High velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) spray coating of WC-metal powder (powder) was carried out to improve the resistances of friction, wear and corrosion of magnetic bearing shaft material Inconel718 (In718) of turbo blower. A micron sized WC-metal powder (86.5% WC, 9.5% Co 4% Cr) was coated onto In718 surface using HVOF thermal spraying. During the spraying, the binder metals and alloy such as Co, Cr and Co-Cr alloy were molten and a small portion of WC particles were partially decomposed to $W_2C$ and free carbon at above its decomposition temperature of $1250^{\circ}C$. The free carbon and excessively sprayed oxygen formed carbon oxide gases, resulting a porous coating of porosity of $2.2{\pm}0.3%$. The surface hardness of substrate increased approximately three times from 400 Hv of In718 to $1260{\pm}30Hv$ of the coating The friction coefficients of the coating were approximately $0.33{\pm}0.03$ at $25^{\circ}C$ and $0.26{\pm}0.03$ at $450^{\circ}C$. These values were smaller than those of In718 substrate at both temperatures due to the lubrication from the free carbon and the cobalt oxide debris. The corrosion resistance of the coating was higher than that of In718 both in salt water of 3.5% NaCl and acid of 1 M HCl solutions, on the contrary, it was lower in base solution of 1 M NaOH. According to this study, the HVOF WC-metal powder coating is recommended for the durability improvement of magnetic bearing shaft of turbo blower.

The demand for metal 3D printing technology is increasing in various industries. The materials commonly used for metal 3D printing include aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, and stainless steel. In particular, for applications in the aviation and defense industry, aluminum alloy 3D printing parts are being produced. To improve the corrosion resistance in the 3D printed aluminum alloy outputs, a post-treatment process, such as chromate coating, should be applied. However, powdered materials, such as AlSi7Mg and AlSi10Mg, used for 3D printing, have a high silicon content; therefore, a suitable pretreatment is required for chromate coating. In the desmut step of the pretreatment process, the chromate coating can be formed only when a smut composed of silicon compounds or oxides is effectively removed. In this study, suitable desmut solutions for 3D printed AlSi7Mg and AlSi10Mg materials with high silicon contents were presented, and the chromate coating properties were studied accordingly. The smut removal effect was confirmed using an aqueous desmut solution composed of sulfuric, nitric, and hydrofluoric acids. Thus, a chromate coating was successfully formed. The surfaces of the aluminum alloys after desmut and chromate coating were analyzed using SEM and EDS.

Many fundamental studies have been carried out regarding waste water and hazardous gas treatments technologies using the photolysis effect of $TiO_2$. However, a permanent use of $TiO_2$ particles immobilized using organic or organic-inorganic binders is impossible. In this study, Ni-$TiO_2$ composite coating was produced by electroless plating to trap $TiO_2$ particles in the Ni coating layer. The electroless plating was performed in the bath solutions with three different concentrations of $TiO_2$ particles : 10 g/l, 20 g/l, and 40 g/l. The surface and photolytic characteristics of the coating layer was investigated by the use of SEM, a scratch tester, and an UV-Visible spectrophotometer. The results showed that the amounts of immobilized $TiO_2$ particles and the photolytic rate of the coating increased with the initial content of $TiO_2$ particles in the electroless bath. In addition, the photolytic rate of the Ni-$TiO_2$ composite coating was remarkably promoted by etching process in 10% HCl solution.

For enhanced cavitation erosion resistance of vessel propellers, an electroless Ni-P plating method was introduced to form a coating layer with high hardness on the surface of Cu alloy (CAC703C) used as vessel propeller material. An electroless Ni-P plating reaction generated by Fe atoms in the Cu alloy occurred, forming a uniform amorphous layer with P content of ~10 wt%. The amorphous layer transformed to (Ni3P+Ni) two phase structure after heat treatment. Cavitation erosion tests following the ASTM G-32 standard were carried out to relate the microstructural changes by heat treatment and the cavitation erosion resistance in distilled water and 3.5 wt% NaCl solutions. It was possible to obtain excellent cavitation erosion resistance through careful microstructural control of the coating layer, demonstrating that this electroless Ni-P plating process is a viable coating process for the enhancement of the cavitation erosion resistance of vessel propellers.

Anti-corrosive coatings for steel structures with an alternative anti-corrosive pigment, polyaniline was prepared and anti-corrosive characteristics of the prepared coatings were investigated. The structure of the polyaniline was identified by using FT-IR, UV/Vis. and TGA analysis, and the anti-corrosive properties were analyzed from the results of the salt spray experiment. We found that the anti-corrosion properties of the prepared coatings varied in accordance with the types of primer coating resins as well as with the existence and nonexistence of the top coating. In this condition, the properties of adhesion, chemical resistance, and water resistance were found to be very satisfactory when using the single-packaged urethane resin as the primer coating resin and the urethane resin as the top coating resin.

Cow leather coated with polyurethane film that contains various organic photosensitizers was investigated to demonstrate the antimicrobial properties in the application of the material to protective clothing and home appliances. To prepare the antimicrobial coating on leather surfaces with high potency against microbes, photoactive agents, such as benzophenone (BP), 4,4'-bis(dimethylamino) benzophenone (MK), 4,4'-dihydroxybenzophenone (DHBP) and methylene blue (MB), were incorporated into polyurethane-based coating solutions. The photoactive antimicrobial agent treated leather samples were characterized by SEM, color appearance, color fastness against abrasion, and antimicrobial tests. The optical properties of organic photosensitizers indicated that active UV absorbance ranges were different: BP (around 250 nm), MK (around 360 nm), DHBP (around 305 nm) and MB (around 295 nm &570 nm-685 nm). The intensity of the UV absorbance curve at the UVA light wavelength for the antimicrobial test showed the highest value with MK; subsequently, this was followed by MB, DHBP and BP in decreasing order. The treated-leather samples demonstrated excellent antibacterial activity under UVA light. The antimicrobial effects for the Staphylococcus aureus were superior to Escherichia coli. Moreover, the polyurethane finishing showed an effective durability to abrasion. The overall results indicated that DHBP is the most suitable PU coating additive to provide antimicrobial properties to leather as well as color and surface appearance than MK, MB, and BP.

방식도막의 수명에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 물의 흡수과정을 quartz crystal microbalance법 및 임피던스 원리를 이용하여 연구하였다. 도막에 있어서 물의 흡수량과 전해질 농도 변화에 따른 도막의 capacitance를 조사하였다 방식도막에 대한 물의 흡수는 삼투압 작용에 의해서 이루어지고, 흡수 초기단계에서는 도막두께가 얇을수록 흡수량이 많은 것을 알 수 있었다 그리고 도막을 구성하고 있는 수지의 종류 및 결합 가교밀도에 따라서 흡수성이 큰 영향을 받는다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 방식도막에 있어서는 접촉하는 전해질 용액의 농도 변화에 따라 흡$\cdot$탈수 현상이 발생하였으며, 같은 종류의 도막이라도 도막두께가 얇을수록 탈수현상에 따른 capacitance의 증가폭이 큰 것으로 나타났다

Amorphous Ge20As20Se60 chalcogenide thin films were prepared by spin coating technique from mixed solutions of As40Se60 and Ge40Se60 dissolved in ethylenediamine. Films were prepared at a roating speed of 3500 rpm and spinning time was 10 second and heat-treateed at 27$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. The resulting film thickness and RMS roughness were approximately 340 nm and 15$\AA$. Photostructure changes were investigated with 514.5nm Ar+ laser irradiation and heat-treatment. After Ar+ laser irradiation, transmittance and transmission efficiency decreased respectively up to 24.9% at 2.43 eV and 67.5% at 3.27 eV, and absorption edge shifted toward long wavelength. Optical bandgap changed from 2.03 to 1.83 eV, and absoprtion coefficient and absorption efficiency increased up to 0.33$\times$105cm-1 at 3.37eV and 88.3% at 1.31 eV, respectively. These photodarkening state were recovered reversibly by heat-treatment at 27$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. Photodarkening and thermal bleaching effects by laser irradiation and heat-treatment revealed reversible amorphous-to-amorphous transition varying only coordination number.
