Sintering behavior and microstructure development in the system ZnO-Bi2O3-CoO-Zn7Sb2O12 with Zn7Sb2O12 content(0.1mol%~2mol%) were studied. The pyrochlore phase was formed by the reaction of the Zn7Sb2O12 with Bi2O3 phase during heating (below 90$0^{\circ}C$). The formation temperature of the liquid phase (Bi2O3) was dependent on the Zn7Sb2O12 contents (about 74$0^{\circ}C$ for Bi2O3/Zn7Sb2O12>1 by the eutectic melting in the ZnOBi2O3 system, and about 110$0^{\circ}C$ for Bi2O3/Zn7Sb2O12 1 by the decomposition of pyrochlore phase). Hence, sintering behavior and microstructure development were determined virtually by the Bi2O3/Zn7Sb2O12 ratio, which were promoted by liquid (Bi2O3) phase and retarded by the pyrochlore (or spinel) phase. The grain growth of ZnO during sintering was sluggish with increasing Zn7Sb2O12 contents.

Wrought magnesium alloys show a low formability at room temperature, and a remarkable anisotropy of mechanical properties make it difficult to use them in a deformation process in industry. The microstructure and crystallographic texture of metals are developed during thermo-mechanical processes, and they are significant to the understanding of the mechanical properties of metals. This work studies the microstructure, texture development and tensile properties of the extruded AZ31 Mg alloy after rolling at 100 and $300^{\circ}C$. After 40% rolling at $100^{\circ}C$, many deformed twins were observed and a relatively weak texture developed. The basal poles were split and rotated towards the rolling direction about $20^{\circ}$. During 60% rolling at $300^{\circ}C$, the dynamic recrystallization (DRX) took place and developed a strong <0001>II ND fiber texture, which influenced the poor formability at room temperature.

Magnetic properties, microstructure and texture of NdFeB magnets fabricated by a modified hot working process from commercial melt-spun powders (Magnequench; MQPA, MQPB and MQPB＋) have been investigated. The hot-pressed isotropic magnet made from MQPA powder, which contains higher Nd content than that of MQPB or MQPB＋, shows higher coercivity. The magnet also shows homogenous and fine grains with higher coercivity for higher consolidation pressure. The hot-deformed MQPA magnet shows a strong anisotropy along the press direction with homogeneous platelet Nd$_2$Fe$_{14}$B grains of 50∼100nm in thickness and 200∼500nm in length. The hot-deformed MQPB＋ magnet, however, shows low remanence and low coercivity. The microstructure of the magnet consists of two areas; undeformed Nd$_2$Fe$_{14}$B grains and well-aligned but large grains with 3∼4 $\mu$m in length. Low Nd content attributes to the formation of the two different area.

Many products related to automobile and airplane have been manufactured by semi-solid process. There are many parameters in semi-solid process such as punch velocity, die temperature, and solid fraction of material. Among these parameters, solid fraction of material is one of the most important factors to determine quality of product. To obtain solid fraction of a certain semi-solid product is very necessary and useful for inspecting and analyzing the product. In this paper, image analysis program for microstructure by semi-solid forming process has been developed with the simple apparatus such as a personal computer and scanner, instead of expensive image analyzer.

The evolution of lectures and microstructure during the warm-rolling and subsequent annealing in aluminum 3004 alloy sheets was investigated by employing X-ray texture measurements and microstructure observations. Whereas the typical $\beta$-fiber orientations with the strong Bs-orientation $\{112\}<110>$ formed in the normally cold-rolled specimen, the warm-rolling at $250^{\circ}C$ led to the development of a strong through thickness texture gradient which was characterized by shear texture at the surface layer and rolling textures at the center layer After warm rolling, ultra-fine grains formed in the thickness layer with shear texture components. Upon recrystallization annealing, the $\{001\}<100>$ Cube-texture developed at the expense of normal rolling texture components the rise to the formation of corase recrystallized grains. However, in the layer with shear texture components the continuous recrystallization took place and the fine grain size persisted even after recrystallization annealing.

The active metal brazing was applied to bond Alumina and Ni-Cr steel by Ag-Cu-Zr-Sn alloy and the interfacial microstructure and reaction mechanism were investigated. Polycrystalline monoclinic $ZrO_2$ with a very fine grain of 100-150 nm formed at the alumina grain boundary contacted with Zr segregation layer at the interface. The $ZrO_2$ layer containing the inclusions and cracks were developed at the boundary of inclusion/$ZrO_2$ due to the difference in specific volume. The development of $ZrO_2$ at the interface was successfully explained by the preferential penetration of $ZrO_2$ at the interface was successfully explained by the preferential penetration of Zr atoms a higher concentration of oxygen and a high diffusion rate of Al ions into molten brazing alloy.

Microstructure of Al-Si coated PWA 1426 alloy was studied. Diffusion coated specimens were heat treated for 4hr at $870{\sim}1087^{\circ}C$ and then were examined the changes of microstructure and interfacial compound by optical microscopy, SEM and EDS. According to the result of EDS, it is supposed that the coated layer was composed of $Ni_2Al_3$. When diffusion treatment was conducted at $1087^{\circ}C$, coated layer varied from $Ni_2Al_3$ to NiAl phase and composed of mixed, denuded and inter-diffusion layer.

A numerical analysis was perfomed to predict flow curves and dynamic recrystallization behaviors of Al-5%Mg alloy on the basis of results of hot compression tests. The hot compression tests were carried out in the ranges of 350-50$0^{\circ}C$ and 5$\times${{{{ {10 }^{-3 } }}}}~3$\times${{{{ {10 }^{0 } }}}}/sec to obtain the Zener-Hollmon parameter. In the modelling equation the effects os strain hardening and dynamic recrystallization were taken into consideration. A model for predicting the evolution of microstructure in Al-5%Mg alloy during thermomechanical processing was developed in terms of dynamic recrystallization phenomena, The microstructure model was combined with finite element modeling(FEM) to predict microstructure development Model predictions showed good agreement with microstructures obtained in compression tests.

Application of nanomaterials to cementitious composites has been attempted with the rapid development of nanotechnology since the 1990s. Various nanomaterials such as carbon nanotube, graphene, nano-SiO₂, nano-TiO₂, nano-Al₂O₃, nano-Clay, and nano-Magnetite have been applied to cementitious composites to improve the mechanical properties and the durability, and to impart a variety of functionality. In-depth information on the effect of nanomaterials on the hydration reaction, the microstructure, and the mechanical properties of cementitious nanocomposites is provided in the present study. Specifically, this paper mostly deals with the previous studies on the heat evolution characteristics of cementitious nanomaterials at an early age of curing, and the pore and the compressive strength characteristics of cementitious nanocomposites. Furthermore, the effect of nanomaterials on the cementitious nanocomposites was systematically discussed with the reviews.
