Purpose: The present study was performed to evaluate the effect of erbium:yttrium-aluminium-garnet (Er:YAG) laser irradiation on the change of hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated implant surface microstructure according to the laser energy and the application time. Methods: The implant surface was irradiated by Er:YAG laser under combination condition using the laser energy of 100 mJ/pulse, 140 mJ/pulse and 180 mJ/pulse and application time of 1 minute, 1.5 minutes and 2 minutes. The specimens were examined by surface roughness evaluation and scanning electron microscopic observation. Results: In scanning electron microscope, HA-coated implant surface was not altered by Er:YAG laser irradiation under experimental condition on 100 mJ/pulse, 1 minute. Local areas with surface melting and cracks were founded on 100 mJ/pulse, 1.5 minutes and 2 minutes. One hundred forty mJ/pulse and 180 mJ/pulse group had surface melting and peeling area of HA particles, which condition was more severe depending on the increase of application time. Under all experimental condition, the difference of surface roughness value on implant surface was not statistically significant. Conclusions: Er:YAG laser on HA-coated implant surface is recommended to be irradiated below 100 mJ/pulse, 1 minute for detoxification of implant surface without surface alteration.

With an increasing trend toward miniaturization, electrical discharge machining(EDM) has been receiving a lot of attention as a suitable production technology for micro-parts, since it enables the machining of hard conductive materials with a high degree of repeatability and without alteration to the material. When a micro-hole is fabricated by EDM, however, the diameter of the inlet hole is larger than that of the outlet region due to the additional discharge effect caused by the eroded particles. In this paper, a shot blasting surface treatment, in which an abrasive material is accelerated through a pressurized nozzle and directed at the surface of a part, is suggested as an effective method to reduce the tapered shape of EDM micro-hole. In addition, the influence of process parameters such as spark-on time and electrode diameter on the machining performance was investigated. It is shown quantitatively that the difference in diameter between the inlet and outlet holes decreases with the shot blasting treatment and with decreasing spark-on time.

Pipes are widely used in various industries such as automobile, anti-vibration devices, factories and ship building. Chamfering is one of the most critical processes in pipe manufacturing which removes burrs of the pipes for better surface quality. In most cases, the defects of the chamfered surface are originated from the structural vibrations of the chamfering machine. In this study, the dynamic characteristics of a chamfering machine have been analyzed though the experiment and the computer simulation. And the effects of the design parameters affecting the stability of the machine have been investigated to stabilize the machine structure and further to reduce structural vibrations. The result shows that design alterations to stabilize the machine can suppress the defects of the machined surface as well as the vibrations during chamfering.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Er:YAG laser on microstructure and roughness of $TiO_2$ blasting implant surface. Materials and Methods: Ten $TiO_2$ blasting implant were used in this experiment. One implant was control group, and nine $TiO_2$ blasting implant surfaces were irradiated with Er:YAG laser under 100 mJ/pulse, 140 mJ/pulse, and 180 mJ/pulse condition for 1 min, 1.5 min, and 2 min respectively. Optical interferometer and scanning electron microscopy was utilized to measure roughness and microstructure of specimens. Results: The surface roughness was decreased after Er:YAG laser irradiation in all groups, but there was no significant difference. 100 mJ/pulse and 140 mJ/pulse group did not alter the $TiO_2$ blasting implant surface in SEM study while 180 mJ/pulse group altered the $TiO_2$ blasting implant surface. Implant surfaces showed melting, microfracture and smooth surface in 180 mJ/pulse group. Conclusion: Detoxification of implant surface using Er:YAG laser must be irradiated with proper energy output and irradiation time to prevent implant surface alteration.

Recently, the demand for semiconductors is expanded to various industries, and the use of high-quality and high-performance chips is increasing. With the trend, the diameter magnification and high integration of the semiconductor wafers are mandatory. As a result, there is a growing demand for the productivity improvement and the surface precision. There have been many studies on the stabilization of the wafer manufacturing processes in order to satisfy those specifications. Many complaints have been appealed by the wafer buyers that there are many unacceptable wafers with surface defects and foreign material adhesion which are caused by the vibrations during transportation. This study intends to derive the material improvement of the packing box of the wafers to suppress the vibrations of the box, and eventually to reduce the surface defects and the foreign material adhesion. The result shows that optimal material can substantially decrease the vibration of the packing box.

아르곤(Ar) 플라즈마 처리된 폴리프로필렌 복합소재의 표면 개질 및 특성 변화를 X-선 광전자 분광 분석(XPS), 적외선 분광 분석(FTIR), 주사 전자 현미경 분석(SEM) 및 접촉각 측정 등을 이용하여 조사하였다. Ar 플라즈마 처리 시간의 증가는 폴리프로필렌 복합소재 표면의 젖음성, 극성 관능기를 갖는 산소 성분, 탈크 함량 및 표면조도의 증가를 초래하였다. 주사 전자 현미경 분석을 통한 자세한 관찰은 폴리프로필렌 성분으로 구성된 표면층(skin layer)이 존재함을 확인하였다. 폴리프로필렌과 고무 입자간의 점도차는 표면층의 생성을 촉진시켰다. 하지만 Ar 플라즈마 처리시간의 증가는 표면층의 두께를 감소시키는 것을 확인하였다. 사출성형 공정 동안, 표면층을 제거할 수 있는 추가적인 방법론에 대해서도 토의하였다. Ar 플라즈마 처리에 의한 표면 개질 및 모폴로지의 변화는 폴리프로필렌 복합소재 표면 상에 친수화 상태를 부여하고, 이에 따라 젖음성 향상을 유도하였다.

Purpose: The present study was performed to evaluate the effect of erbium-doped: yttrium, aluminium and garnet (Er:YAG) laser irradiation on sand-blasted, large grit, acid-etched (SLA) implant surface microstructure according to varying energy levels and application times of the laser. Methods: The implant surface was irradiated by the Er:YAG laser under combined conditions of 100, 140, or 180 mJ/pulse and an application time of 1 minute, 1.5 minutes, or 2 minutes. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to examine the surface roughness of the specimens. Results: All experimental conditions of Er:YAG laser irradiation, except the power setting of 100 mJ/pulse for 1 minute and 1.5 minutes, led to an alteration in the implant surface. SEM evaluation showed a decrease in the surface roughness of the implants. However, the difference was not statistically Significant. Alterations of implant surfaces included meltdown and flattening. More extensive alterations were present with increasing laser energy and application time. Conclusions: To ensure no damage to their surfaces, it is recommended that SLA implants be irradiated with an Er:YAG laser below 100 mJ/pulse and 1.5 minutes for detoxifying the implant surfaces.

Passive fitting of meso-structure and super-structures is a predominant requirement for the longevity and clinical success of osseointegrated dental implants. However, precision and passive fitting has been unpredictable with conventional methods of casting as well as for corrective techniques. Alternative to conventional techniques, electro discharge machining(EDM) is an advanced method introduced to dental technology to improve the passive fitting of implant prosthesis. In this technique material is removed by melting and vaporization in electric sparks. Regarding the efficacy of EDM, the application of this technique induces severe surface morphological and elemental alterations due to the high temperatures developed during machining, which vary between $10,000{\sim}20,000^{\circ}C$. The aim of this study was to investigate the morphological and elemental alterations induced by EDM process of casting dental gold alloy and non-precious alloy used for the production of implant-supported prosthesis. A conventional clinical dental casting alloys were used for experimental specimens patterns, which were divided in three groups, high fineness gold alloy(Au 75%, HG group), low fineness gold alloy(Au 55%, LG group) and nonprecious metal alloy(Ni-Cr, NP group). The UCLA type plastic abutment patterns were invested with conventional investment material and were cast in a centrifugal casting machine. Castings were sandblasted with $50{\mu}m\;Al_2O_3$. One casting specimen of each group was polished by conventional finishing(HGCON, LGCON, NPCON) and one specimen of each group was subjected to EDM in a system using Cu electrodes, kerosene as dielectric fluid in 10 min for gold alloy and 20 min for Ni-Cr alloy(HGEDM. LGEDM, NOEDM). The surface morphology of all specimens was studied under an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS). The quantitative results from EDS analysis are presented on the HGEDM and LGEDM specimens a significant increase in C and Cu concentrations was found after EDM finishing. The different result was documented for C on the NPEDM with a significant uptake of O after EDM finishing, whereas Al, Si showed a significant decrease in their concentrations. EDS analysis showed a serious uptake of C and Cu after the EDM procedure in the alloys studied. The C uptake after the EDM process is a common finding and it is attributed to the decomposition of the dielectric fluid in the plasma column, probably due to the development of extremely high temperatures. The Cu uptake is readily explained from the decomposition of Cu electrodes, something which is also a common finding after the EDM procedure. However, all the aforementioned mechanisms require further research. The clinical implication of these findings is related with the biological and corrosion resistance of surfaces prepared by the EDM process.

한반도 서부의 황토현에 분포하는 적색의 풍화층은 온대몬순기후의 한반도 기후환경과 어울리지 않는 토색을 띤다. 이 적색토(풍화층)는 화학적 풍화를 반영한 것으로서, 화학적 풍화지수(CIA)와 A-CN-K 도식을 활용하면 그 특색을 규명할 수 있다. CaO와 $Na_2O$의 손실은 대부분 이루어진 상태이며, $K_2O$의 손실이 단면 하부에서 상부로 가면서 점차 진행되고 있는 상태이다. 풍화단계에 따른 풍화 진전 방향을 유형화 하면, A-CN-K 도식에서 일반 구릉대 풍화층에서 나타나는 풍화 초 중기 단계에는 A-CN 선을 따라 풍화가 진전되며, 황토현 일대와 같이 강한 화학적 풍화가 진전된 풍화 후기에는 A-K 선을 따라 $K_2O$의 손실이 이루어지면서 풍화가 진전된다.

일본 오야응회암의 역학적 특성에 영향을 주는 화학적 풍화 열화 및 변질작용을 고찰하였다. XRD회절분석과 전자현미경분석 결과, 오야응회암은 제올라이트 광물인 클리높틸로라이트를 상당량 포함하고 있으며, 석영, 사장석, 정장석, 모오데나이트, 오팔C-T, 스멕타이트를 수반한다. 풍화된 응회암에서 석영의 함량감소 정도는 비교적 적으나, 장석의 함량감소가 뚜렷하므로 화산유리질과 장석으로부터 실리카, 알루미늄 및 알칼리원소가 공급되어 추가적 인 제올라이트가 형성된 것으로 볼 수 있다. 신선한 오야응회암의 경우, 이미 형성과정동안 상당한 양$(30\~50\%)$이 제올라이트화한 것으로 볼 때, 물이나 습기에 이 암석이 노출된다면 쉽게 풍화, 변질되어 이 암석의 강도는 급격히 감소할 것으로 예측된다. 화산성 기질과 반정간 광물조성과 화학조성의 차이로 인하여 동일한 시료내에서도 풍화, 변질되는 양상은 서로 상이할 것으로 예측된다.
