Al-42wt%Nb powder was prepared by high-energy mechanical milling(HEMM). The particle size, phase transformation and microstructure of the as-milled powder were investigated by particle size distribution (PSD) analyzer, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffractometery (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM)and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The milled powders were heated to a sintering temperature at 1000C with under vaccum with vaccum tube furnace. Microstructural examination of sintered Ti-42wt%Nb alloy using 4h-milled powder showed Ti-rich phases (${\alpha}$-Ti) which are fine and homogeneously distributed in the matrix (Nb-rich phase: ${\beta}$-Ti). The sintered Ti-42wt%Nb alloy with milled powder showed higher hardness. The microstructure of the as quenched specimens fabricated by sintering using mixed and milled powder almost are same, but the hardness of as quenched specimen fabricated by using mixed powder increased due to solution hardening of Nb in Ti matrix. The aging effect of these specimens on microstructural change and hardening is not prominent.

The present study investigates the effect of PMMA and BN content on microstructure, mechanical and dielectric properties of silicon nitride($Si_3N_4$) ceramics in $Y_2O_3-Al_2O_3$ additive system. The total additive content was fixed at 8 wt.% and the amount of PMMA varies from 0 to 40 wt.% and BN varies from 0 to 36 wt.%, respectively. The crystalline phases of the samples were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. All the sintered sample shows complete transformation of ${\alpha}$ to ${\beta}-Si_3N_4$ during the sintering process indicated that the phase transformation was unaffected by the PMMA or BN content. However, the microstructure shows that the residual porosity increased with increasing PMMA and BN content. In addition, the flexural strength and the dielectric constant decrease with addition of PMMA and BN due to the residual porosity. This article provides empirical study of design parameters for $Si_3N_4$-based radome materials.

In order to suppress $CO_2$ emission and protect passengers in case of vehicle collision, continuous efforts are being made to increase the application ratio and tensile strength of advanced high strength steels used in the manufacturing of automotive body. Simultaneously, hydrogen embrittlement which was not a concern in the past has currently become a major issue due to microstructure that is sensitive to hydrogen uptake. The sensitivity increases with residual stress and hydrogen uptake content. Many automotive OEM companies and mill makers are setting specifications to control hydrogen embrittlement. The factors which lead to hydrogen embrittlement are material sensitivity, residual stress, and hydrogen concentration; researches are in progress to develop countermeasures. To reduce material sensitivity, mill makers add high energy trap elements or microstructure refinement elements. Automotive OEM companies design the car parts not to concentrate local stress. And they manage the levels to not to exceed critical hydrogen concentration. In this article, we have reviewed hydrogen embrittlement evaluation methods and corresponding solutions that are being studied in automobile manufacturing industries and mill makers.

A study was made to characterize the microstructures and mechanical properties of the base metal and the heat-affected zone(HAZ) in Cu-bearing HSLA-100 steel. The Gleeble thermal/mechanical simulator was used to simulated the weld HAZ. The relationship between microstructure and toughness of HAZ was studied by impact test, O. M, SEM, TEM, and DSC. The toughness requirement of military specification value was met in all test temperatures for the base metal. The decrease of HAZ toughness comparing to base plate is ascribed to the coarsed-grain and the formation of bainite. Obliquely sectioned Charpy specimens show that secondary crack propagate easily along bainite lath. Improved toughness(240J) at HAZ of $Tp_2=950^{\circ}C$ is due to the fine grain, and reasonable toughness(160~00J) in the intercritical reheated HZA is achieved by the addition of small amount of carbon which affects the formation of "M-A". Cu precipitated during ageing for increasing the strength of base metal is dissolved during single thermal cycle to $1,350^{\circ}C$ and is precipitated little on cooling and heating during subsequent weld thermal cycle. Thus, the decrease of toughness does not occur owing to the precipitation of Cu.

The objective of this study is to investigate the influence of powder shape and densification mechanism on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti-6Al-4V components. BE powders are uniaxially and isostatically pressed, and PA ones are injection molded because of their high strengths. The isostatically compacted samples exhibit a density of 80%, which is higher than those of other samples, because hydrostatic compression can lead to higher strain hardening. Owing to the higher green density, the density of BE-CS (97%) is found to be as high as that of other samples (BE-DS (95%) and P-S (94%)). Furthermore, we have found that BE powders can be consolidated by sintering densification and chemical homogenization, whereas PA ones can be consolidated only by simple densification. After sintering, BE-CS and P-S are hot isostatically pressed and BE-DS is hot forged to remove residual pores in the sintered samples. Apparent microstructural evolution is not observed in BE-CSH and P-SH. Moreover, BE-DSF exhibits significantly fine grains and high density of low-angle grain boundaries. Thus, these microstructures provide Ti-6Al-4V components with enhanced mechanical properties (tensile strength of 1179 MPa).

In order to observe physical properties of rice depending on reheating, the study cooked rice developed for high quality cooked rice and analyzed physical properties of rice depending on reheating following 24 hr refrigeration. As a result of palatability of cooked rice, Samgkwang had the lowest hardness, while Daebo and Haiami had the highest one. With respect to adhesiveness, toughness and stickiness, Sindongjin exhibited lowest properties. After cooking each rice by cultivars, the study observed their color, texture properties, and microstructure immediately after cooking, after 24 hr of refrigeration and further on. Lightness of cooked rice tended to drop because of refrigeration and reheating. Analysis of texture properties after cooking revealed that Haiami marked the highest points in all categories. When stored for 24 hr after cooking, hardness, viscosity and chewiness increased in cooked rice followed by a decrease after reheating. Observation of the microstructure of cooked rice using a scanning electron microscope revealed that Haiami had its particles in the center as closely condensed. It was apparent that all the cultivars formed stoma in an obvious manner because of refrigeration and reheating. The results of the present study show that physical properties of cooked rice varied according to reheating after cooking and storage depending on the inherent characteristics of rice cultivars.

반응성 분체 콘크리트(RPC)는 월등히 뛰어난 기계적 성능을 바탕으로 최근의 건설 환경 변화에 적절히 대응할 수 있는 차세대 건설재료로서 기대를 모으고 있지만, 이에 대한 국내에서의 연구는 매우 부족한 실정이다. 특히 유럽에서 개발된 RPC는 단위시멘트량이 매우 높거나 반응성 분체로서 국내에서는 전량 수입에 의존하고 있는 고가의 실리카퓸(silica fume)을 다량 사용하고 있다. 때문에 국내 실정에 맞는 실용적인 RPC의 개발에 관한 다양한 연구가 필요하다. 이 연구에서는 기존 RPC의 성능 범위 내에서 단위시멘트량의 감소와 실리카퓸의 대체재로서 고로슬래그분말이나 플라이애쉬의 사용 등을 검토하기 위하여 다양한 양생방법에 따른 3성분계 포졸란재(고로슬래그, 플라이애쉬, 실리카퓸) 혼입 RPC의 강도발현 및 미세구조 특성을 분석 평가하였다. 시험 결과는 3성분계 포졸란재의 적절한 혼합사용과 최적 양생방법의 적용이 RPC의 강도발현 및 미세구조 개선에 매우 효과적임을 잘 보여주었다.

Aluminium and its alloys are widely used in brazing various components in automotive industries due to their properties like lightweight, excellent ductility, malleability and formability, high oxidation and corrosion resistance, and high electrical and thermal conductivity. However, high machinability and strength of aluminium alloys are a serious concern during casting operations. The generation of porosity caused by dissolved gases and modifiers affects seriously the strength and quality of cast product. Brazing of Al and its alloys requires careful monitoring of temperature since theses alloys are brazed at around the melting temperature in most of the aluminium alloys. Therefore, the development of low temperature brazing filler alloys as well as superior strength Al alloys for various engineering applications is always in demand. In various heat exchangers and automotive applications, poor strength of Al alloys is due to the inherent porosities and casting defects. The unstable mechanical properties is therefore needed to be controlled by adding various additive elements in the aluminium and its alloys, by a change in the heat treatment procedure or by modifying the microstructure. In this regard, this article reports the effect of various elements added in aluminium alloys to improve microstructure, brazeability, machinability, castability as well as to stabilize the mechanical properties.

Alpha-SiAlON ceramics having various compositions and modifying cations were investigated with respect to their phase stability, transformation kinetics. and resulting microstructures. Each composition was heat treated at 150$0^{\circ}C$ for 1h and measured the $\alpha$-SiAlON transformation. The phase-boundary composition in the single-phase $\alpha$-SiAlON region showed sluggish transformation from $\alpha$-$Si_3N_4$ to $\alpha$-SiAlON compared to the phase-center composition in the diagram. Using the different rare earth modifying cations, dependence of transformation kinetics on the phase stability in a fixed composition was also explained. By changing size of the stable u-phase region with exchanging cations, systematic change in transformation was observed. Transformation rate of $\alpha$-SiAlON at low temperature has an important role on controlling the final microstructure. Less transformation gives more chances to develop elongated grain in the microstructure.
