The effect of VC addition on the microstructural evolution of Fe-TiC cermet has been investigated. The microstructures of the Fe-TiC varied with the amount of VC addition. The addition of 1wt% VC enhanced the instability of liquid-solid interface ; the dissolving interface showed round shape instead of facetted one which was ascribed to the increase of lattice mismatch between TiC and solid-solution carbide. in the speci-men with 10wt% VC the new set of solid-solution carbide grains of uniform and small size was formed in-side coarse TiC particles by diffusion induced recrystallizatin (DIR). With increasing the heat-treatment time fine recrystallized grains were dispersed homogeneously in the matrix and resulted in the increase in fracture strength.

The influences of Gallium doping on the magnetic microstructures and corrosion behaviors of Nd-Fe-B-Ti-C alloys are investigated. The cooling rate for obtaining fully amorphous structure is raised, and the glassforming ability is improved by the Ga addition. The High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy image shows that the ${\alpha}$-Fe and $Fe_3B$ soft magnetic phases become granular surrounded by the $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ hard magnetic phase. The rms and $({\Delta}{\varphi})_{rms}$ value of Nd-Fe-B-Ti-C nanocomposite alloy thick ribbons in the typical topographic and magnetic force images detected by Magnetic Force Microscopy(MFM) decreases with 0.5 at% Ga addition. The corrosion resistances of $Nd_9Fe_{73}B_{12.6}C_{1.4}Ti_{4-x}Ga_x$ (x = 0, 0.5, 1) alloys are enhanced by the Ga addition. It can be attributed to the formation of more amorphous phases in the Ga doped samples.

Samples with compositions of 80 wt% Mg-14 wt% Ni-6 wt% $Fe_2O_3$ and 80 wt% Mg-14 wt% Ni-6 wt% Ti were prepared by mechanical grinding under hydrogen (reactive mechanical grinding). Their hydrogen absorptions during reactive mechanical grinding were examined. TGA and BET analysis were employed to investigate the hydrogen storage properties of the prepared alloys. TGA analysis of the $Mg-14Ni-6Fe_2O_3$ showed an absorbed hydrogen quantity of 6.91 wt% while that of Mg-14Ni-6Ti was 2.59 wt%. BET analysis showed that the specific surface areas of $Mg-14Ni-6Fe_2O_3$ and Mg-14Ni-6Ti after reactive mechanical grinding were $264m^2/g$ and $64m^2/g$, respectively. The larger absorbed hydrogen quantity and the larger specific surface area of $Mg-14Ni-6Fe_2O_3$ after RMG than those of Mg-14Ni-6Ti after RMG showed that the effects of $Fe_2O_3$ addition are much stronger than those of Ti addition during reactive mechanical grinding.

The reductive dechlorination of chlorinated organic compounds by soil minerals in soil and groundwater were carried out in this study. FeS, green rust, and magnetite were chosen as the representative soil minerals which were capable of degrading chlorinated compound in soil system. FeS was the most effective reductant in degradation of carbon tetrachloride. The reductive degradation of CT and 1,1,1-TCA by FeS was much faster than that of 1,2-DCB and 2,4-DCP. The reactivity of FeS was effectively improved by the addition of trace metals. The addition of Co to FeS suspension enhanced the reaction rate of 1,2-DCB by a factor of 46 compared to that by FeS without Co.

Thermal aging effect on NSR kinetics was studied over Pt/Co/Fe/Ba/$Al_2O_3$ catalyst. The amount of $NO_x$ uptake over Pt/Co/Fe/Ba/$Al_2O_3$ calcined at $400^{\circ}C$ increased with increasing NSR temperature from $200^{\circ}C$ to $400^{\circ}C$, where amount of $NO_x$ uptake is the highest at $400^{\circ}C$ with mol ratio of $NO_x$/Ba = 0.5. Thereafter, the amount of $NO_x$ uptake at $400^{\circ}C$ decreased with the higher calcination temperature, where Pt/Co/Fe/Ba/$Al_2O_3$ catalyst calcined at $700^{\circ}C$ showed an amount of $NO_x$ uptake with the mol ratio of $NO_x$/Ba=0.062. Result of XRD and NSR showed that Fe addition into Pt/Co/Fe/Ba/$Al_2O_3$ suppressed sintering of Pt crystallites and make $NO_x$ uptake larger, compared to no addition of Fe into Pt/Co/Fe/Ba/$Al_2O_3$ catalyst. From BET result, it was found that the change of specific surface area was relatively small by the thermal aging process. Therefore, it was found that the sintering of Pt crystallites caused the decrease of $NO_x$ uptake during NSR reaction and Fe played a role to suppress the sintering process of Pt crystallites caused by thermal aging.

The abrasion and impact wear resistance were investigated on the hardfacing weld dispersed with the recycled hard metal(HM). The HM was composed of the tungsten carbide(WC) reinforced metal matrix composite. The cored wire filled with the 25-35wt.% HM and 2-8wt.% of the alloying element, Fe-75Mn- 7C(FeMnC), was used for the gas metal arc(GMA) welding. By using the cored wire of the 25wt.% HM and FeMnC addition, the weld showed mostly constant wear loss for the abrasion as a function of the FeMnC content. This was due to the insufficient amount of the tungsten carbide formed during the GMA welding. The FeMnC addition to the 35wt.% HM did not improve the abrasion wear property since the amount of the tungsten carbide formed was decreased with respect to the FeMnC amount. The 6wt.% FeMnC addition to the 35wt.% HM exhibited the better impact wear resistance than the hardfacing weld by 40wt.% HM.

The iron incorporation method according to addition steps during the synthesis of iron incorporated MCM-41 was examined systematically. Iron addition during pH adjustment was more effective than the other addition steps which were addition to template agent solution or addition after mixing of template agent and sodium silicate solution. In case of iron addition after extraction of template agent from as-synthesized silica MCM-41, most of the iron was on the surface of pores not the frame work structure. Although the amount of iron addition was increased, there was a limit to the amount of iron incorporated into framework structure of MCM-41. The synthesized FeMCM-41 catalyst showed catalytic activities for propylene oxidation. Otherwise, there might be no attractive differences of catalytic activity among the addition steps of iron.

Z-type barium ferrite [($Ba_{3}Co_{0.8}Zn_{1.2}Fe_{24}O_{41}$, $Ba_{3+{\delta}}Co_{0.8}Zn_{1.2}Fe_{24}O_{41}$ ${\delta}$ = 3, 5, 7, 13 wt%. $Ba_{3}Co_{0.8}Zn_{1.2}Fe_{24+{\delta}}O_{41}$ ${\delta}$ = 5, 7, 10 wt% )] were synthesized using co-precipitation method. The microstructure and magnetic properties of synthesized particles were investigated. In all prepared particles M-type Ba ferrite is identified with Z-type Ba ferrite together. It is found that particles having 7 wt% for Ba and 5 wt% for Fe excess addition revealed high saturation magnetization, respectively. All synthesized particles showed relatively high coercivity for device application. This result may be attributed to the contribution of M-type Ba ferrite. Ba and Fe excess addition was not affected to the structural change of CoZnZ Ba ferrite. The certain amount of excess additions of Ba and Fe and the 2 step heat-treatment may be beneficial to the improvement of soft magnetic properties of Z-type barium hexa-ferrite

Soft magnetic properties and microstructural evolution of FeTaNC films were investigated, and compared with FeTaN and FeTaC films. Effects of substrate species (glass vs. $CaTiO_3$) on the magnetic properties were also investigated. Co-addition of N and C significantly enhance the grain refinments and magnetism, compared with N or C addition only. Good soft magnetic characteristics of coercivity of 0.17 Oe, permeability of 4000 (5MHz), and saturation flux density of 17 kG can be obtained in the FeTaNC in the relatively wide process windows. While these values appears to be similar to those of FeTaN on glass substrate, most distinctive difference between FeTaNC and FeTaN(or C) is in the effects of substrate. Whereas FeTaNC films show good magnetic characteristics for both glass and $CaTiO_3$ substrates, FeTaN(or C) films show significant degradation on the $CaTiO_3$ substrate.

The effects of Fe and Si additions on the microstructures and mechanical properties of aluminum bronze have been investigated. In a bar-type specimen cast in a die mold, the addition of Fe promoted the dendritic solidification of the ${\alpha}$ phase. The hardness values increased slightly in the Fe-added specimen with heat treatment, while these values was increased significantly in the specimens with Si or with combined additions of Fe and Si. When a centrifugal casting bush with combined addition of Fe and Si was heat treated, the FeSi compound within the matrix was finely dispersed, and was observed to be the origin of cup-cone type conical dimple failure in the tensile fracture surface. The mechanical properties of the heat treated centrifugal casting bushes, whose nominal alloy compositions were (Cu-7.0Al-0.8Fe-3.0Si)wt%, exhibited tensile strength of $703-781N/mm^2$, elongation of 6.6-11.7% and hardness of Hv 222.6-249.2. These high values of strength and elongation were attributed to the strengthening of the matrix due to the combined addition of Fe and Si, and to precipitation of fine the FeSi compound.
