Antioxidation mechanism of Al metal powders on $Al_2O_3-C$ refractory was investigated in temperature range from 800 to $1400^{\circ}C$. The addition of 5 wt% Al metal powders suppressed the oxidation of carbon in $Al_2O_3$-C sample. The carbons were distributed uniformly on the surface and the interface of the $Al_2O_3$-C-Al. Reaction products of $Al_4C_3$ and AIN were found with a composition of Al-C at temperatures between 800 and $1200^{\circ}C$ and transformed to $Al_2O_3$ above $1400^{\circ}C$. Cavity structures related to the to the formation of $Al_4C_3$ were observed for the AI-C after heating at $1000^{\circ}C$ ofr 1 hour. Thermodynamic mechanism was considered to discuss the formation $Al_4C_3$, AlN and their transformation to $Al_2O_3$, which leads to the effect of oxidation resistance.

The microstructural evolution and crystalline phases of this infiltration of Ti+Al liquids in TiC, SiC, TiC+C, and SiC+C preforms have been investigated. As the Ti and Al mixing ratio in Ti+Al infiltrated liquid changes, the newly formed reaction products, which were reacted from the Ti+Al liquid with preforms, consisted of three major phases as Ti3AlC, Al2Ti4C2 or Al4C3. The TiC grain shape was changed to spheroid, when Ti3AlC was formed. In case of Al2Ti4C2 formation, the platelet grain was formed from the original TiC grain. When Al4C3 was formed, nodular or intergranular fine-grained Al4C3 was formed around the TiC grain, while the original TiC grain shape was not changed.

Formation of$B_4C/Al$composite by pressureless infiltration was investigated by lowering wetting angle via surface modification of $B_4C$powder with alumina precursor. Surface modification was confirmed by zeta potential analysis. The$B_4C/Al$composite was prepared by placing an Al 6061 disk on the$B_4C$preform and heating at $1030{\circ}C$/20 min under a flowing argon, but no infiltration took place for a bare $B_4C$ preform even at$1250{\circ}C$/30 min. Analysis of XRD and SEM showed the $Al_3BC$phase besides$B_4C$and Al, but no trace of deteriorative$A1_4C_3$.

3CaO.3Al2O3.CaSO4(C4A3)clinker was prepared by solid state reaction and then its hydration property was investigated. C4A3 clinker was fired at various temperatures in the range of 700~135$0^{\circ}C$. The hydration of it was studied by XRD, DSC, Solid-state 27Al MAS NMR and SEM. According to the results, the Ca4A3 clinker was produced by reacting calcium aluminates with CaSO4 and Al2O3 and C4A3 was formed as a main phase after calcining at 120$0^{\circ}C$. The hydration products were mainly calcium monosulfoaluminate hydrate and Al(OH)3, and they were produced after 2hrs of hydration. However the hydration rate was about 74% at 3days.

Tetrafluoromethane($CF_4$) have been widely used as etching and chemical vapor deposition gases for semiconductor manufacturing processes. $CF_4$ decomposition efficiency using microwave system was carried out as a function of the microwave power, the reaction temperature, and the quantity of $Al_2O_3$ addition. High reaction temperature and addition of $Al_2O_3$ increased the $CF_4$ removal efficiencies and the $CO_2/CF_4$ ratio. When the SA30 (SiC+30wt%$Al_2O_3$) and SA50 (SiC+50wt%$Al_2O_3$) were used, complete $CF_4$ removal was achieved at $1000^{\circ}C$. The $CF_4$ was reacted with $Al_2O_3$ and by-products such as $CO_2/CF_4$ and $AlF_3$ were produced. Significant amount of by-product such as $AlF_3$ was identified by X-ray powder diffraction analysis. It also showed that the ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ was transformed to ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ after microwave thermal reaction.

$Al_2O_3/SiC$ Hybrid-Composite has been fabricated by conventional powder process. The addition of $\alpha-Al_2O_3$ as seed particles in the transformation of $\gamma-Al_2O_3 to $\alpha-Al_2O_3$ provided a homogeneity of the microstructure, resulting in increase of mechanical properties. The grain growth of $Al_2O_3$ are significantly surpressed by the addition of nano-sized. SiC particles, increasing in fracture strength. The addition of SiC plates to $Al_2O_3$ nano-composite decreased the fracture strength, but increased the fracture toughness. Coated SiC plates with nitrides such as BN and /SiC$Si_3N_4$ enhanced fracture toughness much more than uncoated SiC plates by inducing crack deflection.

Influences of aluminum carbide ($Al_4C_3$) addition on microstructure and damping capacity of Mg-3%Al casting alloy have been investigated based on experimental results of optical micrography, scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive spectrometry analysis and damping capacity measurement at RT. The addition of $Al_4C_3$ particles results in an efficient grain refinement. The damping capacity shows an increasing tendency with an increase in $Al_4C_3$ content. The damping value associated with $Al_4C_3$ particles is linearly dependent on the volume fraction of $Al_4C_3$ particles to the 2/3 power, $f_{2/3}$, which corresponds to the total surface area of the particles.

Dispersed type Al2O3-SiC composite powders were synthesized from Al-isopropoxide (Al(i-OC3H7)3) and Si(OC2H5)4 precursors by hydrolysis of mixed alkoxides and carbothermal reaction method. The characteristics of the synthesized (dispersed type) Al2O3-SiC composite powders were investigated using XRD, SEM, TEM, BET and particle size analyzer. Carbothermal reaction to produce Al2O3-SiC composite was completed in 10h at 135$0^{\circ}C$ on 3~4㎤/s (0.21~0.28cm/s) of H2 flow rate and about 1/1 of carbon/oxides(=SiO2＋Al2O3) molar ratio. The synthesized powders were observed to have the mean particle size range of 0.4~1.26${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and showed finer particle size with increasing SiC content.

CH4/CO2 dry reforming was carried out to make syn gas on the Ni/Al2O3 catalysts calcined at different temperatures. The Ni/Al2O3 (850 $^{\circ}C)$ catalyst gave good activity and stability w hereas the Ni/Al2O3 $(450^{\circ}C)$ catalyst showed lower activity and stability. The NiO/Al2O3 catalyst calcined at $850^{\circ}C$ for 16 h (Ni/Al2O3 $(850^{\circ}C))$ formed the spinel structure of nickel aluminate, which was confirmed by TPR. The carbon formation rate on the Ni/Al2O3 $(850^{\circ}C)$ catalyst was very low till 20 h, and then steeply increased with reaction time without decreasing the activity for CH4 reforming. The Ni/Al2O3 $(450^{\circ}C)$ catalyst showed high carbon formation rate at the initial reaction time and then, the rate nearly stopped with continuous decreasing the activity for CH4 reforming. Even though the amount of carbon deposition on the Ni/Al2O3 $(850^{\circ}C)$ catalyst was higher than that on the Ni/Al2O3 $(450^{\circ}C)$ catalyst, the activity for CH4ing was also high, which could be attributed to the different type of the carbon formed on the catalyst surface.

AlSiCa powders were prepared from the domestic Hadong Kaolin ($Al_2O_3{\cdot}2SiO_2{\cdot}2H_2O$). As a result of the reaction of Hadong Kaolin and carbon powder at reducing atmosphere, $Al_2O_3{\cdot}SiC$ composite started to form at $1300^{\circ}C$ and completed at $1400^{\circ}C$. The optimum amount of carbon was 1:4 in mole ratio. It was found that only bright-green $\beta-SiC$ phase forms when the mixture was packed without carbon powder in alumina crucible.
