The microstructure and mechanical properties of a Cu-Fe-P copper alloy processed by differential speed rolling (DSR) were investigated in detail. The copper alloy, with a thickness of 3 mm, was rolled to 50% reduction at ambient temperature without lubrication with a differential speed ratio of 2.0:1 and then annealed for 0.5h at various temperatures ranging from 100 to $800^{\circ}C$. Conventional rolling was performed under the same rolling conditions for comparison. The shear strain introduced by the conventional rolling process showed positive values at the positions of the upper roll side and negative values at the positions of the lower roll side. However, the result was zero or positive values at all positions for samples rolled by DSR. The effects of DSR on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the as-rolled and subsequently annealed samples are discussed.

The strain, microstructure and mechanical properties through thickness of an oxygen free copper(OFC) processed by differential speed rolling(DSR) were investigated in detail. The OFC sample with thickness of 1 mm was rolled to 35% reduction at ambient temperature without lubrication changing the differential speed ratio from 1.0:1 to 2.2:1. The shear strain introduced by the conventional rolling showed positive values at positions of upper roll side and negative values at positions of lower roll side. However, it showed zero or positive values at all positions for the samples rolled by the DSR. The effects of strain distribution through thickness of the coper sheets on microstructure, texture and mechanical properties are discussed in the present study.

This study proposes to develop a 3D printed re-entrant(RE) strip by shape memory thermoplastic polyurethane that can be deformed and recovered by thermal stimulation. The most suitable 3D printing infill density condition and temperature condition during shape recovery for mechanical behavior were confirmed. As the poisson's ratio indicated, the higher the recovery temperature, the closer the poisson's ratio to zero and the better the auxetic properties. After recovery testing for five minutes, it appeared that the shape recovery ratio was the highest at 70℃. The temperature range when the shape recovery ratio appeared to be more than 90% was a recovery temperature of more than 50℃ and 60℃ when deformed under a constant load of 100 gf and 300 gf, respectively. This indicated that further deformation occurred after maximum recovery when recovered at a temperature of 80℃, which is above the glass transition temperature range. As for REstrip by infill density, a shape recovery properties of 100% was superior than 50%. Additionally, as the re-entrant structure exhibited a shape recovery ratio of more than 90%, and exhibited auxetic properties. It was confirmed that the infill density condition of 100% and the temperature condition of 70℃ are suitable for REstrips for applying the actuator.

The purpose of this study was to investigate how diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings could improve ceramic-glass durability and surface property. Ceramic-glass is valued for its aesthetic appeal. However, it is brittle and easily damaged. To address this issue, we looked into the use of DLC coatings known for their high hardness and low friction properties. Starting with cleaning the surface with linear ion guns to remove any impurities, a buffer layer was applied to enhance the adhesion of coatings. The DLC layer was deposited using unbalanced magnetron (UBM) sputtering, which maximized the deposition efficiency by controlling magnetic fields. Results demonstrated a significant improvement in mechanical properties of ceramic glass, with DLC-coated surfaces achieved a friction coefficient close to zero, a surface hardness of 22 GPa, and an adhesion strength exceeding 30 N. These findings confirm that DLC coatings can substantially increase the durability and extend the service life of ceramic glass, making them a promising solution for enhancing performances of high-cost brittle materials.

The effects of conventional rolling (CR) and differential speed rolling (DSR) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a copper alloy sheet were investigated in detail. A copper alloy with thickness of 3 mm was rolled to a 50% reduction at ambient temperature without lubrication with a differential speed ratio of 2:1; sample was then annealed for 0.5h at various temperatures from 100 to $800^{\circ}C$. Conventional rolling, in which the rolling speed of the upper and lower rolls is identical, was performed under the same rolling conditions. The shear strain introduced by the CR showed positive values at positions on the upper roll side and negative values at positions on the lower roll side. However, the shear strain showed a zero or positive value at all positions for the samples rolled by the DSR. The microstrucure and mechanical properties of the as-rolled copper alloy did not show very significant differences between the CR and DSR for the microstructure and mechanical properties. However, those properties showed very significant differences in the case of the annealed samples. The effects of rolling method on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the as-rolled and subsequently annealed materials are discussed in terms of the shear strain.

The inspection of surface properties under n-octadecyltrichlorosilane treated $SiO_2$ film was carried out by current-voltage characteristic and the scanning electron microscope. The voltage at zero current in low electric field is the lowest at 0.3 % OTS treated $SiO_2$ film with hybrid type. $SiO_2$ films changed from inorganic to hybrid or organic properties according to the increase of OTS content. OTS treated $SiO_2$ films with hybrid properties decreased the leakage currents, and the grain size of pentacene deposited sample was also the most small at the hybrid properties. The perpendicular generation of pentacene molecular was related with the surface of insulators. The surface with hybrid properties decreased the grain size, but that with inorganic or organic properties increased the grain size.

Since the acoustic nonlinearity is sensitive to the minute variation of material properties, the nonlinear ultrasonic technique(NUT) has been considered as a promising method to evaluate the material degradation or fatigue. However, there are certain limitations to apply the conventional NUT using the bulk wave to thin plates. In case of plates, the use of Lamb wave can be considered, however, the propagation characteristics of Lamb wave are completely different with the bulk wave, and thus the separate study for the nonlinearity of Lamb wave is required. For this work, this paper analyzed first the conditions of mode pair suitable for the practical application as well as for the cumulative propagation of quadratic harmonic frequency and summarized the result in for conditions; (1) phase matching, (2) non-zero power flux, (3) group velocity matching, and (4) non-zero out-of-plane displacement. Experimental results in aluminum plates showed that the amplitude of the secondary Lamb wave and nonlinear parameter growed up with increasing propagation distance at the mode pair satisfying the above all conditions and that the ration of nonlinear parameters measured in Al6061-T6 and Al1100-H15 was closed to the ratio of the absolute nonlinear parameters.

Objective of this research was to assess the effectiveness of the different sources of the zero-valent irons (ZVIs) on the reduction of the toxic Cr(VI) to the nonhazardous Cr(III) in an aqueous solution. The physical and chemical properties of the six ZVIs were determined. Particle size and specific surface area of the ZVIs were in the ranges of $85.55{\sim}196.46{\mu}m\;and\;0.055{\sim}0.091m^2/g$, respectively. Most of the ZVIs contained Fe greater than 98% except for J (93%) and PU (88%). Reduction efficiencies of the ZVI for Cr(VI) reduction were varied with kinds of ZVIs. The J and PU ZVIs reduced 100% and 98% of Cr(VI) in the aqueous solution, respectively, within 3 hrs of reaction. However, PA, F, Sand J1 reduced 74, 65, 29 and 11% of Cr(VI), respectively, after 48 hrs. The pH of the reacting solution was rapidly increased from 3 to $4.34{\sim}9.04$ within 3 hrs. The oxidation-reduction potential (Eh) of the reacting solution was dropped from 600 to 319 mV within 3 hrs following addition of ZVIs to the Cr(VI) contaminated water. The capability of ZVIs for Cr(VI) reduction was the orders of PU > J > PA > F > S > J1, which coincided with the capacities to increase the pH and decrease the redox potentials. Results suggested that the reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) was derived from the oxidation of the ZVI in the aqueous solution.

The effect of oxide additive system and $Po_2$ condition on the power loss, microstructure, initial permeability, ${\mu}_i$ vs. temperature curve of Mn-Zn ferrites has been investigated. The density and permeability increased with various additive systems while the power loss decreased. It was confirmed that the oxide additives are grain boundary materials and do not change the magnetic properties of Mn-Zn ferrites such as $T_{spm}$ and $T_c$. The ${\mu}_i$ vs. T curve indicated that $T_{spm}$ moved to the higher temperature as $Po_2$ increased. It was also confirmed that the microstructure of Mn-Zn ferrites was independent of the $Po_2$ control during cooling.

Recent progress of electric technology requires new piezoelectric crystals having superior properties such as zero temperature coefficients and large electromechanical coupling factors. We have developed a series of new leading chandidates, La$_3$Ga5SiO14(langasite, LGS), La3Nb0.5Ga5.5O14(LNG), La3Ta0.5O14(LTG), to satisfy those requirements. High quality LGS, LNG and LTG single crystals, with dimensions of 2 inches in diameter, were successfully grown by the Czochralski method at a pulling rate of 1mm/h. Since no variation of chemical composition was observed when whole melt in a crucible was crystallized, congruency of these compositions was confirmed. Physical constants such as elastic constants, dielectric constants and piezoelectric constants were measured. Filters and oscillators made of grown LGS, LNG and LTG single crystals showed superior properties such as three times wider passband than that of quartz, low insertion loss and easy processing, Langasite family crystals were shown to be superior materials to other known materials such as quartz, LiTaO$_3$, $\alpha$-AlPO$_4$ and Li$_2$B$_4$O7.
