MAO ceramic coatings were prepared on AZ61 magnesium alloy for various processing times ranging from 5 to 60 min, in an electrolyte solution based on silicate-fluoride. The mechanical, electrochemical and, microstructural properties and the phase compositions of the coating layers were investigated. In this work, unlike previous studies, coatings with high amounts of the $Mag_2SiO_4$ phase were formed which contained small amounts of MgO and $MgF_2$ at a processing condition of 30 min. A microstructural analysis revealed that the porosity of the coatings was reduced considerably with an increase in the processing time, together with a change in the pore geometry from an irregular to a spherical shape. Potentiodynamic polarization and mechanical testing results showed that the coatings acquired after a processing time of 30 min were superior to all of the others.

For advanced civil engineering structures a service life of hundred up to hundred fifty and even two hundred years is sometimes required. The prediction of the performance of concrete structures over such a long period requires accurate and reliable predictive models. Most of the presently used, mostly experience based models don't have the quality and reliability that is required for reliable long-term predictions. The models designers are searching for should be based on an accurate description of the relevant degradation mechanisms. The starting point of such models is a realistic description of the microstructure of the concrete. In this presentation the need and the role of fundamental microstructural models for predicting the performance of concrete structures will be presented. An example will be given of a microstructural model with a proven potential for long-term predictions. Besides this also the role of models in general, i.e. in the whole design and execution process of concrete structures, will be dealt with. Finally recent trends in concrete research will be presented, like the research on self-healing cement-bases systems.

In order to study on the effect of SiC whisker in flexural strength characterization of macro defect-free (MDF) cement composites, which composed of high alumina cement and polyvinyl alcohol, microstructural characterization of the composite specimens fabricated by the addition of SiC whiskers was investigated. Microproes are created around the SiC whisker, MDF cement didn't react with the SiC whisker. However, flexural strength of the composites have been improved. Fracture morphology of the composites, presents mainly intergranular type fracture passing around the unhydrated particles and siC whiskers, and partially transgranular type fracture. The main strengthening mechanisms of the MDF cement composites reinforced with SiC whiskers are characterized by crack deflection, microcracking, and bridging of cracks.

Effect of Li2O.4B2O3 frit addition on microstructural and thermal expansion behaviour of the $\beta$-spodumene ceramics made from kaolinite was investigated. With 2.0~4.0 wt% frit addition, the densification by liquid phase sintering caused low water absorption below 3% and enhancement of beding strength. As the amount of frit addition was increased, thermal expansion coefficient was increased to large scale, but in 2 wt% frit addition, its thermal expansion coefficient was constrained to 1.92$\times$10-6$^{\circ}C$-1.

The microstructural dependence of thermal conductivity of a high-alumina (ca. 70%) heat-insulating frebricks(ca. 75%porosity) was investigated under special consideration of the tailored-pore shape effects. Pores different shape could be incorporated into the insulators through pore formers : Styrofoam produces spherical pores while saw dust results in parallel plate pores. Concerning the pore-shape effectiveness of thermal insulation, the specimen with irregular plate pores showed much lower values of heat conductivity than those with spherical pores, the values being 0.31 to 0.38 at $600^{\circ}C$ and 0.35 to 0.47 at 100$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. On the contrary, however, other material properties such as strength and softening temeprature under load were turned out to be better in the case of the spherical pores.

In this study, microstructural and electrical properties of (Pb)(La,Nd)TiO$_3$ ceramics were investigated as a function of CuO addition. Taking into consideration Tc of 3$25^{\circ}C$, dynamic range of 49dB( at the wafer form) and density of 7.71g/㎤, it can be concluded that the specimen S2 sintered at 120$0^{\circ}C$ is the best for the resonator application. Dynamic characteristics of energy-trapped 20MHz SMD type resonator as a function of internal dot size variation were also investigated. Dynamic range characteristics showed the highest value of 60.72dB at S2-4(dot size 1.13mm).

The microstructural changes of $NiCrAlY/ZrO_2$-$Y_2$$O_3$ composite coatings that were manufactured by air-plasma-spraying were investigated using XRD and SEM/EDS. The as-sprayed microstructure consisted of (Ni,Cr)-rich regions, ($ZrO_2$-$Y_2$$O_3$)-rich regions, and $Al_2$$O_3$-rich layers that were formed during spraying owing to the oxidation of Al in NiCrAlY. During oxidation between 900 and $1100^{\circ}C$ in air, Cr in the (Ni,Cr)-rich regions diffused toward the $Al_2$$O_3$-rich layers, and oxidized to be dissolved in $A1_2$$O_3$-rich layers. The oxidation of Ni in the (Ni,Cr)-rich regions was less distinct, except at the outer surface of the coating.

Densification behavior of nano-agglomerate powder during pressureless sintering of Fe-Ni nanopowder was investigated in terms of diffusion kinetics and microstructural development. To understand the role of agglomerate boundary for sintering process, densification kinetics of Fe-Ni nano-agglomerate powder with different agglomerate size was investigated. It was found that activation energy for densification was lower in the small-sized agglomerate powder. The increase in the volume fraction of inter-agglomerate boundary acting as high diffusion path might be responsible for the enhanced diffusion process.

In the present work, the sintering behavior of high strength Al-5.6Zn-2.5Mg-1.6Cu (in wt.%) alloy compacts prepared from elemental powders was investigated. Microstructural evaluation was accompanied by XRD and DSC methods in order to determine the temperature and chemical composition of the liquid phases formed during sintering. It was found that three transient liquid phases are formed at 420, 439 and 450 $^{\circ}C$. Microstructural study revealed the progressive formation of sintered contacts due to the presence of the liquid phases, although the green compact expands as a result of the melt penetration along the grain boundaries. While Zn melts at ${\sim}420\;^{\circ}C$, the intermetallic phases formed between Al and Mg were found to be responsible for the formation of liquid phase and the dimensional change at higher temperatures.

In all conventional sintered PM products, the pores present are of two types, primary and secondary. Primary pores forming during compaction and latter during sintering, due to penetration of formed liquid through the matrix grain boundary. Effect of carbon addition on diffusion of Cu in SH737-2Cu system was investigated. After compaction and transient liquid phase sintering at $1120^{\circ}C$ and $1180^{\circ}C$, samples were characterized for densification, showing rise in sintering density and reduction in swelling on carbon addition. Quantitative microstructural characterization (shape factor and pore size) revealed bimodal distribution for 0% carbon, more rounded pores for 0.9% carbon and higher sintering temperature, and pore coarsening at higher sintering temperature.
