This study deals with sintering and corrosive behavior of sintered zircons mixed with 5wt% of clay $Cr_2O_3$ $CrO_3-MgO$ aqueous solution and $CrO_3-Mg(OH)_2$ aqueous solution. Measurements were conducted by firing specimens at 135$0^{\circ}C$ 145$0^{\circ}C$ and 155$0^{\circ}C$ 1$650^{\circ}C$ for 3hrs in oxidized and reduced atmospheric conditions. Following results were obtained. 1. Sintered zircon with 5 wt% clay showed that highest compressive strength and the lowest apparent porosity and the other showed less positive result than above specimen in order of zircon with $CrO_3-MgO$ aqueous solution $CrO_3-Mg(OH)_2$ aqueous solution and $Cr_2O_3$. 2. The more firing temperature increased the more its strength improved and porosity decreased and specimen which was fired over 155$0^{\circ}C$ and in reduced atmospheric condition showed better results. 3. Zircon with additives which was fired over 155$0^{\circ}C$ showed the evidence of thermal dissociation but it was not rebonded completely during cooling. 4. Zircon with $CrO_3-MgO$ aqueous solution and $CrO_3-Mg(OH)_2$ aqueous solutiion showed more corrosive resistance than zircon itself and zircon-clay system.

Cr2O3 doped Pb(Zr0.525 Ti0.475)O3 piezoelectric ceramics were prepared from reagent grade oxide mixture, PbO, ZrO2, TiO2 and Cr2O3. Piezoelectric and aging properties of specimens were measured for various additions of Cr2O3. Generally, it has been known that aging rate decreased with Cr2O3 addition by stabilizing the domain wall. But hysteresis loops showed that the domain destabilization was occurred at high electric field (larger than 10KV/cm). In smaller additions of Cr2O3 (0-0.2mol%), aging rate increased and microcracks were created with increasing poling filed due to increasing internal stress. In larger additions of Cr2O3(0.4∼0.6mol%), aging rate decreased with increasing poling field.

The oxidation behaviors of Y-Cr bilayer deposited on ferritic steel by magnetron-sputtering for application of the Fe-Cr alloys as interconnectors of planar-type solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) were studied. After oxidation at $800^{\circ}C$ for 40 hours, the major phase of $Y_2$$O_3$and the minor phase of $YCrO_3$, $Mn_{1.5}$ $Cr_{1.5}$ $O_4$and Cr$_2$SiO$_4$were formed in the Y/Cr bilayered samples, while the major phase of Cr$_2$O$_3$and the minor phase of $Y_2$$O_3$were formed as the major phase in the Cr/Y bilayered samples. The Log(ASR/T) that expresses electric resistance of the Y/Cr coated specimen with nonconducting $_Y2$$O_3$oxide showed high value of -2.80 Ω$\textrm{cm}^2$$K^{-1}$ / and that of the Cr/Y coated specimen with conducting $Cr_2$$O_3$oxide appeared to be -4.11 Ω$\textrm{cm}^2$$^{K}$ . The electric resistance of the Y/Cr coated specimen was largely increased due to the formation of high resistance oxide scales. However, the Cr/Y coated specimen did not show any increase in the electric resistance and had the long-term stability of oxidation because there was no formation of the secondary phases with low conductivity.

CrN 코팅막은 고온에서 치밀한 Cr2O3 확산방지막을 형성함으로 $800^{\circ}C$까지 기계적성질을 유지할 수 있다. 본 실험에서는 Ar, N2, 그리고 $O_2$ 가스 분위기에서 AIP(Arc Ion Plating) 기법에 의해 다양한 조성의 Cr-O-N 박막을 Si(200)과 AISI 304 기판 위에 증착되었다. Cr-O-N 코팅막은 47.4at% 미만의 산소함량을 포함 할 때까지 B1구조를 유지하였고 코팅막 내 산소함량 24.6at%에서는 강한 XRD peak intensification을 나타내었다. 47.4at%에서는 결정상을 전혀 찾아볼 수 없는 전이구조를 나타내었고, 그 이상의 산소함량에서는 Cr22O3 결정상을 나타내었다. Cr-O(17at%)-N 조성의 코팅막에서는 (200)배향의 Grain 크기 증가 및 압축잔류응력이 증가하였으나, 그 이상의 산소함량에서는 점차 감소하였다. Cr-O(24.6at%)-N 조성의 코팅막이 가장 높은 경도를 나타내었고, 산소함량이 증가할수록 점차 향상된 마찰특성을 보였다.

Glass films of $SiO_2-TiO_2-M_xO_y$ (M = Co, Cr or Cu) have been prepared on soda-lime-silica slide glasses by the chemical solution method using a spin-coating technique. Commercially available tetraethyl orthosilicate, titanium trichloride, and cobalt-, chromium- and copper-nitrates were used as starting materials. No crystalline segregations of $Co_3O_4$, $Cr_2O_3$ and CuO were observed by X-ray diffraction ${\theta}-2{\theta}$ scans. From the optical transmission analysis, cobalt existed as $ Co^{2+}$ in tetrahedral coordination, chromium as $Cr^{6+}$ in tetrahedral symmetry and copper as $Cu^{2+}$ in octahedral coordination. Films with a crack-free and no texture exhibited homogeneous interfaces between the films and the substrates along the cross-section.

La0.8Ca0.2Cr0.98O3 powder was prepared using the modified Pechini process. Various crystalline phases formed during thermal decomposition were investigated. (La,Ca)CrO4 phase, first formed from the precursor, was transformed to (La,Ca)CrO3 and CaCrO4 above 80$0^{\circ}C$, which remained up to 110$0^{\circ}C$. However, only (La,Ca)CrO3 phase consisting of orthorhombic and intermediate rhombohedral polymorphs was observed after sintering at 125$0^{\circ}C$. The specimens sintered at 140$0^{\circ}C$ exhibited 98% of relative density and rather wide grain size distribution with average grain size of 3-4 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Densification and grain growth of the specimens observed above 125$0^{\circ}C$ were presumably attributed to liquid phase sintering resulted from melting of Ca3(CrO4)2 phase.

In aqueous acid solution ${[Cr(CN)_6]}^{3-}$ aquates via a series of stepwise stereospecific reactions to give ${[Cr{(H_2O)}_6]}^{3+}$as the final product.Some of the intermediate cyanoaquo complexes in the sequence have been isolated.These complexes aquate by both acid independent and acid denpendent pathways, the latter involving protonation of the cyano ligands followed by aquation of the singly protonated species. The kinetic data for the aquation of {[CrCN{(H_2O)}_5]}^{2+}$ are consistent with the transition state structure ${[{(H_2O)}_4Cr(CN)-OH-Cr{(H_2O)}_5]}^{3+}$. Addition of $Cr^{2+}$ to solutions of cyanocobalt(III) complexes produces the metastable intermediate${[CrNC{(H_2O)}_5]}^{2+}$ This isomerizes to in a $Cr^{2+}$-catalyzed reaction which occurs by a ligand-bridged electron-change mechnism. From acid catalysis on these aquation reactions, it product HCN. Especially, $HSO_3$-ions do the role of catalyst in the formation of HCN from $CrCN^{3-}$

A new absorption spectrometric method for the determination of the Cr$_2O_7^{2-}$ ionin acidic media has been developed. The new method is based on the oxidation-reduction reaction of the HCr$O_4^-$ ion with H$_2$O$_2$forming a deep blue CrO(O$_2$) $_2$ andis coupled with a technique of flow injection analysis(FIA). The new method provides a linear calibration curve which accurately follows the Beer's law over a wide range of the analytical concentrations(2.0 ${\times}$ $10^{-6}$M~8.0 ${\times}$ $10^{-3}$M) of K$_2$Cr$_2$O$_2$. The sensitivity of the new method is approximately two times greater than the current method and the effects of the interfering substances such as V, Co, Ni, Fe, and Mn are almost negligible except Cu.

Chromium oxide/zirconia catalysts were prepared by dry impregnation of $Zr(OH)_4$ powder with aqueous solution of $(NH_4)_2CrO_4$ followed by calcining in air. The redox behavior of prepared catalysts were investigated by reacting cumene as test material over catalysts. As a result it was found that $Cr^{6+}$ species(as chromate) on the surface of catalyst was responsible for the formation of strong acid site and the catalytic activity for the dealkylation of cumene. However, much of the $Cr^{6+}$ species was reduced to $Cr^{3+}$ species by $H_2$ formed during the catalytic reaction of cumene and the reduced $Cr^{3+}$ species was an active site for dehydrogenation of cumene to form ${\alpha}$-methyl styrene. The reduced $Cr^{3+}$ species was also reoxidized to a $Cr^{6+}$ species after treatment with $O_2$ and consequently the deoxidized catalyst exhibited catalytic activity for the dealkylation reaction of cumene.

We aimed to examine the co-doping effects of 1/6 mol% $Mn_3O_4$ and 1/4 mol% $Cr_2O_3$ (Mn:Cr = 1:1) on the reaction, microstructure, and electrical properties, such as the bulk defects and grain boundary properties, of ZnO-$Bi_2O_3-Sb_2O_3$ (ZBS; Sb/Bi = 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0) varistors. The sintering and electrical properties of Mn,Cr-doped ZBS, ZBS(MnCr) varistors were controlled using the Sb/Bi ratio. Pyrochlore ($Zn_2Bi_3Sb_3O_{14}$), ${\alpha}$-spinel ($Zn_7Sb_2O_{12}$), and ${\delta}-Bi_2O_3$ (also ${\beta}-Bi_2O_3$ at Sb/Bi ${\leq}$ 1.0) were detected for all of the systems. Mn and Cr are involved in the development of each phase. Pyrochlore was decomposed and promoted densification at lower temperature on heating in Sb/Bi = 1.0 system by Mn rather than Cr doping. A more homogeneous microstructure was obtained in all systems affected by ${\alpha}$-spinel. In ZBS(MnCr), the varistor characteristics were improved dramatically (non-linear coefficient, ${\alpha}$ = 40~78), and seemed to form ${V_o}^{\cdot}$(0.33 eV) as a dominant defect. From impedance and modulus spectroscopy, the grain boundaries can be seen to have divided into two types, i.e. one is tentatively assigned to ZnO/$Bi_2O_3$ (Mn,Cr)/ZnO (0.64~1.1 eV) and the other is assigned to the ZnO/ZnO (1.0~1.3 eV) homojunction.
