The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effect of surface defects and cross-sectional configuration of NiTi rotary files on the fatigue life under cyclic loading. Three NiTi rotary files ($K3^{TM},{\;}ProFile^{\circledR},{\;}and{\;}HERO{\;}642^{\circledR}$) with ＃30/.04 taper were evaluated. Each rotary file was divided into 2 subgroups : control (no surface defects) and experimental group (artificial surface defects), A total of six groups of each 10 were tested. The NiTi rotary files were rotated at 300rpm using the apparatus which simulated curved canal (40 degree of curvature) until they fracture. The number of cycles to fracture was calculated and the fractured surfaces were observed with a scanning electron microscope. The data were analyzed statistically. The results showed that experimental groups with surface defects had lower number of cycles to fracture than control group but there was only a statistical significance between control and experimental group in the $K3^{TM}$ (p<0.05), There was no strong correlation between the cross-sectional configuration area and fracture resistance under experimental conditions. Several of fractured files demonstrated characteristic patterns of brittle fracture consistent with the propagation of pre-existing cracks. This data indicate that surface defects of NiTi rotary files may significantly decrease fatigue life and it may be one possible factor for early fracture of NiTi rotary files in clinical practice.

The injection-molded plastic parts have many surface defects: warpage, weldline, flowmark, zetting, scratching, shading and so on. As weldline was one of the major surface defects in the case of desktop monitor, warpage and surface shrinkage are the bigger problems of LCD monitor in the pursuit of light weight and thinner thickness of parts. Some measures to improve these defects were introduced in this paper. Based on these, the laboratory work to find out the optimum processing conditions and to get the best parts was repeated injection moulding try-out after reflecting these improvements. The defects of warpage and surface shrinkage was significantly improved after the improvements in the case of the 20.1 inch even if in the 15 and 17inch case the warpage size was a lttle over the allowed specification because of not taking the measure for parts design within the allowable limits from the required specification in the cause of cost down.

In the current study, the effect of small surface defects in the starting material including roughness, indentations, or scratches, which are perpendicular to the direction of drawing, on the product quality is investigated using the finite element method. An axisymmetric defect is assumed. Such defects are defined by a cylindrical defect area and two tapered regions connecting the defect area to the non-defective area of the material. Various conditions for these initial surface defects are considered, including defect depth, defect slope and defect length. To describe the plastic deformation of the defect in detail during the simulation, local remeshing is applied. Based on the finite element results, defect disappearance maps were generated. It was found that defect disappearance is significantly dependent on the defect depth and the defect length coupled with the defect slope.

현재 도시철도 레일의 노후화로 인한 레일표면결함이 증가하고 있으나 국가에서 제정된 궤도성능평가에 관한 세부지침에서 레일표면손상을 기술자의 육안, 간단한 측정 도구로 점검을 수행하는 실정이다. 주기적인 선로순회작업 및 육안점검을 통해 레일표면의 결함을 발견하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 그러나 점검자의 주관적 판단에 의해 레일표면의 결함의 경중을 평가하는 것은 레일 내부의 손상을 예측하기에 상당한 제약이 따른다. 본 연구에서는 레일표면손상에 따른 레일내부 균열특성에 관한 연구로서 현장측정에서는 레일표면 손상개소를 선정하여 가속구간 및 제동구간의 노후레일 시료를 채취하여 레일표면손상 상태를 평가하고자 전자주사현미경(SEM)을 이용하여 균열특성을 분석하였다. 분석결과, 주행 중인 열차로 인해 발생하는 균열 메커니즘과 레일표면방향으로 올라오는 각도로 균열이 발생하는 가속구간의 균열특성을 실험적으로 입증하였다.

In this study attempted to prevent defects due to blow holes among defects of sand casting products. It was intended to reduce the defect rate by reducing the blow hole of the inner surface. Currently, expectations and requirements for the quality level of non-ferrous aluminum casting in the casting industry are increasing. In addition, the shape is complex and the shrinkage precision is required. Among them, the test prototype is expensive to manufacture the mold, and the production time is also long, and the product is manufactured by sand casting. At this time, the highest defect rates are defects caused by shrinkage defects, surface defects, and blow holes.. At this study, the manufacturing time was shortened by using the shape of the fluid movement path in advance. Also, it is possible to reduce defects due to blow holes.

In this stydy, submicron shallow trenches applied to STI(shallow tench isolation) were etched using inductively coupled $CI_2$/HBr and $CI_2/N_2$plasmas and the physical and electrical defects remaining on the etched silicon trench surfaces and the effects of various annealing and oxidation on the removal of the defects were studied. Using high resolution electron microscopy(HRTEM), Physical defects were investigated on the silicon trench surfaces etched in both 90%$CI_2$/ 10%$N_2$ and 50%$CI_2$/50%HBr. Among the areas in the tench such as trench bottom, bottom edge, and sidewall, the most dense defects were found near the trench bottom edge, and the least dense defects were found near the trench bottom edge, and least dense defects compared to that etched with ment as well as hydrogen permeation. Thermal oxidation of 200$\AA$ atthe temperature up to $1100^{\circ}C$apprars not to remove the defects formed on the etched silicon trenches for both of the etch conditions. To remove the physicall defects, an annealing treatment at the temperature high than $1000^{\circ}C$ in N for30minutes was required. Electrical defects measured using a capacitance-voltage technique showed the reduction of the defects with increasing annealing temperature, and the trends were similar to the results on the physical defects obtained using transmission electron microscopy.

Austenitic 316 stainless steel was irradiated with protons accelerated by an energy of 2 MeV at 360 ℃, the various defects induced by this proton irradiation were characterized with microscopic equipment. In our observations irradiation defects such as dislocations and micro-voids were clearly revealed. The typical irradiation defects observed differed according to depth, indicating the evolution of irradiation defects follows the characteristics of radiation damage profiles that depend on depth. Surface oxidation tests were conducted under the simulated primary water conditions of a pressurized water reactor (PWR) to understand the role irradiation defects play in surface oxidation behavior and also to investigate the resultant irradiation assisted stress corrosion cracking (IASCC) susceptibility that occurs after exposure to PWR primary water. We found that Cr and Fe became depleted while Ni was enriched at the grain boundary beneath the surface oxidation layer both in the non-irradiated and proton-irradiated specimens. However, the degree of Cr/Fe depletion and Ni enrichment was much higher in the proton-irradiated sample than in the non-irradiated one owing to radiation-induced segregation and the irradiation defects. The microstructural and microchemical changes induced by proton irradiation all appear to significantly increase the susceptibility of austenitic 316 stainless steel to IASCC.

Injection molded plastic parts have many surface defects. These include a weld line, sink mark, flow mark, gloss, shading, scratching etc. Because these surface faults are not aesthetically acceptable, plastic parts are produced through painting or texturing. The purpose of this paper is to develop paintless molded parts using a flow control method. Computer aided injection mold filling simulations were used in order to minimize the number of defects from injection molding. Based on the numerical results, FR(Flame Retardant) HIPS was developed and the guidelines for part design, mold design, and the processing conditions were established. The effects of cost savings, improvements in productivity, and recycling were considered by reducing the number of surface faults and eliminating the painting process.
