The purpose of this research was to develop a low Ni austenitic cast iron through replacing Ni by Cu and Mn because they are cheaper than Ni. The effect of the Cu content (6-12 wt%) on the microstructure characteristics was investigated in Fe-3%C-16%(Ni+Cu+Mn) cast iron. Contrary to general effect of the Cu on cast iron, the result of the microstructure analysis indicated that bainite and cementite were formed in high Cu content (>8 wt%Cu). A crystallized Cu-solution (Cu-Mn) phase and MnS in the Cu-solution were formed. The quantity of those phases increased as the Cu content increased. Consequently, the high Cu content in the composition ratio (Ni+Cu+Mn=16%) caused the formation of Cu-Mn/MnS and those phases decreased the effect of Cu and Mn on austenite formation. For this reason, bainite and cementite were formed in high Cu content.

The effect of Cu content on microstructure and mechanical properties of nano-sized Cu dispersed $Al_2O_3(Al_2O_3/Cu)$ nanocomposites was investigated. The nanocomposites with Cu content of 2.5 to 10 vol% were prepared by reduction and hot-pressing of $Al_2O_3/CuO$ powder mixtures. The nanocomposites with Cu content of 2.5 and 5vol% exhibited the maximum fracture strength of 820MPa and enhanced toughness compared with monolithic $Al_2O_3$. The strengthening was mainly attributed to the refinement of $Al_2O_3$ matrix grains. The toughening mechanism was discussed by the observed microstructural feature based on crack bridging.

Cu-Ni를 기저층으로 한 (100) Cu/Co 인공초격자에서 기저층에 첨가된 니켈의 함량이 자기저항에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 니켈의 함량이 증가하면서 인공초격자의 우선 방위가 fcc(100)에서 fcc(111)으로 변화하였는데 이는 기저층의 우선 방위가 바뀌었기 때문인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 니켈의 함량이 6%일때 [Cu(19 .angs. )/Co(30 .angs. )]/sub 20/ | Cu-6%Ni(200 .angs. )/Si 시편의 경우에 177 Oe에서 26.7%의 큰 자기저 항을 얻을 수 있었다.

Effect of Cu content on microstructural and magnetic properties of a $(Nd_{26.06},Dy_{6.51})Fe_{bal.}$ $Cu_xB_{0.97}$(wt.%), (x = 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5) strip-cast was studied. The average inter-lamellar spacing in the free surface and wheel side of the strip cast increased as the Cu content increases. The grain uniformity, the grain alignment, and (00L) texture of the strip cast increased with Cu contents up to 0.4 wt.%. These microstructural changes were attributed to the decrease of the effective cooling rate of the melted alloy caused by the decrease of the melting temperature of resulting from Cu addition. Coercivity and remanence were increased because of the grain alignment and (00L) texture improvement with Cu contents up to 0.4 wt.%.

Cu as a tramp element has been reported to encourage transverse cracking upon straightening operation during continuous casting or mini-mill processing. Therefore, the hot workability of steels containing Cu should be investigated. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of Cu contents on the hot ductility of low carbon steels by using hot compression test. Hot compression test was carried out using a Gleeble. The specimens were heated to $1300^{\circ}C$ for solution treatment and then held for 300s before cooling at a rate of $1^{\circ}C/s$ to test temperatures in the range of $650{\sim}1150^{\circ}C$ ($50^{\circ}C$ intervals) with strain rate of $5{\times}10^{-3}/s$. In Cu containing steels, the hot ductility was decreased with increasing Cu content at high temperature region which is to be attributed to copper enriched phase formed at scale/steel interface, and low hot ductility with increasing Cu content at low temperature region is attributable to the strengthening of matrix by the formation of ${\varepsilon}-Cu$. The width of ductility trough region was decreased with increasing Cu content.

The effect of Cu substitution on the properties of NiZn ferrites sintered at low temperature with composition is investigated. The densification of NiCuZn ferrite in dependent upon Cu content in the composition of (N/sub 0.5-x/Cu/sub x/ Zn/sub 0.5/O)(Fe/sub 2/O/sub 3/)/sub 0.98/. Electrical resistivity is maximum at x=0.2. Dispersion characteristics of complex permeability of (Ni/sub 0.5-x/ Cu/sub x/Zn/sub 0.5/O)(Fe/sub 2/O/sub 3)/sub 0.98/ is observed above x=0.3 and relaxation frequency increases with higher temperature. The magnetic loss of NiCuZn ferrite is occurred above the Cu content x=0.3 at a low frequency.

Sn-Sb-Cu-Ni-Cd whitemetal에서 Cu와 Sb가 미세조직과 기계적 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. Cu 함량이 0.05 wt%인 whitemetal에서는 화합물 상이 관찰되지 않았지만 Cu 함량이 증가함에 따라 별 모양 또는 침상 $Cu_6Sn_5$ 상이 관찰되었다. 인장강도는 Cu 함량이 5% 까지는 증가하다가 그 이상에서는 거의 일정하게 유지되었다. 반면에 경도는 경질상이 증가하기 때문에 계속 증가하였다. 또한 Sb 함량이 증가함에 따라 입방형 SbSn 상이 $Cu_6Sn_5$ 상과 함께 관찰되었다. 인장강도와 경도는 Sb 함량이 많아질수록 증가하였고 연선율은 감소하였다.

Ni 혹은 Cu 첨가에 따른 고규소 고용강화 페라이트계 구상흑연주철의 기계적 성질과 미세조직 변화를 실험적으로 확인하기 위해, Ni 및 Cu 투입량을 3.0wt% 이내 그리고 0.9wt% 이내에서 조절하여 시편단위 사형주조를 진행하였다. 실험 결과 고용강화 페라이트계 구상흑연주철 내 Ni 혹은 Cu 함량이 증가하면 합금 내 강도 특성과 경도가 증가하였고 연성은 감소하였다. 한편, 합금 내 Ni 및 Cu 함량이 비슷한 경우, Ni이 포함된 고용강화 페라이트계 구상흑연주철보다 Cu가 포함된 합금이 더 높은 펄라이트 분율을 나타내었다. Ni이 포함된 고용강화 페라이트계 구상흑연주철의 미세조직에 미치는 기계적 성질의 경우에는 펄라이트 분율이 10% 이내 일 때 강도, 경도, 연신율이 우수하였으나, 펄라이트 분율이 10% 이상 증가할 경우 급격한 연신율 감소를 나타내었다. 한편, Cu가 첨가된 고용강화 페라이트계 구상흑연주철의 경우에는 펄라이트 분율 증가에 따라 강도와 경도는 점점 증가하였으며 연신율은 점점 감소하는것을 확인하였다. 고용강화 페라이트계 구상흑연주철 내 첨가원소에 따른 이러한 미세조직과 기계적 성질 차이는 Cu 대비 Ni의 낮은 펄라이트 안정화 효과와 첨가원소 함량에 따른 기지상 강화효과 차이가 복합적으로 작용하였기 때문으로 판단된다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the characteristics of pb-free $Zn-(3\~6)\%Al-(1\~6)\%Cu$ solder alloys for ultra high temperature(>573K) which applied to air craft, space satellite, automotive, oil, gas well exploration and data logging of geo-thermal wells. Melting range, solderability, electric resistivity, microstructure and mechanical properties were examined with solder alloys casted in Ar gas atmosphere. $Zn-4\%Al-(1\~3)\%Cu,\;Zn-5\%Al-(2\~4)\%Cu\;and\;Zn-6\%Al-(3\~5)\%Cu$ alloys satisfied the optimum melting range of 643 to 673k for ultra high temperature solder. A melting temperature increased with increasing Cu content, but decreased with increasing Al content. The spreadability was improved with increasing hi content. But the content of Cu had no effect on the spreadability. The electric resistivity was lowered with increasing Al and decreasing Cu content. In all Zn-Al-Cu solder alloys, primary dendritic $\varepsilon$ phase(Zn-Cu), dendritic $\eta$ phase(Zn-Cu-Al), $\alpha(Al-Zn)-\eta$ eutectic and eutectoid phase were observed. The addition of Al increased the volume fraction of eutectic and eutectoid phase and it decreased f phases. Also, the addition of Cu increased slightly the volume fraction of e, the eutectic and eutectoid phases. With increasing total content of Al and Cu, a hardness and a tensile strength were linearly increased, but anelongation was linearly decreased.

The effect of Cu content on hydrogen reduction behavior of ball-milled $WO_3$-CuO nanocomposite powders was investigated. Hydrogen reduction behavior and reduction percent(${\alpha}$) of nanopowders were characterized by thermogravimetry (TG) and hygrometry measurements. Activation energy for hydrogen reduction of $WO_3$ nanopowders with different Cu content was calculated at each heating rate and reduction percent(${\alpha}$). The activation energy for reduction of $WO_3$ obtained in this study existed in the ranging from 129 to 139 kJ/mol, which was in accordance with the activation energy for $WO_3$ powder reduction of conventional micron-sized.
