High speed wire seam weldability of tin coated thin gage sheet steels was investigated. Thickness and coating weight ranges of the test materials were 0.21~0.35mm and 1.1/1.1~2.8/11.2g/$m^2$, respectively. Test results indicated that the surface roughness value, Rz decreased as increasing the coating weight. The Rz was thought to be one of the important factors to influence the optimum welding condition range, $\triangle$Q. The $\triangle$Q showed close relationship with welding conditions such as welding pressure and travel speed. Higher welding pressure widened the $\triangle$Q while higher travel speed reduced the $\triangle$Q value. Results also demonstrated that tin coating weight should be optimized based on the weldability or the serviceability after welding. At th HAZ of sheet materials with thinner coating layer, tin depleted zone was produced since molten film of the coating material on the base metal agglomerated by the surface tension, which could result in reducing the corrosion resistance of the HAZ in the service environment.

The investigation was carried out to study the behaviors of the pore size and porosity, the mechanical strength, the resistance to thermal spallings and slag attacks according to particle sizes of starting raw materials in porous high Alumina ceramics. This porous ceramics have been used in processing of the clean steel by the blowing of the inert gas. The required properties in the practice are the suitable pores size, the sharp pores distribution for a uniform blowing of the gas, the strong corrosion resistance to slags and molten metals and the resistance to thermal spalling. The optimized properties in porous high alumina ceramics of the specimen No. 3 was found to be the very low slag intrusion and the superior resistance to thermal spalling because of the suitable pore size of 2.5${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, the porosity of 30% and the high sinterability.

Slopping phenomena deteriorate the productivity and the stability of operation in oxygen converter process. To predict and prevent that, it needs reliable perception of the internal state of the oxygen converter chamber. Equipment was developed to measure the dynamic and static behavior of the oxygen-blowing lance 3-dimensionally and the measured signal is analyzed in relation to slopping phenomena. It was found that the behavior of the lance is strongly correlated to the change of slag foam height and the instability of molten steel behavior. So slopping phenomena can be predicted by simultaneously analyzing the measured behavior of the lance and the control factors such as the flow rate of oxygen and the height of lance.

An evaluation system of the thermal properties of exothermic & insulating materials was developed. By measuring the power supply of the induction furnace, the thermal property of exothermic & insulating materials could be evaluated with high reproducibility at elevated temperature of molten steel. The thermal properties of exothermic & insulating materials were affected by mixing condition of raw materials. The effect of main components of exothermic & insulating materials such as metallic aluminum and $Fe_2O_3$ powder on the exothermic and insulating properties was examined. It could be expected to design and develop various exothermic & insulating materials by means of the evaluation system of the thermal properties.

One of the areas in the continuous casting process that up to this point, has not been definitively instrumented is a method of reliably locating the part of a continuously cast strand that remains liquid for a period after the outer portion has solidified. To solve the problem. Electromagnetic Trandsducers(EMAT) which operate across an air gap without the need for a coupling medium has been developed. The system was designed to employ a through transmission technique which enhanced the signal-to-noise ratio. The Al 75$\times$75mm and 75$\times$100mm simulators with 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 mm hole respectively has been produced in order to verify the developed EMAT system and to measure to liquid core in continuous casting strand. The system developed can be employed for the optimization of torch cutting speed and for the final cut length of the bloom as well as calculation of average bloom temperature.

A study on the fatigue fracture at electro discharge machined(E.D.M) surface has been made with special emphases on the microstructure variation and the residual stress distribution at the E.D.H heat affected zone. Results obtained are summarized as follows. (1) E.D.M brings about a variation of microstructure in heat affected zone, structures of molten, quenching, tempering are formed in order of formation from E.D.M surface. (2) Residual stress generated by E.D.M reduces the fatigue strength of the material through the influencing fatigue crack initiation and growth. (3) Magnitude of the residual stress existed in a microscopic area is approximately estimated by a COD measurement method which was originally suggested by authors.

In the sand casting process, the flow of liquid metal affects the quality of casting products and their die life. To determine the optimal bush part design process, this study performed various analyses using commercial finite element analysis S/W. The simulation focused on the molten metal behaviors during the mold filling and solidification stages of sand casting. This study aims to develop methods to reduce the cost and increase the tool life of the continuous hot zinc plating roll.

Magnesia partially stabilized zirconia(Mg-PSZ) solid electrolytes for an improvement of thermal shock resistance, which is suitable for the measurement of oxygen activity in a molten steel, were prepared by post-thermal aging treatment. The steelmaking oxygen sensor elements were formed by an injection molding method, sintered at $1650^{\circ}C$, and then thermal aged ranged from 1250 to $1400^{\circ}C$. Sintered density and porosity were decreased as increasing the magnesia content in a zirconia-magnesia solid solution. Fractions of cubic phase to the synthesized Mg-PSZ solid electrolytes were ranged from 13.13 to 79.54.% after post-thermal aging treatment. Very dense microstructure without voids in the grains was obtained by the post-thermal aging process. Fine tetragonal phase crystallites precipitated on the cubic surface during post-thermal aging up to $1300^{\circ}C$ improve a thermal shock resistance and reappearance of electro motive force(EMF) curve.

Pressureless-sintered polycrystalline alumina and carbon steel were joined with Ag-33.5Cu-1.5Ti (wt%) brazing alloy. SEM observation revealed that two reaction layers with different thicknesses were continuously formed between the alumina and the brazing alloy. A thick layer formed on the brazing alloy side was identified as Ti3(Cu0.93Al0.07)3O phase with diamond cubic structure. Another thin layer adjacent to the alumina was revealed as $\delta$-TiO phase of which the crystal structure was HCP with a lattice parameter of a0=0.419 nm and c0=0.284 nm. It was confirmed using XPS analysis that $\delta$-TiO was formed directly by a redox reaction of alumina with titanium ir, molten brazing alloy.

A numerical analysis has been performed solidification problem using the fixed grid-enthalpy method with enthalpy-porosity relation. A modified standard $k-\varepsilon$ model was applied to describe the influence of turbulent flow. Computational procedures are based on the finite volume method and the non-staggered grid system. Comparisons with the different three experimental results show that applying a modified standard $k-\varepsilon$model in mushyzone is better than the previous computation results. This paper includes another EMBR's influences such as change of velocity field, Increasement of temperature and dispersion of flow out of nozzle into the flow field. These EMBR's influences are compared to case without EMBR.
