Bearings are essential for reducing vibration and wear, in order to achieve high durability and increase longevity. White metal treatment of tilting pads via centrifugal casting method has the possibility of increasing durability. However, this manufacturing method has drawbacks such as long processing time, high defect rate, and harmful health effects. Laser cladding deposition technique is a powerful method that can address these issues by decreasing the processing time and providing good adhesion. In this study, we suggest optimum conditions for laser cladding deposition that can be used in industrial applications. We deposited a soft white metal layer on SCM440 that is primarily used in shafts to minimize wear of bearing pads. During the laser deposition process, we controlled factors such as laser power, powder feed rate, and laser head speed to determine the optimum conditions. In addition, we measured the hardness using micro Vickers, and performed field emission scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and friction tests to investigate the mechanical properties and surface characteristics for different parameters. Based on the experimental results, we suggest that laser power, powder feed rate, and laser head speed of 1.3 kW, 2.5 rpm, and 10 mm/s, respectively, constitute the optimum conditions for producing white metals using laser cladding.

Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is probably one of the most successful surgical interventions performed in medicine. Through the revolution of hip arthroplasty by principles of low friction arthroplasty was introduced by Sir John Charnley in 1960s. Thereafter, new bearing materials, fixation methods, and new designs has been improved. The main concern regarding failure of THA has been the biological response to particulate polyethylene debris generated by conventional metal on polyethylene bearing surfaces leading to osteolysis and aseptic loosening of the prosthesis. To resolve these problems, the materials of the modern THA were developed since then. Methods: A literature search strategy was conducted using various search terms in PUBMED. The highest quality articles that met the inclusion criteria and best answered the topics of focus of this review were selected. Key search terms included 'total hip arthroplasty', 'biomaterials', 'stainless steel', 'cobalt-chromium', 'titanium', 'polyethylene', and 'ceramic'. Results: The initial search retrieved 6921 articles. Thirty-two articles were selected and used in the review. Conclusion: This article introduces biomaterials used in THA and discusses various bearing materials in currentclinical use in THA as well as the newer biomaterials which may even further decrease wear and improve THA survivorship.

This study was conducted to investigate the brazing characteristics between Zircaloy-4 nuclear fuel cladding tubes and bearing pads with filler metals of amorphous $Zr_{1-x}Be_x$(0.3$\leq$x$\leq$0.5) binary alloy, in which they were produced in the ribbon form by the melt-spinning metod. The crystallization behavior, stability, hardness and micro-structure of brazed zone were examined by X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, micro-Vickers hardness test, optical microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. $Zr_{1-x}Be_x$(0.3$\leq$x$\leq$0.4) amorphous alloys were crystallized to $\alpha$-Zr with increasing the temperature, and the rest were transformed to ZrBe$_2$at higher temperatures. On the other hand, $Zr_{1-x}Be_x$(0.4$\leq$x$\leq$0.5) amorphous alloys were crystallized to $\alpha$-Zr and ZrBe$_2$, simultaneously. The thickness of the layer brazed with amorphous alloy was increased with increasing the beryllium content due to the higher diffusion of Be. The morphology of brazed layer with PVD Be filler metal showed dendrite while that brazed with amorphous alloys appeared globular. Micro-Vickers hardness of brazed zone increased as the beryllium content of filler metal was decreased.

In recently designed diesel engines, the running conditions for piston-pin bearings have become severe because of the higher combustion pressure and increased temperature. Moreover, the metal removal from the bushing material has strongly reduced the ability of the antifriction material to accept asperity contacts. Therefore, it is necessary to find ways of reducing wear scar on the connecting-rod small-end bushing and piston-pin boss bearing related to the higher combustion pressure on the power cell of an engine. In this work, the position and level of material removal from the surfaces of the bushing and bearing under such severe operating conditions - for example, maximum power and torque conditions of a passenger car diesel engine - are estimated for several combinations of surface roughness. First, piston-pin rotating motion is investigated by calculating the friction coefficient at piston-pin bearings, the oil film thickness, and the frictional torques induced by hydrodynamic shear stress. Subsequently, the wear scarring on the surfaces of a connecting-rod small-end bushing and two piston-pin boss bearings related to piston-pin rotational motion is numerically calculated under the maximum power and torque operating conditions. This work is helpful to determine the reasonable surface roughness of the bushing and bearing for reducing wear volume occurring at the interface between a bearing and a shaft.

The knee arthritis patients are generally performed standing position radiography. However, patients with pain caused by degenerative diseases or injuries in the knee have difficulty maintaining a standing position. Therefore, this study aims to develop a knee joint standing weight bearing projection assist device to solve these problems when patients undergo knee radiography due to various diseases. The design of the knee joint weight-bearing radiography assist device is carried out with 3D design and drawing production to secure basic data, electric support and frame manufacture. A fixed device for maintaining the patient's knee standing weight-bearing projection, an electric digital height device, a digital protractor, and a safety device were designed. The arm support is made of PVC with a cushion to relieve the impact and make it easier to remove debris. The digital electric device can be moved up and down according to the patient's height, and a remote control is attached. The safety device is made to be adjustable in size by attaching metal hooks on both sides of the frame and to shield the scrotum. A digital protractor was attached to the side frame to set the desired knee angle. When a self-made assist device was used to perform a knee joint standing weight bearing projection, it helped maintain arm support and lower extremities position. In addition, the height could be adjusted using an assist device during standing projections, which helped the patient maintain the position.

During sling wear of a ferrous metal, a surface layer is formed. Its microstructure, constituting phases, and mechanical property are different from those of the original wearing material. Since wear occurs at the layer, it is important to characterize the layer and understand how wear rate changes with different layers. Various layers are formed depending on external wear conditions such as load, sliding speed, counterpart material, and environmental conditions. In this research, sliding wear tests of pure iron were carried out against two different counterparts (AISI 52100 bearing steel and $Al_2O_3$) in the air and in an inert Ar gas atmosphere. Pure iron was employed to exclude other effects from secondary phases in steel on the wear. Wear tests were performed at room temperature. Worn surfaces, wear debris, and cross-sections were analyzed after the test. It was found that these two different counterparts and environments produced diverse layers, resulting in significant changes in wear rate. Against the bearing steel, pure iron showed higher wear rate in an Ar atmosphere due to severe adhesion than that in the air. On the contrary, the iron showed much higher wear rate in the air against $Al_2O_3$. Different layers and wear rates were analyzed and discussed by oxidation, severe plastic deformation, and adhesion at wearing surfaces.

철골구조물의 기둥이음 형식은 볼트연결이나 용접을 이용한다. 이러한 연결방법에서 부재의 축응력은 덧판의 볼트체결이나, 용접부위 를 통하여 그 응력이 전달되는 것으로 간주하여 설계, 시공되고 있다. 우리나라의 강구조 한계상태 설계기준에 따르면, 기둥 이음부의 고력볼트 및 용접이음은 이음부의 응력을 충분히 전달하여야 하고 이들 항복내력은 피접합재 항복내력의 1/2이상이 되도록 하여야 한다. 다만, 이음부에서 단면 에 인장응력이 없는 경우, 이음면이 절삭 마감으로 밀착되면 소요압축력 및 소요휨모멘트 각각의 1/4은 접촉면에 의해 직접 전달시킬 수 있다고 되 어있다. 반면에, 미국 철강협회설계기준(AISC Specifications and Codes)에서는 기둥이음에서 지압력에 따라 응력이 전달되도록 접촉면이 마무리 되어 있는 경우, 그 위치를 확보하는데 충분하도록 이음되어야 한다고만 되어있어, 설계자의 판단에 따라 압축력은 이음면의 직접접촉(Metal Touch)으로 상부에서 하부로 모두 전달할 수 있도록 되어있고, 또한 압축력과 휨모멘트를 받는 기둥에서는 직접접촉을 통해 최소 25%에서 최대 50%까지의 하중전달이 가능하다. 따라서 기둥이음에서 압축력에 대한 직접접촉의 활용도의 차이가 크고 또한 압축력과 모멘트가 작용할 때의 직접 접촉에 대한 활용도도 그 차이가 최대 25%이므로, 직접 접촉된 이음부의 응력전달 거동에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 본 연구는 축력과 휨모멘트가 작 용하는 기둥에 대해서 이루어지며 실험체의 수는 총 22개이다. 국내의 메탈터치의 평활도인 관리 허용치 1.5D/1000와 한계허용치 2.5D/1000및 AISC에서 제시하는 압축력을 받는 기둥에서의 보강 없는 틈의 한계인 1.6mm에 대해, 본 실험결과와 기존의 허용치를 비교하였다. 그 결과, 상하 부재 간의 직접 접촉을 통하여, 즉 메탈터치를 이용하여 응력을 전달시키면 부재 이음에서 경제성과 효율성이 개선될 수 있다고 판단된다.

Fluorene-containing, spiro-type, conjugated polymers were synthesized via the cyclopolymerization of dipropargylfluorenes (2-substituted, X=H, Br, Ac, $ NO_{2}$) with various transition metal catalysts. The polymerization of dipropargylfluorenes proceeded well using Mo-based catalysts to give a high polymer yield. The catalytic activities of the Mo-based catalysts were found to be more effective than those of W-based catalysts. The palladium (II) chloride also increased the polymer yield of the polymerization. The polymer structure of poly(dipropargylfluorene)s was characterized by such instrumental methods as NMR ($^{1}H_{-}$, $^{13}C_{-}$), IR, UV-visible spectroscopies, and elemental analysis as having the conjugated polymer backbone bearing fluorene moieties. The $^{13}C_{-}$NMR spectral data on the quaternary carbon atoms in polymers indicated that the conjugated cyclopolymers have the six-membered rings majorly. The poly(dipropargylfluorene) derivatives were completely soluble in halogenated and aromatic hydrocarbons such as methylene chloride, chloroform, benzene, toluene, and chlorobenzene. The poly(dipropargylfluorene) derivatives were thermally more stable than poly(dipropargylfluorene) itself, and X-ray diffraction analyses revealed that the polymers are mostly amorphous. The photoluminescence peaks of the polymers were observed at about 457-491 nm, depending on the substituents of fluorene moieties.

번암광산은 소백산 육괴의 남서부에 위치하며, 소백산은 편마암 복합체를 $N20{\sim}30^{\circ}E$ 방향으로 관입하여 나타난다. 주변 화강암들은 변성화강암류의 재용융 혹은 부분용융에 의해 생성된 calc-alkaline계열의 마그마로부터 분화 생성된 산화물로 추정된다. 광상을 배태시킨 광화용액을 화강암체를 형성한 마그마로부터 유래하였다해도 시기적으로 훨씬 후기에 생성되었을 것이다. 공생광물군에 대한 연구결과 광화작용은 크게 3시기로 I기: 기저 유화광물의 생성시기, II기: 후기 유화광물, 엘렉트럼 및 함은 유영 광물의 생성시기, III기: 소량의 함은 광물, 백색석영 및 탄산염광물의 생성시기로 나눌 수 있다. 번암광산의 생성온도, 염농도 및 압력은 광물공생과 화학성분, 유체포유물, 유황동위원소 지질온도계를 이용하여 측정되었으며 다음과 같다. I기: $200{\sim}315^{\circ}C$. 3.5~6.5 NaCl eq. wt.%. 0,28~0.61 Kbar. II기: $150{\sim}235^{\circ}C$, 4.5~7.4 NaCl eq. wt.%. 0.11~0.15 Kbar로 나타난다. 초기 광화작용동안산소와 유황분압은 각각, $10^{-35.1}{\sim}10^{-39.7}$ atm., $10^{-11.0}{\sim}10^{-13.4}$atm. 으로 나타난다. 이와 같은 연구결과 번암광산은 polymetallic meso-epithermal type의 광상으로 생각된다.
