To investigate distribution characteristics of heavy metals in soils in the vicinity of King Sejong Station of King George Island, Antarctica, Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Pb, Co, Cd, Cr, Ni and Mo contents were investigated under different distances and directions from King Sejong Station. 13 sample sites were distributed from King Sejong Station. In site 4, the Cd content was higher than that in other sites. The Cr content was the highest in site 9, and the Ni and Mn contents were high in site 12. Cu, Co and Zn were highly contained in distance 1~2 km from King Sejong Station. Cd, Cr, Ni and Mo contents were lower, whereas Fe, Mn, Cu, Zn, Pb and Co contents were higher than other heavy metal contents at all sites.

BST(66/34) and BSCT(60/30/10) ceramics were prepared by mixed oxide method and studied about the microstructural and dielectric properties with $Y_2$O$_3$, Dy$_2$O$_3$, La$_2$O$_3$, MnCO$_3$. The grain size of undoped BST was 20~30 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, but that of BST, doped content of MnCO$_3$ was 0.1 mol%, was decreased with increasing the contents of $Y_2$O$_3$. As the content of $Y_2$O$_3$ was Increased, Tc was shifted to lower temperature and dielectric constant at Tc was decreased. The dielectric constant of doped BSCT(60/30/10) ceramics ( 0.9 mol% $Y_2$O$_3$. and 0.1 mol% MnCO$_3$) was about 8, 000 at Tc( 22$^{\circ}C$ ).

Layer-structured $Na_xCo_2O_4$ was synthesized from $Na_2CO_3\;and\;Co_3O_4$ powders. The chemical concentrations of Na and additive were controlled to enhance the thermoelectric properties over the temperature range from 400 K to 1,150 K. As a result, we obtained the maximum thermoelectric properties at a single phase region with Na content of x=1.5. When Na content was smaller than x=1.5, the thermoelectric properties was low due to formation of second phases of CoO and other oxides. Additionally, Mn was doped to improve thermoelectric properties by means of decreasing thermal conductivity. The results showed that the concentrations of both Na and Mn are all governing factors to determine the thermoelectric properties of $Na_xCo_2O_4$ system.

Depositional environment off the Shihwa Dam has been studied to investigate the change of sedimentation process and the pollution. In order to understand how the sediments are distributed, polluted and modified, depositional factors have been analyzed and compared with the previous data. Study area, located off the Shihwa Dam, was surveyed to collect 25 bottom samples and 2 cores in 1996 and echo-sounding in 1997. These sediments were analyzed for the study of the global characteristics of sediment such as grain size and organic matter. Among these samples, the selected twenty surface sediments were analyzed for the comparison with their contents of metallic elements (Al, Mn, Fe, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, As). According to field and lab analysis of sediments, three sedimentological zones have been generally identified around study area; near the dam (sandy Silt), near the dike (Sand) and offshore (silty Sand) zones. Textural parameters show that the content of silt and clay is dominant near the dam excepting the dike zone of LNG Storage Base and offshore (Palmido). The total concentration of Mn, Ni, Fe, Zn and Cd in bulk sediments was increased after the construction of the dam, while the content of Mn and Cr were higher near tidal channel than in the offshore area. Meanwhile, the annual increasing pattern of some heavy metal has appeared in this area. Based on this primary study, modification of the depositional environment may be caused by the construction of the dam and LNG Storage Base. Additionally, environmental evaluation on organic/inorganic factors has been suggested for interpreting environmental changes caused by coastal development in the nearshore such as the Shihwa coastal area.

The effects of Mn and Co additions up to 0.6 and 2.0 wt% respectively and the amount of cold-rolled reduction on the thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) of powder rolled Fe-Ni Invar strips were investigated. The compacted strips were sintered, homogenized and cold-rolled to the final thickness of 0.8 mm, 0.65 mm and 0.4 mm. All the strips reached full density except the case of 0.8 mm sample which has a very few porosities. The interstitials which are well known to increase TEC were minimized to the level of 10 rpm C,5 and N,0 by the processing. TEC was found to decrease by increasing the cold reduction. The Mn content had little effect on the TEC. But in Fe-Ni-Co system, TEC decreased with Co content up to 0.4 wt% and then increased, yielding the minimum value of $0.2 {\times} 10-6/^{\circ}C$ at 0.4 wt% Co. This value is much lower than that of commercial Invar product. Such effect of Co is considered to be related with the maxiumum spontaneous- magnetostriction effect.

Effects of carbon and Ti on damping capacity are investigated in an Fe-17%Mn alloy. The suppressive force of carbon against ${\gamma}{\rightarrow}{\varepsilon}$ transformation increases linearly with an increase in its content, lowering Ms temperature and volume fraction of ${\varepsilon}$ martensite. Carbon deteriorates damping capacity by reducing the interfacial area of damping sources and mobility of the boundaries contributing to anelastic deformation. The reduction in damping capacity is accelerated when carbon-containing alloy is aged at higher temperatures above room temperature. The effect of Ti on damping capacity is found to be benificial in carbon-containing alloy, which is attributed to the depletion of carbon solute due to the formation of TiC.

The changes in microstructure and texture during annealing were examined in a series of 0.015% C-1.5% Mn cold-rolled sheet steels with 0~0.5% Mo. Orientation distribution function data were calculated from the (110), (200), (211) pole figures determined on the rolled plane of cold-rolled and annealed steel sheets. Regardless of Mo content and annealing conditions, martensite volume fraction was less than 1.0%, not affecting the texture evolution. Textural change at the cooling stage after heating at $820^{\circ}C$ for 67 sec was not observed. Increasing the Mo content and annealing temperature markedly strengthened the intensities of ${\gamma}$-fiber texture, resulting in the increase in $r_m$ value. The desirable texture evolution for deep drawability in the 0.5% Mo steel may be mainly caused by the grain refining effect of Mo carbide in the hot-rolled steel sheet.

The effects of the various amount of $CeO_2$ $MnO_2$ and $Fe_2O_3$ added to the high lead-silicate glasses on the X-ray induced coloration were studied. The light transmissions and chromaticities of the glasses before and after exposing to X-ray radiation were measured to investigate the effects by additivies. The results are as follows ; 1. High lead-silicate glass added $CeO_2$ or $MnO_2$ has a little effect on the transmission but has a considerable effect on the chromaticity. The chromaticies of 56.6wt% PbO content glasses were changed as 3-7 times as those of 28.3wt% PbO content glasses. 2. By the X-ray irradiation glasses containing 0.2-0.5wt% $CeO_2$ were changed the least in chromaticity that is the most effective in preventing the X-ray induced coloration. 3. By X-ray irradiation $MnO_2$ reduced the transmissions and showed purple coloration. 4. Transmission change amounts of the glasses added $CeO_2$ and $Fe_2O_3$ were less than those of the glasses added $CeO_2$ alone by X-ray irradiation.

To lower the annealing temperature and the deviation of the mechanical properties of bake hardening steels, high purity steels were investigated. The steels were characterized by treating at low recrystallization temperature. It was confirmed that the strengthening originated from the solid solution of carbon and the ferrite grain refinement by fine MnS precipitates as carbon and sulfur contents increased in high purity steels. However, it was observed that there was no more increase of strength in steels containing over 40 ppm of carbon. It was considered that the excess carbon formed either the carbon cluster or the low temperature unstable carbides which had the negligible effect on the strengthening because they were reported to be highly coherent with the matrix. The carbon cluster and unstable carbides could be transformed to the stable cementite during bake hardening treatment. MnS was not observed in the high purity steel containing 5 ppm S, resulting in very coarse recrystallized grains and good ductility. As sulfur content increased, the recrystallized grain size decreased due to the formation of the fine MnS precipitates.

In this study, in order to improve the lifespan of parts made of manganese steel, manganese steel was cast by varying the amount of Ti added to the steel. In order to confirm the characteristics of the cast material, processing characteristics including tensile and surface characteristics and bearing ratio were investigated. It was confirmed that when the amount of Ti added to high manganese steel exceeds 0.5%, the strength of the alloy is improved due to grain refinement, and fine carbides are formed inside the steel. This results in increased resistance to surface wear compared to the alloy with only Mn added. There was no significant difference in the increase in tensile strength as the Ti content in manganese steel was increased. However, inclusion of Ti showed a small but greater effect on wear resistance compared to Mn, and the size and the distribution of carbides become coarse depending on the Ti content. and was evenly distributed. It was confirmed that the strength and surface properties of manganese steel can be improved by the addition of Ti to improve the lifespan of parts made with this steel. It was found that Ti is effective in developing materials with excellent wear resistance due to refinement of dendrite crystal grains. In the samples where Ti was added, the carbide appears to increase the resistance to surface roughness, and due to the nature of Mn steel, surface hardening begins to occur, which appears to extend the life.
