A newly developed Advanced Indentation System (AIS), which is a portable and nondestructive system for evaluating tensile properties, was used to measure mechanical behavior of materials used under high temperature and pressure conditions. This test measures indentation load-depth curve during indentation and analyzes the mechanical properties related to deformation and fracture. Aging effects of Cr-Mo and Cr-Mo-V steel at high temperature were simulated. Tensile properties including yield strength and tensile strength at various temperature are obtained from the test. For all test materials and conditions, the AIS-derived results were in good agreement with those from conventional standard test method. Examples of the test results ate given and potential applications of the AIS to assess the integrity of aging structures are briefly discussed.

The typical microstructure of Al-5%Mg-2%Zn cast alloy mainly consists of an aluminum matrix with a small amount of AlMgZn 2nd phase. The secondary dendrite arm spacing and the grain size of the cast alloy tend to be inversely proportional to the section thickness of casting; however, the tensile properties cannot be said to be clearly related to the cast microstructure. After T6 heat treatment, the tensile strength of the alloy was enhanced significantly. TEM analysis results show that very fine AlMgZn precipitates were formed after the heat treatment. The corrosion resistance, measured according to the corrosion potential, was found to increase slightly after the conducting of heat treatment.

Particles of high strength material when coated with silver offer a means of obtaining desirable electrical properties and high strength. The coating process employed aqueous ammoniacal silver-nitrate electrolytes with a formaldehyde solution as the reductant. Modifying additives were also applied. The reduction and subsequent deposition of silver occurred selectively on the surface of the tungsten particles. The morphologies of the coated particles were assessed by SEM imaging. The silver was uniformed coated on tungsten powder and its thickness was estimated to be approximately 100nm on the basis of a mass account.

The discharge of fly ash that is produced by coal-fired electric power plants is rapidly increasing in Korea. The utilization of fly ash in the raw materials would contribute to the elimination of an environmental problem and to the development of new high-performance materials. Fly ash consists of a glass phase. As it is produced from high temperature, it is a chemically stable material. Fly ash mostly consists of $SiO_{2}$ and $Al_{2}O_{3}$, and it assumes the form of an oxide in the inside of fly ash. Because this reaction has not broken out by itself, it is need to supply it with additional $OH^{-}$ through alkali activators. We used alkali activators for supplying it with additional $OH^{-}$. This paper concentrated on the strength development according to the kind of chemical activators, the curing temperature, the heat curing time.

Porous and net-shaped tantalum powder for a capacitor was formulated in a SHS (self-propagating high-temperature synthesis) process. However, this powder, which has weak strength among its particles and low flow ability, cannot be used for a capacitor. Therefore, this powder was sintered in a high-vacuum furnace to increase agglomeration to improve the flow ability, bonding strength among the particles, and shrinkage during pellet sintering. Finally, it was deoxidated with 2 wt% Mg powder to remove the increased surface oxygen that arose during the sintering process. The final product was analyzed in terms of its chemical and physical properties and was compared with a commercial powder used by a capacitor manufacturer.

A high strength steel sheet (HSSS) has widely used to improve the specific rigidity of parts and the safety of the passenger in automotive industries. However, the HSSS is difficult to manufacture precise parts through a forming process due to the reduced elongation and the increased elastic recovery. The goal of the paper is to investigate the improved design of bending dies for DP590 HSSS. The over forming type bending dies with cam systems added to the side of the formed part is proposed to improve the quality of the part. The effects of the die design and the forming parameter on formability and elastic recovery characteristics is examined using finite element analyses (FEAs). From the results of FEAs, proper die design and forming parameters are predicted.

The main objective of this research is to examine the behavior of high-strength concrete(HSC) columns. Eight test columns in one-third scale were tested under the conditions of cyclic lateral force and a constant axial load equal to 30% of the column axial load capacity. The $200{\times}200mm$ square columns were reinforced with eight DB bars constituting a longitudinal steel ratio of 2.54% of the column cross-sectional area. The main experimental parameters were volumetric ratio of transverse reinforcement(${\rho}_s$=1.58, 2.25 percent), tie configuration(Type H, Type C, Type D) and tie yield strength($f_{yh}$=548.8 and 779.1 MPa). It was found that the hysteretic behaviour and ultimate deformability of HSC columns were influenced by the amount and details of transverse reinforcement in the potential plastic hinge regions. Columns of transverse reinforcement in the amount 42 percent higher than that required by seismic provisions of ACI 318-02 showed ductile behavior. At 30% of the axial load capacity, it is recommended that the yield strength of transverse reinforcement be held equal to or below 548.8 MPa. Correlations between the calculated damage index and the damage progress are proposed.

Extrusion concrete panel is made by extrusion of high viscosity paste. The high viscosity paste is made by mix of cement, silica, reinforced fiber and thickening agent in the dry mixer and wet mixer subsequently, extrusion in the extruder, and curing in the normal steam curer and high pressure steam curer subsequently. To increase a flexural strength of the panel, it is used inorganic fiber as like asbestos. But it was known that the asbestos was harmful to human being lately, in the domestic area it is restricted usage in the construction materials. So, it is demanded the alternative material for asbestos in the extrusion concrete panel. This study is to investigate that the sepiolite is possible to be the alternative of asbestos. The 3 types of sepiolite is applied to the extrusion concrete panel. To investigate the properties of the panel with sepiolite, it is compared the control with asbestos in the flexural strength, the specific density and the spot compressive strength. From the test results, it was found that the panel with sepiolite B is higher than the control with asbestos in the flexural strength and in the density.

This paper studies the effects of steel fibre geometry and architecture on the cracking behaviour of steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC), with the reinforcements being four types, namely 5DH ($Dramix^{(R)}$ hooked-end), 4DH, 3DH-60 and 3DH-35, of various hooked-end steel fibres at the fibre dosage of 40 and $80kg/m^3$. The test results show that the addition of steel fibres have little effect on the workability and compressive strength of SFRC, but the ultimate tensile loads, post-cracking behaviour, residual strength and the fracture energy of SFRC are closely related to the shapes of fibres which all increased with increasing fibre content. Results also revealed that the residual tensile strength is significantly influenced by the anchorage strength rather than the number of the fibres counted on the fracture surface. The 5DH steel fibre reinforced concretes have behaved in a manner of multiple crackings and more ductile compared to 3DH and 4DH ones, and the end-hooks of 4DH and 5DH fibres partially deformed in steel fibre reinforced self-compacting concrete (SFR-SCC). In practice, 5DH fibres should be used for reinforcing high or ultra-high performance matrixes to fully utilize their high mechanical anchorage.
