Nb-Si-B alloys with Nb-rich compositions are fabricated by spark plasma sintering for high-temperature structural applications. Three compositions are selected: 75 at% Nb (Nb0.7), 82 at% Nb (Nb1.5), and 88 at% Nb (Nb3), the atomic ratio of Si to B being 2. The microstructures of the prepared alloys are composed of Nb and $T_2$ phases. The $T_2$ phase is an intermetallic compound with a stoichiometry of $Nb_5Si_{3-x}B_x$ ($0{\leq}x{\leq}2$). In some previous studies, Nb-Si-B alloys have been prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS) using Nb and $T_2$ powders (SPS 1). In the present work, the same alloys are prepared by the SPS process (SPS 2) using Nb powders and hypereutectic alloy powders with composition 67at%Nb-22at%Si-11at%B (Nb67). The Nb67 alloy powders comprise $T_2$ and eutectic ($T_2+Nb$) phases. The microstructures and hardness of the samples prepared in the present work have been compared with those previously reported; the samples prepared in this study exhibit finer and more uniform microstructures and higher hardness.

Recent study shows that the main reason for limiting CZTS device performance lies in the low open circuit voltage, and crucial factor that could affect the $V_{oc}$ is secondary phases like ZnS existing in absorber layer and its interfaces. In this work, the $Cu_2ZnSnS_4$ thin film solar cells were prepared by sputtering CuSn and CuZn alloy targets. Through tuning the Zn/Sn ratios of the CZTS thin films, the crystal structure, morphology, chemical composition and phase purity of CZTS thin films were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with an energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) and Raman spectroscopy. The statistics data show that the CZTS solar cell with a ratio of Zn/Sn = 1.2 have the best power convention efficiency of 5.07%. After HCl etching process, the CZTS thin film solar cell with the highest efficiency 5.41% was obtained, which demonstrated that CZTS film solar cells with high efficiency could be developed by sputtering CuSn and CuZn alloy targets.

A porous nickel-tin nano-dendritic electrode, for use as the anode in a rechargeable lithium battery, has been prepared by using an electrochemical deposition process. The adjustment of the complexing agent content in the deposition bath enabled the nickel-tin alloys to have specific stoichiometries while the amount of acid, as a dynamic template for micro-porous structure, was limited to a certain amount to prevent its undesirable side reaction with the complexing agent. The ratios of nickel to tin in the electro-deposits were nearly identical to the ratios of nickel ion to tin ion in the deposition bath; the particle changed from spherical to dendritic shape according to the tin content in the deposits. The nickel to tin ratio and the dendritic structure were quite uniform throughout the thickness of the deposits. The resulting nickel-tin alloy was reversibly lithiated and delithiated as an anode in rechargeable lithium battery. Furthermore, the resulting anode showed much more stable cycling performance up to 50 cycles, as compared to that resulting from dense electro-deposit with the same atomic composition and from tin electrodeposit with a similar porous structure. From the results, it is expected that highly-porous nickel-tin alloys presented in this work could provide a promising option for the high performance anode materials for rechargeable lithium batteries.

High temperature deformation behavior of $\alpha\;and\;\beta$ phase of Ti-6Al-4V was investigated within the framework of a self-consistent approach at various temperature ranges. To examine the flow behavior of u-phase, Ti-7.0Al-1.5V alloy was used, whose chemical composition is close to that of the $\alpha$ phase in Ti-6Al-4V at hot working temperatures. The flow stress of $\beta$ phase was predicted by using self-consistent approach. The flow stress of $\alpha$ phase was higher than that of $\beta$ phase above $750^{\circ}C$, while the $\beta$ phase revealed higher flow stress than a phase at $650^{\circ}C$. It was found that the relative strength and strain rate ratio between $\alpha\;and\;\beta$ phase significantly varied with temperature. From this approach, the mode for grain matrix deformation was proposed as a mixed type of both iso-stress and iso-strain rate modes.

금합금계 매몰재 재료의 물리적 특성은 각각 열팽창계수과 압축강도, 입도 분포에 크게 좌우된다. 일반적으로 금합금계 매몰재는 cristobalite와 quartz, plaster로 주성분을 구성하고 있다. 그리고 cristobalite와 quartz의 열팽창계수는 $2.6\times10^{-6}/^\circC$, $2.32\times10^{-6}/^\circC$, 로 이 두 재료의 혼합비가 매몰재의 열팽창 계수를 변화시키는 매우 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 현재 국내에서는 금합금계 매몰재는 전량 수입에 의존하고 있고 그 시장 수요 또한 대단히 크다. 따라서 균일한 입도 분포를 가지는 cristobalite와 quartz의 개발과 주조금속의 열팽창과 냉각에 따른 수축력을 고려한 열팽창계수를 가지면서 매몰재의 요구강도에 적합한 압축강도를 가지는 금합금계 매몰재의 개발이 필수적이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 먼저 균일한 입도를 갖는 cristobalite와 quartz 분체의 제조와 cristobalite와 quartz의 혼합비에 따른 열팽창계수와 압축강도를 비교 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과로 표면이 매끄럽고 균일한 입도 분포를 갖는 cristobalite와 quartz를 제조하였으며, cristobalite와 quartz의 혼합비가 45:25가 열팽창계수와 압축강도에서 매몰재가 요구하는 조건을 만족하였다.

Nanoporous gold (NPG) is a very promising material in various fields such as sensor, actuator, and catalysis because of its high surface to volume ratio and conducting nature. In this study, we fabricated a NPG based amperometric sensor on a glass substrate by means of co-sputtering of Au and Si. During the sputtering process, we found the optimum conditions for heat treatment to reduce the residual stress and to improve adhesion between NPG films and the glass substrate. Subsequently, Si was selectively etched from Au-Si alloy by KOH solution, which forms nanoporous structures. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and auger electron spectroscopy (AES) were used to estimate the structure of NPG films and their composition. By employing appropriate heat treatments, we could make very stable NPG films. We tested the performance of NPG sensor with aniline molecules, which shows high sensitivity for sensing low concentration of aniline.

Ti-Ni-Cu alloy powders were fabricated by ball milling, and the properties of these powders were characterized. Mixed 50Ti-(50-x)Ni-xCu powders of 5 to 10at.%Cu composition were milled for 100 hours using SUS 1/4" balls in argon atmosphere. Ball to powder ratio was 20:1 and rotating speed was 100 rpm. Tensile strength, microstructure and phase transformation of ball milled Ti-(50-x)Ni-xCu powders were studied. After 100 hours milling, Ti, Ni and Cu elements were alloyed completely and an amorphous phase was formed. Amorphous phase was crystallized to martensite(B 19') and austenite(B2) after heat treatment for 1 hour at $850^{\circ}C$. As the Cu contents were increased, tensile strength of extruded 6061Al/TiNiCu was decreased, and B19'martensite phases In the TiNi particles were the causes of high tensile stress of extruded 6061Al/TiNiCu.NiCu.

The cemented carbide and stainless steel were bonded using a hot-vacuum brazing method to analyze the bonding interface. Since it is suitable for the hot vacuum brazing, nickel metal was used as a binder among the main components of the cemented carbide, and a new cemented carbide material was developed by adjusting the alloy composition. The paste, which is one of the important factors affecting the hot vacuum brazing bonding, was able to improve brazing adhesion by mixing solder as Ni powder and a binder as an organic compound at an appropriate ratio. Division of the stainless steel yielded a dense brazing result. This study elucidated the interfacial characteristics of wear-resistant parts by bonding stainless steel and cemented carbide via hot vacuum brazing.

최근 들어 크롬대체 도금공정의 필요성이 대두되고 있는 가운데, 크롬도금과 색차가 적고 기계적 특성이 우수하며 환경 친화적인 주석 계 합금도금의 사용이 확대되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 Sn-Co 합금도금공정을 바탕으로 광택제, 착화제로서 glycine 사용에 대한 연구를 수행하고자 하였다. Sn-Co 합금도금과 glycine 첨가에 따른 물리적 특성 및 표면 광택측정을 위해 Hull-cell 분석 및 도금표면분석을 수행하였다. Hull-cell 분석결과 glycine의 첨가량이 증가함에 따라 광택특성은 우수한 것으로 관찰되었으며, 표면광택성이 가장 우수한 도금조건으로는 $50^{\circ}C$, pH = 8의 조건에서 전전류 공급량 1 A로 1 min간 도금한 경우 음극전류밀도 $1A/dm^2$인 영역을 추천할 수 있었다. 동일조건의 pilot 실험을 $10{\mu}m$ 두께로 Ni하지 도금 후 Sn-Co 합금도금액 기본조성인 0.03 M $SnCl_{2}{\cdot}2H_{2}O$, 0.05 M $CoSO_{4}{\cdot}7H_{2}O$, 0.7 M $K_{4}P_{2}O_{7}$의 혼합 용액에서 수행하 였다. $0.2{\sim}0.6 {\mu}m$의 도금두께를 갖는 Sn-Co 합금도금 표면의 기계적 특성과 도금표면의 성분분석 결과 glycine의 첨가량이 15 g/L일 때 우수한 밀착성, 내식성, 내마모성을 보였다. 따라서 Sn-Co 합금도금공정에 glycine을 첨가한 용액을 크롬도금공정의 최적 도금용액으로 추천할 수 있었다.
