In order to improve the low wear resistance of Ti-6Al-4V alloy, plasma carburization treatment was newly carried out without consumption of its good specific strength and fatigue life over the temperature. Effect of the plasma carburization was analyzed and compared with the non-treated alloy by microstructural observation, structure characterization and mechanical property test. The plasma treated alloy formed a carburized layer of about 150$\mu\textrm{m}$ in depth from the surface, where a fine and hard particles of TiC and $V_4C_3$ were homogeneously dispersed through the layer. It was also found that an increase of the wear resistance, fatigue life and hardness, due to the hard and fine dispersoids.

자수정은 우리나라에서 산출되어 수출시장이 큰 준보석이다. 원석을 가공하여 최종 장신구제품을 제작하는데 실제 원석에서는 연수정, 자수정, 백수정이 함께 산출되어 이들의 품위를 정량적으로 평가하여 원석가격을 산출하는 것과 아직 확보되지 않은 자수정의 정량적 감정 기술이 필요하다. 이제까지는 아쉽게도 육안 판별과 경험에 의존하였으나 투과전자 현미경과 진동시편자력계측정을 통하여 3가지 원석의 특성을 명확히 구별하는 것이 가능하였다. 또한 FTIR(Fourier transformation infra-red) 측정을 통하여 고가 자수정의 정량품질 확인도 가능하였다. 이러한 방법은 원석의 품위를 확인하는데 효과적이고 최초 원석 상태에서의 고가 자수정의 함량을 평가할 수 있는 우수한 지표가 될 수 있었다.

A series of load-relaxation tests and tensile tests were conducted to study the high temperature deformation mechanism of fine duplex gamma TiAl alloy at temperatures ranging from 800 to 105$0^{\circ}C$. Results of load relaxation test showed that deformation behavior at a small imposed strain ($\varepsilon$≒0.05) was dominated by dislocation glide and dislocation climb. To investigate the deformation behavior at a large amount of strain, the processing map was constructed using a dynamic materials model. Two domains were characterized in the processing map obtained at a strain level of 0.6. One domain was found at the region of 98$0^{\circ}C$ and $10^{-3}/sec$ with a peak efficiency of 48%, which was identified as a domain of dynamic recrystallization from the microstructural observation. The order was observed at the region of 125$0^{\circ}C$ and $10^{-4}/sec$ with a peak efficiency of 64%. The strain rate sensitivity measured indicates that the material was deformed by the superplasticity in the region.

In this study we manufacture a Ni-Cr-B-Si +WC/12Co composite coating layer on a Cu base material using a laser cladding (LC) process, and investigate the microstructural and mechanical properties of the LC coating and Ni electroplating layers (reference material). The initial powder used for the LC coating layer is a powder feedstock with an average particle size of $125{\mu}m$. To identify the microstructural and mechanical properties, OM, SEM, XRD, room and high temperature hardness, and wear tests are implemented. Microstructural observation of the initial powder and LC coating layer confirm the layer is composed mainly of ${\gamma}-Ni$ phases and WC and $Cr_{23}C_6$ carbides. The measured hardness of the LC coating and Ni electroplating layers are 653 and 154 Hv, respectively. The hardness measurement from room up to high temperatures of $700^{\circ}C$ result in a hardness decrease as the temperature increases, but the hardness of the LC coating layer is higher for all temperature conditions. Room temperature wear results show that the wear loss of the LC coating layer is 1/12 of the wear level of the Ni electroplating layer. The measured bond strength is also greater in the LC coating than the Ni electroplating.

D3 tools steel and 440C stainless steel (SS) are normally being employed for application such as knife blade and cutting tools. These steels are iron alloys which have high carbon and high chromium content. In this study, lab work focused on the microstructural and corrosion behavior of D3 tools steel and 440C SS after went through heat treatment processes. Heat treatments for both steels were started with normalizing at 1020 ℃, continue with hardening at 1000 ℃followed by oil quenching. Cryogenic treatment was carried out in liquid nitrogen for 24 hours. The addition of cryogenic heat treatment is believed to increase the hardness and corrosion resistance for steels. Both samples were then tempered at two different tempering temperatures, 160 ℃ and 426 ℃. For corrosion test, the samples were immersed in NaCl solution for 30 days to study the corrosion behavior of D3 tool steel and 440C SS after heat treatment. The mechanical properties of these steels have been investigated using Rockwell hardness machine before heat treatment, after heat treatment (before corrosion) and after corrosion test. Microstructure observation of samples was carried out by scanning electron microscopy. The corrosion rate of these steels was calculated after the corrosion test completed. From the results, the highest hardness is observed for D3 tool steel which tempered at 160 ℃(54.1 HRC). In terms of microstructural analysis, primary carbide and pearlite in the as-received samples transform to tempered martensite and cementite after heat treatment process. From this research, for corrosion test, heat treated 440C SS sample tempered with 426 ℃possessed the excellent corrosion resistance with corrosion rate 0.2808 mm/year.

경상남도 진해시 두동리가마터 출토 백자를 중심으로 물리 화학적 분석, 미세구조관찰을 실시하여 경질과 연질백자의 특성을 과학적으로 고찰해보았다. 물리적 특성은 연질백자가 높은 흡수율과 기공률을 갖는 것을 확인하였다. 화학적 조성은 태토와 유약의 지역적 특성은 나타났으나 경질과 연질의 구분은 확인되지 않았다. 미세구조는 물리적 특성으로 확인되는 경질과 연질의 차이를 가시적으로 확인할 수 있다. 경질백자는 기공의 형태가 둥글고 유리질화된 장석과 같은 광물이 관찰되나 연질백자는 기공도 부정형으로 분포정도가 매우 크며 유리질화된 입자를 확인할 수 없다. 이와같은 분석 결과에서 두동리의 경질과 연질백자는 화학적 조성 및 번조조건에 따라 나타나는 차이보다는 물리적 특성이 크게 좌우하는 것으로 확인된다. 그러나 물리적 특성에 따른 사용 원료는 제작된 지역에 따라 가마별로 차이를 보일 수 있으므로 다양한 비교 연구가 필요하다.

This study aims at investigating the correlation of microstructure and mechanical properties of the AZ91 Mg/Al borate whisker composites fabricated by squeeze csting technique with a variation of applied pressure. Microstructure observation and in-situ fracture tests were conducted on the composites to identify the microfracture process. Detailed microstructural analyses indicated that the grain refinement could be achieved with applied pressure and the little change in volume fraction on reinforcing whiskers could be carried out. It was also found clearly from in-situ observation of crack initiation and propagation that in the composite processed by the lower applied pressure, microcracks were initiated earily at whisker/matrix interfaces, thereby resulting in the drop in strength. In the composite processed by the higher applied pressure, on the other hand, planar slip lines were well developed in the matrix, and then propagated through whiskers without whisker/matrix decohesion. Thus, the effect of the applied pressure on microstructure and mechanical properties can be explained by grain refinement, increased amounts of reinforcements, and improvement of whisker/matrix interfacial strength as the applied pressure in increased.

This study was undertaken to examine the effect of sea tangle and sea mustard on physiochemical and sensory characteristics of cakes and the possibility commercialization of these functional cakes. The moisture contents of cakes prepared with sea tangle and sea mustard were higher than those of control, and a positive correlation between water holding capacity(WHC) and moisture contents was observed(r=0.836). As addition level of sea tangle and sea mustard was increased, volume of cakes were decreased, whereas hardness was increased slightly and color became deep. Hardness was strongly correlated to the volume of cakes(r= 0.914). Visual observation by photomicrography showed that, as addition level of sea mustard and sea tangle was increased, formation of air cells were prohibited and thus volume of cakes was decreased. The microstructural observation by scanning electron microscopy(SEM) showed that air cells of cakes were well developed up to 5% addition of sea tangle powder. As a result of the sensory evaluation for the cakes prepared with sea tangle and sea mustard, no significant difference was observed between control and those addition levels up to 5%. Flavor was proved to be the most important factor in determining overall acceptability and hedonic hardness score was inversely correlated to the objective hardness value(r= 0.853).

Composition effects on microstructure and metallizing properties of the alumina sintered body were evaluated to develop the metallized alumina tubes having superior properties for electronic devices. SEM observation revealed that resultant micrographs and fractographs were varied with composition chance of additives and $SiO_2$-rich specimens showed better microstructural characteristics with uniform distribution of fine and round particles than other CaO-rich or MgO-rich ones. The resultant interfacial microstructure of the $SiO_2$-rich metallized alumina tubes also showed good metallizing properties with no defects between layers and uniform thickness of metallizing layer.

SiCp-reinforced metal matrix composites (MMCs) containing 8 wt % and 16 wt % of $SiC_p-reinforced$ with 30 and $45\;{\mu}m$ in sizes were prepared by a melt stirring-squeeze casting technique. Microstructural observation showed that particle distributions were reasonably well. Turning experiments were carried out on the composites using uncoated and triple-layer coated carbide tools at various cutting speeds under a constant feed rate and depth of cut. Coated tools indicated better performance than uncoated tools for all the materials while the poor surface finish was obtained for coated tools.
