In this study, we investigate the effects of austempering heat treatment on the processing window and mechanical properties in cast and hot-rolled Fe-0.7 C-2.3 Si-0.3 Mn steel. Each specimens were austenitised at $900^{\circ}C$ for 7 min, and austempered at $260^{\circ}C,\;320^{\circ}C$, and $380^{\circ}C$ for the various periods of time from 2 min to 240 min. After heat treatment, the evaluation of stage I and stage II as performed by optical metallography, XRD, hardness test. Both cast and hot rolled specimens had similar processing window. So grain size effect is not important to the austempered high carbon high silicon cast steel. When the austempering temperature was $260^{\circ}C$, the microstructure consisted of the lower ausferrite while the upper ausferrite structure was formed at $380^{\circ}C$. As the austempering temperature increases from 260 to $380^{\circ}C$, the strength and hardness decreased, elongaton and volume fraction of austenite increased. In addition, there was no change of mechanical properties between cast and hot-rolled specimens.

The effects of Cr, Mo or B additions were investigated on $B2{\leftrightarrow}DO_3$ structural transition temperature $(T_C)$ and mechanical properties of Fe-28at.%Al. The raw materials were arc-melted in vacuum and then subjected to the following heat-treatments to maximize the $DO_3$ ordered structure : $1000^{\circ}C/7days$, slowly cooled to $500^{\circ}C$ and then held for 5 days. In the effect on the grain refinment, the addition of alloying element B was the most effective. The addition of Cr or Mo had little effect. When 1at.%Mo was added, $T_c$ increase about $30^{\circ}C$, but Cr had a very little effect on $T_c$. On the contrary, when B was added, $T_c$ was apt to come down minutely. In the additional effect of alloying element on the mechanical properties, Cr was apt to decrease the microvickers hardness and yield strength, Mo and B didn't have much effect. In the case of compressure strength test, the effect of the environment on the yield strength was contrary to the result of the tensile strength test.

The structure and mechanical properties of the extruded specimens were investigated in rapid solidified Al-(1, 3, 5) Cr alloys after mechanical alloying. Finer lamellar microstructure could no longer be resolved in the bars obtained by extrusion of the spherical particles after 200 min. of processing time. The structure of extruded bars are highly depended on the processing time of splats. The isothermal annealing of the extruded bars showed that all the alloys had good thermal stability up to $400^{\circ}C$ and did not show the recrystallization phenomena. Severe working of Al-(1, 3, 5) Cr splats produced a very fine grain size and substructural strengthening (high dislocation density and fine grain size). Effects of mechanical alloying on the thermal stability of the extruded bars Al-(1, 3, 5) Cr alloys decreases, with increasing Cr content. But the ultimate tensile Strength in the extruded bars increases with increasing Cr content.

Workability and aging behavior of Mg-Li-Al alloys hate been investigated with variation of Li and Al contents. It was found that ${\alpha}$(HCP) + ${\beta}$(BCC) two phase structure reveals better workability than ${\alpha}$(HCP) single phase structure. Increase of workability is attributed to the additional slip on pyramidal and prism planes besides the slip on basal plane of HCP Mg. Workability of ${\alpha}$+${\beta}$ two phase structure is improved with increased amount of Al. Among alloys studied in the present study, reduction limit up to 62 % was obtained for Mg-8.08Li-4.26Al. MgL$i_2$Al(${\theta}$) aging precipitation was observed in ${\alpha}$+ ${\beta}$ two phase structure, while it was not in a single phase structure. Result of microhardness reveals peak hardness for ${\alpha}$ +${\beta}$ two phase structure due to $\theta$ precipitate in ${\theta}$ phase. In ${\alpha}$+${\beta}$ two phase Mg-Li-Al alloys, hardness increased with increasing amount of Al. It is believed that addition of Al raised the amount Al partition in u phase and ${\theta}$ precipitation in ${\beta}$ phase.

In this study, the wear performance of manganese phosphate coating on SM45C with addition agent of Tartaric acid and Citric acid were investigated. The Surface morphology of manganese phosphate coating was examined by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). It is found that Mn, P, Fe, O and C. The crystal structure and thee composition was analysis and determined by using XRD. The XRD results indicated that manganese phosphate coatings are mainly composed of $(Mn,Fe)_5H_2(PO_4)_44H_2O$ and consists of a lot of close packed lump crystalline. Based on the time dependence of morphology and the weight of manganese phosphate coating, it shows that the phosphating process mainly includes three stages: corrosion of the substrate, creation and growth of phosphate crystal nucleus and thickening of manganese phosphate coating. The wear tests were performed in a ball on disc apparatus as per ASTM G-99 Standard. It was showed that the initial wear was quite high followed by low sludge.

For enhanced cavitation erosion resistance of vessel propellers, an electroless Ni-P plating method was introduced to form a coating layer with high hardness on the surface of Cu alloy (CAC703C) used as vessel propeller material. An electroless Ni-P plating reaction generated by Fe atoms in the Cu alloy occurred, forming a uniform amorphous layer with P content of ~10 wt%. The amorphous layer transformed to (Ni3P+Ni) two phase structure after heat treatment. Cavitation erosion tests following the ASTM G-32 standard were carried out to relate the microstructural changes by heat treatment and the cavitation erosion resistance in distilled water and 3.5 wt% NaCl solutions. It was possible to obtain excellent cavitation erosion resistance through careful microstructural control of the coating layer, demonstrating that this electroless Ni-P plating process is a viable coating process for the enhancement of the cavitation erosion resistance of vessel propellers.

Magnetic properties of nanostructured materials are affected in complicated manner by their microstructure such as grain size, internal strain and crystal structure. Thus, studies on the synthesis of nanostructured materials with controlled microstructure are necessary for a significant improvement in magnetic properties. It is well known that when Fe-Co alloy undergoes ordering transformation, soft magnetic properties could be obtained. There are many reports that the magnetic properties of the materials can be changed with variation of grain size. In the present work, nanostructured Fe-50at.%Co alloy powder produced by hydrogen reduction process (HRP) starting with two oxide powder mixtures of $Fe_2O_3\;and\; Co_3O_4$. The mean grain size of the HRP powders was about 40 nm and coercivity of the: powders was about 43 Oe.

$TiO_2$ thin films were deposited by DC reactive magnetron sputtering with variations in sputtering parameter such as Ar and $O_2$ flow rate, DC power, substrate temperature and magnetic field. Deposition rate, crystal structure, chemical bond of $TiO_2$ films on the deposition conditions were investigated by Alpha-step, X-ray Diffractometer(XRD), X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy(XPS). When the DC power was applied at 500watt, deposition rate of $TiO_2$ film was about 480A/min. $TiO_2$ films coated under the deposition condition of 15sccm Ar and 7~10sccm $O_2$ flow rate was only observed anatase phase. With increasing substrate temperature from RT to $300^{\circ}C$, crystal orientation of $TiO_2$ films variously became.

The effect of interlamellar spacing on microstructural stability at high temperature was studied for unidirectionally solidified ternary $Ni\;/\;Ni_3Al-Ni_3$ Nb and binary $Ni-Ni_3Nb$ eutectic composite. The interlamellar spacing of both alloy systems were varied with the growth rate according to $"{\lambda}^2R=constant"$ relationship. As a result of isothermal heat treatments at high temperature it was considered that coarsening of lamellar structure was due to concentration gradient between the tip with a relatively small radius of curvature and the side of the thick lamellae with a larger radius of the opposite sign. Fault density was increased as the interlamellar spacing decreased. Therefore it is also considered that the higher coarsening rate of the specimen with the smaller interlamellar spacing was due to higher fault density. And the diference of coarsening rate between $Ni\;/\;Ni_3Al-Ni_3Nb$ and $Ni-Ni_3Nb$ eutectic composites was not observed when the interlamellar spacing was similar in size. This means that the presence of ${\gamma}'$ in ${\gamma}\;/\;{\gamma}'\;-{\delta}$ eutectic had no b arrier effect to diffusion through the ${\gamma}$ matrix.
