The metal spray method, one of the surface anti-corrosion methods to prevent the corrosion of the steel material, does little effects on the material, while it can be used on a wider surface. However, metal spraying is used only in a limited environment, and research on the case of using with concrete is lacking. The purpose of this study was to observe the corrosion behavior of steels with metal spray coatings in concrete using electrochemical methods And to evaluate the performance of the method according to the type of metal used in the metal spray. As a result, the Al metal spray coating showed the best performance, because Aluminum is oxidized in the cement mortar and forms alumina oxide film.

Aluminum nitride (AlN) nanopowders with low degree of agglomeration and uniform particle size were synthesized by carbothermal reduction of alumina and subsequent direct nitridization. Boehmite powder was homogeneously admixed with carbon black nanopowders by ball milling. The powder mixture was treated under ammonia atmosphere to synthesize AlN powder at lour temperature. The effect of process variables such as boehmite/carbon black powder ratio, reaction temperature and reaction time on the synthesis of AlN nanopowder was investigated.

Highly sensitive thick film ethanol gas sensors based on a nanocrystalline $In_{2}O_{3}$ were fabricated by painting method on alumina substrates. The crystal structure of the $In_{2}O_{3}$ powder was characterised by XRD analysis. The microstructure of the films were characterised using FE-SEM. The experimental results of the ethanol gas sensing characteristics indicated that the undoped $In_{2}O_{3}$ thick film has a high sensitivity. The sensitivity of the film heat treated at $400^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs. was as high as 32.73 at an operating temperature of $200^{\circ}C$ to 1000 ppm ethanol gas in air.

Laboratory and field experiments were conducted to study the effectiveness of five adsorbents for the removal of arsenic. The adsorbents included activated alumina (AA), iron coated AA (ICAA), and granular ferric hydroxide (GFH), granular ferric oxide (GFO), and granular titanium dioxide (GTD). Laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate arsenic removal using challenge water prepared in accordance with NSF International Standards 53 (ANSl/NSF 53-2001). Field experiments were conducted using arsenic-contaminated groundwater In laboratory experiment, the treatment capacity decreased in the following order GTD > GFO > GFH. In contrast, the treatment capacity decreased in the following order GFO > GTD > GFH > ICAA > Ah in field experiments.

Nanoporous AAO (Anodic Aluminum Oxide) membranes have many advantages as a template for variety of magnetic materials. Materials can be embedded into the pores by electrodeposition, sputtering or magnetic-field-assisted infiltration of magnetic nanoparticles. This work focuses on the fabrication of the magnetic structures in the AAO templates by electrodeposition. Our method allows the controlled growth of Co nanostructures within the porous alumina membrane in the form of dots, rods and long wires. The shape of Co nanostructures has been investigated by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). The magnetic hysteresis loops of Co nanostructures were measured using SQUID at 5 K and 300 K. The magnetic properties of the Co nanostructures are proportional to their aspect ratios and can be controlled by changing the aspect ratios.

We present a formation technique of thin film heater for heat transfer components. Thin film structures of Cr-Si have been prepared on top of alumina substrates by magnetron sputtering. More samples of Mo thin films were prepared on silicon oxide and silicon nitride substrates by electron beam evaporation technology. The electrical properties of the thin film structures were measured up to the temperature of $500^{\circ}C$. The thickness of the thin films was ranged to about 1 um, and a post annealing up to $900^{\circ}C$ was carried out to achieve more reliable film structures. In measurements of temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR), chrome-rich films show the metallic properties; whereas silicon-rich films do the semiconductor properties. Optimal composition between Cr and Si was obtained as 1 : 2, and there is 20% change or less of surface resistance from room temperature to $500^{\circ}C$. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) were used for the material analysis of the thin films.

Dry sliding wear behavior of electro-pressure sintered Co-Fe, Co-Ni and Co-Fe-Ni compacts was investigated. Pin-on-disk wear tests were performed on the sintered compacts disk specimens against alumina $(Al_2O_3)$ and silica $(SiO_2)$ ball counterparts at various loads ranging from 3N to 12N. Two sliding speeds of 0.1m/sec and 0.2m/sec and a fixed sliding distance of 1,000m were employed. Worn surfaces and cross sections of them were examined by a scanning electron microscopy, and wear mechanism of the compacts was investigated. Effects of the oxide layer that was formed on wearing surface of the compacts on the wear were also studied.

Titanium was melted in the CaO-coated alumina crucible and the reaction between the melt and the coating layer was negligible. The volume fraction of the gas porosity was decreased with increasing pressure and the sound bar castings with no porosity was obtained under the Ar atmosphere of the pressure of $300kN/mm^2$. The surface of the casting obtained from CaO-coated graphite mold was slightly rougher than that from graphite without coating. The reaction product of titanium melt with the layer of CaO was mainly titanium oxide and that with graphite crucible was titanium cabide with small amount of titanium nitride.

It was reported that low temperature plasma developed by our group was apparently homogeneous and stable at atmospheric pressure, and was generated if the alumina was used as a dielectric insulating material and Ar gas as a plasma gas. This is a structure in which the dielectric materials are covered and arranged in parallel in the one side of electrode. In this experiment, we discovered that dielectric material was important to generate normal electric discharge. To examine the effect of dielectric material on the electric discharge characteristic, the voltage and current of the plasma was measured and the electrical effect of dielectric material was examined. Also, it was applied to an etching of tin oxide films.

The concurrent production of methanol and dimethyl ether from carbon dioxide hydrogenation has been studied under various reaction conditions. First, the methanol synthesis was compared with the concurrent production method. For the methanol synthesis, the ternary mixed oxide catalyst (CuO/ZnO/Al2O3) was used and for the coproduction of methanol and dimethyl ether, silica-alumina was mixed with the methanol synthesis catalyst to be a hybrid catalyst. The results show that the co-production provides much higher per-pass yield than methanol synthesis even at very short contact time. The effects of temperature, contact time, pressure and catalyst hybrid ratio on the product yields and selectivities were also determined in the co-production.
