The experimental study has been performed to deposit to deposit chromia powder on magnssium alloy for tribological and mechanical properties. The optimal condition was obtained by changing the spray condition such as working distance and gun power. As ceramics was coated onto the a light metal such as Mg according to the weight reduection of the car engine block, it could acquire that the engine efficiency deu to the weight reduction and properties such as resistance to heat, as well as wear. Coating qualities are discussed with respect to hardness, tribologicalproperty, and microstructure. The tribological and mechanical properties are investigated by using the reciprocal configuration tribometer and microharduess tester. Wear mode is determined by observing the SEM morhpology of wear track and cross section view of wear track.

Thed effects of sputter gas pressure and substrate surface micro-roughness on the microstructure and surface topography have been investigated in the Cu thin films sputter deposited onto polyimide substrates. The surface roughness of polyimide was controlled by oxygen rf plasma treatment. In the Cu film deposited at the pressure of 5 mtorr, the surface is smooth and the columnar structure is not visible regardless of polyimide surface more open boundaries. The polyimide surface roughness enhances these effects, These phenomena can be explained in therm of atomic shadowing effect.

Based on the pore filling theory, the microstructure evolution during liquid-phase sintering has been analyzed in terms of interrelationship between average grain size and relative density. For constant liquid volume fraction, the microsturucture trajectories reduced to a single curve in a grain size(x)-density(y) map, regardless of grain growth constant. The slope of curves in the map was inversely proportional to average pore size, while it increased fapidly with liquid volume fraction. Increase in pore volume fraction retarded the densification considerably, but showed marginal effect on the slope. The activation energy of densification was predicted to be the same as that of grain growth as long as the liquid volume fraction is constant for any temperature range studied. The present analyses on microstricture evolution may demonstrate the usefulness of pore filling theory and provide a guideline for process optimization of liquid-phase sintering.

In this study, the experiments were carried out for the purpose of establishment of aluminium cementation to steel surface by diffusible heat treatment after making the coated film onto the substrate by arc spray method. Also, the microstructure and mechanical properties of the cementation layer produced by this study were inspected for various heat treatment and spraying conditions. Main results obtained are as follow ; 1. The coating film characteristics which have excellent errosion-resistance, high temperature oxidation-resistance are obtained by aluminium penetration heat treatment after making the sprayed aluminum coating film onto the steel substrate. 2. Aluminium diffusion penetration takes place at higher temperature than 660.deg.C, and the more heat treatment time and the higher heat treatment temperature adopted, the deeper diffusion layer obtained. 3. Insert gas arc spraying using argon gas as the carrier gas higher improvement of mechanical property than that of compressed air environment. 4. The coating film characteristics appeared to be improvement of adhesive property, porosity plugging effect by heat treatment in air environment.

The effects of Si and austempering temperature on the fracture characteristics and the microstructures of austempered ductile irons were investigated. As Si content increased from 2.28% to 3.0%, the precipitation of carbides during bainitic transformation and was suppressed the amount of retained austenite increased resulting in the increase in the fracture toughness. It is believed that the high Si limited the formation of martensite in the microstructure and minimized the segregation of the other elements at cell boundaries. But in samples with too high Si content as 3.3%, the formation of islands of free ferrite in the bainitic structures was observed and the fracture toughness was measured to have degraded.

In this study, we investigated the effect of the Si content on the secondary dendrite arm spacing (SDAS) of hypoeutectic Al-Si binary alloys in the range of 4~10 wt% Si. Cooling curves were measured during the solidification of the alloy cast in a step-wise mold. We compared two kinds of solidification time: the first is the total solidification time for both dendritic and eutectic growth, and the second is the solidification time for only dendritic growth. The proportional constant in the relationship between SDAS and cooling rate was estimated, as this constant represents the stability of the cast microstructure. The proportional constant decreased with the Si contents from 4 wt% to 8 wt%, and it remains relatively uniform with up to 10 wt% of Si.

The mechannical properties and corrosion resistance of alloy added commercially pure titanium for dental implants have been investigated. Ti, To-65Zr, Ti-10.1Ta and Ti-17Sn alloys were melthed in arc furnace and the corrosion resistance of Ti alloys was evaluated by anodic polarization test. The microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti alloy were analysed by optical micrograph. hardness tester and instron. In isothermal test, Ti-10.1Ta and Ti-17Sn alloys exhibited the best oxidation resistance below $1100^{\circ}C$. Ti65Zr, Ti-10.1Ta and Ti-17Sn alloys showed better rockwell hardness compared with commercially pure. Ti As the result of the anodic polarization test in 5%HCl, it 5%HCl, it was known knows that Ti-65Zr, alloy showed a rapid decrease in current density at higher potenial in comparision with other Ti alloys.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of nitriding on the fatigue strength and fatigue life of turbine rotor steel (ICr-lMo-0.25V), and acquire data on the fatigue strength of nitrided turbine rotor steel at high temperature (538$^{\circ}C$). Specimens were nitrided with various layer thicknesses (160$\mu$m, 270$\mu$m and 290$\mu$m) using the nitemper method. A microstructure analysis, microhardness test, surface roughness test, and fracture surface analysis were also carried out at room temperature in order to investigate the mechanical properties of the nitrided specimens.

The platelet reinforced mullite-zirconia composites were prepared by pressurelss sintering with addition of Al2O3 or SiC platelets. The sintered density of 10 vol% Al2O3 platelet reinforced mullite-zirconia composite was 98.3% at 1700$^{\circ}C$. The fracture strength (290 MPa) and fracture toughness (4.9 MPa$.${{{{ SQRT { m} }}) in the Al2O3 platelet reinforced mullite-zirconia composite were enhanced compared with those of mullite-zirconia due to the crack deflection and load transfer effect of platelets. Whereas, the SiC platelet reinforced mullite-zirconia composite sintered at 1650$^{\circ}C$ showed relatively lower density (95.7%), fracture strength (170 MPa), and fracture toughness (3.9 MPa$.${{{{ SQRT { m} }} than the Al2O3 platelet reinforced mullite-zirconia composite.

Alumina were added to ceria based ceramic powders upto 9.7 vol% and composite powders were sprayed by plasma spraying process in order to improve the mechanical properties such as hardness fracture tough-ness and thermal shock resistance. The ceria based coating sprayed without alumina has the typical colum-nar and lamellar structure. Alumina addition has lowered the amount of columnar and lamellar sturcture Added alumina was segreagated in the grain boundary and grain of ceria based crystal accompanied with pore. The maximum value of density and the minimum value of porosity were observed at the sprayed coating with 4.8 vol% alumina. The hardness fracture toughness and thermal shock resistance were increased with alumina addition. The improvement of mechanical properties of plasma sparyed ceria based coatings result-ed from the disapperance of the columnar and lamellar sturcture by addition of alumina.
