From isothermal and cyclic oxidation tests on thermomechanically treated Ti-5%Al, Ti47%Al-4%Cr, and Ti-48%Al-2%Cr-2%Nb alloys at 800, 900, 1000℃ in air, it was found that Ti-48%Al-2%Cr-2%Nb and Ti-47%Al-4%Cr had the best and the worst oxidation resistance, respectively. The oxide scales consisted primarily of TiO₂and Al₂O₃, with and without a small amount of dissolved Cr and 7b ions, depending on the alloy composition. These ions were slightly enriched inside the inner oxide layer, and strongly enriched around the scale-matrix interface. The outer TiO₂-rich layer was formed by the outward diffusion of Ti ions, while the inner (TiO₂+A1₂O₃,) mixed layer was formed by the inward transport of oxygen. The outward movement of Al ions farmed the intermediate Al₂O₃-rich Iayer, above talc prepared alloys.

We investigated the composition dependence of the tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) behavior and the stability of the magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) with TiAlOx barrier and the microstructural evolution of TiAl alloy films. The TMR ratio increased up to $49\%$ at $5.33\;at\%$ Ti. In addition, a significant tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) value of $20\%$ was maintained after annealing at $450^{\circ}C$, and the breakdown voltage ($V_B$) of and 1.35 V were obtained in the MTJ with $5.33\;at\%$ Ti-alloyed AlOx barrier. These results were closely related to the enhanced quality of the barrier material microstructure in the pre-oxidation state. Ti alloying enhanced the barrier/electrode interface uniformity and reduced microstructural defects. These structural improvements enhanced not only the TMR effect but also the thermal and electrical stability of the MTJs.

Biomimetic apatite formation and deposition behaviors of Ti-6Al-7Nb and Ti-6Al-4V plates in simulated body fluids(SBF) under various conditions were examined. In case of regular samples without collagen treatments the weight gain due to apatite precipitation on the surface in Ti-6Al-4V was found to be higher than in Ti-6Al-7Nb. In case of collagen-coated samples, the weight gain in Ti-6Al-4V continued to be higher than in Ti-6Al-7Nb, but the difference between the two became smaller. Both Ti-6Al-7Nb and Ti-6Al-4V samples with collagen coating exhibited an appreciable increase of weight gain, which may be caused by the interaction between collagen and $Ca^{+2}$ ions. The weight gain was found to be not much affected by the addition of collagen to SBF. The ill-defined granular structure in the presence of collagen can be associated with the increasing volume fraction of amorphous calcium phosphate.

Three kinds of $Al_3Ti-Cr$ alloys, namely, $Al_{67}Ti_{25}Cr_8,\;Al_{66}Ti_{24}Cr_{10}\;and\;Al_{59}Ti_{26}Cr_{15}$, were prepared by induction melting followed by the thermomechanical treatment. The corrosion behavior in 3.5% NaCl solution and the high-temperature oxidation behavior at 1000, 1100 and $1200^{\circ}C$ for the prepared alloys were investigated. Electrochemical results indicated increased resistance to localized corrosion with increasing Cr content. Cr additions were found to prevent passive film from undergoing brittle fracture. XPS results revealed the passive films of $Al_3Ti-Cr$ alloys were composed mainly of $Al_2O_3$ that coexisted with $TiO_2$ and $Cr_2O_3$. The overall oxidation resistance of the prepared alloys were excellent. Specifically, the oxidation resistance increased in the order of $Al_{59}Ti_{26}Cr_{15},\;Al_{66}Ti_{24}Cr_{10}\;and\;Al_{67}Ti_{25}Cr_8$. As the Al content in the base alloys increased, the $Al_2O_3$ formation was facilitated leading to the increased oxidation resistance.

The thermal stability of "stuffed" TiN/Ti barrier matals with different annealing history has been studied to improve the contact reliability of Al/Si contacts in 16M DRAM. The annealing conditions before the Al deposition such as film thickness, the annealing temperature and the annealing ambient have been varied. For TiN(900A)/Ti(300A) annealed at 450 in nitrogen ambient to form a "stuffed barrier" by inducing oxygen atoms into grain boundaries, there is no observation of Al penetrations into Si substrates after the post heat treatment of up to 700 even though there are massive amounts of Al found in TiN film after the post heat treatment of 600 indicating that TiN has a "sponge-like" function due to its ability to absorb several amounts of aluminum at elevated temperature. The TiN/Ti diffusion barrier annealed at 550 has, however, failed after the post heat treatment at 600. The thinner diffusion barriers with TiN(300A)/Ti(100A) failed after the post heat treatment at 600.he post heat treatment at 600.

To understand the effect of Fe on the oxidation behavior of TiAl alloys, TiAl-(2, 4, 6at% )Fe were oxidized at 800 and 90$0^{\circ}C$ in air. The oxidation resistance of TiAl-Fe alloys increased with increasing an iron content. The scales formed consisted of an outer $TiO_2$ layer, an intermediate $A1_2$$O_3$ layer, and an inner mixed ($TiO_2$+$A1_2$$O_3$) layer, being similar to other common TiAl alloys. But, the scales formed on TiAl-Fe alloys were generally thin compared to those formed on pure TiAl, and contained dissolved iron. Below the oxide scale, an oxygen affected zone was formed. This beneficial effects of Fe on increasing the oxidation resistance and scale adherence of TiAl alloys were attributed to the refinement of oxide grains, increased scale adherence and the enhanced alumina-forming tendency.

In this study, we attempted to develop a convenient aluminizing process, using Al-Ti mixed slurry as an aluminum source, to control the Al content of the aluminized layer as a result of a one-step process and can be widely adopted for coating complex-shaped components. The aluminizing process was carried out by the heat treatment on disc and rod shaped S45C steel substrates with Al-Ti mixed slurries that were composed of various mixed ratios (wt%) of Al and Ti powders. The surface of the resultant aluminized layer was relatively smooth with no obvious cracks. The aluminized layers mainly contain an Fe-Al compound as the bulk phase. However, the Al concentration and the thickness of the aluminized layer gradually decrease as the Ti proportion among Al-Ti mixed slurries increases. It has also been shown that the Al-Ti compound layer, which formed on the substrate during heat treatment, easily separates from the substrate. In addition, the incorporation of Ti into the substrate surface during heat treatment was not observed.

본 연구에서는 아크 소스를 이용하여 TiAlN을 코팅하였으며 공정 변수 중 질소 유량에 다른 TiAlN 박막의 물성 변화를 관찰하였다. TiAlN은 고경도 난삭재의 고능률 절삭 분야에 사용되어 공구의 수명을 향상하기 위한 표면처리 소재로 각광을 받고 있다. TiAlN 박막은 아크 소스에 장착된 TiAlN 타겟(Ti-50 at %Al)을 사용하여 스테인리스 강판 위에 코팅 하였으며 이 때 기판과 타겟 간의 거리는 약 30 cm이었다. 기판을 진공용기에 장착하고 ${\sim}10^{-6}$ torr까지 진공배기를 실시한 후 아르곤 가스를 진공용기 내로 공급하여 공정 압력인 $7{\times}10^{-4}$ torr로 제어한다. 공정 압력에서 아크 소스에 약 70 A의 전류를 인가하여 아크를 발생시키고 기판 홀더에 약 -400 V의 직류전압을 인가하여 약 5분간 청정을 실시하였다. 기판의 청정이 끝나면 기판에 인가된 전압을 차단하고 질소 가스를 진공용기에 공급하여 TiAlN을 코팅하였다. 질소 유량이 30 sccm일 경우 TiAlN 박막의 경도가 약 2510 Hv로 가장 높았으며, 질소의 유량이 40 sccm 이상으로 증가할 경우 TiAlN 박막의 경도는 1500 Hv로 주목할 만한 변화는 없었다. 질소 유량이 증가하면 TiAlN 박막의 색상은 회색에서 어두운 보라색으로 변화하였고 주사전자현미경 분석을 통해서 거대 입자(macro particle)가 감소하는 경향을 확인할 수 있었으며 이는 질소 유량이 증가할수록 TiAlN 박막의 표면조도 또한 증가하는 분석결과와 일치하였다. X-선 회절 분석을 통해 질소 유량이 30 sccm 이상에서 박막의 질화가 일어나고 2500 Hv 이상의 경도를 가지는 최적 조건임을 확인하였으며, 이는 절삭 공구 등과 같이 고경도 유지를 위한 코팅 분야에 적용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과를 바탕으로 질소 유량 외에 다른 공정 조건을 변화시켜 TiAlN 코팅을 실시한다면 다양한 색상 구현, 고경도, 내마모성 등 TiAlN 박막의 기능성을 향상할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

The present study describes the process of producing low oxygen content alloy powder from Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-8Al-1Mo-1V (AMS 4972) alloy scraps using hydrogenation-dehydrogenation (HDH) and deoxidation in solid state (DOSS) processes. Each prepared powder was deoxidized with Ca contact and non-contact method to compare the deoxidation capability. It is known that the non-contact deoxidation method, using Ca vapor above the melting temperature $T_m$ of Ca, has greater deoxidation capability. However, Oxygen contents in Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-8Al-1Mo-1V powder after non-contact deoxidation method were higher than those after contact deoxidation method. Therefore, we investigate the effect of Al - the richest alloy element in theses Ti based metals - on the deoxidation processes.
