Effects of Co/Al and Si/Al molar ratios of cobalt incorporated SAPO-34 catalysts (CoAPSO-34) on their catalytic lifetime were investigated in dimethyl to olefin (DTO) reaction. The property of CoAPSO-34 catalysts was characterized using XRD, SEM, $^{29}Si$ MAS NMR, and $NH_3$-TPD techniques. First, the lifetime of CoAPSO-34 prepared by varying Co/Al molar ratios was improved than that of using the SAPO-34 catalyst, and the optimal Co/Al molar ratio was 0.0025. The total acid site amounts increased from 0.432 to 1.111 mmol/g with increasing Si/Al molar ratios from 0.05 to 0.20 while fixing a Co/Al molar ratio of 0.0025. However, the catalysts with too high acid site amounts were deactivated rapidly with blockages of the pores due to the fast accumulation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the cage. Therefore, the CoAPSO-34 catalyst with a proper Si/Al molar ratio of 0.10 was the most superior in terms of the lifetime, which was improved by about 87% as compared with that of the SAPO-34 catalyst.

Machinable SiC ceramics are prepared with the addition of $Al_2TiO_5$. Ready-to-press SiC and $Al_2TiO_5$ powders are mixed and pressureless sintered at $1750^{\circ}C$ and $1850^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. The weight ratios of the SiC and $Al_2TiO_5$ powders are 100 : 0, 100 : 10, and 100 : 20. After sintering, only SiC peaks are detected in the X-ray diffraction analyses. The density, strength, and grain size of the SiC increase with increases in the $Al_2TiO_5$ content and sintering temperature. The $Al_2TiO_5$-doped specimens are easy to micro-hole machine. Based on the density and strength data, the ceramics sintered at $1850^{\circ}C$ can be used as machinable ceramics.

To improve corrosion resistance and reduce the hydrogen uptake of 22MnB5, up to 5% Mg was added to the AlSi coating of 22MnB5. After hot-stamping and electrocoating were done on the metallic-coated specimen, the surface characteristics of the steel, hydrogen uptake content, and corrosion resistance were examined by transmittance electron microscopy, thermal desorption spectrometry, cyclic corrosion testing, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Mg was investigated as MgO on the surface layer after hot-stamping while it existed as Mg₂Si before hot-stamping. The total hydrogen content of 22MnB5 was decreased along with the Mg content. However, there was no difference at 0.2 wt% or more. When a small amount of Mg was added, the coating corrosion resistance was decreased, but when it was added at around 1.0 wt%, the greatest corrosion resistance increase was seen. However, when 3 wt% or more was added excessively, the corrosion resistance was decreased. MgO on the surface was considered to suppress H uptake by the AlSi melting solution and increase the barrier effect of the coating.

The effect of extrusion temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties were studied in He-gas atomized $Al_{81-(x＋y)}Si_{19}Ni_xCe_y$ alloy powders and their extruded bars using SEM, tensile testing and thermal expansion testing. The extruded bar of $Al_{73}Si_{19}Ni_7Ce_1$ alloy consists of a mixed structure in which fine Si particles with a particle size below 20∼500nm and very fine $Al_3Ni,\;Al_3Ce$ compounds with a particle size below 200nm are homogeneously dispersed in Al martix with a grain size below 500nm. With increasing extrusion temperature, the microstructural scale was decreased. The ultimate tensile strength of the alloy bars has incresed with decreasing extrusion temperature from 500 to 35$0^{\circ}C$ and $Al_{73}Si_{19}Ni_7Ce_1$ alloy extreded at 35$0^{\circ}C$ shows a highest tensile strength of 810 MPa due to the fine namostructure. The addition of Ni and Ce decreased the coefficients of thermal expansion and the effects of extression temperature on the thermal expansion were not significant.

Recent years have seen advent of hot stamped parts made from laser-welded blanks of boron steels for structures requiring high crash energy absorption. However, the presence of Al-Si coating interfered with satisfactory mechanical characterizations after laser butt welding. In this study, laser ablation technology was considered in order to facilitate adequate mechanical characterization of the final hot-stamped panels.

In the present work, hot workability of particulate-reinforced Al6061-20%SiC composite produced by direct hot extrusion technique was studied. Uniaxial hot compression test at various temperatures and strain rates was used and the workability behavior was evaluated from the flow curves and the attendant microstructures. It was shown that the presence of SiC particles in the soft Al6061 matrix deteriorates the hot workability. Bulging of the specimens and flow lines were observed, which indicate the plastic instability during hot working. Microstructure of the composites after hot deformation was found to be heterogeneous, i.e. the reinforcement clusters were observed at the flow lines. The mechanism of deformation was found to be controlled primarily by dynamic recrystallization.

$SF_6$ is the most important greenhouse gas with the highest GWP (global warming potential). The $SF_6$ decomposition study was performed with silicon carbide with aluminium oxide by microwave irradiation. DRE (Decomposition and Removal Efficiencie) of $SF_6$ were evaluated by GC-TCD unit using 3,000 ppm $SF_6$ gas. DRE of $SF_6$ was increased by $Al_2O_3$ contents to 10~30 wt%, otherwise $Al_2O_3$ content of 40~50 wt% was decreased. DRE of $SF_6$ up to 99.99% have been achieved in SiC-$Al_2O_3$ (20 wt%) and SiC-$Al_2O_3$ (30 wt%) above $900^{\circ}C$. Also, the DRE of SiC-$Al_2O_3$ (30 wt%) at $700^{\circ}C$ showed 96.72%. In addition to consideration microwave input energy and $Al_2O_3$ content, SiC-$Al_2O_3$ (30 wt%) can be suggested the best material to control $SF_6$. The results of this study suggest it is important to control content of $Al_2O_3$ in SiC for decomposition of $SF_6$ with microwave energy.
