Recently, the lifetime extension of nuclear power plants has been considered. Thus, it is necessary to consider facility safety management and economic management. However, when the bolts in nuclear power plants are replaced and the turbines of nuclear power plant are disassembled, numerous problems are found in relation to stuck bolts in clamping parts. In order to solve these problems, a hybrid vacuum chamber was first designed and manufactured. It can perform arc ion plating and sputtering, which were used to deposit Ti/TiN on an A913 B7 bolt. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses were conducted to determine the composition and characteristics of the bolt, and tests were conducted to determine how long the bolt could endure under various conditions in a nuclear power plant. The SEM and XRD results clearly showed a continual and even coating layer. When this TiN-coated bolt is used in a nuclear power plant, the lifetime can be extended compared to a conventional bolt, but it is necessary to determine what additional properties are required.

In this study, the influence of silicon contents on the microstructure, mechanical and tribological properties of Ti-Al-Si-N coatings were systematically investigated for application of cutting tools. The composition of the Ti-Al-Si-N coatings were controlled by different combinations of TiAl₂ and Ti₄Si composite target powers using an arc ion plating technique in a reactive gas mixture of high purity Ar and N₂ during depositions. Ti-Al-Si-N films were nanocomposite consisting of nanosized (Ti,Al,Si)N crystallites embedded in an amorphous Si₃N₄/SiO₂ matrix. The instrumental analyses revealed that the synthesized Ti-Al-Si-N film with Si content of 5.63 at.% was a nanocomposites consisting of nano-sized crystallites (5-7 nm in dia.) and a three dimensional thin layer of amorphous Si₃N₄ phase. The hardness of the Ti-Al-Si-N coatings also exhibited the maximum hardness value of about 47 GPa at a silicon content of ~5.63 at.% due to the microstructural change to a nanocomposite as well as the solid-solution hardening. The coating has a low friction coefficient of 0.55 at room temperature against an Inconel alloy ball. These excellent mechanical and tribological properties of the Ti-Al-Si-N coatings could help to improve the performance of machining and cutting tool applications.

Recently TiN, TiAlN, CrN hardcoatings have adapted many industrial application such as die, mold and cutting tools because of good wear resistant and thermal stability. However, in terms of high speed process, general hard coatings have been limited by oxidation and thermal hardness drop. Especially in the case of PCB drill, high speed cutting and without lubricant process condition have not adapted these coatings until now. Therefore more recently, superhard nanocomposite coating which have superhard and good thermal stability have developed. In previous works, WC-TiAlN new nanocomposite film was investigated by cathodic arc ion plating system. Control of AI concentration, WC-TiAlN multi layer composite coating with controlled microstructure was carried out and provides additional enhancement of mechanical properties as well as oxidation resistance at elevated temperature. It is noted that microhardness ofWC-TiA1N multi layer composite coating increased up to 50 Gpa and got thermal stability about $900^{\circ}C$. In this study WC-TiAlN nanocomposite coating was deposited on PCB drill for enhancement of life time. The parameter was A1 concentration and plasma cleaning time for edge sharpness maintaining. The characteristic of WC-TiAlN film formation and wear behaviors are discussed with data from AlES, XRD, EDS and SEM analysis. Through field test, enhancement of life time for PCB drill was measured.

In order to investigate the interfacial structure between TiN and iron nitride, an AISI 4140 steel was nitrided to form a layer of thickness 15$\mum$ by DC ion nitriding, then the surface was bombarded with Ti ions and subsequently coated a TiN film of 5$\mum$ by arc ion plating method. The interfacial microstructure between TiN and iron nitride was characterized by optical microscope, SEM and XRD. So called black layer was observed in the duplex treatment. It was resulted from the decomposition of iron nitride during the bombardment. Its thickness was increased with increasing bombardment time at high bias voltage. But the thickness was greatly decreased when the iron nitride was bombarded with a nitrogen gas or at a reduced bias voltage. The adhesion strength of the top TiN coating was decreased with increasing thickness of the black layer. Furthermore, the reduced adhesion strength in this system was discussed in view of the interfacial structural relationship between TiN and iron nitride.

In this study, corrosion characteristics of TiN and ZrN film on the abutment screw by arc-ion plating were investigated using a potentiodynamic anodic polarization test in deaerated 0.9% NaCl solution at $36.5{\pm}1^{\circ}C$. The surface morphologies of the coating layers before and after corrosion test were investigated by a field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and a energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The surfaces of the TiN and ZrN coated abutment screws showed the smooth surfaces without mechanical defects like scratches which can be formed during the manufacturing process, compared with those of the non-coated abutment screw. The corrosion and passive current densities of TiN and ZrN coated abutment screws were lower than those of the non-coated abutment screw.

이온성 고분자-금속 복합체(ionic polymer metal composite, IPMC)는 낮은 구동 전압에서도 비교적 빠른 응답 속도를 갖는 전기활성고분자(electro active polymer, EAP) 재료이다. IPMC는 인간의 근육과 유사한 인성 및 변형 특성을 나타내므로 최근 인공근육용 구동체 개발을 위한 많은 연구들이 진행되어 왔으며, 또한 우주항공, 센서 및 펌프 등의 다양한 분야에서 적용가능성이 조사되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 액상 내피온을 이용하여 용액 캐스팅 방법으로 다양한 두께의 내피온 막을 제조하는 방법을 도입하였다. IPMC 제조방법은 Oguro가 제안한 방법을 기초로 하여 도금온도를 변화시켜 무전해 도금법을 이용하여 내피온 내부로의 1차 전극을 형성시켰으며, 형성된 1차 전극의 안정성과 표면전기저항을 낮추기 위하여 이온빔보조증착법(ion beam assisted deposition, IBAD)을 도입하여 금과 이리듐을 1차 전극표면 위에 증착하여 2차 전극을 형성시켰다. 1, 2차 무전해 도금한 IPMC와 2차 IBAD 코팅한 IPMC 전극의 표면과 단면 형상을 SEM으로 관찰하였으며, 전압을 인가할 때 IPMC 내부의 수분증발 및 이온전도도의 변화를 조사하였다. 또한 다양한 두께의 IPMC를 제조하여 두께변화에 따른 변위와 구동력을 측정하였다.

철판에 도금한 아연을 구리이온으로 치환하는 치환도금법과 철판에 직접 구리를 증착하는 진공증착법으로 두께가 다른 구리박막 피복철판을 제조하여 배합고무와 접착성질을 조사하였다. 구리박막 피복철판과 배합고무의 접착세기는 제조방법에 관계없이 구리박막 두께에 따라 결정되었다. 구리박막이 75 nm보다 얇으면 안정한 접착층이 형성되어 황동판에 못지 않게 고무와 강하게 접착되었으나, 90 nm보다 두터우면 구리황화물이 지나치게 성정하여 접착세기가 약하였다.

Chloride baths for electrodeposited Ni thin films were fabricated by dissolving metal Ni powders with the mixed solution consisting of HCl and de-ionized water. Current efficiency, residual stress, surface morphology and microstructure of Ni films with the change of metal ion ($Ni^{2+}$) concentrations in the plating solution were studied. Current efficiency was measured to be more than 90% with increasing $Ni^{2+}$ concentrations in the plating solution. Residual stress of Ni thin film was increased from about 400 to 780 MPa with increasing $Ni^{2+}$ concentration from 0.2 to 0.5 M. It is gradually decreased to 650 MPa at 0.9 M $Ni^{2+}$ concentration. Smooth surface morphologies were observed over 0.3 M $Ni^{2+}$ concentration, but nodule surface morphology at 0.2 M. Ni films consist of FCC(111), FCC(200), FCC(220) and FCC(311) peaks in XRD patterns. Preferred orientation of FCC(111) was observed and its intensity was slightly decreased with increasing $Ni^{2+}$ concentration. The average grain size was slightly increased at 0.3 M $Ni^{2+}$ concentration and then slightly decreased with increasing $Ni^{2+}$ concentration.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to determine characteristics of workers' exposures to airborne total and hexavalent chromium by job title in electroplating processes. Methods: Total Cr was determined through a modified method based on NIOSH Method 7024. Airborne hexavalent Cr, Cr(VI), was sampled and extracted according to NIOSH Method 7600 and analyzed at 520 nm using an ion chromatograph/visible detector. Results: The geometric mean(GM) of total Cr concentrations from all factories was $11.2{\mu}g/m^3$(GSD=4.9). The GM of Cr(VI) concentrations from all factories was $2.84{\mu}g/m$ (GSD=5.2), and the concentrations among factories were significantly different (p<0.05). The Cr(VI) levels were lower than total Cr levels. Total Cr exposure levels were highest among buffing workers ($21.6{\mu}g/m^3$), but Cr(VI) levels were highest among plating workers($4.15{\mu}g/m^3$). The concentrations of Cr(VI) and total Cr from plating tasks was highly correlated(r=0.91). Conclusions: In the electroplating industry, plating workers were mainly exposed to Cr(VI), but others were not. Oxidation-reduction states of Cr and job titles should be considered in the exposure or risk assessments of chrome electroplating factories.

HFL-I 세포를 이용하여 immediate assay를 시행하였다. 발생한 repair의 양이 없기 때문에 $LogSn=-n{\gamma}({\alpha}d+{\beta}d^2$)에서 ${\gamma}$의 값은 1이며 이는 LQ model과 같다. 그리고 세포생존율의 데이터를 바탕으로 ${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$, ${\alpha}/{\beta}$의 값을 얻었다. 또한 12시간, 36시간, 48시간 후 delayed assay를 시행하여 marchese model 통해 ${\gamma}$값을 도출한 후 Pot entially lethal damage repair (PLDR)가 발생한 양을 확인하였다. delay time이 길어질수록 ${\gamma}$값은 감소함으로써 PLDR의 양이 증가함을 확인하였고 이에 따라 세포생존율은 상승됨을 보였다. 탄소빔의 1분할, 2분할, 3분할, 4분할 조사 시 각각의 interval 시간동안 나타나는 ${\gamma}$값 역시 감소하고 있음을 확인하여 PLDR의 발생을 확인할 수 있었지만 ${\gamma}$값만 감안한 marchese model을 surviving fraction값에 적용 시 오류 발생함을 보였다. 이는 탄소빔 분할조사 시 다른 회복의 매커니즘이 존재함을 뜻하여 이를 적용할 수 있는 새로운 파라미터가 고려되어져야 할 것이다.
