Thermal oxidation has significant potential for use in synthesizing metal-oxide nanostructures from metallic materials. However, this method has limited applicability to the synthesis of multi-morphology NiO from Ni foil. Techniques consisting of mechanical and chemical approaches were used to pre-treat the Ni foil (prior to oxidation) to promote the formation of nanowires and nanoplates on the NiO layer. These morphologies were realized on the Ni foils scratched by sand paper and a knife, respectively, and subsequently heat-treated at $500^{\circ}C$ for 24 h. Small nanowires (diameter: <10 nm) formed on the Ni foil treated by absolute $HNO_3$ and then oxidized at $500^{\circ}C$ for 24 h. The formation of various morphologies (on the pre-treated Ni foil), which differ from that formed in the case of pristine Ni foil after oxidation, may be attributed to the surface melting phenomenon that occurs during the nucleation process.

Electroforming is a process that employs technology similar to that used for electroplating but which is used for manufacturing metallic articles, rather than as a means of producing surface coatings. Electroforming provides a cost-effective means of producing alloys and fully dense nanocrystalline metals as foils, sheets and complex shapes. It was able to make Fe-Ni foil with $5{\mu}m$ thickness by electroforming. Electroformed Fe-Ni alloy was nanocrystalline and the yield strength was in the range $2000{\sim}2800\;MPa$. The magnetic permeability at high frequency of electroformed Fe-Ni foil was higher than that of thicker foils.

Al-Ni nano-foil은 상온에서 외부 방전 및 촉발에 따라 급속한 자기 발열 반응이 일어나는 특성을 보이며, 외부 촉발을 통해 상온에서 온도를 높일 수 없는 접합이나 마이크로 수준의 미세 접합이 가능한 접합재료로서 현재 상당한 기대가치를 갖고 있는 재료이다. 코팅기술로서 sputtering법을 이용하여 Al-Ni 다층막의 nano-foil를 제조하여 Al-Ni 혼합 비율 및 Bi-layer 수에 따른 self-propagating reaction에 대해 조사하였다.

The small-scale electroplating device was designed and fabricated for Ni-63 sealed source (foil type) with a high specific activity needed for production of betavoltaic battery. The condition of Ni electroplating was optimized by using fabricated electroplating device to establish a Ni-63 electroplating condition on the Ni foil. The results showed that the optimum surface morphology and thickness of Ni deposit was obtained for 1,758 seconds at a current density of $15mA{\cdot}cm^{-2}$ with 0.5% tween 20. Radioisotope Ni-63 electroplating was implemented under established condition. The radioactivity of Ni-63 sealed source was calculated to $28mCi{\cdot}cm^{-2}$, and the thickness of Ni-63 deposit was about $2.4{\mu}m$.

Ni/Ni-aluminide/Ti/Ti-aluminide laminate composite, considered as a functionally gradient material, was manufactured by thin foil hot press technique. Thick intermetallic layers of NiAl and $TiAl_3$ were formed by a self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) reaction, and thin continuous taters of $Ni_3Al$ and TiAl were formed by a solid-state diffusion. Fracture resistance with loading along the crack arrester direction is higher than crack divider direction due to the interruption of crack growth in metal layers. The $Ni_3Al$ and NiAl intermetallic layer showed cleavage and intergranular fracture behavior, respectively, while the fracture mode of $TiAl_3$ layer was found to be an intragranular cleavage. The debonding between metal and intermetallic layer and the pores were observed in the Ni/Ni-aluminide layers, resulting in the lower fracture resistance. With the results of acoustic emission (AE) source characterization the real time of failure and the effect of AE to crack growth could be monitored.

전주는 표면코팅을 목적으로 하기보다 금속제품을 제조하기 위해 사용하는, 도금법과 유사한 기술이다. 다양한 조성의 Fe-Ni 합금들을 전주성형하여 극박형상으로 제조하였다. 2원계 Fe-Ni 합금의 결정립 크기는 10 nm 정도였으며 P 첨가에 의해 결정립 크기를 더욱 미세하게 할 수 있다. 전주한 2원계 Fe-Ni 합금들의 비저항은 전형적인 나노결정질 소재의 특성을 나타낸다.

A betavoltaic battery was prepared using radioactive $^{63}Ni$ attached to a three-dimensional single trenched P-N absorber. The optimum thickness of a $^{63}Ni$ layer was determined to be approximately $2{\mu}m$, considering the minimum self-shielding effect of beta particles. Electroplating of radioactive $^{63}Ni$ on a nickel (Ni) foil was carried out at a current density of $20mA/cm^2$. The difference of the short-circuit currents ($I_{sc}$) between the pre- and post-deposition of $^{63}Ni$ (16.65 MBq) on the P-N junction was 5.03 nA, as obtained from the I-V characteristics. An improved design with a sandwich structure was provided for enhancing performance.

In this study, an experimental facility has been built to measure the cooling performance of a piezoelectric fan. The facility is composed of a heat source made of $50{\mu}m$ Ni-Cr foil, a piezoelectric fan and a rotary fan for cooling the heat source. For two cases where the foil is vertical or horizontal, the surface temperature on the foil has been measured by an IR camera with and without cooling and the cooling performance of both fans has been analyzed. With cooling by both fans, the rotary fan lowers the surface temperature of the foil as a whole, while the piezoelectric fan lowers the surface temperature at the center of the foil locally. It is also found that the cooling effectiveness of the piezoelectric fan is higher on the horizontal foil than on the vertical foil because the natural convection interferes with the jet from the piezoelectric fan.
