The phase separation in ferrite phase of duplex stainless steel is the primary cause of thermal aging embrittlement of the LWR primary pressure boundary components. In this study the phase separation of simulated duplex stainless steel was detected by Mossbauer spectroscopy and magnetic property analysis by VSM(Vibrating Specimen Magnetometer). The simulated duplex stainless steels, Fe-Cr binary, Fe-Cr-Ni ternary, and Fe-Cr-Ni-Si quarternary allots, were aged at 370 and 40$0^{\circ}C$ up to 5,340 hours. It was observed from Mossbauer spectra analysis that internal magnetic field increases with aging time and from VSM that the specific saturation magnetization and Curie temperature increase with aging time. These result are indicative that phase separation into Fe-rich region and Cr-rich region is caused by thermal aging in the temperature range of 370~40$0^{\circ}C$ In cases of specimens containing Ni, the increase of specific saturation magnetization is much higher. This implies that Ni seems to promote Fe-Cr interdiffusion, which accelerates the phase separation into Fe-rich $\alpha$ phase and Cr-rich $\alpha$' phase.

열증착법을 이용하여 copper(II) phthalocyane (CuPc)의 박막을 제작하였다. 기판의 예열 온도를 달리하여 제작된 CuPc의 박막은 ${\alpha}-phase$와 ${\beta}-phase$로 구분할 수 있으며 phase에 따른 결정 구조를 관찰하기 위해 x-ray diffraction을 사용하고 peak의 위치를 관찰하였다. 또한 SEM, UV visible absorption spectra의 변화를 통해 온도에 따라 상전이가 이행해 가는 모습을 구체적으로 관측하였다. 이러한 결정 구조의 변화는 CuPc 박막의 전기전도 특성에 영향을 달리하여 유기발광 소자에 응용이 가능할 것으로 예상된다.

[ $Mg_{68}Zn_{28}Y_4$ ] 합금의 응고 조직은 primary solidification phase, primary solidification phase로부터 성장된 ${\alpha}-Mg$ dendrite, 그리고 응고 말기에 형성된 eutectic structure의 세 가지형태 조직으로 구성되어져 있다. Primary solidification phase에는 매우 큰 정도의 phason strain이 존재하고 있으며, $a=27.2{\AA}\;and\;{\alpha}=63.43^{\circ}$의 격자상수를 갖는 1/1 rhombohedral approximant가 존재한다. 이와 같은 rhombohedral approximant의 구조는 six dimensional face centered hyper-cubic lattice에 phason strain을 도입함에 의해 얻어질 수 있다. Decagonal phase는 icosahedral phase로부터 방위 관계를 가지며 형성되며, $Mg_4Zn_7$는 decagonal phase로부터 방위관계를 가지며 성장한다. 이는 세 상간에 구조적 유사성이 존재하고 있음을 의미하며, 응고시 용질원자의 분배에 의해 이들 세 상이 순서대로 형성되어진다.

The effect of heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties of cast Ti-6%Al-4%V alloy was investigated. Heat treatment of cast Ti-6Al-4V alloy was conducted by solution treatment at $950^{\circ}C$ for 30 min; this was followed by water quenching and then aging at $550^{\circ}C$ for 1 to 1440 min. The highest hardness of the heat-treated specimens was obtained by solution treatment and subsequent aging for 5 min due to precipitates of fine ${\alpha}$ that formed from retained ${\beta}$ phase. The tensile strength of this alloy increased without dramatic decrease of the ductility due to microstructural refinement resulting from the decomposition of ${\alpha}^{\prime}$ martensite into fine ${\alpha}$ and ${\beta}$ phases, and also due to the fine ${\alpha}$ phase formed from the retained ${\beta}$ phase by aging treatment for 5 min. In addition, this strengthening might be caused by the transformation induced plasticity (TRIP) effect, which is a strain-induced martensite transformation from the retained ${\beta}$ phase during deformation, and which occurs even after aging treatment at $550^{\circ}C$ for 5 min.

Reactive diffusion couples between Fe-5.8at.%Si and (Si wafer, $FeSi_2$, or FeSi alloy) were heat-treated at 1423k. The only layer of $Fe_3Si$ phase was formed in each diffusion couple. The width of $Fe_3Si$ layer was proportional to square root of diffusion time in each kind of diffusion couple. Growth rate of $Fe_3Si$ layer was relied on the concentration of Si in the supplied source of Si atoms. Interdiffusion coefficient of $Fe_3Si$ has been determined from the derived relation between growth rate constant and interdiffusion coefficient in this work. It was shown that the behavior of Kirkendall's void in $Fe_3Si$ layer was not affected by the kind of Si source. But solid solution $\alpha$ was formed in the diffusion couple between Fe-5.8 at.%Si and $Fe_3Si$ alloy. Kirkendall's voids in diffusional $\alpha$ were neglectively smaller than the case of $Fe_3Si$ phase growth.

2, 5, 10 mol% YAG(yttrium aluminum garnet) 분말을 액상 소결조제로 $\alpha$상 탄화규소 분말에 첨가한 후 $1850^{\circ}C$에서 소결시간을 달리하여 소결체를 제조한 다음, 소결시 일어나는 미세구조 변화를 첨가된 액상량과 소결시간의 변화에 대하여 고찰하였다. 각 조성중 2시간 소결한 시편에서 가장 높은 밀도를 나타냈으며, 소결시간이 길수록 액상의 기화로 인하여 중량감소량이 점차 증가하였다. 또한 첨가된 YAG 액상량이 증가할 수록 상대밀도(apparent density)와 중량감소량은 증가하였으나 입성장속도는 감소하였다. 액상량이 적은 시편에서는 소결시간이 길수록 일부 6H상의 탄화규소 입자가 4H상 탄화규소 입자로 상전이 되었으며, 이로 인하여 막대상 입자들이 일부 존재하였다.

The aim of this work is to show the way of manufacturing the SiC mechanical seal at the low temperature of 130$0^{\circ}C$ using clay and frit as source of secondary phase. $\alpha$-SiC and $\beta$-SiC powder which showed different distribution of particle were used as starting materials, i.e. average particle size of $\alpha$-SiC was larger than that of $\beta$-SiC. The mechanical and tribological properties of two groups of specimen, i.e. one contained mainly larger $\alpha$-SiC powder and the other mainly fine particle $\beta$-SiC, were measured. The specimen consisted of larger $\alpha$-SiC exhibited lower density flexural strength and wear resistance is comparison with these of sample containning mainly $\beta$-SiC . This difference could be originated from the dependence of capillary force on the particle size. For the larger SiC particle, the liquid phase may not fill the whole pores during sintering, due to low capillary force, whereas the liquid phase can infiltrate into the small ores surrounded small $\beta$-SiC particle. Thus, the course of high flexural strength and high wear resistance of specimen prepared using small particles can be explaced from the easy infiltration of liquid phase.

Experimental Ti-13%Zr and Ti-13%Zr-5%Cu alloys were made in an argon-arc melting furnace. The grade 2 CP Ti was used to control. The alloys were cast into phosphate bonded $SiO_2$ investment molds using an argon-arc casting machine, and The hardness and microstructures of the castings were investigated in order to reveal their possible use for new dental casting materials and to collect useful data for alloy design. The hardness of the Ti-13%Zr-5%Cu alloy(379Hv) became higher than that of Ti-13%Zr(317Hv) alloy, and the hardness of this alloys became higher than that of CP Ti(247Hv). Increasing in the hardness of the Ti-13%Zr-5%Cu alloy was considered to be solid solution hardening as the Ti-Zr system shows a completely solid solution for both high temperature $\beta$phase and low temperature $\alpha$ phase and also the inclusion of the eutectoid structure($\alpha Ti+Ti_{2}Cu$). No martensitic structures are observed in the specimen made of CP Ti, but Ti-13%Zr and Ti-13%Zr-5%Cu alloys show a kind of martensitic structure. Ti-13%Zr-5%Cu shows the finest microstructure. From these results, it was concluded that new alloys for dental casting materials should be designed as Ti-Zr-Cu based alloys.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of Be addition on the microstructure and mechanical properties of as-cast and homogenization treated Al-Li-(Be)alloys. The ductility of as-cast Al-Li alloy was increased by the addition of Be and the fracture morphology was changed from brittle to ductile mode. Also, hardness and strength have been decreased by homogenization treatment. The morphology of eutectic structure which consists of ${\alpha}(Al)$ and ${\alpha}(Be)$ was changed from lammellae to spherical type by homogenization treatment. The shape of ${\alpha}(Be)$ phase has been revealed as hollow type by TEM observation. It consists of outer surfaces with well defined crystal facets and the core filled with ${\alpha}(Al)$. The microstructure of as-cast Al-Li-Be alloys showed coarse ${\delta}'$, fine ${\delta}'$, and coarse ${\delta}$ phases. The coarse and fine ${\delta}'$ phases were formed at Be-rich phase /matrix interfaces and in matrix, respectively. By homogenization treatment, the ${\delta}$ phase in Al-Li and Al-Li-Be alloys dissolved and the size of ${\delta}$ phase in Al-Li-Be alloys was finer than that of Al-Li alloy.

Both commercially pure titanium and Ti-6Al-4V alloy have been widely used as biomaterials because of their excellent biocompatibility, corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. However, in recent years, vanadium has been found to cause cytotoxic effects and adverse tissue reactions, while aluminium has been associated with potential neurological disorders. A newly designed ${\alpha}+{\beta}$ type Ti alloy, Ti-10Ta-10Nb alloy showed superior properties to CP Ti and Ti-6Al-4V alloy in the point of biomaterial, and elucidated the future uses as a biomaterial. Microstructural changes of Ti-10Ta-10Nb alloy after hot-rolling, warm-rolling, solution and aging treatment were investigated. According to TEM results, the microstructures after solution treatment were composed of mostly ${\alpha}$ phase with a trace of ${\beta}$ phase due to adding ${\beta}$-phase stabilizer tantalum and niobium. The microstructures after warm-rolling is coarse and elongated ${\alpha}$ phase and hot rolling resulted in very fine ${\alpha}$ widmanst$\ddot{a}$tten. The highest value of hardness was obtained by aging treatment at $400^{\circ}C$ for 20hr in which microstructure consisted of very fine ${\alpha}$ phase in ${\beta}$ matrix.
