The electrical characteristics of AlGaN/GaN/HEMT and MOSHFETs with NiO were studied. The threshold voltage of NiO MOSHFET revealed positive shift of +1.03 V than the -3.79 V of HEMT and negative shift of -1.73 V for SiO₂ MOSHFET. Also, NiO MOSHFET showed better linearity in drain current corresponding to gate voltage and higher transconductance at positive gate voltage than the others. The response of gate pulse with base voltage of -5 V was different for both transistors as HEMT showed 20 % drain current decrease at the frequency range of 0.1 Hz~10 Hz and NiO MOSHFET decreased continuously above 10 Hz.

In this study, the direct amination of ethanol was performed over impregnated Ni on SiO2-Al2O3 mixed oxide catalysts prepared by varying Si/(Si + Al) molar ratio to 30 mol%. To characterize the physico-chemical properties of the catalysts used, X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2-physisorption, temperature-programmed desorption of iso-propyl alcohol (IPA-TPD), temperature-programmed desorption of ethanol (EtOH-TPD), temperature-programmed reduction with H2 (H2-TPR), H2-chemisorption and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used. The acidic property was continuously increased until Si/(Si + Al) = 30 mol% in SiO2-Al2O3 mixed oxides used. The dispersion of Ni metal and surface area, acid characteristics of the supported Ni catalyst have a complex effect on the catalytic reaction activity. The low reduction temperature of nickel oxide and acidic properties were beneficial to the formation of acetonitrile. In terms of conversion of ethanol, Ni/SiO2-Al2O3 catalyst with a molar ratio of 10 mol% Si/(Si+Al) showed the highest activity and a volcanic curve based on it. The tendency of results were consistent in the metal dispersion and catalytic activity.

Reforming catalyst of synthesis gas for GTL-FPSO process is presented in this paper. In the present study, the Ni foam catalyst was compared with the existing $Al_2O_3$ pellet catalyst. The SCR reaction on the catalyst was evaluated at the different temperature. The $CH_4$ conversions increased with the reactor temperature. Also, the Ni foam catalyst had a higher $CH_4$ conversion than a pellet catalyst.

The co-deposited behavior was investigated under varied bath compositions and current densities from Watt Ni plating bath containing Al and A1$_2$O$_3$powders. For single-particle bath, Al and A1$_2$O$_3$particles were agglomerated. The area percentage of A1$_2$O$_3$on plating surface decreased with increasing the current density, while that of Al on plating surface increased. On the other hand, in case of double-particle bath with 1.25g/$\ell$ of Al and 5.0g/$\ell$ of A1$_2$O$_3$5g, the area percentage of Ni-Al-A1$_2$O$_3$increased with increasing current density and the surface morphology was fine without agglomeration. Intermetallic compounds such as $\gamma$'and $\gamma$+$\gamma$' phases appeared when the co-deposited film was annealed.

Ni and Ni-Cr porous metals which are estimated to be easy to fabricate by squeeze casting are used as strengtheners for composite materials. As a matrix material, Al-7%wtSi-0.3 wt%Mg(AC4C) has been used. In case of Ni/AC4C and Ni-Cr/AC4C composite, $750^{\circ}C$ melt temperature and minimum 25 MPa squeezing pressure are needed to produce sound composite materials. The observation of interfacial reaction zone at various heat treatment condition showed that solutionizing temperature of above 520^{\circ}C$, the interfacial reaction zone increased proportionally with increasing heat treatment tim and reaction products formed by interfacial reaction are mainly composed of $Al_3Ni$ and $Al_3Ni_2$ phases. The tensile strength of Ni/AC4C and Ni-Cr/AC4C composite is lower than the matrix metal and this can be explained by the brittle intermetallic compounds formed at the interface of Ni and Ni-Cr reinforcements. But the properies of hardness, wear resistance and thermal expansion are better than the matrix due to the strengthening effect of Ni-Cr porous metals.

In order to improve the hydrogen storage capacity and the activation property of the $MmNi_{4.5}Al_{0.5}$ alloy, the multiphase alloy system are prepared by adding the excess Zr in $MmNi_{4.5}Al_{0.5}$ alloy. It is estimated from the X-ray diffraction pattern and the energy dispersive X-ray analysis that the 2nd phases in $MmNi_{4.5}Al_{0.5}Zr_x$ alloys are $ZrNi_3$, ${\beta}$-Zr. Their morphology is also examined by the scanning electron microscope, and it shows the needle-like precipitation. As the Zr contents increase, the activation time and the plateau pressure decrease, sloping of the plateau pressure increase. Amount of the 2nd phases increase with Zr contents in $MmNi_44.5Al_{0.5}Zr_x$ alloys. The $MmNi_44.5Al_{0.5}Zr_{0.05}$ alloy, which shows the maximum storage capacity and the strong resistance to intrinsic degradation, is considered as a proper alloy for hydrogen storage.

PURPOSE. This study aimed to develop a copper-aluminium-nickel alloy which has properties comparable to that of dental alloys used for dental post and core applications with the reasonable cost. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Sixteen groups of experimental copper alloys with variants of 3, 6, 9, 12 wt% Al and 0, 2, 4, 6 wt% Ni were prepared and casted. Their properties were tested and evaluated. The data of thermal, physical, and mechanical properties were analyzed using the two-way ANOVA and Tukey's test (${\alpha}$=0.05). The alloy toxicity was evaluated according to the ISO standard. RESULTS. The solidus and liquidus points of experimental alloys ranged from $1023^{\circ}C$ to $1113^{\circ}C$ and increased as the nickel content increased. The highest ultimate tensile strength ($595.9{\pm}14.2$ MPa) was shown in the Cu-12Al-4Ni alloy. The tensile strength was increased as the both elements increased. Alloys with 3-6 wt% Al exhibited a small amount of 0.2% proof strength. Accordingly, the Cu-9Al-2Ni and Cu-9Al-4Ni alloys not only demonstrated an appropriate modulus of elasticity ($113.9{\pm}8.0$ and $122.8{\pm}11.3$ GPa, respectively), but also had a value of 0.2% proof strength ($190.8{\pm}4.8$ and $198.2{\pm}3.4$ MPa, respectively), which complied with the ISO standard requirement (>180 MPa). Alloys with the highest contents of nickel (6 wt% Ni) revealed a widespread decolourisation zone (5.0-5.9 mm), which correspondingly produced the largest cell response, equating positive control. CONCLUSION. The copper alloys fused with 9 wt% Al and 2-4 wt% Ni can be considered for a potential use as dental post and core applications.

The intermetallic compound $Ni_3Al$ causes a peritectic reaction at the composition and temperature very close to the eutectic reaction in Ni-Al system. Although the phase diagram accepted for this system by ASM Handbook has the eutectic forming between the $\gamma$ and $\gamma$ phases, directional solidification study has shown that the eutectic occurs between $\beta$ and $\gamma$. This work examines the liquidus region using quenched, directional solidification experiments that preserve the microstructrues formed at the solidification front. It is also shown that under certain composition and growth conditions a metastable eutectic between the $\beta$ and $\gamma$ phases forms in this system. Finding of the metastable eutectic provided an important information to understand the phase equilibria near the $Ni_3Al$ composition.

이종 재료의 접합에 대한 연구는 단일 재료에서 얻을 수 없는 물리적/기계적 특성과 이종 재료의 우수한 특성을 얻을 수 있다는 장점이 있어 국내외 적으로 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이러한 이종 접합 기술은 구조재료와 에너지 변환분야에 가장 많이 사용되고 있으며, 그 외 광촉매와 Thin film, 경량구조재료 등에도 사용되고 있다. 그 중 FGM(Functional Graded Materials)는 조성의 점진적인 변화를 통하여 접합하는 방법으로 이종 재료 접합 시 발생하는 내부 응력을 해소해줌으로써 적합한 방법이라고 할 수 있다. FGM 제작에 사용되는 방법으로 널리 알려진 것들로는 plasma spraying, 원심주조, 분말 야금법, PVD, CVD 그리고 EPD(electrophoretic deposition) 등이 있다. 이중에서 EPD는 수용액이나 유기용매와 같은 분산매체 중에 콜로이드 입자의 표면에 대전되는 전하를 이용하여, 외부에서 전장을 걸어서 입자의 움직임을 제어하는 기술이다 EPD는 코팅 속도가 상대적으로 빠르고 두꺼운 코팅 층 제작이 가능하다. 또한 바인더, 윤활제 또는 가소제를 사용하지 않고 다양한 종류와 모양의 기판 위에 균일한 코팅이 가능하다는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 Ni substrate를 이용하여 그 위에 Ni과 $Al_2O_3$의 조성을 점진적으로 변화시켜 FGM을 EPD 방법으로 코팅하였다. 여기서 사용된 Ni은 높은 녹는점과 좋은 연성으로 인해 성형이 용이하여 구조재료로 적합하며, $Al_2O_3$는 고내열성과 내부식성을 가지며 경도가 높다는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 EPD 방식을 이용하여 Ni/$Al_2O_3$ FGM을 코팅하였으며, 코팅 후 발생하는 substrate와의 접착력 문제를 해결하기 위해서 건조 방식과 substrate의 표면 상태를 최적화하여 다층의 Ni/$Al_2O_3$ FGM을 코팅 및 소결하였다. Zeta-potential 측정을 통해 electrophoretic mobility와 suspension의 분산 안정도를 평가 할 수 있었으며, X-ray 회절 분석(XRD)을 통하여 Ni 의 환원 여부를 확인하였다. 또한 Scanning electron microscopy(SEM) 분석을 통하여 미세구조 분석을 하였고, 최종적으로 Electron Probe Micro Analyzer (EPMA) 를 이용하여 다층 구조의 조성변화를 확인함으로 Ni/$Al_2O_3$의 FGM 코팅이 이루어졌음을 확인하였다.
