The demand for high strength and ultra-lightweight materials to incorporate the advanced technology of nanomaterials into the lengthening of structures is continuously increasing. Therefore, based on existing research results and numerous mixing trials, we derived a mix of high strength and ultra-light concrete of a compressive strength of 100 MPa with a unit weight of 18 kN/m³ and a compr essive str ength of 80 MPa with a unit weight of 16 kN/m³ and evaluated their per for mance. In this paper, 108 specimens corresponding to high strength and ultra-lightweight concrete with a compressive strength of 100 MPa under a unit weight of 18 kN/m³, and a compressive strength of 80 MPa under a unit weight of 16 kN/m³ were manufactured, and the bond characteristics were identified by performing a directly tensile tests, and the bond characteristics were evaluated by comparing them with the experimental results and the current design criteria. It was judged that the bond strength calculation formula of ACI-408R and the experimental results were not accurately reflected, so an bond stress equation based on ACI-408R was proposed. The result of the proposed equation was that the deviation was somewhat reduced. In addition, the results of calculating the CEB-FIP model and the modified CMR model using statistical analysis showed slight differences from the experimental results, but considering that the bond behavior is a local behavior, the proposed model appears to explain the bond behavior of high strength and ultra-light concrete as a whole.

Titanium carbonitride is more perspective materials compared to titanium carbide. It can be used in tool industry and special products because of its higher strength, abrasive wear-resistance and especially its strong chemical stability at high temperatures. We produced STS+TiCxNy composite by the spark plasma sintering for higher strength and studied the characteristics. The planar and cross-sectional microstructures of the specimens were observed by scanning electron microscopy. Characterizations of the carbon and nitride phases on the surface of composite were carried out using an X-ray diffractometer. During annealing TiCxNy particles diffusion into STS 430 was observed. After annealing, sintering isolations between particles were formed. It causes decreasing of mechanical strength. In addition when annealing temperature was increased hardness increased. Heterogeneous distribution of alloying elements particles was observed. After annealing composites, highest value of hardness was 738.1 MHV.

If FRP materials that have been known as high durability materials are exposed to harmful environmental factors, deterioration and characteristics of materials can be reduced due to chemical reaction such as hydrolysis. Therefore, to use FRP materials as building major materials, it is important to exactly grasp dynamic properties by use condition. Accordingly, this study stored FRP materials in a strong acid and alkali compound solution for a certain period to conduct simulation for acute or chronic, extreme changes by chemicals, and conducted a test for compressive, tensile, shear and bending strength to analyze changes in strength by kinds and storage days of chemicals. In conclusion, the study findings indicate excellent chemical resistance of FRP materials.

Yttrium oxide is one of the most thermo-dynamically stable materials, so that it is generally used as a dispersoid in many kinds of dispersion strengthed alloys. In this study, a nickel-base superalloy is strengthened by dispersion of yttrium oxide particles. Elemental powders with the composition of Ni-22Cr-18Fe-9Mo were mechanically alloyed(M.A.) with 0.6 wt% $Y_2O_3$. The MA powders were then HIP(hot isotactic press)ed and hot rolled. Most oxide particles in Ni-22Cr-18Fe-9Mo base ODS alloy were found to be Y-Ti-O type. The oxide particles were uniformly dispersed in the matrix and also on the grain boundaries. Tensile test results show that the yield strength and ultimate tensile strength of ODS alloy specimens were 1.2~1.7 times higher than those of the conventional $Hastelloy^{TM}$ X(R), which has the same chemical compositions with ODS alloy specimens except the oxide particles.

In this study, the effect of aging treatment on the microstructure and tensile properties of AZ61-xPd (x = 0, 1 and 2 wt%) alloys were investigated. The microstructure of as-cast AZ61-xPd alloys mainly consisted of ${\alpha}-Mg$, $Mg_{17}Al_{12}$ and $Al_4Pd$ phases. After solution treatment, most of the $Mg_{17}Al_{12}$ phases were dissolved into the Mg matrix. Thereafter, $Mg_{17}Al_{12}$ phases were finely formed and distributed near thermally stable $Al_4Pd$ phases and inside the grains through aging treatment at $220^{\circ}C$ during 88 hours. With the aging at $220^{\circ}C$, the peak aged AZ61-xPd alloys showed higher hardness than as-cast and solution treated AZ61-xPd alloys. In particular, the AZ61-1Pd alloy was optimized due to refined $Mg_{17}Al_{12}$ and $Al_4Pd$ phases. Further, the peak aging time was reduced with increasing Pd addition (>1 wt%). Tensile strength was increased by Pd addition at $25^{\circ}C$, $150^{\circ}C$, both as-cast and peak aged AZ61-xPd alloys. After aging treatment, room and high temperature tensile strength were increased more than the as-cast specimens. The AZ61-1Pd alloy especially showed the largest strength increase range. Elongation was decreased with addition Pd at $25^{\circ}C$ and $150^{\circ}C$.

It is well-known that nowadays heat resisting and anti-corrosive materials have been widely used as the components materials of gas turbines, nuclear power plants and engines etc. In the fields of machine production industry. And materials for engine components, like as the exhaust valve of internal combustion engine, have been required to operate under the high temperature range of $700^{\circ}C$-$800^{\circ}C$ and high pressured gas with repeated mechanical load for the high performance of engines. For these components, friction welding for bonding of dissimilar steels can be applied for in order to obtain process shortening, production cost reduction and excellent bonding quality. And age hardening recently has been noticed to the heat resisting materials for further strengthening of high temperature strength, especially high temperature fatigue strength. However, it is difficult to find out any report concerning the effects of age hardening for strengthening high temperature fatigue strength to the Friction welded heat resisting and anti-corrosive materials. In this study the experiment was carried out as the high temperature rotary bending fatigue testing under the condition of $700^{\circ}C$ high temperature to the friction welded domestic heat resisting steels, SUH3-SUS303, which were 10hr., 100hr. aging heat treated at $700^{\circ}C$ after solution treatment 1hr. at $1, 060^{\circ}C$ for the purpose of observing the effects of the high temperature fatigue strength and fatigue fracture behaviors as well as with various mechanical properties of welded joints. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1) Through mechanical tests and micro-structural examinations, the determined optimum welding conditions, rotating speed 2420 rpm, heating pressure 8kg/mm super(2), upsetting pressure 22kg/mm super(2), the amount of total upset 7mm (heating time 3 sec and upsetting time 2 sec) were satisfied. 2) The solution treated material SUH 3, SUS 303, have the highest inclination gradient on S-N curve due to the high temperature fatigue testing for long time at $700^{\circ}C$. 3) The optimum aging time of friction welded SUH3-SUS 303, has been recognized near the 10hr. at $700^{\circ}C$ after the solution treatment of 1hr. at $1, 060^{\circ}C$. 4) The high temperature fatigue limits of aging treated materials were compared with those of raw material according to the extender of aging time, on 10hr. aging, fatigue limits were increased by SUH 3 75.4%, SUS 303 28.5%, friction welded joints SUH 3-SUS 303 44.2% and 100hr. aging the rates were 64.9%, 30.4% and 36.6% respectively. 5) The fatigue fractures occurred at the side of the base matal SUS303 of the friction welded joints SUH 3-SUS 303 and it is difficult to find out fractures at the friction welding interfaces. 6) The cracking mode of SUS 303, SUH 3-303 is intergranular in any case, but SUH 3 is fractured by transgranular cracking.

This paper investigates the impact of fiber dispersion on the internal structure and mechanical strength of SiC_f/SiC composites manufactured using spread SiC fibers. The fiber volume ratio of the specimen to which spread SiC fiber was applied decreased by 9%p compared to the non-spread specimen, and the resin slurry impregnated between the fibers more smoothly, resulting in minimal matrix porosity. In order to compare the fiber dispersion of each specimen, a method was proposed to quantify and evaluate the separation distance between fibers in composite materials. The results showed that the distance between fibers in the spread specimen increased by 2.23 ㎛ compared to the non-spread specimen, with a significant 42.6% increase in the distance between fiber surfaces. Furthermore, the 3pt bending test demonstrated a 49.3% higher flexural strength in the spread specimen, accompanied by a more uniform deviation in test data. These findings highlight the significant influence of SiC fiber dispersion on achieving uniform densification of the SiC_f/SiC matrix and increasing mechanical strength.

CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics) is composed of carbon fiber and plastic resin, and is approximately 20 - 50% lighter than metallic materials. CFRP has a low density, higher specific stiffness, specific strength, and high corrosion resistance. Because of these excellent properties, which meet various regulation conditions needed in the industrial fields, CFRP has been widely used in many industries including aviation and ship building. However, CFRP reveals water absorption in water immersion or high humidity environments, and water absorption occurs in an epoxy not carbon fiber, and can be facilitated by higher temperature. Since these properties can induce volume expansion inside CFRP and change the internal stress state and degrade the chemical bond between the fiber and the matrix, the mechanical properties including bond strength may be lowered. This study focused on the effects of NaCl concentration (0.01 - 1% NaCl) and solution temperature ($30-75^{\circ}C$) on the galvanic corrosion between CFRP and A516Gr.55 carbon steel. When NaCl concentration increases 10 times, corrosion rate of a specimen was not affected, but that of galvanic coupled carbon steel increased by 46.9% average. However, when solution temperature increases $10^{\circ}C$, average corrosion rate increased approximately 22%, regardless of single or galvanic coupled specimen.

This study successfully prepared high-porosity aluminosilicate fibrous porous ceramics through vacuum suction filtration using aluminosilicate fiber as the primary raw material and glass powder as binder, with the appropriate incorporation of glass fiber. The effects of the composition of raw materials and sintering process on the structure and properties of the material were studied. The results show that when the content of glass powder reached 20 wt% and the samples were sintered at the temperature of 1,000 ℃, strong bonds were formed between the binder phase and fibers, resulting in a compressive strength of 0.63 MPa. When the sintering temperatures were increased from 1,000 ℃ to 1,200, the open porosity of the samples decreased from 89.08 % to 82.38 %, while the linear shrinkage increased from 1.13 % to 10.17 %. Meanwhile, during the sintering process, a large amount of cristobalite and mullite were precipitated from the aluminosilicate fibers, which reduced the performance of the aluminosilicate fibers and hindered the comprehensive improvement in sample performance. Based on these conditions, after adding 30 wt% glass fiber and being sintered at 1,000 ℃, the sample exhibited higher compressive strength (1.34 MPa), higher open porosity (89.13 %), and lower linear shrinkage (5.26 %). The aluminosilicate fibrous porous ceramic samples exhibited excellent permeability performance due to their high porosity and interconnected three-dimensional pore structures. When the samples were filtered at a flow rate of 150 mL/min, the measured pressure drop and permeability were 0.56 KPa and 0.77 × 10^-6 m² respectively.

Epoxy/microsilica (65 phr)/nanosilica (0~5 phr) composites (EMNC) were prepared in order to develop a high-voltage insulation material, where phr means parts per hundred relative to the epoxy oligomer. Tensile and flexural tests of the composites were carried out, and the AC electrical breakdown strength was measured, after which all the data were estimated by Weibull statistical analysis. As the nanosilica content increased, the tensile strength increased, and the highest value was 117.7 MPa in the EMNC system with 3 phr nanosilica, which was ca. 10% higher than that of the system without nanosilica. The value then decreased after 3 phr. The flexural strength and AC electrical breakdown strength showed the same tendencies as the tensile strength. The highest value of the flexural strength was 184.6 MPa in the EMNC system with 3 phr of nanosilica, which was ca. 15% higher than that of the system without nanosilica. The strongest value of the AC electrical breakdown strength was 79.0 kV/0.5 mm in the EMNC system with 3 phr of nanosilica, which was ca. 34% higher than that of the system without nanosilica.
