Item The 1st International Joint Mini-Symposium on Advanced Coatings between Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis and Changwon National University: Preface(2014) Zhang, Jing; Jung, Yeon-GilThe 1st international joint mini-symposium on advanced coatings between Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) and Changwon National University (CNU) was held on March 18-20, 2014 in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. Research papers presented in the symposium are included in this proceeding. The symposium covered recent development in advanced coatings and related functional materials. The symposium offered the students and researchers from both universities a valuable opportunity to share a wide spectrum of new knowledge of advanced coatings and related functional materials. The research topics presented in the symposium included thermal barrier coatings, bio-related coatings, nano-materials and materials for energy conversion. The symposium enabled face-to-face discussions and developed genuine friendship, which promoted international collaboration and exchange program for researcher as well as students to carry out science work together.

To increase the fracture strength at high temperature, a large amount of inorganic binder should be converted into glass phase and the generated glass phase has to be homogeneously coated on the surface of starting particles. In this work, two types of process were employed to investigate the coating and glassification efficiencies of inorganic precursor. In the first process (process I), the green body consisting of starting powder and organic binder was dipped in the inorganic precursor solution. In the second process (process II), the starting powder was coated by inorganic precursor, and then the organic binder was used to form the green body. The mold sample prepared using process II showed the higher strength value than that using process I, owing to the inclement effect on the glassfication efficiency by the loss of inorganic precursor in process I. The prepared real mold was perfectly produced and the casted product showed a clean surface without defects such as dross, nonmetallic inclusions, and crack. Consequently, the new inorganic binder system could be applied for preparing the mold for the thin-wall casting having high mechanical properties.
