Atomic force microscope(AFM) techniques are increasingly used for tribological studies of engineering surfaces at scales ranging from atomic and molecular to microscale. AFM with suitable tips is being used for nanofabrication nanomachining purposes. In this paper, machining characteristics of silicon have been investigated by nano indentation and nano scratch. Mechanisms of material removal on the microscale are studied and the Taguchi method is introduced to acquire optimum parameters for nanomachining. This work shows effectiveness of the Taguchi method in nanomachining. Also, Acoustic Emission(AE) is introduced for the monitoring of nanomachining.

An irradiation hardening of Inconel 718 produced by selective laser melting (SLM) was studied based on the microstructural observation and mechanical behavior. Ion irradiation for emulating neutron irradiation has been proposed owing to advantages such as low radiation emission and short experimental periods. To prevent softening caused by the dissolution of γ' and γ" precipitates due to irradiation, only solution annealing (SA) was performed. SLM SA Inconel 718 specimen was ion irradiated to demonstrate the difference in microstructure and mechanical properties between the irradiated and non-irradiated specimens. After exposing specimens to Fe³⁺ ions irradiation up to 100 dpa (displacement per atom) at an ambient temperature, the hardness of irradiated specimens was measured by nano-indentation as a function of depth. The depth distribution profile of Fe³⁺ and dpa were calculated by the Monte Carlo SRIM (Stopping and Range of Ions in Matter)-2013 code under the assumption of the displacement threshold energy of 40 eV. A transmission electron microscope was utilized to observe the formation of irradiation defects such as dislocation loops. This study reveals that the Frank partial dislocation loops induce irradiation hardening of SLM SA Inconel 718 specimens.

본 연구는 플라즈마 건식 식각 후 박막의 물성 특성 변화 측정에 Nano-Indentation 분석 기법을 도입하였으며, 식각 후 박막 표면 강도를 nano 영역에서 측정하여 박막 표면의 damage 분석에 적용하여 물리적인 해석을 시도하였다. 하지만 기판의 대면적화로 인하여 반도체 공정에 사용되는 기판은 300 mm로 증가하였고 이로 인하여 플라즈마 건식 식각에서 대면적에 대한 균일도 향상 연구를 진행 중에 있다. 이 연구에서는 플라즈마 건식 식각 후 박막의 균일도를 Nano-indenter 측정 결과를 기반으로 Weibull 분포 해석을 통하여 정량적인 균일도를 측정하고자 하였다. 플라즈마 건식 식각을 위하여 플라즈마 소스는 Adaptively Coupled Plasma (ACP)를 사용하였고 식각 후 TEOS $SiO_2$ 박막 표면을 분석하기 위하여, 시료 평면의 x, y 축에 대하여 각각 $20{\mu}m$로 indent 각 지점을 이격하여 동일한 측정 조건에서 Nano-indenter를 이용하여 박막 표면의 강도를 측정하였다. 측정된 결과는 Weibull 분포를 활용하여 정량화하였다. 결과에 의하면 플라즈마 소스의 bias 파워가 300 W 일 때 균일도가 가장 높은 29.84로 측정되었고, 150 W 일 때 가장 낮은 8.38로 측정되었다. 식각 전 TEOS $SiO_2$ 박막의 Weibull 분포에 의한 균일도가 17.93으로 측정됨을 기반으로 ACP 플라즈마 소스의 식각 조건에 따라 TEOS $SiO_2$ 박막의 균일도가 상대적으로 변함을 정량적으로 분석할 수 있었다.

Nanoindentation is simply an indentation test in which the length scale of the penetration is measured in nanometres rather than microns or millimetres, the latter being common in conventional hardness tests. Three-dimensional molecular dynamics simulations have been conducted to evaluate the nanoindentation test. Molecular dynamics simulations were carried out on single crystal copper by varying crystal orientations to investigate nano-behavior of material beneath an indenter in nanoindentation. Morse potential function was used as an interatomic force between indenter and thin film. The result of the simulation shows that crystal orientation significantly influenced the slip system, dislocation nucleation and dislocation behavior.

Nano-wear and friction of carbon overcoated laser-textured and mechanically-textured computer hard disk were characterised after contact start/stop (CSS) wear test. Various analytical and mechanical testing techniques were employed to study the changes in topography, roughness, chemical elements, mechanical properties and friction characteristics of the coating arising from the contact start/stop wear test These techniques include: the atomic force microscopy (AFM), the continuous nano-indentation test, the nano-scratch test, the time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy (TOF-SIMS) and the auger electron spectroscopy (AES). It was shown that the surface roughness of the laser-textured (LT) bump and mechanically textured (MT) Bone was reduced approximately am and 7nm, respectively, after the CSS wear test. The elastic modulus and hardness values increased after the CSS test, indicating straining hardening of the top coating layer, A critical load was also identified fer adhesion failure between the magnetic layer and the Ni-P layer, The TOF-SIMS analysis also revealed some reduction in the intensity of C and $C_2$$F_59$, confirming the wear of lubricant elements on the coating surface.

Bulk nanostructured copper was fabricated by a shock compaction method using the planar shock wave generated by a single gas gun system. Nano sized powders, average diameter of 100 nm, were compacted into the capsule and target die, which were designed to eliminate the effect of undesired shock wave, and then impacted with an aluminum alloy target at 400 m/s. Microstructure and mechanical properties of the shock compact specimen were analyzed using an optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and micro indentation. Hardness results showed low values (approximately 45~80 Hv) similar or slightly higher than those of conventional coarse grained commercial purity copper. This result indicates the poor quality of bonding between particles. Images from OM and SEM also confirmed that no strong bonding was achieved between them due to the insufficient energy and surface oxygen layer of the powders.

Electron beam melting (EBM) is one of powder based additive manufacturing technology used to produce parts for high geometrical complexity and directly with three-dimensional computer aided design (CAD) model. It is kind of the most promising methods with additive manufacturing for a wide range of medical applications, such as orthopedic, dental implant, and etc. This research has been investigated the microstructure and mechanical properties of as fabricated and hot iso-static pressing (HIP) processed specimens, which are made by an Arcam A1 EBM system. The Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy powder was used as a material for the 3 dimensional printing specimens. Mechanical properties were conducted with EBM manufacturing and computer numerical control (CNC) machining specimens, respectively. Surface morphological analysis was conducted by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for their surface, dissected plan, and fractured surface after tensile test. The mechanical properties were included tensile stress-strain and nano-indentation test as a analysis level between nano and macro. As following highlighted results, the stress-strain curves on elastic region were almost similar between as fabricated and HIP processed while the ductile (plastic deformed region) properties were higher with HIP than that of as fabricated processed.

A surface hardenable low alloy carbon steel was implanted with medium energy (20 - 50KeV) $N_2^+$ ions to produced a modified hardened surface. The implantation conditions were varied and are given in several doses. The surface hardness of treated and untreated steels were measured using depth sensing ultra micro indentation system (UMIS). It is shown that the hardness of nitrogen ion implanted steels varied from 20 to 50GPa depending on the implantation conditions and the doses of implantation. The structure of the modified surfaces was examined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). It was found that the high hardness on the implanted surfaces was as a result of formation of non-equilibrium nitrides. High-resolution XPS studies indicated that the nitride formers were essentially C and Si from the alloy steel. The result suggests that the ion implantation provided the conditions for a preferential formation of C and Si nitrides. The combination of evidences from nano-indentation and XPS, provided a strong evidence for the existence of $sp^3$ type of bonding in a suspected $(C,Si)_xN_y$ stoichiometry. The formation of ultra hard surface from relatively cheap low alloy steel has significant implication for wear resistance implanted low alloy steels.

In this study, the deformation behavior of semi-solid Al-Si alloy was investigated by nanoindenter as a part of the research on the surface crack behavior in thixoformed automobile component. The microstructure of semi-solid Al-Si alloy consists of primary and eutectic regions. In eutectic regions the crack initiation begins with initial fracture of the eutectic silicon particles and inside other intermetallic phases. Nano-deformation characteristics in the eutectic and primary phase of semi-solid aluminium alloy were investigated through the nano-indentation experiments and the AFM observation. In addition, mechanical properties of each region were investigated and compared with each other.
