SiC particles reinforced Mg-Zr, Mg-Zn and Mg-Zn-Zr composites were manufactured by Rheocompocasting method. Effects of Zn, Zr addition on microstructures and hardness were investigated by using the micro Vickers hardness tester, the optical and scanning electron microscopy. By the Zr addition to the pureMg/SiCp composites, SiC particles become more homogeneously dispersed and grain refined so that the micro hardness of the composite increased. In case of Zn addition, although grain refinement and homogeneous dispersion effects of SiC particles were not obtained, hardness was more increased than the only Zr added composite by the formation of many Mg-Zn intermetallic compounds at grain boundary. In the Mg-Zn-Zr/SiCp composite, the highest value of hardness was obtained by triple effects such as grain refining, dispersion hardening of SiC particles and Mg-Zn compounds.

Effects of metal coating treatment on SiC particle on wetting behavior and interfacial strength were studied. Experimental variables are included types of coated metallic films such as Cu and Ni-P, and temperatures of heat-treatment under vacuum. The experimental results concerning wetting phenomena of liquid Al on SiC, showed that coating treatment of metallic film on SiC particles remarkably improves the wetting behavior of liquid Al on SiC, especially in the case of Ni-P coating. The interfacial strength of Al/SiC composites made of coated SiC plate was higher than that of the composite with non-coated SiC plate although the coating treatment was not perfect.

Aluminum alloy matrix composites reinforced by SiC particles were prepared by rheocompocasting, a process which consists of the incoporation and distribution of reinforcement by stirring within a semi-solid alloy. When the volume fraction of SiCp and stirring speed were fixed, the dispersion of SiCp in Al-matrix alloy depended on stirring time and solid volume fraction in slurry. The results were as follows : 1) As a dispersed SiCp during stirring at $647^{\circ}C$ in 6063-Al alloy, SiC was better dispersed than that other temperature, where solid volume fraction was 43% in slurry. 2) When increased solid fraction in slurry, rate of dispersing SiC increased during stirring and porosities decreased in matrix alloy after casting. 3) Inspite of stirring with 800rpm, since solid particles of matrix alloy in slurry joined each other and occured joining growth, so that SiC was not dispersed into solid particle.

The research trends for metal matrix composites have been on basic mechanical properties, fatigue behavior after aging and fractographic observations. In this study, the fatigue crack initiation as well as the fatigue crack growth behavior and the fracture mechanism were investigated through observations of the fracture surface on silicon carbide particles reinforced aluminum metal matrix composites(SiCp/Al). Based on the fractographic study done by scanning electron microscope and replica, crack growth path model and fracture mechanism are presented. The mechanical properties, such as the tensile strength, yield strength and elongation of SiCp/Al composites are improved in a longitudinal direction, however, the fatigue life is shorter than the basic Al6061 alloys. From fractographic observations, it is found that the failure mode is ductile in basic Ai6061 alloys. And because some SiC particles were pulled out from the matrix and a few SiC particles could be seen on the fracture surface of SiCp/Al, crack growth paths are believed to follow the interface of the matrix and its particles.

The new trisiloxane-bridged heterometallic dinuclear metallocenes, hexamethyltrisiloxanediyl(cyclopentadienyltitanium trichloride) (cyclopentadienylindenyl zirconium dichloride) , $C_3ITi-Cp(CH_3)_2Si-O-Si(CH_3)_2-O-Si(CH_3)_2-Cp-ZrIndCI_2$ (1) and hexamethyltrisiloxanediyl (cyclopentadienylindenylhafnium dichloride) (cyclopentadienylindenyl zirconium dichloride), $C_2IndHf-Cp(CH_3)_2Si-O-Si(CH_3)_2-Cp-ZrIndCl_2$ 2) connecting two dissimilar metallocenes were synthesized and used for ethylene polymerization in the presence of modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO) cocatalyst. The catalytic activity of heterometallic dinuclear metallocenes, 1 and 2 was lower than that of corresponding mononuclear metal-locene as well as two physically mixed catalysts, $CpTiCl_2/Cp_2ZrCl_2 and Cp_2HfCl_2/Cp_2ZrCl_2$. On the tither hand, MWD of PE obtained with 1 and 2 was remarkably broader ($M_w/M_n$) became up to 9.4) than those of PEs prepared with the corresponding mononuclear metallocenes and mixed catalysts. With analysis by GPC and CFC, it was found that PE produced by the heterometallic dinuclear metallocenes exhibited the definite bimodal GPC curves that should cause the broadening of MWD.

Al matrix composites as the most promising MMCs can be expected to be excellent engineering materials in the nearest future. So as to improve material properties of composite, many manufacturing processes have been developed. Among them, squeeze casting process which offers fine microstructure and near-net-shape is one of the most successful MMCs manufacturing processes. But, in case of with subsieve size particles (under 44 ${\mu}m$), it is very difficult to homogeneously distribute particles in matrix of Al matrix composite by various casting processes, including squeeze casting used so far. Duplex process which was developed in previous study was used to distribute the particle of subsieve size more homogeneously in matrix of Al matrix composite. Microstructures, wear and heat resistance characterization of Al-Si-Cu-Mg-(Ni)/SiCp manufactured by duplex process were examined to clarify the effect of manufacturing conditions, particle size of reinforcement and alloying elements. Al matrix composites reinforced with SiCp(10 ${\mu}m$) have the lowest wear amount among composites reinforced with 3 ${\mu}m$, 5 ${\mu}m$ and 10 ${\mu}m$ SiCp. The wear amount of Al matrix composites with 10 wt.% SiCp(3, 5, 10 ${\mu}m$) was decreased according to the increase of the sliding speed because abrasive wear takes place at high sliding speed of 4m/s and worn debris with block type occurs at low sliding speed of 1m/s. As for heat resistance, it is made clear that remarkable heat resistance property can be obtained by addition of Ni element in Al matrix composites.

The effect of particle sizes of the metal matrix composites containing 10 wt.%SiCp was investigated with using various tools. The results showed that tool life decreased considerably with increasing particle size and cutting speed. The wear resistance of TiC-coated tools was considerably higher than that of the other tools. It was observed that abrasive wear was the main responsible mechanism for wear of the tool thermal cracks were at high speed while a built-edge formation was also evident at lower speed.

Hot workability of SiCp/AA2024 composites reinforced with different vol. % of SiCp reinforcements (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, and 30 vol. %) was investigated by hot torsion tests. Hot restoration of the composites was studied from the flow curves and deformed microstructures. Dynamic recrystallization (DRX) was occurred in all the composites during the hot deformation at 370-43$0^{\circ}C$ under a strain rate of 1.0/sec. Also, the flow stress of the composites increased with increasing the SiCp reinforcement vol. % and the difference of flow stress between the composites decreased with increasing the deformation temperature.
