The SCM420 used mainly to automobile transmission gear has problems that it costs transmission gear maker much money in carburizing treatment. For this, it needs to alternate the existing material and heat treatment to new gear material and surface modification. For this, friction and wear experiment according to sliding speed and applied load was carried out to evaluate the wear resistance of two transmission gear materials with oxidation nitrocarburising and non-oxidation nitrocarburising NT100, The presumed wear volume was calculated with the image processing for evaluation of wear resistance of two transmission gear materials. The results show that the oxidation nitrocarburising has a distinguished wear resistance than non-oxidation nitrocarburising.

The properties of carburization on Fe-Cr alloys at 900-96$0^{\circ}C$were investiged. The study on carbide layer which had developed during solid-carburizing was made by use of S.E.M, E.PM.A, and X-ray analyzer. The results obtained were summarized as follows, the composition of carbide and the value of activation energy for the growth of carbide layer on each Fe-Cr alloy were 1) Fe-1Cr : M3C and 52Kcal/mole 2) Fe-3Cr and Fe-5Cr : M7C3and 85-88Kcal/mole 3) Fe-7Cr and Fe-9Cr : (M7C3+M23C6)and 55-66Kcal/mole.

Most of heteroepitaxial $\beta$-SiC thin films have been successfully grown on Si(100) adapting a carburizing process, by which a few atomic layers of substrate surface is chemically converted to very thin SiC layer using hydrocarbon gas sources. Using an organo-silicon precursor, bis-trimethylsilymethane (BTMSM, [$C_7H_{20}Si_2$]), heteropitaxial $\beta$-SiC thin films were successfully grown directy on Si substrate without a carburized buffer layer. The defect density of the $\beta$-SiC thin films deposited without a carburized layer was as low as that of $\beta$-SiC films deposited on carburized buffer layer. In addition, void density was also reduced by the formation of self-buffer layer using BTMSM instead of carburized buffer layer. It seems to be mainly due to the characteristic bonding structure of BTMSM, in which Si-C was bonded alternately and tetrahedrally (SiC$_4$).

Overlays is a treatment of the surface and near-surface regions of a material to allow the surface to perform functions that are distinct from those frictions demanded far the bulk of the material. Welding, thermal spray, quenching, carburizing and nitration have been used as the surface treatment. Especially, weld overlay is a relatively thick layer of filler metal applied to a carbon or low-alloy steel base metal for the purpose of providing a wear resistant surface. In this study, weld overlay was performed by MAG welding on the base metal(SS400) with filler metal which contain composite powders($Cr_3C_2+Mn+Mo+NbC$) and solid wire(JIS-YGW11). Characteristics of hardness and wear resistance on overlays were analyzed by EDS, EPMA, XRD and microstructures. Carbide formations were $M(Cr, Fe)_7C_3$ and NbC phases. And carbide volume fraction, hardness and specific wear resistance of overlays were increased with increasing powder feed rate and decreasing wire fred rate. Hardness and wear resistance were almost proportioned to carbide volume fraction of overlay.

P/M enables the economical production of components for many kinds of gears. Functionally, the sub gear requires high tooth accuracy and bending fatigue strength. The whole tooth profile was sized after sintering to satisfy the gear tooth accuracy specification. The part was redesigned to reduce machining requirements. The required bending fatigue strength was achieved through appropriate material choice and induction of compressive residual stress by shotpeening after carburizing. The P/M sub gear replaced a forged steel gear, satisfied performance requirements, expanded the use of P/M applications and provided over 30% cost reduction.

For pure Molybdenum carburized in mixed gases of argon and carbon monoxide, microstructural observations were carried out. X-ray diffraction analysis for carburized specimens revealed that brittle ${\alpha}-Mo_2C$- layer hardly formed in the case of low carbon monoxide concentration. Fracture strength of the specimen carburized at 1673 K for 16 h is about 550 MPa higher than that of the un-carburized specimen. SEM observation revealed that with increasing carburizing temperature, the region demonstrating a transgranular fracture mode progressed towards the center of specimen. This result means that the grain boundaries were strengthened by the grain boundary diffusion of carbon and the strength of grain boundaries exceeded that of grain itself.

In the automobile industry, the various efforts to lower their industrial cost and enhance fuel efficiency have been made through process improvement or weight saving of automobile parts. Gear is one of significant parts of transmission, which is made by cast iron or alloy steel. It is expensive due to complex processing, inferior materials and large machining allowance. In this study, alternative gear cars oil which is based on fluid applications materials is produced by reducing surface induction hardening and carburizing hardened in production. And then, wear characteristic and mechanical properties such as hardness of the sintered alloy which is used as a substitute for small machining allowance is investigated.

Recently, automotive engines have changed to the silent chain system in order to reduce noise and to improve reliability. High contact fatigue strength is needed for the sprockets of silent chain system. As a result, a high-contact-fatigue-strength P/M material was developed using the technology of surface rolling, which densifies the surface layer of sintered parts. It was established that the contact fatigue strength of the developed material was a great improvement over that of the conventionally used sintered material.

A developed molybdenum hybrid-alloyed steel powder is based on a molybdenum prealloyed steel powder to which molybdenum powder particles are diffusion bonded. The sintered compact made of this powder has a finer pore structure than that of the conventional molybdenum prealloyed steel powder, because the ferritic iron phase $({\alpha}-phase)$ with a high diffusion coefficient is formed in the sintering necks where molybdenum is concentrated resulting in enhanced sintering. The rolling contact fatigue strength of the sintered and carburized compacts made of this powder improved by a factor of 3.6 compared with that of the conventional powder due to the fine pore structures.

AISI316L강의 내식성과 표면경도를 동시에 향상시키기 위한방법으로 저온 플라즈마 침탄과 저온 플라즈마 질화를 동일한 로 내에서 연속적으로 실시하였다. 여러 가지 공정인자 중 저온 플라즈마 질화 시 $N_2$가스가 표면에 미치는 영향을 조사 하였다. 모든 시편의 표면에 N에 의해 확장된 오스테나이트 (${\gamma}_N$)가 형성되었으며, 형성된 ${\gamma}_N$로 인하여 표면경도가 약 $3{\sim}4$배 증가하였다. $N_2$가스가 증가할수록 ${\gamma}_N$층의 두께가 증가 하였다.
