Carbon nitride thin films were deposited by reactive sputtering for the hard coating materials on Si wafer and tool steels. When the nitrogen content of carbon nitride film on tool steel is 33.4%, the mean hardness and elastic modulus are 49.34 GPa and 307.2 GPa respectively. The nitrided or carburised surface acts as the diffusion barrier which shows better adhesion of carbon nitride thin film on the steel surface. To prevent nitrogen diffusion from the film, steel substrate can be saturated by nitrogen forming a Fe$_3$N layer. The desirable structure at the surface after carburising is martensite, but sometimes, due to high carbon content an proeutectoid Fe$_3$C structure may form at the grain boundaries, leaving the overall surface brittle and may cause defects.

Oxidation behavior of 304 and 316 stainless steels was studied. After solution heat treatment, specimens were polished up to 1$mu \textrm{m}$ using $Al_2O_3$ powder and then subjected to oxidation between $300^{\circ}C$ and 50$0^{\circ}C$ in dry air. TEM and EDS were used for analyzing the components and structure of oxide film. TEM analysis of oxide film revealed that thin amorphous Fe oxide ($Fe_2O_3$) was formed on the top of surface while polycrystalline (Cr, $Fe_2O_3$ was formed below the amorphous Fe oxide layer. The specimens oxidized at $500^{\circ}C$ showed that 316 stainless steel had higher oxidation resistance than 304 stainless steel. These results suggest that Mo component of 316 stainless steel suppresses the formation of Cr carbide which may result in a local Cr depleted area.

Boronizing treatment of Microalloyed steel has been investigated by mean of Boronizing paste mainly consisted of $B_4C$ at various temperatures and times. The micro hardness of the boride layers were about HV 1200~1500. The thickness of the boride layer were increased with an increase of square root of treatment time at constant temperature. The activation energy for diffusion of boron in the specimen obtained from the slope of Arrhenius plots was 254 kJ/mol, but 197 kJ/mol for the induction heated specimen. The boride layer had a good corrosion resistance in solutions of 20% HCl and 20% $H_2SO_4$, solution. In 20% $HNO_3$ solution, however, its corrosion resistance increased. The boride layer had a good high temperature oxidation resistance at below $800^{\circ}C$, but at temperature above $900^{\circ}C$, the oxidation resistance decreased as the oxidation temperature.

Electropolishing is the anodic dissolution process in the transpassive state. It removes non-metallic inclusions and improves mechanical and corrosion resistance of stainless steel. If there is a Bailby layer, it will be recovered again. Electropolishing is normally used to remove a very thin layer of material on the surface of a metal component. The aim of this study is to determine the tendencies of electropolishing STS316L tubes in terms of current density, machining time, temperature, electrode gap and surface roughness.

This paper has comparatively analyzed the characteristics of the machined surface of a specimen made by machining Die Steel STD11 and a specimen obtained by W-EDM steel. If a press die is manufactured through W-EDM, products of shapes that cannot easily be made through machining can be manufactured easily. However, the life of the press die is significantly reduced compared with the press die made through machining. This is believed to be caused by the deformed layer that has occurred on the surface of the press die that was made through W-EDM. The roughness of the 2 specimens was measured, and it was learned that the distribution of the roughness of the specimen made through the 1st W-EDM was rough.

The characteristic of interface layer and the effect of bias voltage on the microstructure of c-BN films were studied in the microwave plasma hot filament C.V.D process. c-BN films were deposited on a high speed steel(SKH-51) substrate by hot filament CVD technique assisted with a microwave plasma to develop a high performance of resistance coating tool. c-BN films were obtained at a gas pressure of 20 Torr, vias voltage of 300 V and substrate temperature of $800^{\circ}C$ in $B_2H_6-NH_3-H_2$ gas system. It was found that a thin layer of hexagonal boron nitride(h-BN) phase exists at the interface between c-BN layer and substrate.

Coatings of Ni-17 at.%W were electroplated on a steel substrate, and their corrosion behavior was investigated between 600 and $800^{\circ}C$ in an Ar-0.2%$SO_2$ atmosphere. They delayed the corrosion of the steel substrate. They were corroded into an outer NiO-rich layer, and an inner ($WO_3+NiO+NiWO_4$)-mixed oxide layer. Below these oxide layers, a sulfide layer gradually formed.

The corrosion environments in a steel structure are significantly different depending on the individual parts of the members. To ensure the safety of weathering steel structures, it is important to evaluate the time-dependent corrosion behavior. Thus, the progress and effect of corrosion damage on weathering steel members should be evaluated; however, the predicted corrosion depth, which is affected by the corrosion environment, has not been sufficiently considered until now. In this study, the time-dependent thicknesses of the corrosion product layer were examined to quantifiably investigate and determine the corrosion depth of the corroded surface according to the exposure periods and corrosion environments. Thus, their atmospheric exposure tests were carried out for 4 years under different corrosion environments. The relationship between the thickness of the corrosion product layers and mean corrosion depth was examined based on the corrosion environment. Thus, the micro corrosion environments on the skyward and groundward surfaces of the specimens were monitored using atmospheric corrosion monitor sensors. In addition, the evaluated mean corrosion depth was calculated based on the thickness of the corrosion product layer in an atmospheric corrosion environment, and was verified through a comparison with the measured mean corrosion depth.

Laser induced surface hardening of Tool steel(STC5) can be achieved either with or without surface melting. In trans-formation hardening as the surface is heated to a temperature below its melting point and is rapidly cooled solidified microstructures are usually much finer and stronger than those of the base matals. For this reason surface modification of tool steel by YAG laser irradiation has been studied as a function of processing parameters such as power density pulse width defocusing distance and molten depth. The high energy density changes and refines the microstructure of the near surface layer. In the case of beam passes martensite formed in the melt zone exhibited very high vickers hardness values. Molten depth and width depend on defocusing distance and energy of black color painting is more absorptive than other color painting.

Good appearance of insulation coating is required for non-oriented silicon steel sheets, The property is influenced by both the chemical composition of coating solution and the species of resin. The composition of inorganic-organic coating was studied to obtain good surface quality for non-oriented silicon steel. The greenish degree of coating surface depended on $Cr^{3+}$ content in the coating layer, which was satisfied when chromate content was more than 54.60 wt. %, in the coating solution. The homogeneous pattern and roughness of the coating surface depended on spreading property of the resin. Surface appearance of the coating could be improved by using resin with good spreading property at the chemical composition of chromate 59.00 wt.%.. resin 34.23wt.%, and etyhylene glycol 6.67 wt.% without colloidal sillica.
