In order to improve the weak mechanical properties of cast Mg alloys, Mg-$Zn_1Y_2$ (at%) alloy powders were synthesized using gas atomization, a typical rapid solidification process. The powders consist of fine dendrite structures less than 3 ${\mu}m$ in arm spacing. In order to fabricate a bulk form, the Mg powders were compacted using magnetic pulse compaction (MPC) under various processing parameters of pressure and temperature. The effects of the processing parameters on the microstructure and mechanical properties were systematically investigated.

$Mg_xNi_yZn_{1-x-y}Fe_2O_4$ ferrite powders were prepared by self-propagating high temperature synthesis followed by classifying with an ultrasonic wet-magnetic separation unit to get high pure nano-sized particles. The $Mg_xNi_yZn_{1-x-y}Fe_2O_4$ ferrites were well formed by using several powders like iron, nickel oxide, zinc oxide and magnesium oxide at 0.1 MPa of oxygen pressure. The ultrasonic wet-magnetic separation of pre-mechanical milled ferrite powders resulted in producing the powders with average size of 800 nm. The addition of a surfactant during the wet-magnetic separation process improved productivity more than twice. The coercive force, maximum magnetization and residual magnetization of the $Mg_xNi_yZn_{1-x-y}Fe_2O_4$ nano-powders with 800 nm size were 3651 A/m, $53.92Am^2/kg$ and $4.0Am^2/kg$, respectively.

It has been recently reported that nano-sized MgO single crystal powders emit ultraviolet by stimulation of electrons under vacuum condition. Therefore, in this study, nano-crystalline MgO powders were applied to a xenon plasma flat fluorescent lamp for LCD backlight to improve emission efficiency of the lamp by help of extra ultraviolet from nano-MgO. For comparison with nano-crystalline MgO powders, MgO nano-thin film was applied directly on phosphors inside a lamp panel through e-beam evaporation The luminance and efficiency of FFL with an addition of MgO nano-crystal powders on phosphors were improved by around 20%. Application of MgO thin film to phosphors worsened the emission characteristics of FFLs, even rather than FFL without MgO. The reason came from insufficient stimulation of phosphors by UV, crystallinity of MgO, and low secondary electron coefficient.

We investigated the property changes of MgO powders sintered at temperatures ranging from $700^{\circ}C$ to $1900^{\circ}C$ for 5minutes at a pressure of 2.7 GPa for a high-pressure high-temperature(HPHT) diamond synthesis process. The physical properties of the sintered MgO powders were characterized by optical microscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Vickers hardness tests, and by the apparent density, and X-ray diffractometry. An optical micro-analysis showed that white MgO powders became black after sintering due to carbon contamination from the graphite heat source. FE-SEM revealed the growth in the grain size of the MgO powders from $0.3{\mu}m$ to $50{\mu}m$ after sintering at $1700^{\circ}C$. The hardness and apparent density increased to $1800^{\circ}C$ while the samples were dedensified at $1900^{\circ}C$ due to the growth of isolated pores. According to the XRD analysis, no phase transformation occurred in the MgO powders. These results suggest that HPHT-sintered MgO powders can show an accelerated sintering process characterized by grain neck growth, pore connections, isolated pore growth and dedensification in 5 minutes, while these processes with the conventional sintering process take at least 5 hours.

The sensory characteristics of bread prepared with the addition of Angelica plant(Bakluncho) and Jujube(Daechu) powders were investigated The moisture, crude protein, as reducing sugar and vitamin C content of Angelica plant(Bakluncho) powders were 7.78%, 6.07%, 7.37%, 6.13% and 50.10 mg% respectively, and those of Jujube(Daechu) powders were 11.19%, 4.43%, 2.36%, 14.23% and 49.20 mg% respectively. Lightness value decreased but redness and yellowness values increased with increasing natural pigment powders content. The mechanical hardness of the bread decreased with the addition of 3% Angelica plant(Bakluncho) powders, but increased with the addition of 1% and 5% Angelica plant(Bakluncho) powders. The mechanical hardness of bread decreased with the addition of 1% and 3% Jujube(Daechu) powders, but increased with the addition of 5% Jujube(Daechu) powders. In sensory characteristics, the crust color, mb color, moistness and springiness decreased, but aroma and hardness increased with the increasing natural pigment powders content. The savory taste and overall quality of breads with 1% Angelica plant(Bakluncho) powders and 3% Jujube(Daechu) powders were higher than those of the control without my addition. A negative correlation was observed between Hunter's color value and overall quality of the bread prepared with addition of Angelica plant(Bakluncho) and Jujube(Daechu) powders.

The light Mg alloys bearing the remarkably high strength, corrosion resistance and elevated temperature stability stand on the center of interest. The accomplishment so far is, however, only by alloy modification without any consideration on the rapid solidification effect. This work is to report not only the effect of rapid solidification of $MgZn_{4.3}Y_{0.7}$ alloy powders, but the extrusion behavior on the materials properties. The average grain size of the atomized powders was about $3-4{\mu}m$. The extrusion was carried out with the area reduction ratio of 10:1 to 15:1. As the ratio increased, homogeneous microstructure was obtained, and the mechanical properties such as tensile strength and elongation were simultaneously increased.

The $Mg_2Ni$ hydrogen storage alloys which have much higher theoretical discharge capacity than $AB_5$ and $AB_2$ type alloys were synthesized by mechanical alloying with some additives and subjected to the electrochemical measurements. Two different processes were employed to the synthesis of $Mg_2Ni$ alloys with using the high energy ball mill SPEX 8000. One was only ball milling, 12 hrs, the Mg and Ni powders for 12 hrs with additives such as $AB_5$, Ni, Co and Cu powders. In the other process the Mg and Ni powders were ball milled for 1 hr first and then heat treated at $300{\sim}400^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr to get $Mg_2Ni$ alloy, and finally the $Mg_2Ni$ alloy powders were ball milled with the additives for 12 hrs. The alloy powders prepared were compacted at room temperature under $7.64tons/cm^2$ into disk type electrodes for the electrochemical measurements. The experimntal results showed that the electrodes prepared with the heat treated alloy powders had a higher discharge capacities than those without heat treatment. The addition of Ni caused an increase of the discharge capacity and the addition of Co improved the cycling characteristics. The electrode prepared by ball milling of $Mg_2Ni$ and 10wt% Ni powders has showed the highest discharge capacity, 546mAh/g.alloy, which was 55% of the theoretical capacity.

In spray pyrolysis, the effects of the preparation temperature, flow rate of the carrier gas and concentration of the spray solution on characteristics such as the morphology, size, and emission intensity of $Ca_8Mg(SiO_4)_4Cl_2:Eu^{2+}$ phosphor powders under long-wavelength ultraviolet light were investigated. The phosphor powders obtained post-treatment had a range of micron sizes with regular morphologies. However, the composition, crystal structure and photoluminescence intensity of the phosphor powders were affected by the preparation conditions of the precursor powders. The $Ca_8Mg(SiO_4)_4Cl_2:Eu^{2+}$ phosphor powders prepared at temperatures that were lower and higher than $700^{\circ}C$ had low photoluminescence intensities due to deficiencies related to the of Cl component. The phosphor powders with the deficient Cl component had impurity peaks of $Ca_2SiO_4$. The optimum flow rates of the carrier gas in the preparation of the $Ca_8Mg(SiO_4)_4Cl_2:Eu^{2+}$ phosphor powders with high photoluminescence intensities and regular morphologies were between 40 and 60 l/minute. Phosphor powders prepared from a spray solution above 0.5 M had regular morphologies and high photoluminescence intensities.

Titanium carbides are widely used for cutting tools and grinding wheels, because of their superior physical properties such as high melting temperature, high hardness, high wear resistance, good thermal conductivity and excellent thermal shock resistance. The common synthesizing method for the titanium carbide powders is carbo-thermal reduction from the mixtures of titanium oxide($TiO_2$) and carbon black. The purpose of the present research is to fabricate nano TiC powders using titanium salt and titanium hydride by the mechanochemical process(MCP). The initial elements used in this experiment are liquid $TiCl_4$(99.9%), $TiH_2$(99.9%) and active carbon(<$32{\mu}m$, 99.9%). Mg powders were added to the $TiCl_4$ solution in order to induce the reaction with Cl-. The weight ratios of the carbon and Mg powders were theoretically calculated. The TiC and $MgCl_2$ powders were milled in the planetary milling jar for 10 hours. The 40 nm TiC powders were fabricated by wet milling for 4 hours from the $TiCl_4$+C+Mg solution, and 300 nm TiC particles were obtained by using titanium hydride.
