Some alloying elements such as Cr, B, Ti and Si were added individually or as a mixture to Fe-30 at.%Al alloys. The alloys were melted using an arc furnace and then heat-treated for homogenization at 1000$^{\circ}C$ for 7 days and followed by rolling at 1000$^{\circ}C$. The alloying elements on rolling characteristics were investigated by the microstructures and fracture mode before and after rolling. The microstructures before rolling showed that all of the alloys had equiaxed grains. On the other hand, the microstructures of rolling plane as well as its perpendicular plane became elongated after rolling. The alloys such as Fe-30Al, Fe-30Al-3Ti, Fe-30Al-0.5B, Fe-30Al-5Cr and Fe-30Al-3Ti-0.5B revealed better rolling behaviour from the point that intergranular and cleavage fractures were not fundamentally occurred. But the addition of 5Ti or 3Si to Fe-Al alloys had detrimental effects. The Ti-added alloy system such as Fe-30Al-5Ti, Fe-30Al-5Ti-5Cr, Fe-30Al-3Ti-5Cr and Fe-30Al-5Ti-0.5B were cracked through grain and showed cleavage fracture. The Si-added alloy system such as Fe-30Al-5Si, Fe-27Al-3Si and Fe-27Al-5Cr-3Si were cracked along the grain boundary and showed intergranular fracture. $DO_3{\leftrightarrow}B_2$ transition temperature of Fe-30at.%Al alloy was 520$^{\circ}C$, whereas the addition of 3Ti and 3Ti+0.5B comparably increased the temperature to 797 and 773$^{\circ}C$, respectively.

Multilayer NbCxC1-x/Y2O3/Ti were sputter-coated on the alumina substrate, starting with a 0.7 ㎛ thick NbCxC1-x layer grown on substrate, followed by 0.7 ㎛ thick Y2O3 layer and 1 ㎛ thick Ti layer. To find out the optimum conditions for thickness uniformity and adhesion, sputtering works have been done with the variation of sputtering power and Ar pressure. After vacuum annealing at 950℃ and 1000℃, the thermal stability of the NbCxC1-x/Y2O3/Ti coated alumina substrates has been investigated by peel off test. The coating scheme didn't cause any debonded layer after an annealing at 950℃ for 3hrs. However, it was peeled off after annealing at 1000℃ for 3hr. It was found that the thermal stability of Al2O3/NbCxC1-x/Y2O3/Ti coating scheme changed with the NbCxC1-x composition.

Friction and wear behavior of hot isostatic pressed $Al_2O_3-TiC$ was experimentally examined. Pin-on-disk type friction and wear apparatus was designed and manufactured for the experiment. The experiments were conducted under unlubricated sliding motion in both low and high humidity for three kinds of sliding speed. $Al_2O_3-TiC$ and bearing steel were used as counterface materials. Friction coefficient, wear rate, and surface roughness were measured. Wear surface and wear debris were observed through optical microscope and SEM and analyzed by EDAX. The results showed that the counterface materials, the sliding speed, and the moisture at the sliding surface have significant influence on the friction coefficient and wear rate of $Al_2O_3-TiC$.

The mechanical and electrical properties of pressed and annealed $\beta-SiC-TiB_2$ electroconductive ceramic composites were investigated as a function of the liquid forming additives of $Al_2O_3+Y_2O_3$. Phase analysis of composites by XRD revealed $\alpha$-SiC(6H), TiB2, and (Al5Y3O12). Reaction between Al2O3 and $Y_2O_3$ formed YAG but the relative density decreased with increasing $Al_2O_3+Y_2O_3$ contents. The Flexural strength showed the value of 458.9 MPa for composites added with 4 wt% $Al_2O_3+Y_2O_3$ additives at room temperatures. Owing to crack deflection and crack bridging, the fracture toughness showed 6.2, 6.0 and 6.6 MPa.m1/2 for composites added with 4, 8 and 12 wt% Al2O3+Y2O3 additives respectively at room temperature. The resistance temperature coefficient showed the value of $3.6\times10^{-3},\; 2.9\times10^{-3}\; and\; 3.0\times10^{-3} /^{\circ}C$$^{\circ}C$ for composite added with 4, 8 and 12 wt% $Al_2O_3+Y_2O_3$additives respectively at room temperature. The electrical resistivity of the composites was all positive temperature coefficient resistance(PTCR) in the temperature range of $25^{\circ}C\; to\; 700^{\circ}$.

A Ti47Al1.7W-3.7Zr alloy was oxidized between $900^{\circ}C$ and $1050^{\circ}C$, and the oxide scales formed were studied. The oxide scales consisted primarily of an outer$TiO_2$ layer, an intermediate $Al_2$$O_3$-rich layer, and an inner mixed ($TiO _2$ + $Al_2$$O_3$) layer. Besides $TiO_2$ and $Al_2$$O_3$, oxidation led to the formation of some $Ti_2$AlN and TiN. Both W and Zr were preferentially segregated below the intermediate $Al_2$$O_3$-rich layer. Tungsten in the oxide scale was present as $WO_3$ and ${Ti}_{x}$$W_{1-x}$, whereas zirconium as monoclic-$ZrO_2$ and tetragonal-$ZrO_2$.

Purpose: In this study, brazing characteristics of $ZrO_2$ and Ti-6Al-4V brazed joints with increasing temperature were investigated. Materials and methods: The sample size of the $ZrO_2$ was $3mm{\times}3mm{\times}3mm$ (thickness), and Ti-6Al-4V was $10mm(diameter){\times}5mm(thickness)$. The filler metal consisted of Ag-Cu-Sn-Ti was prepared in powder form. The brazing sample was heated in a vacuum furnace under $5{\times}10^{-6}$ torr atmosphere, while the brazing temperature was changed from 700 to $800^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. Results: The experimental results shows that brazed joint of $ZrO_2$ and Ti-6Al-4V occurred at $700-800^{\circ}C$. Brazed joint consisted of Ag-rich matrix and Cu-rich phase. A Cu-Ti intermetallic compounds and a Ti-Sn-Cu-Ag alloy were produced along the Ti-6Al-4V bonded interface. Thickness of the reacted layer along the Ti-6Al-4V bonded interface was increased with brazing temperature. Defect ratios of $ZrO_2$ and Ti-6Al-4V bonded interfaces decreased with brazing temperature. Conclusion: Thickness and defect ratio of brazed joints were decreased with increasing temperature. Zirconia was not wetting with filler metal, because the reaction between $ZrO_2$ and Ti did not occur enough.

The oxidation behavior of a two-phase(Ti3Al+TiAl) intermetallic compound, Ti-33.8wt%Al, has been in-vestigated in air at 800, 900 and $^1000{\circ}C$. Though the isothermal oxidation behavior followed a parabolic law up to 100$0^{\circ}C$ indicating that protective oxide scales were formed, the cyclic oxidation behavior followed a lin-ear law in the entire temperature range tested because flaky or stratified scales were usually spalled from the surface during cooling. During oxidation at 80$0^{\circ}C$, the alloy showed excellent oxidation resistance because continuous protective Al2O3 films were formed on the outermost surface of the alloy. However, above $900^{\circ}C$, the oxidation resistance of the alloy was decreased gradually because relatively non-protective TiO2 scales as well as some of Al2O3 scales were formed on the outer oxide scale. The oxidation mechanism of the alloy at different temperature was proposed.

A feasible way to fabricate in-situ Al/TiC composites was investigated. An elemental mixture of $Al-TiO_2-C$ pellet was directly added into an Al melt at $800-920^{\circ}C$ to form TiC by self-combustion reaction. The addition of CuO initiates the self-combustion reaction to form TiC in $1-2{\mu}m$ at the melt temperature above $850^{\circ}C$. Besides the CuO addition, a diluent element of excess Al plays a significant role in the TiC formation by forming a precursor phase, $Al_3Ti$. Processing parameters such as CuO content, the amount of excess Al and the melt temperature, have affected the combustion reaction and formation of TiC, and their influences on the microstructures of in-situ Al/TiC composites are examined.

The monolithic dry gels of the Li2O-Al2O3-TiO2-SiO2 system were prepared by the sol-gel technique using metal alkoxides as starting materials to obtain monolithic glass-ceramics at low temperature without melting. Activation energy for the crystal growth of the gel with 6.05% TiO2, nucleating ageng, for the preparation of Li2O-Al2O3-TiO2-SiO2 system glass-ceramic was 101.14kcal/mol. As a result of the analysis of DTA & XRD, it was confirmed that the crytallization of Li2O-Al2O3-TiO2-SiO2 system glass-ceramic was the most efficient when 6.05% TiO2, nucleating agent, was added. $\beta$-eucryptite solid solution crystals and $\beta$-spodumene solid solution crystals were detected in the sample heat treated above 85$0^{\circ}C$. The sintered gel heat treated at 85$0^{\circ}C$ had the specific surface area of 185$m^2$/g, the pore volume of 0.19cc/g and the average pore radius of 20.8$\AA$. This shows that the sintered gel is also comparatively porous material. In temperature range of 25~85$0^{\circ}C$ thermal expansion coefficient of the specimen which was crystallized for 10hrs at 85$0^{\circ}C$ was 6.7$\times$10-7/$^{\circ}C$, which indicated that the crystallized specimen was turned out to be the glass-ceramic with low thermal expansion.

[ $Ti_3SiC_2$ ] was coated with $Al_2O_3$, MgO and $SiO_2$ respectively by sol-gel method and cured at 900 and $1200^{\circ}C$. The coated oxides did not react with $Ti_3SiC_2$ at $900^{\circ}C$ but reacted with it to form $TiC_x$ at $1200^{\circ}C$. The specimen coated with $SiO_2$ at $900^{\circ}C$ formed a dense protecting layer and showed the best oxidation resistance at $800^{\circ}C$ in air. However, the dense protecting layers did not form in $Al_2O_3$ and MgO coated specimens cured even at $900^{\circ}C$. MgO coated specimen showed the worst improvement in the oxidation resistance because the reactivity of MgO with $Ti_3SiC_2$ was highest. On the other hand, the electrical conductivities were measured in MgO and $Al_2O_3$ coated specimens to have TiCx but could not be measured in the $SiO_2$ coated ones because of the nonconductive dense protected layers.
