Oxide layers were formed by an environmentally friendly plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) process on AZ91 Mg alloy. PEO treatment also resulted in strong adhesion between the oxide layer and the substrate. The influence of the KF electrolytic solution and the structure, composition, microstructure, and micro-hardness properties of the oxide layer were investigated. It was found that the addition of KF instead of KOH to the $Na_2SiO_3$ electrolytic solution increased the electrical conductivity. The oxide layers were mainly composed of MgO and $Mg_2SiO_4$ phases. The oxide layers exhibited solidification particles and pancake-shaped oxide melting. The pore size and surface roughness of the oxide layer decreased considerably with an increase in the concentration of KF, while densification of the oxide layers increased. It is shown that the addition of KF to the basis electrolyte resulted in fabricating of an oxide layer with higher surface hardness and smoother surface roughness on Mg alloys by the PEO process. The uniform thickness of the oxide layer formed on the Mg alloy substrates was largely determined by the electrolytic solution with KF, which suggests that the composition of the electrolytic solution is one of the key factors controlling the uniform thickness of the oxide layer.

The aim of this research was to investigate physical and mechanical properties of various composition panels, each fabricated with a ratio of fiber to particle of 2 to 10. Type A consisted of fiber-faces and particle-core in layered-mat system. Type B consisted of fiberboard-faces on particleboard-core. Type C consisted of fibers and particles in mixed-mat system. The results obtained from tests of bending strength, internal bond, screw holding strength and stability were as follows: 1. The bending strength and internal bonding of both the Type A panel and the Type B panel were higher than those of the Type C panel and three-layered particle board. 2. The mechanical properties of the Type C panel showed the lowest values of all composition methods. It seems that the different compression ratios of the particle and fiber interrupted the densification of the fibers when hot pressed. 3. The dimensional stability of layered-mat system panels consising of fiber-faces and particle-core was better the than control particleboard. 4. In composition methods of particle and fiber, layered-composition method was more resonable than mixed-composition. The Type B panel had the highest mechanical properties of all the composition types. 5. The Type A panel was considered the ideal composition method because of its resistance to delamination between the particle-layer and the fiber-layer and because of its lower adhesive content and more effective manufa cturing process.

Liquid phase sintering of 90W-6Ni-4Mn alloy has been investigated as functions of sintering atmosphere, heating rate, and reduction temperature. The present work accounts for the thermodynamic oxidatiodreduction reactions of constituent powders of W, Ni and Mn. By discounting these reactions, the previous investigations would obtain only the alloy with large pores and the lowered relative sintered density, by the liquid phase sintering under a dry hydrogen atmosphere. the sintering cycle consisted of a rapid heating to reduction temperatures under high purity nitrogen atmosphere, and holding for 4 hours and sintering at $1260^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour under a dry hydrogen gas. The relative density of the sintered alloy increased with increasing heating rate. As the reduction temperature increased, the relative density increased to the lm theotical density at the duction temture above $1150^{\circ}C$. The mimsturcatre of sintered alloys has been analysed by a scanning election microscope. The sintered density was compared with those obtained from the other investigators. It was found that the reduction $1150^{\circ}C$ results in the lowered densification of 90W-6Ni-4Mn alloy. This is caused by the fact that reducing reactions of W and Ni oxides contained in W an Ni powders concomitantly leads to oxidizing reaction of Mn powder the oxidized Mn is hardly reduced at sintering temperature and thereby remains large pores in the alloy. It is concluded that the W-Ni-Mn alloy with full density can be obtained by the precise control of atmosphere, heating rate, and sintering temperature.

The effect of TiO$_2$ on the sintering behavior of mixed UO$_2$-U$_3$O$_{8}$ Powder compacts has been investigated using the U$_{3}$O$_{8}$ powder made tv oxidation of defective UO$_{2}$ pellets. Without TiO$_2$, UO$_2$ pellet density is inversely proportional to U$_3$O$_{8}$ content and is below 94 %TD in the U$_3$O$_{8}$ range above 15 wt%. Using more than 0.1 wt % TiO$_2$, however, the density decreases slightly with U$_3$O$_{8}$ content and thus is higher than about 94% TD in the whole range of U$_3$O$_{8}$ content. The grain sizes of UO$_2$ pellets with more than 0.1 wt % TiO$_2$are larger than about 30${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Therefore, the U$_3$O$_{8}$ Powder can be reused without any restriction on its amount in UO$_2$ pellet fabrication by sintering the mixed UO$_2$-U$_3$O$_{8}$ compact with the aid of TiO$_2$. Mechanisms for densification and grain growth are proposed and discussed, based on a dilatometry study and an examination of microstructure. microstructure.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of applied pressure and sintering temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties for spark plasma sintering (SPS) from commercial pure titanium (CP-Ti) powders. Spark plasma sintering is a relatively new sintering technique in powder metallurgy which is capable of sintering metal and ceramic powers quickly to full density at a fairly low temperature due to its unique features. SPS of -200 mesh or -400 mesh CP-Ti powders was carried out in an $Ar+H_2$ mixed gas flowing atmosphere between $650^{\circ}C$ and $750^{\circ}C$ under 10 to 80 MPa pressure. When SPS was carried out at relatively low temperatures ($650^{\circ}C$ to $750^{\circ}C$), the high (>60 MPa) pressure had a marked effect on densification and grain growth suppression. The full density of titanium was achieved at temperatures and pressures above $700^{\circ}C$ and 60 MPa by spark plasma sintering. The crystalline phase and microstructure of titanium sintered up to $700^{\circ}C$ consisted of ${\alpha}$-Ti and equiaxed grains. Vickers hardness ranging from 293 to 362 Hv and strength ranging from 304 to 410 MPa were achieved for spark plasma sintered titanium.

Upconversion (UC) properties of Y₂O₃:Ho³⁺/Yb³⁺ spherical particles synthesized by spray pyrolysis were investigated by changing the dopant concentration and calcination temperature. Citric acid (CA), ethylene glycol (EG) and N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) were used to control the microstructure of Y₂O₃:Ho³⁺/Yb³⁺ particles. In terms of achieving the highest UC green emission intensity, the optimal concentrations of Ho³⁺ and Yb³⁺ were found to be 0.3% and 3.0%, respectively. In addition, the UC intensity of Y₂O₃:Ho³⁺/Yb³⁺ showed a linear relationship with the crystallite size. The use of organic additives allows Y₂O₃:Ho³⁺/Yb³⁺ particles to have a spherical and dense structure, resulting in significantly reducing the surface area while maintaining high crystallinity. As a result, the UC emission intensity of Y₂O₃:Ho³⁺/Yb³⁺ particles having a dense structure showed the UC emission intensity about 3.8 times higher than that of hollow particles prepared without organic additives. From those results, when Y₂O₃:Ho³⁺/Yb³⁺ particles are prepared by the spray pyrolysis process, the use of the CA/EG/DMF mixtures as organic additives has been suggested as an effective way to substantially increase the UC emission intensity.

본 연구는 지난 4년간 한국도로공사 시험도로 아스팔트 포장의 주요 손상인자의 정량화와 그 변화를 다루고 있다. 포장상태조사 장비인 ARAN(Automatic Road Analyzer)을 이용하여 준공 직후인 2002년 12월부터 2006년 10월까지 총 5차례에 걸쳐 아스팔트 전단면에 대해 노면상태를 측정하고 소성변형, 균열손상, 그리고 종단평탄성을 중심으로 그 결과를 분석하였다. 실내시험을 통해 시험도로의 아스팔트 혼합물의 온도와 하중 재하속도에 대한 선형점탄성 거동을 비교하고, 표층용 혼합물인 ASTM 19mm에 대해서는 동탄성계수에 미치는 공극률의 영향도 검토하였다. 일반 밀입도 표층 단면의 차륜부에서 추출한 시편의 공극률을 측정하여 시험도로 포장의 다짐도 변화를 추정하였으며 이를 바탕으로 다짐도-포장 손상의 관계를 검토하였다. 교통하중과 포장 손상과의 연관성 분석 결과 소성변형과 균열을 포함한 노면 손상의 증가는 교통하중이 재하되는 시기와 바로 일치하지는 않았으며 오히려 온도와 같은 환경에 더 영향을 받는 것으로 관측되었다. 반면에 노면 평탄성은 공용년수가 증가 하면서 교통하중에 민감하게 반응하였으며 환경인자와의 상관성은 매우 낮은 것으로 나타났다.

캐나다 서부 밴쿠버 지역의 Fraser강 바닥의 사질토 지반에 위치한 George Massey 침매터널이 지진 시에 어떻게 거동하는 지를 연구하였다. 지진으로 발생하는 간극수압을 계산할 수 있는 유효응력모델인 UBCSAND모델을 이용하여 지진하중으로 인한 지반의 변위와 침매터널의 거동을 예측하였으며, 이를 미국 Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute(RPI)에서 실시한 원심모형실험 결과와 비교하였다. 본 연구에서 해석한 George Massey 침매터널의 원심모형실험은 2개의 모델로 구성되었으며, Model 1은 기본 모델로서 원상태 지반을, Model 2는 다짐공법으로 지반개량을 실시한 지반을 모델링하였다. 원심모형실험 Model 1에서 설계지진으로 인한 주변 지반의 액상화로 모형터널의 변위가 크게 발생하였다. Model 2에서 다짐공법으로 터널 주변 지반을 개량하였을 때 모형터널의 수직 및 수평 변위는 Model 1보다 50% 정도 감소하였다. UBCSAND모델은 원심모형실험에서 계측된 과잉간극수압, 가속도, 변위를 비교적 잘 예측할 수 있었다. 이와 같이 검증된 수치해석방법은 유사한 지반에 설치된 침매터널의 지진 시 변위와 거동을 예측할 수 있으며, 액상화에 대한 지반개량공법과 개량범위를 체적화할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Polyurethane foam insulation required for storing and transporting cryogenic liquefied gas is already widely used as a thermal insulation material for commercial LNG carriers and onshore due to its stable price and high insulation performance. These polyurethane foams are reported to have different mechanical performance depending on the density, and the density parameter is determined depending on the amount of the blowing agent. In this study, density-dependent polyurethane foam was fabricated by adjusting the amount of blowing agent. The mechanical properties of polyurethane foam were analyzed in the room temperature and cryogenic temperature range of -163℃ at 1.5 mm/min, which is a quasi-static load range, and the cells were observed through microstructure analysis. The characteristics of linear elasticity, plateau, and densification, which are quasi-static mechanical behaviors of polyurethane foam, were shown, and the correlation between density and mechanical properties in a cryogenic environment was confirmed. The correlation between mechanical behavior and cell size was also analyzed through SEM morphology analysis. Polyurethane foam with a density of 180 kg/m³ had a density about twice as high as that of a polyurethane foam with a density of 96 kg/m³, but yield strength was about 51% higher and cell size was about 9.5% smaller.
