Attempts were made to develop a stable gray pigment at reducing atmosphere, substituting Ti in $ZrTiO_4$ with Mn, Fe, Co and Cu The pigment synthesized at $1300~1500^{\circ}C$ by solid state method with the composition of $ZrTi_{1-x-y}A_xB_yO_4$ (x = y = 0.005, 0.015, 0.035, 0.055, 0.075, 0.095, 0.115, 0.135, 0.155, 0.175 and 0.195 mole, A = Mn(III), Fe(III), Co(II, III) and Cu(II) (chromophores), B = Sb (counterion). The pigments were fired at $1400^{\circ}C$ for 3 h with substitute amount changes of Mn, Fe, Co and Cu to $ZrTiO_4$ crystals, and analyzed by Raman spectroscopy to figure out substitute limits. Results indicated 0.035 mole for Mn, 0.115 mole for Fe, 0.015 mole for Co and 0.015 mole for Cu as substitute limits, respectively. Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4 represent each substitute pigments of Mn, Fe, Co and Cu. Synthesized pigment was applied to a lime and a lime-magnesia glaze at 7 wt% each, and fired at reducing atmosphere of $1240^{\circ}C$, soaking time 1h. Gray color was obtained with CIE-$L^*a^*b^*$ values at 44.55, -0.65, 1.19(Mn), 40.36, -0.90, 0.30(Fe), 42.63, -0.03, -1.49(Cu) and -40.79, -0.28, -0.91(Co), respectively.

This study investigates the effect of MnO2 and CuO as acceptor additives on the microstructure and piezoelectric properties of $0.96(K_{0.5}Na_{0.5})_{0.95}Li_{0.05}Nb_{0.93}Sb_{0.07}O_3-0.04BaZrO_3$, which has a rhombohedral-tetragonal phase boundary composition. $MnO_2$ and CuO-added $0.96(K_{0.5}Na_{0.5})_{0.95}Li_{0.05}Nb_{0.93}Sb_{0.07}O_3-0.04BaZrO_3$ ceramics sintered at a relatively low temperature of $1020^{\circ}C$ show a pure perovskite phase with no secondary phase. As the addition of $MnO_2$ and CuO increases, the sintered density and grain size of the resulting ceramics increases. Due to the difference in the amount of oxygen vacancies produced by B-site substitution, Cu ion doping is more effective for uniform grain growth than Mn ion doping. The formation of oxygen vacancies due to B-site substitution of Cu or Mn ions results in a hardening effect via ferroelectric domain pinning, leading to a reduction in the piezoelectric charge coefficient and improvement of the mechanical quality factor. For the same amount of additive, the addition of CuO is more advantageous for obtaining a high mechanical quality factor than the addition of $MnO_2$.

The effect of chemical composition of the sintering atmosphere on density, microstructure and mechanical properties of Fe-3%Mn-(Cr)-(Mo)-0.3%C steels is described. Pre-alloyed Astaloy CrM and CrL, ferromanganese and graphite were used as the starting powders. Following pressing in a rigid die, compacts were sintered at 1120 and $1250^{\circ}C$ in atmospheres having different $H_2/N_2$ ratio and furnace cooled to room temperature. It has been found that the atmosphere composition has negligible effect on the as-sintered properties of the investigated materials.

The microstructure and deformation behavior in 22Cr-0.2N micro-duplex stainless steels with various Ni and Mn contents were compared using by OM, TEM, and XRD. The 22Cr-0.2N duplex stainless steel plates were fabricated and hot rolled, followed by annealing treatment at the temperature range of $1,000-1,100^{\circ}C$. All the samples showed the common strain hardening behaviour during the tensile test at a room temperature. The steels tested at the temperatures of $-30^{\circ}C$ or $-50^{\circ}C$ showed a distinct inflection point in the stress-strain curves, which should be resulted from the formation of strain-induced martensite(SIM) of austenite phase. This was confirmed by TEM observations. The onset strain of a inflection point in a stress-strain curve should be depended up the value of $M_d30$. With the decrease of the tensile test temperature, the inflection point appeared earlier, and the strength and fracture strain were higher. The tensile behaviour was discussed from the point of austenite stability of the micro-duplex stainless steels with the different Ni and Mn content.

Effect of Sn addition on the stress corrosion cracking(SCC) resistance of the Al-Cu-Mn cast alley was investigated by C-ring teat and electrical conductivity measurement, The electrical conductivity and SCC resistance increased by Sn addition. The alley containing 0,10%Sn showed maximum electrical conductivity and the best SCC resistance. At the same composition, the electrical conductivity and SCC resistance increased from peak aged condition to ever aged condition. The PFZ and coarse precipitates along the grain boundary were observed from TEM micrographs. The fracture mode of the alloy was confirmed as intergranular type and showed brittle fracture surface. The SCC mechanism of the alloy was concluded as the anodic dissolution model, The maximum hardness was increased from 130Hv in the Sn-free alloy to 156Hv in the 0.10%Sn added alloy.

Effects of alloy modification with the $Zr_{0.6}Ti_{0.4}V_{0.4}Ni_{1.2}Mn_{0.4}$ alloy for an electrode use have been investigated. For the alloy composition, a part of Mn was substituted by Co, Cr and Fe. The experimental results showed that Co accelerated activation of alloy, and Fe and Cr improved the discharge capacity. These results agree with P-C-T curves of each alloy. But substituting Fe for Mn showed the decrease of the discharge capacity when discharged at high rate (60mA, about 1C rate). Considering both the discharge capacity and the high rate discharge property, $Zr_{0.6}Ti_{0.4}V_{0.4}Ni_{1.2}Mn_{0.3}Cr_{0.1}$ alloy was found to be the best alloy among the alloys subjected to the test.

It is very important that a spectrum of reflectance is in accord wi th a spectrum of absorbance for a effective heating. Therefore. the objective of this study was to achieve a technical composite for material plan which PTC thermistor increase a radiation property of far-infrared and keep a characteristic of R-T The Ceramic speciman studies had the composition $BaTiO_3$ with additive of 1.67 $Al_2O_3$, 3.75 $SiO_2$, 1.25 $TiO_2$, 0.15 $Sb_2O_3$ and 0.00-0.182 $MnO_2$. $MnO_2$ amounts of additives was both increase on the anomalous resistivity-temperature characteristics and high efficiency on the radiation properties bodies of far-infrared. This result shows that specimens produced high emissivity(average 0.8) of far-infrared at 4.5-15$[{\mu}m]$ by measuring a characteristic of IR and R-T.

니켈-수소화물전지의 음극재료로서 주목을 받고 있는 다원계 Zr기 Laves 합금의 조성에 따른 결정구조, 방전특성등을 조사하였다. 전극은 아크 용해한 합금을 분쇄한 분말과 PVA를 다공성니켈 foam에 충진하여 제작하였고 충방전시험은 6M KOH 용액중에서 수행하였다. 대상 합금은 ZrNi2를 기본조성으로 하여 이중 Ni의 일부를 V, Mn, Cr, Mo 또는 W로 치환한 삼원계 및 사원계 합금이었다. 이들 합금의 충방전 실험결과 ZrV0.5Mn0.5Ni1.0의 경우가 260 mAh/g로 가장 높은 방전용량을 나타내었다. 이 합금의 방전용량은 방전전류밀도의 영향을 크게 받았으며 10 mA/g과 200mA/g의 방전전류에서 각각 300mAh/g와 150mAh/g이었다. 이 합금을 110$0^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 경우 저율방전시에는 방전용량의 변화가 거의 없었으나 수소의 확산이 율속이 될 것으로 생각되는 고율 방잔시에서는 방전용량이 현저하게 감소하였다. 이러한 현상은 열처리에 의해 수소의확산을 용이하게 해주는 격자결함이 감소하기 때문이 아닌가 생각된다.

Recently, new extraction technology for manganese nodule has been developed as alternative noble metallic resources. It is important to understand thermodynamic behaviors of phosphorus in low basic slag system from the viewpoint of the refining processing optimization. Thermodynamic behaviors of phosphorus in the $FeO-MnO-CaO-SiO_2-MgO_{satd.}$ slag system were investigated at 1723 K with various oxygen potential and slag composition of low basicity. The experimental results for dependence of phosphorus on oxygen potential and slag basicity indicated that the dissolution mechanism of phosphorus into slag of low basicity could be derived as follows; $[P]+5/4O_2+(O^{2-})=({PO_{3.5}}^{2-})$ Present experimental results implied that stability of phosphorus in slag would be depended on both of $O^{2-}$ (basicity) and content of $Ca^{2+}$ in molten slag. The thermodynamic effect of FeO, MnO and $Na_2O$ on low basicity on phosphate capacity was discussed.
