The properties of materials which are widely used in industry fields like automobile, shipbuilding, casting, and electronics are strongly needed to have higher surface hardness, lower surface roughness, and higher compressive residual stress. As mentioned above, for the purpose of satisfying three factors, a variety of researches with respect to surface improvement have been actively studied and applied to every industry. SKD61 which is mostly used for die casting process of cold chamber method must meet a countless number of problems which are thermal, mechanical and chemical from highly specific working environment at high temperature over 600℃. Above all, in case of plunger sleeves used for die casting process, thermal fatigue has a bad effect on the surface of an inlet where molten metal is repeatedly injected. On account of it, plunger sleeves cause manufacturers to deteriorate quality of products. Therefore, in this paper, to improve the surface of an inlet of plunger sleeve, multilayer PVD coating using Ti, Cr and Mo is suggested. Furthermore, The surface characteristics such as surface roughness(Rsa, Rsq), surface hardness(HRB, HRC) and residual stress using XRD(X-ray diffractometer) of coated samples and specimens are studied and discussed.

TiC thin films were deposited on Si wafer by unbalanced magnetron sputtering (UBMS) system with two targets of graphite and titanium. During the TiC sputtering, the RF power was varied from 100 W to 175 W and the physical and electrical properties of TiC films were investigated. The hardness and rms surface roughness of TiC films were improved with increasing RF power and the maximum hardness about 24 GPa and the minimum rms surface roughness about 1.2 nm were obtained. The resistivity of TiC films was decreased with increasing RF power. Consequently, the physical and electrical properties of TiC film wewe improved with increasing RF power.

The friction coefficients of advanced high strength steel sheets were experimentally determined. In the friction test, the pulling and holding forces acting on the sheet for various friction conditions, such as lubricant viscosity, pulling speed, blank holding pressure, sheet surface roughness, and hardness of the sheet were measured and the friction coefficient was calculated based on Coulomb's friction law. While the friction coefficient, generally, decreases as the value of friction factor increases, the factor associated with the sheet surface roughness shows U shape behavior for the friction coefficient. Furthermore, the relationship between friction coefficient and the wear volume, which was computed for the roughness of both sheet surfaces and the friction area, is linearly proportional.

Environmental contamination creates shortages of potable water. In such situations, the leakage of water due to breakage or aging of rubber valve seats is a serious problem. Rubber is apt to break when it is placed between two materials that contact each other. One way to avoid water leakage due to rubber damage and breakdown is to replace the rubber with metal, which is currently taking place in water distribution systems. In tribology, a severe form of wear is characterized by local macroscopic material transfer or removal, or by problems with sliding protrusions when two solid surfaces experience relative sliding under load. One of the major problems when metal slides is the occurrence of galling. Experimentally, various conditions influence incipient galling, such as hardness, surface roughness, temperature, load, velocity, and the external environment. This study sought to verify the galling tendencies of metal according to its hardness, surface roughness, load, and sliding velocity, and determine the quantitative effect of each factor on the galling tendencies.

The surface rolling method which is one of the plastic deformation processes increases the surface roughness and hardness of materials. In this study, three NACHI6000 ZZ bearing were used for surface rolling tool on the mild steel and high carbon steel. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of rolling speed, feed rate and contact pressure on the surface roughness. The following results have been obtained with the mild steel and high carbon steel. 1. The roller finishing method has increased surface roughness from 2.4 .mu.m Ra at initial ground surface to 0.17 .mu.m Ra-0.4 .mu.m Ra. 2. The contact pressure has influenced greatly on the surface roughness. There is an optimal contact pressure. 3. As the rolling speed and the feed rate decrease, the surface roughness improves. 4. The optimal contact pressure for the good surface roughness of SS40 and STC 3 has been at 213 Kgf/Cm$^{2}$ and 220 Kgf/Cm$^{2}$ respectively.

CrN film coated by AIP method, improved the mechanical properties (Hardness, Roughness, wear and fatigue) of Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The properties were studied using GXRD, XPS, Hardness, Roughness, wear and fatigue testers. CrN thin film thickness was about 7.5$\mu\textrm{m}$ and grew with (111) orientation. Hardness of CrN thin film was very high (Hv 1390) and roughness of the surface layer was greatly improved (Ra=0.063$\mu\textrm{m}$) compared with matrix alloy (Ra=0.321$\mu\textrm{m}$). Such changes of hardness and roughness could be contributed to improving the wear resistance and fatigue life. Striation like pattern with dimples and voids, a typical fatigue fracture mode, was observed throughout the specimen.

In this study, to find out the reason of deterioration in surface roughness of steel and cast iron after Tufftride, it has been investigated on the relation between the surface roughness and various factors such as the evolution of compound layer, surface morphology, and surface hardness, and change of pore ratio in the compound layer during Tufftride at $580^{\circ}C$. It is found that the surface roughness was increased with the evolution of compound layer during Tufftride of steel and cast iron. The change of surface roughness after Tufftride was reduced with decreasing tho content of carbon and cementite ($Fe_3C$) in the materials. in the cast irons, the various shaped graphites that was exposed to the surface should induce the discontinuous growth of the compound layer, and this resulted in the incoherent interfaces between matrix and compound layer and the deterioration of surface roughness. In the steels, the existence of cementites in the matrix resulted in the incoherent interfaces between matrix and compound layer. It is considered that during Tufftride the surface roughness must be mainly influenced by the formation of the incoherent interface between compound layer and matrix that is affected by some factors such as the microstructure, the composition, and the hardness of the matrix.

This paper presents the hardness and wear characteristic of bronze metals, which are manufactured by a sintering process with a high pressuring technology. A bronze metal with a high hardness and anti-wear properties is usually used for a high pressure cylinder and a pin-bush bearing. The new bronze metal in which is manufactured for this experimental study shows very high hardness of 192${\sim}$220 Hv compared with that of a conventional bronze metal of 120${\sim}$140 Hv. The high hardness of new bronze metals is strongly related to the radical reduction of wear volumes and an improved surface roughness of operated worn surfaces. As explained by previous many research works, the improved hardness of nonferrous metals may increase a load-carrying capacity and anti-wear properties of tribological components.
