본 연구에서는 액상가압공정을 이용하여 탄소나노섬유(carbon nano fiber, CNF)를 강화재로 하는 AZ91 마그네슘 복합재를 제조하였다. CNF의 분산성 및 마그네슘 합금 용탕과의 젖음성을 향상시키고자 CNF를 마이크로 크기의 실리콘 카바이드 입자(silicon carbide particle, $SiC_p$)와 혼합하였다. 또한, CNF와 $SiC_p$의 혼합분말에 무전해도금법으로 니켈을 코팅하였다. 액상가압공정에서 AZ91 용탕은 무처리된 CNF, CNF와 $SiC_p$의 혼합분말(CNF+$SiC_p$), 니켈 코팅된 CNF와 $SiC_p$의 복합분말((CNF+$SiC_p$)/Ni)과 같이 세 종류의 강화재로 정수압에 의해 함침하여 복합재를 제조하였다. 무처리된 CNF 강화 복합재료에서는 일부 CNF 응집체가 관찰되었으나 CNF+$SiC_p$ 및 (CNF+$SiC_p$)/Ni 강화 복합재에서는 CNF가 기지재 내에 균일하게 분산되었음을 확인하였다. 압축시험결과, CNF+$SiC_p$ 및 (CNF+$SiC_p$)/Ni 강화 복합재의 압축강도가 무처리된 CNF 강화 복합재보다 각각 38%와 28% 향상되었다.

반도체 기술의 경이적인 발전에 힘입이 최근 휴대용 이동통신기기, 노트북 컴퓨터 등 무선전자제품의 폭발적인 수요와 함께 이들의 소형화, 경량화가 요구되어 전원인 2차전지의 경량화, 고용량화, 장수명화의 필요성이 절실해졌다. Ni-MH 전지는 Ni-Cd전지에 비해 에너지밀도가 1.5~2배에 이르고 충방전 cycle이 길며 오염물질이 없어 환경 친화적이라는 장점이 었다. Ni-MH 전지의 성능은 음극재료인 수소저장합금에 의해 좌우되므로 수소저장능력이 크고 내식 성이 우수한 합금개발이 중요하다. $CaNi_5$는 수소저장능력이 크고 매장량이 많아 값이 싸다는 장점이 있지만 KOH 용액에서 내구성이 떨어진다는 단점이 있어 주로 Heat Pump 재료에만 사용이 제한되어왔다. 본 실험에서는 결정 구조의 nanocrystalline 및 amorphous화함으로써 해리압의 변화, 방전용량의 변화 등 새로운 전극 특성을 나타낸다고 보고되고 있는 MG (Mechanical Grinding)방법을 통해 CaNis 합금의 전극특성의 변화를 살펴보았고, 아울러 고상-기상반응에서 표면에 형성된 산화피막을 제거하여 안정한 불화물을 표면에 형성시킴으로써 불순물 가스에 대한 내구성을 높이고 활성화특성을 향상 시킨다고 보고되고있는 불화처리 방법을 이용하여 불화처리 시간을 달리하면서 용액 속에서의 pH의 변화, ICP분석, 전극의 성능 및 표면 특성변화를 충방전 test, SEM 등을 통해 고찰하였다.

Lanthanum aluminate($LaAlO_3$) film has been prepared on single crystal and metal substrates by dip coating method. Lanthanum acetate and aluminum were prepared via ligand exchange starting from lanthanum nitrate hexahydrate and aluminum nitrate hexahydrate in acetate glacial acetic acid solution after being refluxed. Coating solution was obtained by diluting the gel with methanol and 2-methoxyethanol to adjust the total cation concentration to 0.67 M. Precursor coated film was prepared by dip-coating with a speed of 25 mm/min on various substrates such as $LaAlO_3$ (001), MgO(001), $SrTiO_3$(001) single crystal, LMO/MgO/Ni-alloy. Thin films have been obtained by heat treating the precursor film at various temperatures from $600^{\circ}C{\sim}900^{\circ}C$ and various heating rate from $0.83^{\circ}C/min{\sim}1.25^{\circ}C/min$ under $Ar/O_2$ mixture containing 1000ppm oxygen. The films have been characterized by scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). XRD analysis for the prepared film showed that $LaAlO_3$ thin films with a preferred orientation of (100) plane parallel to substrate surface were obtained at $800^{\circ}C(1.11\;^{\circ}C/min)$ on LMO/MgO/Ni-alloy substrate, but the intensity decreased with the increase of heat treatment temperature.

The purpose of this paper was to investigate the effects of solution treatment time and Sr-modification on the microstructure and property of the Al-Si piston alloy. It was found that as-cast microstructures of unmodified and Sr-modified Al-Si alloys consisted of a coarse acicular plate of eutectic Si, $Cu_3NiAl_6$ and $Mg_2Si$ phases in the ${\alpha}$-Al matrix but different in size and morphology. Both size and inter-particle spacing of Si particles were significantly changed by increasing of the solution treatment time. After a short solution treatment, the coarse acicular plate of the eutectic Si appears to be fragmented. Fully modified microstructure of Sr-modified alloy can reduce the solution treatment time to shorter compared to unmodified alloy. The maximum of a peak hardness value is found in the very short solution treatment of both Al-Si piston alloys. Compared to 10 h solution treatment, the solution treatment of 2-4 h is sufficient to achieve appropriate microstructures and hardness. The short solution treatment is very useful to increase the productivity and to reduce the manufacturing cost of the Al-Si piston alloys.

Studies on particles formed in the laser melted zone (LMZ) of sensitized Ni base Alloy 600 have been carried out using microscopic equipments. Most of them were identified as TiN type and MgS type particles were also found in the cell boundaries. All of the particles were located in the cellular solidification region, but no particle was formed in the plane front solidification regions of the LMZ. Cr carbides which had formed during sensitization treatment were completely melted during laser surface melting and hardly re-precipitated during the matrix solidification.

Mg hydride has a high hydrogen capacity (7.6%), at high temperature, and is a lightweight and low cost material, thus it a promising hydrogen storage material. However, its high operation temperature and very slow reaction kinetics are obstacles to practical application. In order to overcome these disadvantages of Mg hydride, graphene powder was added to it. The addition of graphene has been shown to reduce the operating temperature of dehydrogenation. Moreover, in this report the environmental aspects of $MgH_x$-Graphene composites are investigated by means of the environmental life cycle assessment (LCA) method. $MgH_x$-Graphene mixture was prepared by hydrogen induced mechanical alloy (HIMA). The synthesized powder was characterized by XRD(X-ray Diffraction). The hydrogenation behaviors were evaluated by using a Sievert's type automatic PCT apparatus. Such evaluation of Materials also conducted in the LCA. From the result of P-C-T(Pressure-Composition-Temperature) curves, the $MgH_x$-3wt.% graphene composite was evaluated as having a 5.86wt.% maximum hydrogen storage capacity, at 523K. From absorption kinetic testing, the $MgH_x$-7wt.% graphene composite was evaluated as having a maximum 6.94wt.%/ms hydrogen absorption rate, at 573K. Environment evaluation results for the $MgH_x$-graphene composites and other materials indicated environmental impact from the electric power used and from the materials themselves.

7XXX aluminum alloy powders produced by the self-manufactured rotating disc atomizer were investigated to determine the influence of the atomization parameters on the particle size distributions in air atmosphere. The particle size distributions are almost always bimodal with the dominant mode on the large particle size. Average powder size of 7XXX aluminum alloy is $74/{\mu}m~125/{\mu}m$ when melt is poured with the rate of 9g /sec at 730$^{\circ}C$ on a rotating disc of 30㎜ diameter at 6300rad/sec. The mass of finer particle increased when disc diameter, angular velocity, pouring temperature increased and pouring rate decreased. The powder shapes of bimodal change from acicular to tear-drop and from tear-drop to ligament with increasing powder size. Powder shape was determined by the atomization mechanism and oxidation in liquid state. Microstructure of powders appeared to be cell and cellular dendrite. The SDAS of Al-7.9wt%Zn-2.4wt%Mg-1.5wt%Cu-0.9wt%Ni Powders is $0.8{\mu}m~1.0{\mu}m$ for the powders of $size＋44{\mu}m~53{\mu}m$ and $1.6{\mu}m∼1.8{\mu}m$ for the powders of $size＋105{\mu}m~125{\mu}m$, repectively.

Fractional melting process involves heating an alloy within its liquid-solid region simultaneously ejecting liquid from the solid-liquid mixture. The extent of the purification obtained is comparable to that obtained in multi-pass zone refining. The new fractional melting process in which centrifugal force was used for separating the liquid from the mixture has been developed and applied to the purification of the metallic grade. Refining ratio depends on partition ratio, cake wetness and diffusion in the solid, and it was controlled by various processing parameters such as rotating speed and heating rate. The new parameter called "refining partition coefficient" has been suggested to estimate the effects of processing variables on the refining ratio. Because major impurities in MG-silicon such as Fe, Al, Ni have a low segregation coefficient, good purification effect is expected. The results of refining MG-silicon(98%) showed that 3N-Si was obtained in refined solid of 50% of the original sample.
