Currently, 23 different fields of science and engineering programs are carried out by researchers in institutes, universities and industries. Center for Advanced Materials Processing (CAMP) was formulated in 2001 to develop the advanced materials as well as to improve the parts manufacturing process. The main role of CAMP is proposing and forecasting the long term vision in Materials Processing Technology and also supporting the project teams for their best performance in R&D. The CAMP program consists of 5 research areas such as, Multi-layer Ceramic Electronic Parts, Powder Formed Precision Parts, 3 Dimensional Polymer Based Composites, Functional Metal Sheets, Parts Integration Technology. An introduction of R & D activities at CAMP, specially focusing on powder metallurgy, wil be presented.

The sintered parts are mainly used for automobile industry, and a part of air conditioners. In automobile industry, the application range of sintered parts is very broad and use for a driving and a lubricating system. And air conditioner uses them for compressor. Grinding of compressor and pump parts is very difficult these days, because these parts use High hardness materials and require high precision grinding. Tool life has to be extended to decrease production cost. We analyzed processing mechanism and developed new grinding wheels for Double Disk Grinding. And, we introduce new truing technology that improved tool-life and precision.

PCBN tools are used worldwide for machining of hardened steel parts in automotive industries. But in heavy interrupted cutting of hardened steel, the tool life is not so stable by sudden breakage of the cutting edge, and total cost of cutting by PCBN is not so economical compared to the grinding. To solve this problem, new PCBN has been developed. New PCBN has very fine and homogeneous microstructure to increase the toughness of sintered body that it provides a reliable tool life for heavy interrupted cutting.

The effect of individual gas constituents in a sintering atmosphere is examined to optimize the sintered properties of Iron-Carbon P/M components. The influence of sintered properties is reviewed as a function of hydrogen percentages and dew point in the sintering zone. Microstructures, porosity, pore morphology and dimensional changes are the subject of this review. The effects of CO containing atmospheres are compared against the non CO atmospheres in terms of hardness, carbon control and dimensional changes.

The magnetic inductance of nanocrystalline Fe73Si16B7Nb3Cu1 and an amorphous FeSiB powder sheet has been investigated to identify RFID performance. The powder was mixed with binder and solvent and tape-casted to form films. Results show annealing significantly influenced on the inductance of the material. The surface oxidation of the particles was the main reason for the reduced inductance. The maximum inductance of Fe73Si16B7Nb3Cu1 alloy was about 88μH at 17.4 MHz, about 65% greater compared to the FeSiB alloy. The higher inductance in the nanocrystalline alloy indicates it may be used as a potential replacement of current RFID materials.

W-Cu alloy was very useful material for a heat sink, high electric contact and EDM electrode. Powder injection molding (PIM) is the optimum manufacturing technology to provide W-Cu components with low-cost and high-volume. We used various compositions of tungsten coated copper powders (W-Cu with 10 to 80 wt-% of copper) to manufacture W-Cu components by PIM. The optimum mixing, injection molding, debinding and sintering conditions to provide the high performance W-Cu components were investigated. The thermal and mechanical properties of W-Cu parts by PIM were measured. Finally, we can verify the high performance of W-Cu components by PIM with the tungsten coated copper.

Filling of the tool die directly influences dimensional tolerances and density variation. To minimize the variations in filling, both within different sections of the cavity and from part to part, are of great importance for produce high quality P/M parts. Filling of the tool die is also one of the limiting factors in the productivity in powder pressing. By using aeration filling in combination with bonded powder mixes, both weight scatter and productivity can be improved. In this presentation results are presented showing the benefit of using aeration filling for different types of powders

High strength PM aluminium alloys Al-Zn-Mg-Cu (7075 type) were studied by using commercially available powder blends and the sinter-forging technique for component production. Principal areas of focus include the response to PM processing, micro structural assessment and material properties of Aluminium sinter forged products. Green preforms are successfully sintered to near full density by solid-supersolidus liquid phase sintering. Sinter forging method can produce components with net shape and mechanical characteristics of the material have improved greatly. Properties of this new PM Al-alloy were found to be reproducible in an industrial production environment.

원자력연구소 핫셀의 구조와 오염특성이 조사되었다. SEM 측정결과 핫셀 내부에 부착된 고방사능 분진의 크기는 이었다. 사이클론의 최적 Vortex finder의 길이는 49 mm이고, 모의입자 유입속도는 15m/sec가 적합했다. 이때 의 포집효율은 약 85%였다. 모의 입자 유입속도가 15m/sec보다 빠를 때, 포집효율의 증가율은 크지 않았다. 유입가스의 온도가 증가할 때, 포집효율은 약간 감소했다. Vortex finder의 길이가 증가할수록 사이클론내의 압력강하는 커졌다. Cut size diameter는 Reynolds number의 증가와 함께 감소했다. 측정된 Reynolds number에 근거하면, 사이클론 내부는 난류이고 이 난류는 사이클론 내의 압력강하에 원인이 된다고 사료된다. 는 Re 값의 증가와 함께 감소하고, Re의 값이 커질 때에서 일정한 값에 수렴했다. 즉, 6000-8000의 Re에서 는 약 0.045를 나타냈다.

The treatment of piggery wastes was carried out at pilot scale using a multilayered metal-activated carbon system followed by carbon bed filtration. The physicochemical properties were obtained from treated samples with aqueous solutions containing metallic ions such as Ag+, Cu2+, Na+, K+ and Mn2+, which main obsevations are subjected to inspect surface properties, color removal properties by Uv/Vis and EDX. Multilayered metal-activated carbons were contacted with waste water to investigation of the simultaneous catalytic effect for the COD, BOD, T-N and T-P removal. The removal results for the piggery waste using multilayered metal-activated carbon bed was achieved the satisfactory removal performance under permitted values of Ministry of Environment of Korea. The high efficiency of the multilayered metal-activated carbon bed was determined by the performance of this material for trapping, catalytic effect and adsorption of organic solid particles.

This study investigates the effects of focus on form on the acquisition of the tense-aspect system in English by comparing two different instructional techniques, implicit and explicit focus on form. Furthermore, it examines which class of lexical aspect use is more applicable to each method of instruction. The implicit method is intended to produce the synergy of input flooding and typographical enhancement technique. The explicit method provides learners with pedagogical statements, corrective feedback, and some exemplars which are neither flooded nor visually enhanced. The subjects were Korean junior college students enrolled in two basic English writing classes. One class was assigned to an implicit group and the other to an explicit group. They received instruction for 10 weeks under two different learning conditions and were tested on the target structures. The results showed the overall effectiveness of implicit and explicit focus-on-form instructions on facilitating the two target structures, the simple past and present perfect, and on the lexical aspectual system as well. Although the implicit group made some progress, the gain was not statistically significant. The explicit group, however, made a significant progress in the learning of the present perfect. As for the lexical aspectual system, the implicit instruction somewhat influenced appropriate use of telic verbs, whereas the explicit instruction was more effective in facilitating the appropriate use of atelic verbs. The results indicate the importance of acquisition order and learners’ readiness in the learning of the present perfect.

Schwann cells play an important role in peripheral nerve regeneration. Upon nerve injury, Schwann cells are activated and produce various proinflammatory mediators including IL-6, LIF and MCP-1, which result in the recruitment of macrophages and phagocytosis of myelin debris. However, it is unclear how the nerve injury induces Schwann cell activation. Recently, it was reported that necrotic cells induce immune cell activation via toll-like receptors (TLRs). This suggests that the TLRs expressed on Schwann cells may recognize nerve damage by binding to the endogenous ligands secreted by the damaged nerve, thereby inducing Schwann cell activation. To explore the possibility, we stimulated iSC, a rat Schwann cell line, with damaged neuronal cell extracts (DNCE). The stimulation of iSC with DNCE induced the expression of various inflammatory mediators including IL-6, LIF, MCP-1 and iNOS. Studies on the signaling pathway indicate that NF-xB, p38 and JNK activation are required for the DNCE-induced inflammatory gene expression. Furthermore, treatment of either anti-TLR3 neutralizing antibody or ribonuclease inhibited the DNCE-induced proinflammatory gene expression in iSC. In summary, these results suggest that damaged neuronal cells induce inflammatory Schwann cell activation via TLR3, which might be involved in the Wallerian degeneration after a peripheral nerve injury.

본 연구는 후발진입 기업의 시장진입과정을 탐색하였다. 본 연구에서는 해외시장진입과 국제화의 역동적인 비즈니스 네트워크 모델을 제시한다. 기존의 국제화 과정이론과 비교했을 때 공급자와 소비자 기업들 사이의 비즈니스 관계는 한쪽 측면의 경험학습과 해외시장 몰입에 초점을 두고 있다. 이러한 시각에서 벗어나 본 연구는 양측의 학습과 몰입에 초점을 맞추고 있다. 이는 또한 기업의 비즈니스 관계가 발전될 때 폭넓은 비즈니스 네트워크속에서 수반되어지는 것을 가정한다. 본 연구는 삼성전자의 영국시장 진입에 대한 하나의 심층적인 사례연구를 제공한다. 사례연구는 학습과 몰입의 세 가지 영역: 시장의 지리적인 위치확보, 시장으로 몰입된 조직기능들과 시장에 공급된 제품의 중요성과 제품수를 고려하였다. 그 세 가지 영역의 발전에서 비즈니스 관계의 역할 또한 보여준다. 사례에서는 삼성의 성공적이며 빠른 영국시장진입의 학습과 특히 비즈니스 네트워크 학습의 중요한 역할을 증명하였다. 그리고 점진적인 몰입도의 증가가 나타났다.

Co-Fe-Ni-B-Si-Cr based amorphous strips containing nitrogen were manufactured via melt spinning, and then devitrified by crystallization treatment at the various annealing temperatures of for up to 30 minutes in an inert gas atmosphere. The microstructures were examined by using XRD and TEM and the magnetic properties were measured by using VSM and B-H meter. Among the alloys, the amorphous ribbons of containing 121 ppm of nitrogen showed relatively high saturation magnetization. The alloy ribbons crystallized at showed that the grain size of alloy containing 121 ppm of nitrogen was about f nm, which exhibited paramagnetic behavior. The formation of nano-grain structure was attributed to the finely dispersed Fe4N particles and the solid-solutionized nitrogen atoms in the matrix. Accordingly, it can be concluded that the nano-grain structure of 5nm in size could reduce the core loss within the normally applied magnetic field of 300A/m at 10kHz.

최근에 개정된 중 저준위 방사성폐기물 인도규정에서는 폐기물시설운영자는 처분 전 방사성폐기물이 인도규정에 적합함을 보장하기 위한 계획을 수립하여 운영할 것을 요구하고 있다. 앞으로 건설될 방사성폐기물 처분시설에서 방사성폐기물 인수 시에 충족되어야할 방사성폐기물인수기준이 수립될 것이며, 이 인수기준에는 물리화학적 및 방사선학적 특성규명, 물리화학적인 제한사항, 금지품목, 포장, 인식표, 라벨, 문서요건 등을 규정할 것으로 예상된다. 이들 규정을 준수하기 위하여 방사성폐기물 발생자는 방사성폐기물이 폐기물 인수기준에 만족하는지를 확인하는 폐기물 인증프로그램을 수행하여 방사성폐기물이 그 기준에 만족하는지 확인하여야 하며, 방사성폐기물에 대한 모든 인증서류를 폐기물 처분시설에 제출할 책임이 있다. 본 방사성폐기물 인증프로그램계획은 한국원자력연구소에서 발생되는 방사성폐기물의 인증프로그램에 대한 예비프로그램으로서 개발된 것이며 앞으로 처분장의 인수요건이 구체적으로 확립될 때까지 수정 보완되어야 한다.

원자력을 이용하는 시설 및 그와 관련한 연구개발실험실로부터 각종 화학폐수가 다량으로 발생되고 있으며 이들 폐수를 화학폐수 전용처리시설로 처리하고 있으나 최종 건조 케이크내에 함유된 우라늄의 농도가 규제면제농도인 10 Bq/g을 약간 초과하므로서 방사성폐기물로 분류하여 별도로 저장하고 있다. 화학폐수 처리후 침전된 슬러지내의 우라늄 농도를 분석한 결과 우라늄이 용액상이 아닌 침전물상에 존재함을 알았으며, 이들 우라늄을 침전물로부터 용액상으로 용해하기 위하여 강질산으로 용해시켰다. 그 결과 대부분의 우라늄이 슬러지의 침전물로부터 용액상으로 용출되었으며, 용해후 얻어진 슬러지 산용해액에 대해 IRN-77과 비드형으로 새로 제조한 다이포실 수지를 실 폐액처리에 적용하기 위한 흡착실험을 수행하였다. IRN-77과 다이포실 비드를 단독, 혼합 또는 단계적으로 사용한 결과, 80%이상의 우라늄 흡착효율을 얻기 위해서는 산용해액과 동등량 또는 그 이상의 다량의 수지가 소요되었다. 한편 침전 슬러지를 압착하여 부피가 더욱 축소된 탈수케이크를 산용해한 결과, 탈수케이크 대 질산의 비율이 3:2에서 우라늄의 함량을 최대 11 mg/L을 얻었으며 슬러지 용해시보다 적은 양으로 산용해가 가능하였다. 탈수 케이크 산용해액의 방사능 농도는 6.97E-01 Bq/ml 로서 기존의 자연증발처리시설에서 처리가 가능한 수준이었으며, 건조케이크의 비방사능은 11.2 Bq/g로서 최종 폐기물로 발생될 폐증발천의 비방사능이 4.3 Bq/g으로 평가되어 우라늄 동위원소의 규제면제치인 10 Bq/g 미만이므로 자체처분이 가능한 수준이었다. 결론적으로 화학폐수를 처리한 후 부피가 최소화된 탈수케이크에서 우라늄을 산용해시키고 최종 산용해액은 기존의 자연증발시설로 증발처리하면 방사성 건조케이크의 발생 없이 또한 자연증발천도 자체처분이 가능한 최적의 방안을 도출하였다.
