In this work, the effect of welding variables on weldability of gas tungsten arc(GTA) welding was investigated with experimental analysis for a commercial pure(CP) titanium (Grade.1). The GTA welding tests on sheet samples with 0.5mm in thick were carried out at different process variables such as arc length, welding speed and electrode shape. In order to search an optimum arc length with full penetration, bead- on-plate welding before butt-welding were performed with different arc length conditions. From the bead- on-plate welding results, the optimum condition considering arc stability and electrode loss was obtained in the arc length of 0.8mm. Butt-welding tests based on the arc length of 0.8mm were carried out to achieve the optimum conditions of welding speed and electrode shape. Optimum conditions of welding speed and electrode shape were suggested as 10 mm/s and truncated electrode shape, respectively. It was successfully validated by the microstructural observation, tensile tests, micro-hardness tests and formability tests.

The purpose of this study was to compare surface roughness and bone formation around two types of threaded commercially pure titanium implants manufactured by two different companies. The test implants were manufactured by Sumin synthesis dental materials Co. (Avana, Busan, Korea), while the controls were manufactured by Nobel Biocare (MK II, Goteborg, Sweden). To compare bone formation adjacent to newly product implant with $Br{\aa}nemark$ MK II implant, surface roughness was measured by Accurate 1500M and histomorphometric analysis was done. The results were as follows: 1. Measurement of surface roughness showed that Avana implant had a slightly more irregular surface compared with $Br{\aa}nemark$ implant. 2. In the light microscopic studies, no infiltration of inflammatory cells nor the giant cells were observed on both groups. 3. In the light and fluorescent microscopic studies, the amount of osseointegration and the extent and the timing of bone formation were similar. 4. There were no statistically difference between two groups in the average bone to implant con-tacts. Branemark implant; 67% (SD 23%), Avana implant; 70% (SD 16%). Comparing with $Br{\aa}nemark$ implant, Avana implant made of CP grade II titanium showed similar good bone healing, formation and osseointegration.

티탄광의 광물학적 성질, 채광상의 유효성 및 처리과정에 의해서 암석학적 관점에서 고찰하였다. 티탄광물로서 가장 중요한 것은 티탄철석(Fe $TiO_3$)과 루틸($TiO_2$)이다. 루틸의 매장량은 급격하게 감소되고 있으므로 티탄철석이 자원으로서 중요한 역할을 하게 되었다. 따라서 티탄철석으로부터 고품위의 $TiO_2$를 만드는데 성공적인 방법을 개발할 필요가 있다. R과 D처리에서와 마찬가지로 상업적으로도 다량의 티탄철석광석 처리하는 방법으로 다음의 세가지가 있다. 1. 티탄철석내의 철을 물리적이나 화학적으로 부분적으로 혹은 완전하게 환원시킨후 분리하는 법. 2. 철을 제 1 산화철 상태로 환원한후 화학적으로 티탄늄으로부터 용출시키는 법. 3. 광석을 선택적 혹은 계속적 분리방법으로 염화물을 만든 후 $TiCl_4$의 순도를 높이는법. 이러한 처리기술의 과정과 효율은 채굴하는 광상의 특성에 따라 일차적으로 영향받으며, 이차적으로는 환경의 상황에 의해서 좌우된다. 티탄철석 처리기술에 영향을 주는 광상의 요소는 1. Fe-산화광물과 공생하는 티탄철석의 현미경조직의 복잡성 2. 농축물(정광)의 조성, 즉 티탄철석은 치환성원소인 Mg, Mn, V를 소량씩 함유한다. 이 원소들에 척과 맥석광물들을 합하면 여러 가지 반응의 완성, 산의 질소모량, 페기고체물의 제거난점 및 폐기물 처리분제 등의 곤란이 야기된다. 암석학자에 의해 공헌될수있는 최적의 주요과제는 처리과정에서 유도되는 천연물질과 고체물에 대한 성분상의 변화와 물리적 변화의 감정 및 적절한 해석이다. 이러한 지식은 산화티탄생산을 위하여 처리되는 여러 단계에 있어서 그 방법을 선별하고 발전시키는데 중요한 역할을 할수있다.

Recently, quaternary titanium alloys of the system Ti-Nb-Ta-Zr received considerable research interest as potential implant materials because of their excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility. However, only few reported works were available on the corrosion behavior of such alloys. Hence, in the present work, electrochemical corrosion of Ti-35Nb-5Ta-7Zr alloy, which has been fabricated by arc melting and heat treatment, was studied in 0.9 wt% NaCl at $37\pm1^{\circ}C$, along with biomedical grade Ti-6Al-4V and CP-Ti. The phase and microstructure of the alloys were investigated employing XRD and SEM. The results of electrochemical studies indicated that the corrosion resistance of the quaternary alloy was inferior to that of Ti-6Al-4V and CP Ti.

Periotest(Siemens, Germany) has been used to test mobility of the implants clinically, however the effects of target materials and connection methods on the PTVs(Periotest Values) have not been evaluated. Periotest has been regarded as a reliable and objective tool to test implant and natural teeth mobility clinically, however this instrument showed different PTVs under various test conditions. This in vitro study was designed to compare PTVs of different veneering materials and prosthodontic designs (single and bridge restorations). To compare the effects of veneering materials on PTVs, 1 mm thickness of five different testing materials (porcelain, type III gold alloy, pure titanium, composite resin, acrylic resin) were placed on the resin block. Three full length of 13 mm Mark II implant fixtures were embedded into autopolymerizing resin block to fabricate single and bridge restorations. To evaluate effects of the connection method in single restorations, PTVs of screw retained(UCLA type) and cementation type(Cera-One system) were compared. Finally, to test reliability of PTVs of the final restorations, screw retained three unit short span PFM bridges were fabricated on the standard and Estheti-Cone abutments. All testing components were tightened with torque controller and PTVs of all specimens were measured 15 times for statistical analysis with SAS program. Following conclusions were made within the limit of this in vitro study. 1. PTVs of type III gold alloy, grade II titanium, composite resin veneering materials showed no significant differences, however acrylic resin and porcelain showed significant differences (P<0.05). 2. Single tooth restorations showed consistent PTVs as long as proper torque force was applied. 3. PTVs of bridge type prostheses was inconsistent regardless of abutment types. 4. PTVs of the prostheses showed higher scores and standard deviations than those of abutments regardless types of connection (P<0.05).

Even though titanium(Ti) and its alloys are the most used dental implant materials, there are some problems that Ti wears easily and interferes normal osteogenesis due to the metal ions. Ti coated with bioactive ceramics such as hydroxyapatite has also such problems as the exfoliation or resorption of the coated layer, Recent studies on implant materials have been proceeding to improve physical properties of the implant substrate and biocompatibility of the implant surfaces. The purpose of the present study was to examine the physical property and bone tissue compatibility of bioinert nitrides ion plated Ti, Button type specimens(14mm in diameter, 2.32rrun in height) for the abrasion test and cytotoxicity test and thread type implants(3.75mm in diameter, 6mm in length) for the animal experiments were made from Ti(grade 2) and 316LVM stainless steel. Ti specimens were ion plated with TiN, ZrN by the low temperature arc vapor deposition, and the depth profile of the TiN/Ti, ZrN/Ti ion plated surface was examined by Auger Electron Spectroscopy. Three kind of button type specimens .of TiN/Ti, ZrN/Ti and Ti were used for abrasion test, and HEPAlClC7 cells and CCD cells were cultivated for 4 days with the specimens for cytotoxicity test. Thread type implants of TiN/Ti, ZrN/Ti, Ti, 316LVM were implanted on the femur of 6 adult dogs weighing 10kg-13kg. Two dogs were sacrified for histological examination after 45 days and 90 days, and four dogs were sacrified for the removal torque test of the implant') after 90 days. The removal torque force was measured by Autograph (Shimadzu Co., AGS-1000D series, Japan). Abrasion resistance of TiN/Ti was the highest, and that of ZrN/Ti and Ti were followed. The bioinert nitride ion plated Ti had much better abrasion resistance, compared with Ti, In the cytotoxicity test, the number of both cells were increased in all specimens, and there were no significant difference in cytotoxic reaction among all groups (p>0.1), In histological examination, 316LVM showed the soft tissue engagement in interface between the implant and bone, but the other materials after 45 days noted immature new bone formation in the medullary portion along the implant surface, and those after 90 days showed implant support by new bone formation in both the cortical and the medullary portion, The removal torque force of Tilv/Ti showed significantly higher than that of Ti(p(O,05). The difference in removal torque force between TiN/Ti and ZrN/Ti was not significant(p>0.05), and that of 316LVM was lowest among all groups(p<0.05). These results suggest that bioinert nitrides ion plated Ti can resolve the existing problems of Ti and bioactive ceramics, and it may be clinically applicable to human.
