Examination of two bronze vessels supposedly from the Koryo dynasty revealed that they consist of bowls and stands that are fixed together using rivet joints made of Cu-Ag alloys. The bowls and stands were forged out of unleaded bronze alloys of approximately 22 weight % Sn before being quenched from the ${\alpha}+{\beta}$ region of the Cu-Sn phase diagram. This specific alloy and the thermo-mechanical treatment constitute two key elements of the unique technical tradition called Bangcha (방짜) that has long been established in Korea. The high Sn content ensures better casting and the thermal treatment causes the brittle ${\delta}$ phase to be avoided in forging as well as in services. The experiment on the laboratory Cu-Ag alloys of varying Ag contents suggested that the Cu-Ag system was the best choice of materials for the rivets at the time in view of their color, availability, ductility and low melting points.

The metallic implant materials are widely used in biomedical industries due to their specific mechanical strenth, corrosion registance, and superior biocompatability. These metallic materials, however, suffer from the stress-shielding effect and the generation of artifacts in the magnetic resonance imaging exam. In the present study, we develope a Zr-based alloys for the biomedical implant materials with low elastic modulus and low magnetic susceptibility. The Zr-7Si-xSn alloys were fabricated by an arc melting process. The elastic modulus was 24~31 GPa of the zirconium-based alloy. The average magnetic susceptibility value of the Zr-7Si-xSn alloy was 1.25 × 10^-8cm³g^-1. The average I_corr value of the Zr-7Si-xSn alloy was 0.2 ㎂/cm². The Sn added zirconium alloy, Zr-7Si-xSn, is very interested and attractive as a biomaterial that reduces the stress-shielding effect caused by the difference of elastic modulus between human bone and metallic implant.

Tungsten carbide has many industrial applications due to its high electrical and thermal conductivity, high melting temperature, high hardness and good chemical stability. Because tungsten carbide is difficult to sinter, it is sintered with nickel or cobalt as a binder and is currently used in nozzles, cutting tools, and molds. Alumina is reported to be a viable binder for tungsten carbide due to its higher oxidation resistance and lower cost than nickel and cobalt. The ultrafine tungsten carbide-graphene-alumina composites were rapidly sintered in a high frequency induction heating active sintering unit. The microstructure and mechanical properties (fracture toughness and hardness) of the composites were investigated and analyzed by Vickers hardness tester and electron microscope. Since the high-frequency induction heating sintering method enables high-speed sintering, ultrafine composites can be prepared by preventing grain growth. In the tungsten carbide-graphene-alumina composites, the grain size of tungsten carbide increased with the amount of alumina participation. The hardness and fracture toughness of the tungsten carbide-5% graphene- x% alumina (x = 0, 5, 10,15) composites were 5.1, 8.6, 8.6, and 8.4 MPa-m^1/2 and 2384, 2168, 2165, and 2102 kg/mm², respectively. The fracture toughness increased without a significant decrease in hardness. Sinterability was improved by adding alumina to tungsten carbide-graphene.

The physical and chemical changes exhibited by high density polyethylene (HDPE) after treatment with hydrogen at a pressure of 90 MPa followed by rapid release of the hydrogen were studied. X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, thermo gravimetric analysis, and attenuated total reflectance (ATR)-fourier transform infrared (FTIR) were used for this purpose. As a result, it was found that the degree of crystallinity of HDPE decreased after hydrogen pressure treatment, while the average thickness of lamellae that constitute the crystals and the melting temperature of the crystalline region actually increased. The decomposition temperature also increased by about 3℃. In addition, it was found that the hydrogen bonding network between -OH groups in the HDPE sample was strengthened and partial chain scission occurred. These cut chains were found to be terminated by oxidative degradation such as cross-linking between chains, -C=O, -C-O, and -CHO, or by the formation of -CH₃ at the chain ends, as confirmed by ATR-FTIR.

보리를 thermostable ${\alpha}-amylase$와 amyloglucosidase로 처리하여 ${\beta}-glucan$을 얻은 후 정제과정을 통해 순수한 ${\beta}-glucan$을 얻어 보리 ${\beta}-glucan$의 열적특성을 연구하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 보리${\beta}-glucan$의 DSC thermogram은 3개의 흡열곡선을 나타냈으며 1차 흡열곡선은 겔화상전이 현상을 나타냈다. 보리 ${\beta}-glucan$의 농도가 증가함에 따라 겔화 온도범위와 엔탈피가 최대값을 나타냈으며 4 g/dl ${\beta}-glucan$의 To, Tp 및 Tc는 각각 $48.8^{\circ}C,\;61.2^{\circ}C$ 및 $78.5^{\circ}C$였고 엔탈피는 0.23 ca1/g이었다. pH 의존성에서 pH 7일 때 겔화온도의 범위가 넓었고 엔탈피도 가장 컸으며 산성과 알칼리성이 강할수록 낮은 값을 나타냈다. 염농도 의존성에서는 염을 가하지 않았을 때 겔화 온도범위와 엔탈피가 높았고 염을 첨가했을 경우 엔탈피는 급격히 감소하였으며 Tp와 Tc는 저온으로 이동되었으나 염농도 증가에는 영향을 받지 않았다. 보리 ${\beta}-glucan$의 열적특성에서 urea는 겔형성을 촉진시키는 active-reagent이었고 glycerol은 inactive-reagent임이 확인되었다. 열분해 현상에서 보리 ${\beta}-glucan$의 "true melting" 온도는 $184^{\circ}C$ 였고 엔탈피는 34.6 cal/g이었으며 분해온도는 $316^{\circ}C{\sim}346^{\circ}C$ 범위로 열에 대해 매우 안정한 물질임을 알 수 있었다.

Fabrication process of metal/intermetallic laminated composites by using self-propagating high temperature synthesis(SHS) reactions between Ni and Al elemental metal foils have been investigated. Al foils were sandwiched between Ni foils and heated in a vacuum hot press to the melting point of aluminium. SHS reaction kinetics was thermodynamically analyzed through the final volume fraction of the unreacted Al related with the initial thickness ratio of Ni:Al and diffusion bonding stage before SHS reaction. Thermal aging of laminated composites resulted in the formation of functionally gradient series of intermetallic phases. Microstructure showed that the main phases of intermetallics were NiAl and $Ni_3Al$ having higher strength at room and high temperatures. The volume fractions of intermetallic phases were measured as 82.4, 58.6, 38.4% in 1:1, 2:1, 4:1 initial thickness ratio of Ni:Al.

The laser surface modification has been reported for its functional applications for improving tribological performance, wear resistance, hardness, and corrosion property. In most of these applications, continuous wave lasers and pulsed lasers were used for surface melting, cladding, alloying. Since flexibility in processing, refinement of microstructure and controlling the surface properties, technology utilizing lasers has been used in a number of fields. Especially, femtosecond laser has great benefits compared with other lasers because its pulsed width is much shorter than characteristic time of thermal diffusion, which leads to diminish heat affected zone. Moreover, laser surface engineering has been highlighted as an effective tool for micro/nano structuring of materials in the bio application field. In this study, we applied femtosecond and nanosecond pulsed laser to treat biometals, such as Mg, Mg alloy, and NiTi alloy, by heating to improve corrosion properties and functionalize their surface controlling cell response as implantable biomedical devices.
