The tribological behaviour of monolithic SiC as well as SiC-TiC and SiC-TiC-$TiB_2$ particulate composite materials has been investigated in unlubricated oscillating sliding tests against $Al_2O_3$ at temperature in the range from room temperature up to $600^{\circ}C$. At temperatures below $600^{\circ}C$ the wear rate of the systems with the composite materials was up to 20 times lower than the wear of the $Al_2O_3$/SiC system and was dominated by the oxidation of the titanium phases. At $600^{\circ}C$ the oxidation rate of the TiC and -TEX>$TiB_2$ grains becomes predominant resulting in an enhanced wear rate of the composite rate of the TiC and TiB2 grains becomes predominant resulting in an enhanced wear rate of the composite materials. The coefficient of friction shows similar values for all materials of investigation, increasing from 0.25…0.3 at room temperature to 0.7…0.8 $600^{\circ}C$. The wear of the $Al_2O_3$/SiC system is mainly abrasive at temperatures above room temperature and is characterised by an enhanced wear of the alumina ball at $600^{\circ}C$.

The $0.94MgTiO_3-0.06SrTiO_3$ ceramics were prepared by the conventional mixed oxide method. The structural properties were investigated with sintering temperature and composition ratio by XRD, SEM and DT-TGA. According to the X-ray diffraction patterns of the $0.94MgTiO_3-0.06SrTiO_3$ ceramics, the cubic $SrTiO_3$ and hexagonal $MgTiO_3$ structures were coexisted. Increasing the sintering temperature from $1325^{\circ}C$ to $1400^{\circ}C$, average grain size was increased from $5.026{\mu}m$ to $8.377{\mu}m$. In the case of the $0.94MgTiO_3-0.06SrTiO_3$ ceramics sintered at $1325^{\circ}C$, dielectric constant, quality factor and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency were 21.66, 2,522(at 7.34GHz), $+71ppm/^{\circ}C$, respectively.

The $0.98MgTiO_3-0.02BaTiO_3$ ceramics were prepared by the conventional mixed oxide method. The structural properties were investigated with sintering temperature and composition ratio by XRD, SEM and EDS. According to the X-ray diffraction patterns of the $0.98MgTiO_3-0.02BaTiO_3$ ceramics, the hexagonal $BaMg_6Ti_6O_{19}$ and ilmenite $MgTiO_3$ structures were coexisted. The dielectric constant$({\varepsilin}_r)$ and quality factor$(Q{\times}f_r)$ were decreased with increasing the sintering temperature in the range of $1275^{\circ}C{\sim}1350^{\circ}C$. In the case of the $0.98MgTiO_3-0.02BaTiO_3$ ceramics sintered at $1275^{\circ}C$, dielectric constant, quality factor and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency were 20.27, 76,845, $-46.6ppm/^{\circ}C$, respectively.

Nanocrystalline materials have recently received significant attention in the area of advanced materials engineering due to their improved physical and mechanical properties. A solid-solution nanocrystalline powder, (Ti,Mo)C, was prepared via high-energy milling of Ti-Mo alloys with graphite. Using XRD data, the synthesis process was investigated in terms of the phase evolution. Rapid sintering of nanostuctured (Ti,Mo)C hard materials was performed using a pulsed current activated sintering process (PCAS). This process allows quick densification to near theoretical density and inhibits grain growth. A dense, nanostructured (Ti,Mo)C hard material with a relative density of up to 96 % was produced by simultaneous application of 80 MPa and a pulsed current for 2 min. The average grain size of the (Ti,Mo)C was lower than 150 nm. The hardness and fracture toughness of the dense (Ti,Mo)C produced by PCAS were also evaluated. The fracture toughness of the (Ti,Mo)C was higher than that of TiC.

Commercial ductile iron was coated with titanium and aluminum powders by low pressure plasma spraying and then irradiated with a $CO_2$ laser to produce anti-corrosive TiC composite layer. TiC carbides were precipitated homogeneously in a laser alloyed layer by in-situ reaction between carbon existed in the base metal and titanium with thermal sprayed coating. The formation of gas pores and brittle limited mixing zone with ledeburite microstructure in TiC composite layer were surpressed by the complementary alloying of aluminum. The hardness of TiC composite layer obtained by addition of titanium and aluminum was between 600 and 660 Hv, which was three times as high as the hardness of ferritic ductile iron. From the results of isothermal oxidation at 1123k for 24 hours in air, high temperature oxidation resistance of the TiC composite layer with aluminum was improved and doubled when compared with the TiC composite layer without aluminum.

The R-curve for in situ-toughened SiC-30 wt% TiC composites was estimated by the indentation-strength method and compared to that of monolithic SiC with toughened microstructure. Both materials exhibited rising R-curve behavior. The SiC-TiC composites, however, displayed better damage tolerance and higher resistance to crack growth. Total volume fractions of SiC key grains, which take part in toughening mechanisms such as crack bridging and crack deflection, were 0.607 for monolithic SiC ceramics and 0.614 for SiC-TiC composites. From the microstructural characterization and the residual stress calculation, it was inferred that this superior performance of SiC-TiC composites can be attributed to stress-induced microcracking at heterophase (SiC/TiC) boundaries and some contribution from carck deflection by TiC grains.

The effects of the carbon content ranging from 17.5 to 21.0 wt.% in TiC-30vol.% $Ni_3Al$ cenmet and the $Mo_2C$ content raging from 0 to 30 wt.% in TiC-20 vol.% $Ni_3Al$ cermet were investigated in the relation to the microstures and harbness. The speciment were sintered at 140$0^{\circ}C$, 143$0^{\circ}C$ and 145$0^{\circ}C$ for 60minutes. The results were summarized as follows; 1) The shrinkages and relative densitites of the specimens were incrased up to 20.0 wt.% C and then decreased. 2) The grains of TiC were almost the same size with the different content of carbon. Free carbons were appeared on the microstrures when carbon was added over 20.5 wt.% while TiC and $Ni_3Al$l were formed when carbon was added below 20.0 wt.%; 3) The lattice parameters of the $Ni_3Al$ and TiC phases were increased up to 20.5 wt.% C, and then saturated. 4) The hardess was increased up to 20.0 wt.% C, and then decreased. 5) The $Mo_2C$ made the TiC grains fine and the surrounding structure around TiC gains. 6) The micropores were decreased with increasing the binder and the sintering temperature. 7) The lattice parameter of the $Ni_3Al$l ana TiC were almost the samp up to 10 wt.% $Mo_2C$ and then decreased. 8) The hatdness was increased up to 5wt.% $Mo_2C$ and then decreased owing to the micrpores. 9) The more the binder phase, the higher the relative density and the proper $Mo_2C$ amount of $TiC-Ni_3Al$ cermets were obtained.

Solid solutions of $(Zr/Ti)O_2$ were prepared in powder form by the coprecipitation technique. After mixing with carbon or exposing to nitrogen gas at elevated temperature, titanium cations selectively diffused out from the oxide compound to form titanium carbide (TiC) or titanium nitride (TiN), respectively. TiN formed strong interfacial contacts between the oxide grains. In contrast, TiC formed as small crystallites on oxide grains but did not bind the matrix grains together. TiN therefore played a role in strengthening the interparticle bonding, but TiC weakened the bonding between grains. Partial diffusion of titanium cations also led to nanolayered structure being formed between the oxide grains, which provided weak interfacial layers that fractured in a step-wise fashion.

Plasma Transferred arc(PTA) hard facing process has been developed to obtain an overlay weld metal having excellent wear resistance. The effect of Ti, TiSi$_{2}$ and TiC powders addition on the surface of Aluminum alloy 5083 has been investigated with PTA process. This paper describes the result of test the performance of the overlay weld metal. The result can be summarized as follows 1. Intermetallic compound is formed on surface of base metal in Ti or TiSi$_{2}$ powder but the reaction with surface of base metal is little seen in TiC powder. 2. In formation of composite layer on aluminum alloy surface by plasma transferred arc welding process, high melting ceramics like TiC powder is excellent. 3. The multipass welding process is available for formation of high density of powder. But the more number of pass, the less effect of powder, it is considered, and limits of number of pass. 4. By increasing area fraction of TiC powder on Al alloy surface, in especially TiC powder the hardness increase more than 40% area fraction and 88% shows about Hv 700.

The mechanical and electrical properties of the pressureless annealed SiC-$TiB_2$ electro conductive ceramic composites were investigated as functions of the transition metal of $TiB_2$. The result of phase analysis for the SiC-$TiB_2$ composites by XRD revealed $\alpha$-SiC(6H). $TiB_2$, and YAG($Al_5Y_3O_{12}$) crystal phase. The relative density showed the lowest 84.8% for the SiC-$TiB_2$ composites added with 39vol.%$TiB_2$. Owing to crack deflection, crack bridging and YAG of fracture toughness mechanism, the fracture toughness showed the highest value of $7.8\;MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$ for composites added with 39vol.%$TiB_2$ under a pressureless annealing at room temperature. The electrical resistivity of the SiC-27vol.%$TiB_2$ composites was negative temperature coefficient resistance(NTCR), and the electrical resistivity of the besides SiC-27vol.%$TiB_2$ composites was all positive temperature coefficient resistance(PTCR) in the temperature range of $25^{\circ}C$ to $700^{\circ}C$.
