$Cr_2AlC$ compounds were synthesized by hot pressing, and oxidized between 900 and $1200^{\circ}C$ in air for up to 50 hours. They oxidized to a thin $Al_2O_3$ layer containing a small amount of $Cr_2O_3$with the liberation of carbon as CO or $CO_2$ gases. The consumption of Al to form the $Al_2O_3$ layer led to the depletion of Al and enrichment of Cr just below the $Al_2O_3$ layer, resulting in the formation of an underlying $Cr_7C_3$ layer. As the oxidation temperature and time increased, the $Cr_7C_3$ oxide layer and the underlying $Cr_7C_3$ layer thickened. The oxidation resistance of $Cr_2AlC$ was generally good due to the formation of the $Al_2O_3$ barrier layer.

The surface characteristics of calcined ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ particles as well as ${\gamma}-AlO$(OH) sol particles were controlled by aging in the boehmite sol preparation. As a result of the study, the IEPs of ${\gamma}-AlO$(OH) particles were decreased from pH 9.25 to pH 8.70 and those of the calcined ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ particles were decreased from pH 9.90 to pH 8.86 by the increase of the aging times. As a result of the acidic and basic characterization of the calcined ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ particles by the aging, the amount of acid sites was decreased from 0.1367 mmol/g to 0.0783 mmol/g by the increase of the aging times and Hammett acidity, $H_o$ was showed the acidic strength of 4.8 or above. On the other hand, the amount of basic sites was decreased from 0.4399 mmol/g to 0.3074 mmol/g by the increase of the aging times. Based on these results, we proposed the fact that the aging step in the sol-gel process was an important step to control the surface characterization of ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ particles including acidity and basicity.

The alumina-zirconia composite powders of core particle ZrO2 coated with Al2O3 were prepared by the hydrolysis-deposition of the mixed aluminum salt solution of Al2(SO4)3-Al(NO3)3-Urea. The effects of hydrolysis reaction and coating parameters on characteristics of coated powders and composites were also investigated. The degree of coating could be estimated from the ratio of tetra-/mono-ZrO2 present at the room temperature after heat-treating coated powders at 120$0^{\circ}C$ and the result of TEM observations. When the content of ZrO2 in the dispersed coating system, the coating time, and the volume ratio of water/solution were 50 mg/g, 180 min, and 5, respectively the coating efficiency was maximum (the ratio of tetra-/mono-ZrO2 was 87/13). The relative densities of coated Al2O3-ZrO2 composites sintered at 1$650^{\circ}C$ for 4 hrs were about 91~98% and the maximum ratio of tetra-/mono-ZrO2 in Al2O3-20wt% ZrO2 composites was 62/38.

$NiAl_2O_4$ nanoparticle was synthesized by a reverse micelle processing for inorganic pigment. $Ni(NO_3)_2{\cdot}6H_2O$ and $Al(NO_3)_3{\cdot}9H_2O$ were used for the precursor in order to synthesize $NiAl_2O_4$ nanoparticles. The aqueous solution, which consisted of a mixing molar ratio of Ni/Al, was 1:2 and heat treated at $800{\sim}1100^{\circ}C$ for 2h. The average size and distribution of synthesized $NiAl_2O_4$ powders are in the range of 10-20 nm and narrow, respectively. The average size of the synthesized $NiAl_2O_4$ powders increased with an increasing water-to-surfactant molar ratio and heating temperature. The crystallinity of synthesized $NiAl_2O_4$ powder increased with an increasing heating temperature. The synthesized $NiAl_2O_4$ powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis(XRD), a field emission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM), and a color spectrophotometer. The properties of synthesized powders were affected as a function such as a molar ratio and heating temperature. Results indicate that synthesis using a reverse miclle processing is a favorable process to obtain $NiAl_2O_4$ spinels at low temperatures. The procedure performed suggests that this new synthesis route for producing these oxides has the advantage of being fast and simple. Colorimetric coordinates indicate that the pigments obtained exhibit blue colors.

Alloys of TiAl with six different compositions. i. e., Ti-(42, 44)Al-2Nb-4V. Ti-(42, 44)Al-4Nb-2V and Ti -(42, 44)Al-4Nb-2Cr, were manufactured by arc-melting. and their oxidation behavior was studied. Both isothermal and cyclic oxidation tests were performed at 700, 800 and $900^{\circ}C$ in air for 50hr. The oxidation resistance increased in the order of Ti-(42, 44)Al-2Nb-4V, Ti-(42, 44)Al-4Nb-ZV and Ti-(42, 44)Al-4Nb-2Cr. It was found that V was a deleterious element, while Cr was a beneficial element in terms of oxidation resistance. During oxidation, a simultaneous interdiffusion was observed. All the constituent elements in the base alloys diffused outward. whereas oxygen from the atmosphere diffused inward, to form triple oxide layers composed of an outermost $\textrm{TiO}_2$ layer. upper ($\textrm{TiO}_2+\textrm{Al}_2\textrm{O}_3$) mixed layer, and lower $\textrm{TiO}_2$-rich layer.

Al2O3-20 wt% ZrO2 composite powders to be used as the starting materials of the Al2O3/ZrO2-Spinel composite system were prepared by the use of the emulsion-hot kerosene drying method. The crystalline phase of ZrO2 in the synthesized Al2O3-ZrO2 composite powders was 100% tetragonal but the small amount of t-ZrO2 was transformed into m-ZrO2 after crushing. The hardness, fracture toughness, and flexural strength of the composite, which was sintered at 1650$^{\circ}C$ for 4 hrs after calcining at 1100$^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs and had the relative density of 99%, were 15.7 GPa, 4.97 MN/m3/2, and 390 MPa, respectively. The fracture form in the sintered composites was found to be the intergranular fracture.

The crystallization of metastable "orthorhombic" phase from the glass in the system of Na $AlSi_3O_8-CaAl_2Si_2O_8$ is studied. These crystals are crystallized in the range of composition from $Ab_80An_20$ to An100. The symmetry of these crystals show orthorhombic as a possible space group P22121. Two probable twin models are proposed. proposed.

In this study, the Al-rich AlTiSiN thin films that consisted of TiN/AlSiN nano-multilayers were deposited on the steel substrate by magnetron sputtering, and their high-temperature oxidation behavior was investigated, which has not yet been adequately studied to date. Since the oxidation behavior of the films depends sensitively on the deposition method and deposition parameters which affect their crystallinity, composition, stoichiometry, thickness, surface roughness, grain size and orientation, the oxidation studies under various conditions are imperative. AlTiSiN nano-multilayer thin films were deposited on a tool steel substrate, and their oxidation behavior of was investigated between 600 and $1000^{\circ}C$ in air. Since the amount of Al which had a high affinity for oxygen was the largest in the film, an ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3-rich$ scale formed, which provided good oxidation resistance. The outer surface scale consisted of ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ incoporated with a small amount of Ti, Si, and Fe. Below this outer surface scale, a thin ($Al_2O_3$, $TiO_2$, $SiO_2$)-intermixed scale formed by the inwardly diffusing oxygen. The film oxidized slower than the $TiO_2-forming$ kinetics and TiN films, but faster than ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3-forming$ kinetics. During oxidation, oxygen from the atmosphere diffused inwardly toward the reaction front, whereas nitrogen and the substrate element of iron diffused outwardly to a certain extent.

Alumina($Al_2O_3$) and Al 6061 were brazed by using Al-12wt% Si filler metal in a high vacuum environment. The interfacial microstructure and mechanical properties of the joints were investigated. The results obtained were as follows. (1) The maximum tensile strength of 54Mpa was acquired at the processing conditions of high vacuum ($3{\times}10^{-6}Torr$), $620^{\circ}C$ and 10min, but this condition will not be used in the industrial area due to high evaporation of Al alloy composition. (2) Reaction products for holding time and brazing temperature worked as stress relieve layer and the fractures after the mechanical properties test were occurred to the ceramic side or reaction layer. (3) The glancing angle X-ray diffraction analysis for the reaction product of $Al_2O_3/Al$ 6061 were processed. the joint strengths were low due to existed $Al_2Si_5\;and\;SiO_2$.
