Ni-P/C multi-layer was synthesized by electroless plating and paste coating for better corrosion and surface conductance as a metallic bipolar plate. The Ni-P layer could be synthesized with the range of 2.6~22.4 at.% P contents and it's surface morphology and corrosion resistance depend on content of P. Corrosion resistance of the Ni-P layer in sulfuric acid by electrochemical test is similar with pure Ni. Surface resistance of pure Ni after corrosion was increased about 8% compared to pure Ni. On the other hand, that of the Ni-P/C composite with 20% carbon content was increased only 1%.

We fabricated Ni and Ni-W alloys for use as a substrate in YBCO coated conductor applications and evaluated the effect of W in Ni on texture, microstructure and surface morphology, and hardness of substrate. Pure Ni, Ni-2 at.％W, and Ni-5at.％W alloy substrates were prepared by plasma arc melting, cold rolling, and the recrystallization heat treatment at various temperature (700- 130$0^{\circ}C$). It was observed that Ni-W alloy substrates had stronger cube texture and maintained it at higher annealing temperature, compared to pure Ni substrate : The full-width at half- maximums of in-plane texture was 13.40$^{\circ}$ for Ni substrate and 4.42$^{\circ}$-5.57$^{\circ}$ for Ni-W substrate annealed at 100$0^{\circ}C$. In addition, it was observed that the Ni-W substrate had smaller grain size, shallower boundary depth, and higher hardness, compared to those of pure Ni substrate.

Simultaneous Ni and C codeposition by electrolysis was investigated with the aim of obtaining better corrosion resistivity and surface conductivity of a metallic bipolar plate for application in fuel cells and redox flow batteries. The carbon content in the Ni-C composite plate fell in a range of 9.2~26.2 at.% as the amount of carbon in the Ni Watt bath and the roughness of the composite were increased. The Ni-C composite with more than 21.6 at.% C content did not show uniformly dispersed carbon. It also displayed micro-sized defects such as cracks and crevices, which result in pitting or crevice corrosion. The corrosion resistance of the Ni-C composite in sulfuric acid is similar with that of pure Ni. Electrochemical test results such as passivation were not satisfactory; however, the Ni-C composite still displayed less than $10^{-4}$ $A/cm^2$ passivation current density. Passivation by an anodizing technique could yield better corrosion resistance in the Ni-C composite, approaching that of pure Ni plating. Surface resistivity of pure Ni after passivation was increased by about 8% compared to pure Ni. On the other hand, the surface resistivity of the Ni-C composite with 13 at.% C content was increased by only 1%. It can be confirmed that the metal plate electrodeposited Ni-C composite can be applied as a bipolar plate for fuel cells and redox flow batteries.

This paper focuses on the research of the anode and cathode in the Ni-MH secondary battery. In this paper, the proposed method employs a continuous wave Nd : YAG laser based on the pure Ni instead of the low carbon steel to improve the conductivity although the conventional secondary battery is based on the resistance spot welded with low carbon steel SS41. It welds a sandwich panel using the pure Ni and the porous thin plate, and the tested optimal conditions for the laser power and irradiation speed were 300 and 350 Watt, and 1.0~1.6m/min, respectively. Finally, we observed a ratio, heat input and cross-section and measured the conductivity of the welding section to test the weldability.

The effect of pressure on the phase transformation in Fe-30Ni-0.35C Alloy and pure metals was investigated by using PDSC(pressure differential scanning calorimeter). As the pressure increased from 1 atm to 60 atm, the $A_s$points of the ausformed martensite and the marformed martensite in Fe-30Ni-0.35C Alloy were lowered about $2~4^{\circ}C$ at reverse transformation. This is why the volume change came down at phase transition(from martensite to autenite). As the pressure increased from 1 atm to 60 atm, $A_f$ points were constant or slightly increased. This is due to the promotion of carbide precipitation with increasing pressure. The enthalpy change of the ausformed martensite in Fe-30Ni-0.35C Alloy was increased by 10~14J/g. The melting points of the pure metals, Se, Sn, Pb, Zn and Te were slightly increased with increasing pressure. The enthalpy changes of the pure metals at melting were little changed or slightly increased with increasing pressure.

When the steel containing Si is oxidated in hi temperature, Re2O3, Red scale is made on the metal side as the spike phase, and this scale invasion into matrix. Therefore, it affects the feature, after rolling. It is reported that the role of Si is FeO/Fe2SiO4 eutectic compound, but Si can not affect pure iron independently. There must be Ni, then the spike phase can exist. Prominence and depression made by Ni that is necessity at the process to work iron. Therefore, in this study after the change of the amount of Ni in pure iron and steel and oxidation, the structure of the oxide and the surface, and the distribution of the elements were considered. In conclusion, at 100$0^{\circ}C$, 110$0^{\circ}C$, 120$0^{\circ}C$ the curves of oxidation weight are all S curves. Especially, in the beginning of oxidation as the amount of Ni increase, the amount of oxidation also increase. Practical steel has less oxidation than pure steel added Ni. There is much FeO in Fe-Ni alloy, compare to practical steel which has much Fe3O4. Especially, we could know considerable Ni was concentrated on the metal side in Fe-Ni alloy, practical steel. and the surface of the scale.

It has been known that Pd-MILC shows much faster and lower temperature crystallization than Ni-MILC but it can not be put into practice due to the quality issue of thus fabricated poly crystals. In this study, addition of Pd into Ni-MILC has been attempted in order to take advantages of the Pd-MILC without sacrificing of the Ni-MILC TFTs. It turns out that when 5% of Pd has been added to Ni for MILC, MILC growth rate increases two - three times faster than pure Ni-MILC. The MILC growth rate shows monotonic increase with increase the amount of Pd in Ni up to 50%. Even when small amount of Pd was added to Ni like 5%, crystallization phenomenon already follows the way of Pd-MILC. The Poly-W thus fabricated shows lower leakage current than pure Ni-MILC TFT without losing any amount of on-current This fact is very important in low temperature poly-TFTs because MILC-TFTs, especially suffer from the relatively high leakage current

The hydrogen-storage properties of a mechanically-alloyed Mg-18wt.%Ni mixture were investigated. Among the mixtures mechanically alloyed for 1h, 3h, and 6h, the mixture mechanically alloyed for 6h(MA 6h sample) shows the best properties of activation, hydriding, and dehydriding. The $Mg_2Ni$ phase forms in the mechanically-alloyed Mg-18wt.%Ni mixture along with hydriding-dehydriding cycling. The MA 6h sample is relatively easily activated and has higher hydriding rate than the pure Mg, the Mg-10wt.%Ni alloy, and a little lower hydriding rate than the $Mg_2Ni$alloy. The MA 6h sample lower dehydriding rate than the $Mg_2$Ni alloy but higher dehydriding rate than the pure Mg and the Mg-25wt.%Ni alloy. The MA 6h sample has larger hydrogen-storage capacity than the pure Mg and the other alloys.

[서론] Pure Ti 및 Ti합금의 양극산화법에 의해 만들 수 있는 자기조직화된 나노튜브피막은 광촉매, 태양전지 등 다양한 분야에서 많은 연구가 되고 있다. 양극산화법에 의해 생성되는 산화피막층의 성장거동에 대해서 지금까지 용액의 pH, 온도 및 인가전압 등 양극산화조건의 영향에 대해 많은 연구가 보고 되었다. 하지만, 양극산화에 사용되는 기판의 특성에 대해서는 많은 연구가 이루어지지 않고 있다. 본 연구에서는 pure Ti 및 Ti-Ni합금에 양극산화법에 의해 생성하는 나노튜브 피막층의 성장거동에 대해 기판의 특성(Ni농도 변화 및 phase변화)이 피막층의 형태 및 성장거동에 미치는 영향에 대해서 조사 하였다. [실험방법] Sample은 pure Ti 및 Ti-xNi(x=49.0, 51.1, 52.2, 52.5 at.%)를 이용하였다. Ti-Ni합금은 아크용해로 제작 후 $1000^{\circ}C$ 에서 24시간 균질화 처리 후 20% 냉간압연을 하였다. 합금의 조성 및 결정구조 분석은 EPMA 및 XRD를 통해 조사 하였고, 양극산화는 미량의 물 및 불화암모늄을 포함한 에틸렌글리콜 용액에서 20, 35, 50V 20분간 실시하였다. 양극산화법에 의해 형성한 산화피막층은 FE-SEM 및 TEM을 통해 관찰 하였다. [결론] Pure Ti의 경우 모든 조건에서 나노튜브형태의 산화막이 형성되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 하지만, Ti-Ni 합금의 경우 20V, 35V에서는 sponge 형태의 산화막이 형성되고, 50V에서만 나노튜브형태의 산화막이 형성 되었다. 또한, 모든 시편에서 양극산화 시간이 증가함에 따라 나노튜브형태의 산화막은 sponge 형태로 구조적 변화가 일어나는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고, 기판 Ni농도가 증가 함에 따라 형성되는 산화막의 형태 변화는 가속화 되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는 양극산화 초기 Ti의 우선적 산화에 의해 Ti과잉의 나노튜브층이 생성되고, 동시에 산화막과 합금계면에 Ni과잉층이 형성되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 산화막과 합금계면에 생성된 Ni과잉층에 의해 양극산화 시간이 증가함에 따라 sponge형태의 산화막이 생성되는 것을 알 수 있었다.
