There has been a great interest in the use of titanium for fixed and removable prostheses in recent because of its excellent biocompatibility. However the high melting temperature and chemical reactivity of titanium necessitates casting systems different from those used in conventional casting. The current titanium casting systems are based on an electric-arc design for melting the metal in an argon atmosphere and its exclusive investment. Despite the new developments in Ti casting systems, inadequate mold filling and internal porosity are frequently observed casting defects. Therefore, the study on the fabrication technique including sprue design to solve these casting defects is still necessary. In this study to evaluate the effect of sprue design on the castability of simulated cast titanium crowns, 10 cylindrical cast crowns for each group with four different sprue design(Single group. Double group, Runner bar group. Reservoir group) were fabricated. An impression of the entire casting margin was made and cut at $90^{\circ}$ intervals, and the sections were photographed in a microscope at $100{\times}$ magnification to record marginal discrepancy. The internal porosities of the cast crowns were disclosed by radiographs. Within the limits of this study. the following conclusions were drawn. 1. The overall mean marginal discrepancies for each group were as follows: Double group, $43.65{\mu}m$; Reservoir group, $50.27{\mu}m$; Single group, $54.17{\mu}m$; Runner bar group, $58.90{\mu}m$ (p<0.05). 2. The mean of marginal discrepancies for wax patterns was $10.65{\mu}m$. 3 The numbers of internal porosity showed the most in Runner bar group followed by Single group, Reservoir group, and Double group.

In this study, hydrogen charging was conducted for API X70 steel by the electro-chemical hydrogen charging method. Right after hydrogen was diffused from the specimen surface to the inside of the X70, the small punch tests and hydrogen concentration analysis was conducted within 5 minutes. Hydrogen was analyzed by melting the whole specimen and detect the gas after melting. Mechanical properties were measured by the small punch (SP) testing. Fracture surface and specimen surface were observed using scanning electron microscope. Three tests were repeated for study sensitivity of the SP test results under a same charging condition. It was observed that the variation of the maximum load, SP displacement at failure, hydrogen concentration as the charging period was not much in the case of X70 as the other steel such as Inconel. It can be argued that X70 base metal may have high hydrogen damage resistance and hydrogen diffusion in the base metal would not cause much embrittlement. Limitations of the SP test with 0.5 mm thickness for hydrogen damage test for X70 were discussed.

In this study, a numerical analysis on the discharging performance of a thermal storage tank completely filled with packing modules is investigated. The enthalpy-porosity method is adopted to analyze phase change phenomenon. Using this method, the melting process of a packing module in the thermal storage tank was studied as the HTF (heat transfer fluid) flows down from the top of the tank at the discharging mode. There are some design factors such as the module arrangement and the number of modules, but this study focuses on the effects of varying the flow rate of the HTF on the outlet temperature of the HTF, molten fraction, and thermal storage density. As the flow rate increases, the outlet temperature of the HTF gets higher and the total melting time of the PCM decreases. Additionally, the thermal storage density is increased so that it reaches about 93% for the desired value.

Direct energy deposition (DED) technique uses a laser heat source to deposit a metal layer on a substrate. Many researchers have used the DED technique to study the hardfacing of molds and dies. The aim of this study is to obtain high surface hardness and a sound bonding between the AISI M4 deposits and a substrate utilizing a mixed powder that contains M4 and AISI P21 powders. To prevent interfacial cracks between the M4 deposits and the substrate, the mixed powder is pre-deposited onto a JIS S45C substrate, before the deposition of M4 powders. Interfacial defects occurring between the deposits and substrate and changes in the microhardness of the intermediate layer were examined. Observations of the cross-sections of deposited specimens revealed that the interfacial cracks appeared in samples with one and two mixed layers regardless of the mixture ratio. However, the crack was removed by increasing the mixture ratio and the number of intermediate layers. Meanwhile, the microhardness in the mixed layer was found to decrease with increasing ratio of P21 powder in the mixture and that in the upper region of the deposited layers was approximately 800 HV, which was attributed to various alloying elements in the M4 powder.

In order to prevent an ammonia container from bursting under conditions such as overcharging and abnormal temperature rise, it is necessary to prepare accident prevention measures through analysis of the operating mechanism of the Thermally Activated Pressure Relief Devices (TPRD) attached to the container. In this study, stress analysis acting on the ammonia container under pressurized conditions, density change analysis according to temperature change, and correlation between container filling amount and temperature and pressure change were presented. In addition, the maximum filling amount of the ammonia container was calculated, and the temperature and pressure at the filling amount were calculated through the phase equilibrium diagram. Based on this, the appropriate melting point of the Thermally Activated Pressure Relief Devices was derived and verified through a melting temperature experiment. Based on the results of this study, conditions for preventing ammonia container rupture accidents were suggested.

Thermoplastic composite has been limitedly used in high performance aerospace industry due to relatively low mechanical properties even though it has various advantages. But, thermoplastic aromatic polymer composite has recently been researched and utilized much. In this study, PEEK and PPS neat resin film as representative thermoplastic aromatic polymer were processed through continuous heating, cooling and reheating cycle. Property change such as glass transition temperature and melting temperature were identified and crystallinity variation by different cooling rate were evaluated. In the first (heating) run, polymer specimens were kept for 5 minutes at higher temperature than melting point to remove previous thermal history, and crystallization reaction was controlled by adjusting cooling rate to 2, 5, 10, 20 and $40^{\circ}C/minute$ in the second (cooling) run. In the third (heating) run, specimen crystallinity were verified by measuring the melting enthalpy. The initial specimens containing high portion of amorphous structure exhibited cold crystallization and clear glass transition in the first run whereas they did not show in the third run due to the increase of crystalline structure portion. As cooling rate decreases through the second cooling run, the crystallinity of the specimen increased. PEEK polymer had 21.9~39.3% crystallinity depending on cooling rate change whereas PPS polymer showed 29.1~31.2%.

Crude ${\beta}-glucan$ extracted from Barley was purified by stepwide enzyme treatment with thermostable ${\alpha}-amylase$, amyloglucosidase and protease. The thermal properties of Barley ${\beta}-glucan$ were investigated by Differential Scanning Calorimetry. Three endotherms have been observed on DSC thermograms of Barley ${\beta}-glucan$. The first endotherm which produced the gelatinization phenomena commonly observed in Barley ${\beta}-glucan$ became the focus of this study. The temperature range and the enthalpy of gelation exhibited maximum values with increasing concentration of Barley ${\beta}-glucan$. Gelating Barley ${\beta}-glucan$ registered an enthalpy of approximately 0.23 cal/g and exhibited onset temperature (To), peak temperature (Tp) and conclusion temperature (Tc) of $48.8^{\circ}C,\;61.2^{\circ}C\;and\;78.5^{\circ}C$ respectively. The temperature and enthalpy of gelatinizing Barley ${\beta}-glucan$ at both alkali and acid conditions were lower than those at pH 7. With salt present, the Tp and Tc of gelating Barley ${\beta}-glucan$ produced lower temperatures than in conditions where salt was absent, and the enthalpy abruptly decreased. However, increasing salt concentrations did not affect the gelation temperature and the enthalpy of Barley ${\beta}-glucan$. The 'true melting' temperature of Barley ${\beta}-glucan$ was near $184^{\circ}C$ and the melting enthalpy was approximately 34.6 cal/g. The Barley ${\beta}-glucan$ decomposition temperature was in the range of $316^{\circ}C{\sim}346^{\circ}C$.
