In this study, in order to fabricate sintered dental implant, the effects of HA, Ti and TiN on corrosion and biocompatibility, cell toxicity, osseointegration of electroless Cu-plated and sintered stainless steel implant were investigated using various characteristics. The effects of Ti/TiN/HA coating on the interface activation and surface characteristics of sintered stainless steels(SSS) by electron-beam physical vapor deposition(EB-PVD) method have been studied. Stainless steel compacts containing 2, 4, and 10 wt%Cu were prepared by electroless Cu-plating method which results in the increased homogenization in alloying powder. The specimens were coated with HA, Ti and TiN with few $\mu\textrm{m}$ thickness respectively by EB-PVD method. The microstructures and phase analysis were conducted by using SEM. Biocompatibility were investigated in experimental dog. The corrosion behaviors were investigated using potentiosat in 0.9% NaCl solution and corrosion surface was observed using SEM and XPS.

Fe-Cr-Al alloy has been studied for application in automobile muffler materials due to good corrosion and oxidation resistance. In order to develop the automobile muffler materials, corrosion behaviors of electron beam physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD) coated surface of muffler matericls of muffler materials were investigated using potentiostat. For 0.1M NaCl solution, corrosion potential and pitting potential of Fe-20Cr-10Al was higher than that of Fe-5Cr- 10Al samples. Especially, in the case of Ti and Nb coated samples, pitting potential increased remarkably compared with non-coated samples. For 0.1M $CaCl_2$ solution, Ti-coated Fe-20Cr-10Al showed remarkably improved pitting corrosion resistance in comparison with non-coated Fe-20Cr-10Al and Fe-5Cr-10Al. The number and size of pits were decreased in the case of Ti coated samples in the 0.1M NaCl and 0.1M $CaCl_2$ solution.

$MgF_2$ is a current material used for optical applications in the ultraviolet and deep ultraviolet range. Process variables for manufacturing $MgF_2$ thin film were established in order to clarify the optimum conditions for the growth of the thin film, dependant upon the process conditions, and then by changing a number of the vapor deposition conditions, substrate temperatures, and heat treatment conditions, the structural and optical characteristics were measured. Then, optimum process variables were thus derived. Nevertheless, modern applications still require improvement in the optical and structural quality of the deposited layers. In the present work, in order to understand the composition and microstructure of $MgF_2$, single layers grown on a slide glass substrate using an Electron beam Evaporator (KV-660), were analyzed and compared. The surface substrate temperature, having an effect on the quality of the thin film, was changed from $200^{\circ}C$ to $350^{\circ}C$ at intervals of $50^{\circ}C$. The heat treatment temperature, which also has an effect on the thin film, was changed from $200^{\circ}C$ to $400^{\circ}C$ at intervals of $50^{\circ}C$. The physical properties of the thin film were investigated at various fabrication conditions, such as the substrate temperature, the heat treatment temperature, and the heat treatment time, by X-ray diffraction, and field emission-scanning electron microscopy.

YSZ layer containing nano-sized particles has been deposited on the commercial A1203 substrate by Electron Beam Physical Vapor Deposition (EB-PVD). The role of coating rnjcrostructures of YSZ to indentation damage is studied. The different coating microsouctures are prepared by varying the substrate temperatures from $600^{circ}C$ to $800^{circ}C$ during the deposition. Microhardness test and Hertzian indentation are conducted on the $YSZ/Al_{2}O_{3}$ layered systems. The damage and flilure behaviors have been investigated according to the effect of microstructures and indentation loads. With increasing the substrate temperature during EB-PVD, the overall grain sizes are coarser and more faceted, which microsoucture ultimately influences on the indentation behavior, thus, YSZ/Al_{2}O_{3}$ layered system prepared at the substrate temperature of $800^{circ}C$ shows relatively higher damage tolerance.

The dental implant materials required good mechanical properties, such as fatigue strength, combined with a high resistance to corrosion. For increasing fatigue resistance and delaying onset of stress corrosion cracking, shot peening has been used for > 50 years to extend service life of metal components. However, there is no information on the electrochemical behavior of shot peened and hydroxyapatite(HA) coated Ti-6Al-4V alloys. To increase fatigue strength, good corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility, the electrochemical characteristics of Ti/TiN/HA coated and shot peened Ti-6Al-4V alloys by electron beam physical vapor deposition(EB-PVD) have been researched by various electrochemical method in 0.9%NaCl. Ti-6Al-4V alloys were prepared under the condition of hydrogen and vacuum arc furnace. The produced materials were quenched at 1000$^{\circ}C$ under high purity dried Ar atmosphere and were hold at 500$^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs to achieve the fatigue strength(1140㎫) of materials. Ti-6Al-4V alloys were prepared under the condition of hydrogen and vacuum arc furnace. Shot peening(SP) and sand blasting treatment was carried out for 1, 5, and 10min. On the surface of Ti-6Al-4V alloys using the steel balls of 0.5mm and alumina sand of 40$\mu\textrm{m}$ size. Ti/TiN/HA multilayer coatings were carried out by using electron-beam deposition method(EB-PVD) as shown Fig. 1. Bulk Ti, powder TiN and hydroxyapatite were used as the source of the deposition materials. Electrons were accelerated by high voltage of 4.2kV with 80 - 120mA on the deposition materials at 350$^{\circ}C$ in 2.0 X 10-6 torr vacuum. Ti/TiN/HA multilayer coated surfaces and layers were investigated by SEM and XRD. A saturated calomel electrode as a reference electrode, and high density carbon electrode as a counter electrode, were set according to ASTM GS-87. The potentials were controlled at a scan rate of 100 mV/min. by a potentiostat (EG&G Co.273A) connected to a computer system. Electrochemical tests were used to investigate the electrochemical characteristics of Ti/TiN/HA coated and shot peened materials in 0.9% NaCl solution at 36.5$^{\circ}C$. After each electrochemical measurement, the corrosion surface of each sample was investigated by SEM.

The effect of substrate rotation speed on the phase forming behavior and microstructural variation of 8 wt% yttria ($Y_2O_3$) stabilized $ZrO_2$ (8YSZ) coatings as a thermal barrier coating has been investigated. 8YSZ coatings with $100{\sim}200{\mu}m$ thickness were deposited by electron beam-physical vapor deposition onto a super alloy (Ni-Cr-Co-Al) substrate with a bond coating (NiCo-CrAlY). The width of the columnar grains of the 8YSZ coatings increased with increasing substrate rotation speed from 1 to 30 rpm at a substrate temperature range of $900{\sim}950^{\circ}C$. In spite of the different growth behaviors of coatings with different substrate rotation speeds, the phases of each coating were not changed remarkably. Even after post heat treatments with various conditions of the coated specimens fabricated at 20 rpm, only a change of color was noticeable, without any remarkable change in the phase or microstructure.

진공증착을 이용하여 제조된 알루미늄 박막은 증착 조건에 따라 그 특성이 현저히 달라지는 것으로 알려져 있다. 특히, 진공도와 증착율에 따라 비저항과 반사율, 표면 색상 등이 크게 달라지며 이에 따라 적절한 증발원 및 증착 방법의 선택이 박막의 특성을 좌우하게 된다. 알루미늄은 융점이 낮은 반면 증기화되는 온도가 높을 뿐만 아니라 고온에서는 대부분의 내화물 금속과 반응하기 때문에 저항가열 증발원을 이용하여 증발시키기가 매우 까다로운 물질중의 하나이다. 또한 전자빔으로 증발시킬 경우에는 열전도도가 커서 수냉 도가니를 통해 열이 빠져나가기 때문에 효과적인 증발을 위해서는 고전력을 투입해야 하는 어려움이 있다. 한편, 스퍼터링 증발원을 이용하여 알루미늄을 증착하면 낮은 증착율로 인해 반사율과 같은 제반 특성이 현저히 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 알루미늄 박막의 제조를 위한 최적의 증발원과 증착 방법을 소개하고 증착 조건과 박막 특성의 상관성 자료를 소개하였다. 이를 위해 각종 저항가열 및 전자빔 증발원 그리고 스퍼터링을 이용한 증발 실험 결과를 소개하고 증발원에 따른 알루미늄 박막의 특성 변화 그리고 제반 증착 조건이 박막의 특성에 미치는 영향을 소개하였다.

It has been investigated corrosion resistance and crystal structure of Zn-Cr coatings fabricated by electroplating method and electron-beam physical vapor deposition method(EB-P VD). The electroplated Zn-Cr alloy consists mainly of η'-Zn phase for the lower Cr content than 7.9 wt% Cr and ${\gamma}$'-ZnCr phase for the higher Cr content. In the Zn-Cr alloy fabricated by EB-PVD the ${\gamma}$'-ZnCr phase appeared clearly at 3 wt% Cr and it became the sole phase at 50 wt%Cr. The amount of η'-Zn phase decreased obviously with increasing Cr content when it exceeded 15 wt% Cr. The electrochemical measurement of the electroplated Zn-Cr film has shown corrosion potential of about -1000 mV. The current density of active region and the amount of dissolved Zn and Cr decreased significantly with increasing Cr content. The electrochemical characteristics of Zn-Cr alloy fabricated by EB-PVD have shown that the alloy of 50 wt% Cr had the highest corrosion potential(-500 mV) and the lowest critical passive current density than that of the electroplated.

박막의 제조는 많은 연구의 가장 기초가 되는 시편을 만드는 과정으로 현대의 과학기술에서 매우 중요한 공정 중의 하나이다. 그러나 이러한 박막의 제조는 제조하는 사람의 숙련도나 장치에 의존하며 경우에 따라서는 원하는 특성의 박막을 제조하는 것이 매우 어려운 작업이 되기도 한다. 따라서 경험이 없는 연구자의 경우는 때때로 까다로움과 번거로움을 느끼게 되며, 안정된 공정을 찾기까지 많은 시간을 소비 하게 된다. 특히 부적절한 증발방법의 선정에 따른 실험 결과는 경제적인 손실을 초래할 뿐만 아니라 실험하는 사람을 좌절시키는 가장 큰 요인이 되어왔다. 진공증착에 의한 박막의 제조는 증발법과 스퍼터링, 이온플레이팅 등의 방법이 있으며 이중 증발을 이용한 박막의 제조에는 저항가열 증발, 전자빔 가열 증발, 유도가열 증발 등의 방법으로 구분하고 있다. 저항가열 증발원은 가격이 저렴하다는 장점은 있으나 증발원이 손쉽게 파손되거나 증발량이 일정하지 않아 박막의 정밀 제어가 어려울 뿐만 아니라 때에 따라서는 1 ${\mu}m$ 이상의 후막 형성에도 어려움이 있는 등 많은 제약이 있다. 따라서 적절한 증발원의 선정이 실험의 효율성을 좌우하는 경우가 많다. 적절한 증발원의 선정과 효율적인 실험을 위해 증발원 제조회사에서는 증발원의 선정과 증발 조건과 관련된 자료를 카탈로그 형태로 발행하고 있다. 그러나 그러한 자료만으로는 객관적인 정보를 얻기에 충분하지 못한 경우가 많으며, 어떤 경우에는 저자 등의 경험과 일치하지 않는 정보도 포함하고 있었다. 전자빔 증발원은 냉각이 되는 Crucible에 물질을 담고 고전압의 전자빔으로 물질을 가열시켜 증발시키는 증발원으로 1960년대 이후 박막 제조 실험에 이용되기 시작하였다. 전자빔은 고순도의 피막 제조가 가능하고 증발물질의 교체가 쉬우며 고속 증발이 가능함은 물론 다층막의 제조가 용이하고 증발물질의 제조비용이 저렴하다는 장점이 있다. 이러한 장점 때문에 1970년대 이후에는 전자빔을 이용한 박막제조가 폭 넓게 이루어졌고 이때를 즈음하여 전자빔을 이용한 물질의 증발 특성이 논문으로 발표되기도 하였다. 본 연구에서는 증발에 관한 저자들의 경험을 바탕으로 저항가열과 전자빔을 이용하여 증발실험을 진행한 물질계를 중심으로 각 물질의 증발특성과 가장 효율적인 Liner 등에 대해 기술하였다. 특히, 각종 물질의 증발 특성을 체계화함은 물론 효율적인 증발 방법을 객관적인 Data와 함께 제공하여 효과적인 박막 제조 실험에 도움이 되고자 하였다.

Effects of HA and TiN coating on the electrochemical characteristics of Ti-6AI-4V alloys for bone plates were investigated using various test methods. Ti-6AI-4V alloys were fabricated by using a vacuum induction furnace and bone plates were made by laser cutting and polishing. HA was made of extracted tooth sintered and then tooth ash was used as HA coating target. The TiN and HA film coating on the surface were carried on using electron-beam physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD) method. The corrosion behaviors of the samples were examined through potentiodynamic method in 0.9% NaCI solutions at $36.5\pm$$1^{\circ}C$ and corrosion surface was observed using SEM and XPS. The surface roughness of TiN coated bone plates was lower than that of tooth ash coated plates. The structure of TiN coated layer showed the columnar structure and tooth ash coated layer showed equiaxed and anisotrophic structure. The corrosion potential of the TiN coated specimen is comparatively high. The active current density of TiN and tooth ash coated alloy showed the range of about $1.0xl0^{-5}$ $A\textrm{cm}^2$, whereas that of the non-coated alloy was$ 1.0xl0^{-4}$ $A\textrm{cm}^2$. The active current densities of HA and TiN coated bone plates were smaller than that of non-coated bone plates in 0.9% NaCl solution. The pitting potential of TiN and HA coated alloy is more drastically increased than that of the non-coated alloy. The pit number and pit size of TiN and HA coated alloy decreased in compared with those of non-coated alloy. For the coated samples, corrosion resistance increased in the order of TiN coated, tooth ash coated, and non-coated alloy.
