The effect of cooling rate on the solidification microstructure and segregation behavior of 7075 and 7050 aluminum alloy was investigated. Samples were solidified with cooling rates from 0.3 to $17^{\circ}K/sec$. Using the cooling curves of each sample, liquidus, eutectic and intermetallic reaction temperatures were estimated. The microstructures were characterized in terms of dendrite arm spacing and eutectic volume fraction. The segregation behavior of each alloying element of these alloys in various cooling rates was discussed.

The effect of Si3N4 addition on the microstructure and PTCR characteristics of BaTiO3 was studied. When 0.1 mol% Sb2O3-doped BaTiO3 codoped with Si3N4 (0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1 wt%, respectively) were sintered, their microstructures were changed by the amount of the liquid phase as a result of eutectic reaction at 126$0^{\circ}C$. By these microstructural changes, the specific resistivity ratio($\rho$max/$\rho$min) with Si3N4 content variation of 0.1 mol% Sb2O3-doped BaTiO3 ceramics sintered at 130$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour varied between 3.70$\times$102(0.1 wt% Si3N4) to 1.16$\times$103 (1wt% Si3N4).

Nominally undoped (intrinsic) ZnO thin films were deposited by magnetron sputtering system with utilization of substrate bias on silicon at $450^{\circ}C$. Oxygen gas was selected as sputtering gas. The deposited thins were evaluated with X-ray diffraction (XRD) for their microstructure analysis and Hall effect in Van der Pauw configuration for their electrical property. The XRD shows that the magnitude and polarity of substrate bias significantly influence the microstructure and electrical properties.

In the present study, $Si_3N_4-SiC$ ceramic composites that contained up to 20 wt% of dispersed SiC particles were fabricated via hot-pressing with an oxynitride glass. The microstructure, the mechanical properties, and the cutting performance of resulting ceramic composites were investigated. By fixing the composition as $Si_3N_4-20$ wt% SiC, the effect of sintering time on the microstructure, the mechanical properties, and the cutting performance were also investigated. For machining of gray cast i개n, the tool life increases with increasing the amount of SiC content in the composites; The tool life also increased with increasing the sintering time. The tool life of the home-made cutting tools was very close to that of commercial $Si_3N_4$ cutting tool. The superior cutting performance of $Si_3N_4-SiC$ ceramic cutting tools suggests the possibility to be a new ceramic tool material.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of microstructure on the damping capacity of 12Cr martensite heat-resisting steels, in case of the specimen with martensite phase contained the volume faction of ferrite phases, under 5%. The damping capacity was decreased with the increase of solution treatment temperature and time. While it was increased with the increase of tempering temperature and time. The damping capacity was higher in case of specimen with martensite single phase structure than the specimen with martensite phase contained of ferrite phases.

The effect of two step cold rolling and intermediate annealing conditions on the microstructure and texture evolution in type 430 stainless steel has been investigated tin order to improve ridging characteristic and deep drawability. The rolling and recrystallization textures were examined by orientation distributionfunction(ODF) and electron backscattered diffraction(EBSD). The observation showed that the intensity of ${\gamma}$-fiber was increased with two-step cold rolling process and so ridging characteristic and deep drawability were considerably improved. The relation between these properties an texture evolution has been discussed.

For biomedical applications, Ti-X%Zr-Y%Nb-0.2%Pd(X:10$\sim$20, Y:2$\sim$8) alloys not containing harmful Al and V were newly designed, and the effect of alloy composition and heat treatment on the microstructure and mechanical properties was investigated. From the results, it was shown that the mechanical properties were enhanced with the addition of Zr or Nb. The effect of heat treating on room temperature strength was investigated by aging treatment after solution treatment. The mechanical properties of Ti-20%Zr-4%Nb-0.2%Pd alloy aged at 400$^{\circ}C$ for 10hrs was found to be superior to those of the pure Ti and Ti-6%Al-4%V ELI alloy.

The effect of the second phase morphology on the fracture ductility of dual phase steel was studied by means of tensile tests carried out room temperature. In this case the second phase morphology is characterized by two kinds; one is the MEF microstructure in which martensite encapsulated islands of ferrite, the other is the FEM microstructure in which ferrite encapsulated islands of martensite. The fracture ductility is improved by variation of the second phase morphology, but is essentially uneffected in the range of high strength ratio (4.7). Also the variation of ductility is well understood according to the difficulty of cleavage crack formation of the ferrite grain and to the brittleness of the martensitic structure.

The effect of micro surface structure on printing for printed electronics has been studied experimentally. The photolithography MEMS fabricationwass used to make a SU-8 molder which has micro structures on the surface, and the PDMS micro structure was fabricated by the PDMS molding method. In the aspect of printed electronics, we used silver paste conductive ink. We measured the surface energy variation on pillar microstructure. The microstructure was used to real printing experiment by a screen printing. We printed 1cm micro lines which have $30{\sim}250{\mu}m$ width, and checked the conductivity to sort out opened line pattern. Printability was defined by success probability of printed patterns and we found that the present microstructures improve the printability significantly.

The effect of the microstructure of gray cast iron on friction properties was investigated by using a pad-on-disk type friction tester. Cast iron samples used in this investigation were obtained from "step block" castings, which were designed to produce microstructure with different graphite flake morphologies from different cooling rate and solidification rate. Results of this work showed that the gray cast iron disks with long graphite flakes showed less fading. The rotors containing smaller amounts of ferrite showed higher friction coefficient and better fade resistance than others.an others.
