This paper has presented an application of an optimum grinding conditions based on the fuzzy logic. Fuzzy logic can handle vague and uncertain knowledge, and presents a scheme for integrating data with various kinds of grinding data. Especially, this research is capable of determining the grinding conditions taking into account some fuzzy membership function represented for trapezoidal form such as hardness and surface roughness of workpiece, material tensile strength and elongation, and requirement of grinding method. Larsen's fuzzy production method utilizing the fuzzy production rule can be applied on the establishment of grinding conditions, and also the output value obtained by the center of gravity method can effectively utilize the optimum grinding conditions.

In this study, tantalum (Ta) compacts were fabricated in a spark plasma sintering (SPS) process and their microstructure and mechanical properties were investigated. Ta compacts with a density of 99% were successfully fabricated by controlling the sintering conditions of the current and the temperature. The density and hardness were increased as the sintering temperature increased. The $Ta_2C$ compound was observed at the surface of the compacts due to the contact between the Ta powder and graphite mold during the sintering process. The main fracture mode showed a mixed type with intergranular and transgranular modes having some roughness.

In this study, the spur gear with honeycomb lattice structures are designed. The pitch diameter and body length of the spur gear are Ø93 mm and 104.0 mm, respectively. The designed gear was printed using Powder bed fusion (PBF) 3D printer. The gear is 3D printed perfectly. Even the teeth and honeycombs of the gear were output in the same way as the design shape. The printed gear with honeycomb lattice structure has a 24% smaller cross-sectional area and 29% smaller volume and weight than conventional solid structure gears. The surface roughness is approximately 4.5㎛, and the hardness is 345 HV.

$SiC_{x}N$_{y}$ film is deposited by electron cyclotron resonance plasma chemical vapor deposition system using $SiH_4$(5% in Ar), $CH_4$ and $N_2$. Ternary phase $SiC_{x}N$_{y}$ thin film deposited at the microwave power of 600 W and substrate temperature of 700 contains considerable amount of strong C-N bonds. Change in $CH_4$flow rate can effectively control the residual film stress, and typical surface roughness of 34.6 (rms) was obtained. Extreme]y high hardness (3952 Hv) and optical transmittance (95% at 633 nm) was achieved, which is suitable for a LIGA mask membrane application.

The mechanical properties such as the Young's modulus, damping ratio, vibration mode and hardness of the disk materials heat-treated under various conditions are measured, and the relations between there properties and the cutting characteristics such as early tip fracture are examined. The results obtained from this study are as follows. The circular saw with the V-Cr added disk has higher young's modulus and damping ratio than the saw with STC5 disk, preventing the early fracture of tungsten carbide due to the above properties. The circular saw with the disk which is subjected to the heat treatment at the quenching temperature of $830^{\circ}C$ and at the temperature of $550^{\circ}C$ have the best tool life and surface roughness.

Recently, the laser processing method has used as micro-machining technologies in industries of aerospace, electronics and automotive. The laser processing newly focused could be alternative to existing machining method. However, there are few practical results of research about the proper setting of the laser machining conditions and the laser machining characteristics for mechanical materials. The purposes of this study was to choose optimum machining conditions and to estimate the laser machining characteristics using taguchi experimental method for various mechanical materials that is S45C, Stainless steel, Aluminum, Copper, Titanium and Tungsten carbide. From obtained results, it was confirmed that optimum machining conditions could be found and laser machinability depends on thermal conductivity and hardness of workpiece.

Wear and friction behavior of plasma-sprayed coatings in Mo- and Co-based alloy were studied for the application of piston-ring automobile engine. The plasma-sprayed coatings were varied with gun current density, gas flow, and distance. The surface roughness, microhardness, and wear volume were measured depending on the spray distances. The high temperature hardness value were also measured as a function of temperature. Ball-on-disc geometry configuration tribometer was utilized in air. The wear tests were performed in the temperature ranges from room temperature to 825$^{\circ}$C to investigate the tribological trend of the piston-ring materials in the lack of lubricant. The cross sections of wear track were investigated, using microscopy.

Glasses in K2O-Na2O-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2-F system were crystallized to prepare machinable glass-ceramics. The optimum nucleating and crystal growing temperatures were approximately $700^{\circ}C$ and 1060~112$0^{\circ}C$, respectively for the samples investigated. Crystalline phases of sellaite, norbergite, and fluorphlogopite appeared progressively as heat-treatment temperature was increased. Surface roughness of the crystallized specimens after the machining was similar to that of metal aluminum (2.18 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$). Thermal expansion coefficient, Vickers hardness and dielectric constants of the fluorphlogopite glass-ceramics prepared were 7.37~10.21 ($\times$10-6/$^{\circ}C$), 302~456kgf/$\textrm{mm}^2$ and 5.97~16 respectively.

Vanadium nitride (VN) coatings were deposited using inductively coupled plasma (ICP) assisted sputtering at different ICP powers. Microstructural, crystallographic and mechanical characterizations were performed by FE-SEM, AFM, XRD and nanoindentation. The results show that ICP has significant effects on coating's microstructure, structural and mechanical properties of VN coatings. With an increase in ICP power, coating microstructure evolved from a porous columnar structure to a highly dense one. Single- phase cubic (FCC) VN coatings with different preferential orientations and residual stresses were obtained as a function of ICP power. Average crystal grain sizes of single phase cubic (FCC) VN coatings were decreased from 10.1 nm to 4.0 nm with an increase in ICP power. The maximum hardness of 28.2 GPa was obtained for the coatings deposited at ICP power of 200 W. The smoothest surface morphology with Ra roughness of 1.7 nm was obtained in the VN coating sputtered at ICP power of 200 W.
