Effects of cooling rate, cold reduction %, continuous annealing treatments on the recrystallization texture structure of the A1 killed extra low carbon steel sheet contaning Ti, Nb, and B were investigated. The texture coefficient ratio TC (222)/TC (200) tends to increase with decreasing the cooling rate of the coling process and increasing cold reduction %. However, the texture coefficient ratio tends to decrease as the cold reduction % increases from 80% to 90%, which may be due to the change of the primary texture structure from {554} (225) to {ill] (1 1%). The optimum fabrication procedures for the steel sheet with a maximum texture coefficient ratio may be : furnance cooling after the coiling treatment, 80% cold reduction and the continuous annealing treatment of holding at 80O0C for 1 min., water quenching and then holding at $450^{\circ}C$ for 5min.

The striations parallel to the casting direction are the characteristic defects occurring during the unidirectional solidification of nonferrous metals such as pure Al and Sn. It has been known that the defects affect the recrystallization temperature as well as the mechanical and electrical properties of Al. However, it has not been still known about the effect of casting factors such as the casting speed, rod diameter of cast metals, and alloying elements on the occurrence of striations. In the present study, these casting factors affecting the occurrence of striation were investigated by adopting the quantitative examination of striations. Also, the relation between striation defects and feathery grain, which are very similar to the striation defects, was studied.

In order to develop non-heated STAl(super thermal resistant Aluminum alloy) for ampacity gain conductor, the systematic research was carried out. Especailly, the effect of a very small amount of Zr, Sc element in EC grade Al ingot on mechanical and electrical properties was our priority. As a result, it was found that the strength and recrystallization temperature of designed alloy was gradually increased with Zr, Sc addition up to 0.3 wt.%. However, the electric conductivity showed no drastic change. The tensile strength and recrystalliztion temperature, $17.75{\sim}20.05\;kgf/mm^2$ and $420{\sim}520\;^{\circ}C$, was obtained at 0.3 wt.% Zr, Sc addition, respectively. Particles of the $Al_3Zr$ and $Al_3Sc$ phase affected the ambient and elevated-temperature strength of the alloys.

In Zone Melting Recrystallization(ZMR) of SOl structure, thin silicon films have been recrystallized by artificial control of beam intensity profile which was obtained by tilting of upper elliptical reflector. Temperature profiles and gradients near solidification interface were calculated by numerical simulation for analysis of asymmetric line heating effect. The larger the tilting angle of the upper reflector, the larger the degree of supercooling at liquid and the interdefect spacing in thin silicon films. Major defects were continuous subgrainboundaries. Isolated threading dislocations were observed in the case of the film having low defect density. We have found that the thin silicon films were recrystallized into (100) textured single crystals by cross-sectional TEM and thin film X-ray diffraction analysis.

This study was interpreted the forming process of surface contaminants on ten-story stone pagoda of Wongaksa temple, Seoul. Results of research, we estimated that black contaminants were formed by graphite stuck carbon in air pollution substance after that gypsum was generated by chemical weathering on stone pagoda. White contaminants were built by recrystallization of calcite that were made by decomposition of finishing materials and structure on the stone surface. To preserve a long-term of stone pagoda in Wongaksa temple, there were required that continuous monitoring, anticorrosion treatment and contaminants cleaning of protective facilities.

The effect of forging parameters, including different forging stock, strain rate and strain, on the mechanical properties of hot-forged Al 6061-T6 was investigated. The forging was conducted using either hydraulic press, crank press or hammer press, respectively, at a forging temperature of $400^{\circ}C$. When using an extruded bar as a forging stock, the tensile strength was lower for the specimens prepared by hammer forging than those by crank press forging. It was found that the coarsening of recrystallized grain was responsible for the decrease in tensile strength with hammer forging. Systematic studies on the effects of strain and strain rate on the tensile properties of hot-forged Al 6061-T6 products using extruded bar as a forging stock further suggested that the coarsening of recrystallized grains and$ Mg_2$Si precipitates complexed the observed trends in the tensile behavior. In case of hot forging with continuous cast bar as a forging stock, on the other hand, the mechanical properties of the specimen were largely improved with hammer press compared to those with crank press, which appeared to be due to the homogenization of microstructure.

Extruded Mg-Bi binary alloys are known to have an undesirable bimodal grain structure containing a large amount of coarse unrecrystallized grains. Accordingly, to improve the microstructural homogeneity of extruded Mg-Bi alloys, it is necessary to promote the dynamic recrystallization (DRX) behavior during hot extrusion. An effective way to promote DRX is an increase in nucleation sites for DRX through a pre-deformation process before extrusion, such as cold pre-forging and hot pre-compression. However, the application of these pre-deformation processes increases the cost of final extruded Mg products because of an increase in energy consumption and decrease in productivity. Therefore, a low-cost new continuous process with high productivity is required to improve the microstructural homogeneity and mechanical properties of extruded Mg alloys without a drastic increase in the entire process cost. This study proposes a new extrusion method using an extrusion billet with a truncated cone shape (i.e., tapered billet) instead of a conventional extrusion billet with a cylindrical shape. When the hot extrusion of a Mg-5Bi alloy is conducted using the tapered billet, the DRX behavior during extrusion is considerably promoted. The DRX fraction and average grain size of the extruded alloy significantly increase and decrease from 65% to 91% and from 225 ㎛ to 49 ㎛, respectively. Consequently, the extruded Mg-5Bi alloy fabricated using the tapered billet has a finer homogeneous grain structure and higher tensile elongation than the extruded counterpart fabricated using the cylindrical billet.

Ultramafic xenoliths from southeastern part of Jeju Island can be grouped into two types: Type I and Type II. Type I xenoliths are magnesian and olivine-rich peridotite (mg#=89-91), which are commonly found at the outcrop. Most previous works have been focused on Type I xenoliths. Type II xenoliths, consisting of olivine, orthopyroxene and clinopyroxene with higher Fe and Ti components (mg#=77-83) and lower Mg, Ni, Cr, are reported in this study. They are less common with a more extensive compositional range. The studied Type II xenoliths are wehrlite, olivine-clinopyroxenite, olivine websterite, and websterite. They sometimes show ophitic textures in outcrops indicating cumulate natures. The textural characteristics, such as kink banding and more straight grain boundaries with triple junctions, are interpreted as the result of recrystallization and annealing. Large pyroxene grains have exsolution textures and show almost the same major compositions as small exsolution-free pyroxenes. Although the exsolution texture indicates a previous high-temperature history, all mineral phases are completely reequilibrated to some lower temperature. Orthopyroxenes replacing clinopyroxene margin or olivine indicate an orthopyroxene enrichment event. Mineral phases of Type II are compared with Type I xenoliths, gabbroic xenoliths, and the host basalts. Those from Type II xenoliths show a distinct discontinuity with those from Type I mantle xenoliths, whereas they show a continuous or overlapping relation with those from gabbroic xenoliths and the host basalts. Our petrographic and geochemical results suggest that the studied type II xenoliths appear to be cumulates derived from the host magma-related system, being formed by early fractional crystallization, although these xenoliths may not be directly linked to the host basalt.

Two assertions about the process the formation of the high-purity limestone in the Taebaeksan Basin, categorized into syngenetic and epigenetic origin, are verified on the basis of its oxygen-carbon stable isotopic characteristics. The carbonate rocks sampled from the selective six high-purity limestone mines and several outcrops in the Daegi formation are featured by various colors such as the gray, light gray and dark gray. They show a wide range of oxygen stable isotope ratios (4.5 ~ 21.6 ‰), but a narrow range of carbon stable isotope ratios (-1.1 ~ 0.8 ‰, except for vein calcite), which means that they had not experienced strong hydrothermal alteration. In addition, there is no difference in the range of the oxygen stable isotope ratios by mine and color, and it is similar to the range from surrounding outcrop samples. These results indicate that the effect of the hydrothermal alteration were negligible in the generation of high-purity limestone in deposit scale. Whereas, the carbonate rocks can be divided texturally into two groups on the basis of an oxygen isotope ratio; the massive-textured or well-layered samples (>15 ‰), and the layer-disturbed (or layer-destructed) and showing over two colors in one sample (<15 ‰). In the multi-colored samples, the bright parts are characterized by the very low oxygen stable isotope ratios, compared to the dark parts, implying the increase in brightness of the carbonate rocks could be induced by the interaction between hydrothermal fluid and rock. However, these can be applied in a small scale such as one sample and are not suitable for interpretation of the generation of high-purity limestone as a deposit scale. In particular, the high oxygen isotope ratios from the recrystallized white limestone suggest that hydrothermal fluids are also rarely involved during recrystallization process. In addition, the occurrences of the high-purity limestone orebody strongly support the high-purity limestone in the area are syngenetic rather than epigenetic; the high-purity limestone layers in the area show continuous and almost horizontal shapes, and is intercalated between dolomite layers. Consequently, the overall reinterpretation based on the sequential stratigraphy over the Taebaeksan basin would play an important role to find additional reserves of the high-purity limestone.
