A transmission electron microscope investigation has been performed on the morphology of dislocations in deformed ${\gamma}^{\prime}-Ni_3(Al,Ti)$ alloys containing fine dispersion of disordered ${\gamma}$ particles. Superlattice dislocations dissociate into fourfold Shockley partial dislocations in a uniform supersaturated solid solution of the ${\gamma}^{\prime}$ phase. Dislocations are attracted into the disordered ${\gamma}$ phase and dissociate further in the particles. At any stage of aging, dislocations cut through the particles and the Orowan bypassing process does not occur even in the over-aged stage of this alloy system. The work necessary to pull the dislocation away from the disordered particles into the ordered matrix should mainly contribute to increase the strength of the ${\gamma}^{\prime}$ phase containing fine dispersion of the disordered ${\gamma}$ phase.

Titanium and its alloys have been widely used for orthopedic implants because of their good biocompatibility. We have previously shown that the crystalline titania layers formed on the surface of titanium metal via anodic oxidation can induce apatite formation in simulated body fluid, whereas amorphous titania layers do not possess apatite-forming ability. In this study, hot water and heat treatments were applied to transform the titania layers from an amorphous structure into a crystalline structure after titanium metal had been anodized in acetic acid solution. The apatite-forming ability of titania layers subjected to the above treatments in simulated body fluid was investigated. The XRD and SEM results indicated hot water and/or heat treatment could greatly transform the crystal structure of titania layers from an amorphous structure into anatase, or a mixture of anatase and rutile.The abundance of Ti-OH groups formed by hot water treatment could contribute to apatite formation on the surface of titanium metals, and subsequent heat treatment would enhance the bond strength between the apatite layers and the titanium substrates. Thus, bioactive titanium metals could be prepared via anodic oxidation and subsequent hot water and heat treatment that would be suitable for applications under load-bearing conditions.

Al합금과 경합을 하는 경량재료에는 금속재료로서는 Mg 및 Ti이 있는데, 이들 은 고가라는 단점이 있다. 또 비금속재료로는 플라스틱.수지등이 있는데, 산업폐기물 등의 문제가 있으나, Al합금은 재활용이 용이하다. 그러나 구조재료로서의 Al합금의 특성에는 아직 많은 결점을 가지고 있으며, 가장 큰 결점의 하나는 철강재료에 비하여 내마모성이 현저하게 떨어진다는 것이다. 그러므로 이 점이 개선된다면, Al합금은 경량구조용 재료로서 다양한 분야에서 철강재료를 대신할 수 있을 것으로 전망된다. Al합금에 대한 내마모특성을 부여하기 위한 종래의 표면경화기술로서는, 고경도합금 의 채용, 알루마이드처리등이 있는데, 충분한 경도가 얻어지지 않거나, 또는 고경도가 얻어져도 경화층의 깊이가 마이크론단위에 불과하여 고하중하에서의 내마모특성 등에 대한 문제가 있었다. 이들 방법 이외에도 PVD, CVD, 도금 등에 의한 표면피복 방법과 표면의 합금화에 의한 표면경화법 등에 있어서 여러 방법들이 있으나, 경도가 높고 또한 후막의 경화층으로서 박리의 위험이 적은 표면경화처리기술은 확립되어 있지 않다고 할 수 있다. 따라서, 이 분야에 대한 기술개발이 산업계로부터 강하게 요구되 고 있으며, 또한 이것과 관련된 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 본 해설에서는. 내마 모특성에 따른 Al후막기술의 현상과 그 대표적인 기술로서, 표면용융에 의한 합금화 를 이용하는 표면경화기술에 대하여 소개한다.

Four microalloyed steels containing B were investigated in terms of hardenability, mechanical properties and microstructure depending upon the cooling rates in order to develop the steel grade for the cold forged fasners. The alloy with the largest DI value among 4 alloys, which contains $0.12\%\;C,\;1.54\%\;Mn,\;0.65\%\;Cr,\;0.11\%V,\;0.040\%Ti\;and\;0.0033\%B$, showed the larest shift to the right hand side in the TTT diagram, implying the wide allowable cooling rate range subsequent to hot rolling in long bar processing, Mechanical tests indicated that yield strength are dependent upon the DI value in water quenched specimens but other properties showed almost the same values. In the same grade of steel, the increase in cooling rates causes the decrease in elongation but the increase in strength, reduction of area and Charpy impact values. Microstructural examination in steel grade with the larest DI values revealed martensitic structure In the water quenched state, a mixture of martensite and bainite in the oil quenched, and ferrite + pearlite in the air cooled and the forced air cooled but the latter showed finer microstructure.

Corrosion failure of petrochemical facilities is one of the difficulties in maintenance, since operating conditions of crude oil production, storage, and refinement are very aggressive. UNS N08810, which has been used for crude oil transportation pipes and storage tanks in petrochemical industries, shows good resistance to general corrosion and localized corrosion in several environments. Among its environments, UNS N08810 showed better corrosion resistance in fuel gas containing sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid and sulfur. However, ductility and toughness at high temperature over about $500^{\circ}C$ were greatly reduced due to microstructural change. In general, welding process is the representative method to join the parts in industrial components. Because the alloy by welding can be sensitized and corroded, the manufacturing process should be controlled. In this work, UNS N08810 was used and heat treatment conditions including solution and stabilization treatments were controlled. Oxalic acid etch test by ASTM A262 Practice A was done to evaluate the qualitative sensitization in room temperature. Huey test by ASTM A262 Practice C was done to evaluate the intergranular corrosion rate in boiling 65% $HNO_3$ solution. Also, the microstructure by thermal history was analyzed. Experimental alloy showed high intergranular corrosion rate and its corrosion mechanism was elucidated.

A study on the shear bonding strength between dental alloy and porcelain according to various kidns of sputtered metallic thin films was established by Ingtron universal testing machine, and the change of the elemental weight % at the surface of dental alloy was studied by E.D.S. The kind of metallic thin films were Al, Ni, In, Cr. Ti and Sn with $0.3{\mu}m$ thickness. The dental alloys were Verabond made by Aalba Dent. Co. and Degudent H manufactured by Degussa Co. The control groups were Verabond and Degudent H. The obtained results were as follows; 1. The shear bonding strength of Al plated sample was the strongest of all. 2. The shear bonding strength of Ni plated sample was stronger than that of Degudent H, Sn plated samples. 3. The shear bonding strength of Verabond was weaker than that of Al, Ni, In, Cr, plated samples. 4. After degassing, it is more weight % of Ni at the alloy surface of the Ni sputtered specimen than the Sn sputtered sample.

Wide band gap semiconductors, such as III-nitrides (GaN, AlN, InN, and their alloys), SiC, and diamond are expected to play an important role in the next-generation electronic devices. Specifically, GaN-based high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) have been targeted for high power, high frequency, and high temperature operation electronic devices for mobile communication systems, radars, and power electronics because of their high critical breakdown fields, high saturation velocities, and high thermal conductivities. For the stable operation, high power, high frequency and high breakdown voltage and high current density, the fabrication methods have to be optimized with considerable attention. In this study, low ohmic contact resistance and smooth surface morphology to AlGaN/GaN on 2 inch c-plane sapphire substrate has been obtained with stepwise annealing at three different temperatures. The metallization was performed under deposition of a composite metal layer of Ti/Al/Ni/Au with thickness. After multi-layer metal stacking, rapid thermal annealing (RTA) process was applied with stepwise annealing temperature program profile. As results, we obtained a minimum specific contact resistance of $1.6{\times}10^{-7}{\Omega}cm2$.

As the engine design change to get high efficiency and performance of commercial diesel engine, surface wear of the cam follower becomes an important issues as applied load increasing at the contact face between cam follower and cam. Purpose of this study is the developing of the ceramic cam follower made of silicon nitride ceramic which is more wear resistant than the cast iron and sintered cam follower. Ceramic cam follower was made by direct brazing of thin ceramic disk to steel can follower body using active bracing alloy. Effect of joining condition on the interfacial phases and joining strength wer examined at bvarious joining temperatures, times, and cooling rates. Crowning resulted from the difference of thermal expansion coefficient after direct brazing without using any stress-relieving inter layer was measured. Interfacial phases are mainly titanium silicide and titanium nitride which are the products between active metal(Ti) in brazing alloy and silicon nitiride. Maximum joining strength of the ceramic metal joint, measured by DBS method, was 334MPa. Crowning(R) of the prototype ceramic cam follower was 1595mm. As machining for crowning is not necessary, production cost can be reduced.
