The sliding wear behavior of the plasma sprayed zirconia containing 8wt% yttria was investigated over a range of room temperature to 800℃. Both of the friction coefficient and the wear loss increased reaching its maximum at about to 499℃. and then decreased again with increasing temperature up to 800℃. The worn surface at elevated temperature were observed and analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffractometer to study the mechanisms of high temperature wear behavior. Surface morphology of the worn samples changes with temperature. Monoclinic (m)/tetragonal (t) x-ray peak intensity ratio of wear debris and worn surface decreased with increasing temperature. Non-transformable tetragonal (t') to metastable tetragonal (t) phase transformation of worn surface increased with increasing temperature. The results indicate that dehumidification and above phase changes are contributing to the high temperature wear behavior of the plasma sprayed ZrO2-Y2O3 coatings.

The tendency of glass containing titanium-dioxide to separate into two phases can be attributed to a change of the coordination number of titanium from six to four on increase of temperature and to "freezing" of the high temperature four fold coordination on cooling of the melt. Addition of TiO2 to the basic glass 8.7 $Na_2O$ 22.4B2O3 68.9 $SiO_2$ was varied 5 to 25 parts. The phase separation in the temperature range of transformation was examined with each heating temperature and soaking time. As the experimental results, the most distinct phase separation were obtained from alkali extraction method when $TiO_2$ was added 15 parts. The apparant activation energy was 30.5 Kcal/mole by alkali extraction method derived from Arrhenius plots.ius plots.

Phase-change materials can be cycled by exposure to laser beam, and as a function of the pulse intensity and duration, the laser beam triggers the switching from crystalline to amorphous phase and back. In other to progress better crystallization transition and amorphization long phase-transformation data of phase-change memory (PRAM), we investigated about the effect of Sb doping and Ag ions percolating into Ge-Se-Te phase-change material. Doped Sb concentrations was determined each of 10, 20 and 30 wt%. As the Sb-doping concentration was increased, the resistivity decreased and the crystallization temperature increased. Ionization of Ag was progressed by DPSS laser (532 nm) for 1 hour. The resistivity was more decreased and the crystallization temperature was more increased in case of adding Ag layer under Sb-(Ge-Se-Te) thin film. At the every condition of thin films included Ag layer more stable states were indicated compare with just Sb-doped Ge-Se-Te thin films.

Microstructure and phase transformation of mechanically alloyed TiNi powders added to aluminium matrix for enhancing the damping properties were studied. Four compositions between 48.5 and 51.5 at% Ti intermetallic compounds were selected to control the fraction of martensite phase. Mechanically alloyed TiNi powders were heat-treated at vacuum of $10^{-6}$ torr for crystallization. Ball milled AI/TiNi composite powders were swaged at room temperature and rolled at 450 $^{\circ}C$. After mechanical alloying for 10 hours, Ti and Ni elements were alloyed completely and amorphous phase was formed. Amorphous phase was crystallized to martensite (Bl9') and austenite(B2) after heat treating for 1 hour at the temperature of 850 $^{\circ}C$, and TiNi$_3$, intermetallic compound was partially formed. Considerable amount of martensite phase was remained after swaging and rolling.

Alumina membrane was prepared by sol-gel coating method using boehmite powder(${\Upsilon}-AlOOH$). The supported and the unsupported alumina membrane were fabricated to investigate the phase transformation and change of microstructure. It is important to control the homogeneous pore size and distribution in application of filtering process. The ${\theta}-to\;{\alpha}-AL_2O_3$ phase transformation (XRD) and the change of microstructure was investigated using scanning electron microscopy(SEM). XRD patterns showed that the supported membrane had $100^{\circ}C$ higher ${\theta}-to\;{\alpha}-AL_2O_3$ transformation temperature compared to the unsupported membrane. The similar effect was also observed for microstructural change of the membrane.

LaAlO3 Single crystals used as a substrate for thin film depositions of a high temperature oxide su-perconductor YB2Cu3O7 and applied to microwave frequencies were grown by the Traveling Solvent Flati-ing Zone (TSFZ) method and characterized. For the growth of LaAlO3 single crystals polycrystalline fe-edrods were prepared from powder mixture of La2O3 and Al2O3 with a mole ratio of 1:1 calcined at 110$0^{\circ}C$ for 3h and sintered at 140$0^{\circ}C$ for 4h The growth LaAlO3 crystals was 4-5mm in diameter 30mm in length and dark brown. The growth rate was 2-3mm/h and the rotation speeds were 10rpm for an upper ro-tation and 40 rpm for a lower rotation The growing crystals and the feedrods were counter-rotated. The orientation of the grown single crystals of LaAlO3 was identified to be [111] direction. Dielectric constants were measured to be 30-33 between 100 kHz and 1 MHz in the 30$0^{\circ}C$ to 45$0^{\circ}C$ temperature range and 102 in a range of 100 kHz at the phase transformation temperature of 522$^{\circ}C$ Dielectric losses were calculated to be 1.8$\times$10-4 at the room temperature and 5.7$\times$10-3 at the phase transformation temperature. Lattice con-stants of the grown crystlals were determined to be aR=5.3806 $\AA$ and $\alpha$=60.043$^{\circ}$ by the least square method.

An analysis is performed to investigate the influence of the buoyancy force and the thickness variation of melting layer in the containment that is filled with phase-change Material surrounding a cylindrical heating tube during melting process. The phase-change material is assumed to be initially solid at its phase-change temperature and the remaining solid at any given time is still at the phase-change temperature and neglecting the effect of heat transfer occuring within the solid. At the start of melting process, the thickness of melting layer is assumed to be a stefan-problem and after the starting process, the change of temperature and velocity is calculated using a two dimensional finite difference method. The governing equations for velocity and temperature are solved by a finite difference method which used SIMPLE (Semi Implicit Method Pressure linked Equations) algorithm. Results are presented for a wide range of Granshof number and in accordance with the time increment and it is founded that two dimensional fluid flow occurred by natural convection decreases the velocity of melting process at the bottom of container. The larger the radius of heating tube, the higher heat transfer is occurred in the melting layer.

$\alpha$-Alumna particles were prepared by a precipitation method with metal fluoride additive. Aluminum nitrate and ammonia solution were used as starting materials. $AlF_3$, $CaF_2$, and $MnF_2$ were utilized as additives. The effects of precipitation solvent and metal fluoride on the phase transformation temperature, size and morphology of $\alpha$-alumna particles were investigated. The solvent for precipitation did not affect the phase transformation temperature, while it influenced the size of $\alpha$-alumna particles. The phase transformation temperature to $\alpha$-alumna was reduced by addition of metal fluoride and was different with metal cation in metal fluoride ($AlF_3(800^{\circ}C)$ < $MnF_2(900^{\circ}C)$ < $CaF_2(950^{\circ}C)$). The addition of each of three metal fluorides led to the formation of platelike particles and, among the three additives, $MnF_2$ additive resulted in the formation of relatively small particle.

The inherent strain method is known to be very effective in predicting the plate deformation by line heating. Traditionally the inherent strain regions have been determined from the temperature distribution and the phase transformation regions(Ac3) of welding experiments. Since the phenomena of line heating are similar to those of welding, the experimental results under the same welding conditions have been applied directly to line heating analysis. The results cannot, however, reflect the effect of heating pattern and plate thickness. Besides, water-cooling in the actual heating process can alter the steel's phase to martensite and shear plastic deformation occurs during the transformation. In this study, the experimental measurement of temperature distribution was substituted with a transient heat transfer analysis using FEM so that we could obtain the temperature distribution according to heat flux models of the heating pass. In order to consider plastic strains occurring additionally under phase transformation, inherent strain regions were assumed to be limited to the eutectoid temperature(Ac1). Using the regions, plate deformations could be predicted to validate our method and the results were in good agreement with the experimental ones

Ta2O5 alloying into 3 mol% Y2O3-stabilized tetragonal ZrO2 polycrystals (3Y-TZP) increased the degradation during aging at 265℃ and the fracture toughness; both are determined by the amount of transformed m-ZrO2. It was proposed that the mechanism underlying the t→m transformation when aged at low temperatures is attributed to the reorientation of (Zzr'V ). complexes parallel to [111] lattice direction, which is accompanied by a relaxation of TZP lattice during annealing at low temperature. A small strain which results from the reorientation gives rise to a localized mechanical instability, thus lowering the nucleation barrier so that the t→m phase transformation (degradation) proceeds. The amount of transformed m-ZrO2 during aging becomes greater as the chemical free energy change related to the transformation, ΔGo, increases with increasing the Ta2O5 alloying content.
