trapped by lattice-parameter-scale In-N clusters in the random InGaN alloy. Nonetheless, violet-emitting (390 nm) conventional low-In-content InGaN/GaN multi-quantum wells (MQWs) show the degradation in internal quantum efficiency compared to blue-emitting (450 nm) MQWs owing higher In-content due to the less localization of carrier and the smaller band offset. We expected that an improvement of internal quantum efficiency in the violet region can be achieved by replacing the conventional low-In-content InGaN/GaN MQWs with ultra-thin, high-In-content (UTHI) InGaN/GaN MQWs because of better localization of carriers and smaller quantum-confined Stark effect (QCSE). We successfully obtain the UTHI InGaN/GaN MQWs grown via employing the GI technique by using the metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. In this work, 1 the optical and structural properties of the violet-light-emitting UTHI InGaN/GaN MQWs grown by employing the GI technique in comparison with conventional low-In-content InGaN/GaN MQWs were investigated. Stronger localization of carriers and smaller QCSE were observed in UTHI MQWs as a result of enlarged potential fluctuation and thinner QW thickness compared to those in conventional low-In-content MQWs. We hope that these strong carrier localization and reduced QCSE can turn the UTHI InGaN/GaN MQWs into an attractive candidate for high efficient violet emitter. Detailed structural and optical characteristics of UTHI InGaN/GaN MQWs compared to the conventional InGaN/GaN MQWs will be given.
