Chromium was coated on a steel substrate by the Cr(III) electroplating method, and corroded at $500-900^{\circ}C$ for 5 h in $N_2/0.1%H_2S-mixed$ gas to study the high-temperature corrosion behavior of the Cr(III) coating in the highly corrosive $H_2S-environment$. The coating consisted of (C, O)-supersaturated, nodular chromium grains with microcracks. Corrosion was dominated by oxidation owing to thermodynamic stability of oxides compared to sulfides and nitrides. Corrosion initially led to formation of the thin $Cr_2O_3$ layer, below which (S, O)-dissolved, thin, porous region developed. As corrosion progressed, a $Fe_2Cr_2O_4$ layer formed below the $Cr_2O_3$ layer. The coating displayed relatively good corrosion resistance due to formation of the $Cr_2O_3$ scale and progressive sealing of microcracks.

(Ni-22Cr-10Al-1Y)와 ($ZrO_2-25CeO_2-2.5Y_2O_3$)로 구성되는 금속/세라믹 복합코팅을 대기용사(ASP; air plasma spay)으로 철 기판위에 1:3, 2:2, 3:1의 무게비로 혼합하여 제조하였다. 용사된 코팅은 금속이영지역과 세라믹잉여지역으로 구별되고, 용사중에 NiCrAlY중의 Al이 선택적으로 산화되어 Al2O3가 계면에 존재하였다. 복합코팅은 $NaCl-Na_2SO_4$ 용융염에서 $800{\sim}900^{\circ}C$, 50시간 동안 부식실험을 실시하였다. 부식생성물은 NiO, $Cr_2O_3$, ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$가 생성되는데, 부식이 진행되면서 용해되었다. 용융염 부식이 진행되는 동안에 Cr, Al이 외방확산하였고, Na, Cl, S는 내부로 확산되었다. 시간 및 온도뿐만 아니라 금속의 양이 증가할수록 코팅의 내식성은 저하되었다.

In this study we aimed to examine the co-doping effects of 1/6 mol% $Co_3O_4$ and 1/4 mol% $Cr_2O_3$ (Co:Cr = 1:1) on the reaction, microstructure, and electrical properties, such as the bulk defects and the grain boundary properties, of ZnO-$Bi_2O_3-Sb_2O_3$ (ZBS; Sb/Bi = 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0) varistors. The sintering and electrical properties of Co,Cr-doped ZBS, ZBS(CoCr) varistors were controlled using the Sb/Bi ratio. Pyrochlore ($Zn_2Bi_3Sb_3O_{14}$), ${\alpha}$-spinel ($Zn_7Sb_2O_{12}$), and ${\delta}-Bi_2O_3$ were formed in all systems. Pyrochlore was decomposed and promoted densification at lower temperature on heating in Sb/Bi = 1.0 by Cr rather than Co. A more homogeneous microstructure was obtained in all systems affected by ${\alpha}$-spinel. In ZBS(CoCr), the varistor characteristics were improved (non-linear coefficient, ${\alpha}$ = 20~63), and seemed to form ${Zn_i}^{{\cdot}{\cdot}}$(0.20 eV) and ${V_o}^{\cdot}$(0.33 eV) as dominant defects. From impedance and modulus spectroscopy, the grain boundaries were found to be composed of an electrically single barrier (0.94~1.1 eV) that is, however, somewhat sensitive to ambient oxygen with temperature. The phase development, densification, and microstructure were controlled by Cr rather than by Co but the electrical and grain boundary properties were controlled by Co rather than by Cr.

Epitaxial $CuCrO_2$ thin films have been grown on single crystal substrate of c-plane $Al_2O_3$, $SrTiO_3$, YSZ and Quarts by laser ablation of a $CuCrO_2$ target using 266nm radiation from a Nd:YAG laser. X-ray measurements indicate that the $CuCrO_2$ grows epitaxially on all substrate, with its orientation dependent on the kinds of substrates. Most of the layer were polycrystalline with (001), (015) and random as the dominant surface orientation on c-plane YSZ, $SrTiO_3$ and quarts substrate, respectively. (001) orientated $CuCrO_2$ grows on C-plane $Al_2O_3$ and YSZ substrate, (015) orientated $CuCrO_2$ films are found on c-plane $SrTiO_3$ substrate and random orientated $CuCrO_2$ films grows on quarts substrate. These data are compared with the in-plane orientation and the mismatch of the $CuCrO_2$ and each substrate lattices in an attempt to relate the preferred orientation to the plane of the sapphire on which it is grown. Further characterization show that the grain size of the films increases for a substrate temperature increase, whereas the electrical properties of $CuCrO_2$ thin films depend upon their crystalline orientation.

In this research, a thin layer of Cr was coated on the pure Ni and Inconel 601 by PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) in order to study the effect of Cr on the oxidation behavior at high temperature. Cr coated Inconel 601, which was oxidized at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours, formed a protective $Cr_2O_3$ oxide layer and the resistance to isothermai oxidation was improved. On the other hand, oxidation resistance of Cr coated Inconel 601 at 100$0^{\circ}C$ was not significantly improved, probably due to the formation or insufficient $Cr_2O_3$ layer. But, when oxidized at $1000^{\circ}C$ and $1100^{\circ}C$ for 100 hours, Cr coated Inconel 601 improved isothermal oxidation resistance by the formation of continuous $Cr_2O_3$ external scale and by the development of $Al_2O_3$ subscales. Cr coated Ni formed inner layer of $Cr_2O_3$ within almost pure NiO, which provided additional cation vacancies, thus increasing the mobility of Ni ions in this region. It is believed that this doping effect resulted in an increase in the observed oxidation rate compared with pure Ni and did not improve the oxidation resistance.

SiO$_{2}$를 첨가한 Cr$_{2}$O$_{3}$의 전기전도도와 미세구조를 산소분압, 온도, 그리고 SiO$_{2}$첨가량에 따라 측정하였다. 입자직경은 1$\mu\textrm{m}$보다 작다. 순수한 Cr$_{2}$O$_{3}$의 전기전도도는 산소분압과 온도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였으며 110$0^{\circ}C$부터 진성 영역이 나타났다. Cr$_{2}$O$_{3}$의 전기전도도는 SiO$_{2}$첨가로 감소하지만, 산소분압에 따른 변화는 SiO$_{2}$첨가와 무관하다.

Perovskite codoped with chromium and iron have been studied. Samples with $YAl_{0.96}(Cr_{0.04-x}Fe_x)O_3$(x=0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04) were prepared by solid state reaction at $1450^{\circ}C$ for 6 h and were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, Raman spectroscopy, SEM and UV-vis spectrophotometer. The color of the synthesized pigments were from red to dark brown(in bulk). Up to 0.02 mole $Fe_2O_3$ for substituting $Cr_2O_3$ development of color in lime-glaze gives good red color but as increasing amount of $Fe_2O_3$ and decreasing $Cr_2O_3$ proportionally produce from brownish red to brown. Increasing $Fe_2O_3$ amount lead to weaken crystal field relatively due to have smaller ionic radius than $Cr_2O_3$ ionic one. The UV-vis peaks were shifted to lower wavelength.

The electronic structures of $TCr_2O_4$ (T = Fe, Co, Ni) spinel oxides have been investigated by employing synchrotron radiation-based soft X ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). The measured 2p XAS spectra of transition-metal ions reveal that Cr ions are trivalent ($Cr^{3+}$), and all the T (T = Fe, Co, Ni) ions are divalent ($Fe^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$, $Ni^{2+}$). It is also found that most of T (T = Fe, Co, Ni) ions occupy the A sites under the tetrahedral symmetry, while Cr ions occupy mainly the B sites under the octahedral symmetry. These findings show that the structures of $TCr_2O_4$ (T = Fe, Co, Ni) are very close to the normal spinel structures. Based on these findings, it is expected that Jahn-Teller (JT) effects are important in $FeCr_2O_4$ and $NiCr_2O_4$. In contrast, $CoCr_2O_4$ maintains the cubic structure without having the JT distortion since both $Cr^{3+}$ and $Co^{2+}$ ions are non-JT ions. This work suggests that the antiferromagnetic interaction between $Cr^{3+}$ and $T^{2+}$ ions plays an important role in determining the magnetic properties of $TCr_2O_4$ (T = Fe, Co, Ni).

Dense Cr-precursor nano-hexaprisms were prepared by heating the Cr-nitrate aqueous solution containing Hexamethylenetetramine and polyvinylpyrrolidone, which were converted into porous $Cr_2O_3$ nano-hexaprisms containing nanoparticles by heat treatment of Cr-precursors at $600^{\circ}C$ for 2 h in air atmosphere. At the sensor temperature of $300^{\circ}C$, porous $Cr_2O_3$ nano-hexaprism showed the high response ($R_g/R_a$, $R_g$: resistance in gas, $R_a$: resistance in air) to 100 ppm $C_2H_5OH$ ($R_g/R_a=69.8$) with negligible cross-responses to 100 ppm CO and 5 ppm $C_6H_6$. The sensitive and selective detection of $C_2H_5OH$ in porous $Cr_2O_3$ nano-hexaprism were discussed in relation to the morphology of nanostructures.
