We have studied the superconducting properties and flux pinning enhancement of $(Y_{0.5}Nd_{0.25}Sm_{0.25})_{1.8}Ba_{2.4}Cu_{3.4}O_y$ [(YNS)-1.8] composite oxides by melt growth process in air. A sample prepared by this method showed well-textured microstructure, and $(Y_{0.5}Nd_{0.25}Sm_{0.25})_2BaCuO_5$ [(YNS)211] nonsuperconducting particles were uniformly dispersed in large (YNS)123 superconducting matrix. The sample showed a sharp superconducting transition at 91 K. The magnetization measurements of the (YSN)-1.8 sample exhibited the enhanced flux pinning, compared with $YBa_2Cu_3O_y$ (Y-123) sample without Sm and Nd.

Large grain YBCO bulk superconductors are fabricated by the top-seeded melt growth (TSMG) or top-seeded infiltration growth (TSIG) method. Both growth methods use at least one of $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-{\delta}}$, $Y_2BaCuO_5$, $BaCuO_3$ pre-reacted precursor powders. However, the synthesis of the pre-reacted powders includes multiple calcination runs which are cost-bearing and time-consuming. In this work, we report the successful growth of single-domain YBCO bulk superconductors directly by using the powder compact that has been pressed from the mixture of $Y_2O_3$, $BaCuO_3$ and CuO powders without any intermediate grinding step. Single-domain YBCO bulk superconductor has been also prepared by using $Y_2O_3$, $BaO_2$ and CuO powders without intermediate grinding step. Investigations on the trapped magnetic field and microstructure of the melt-processed specimen show that the elimination of the repeated processes of calcinations and pulverization has hardly affected on the crystal growth and the magnetic properties of the grown YBCO bulk superconductors. However, it is thought that the presence of residual carbon affects on the size of Y211 particles in melt-processed YBCO bulk superconductor.

Sm 원소가 첨가된 $(Sm/Y)_{1.8}Ba_{2.4}Cu_{3.4}O_{7-x}$[이하 (Sm/Y)1.8] 고온초전도체를 국부용융성장법을 이용해 대기 중에서 용융성장실험을 하였다. 초기 (Sm/Y)1.8 초전도체 시편은 rubber 몰드를 이용해 냉간정수압성형(CIP) 과정을 거쳐 길이 방향 원통형상으로 제조되었다. 이렇게 얻어진 (Sm/Y)1.8 초전도체는 용융온도 및 성장속도에 따라 광학현미경, TEM그리고 SQUID magnetometer를 이용해 미세구조 및 초전도특성을 평가하였다. 이 결과 (Sm/Y)1.8 초전도체의 최적의 용융온도 및 성장속도는 $1085^{\circ}C$에서 3.5mm/hr로 나타났다. 특히 일방향으로 용융성장된 (Sm/Y)1.8 초전도체의 광학현미경 및 TEM에 의하 미세구조 관측 결과, 초전도상인 (Sm/Y)123 matrix내에 비초전도상인 (Sm/Y)211 inclusions이 균질하게 분포되어 있는 것이 관측되었다. 초전도특성을 평가한 결과 용융성장된 (Sm/Y)1.8초전도체는 90K에서 임계온도가 시작되어 77K이상의 온도에서 포화되는 특성을 보였다.

SiC 보강재 표면에 도금된 Cu금속층이 Al/SiC복합재료의 젖음성에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 보강재에 대한 금속층의 도금은 무전해도금법을 이용하였으며, Al/SiC 복합재료의 제조는 텅스텐 발열체 진공로의$ 670^{\circ}C$~$900^{\circ}C$에서 제조하여 보강재와 기지간의 접촉부위를 촬영하여 젖음성을 측정하였다 젖음성 측정 결과 보강재에 도금된 Cu층은 젖음성을 향상시켰고, 젖음성의 개선은 보강재에 도금된 금속층과 기지간의 반응에 의해 계면에너지를 변화시킴으로서 나타난 결과이며. 반응을 통한 산화피막의 배제도 영향을 미친 것으로 판단된다

The aging effects on the characteristics of the melt spun Cu based shape memory alloys have been investigated by the microhardness test, X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. After aged for specific times, hardness of the ribbons began to increase and shape memory capacity diminished. At the initial stage of aging the austenitic transformation temperatures increased gradually, but at last became nearly constant: That is, the aging deteriorated the thermal stability. The increase in hardness was due to the formation of the $\gamma_2$ precipitates. The loss in the shape memory capacity was due to the decrement of solute atoms in the matrix by the formation of the $\gamma_2$ precipitates. In this study, it was confirmed that Mn is an effective element for Improving the thermal stability.

It is well known what is impossible to refine primary and eutectic Si simultaneously by addition of both Cu-P and Sr(or Na). Because of the formation of compound $Sr_3P_2(or Na_3P)$ in the melt, in the result, both effects disappear. In this study Al-Cu-P alloy that comprises AlP compounds inside is added in the melt with Sr simultaneously. As AlP compounds that act on nucleation sites of primary Si are not formed but added directly an the melt, it is difficult to form $Sr_3P_2$ by reaction with Sr. Therefore it is possible to refine primary and eutectic Si simultaneously in the general casting process by use of Al-Cu-P alloy and Sr.

With an aim of comparison, single grain Y-Ba-Cu-O (YBCO) bulk superconductors were fabricated using a liquid infiltration growth (LIG) process and a conventional melt growth (MTG) process with top seeding. The MTG process uses an $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$(Y123) powder as a precursor, while the LIG process uses $Y_2BaCuO_5(Y211)/Ba_3Cu_5O_8(Y035)$ pre-forms. The growth of a single Y123 domain on the top seed was successful in the both processes. Different feature between the two processes is the interior microstructure regarding the critical current density ($J_c$). The LIG-processed YBCO sample showed a lower porosity, more uniform distribution of Y211 particles and the enhanced Y211 refinement compared to the conventional MTG process. The $J_c$ improvement in the LIG process is attributed to the dispersion of finer Y211 particles as well as lower porosity within the Y123 superconducting matrix.

YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{x}$ samples with different amounts of $Y_2$BaCuO$_{5}$ were prepared by MPMG (Melt Powder Melt Growth) method. The effects on the size of initial particles and Ag addition for $Y_2$BaCuO$_{5}$ distribution in YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{x}$ were invesgated. The samples prepared by the melting process usually have large grains up to several ㎣ and precipitates of $Y_2$BaCuO$_{5}$. The distribution of the $Y_2$BaCuO$_{5}$ particles in the samples depends on the size of initial particles and the amounts of Ag addition.Ag addition.

Carbon nannofiber reinforced Cu matrix composite has potential applications for electrically conducting materials having high strength and electrical conductivity. In this study, we have developed fabrication technology of the nanocomposites using a liquid pressing process. The process is to use the low pressure for infiltration of Cu melt into carbon nanofiber mat as the Cu melt is pressurized directly. The minimum pressure required for infiltration was calculated from force balance equation, permeability measurement and compaction behavior of carbon nanofiber. Also, the melting temperature and the holding time have been optimized.

Melting and re-solidification nature of $SmBa_2Cu_3O_{7-y}$ (Sm123) grains in Ba-Cu-O (Ba:Cu=3:5) liquid containing 0.7 at.% yttrium were investigated at the temperature lower than its melt point. When Sm123 grains/liquid powder compacts were heated to a temperature between two melting points of Ba-Cu-O liquid ($1000^{\circ}C$) and a Sm123 phase ($1060^{\circ}C$) and held at this temperature for appropriate time, Sm123 grains melted partly in the liquid that was formed by melting of the liquid-forming powder. During subsequent slow cooling, (Sm,Y)$Ba_2Cu_3O_{7-y}$ solidified at the outer parts of the unmelted Sm12 grains, which is distinguished from the core regions by lower $Sm_2BaCuO_5$ (211) density.
