We have studied the effect of C/Ti atomic ratio of TiCx (x=0.5, 0.75 and 1.0) raw powder on the properties of the Ti-Mo-WTiC sintered hard alloy. The decrease of C/Ti atomic ratio accelerated the densification in the sintering process. The hardness was remarkably improved up to 1350HV with decreasing the C/Ti atomic ratio because of increase of TiCx phase volume content and its fine dispersion. From the results of electro-chemical tests in acid and 3% NaCl solutions, it was obvious that every alloy had excellent corrosion resistance, which meant about 200 times better than that of WC-Co cemented carbide.

Conatact barrier metal용 selective W CVD 기술에서 SiH4//WF6(=R)유량비가 W막의 비저항, contact resistance, 접합주설전류 등의 전기적 특성에 미치는 영향을 β-W 의 생성에 촛점을 맞추어 조사하였다. R의 증가에 따라 W의 비저항이 증가하는데, 그 주원인은 α-W로 부터 β-W 로의 상변태에 있다. SiH4환원에 의한 CVD W에서 생성되는 β-W 는 산소에 의해서가 아니라 막내에 유입된 Si에 의하여 안정화된다. Si기탄상에 W를 증착할 때에는 R값이 클 경우에 β-W 가 생성되지만, TiN 기판상에 W를 증착할 때에는 R값이 큰 경우에도 β-W 가 생성되지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 R이 증가함에 따라 접합누설전류가 증가하는데, 이것은 W-Si계면에 대한 수직방향으로의 Si의 소모뿐만 아니라 수평방향으로의 Si의 소모에도 그 원인이 있는 것으로 보인다.

We present new BVRI light curves of UY UMa with no O’Connell effect and a flat bottom secondary eclipse. Light curve synthesis with the Wilson-Devinney code gives a new solution, which is quite different from the previous study: UY UMa is an A-subtype over-contact binary with a small mass ratio of q = 0.21, a high inclination of 81˚.4, a small temperature difference of ΔT = 18˚, a large fill-out factor of f = 0.61, and a third light of approximately 10% of the total systemic light. The absolute dimensions were newly determined. Seventeen new times of minimum light have been calculated from our observations. The period study indicates that the orbital period has intricately varied in a secular period increase in which two cyclical terms with periods of 12y.0 and 46y.3 are superposed. The secular period increase was interpreted to be due to a conservative mass transfer of 2.68 × 10–8 M⊙/yr from the less massive to the more massive star. The cyclical components are discussed in terms of double-light time contributions from two additional bound stars. The statistical relations of Yang & Qian (2015) among the physical parameters of 45 deep, low mass ratio contact binaries were revisited by using the physical parameters of UY UMa and 25 Kepler contact binaries provided by Şenavci et al. (2016).

New multiband BVRI light curves of NSVS 1461538 were obtained as a byproduct during the photometric observations of our program star PV Cas for three years from 2011 to 2013. The light curves indicate characteristics of a typical W-subtype W UMa eclipsing system, displaying a flat bottom at primary eclipse and the O’Connell effect, rather than those of an Algol/ b Lyrae eclipsing variable classified by the northern sky variability survey (NSVS). A total of 35 times of minimum lights were determined from our observations (20 timings) and the SuperWASP measurements (15 ones). A period study with all the timings shows that the orbital period may vary in a sinusoidal manner with a period of about 5.6 yr and a small semiamplitude of about 0.008 day. The cyclical period variation can be interpreted as a light-time effect due to a tertiary body with a minimum mass of 0.71 M⊙. Simultaneous analysis of the multiband light curves using the 2003 version of the Wilson- Devinney binary model shows that NSVS 1461538 is a genuine W-subtype W UMa contact binary with the hotter primary component being less massive and the system shows a low mass ratio of q(mc/mh)=3.51, a high orbital inclination of 88.7°, a moderate fill-out factor of 30 %, and a temperature difference of ΔT=412 K. The O’Connell effect can be similarly explained by cool spots on either the hotter primary star or the cool secondary star. A small third-light corresponding to about 5 % and 2 % of the total systemic light in the B and V bandpasses, respectively, supports the third-body hypothesis proposed by the period study. Preliminary absolute dimensions of the system were derived and used to look into its evolutionary status with other W UMa binaries in the mass-radius and mass-luminosity diagrams. A possible evolution scenario of the system was also discussed in the context of the mass vs mass ratio diagram.

본 연구에서는 콘크리트 구조물의 강도 향상을 위하여 혼입하고 있는 메타카올린의 내구성능 향상 효과를 규명하기 위하여 염화물이온 확산계수 및 단열온도상승량을 측정하였다. 그 결과, 메타카올린의 혼입으로 인하여 염화물이온 확산계수가 작아짐이 확인되었으며 플라이 애쉬의 첨가를 통하여 유동성의 저하를 억제할 수 있었다. 따라서 염분침투저항성을 확보하면서 물결합재비를 크게 하는 것이 가능하므로 메타카올린의 혼입으로 발생되는 단열온도상승량을 억제할 수 있어 콘크리트의 내구성능이 향상될 수 있음을 확인하였다.
