The wear behaviors of $Al_2O_3-40%TiO_2$ deposited on casting aluminum alloy(ASTM A356) by plasma spray against SiC ball have been investigated experimentally. Friction and wear tests are carried out at room temperature. The friction coefficient of $Al_2O_3-40%TiO_2$ coating is lower than that of pure $Al_2O_3$ coating(APS). It is found that low friction correspond to low wear and high friction to high wear in the experimental result. The thickness of $Al_2O_3-40%TiO_2$ coatings indicated the existence of the optimal coating thickness. It is found that a voids and porosities of coating surface result in the crack generated. As the tensile stresses in coating increased with the increased friction coefficient. The columnar grain of coating will be fractured to achieve the critical stress. It is found that the cohesive of splats and the porosity of surface play a role in wear characteristics. It is suggested that the mismatch of thermal expansion of substrate and coating play an important role in wear performance. Tensile and compressire under thermo-mechanical stress may be occurred by the mismatch between thermal expansion of substrate and coating. This crack propagation above interface is observed in SEM.

슬립캐스팅법으로 제조한 튜브형 $\alpha$-알루미나 담체 (평균기공크기 = $0.1 \mum$)에 졸-겔 침지코팅(dipcoating) 또는 가압코팅 (pressurized coating) 법에 의하여 극미세입자 $\gamma$-AlOOH, $TiO_2, SiO_2$, 및 aluminosilicate diphasic 졸을 코팅한 후 300 ~ 500$\circ$C 에서 열처리하여 세라믹 복합막을 제조하였다. 복합막 전체에 대한 균열유무는 $N_2$ 기체투과율의 평균압력에 대한 의존성으로부터 평가하였으며, 한외여과 (ultrafiltration)에의 응용성을 규명하기 위하여 막의 재질 및 제조조건에 따른 polyethylene glycol (PEG) 수용액의 분획분자량 변화를 측정하였다. 합성 세라믹 복합막의 분획분자량 측정 결과 $SiO_2$의 경우 2,000 정도로 매우 우수하였으며 $\gamma-Al_2O_3, TiO_2$, 그리고 aluminosilcate 막들은 6,000 ~ 10,000 범위 값을 갖고 있었다. 또한 막의 기공크기 및 분획분자량을 제어하기 위한 방법으로서 $TiO_2$ 복합막을 300 ~ 700$\circ$C 에서 열처리하였으며 이들에 대한 분획분자량 변화를 비교 분석하였다.

An optical switch composed of three-identical, equally-spaced $Ti:LinbO_3$ waveguides and overlaid Al electrodes of CPW structure was designed and fabricated. Patterned Ti was diffused into z-cut $LinbO_3$ substrates at $1025^{\circ}C$ for 6 hours to make a three-waveguide directional coupler. $SiO_2$ buffer layer of $1.2{\mu}m$ was grown by the PECVD to reduce the propagation loss of TM mode, and Al electrodes were built on the layer for switching the guided beam. For an incident beam of ${\lambda}=1.3{\mu}m$, almost perfect optical coupling between two outer waveguides was observed. When an electric field was applied to detune the three waveguides anti-symmetrically, the optical switching phenomenon was successfully confirmed.

The machinability of materials is an important factor in engineering applications. Many ceramic components that have complex shapes require machining, typically using diamond tools, which leads to high production cost. Machinable ceramics containing h-BN have recently been developed, but these materials are very expensive because of high cost of raw materials and machining. Therefore the development of low-cost machinable ceramics is desirable. In this study, mullite-$ZrO_2$ ceramics were prepared additions of $Al_2TiO_5$. $ZrSiO_4$, $Al_2O_3$, and $Al_2TiO_5$ powders mixed at various molar ratios with sintering at 1400, 1500, and $1600^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr. Phase formation and microstructure of the sintered ceramics were observed by XRD and SEM, respectively. The machinability of each specimen was tested using the micro-hole machining method. The machinability results show that the ceramics sintered at temperatures over $1500^{\circ}C$ can be used as good low-cost machinable mullite-$ZrO_2-Al_2TiO_5$ ceramics.

p-type Si(100)기판위에 Al2O3 박막을 증착하고 Si/SiO2 박막을 연속 증착하여 태양전지를 제작하였다. Si/SiO2 박막을 연속으로 증착하면 양자 구속이 일어나고 이로 인한 유효밴드 갭이 증가하게 되고, tunnel effect와 계면에서의 passivation 효과를 기대할 수 있다. 이런 효과들을 이용하여 고효율 태양전지를 기대 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 Remote Plasma Atomic Layer Deposition(RPALD)를 이용하여 Al2O3를 증착하였고 RF-Magnetron Sputter와 e-beam Evaporator 장비를 이용하여 Si/SiO2을 증착하였다. 전극으로는 Ti/Ag와 Al을 이용하였다. Solar simulator 장비를 이용하여 cell의 전기적 특성 평가를 평가하였고(Fig. 1) QE 측정장비를 통해 파장대의 따른 광학적 측정을 하였다(Fig. 2). ellipsometer 장비와 ${\alpha}$-step 장비로 박막과 전극의 두께를 측정하였고 4-point prove 장비를 이용하여 면저항, 저항율을 측정 평가하였다. 또한 I-V, C-V 측정 결과 터널링 현상이 일어나는 것을 확인 하였으며, Si/SiO2 다중 박막을 연속 증착 할수록 cell 효율이 더 좋게 나온다는 것을 확인하였다.

Statement of problem: Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy is used instead of Ti-6Al-4V alloy that was known to have toxicity. Purpose: This study was performed to investigate the effect of electrolyte concentration on the surface characteristics of anodized and hydrothermally-treated Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy Materials and methods: Discs of Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy of 20 mm in diameter and 2 mm in thickness were polished sequentially from #300 to 1,000 SiC paper ultrasonically washed with acetone and distilled water for 5 min, and dried in an oven at $50^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours. Anodizing was performed at current density $30mA/cm^2$ up to 300 V in electrolyte solutions containing $\beta-glycerophosphate$ disodium salt hydrate $(\beta-GP)$ and calcium acetate (CA). Hydrothermal treatment was conducted by high pressure steam at $300^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours using a autoclave. All samples were soaked in the Hanks' solution with pH 7.4 at $36.5^{\circ}C$ for 30 days. Results and conclusion: The results obtained were summarized as follows: 1. After hydrothermal treatment, the precipitated HA crystals showed the dense fine needle shape. However, with increasing the concentration of electrolyte they showed the shape of thick and short rod. 2. When the dense fine needle shape crystals was appeared after hydrothermal treatment, the precipitation of HA crystals in Hanks' solution was highly accelerated. 3. The crystal structures of $TiO_2$ in anodic oxide film were composed of strong anatase peak and weak rutile peak as analyzed with thin-film X-ray diffractometery. 4. The Ca/P ratio of the precipitated HA layer was equivalent to that of HA crystal in Hanks' solution.

Effects of sintering additives and sintering temperatures on the sintering behavior and mechanical properties of SiC whisker reinforced alumina composites have been investigated in this study. Dense (>95% TD) composites were obtained by using 2 wt% $Y_2O_3$ as liquid phase sintering additive. But only porous composite could be obtained when the sintering additives were MgO and $TiO_2$, which were known as the sintering additives for solid state sintering of alumina. Bending strength and fracture toughness were enhanced by reinforcement of SiC whisker. It is belived from the microstructure investigation that the enhanced by strength and toughness could be attribute to the reinforcing and grain growth inhibition effects of SiC whisker. After HIP treatment, fully dense composites were obtained and further enhanced mechanical properties achieved.

구조용 고온재료로서 표 2에 나타내듯이 지금까지 니켈과 티타늄 알루미나이드($Ni_3Al$, NiAl, $Ti_3Al$, TiAl에 관하여 집중적인 연구가 진행되어 왔으며 다른 금속간 화합물에 대해서도 광범위한 연구가 진행중이다. 그 예로서 $Co_3Ti$는 800.deg. C에서 최대강도를 보이며 저온에서는 온도가 감소하면서 강도가 다시 증가하면 연성이라는 장점을 지닌 관계로 $MoSi_2$는 높은 융점과 우수한 산화저항력 때문에 $Nb_2Al$은 높은 융점과 경량성 때 문에 복합재료의 matrix로서 최근 주목을 받고 있다. 끝으로 비록 금속간화합물이 취성이라는 단점 때문에 실용화에 많은 문제점이 있으며 본 재료에 관한 연구가 준비 제조공정과정에서 수 소취성화, 고용점온도 취성 등으로 인하여 사용해온 기존의 재료를 보다 좀더 극한 상황에서 가볍고 저렴하게 사용할 수 있는 우주항공 및 지상대체재료로서 개발할 수 있음을 고려할 때 본 재료에 대한 본격적인 연구가 국재 경쟁력강화를 위해 신소재 개발에 부심하는 우리나라에서도 이루어질 필요가 있다.

Sintering characteristics and dielectric properties of low temperature sinterable Glass/Ceramic dielectric materials were investigated. The dielectric materials which were developed for microwave frequency applications consist of SiO2-TiO2-Bi2O3-RO system(RO:BaO-CaO-SrO) crystallizable glass and Al2O3 as a ceramic filler. Sintering experiments showed that no more densification occurred above 80$0^{\circ}C$ and bulk density and shrinkage depended on Al2O3 content only. Results of dielectric measurements showed that $\varepsilon$r Q$\times$f and $\tau$f of the material containing 30wt% Al2O3 were 17.3, 600 and +23 ppm respectively. Those values for 45 and 60wt% Al2O3 samples were 11.6, 1400, +0.7 ppm and 7.2, 2000, -8.5 ppm, repectively. The results clearly showed that the Glas/Ceramic materials of present experiment decreased in $\varepsilon$r and increased in $\times$f value and changed from positive to negative value in $\tau$f value with the increasement of Al2O3 content.
