The purpose of this study is to clarify the influence of the reaction temperature and $AlCl_3$ content on the aluminide coating formation on Ni-based superalloy IN713C in CVD process and to compare its throwing power with that of Pack Cementation process. Aluminide coating was formed by CVD in hot-wall stainless tube reactor from an $AlCl_3-H_2$ mixture in the temperature range $850{\sim}1050^{\circ}C$. At reaction temperature $850^{\circ}C$, the coating thickness and the content of aluminium at the surface were increased as $AlCl_3$ heating temperature was raised. At reaction temperature $1050^{\circ}C$, they were not influenced by the variation of $AlCl_3$ heating temperature. When $AlCl_3$ heating temperature was fixed $125^{\circ}C$, the phases of the coatings were varied from $Ni_2Al_3$ to Al-rich NiAl and to Ni-rich NiAl with the reaction temperature. Therefore, in this study the reaction temperature has been found to be a major factor in determining the phase formed in CVD process. The throwing power of CVD was superior to that of Pack Cementation.

The esterification efficiency of several ionic liquids has been investigated to determine the feasibility for the conversion of free fatty acids to alkylester. Five ionic liquid catalysts having strong acidity, BPC[$AlCl_3$], BMIM[$Bf_4$], BMIM[$Pf_6$], EMIM[$Ntf_2$], BMIM[Otf], have been employed in this work. BPC[$AlCl_3$] has the highest esterification efficiency among the ionic liquid catalysts. Over 90% conversion efficiency has been achieved in the esterification of the simulated used cooking oil by BPC[$AlCl_3$] with two hours reaction time. Since BPC[$AlCl_3$] has several advantages such as high esterification activity, ease of separation from reaction mixture and reusability after treatment procedure, it will be a promising catalyst for the conversion of free fatty acids to esters in waste fats.

Aluminum electrodeposition was carried out in dimethylsulfone ($DMSO_2$) baths containing 6.2-28.3 mol% $AlCl_3$ at 403 K. The electrochemically active species for Al electrodeposition in $DMSO_2$ baths were investigated. Electrochemical behavior of the electrolyte and the deposition mechanism were studied via cyclic voltammetry (CV). Properties of the deposits were assessed by scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. In addition, structures of the ionic complexes formed with aluminum in the bath were characterized by $^{27}Al$ nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. NMR spectra revealed that all baths contained two ionic species: $AlCl_4{^-}$ and $[Al(DMSO_2)_3]^{3+}$. Al electrodeposited when the $[Al(DMSO_2)_3]^{3+}$ concentration was the highest (23.3 mol% $AlCl_3$) exhibited fine grain sizes, relatively smooth surfaces, and high purities.

We investigated the high-excitation voltage cathodoluminescence (CL) performance of blue light-emitting (ZnS:Ag,Al,Cl) and green light-emitting (ZnS:Cu,Al) phosphors coated with metal oxides ($SiO_2$, $Al_2O_3$, and MgO). Hydrolysis of the metal oxide precursors tetraethoxysilane, aluminum isopropoxide, and magnesium nitrate, with subsequent heat annealing at $400^{\circ}C$, produced $SiO_2$ nanoparticles, an $Al_2O_3$ thin film, and MgO scale-type film, respectively, on the surface of the phosphors. Effects of the phosphor surface coatings on CL intensities and aging behavior of the phosphors were assessed using an accelerating voltage of 12 kV. The MgO thick film coverage exhibited less reduction in initial CL intensity and was most effective in improving aging degradation. Phosphors treated with a low concentration of magnesium nitrate maintained their initial CL intensities without aging degradation for 2000 s. In contrast, the $SiO_2$ and the $Al_2O_3$ coverages were ineffective in improving aging degradation.

A series of aluminum complexes supported by $\beta$-ketoamino, ligand-bearing, 3-position substituents $LAlEt_2$ ($L=CH_3C(O)C(Cl)=C(CH_3)NAr\;(L_1)$, $L=CH_3C(O)C(H)=C(CH_3)NAr\;(L_2)$, $L=CH_3C(O)C(Ph)=C(CH_3)NAr\;(L_3)$, and $L=CH_3C(O)C(Me)=C(CH_3)NAr\;(L_4)$, $Ar=2,6-^iPr_2C6H_3$) were synthesized in situ and employed in the ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of $\varepsilon$-caprolactone ($\varepsilon$-CL) and cyclohexene oxide (CHO). The 3-position substituents on the $\beta$-ketoamino ligand backbone of the aluminum complexes influenced the catalyst activity remarkably for both ROP of $\varepsilon$-CL and CHO. Aluminum $\beta$-ketoamino complexes displayed different catalytic behavior in ROP of $\varepsilon$-CL and CHO. The order of the catalytic activity of $LAlEt_2$ was $L_1AlEt_2$>$L_2AlEt_2$>$L_3AlEt_2$>$L_4AlEt_2$ for ROP of $\varepsilon$-CL, being opposite to the electron-donating ability of the 3-position substituents on the $\beta$-ketoamino ligand, while the order of the catalytic activity for ROP of CHO was $L_1AlEt_2$>$L_3AlEt_2$>$L_4AlEt_2$>$L_2AlEt_2$. The effects of reaction temperature and time on the ROP were also investigated for both $\varepsilon$-CL and CHO.

This paper was studied on the characteristics of crevice corrosion prevention of SS 400 in marine environment. In NaCl solution, polarization behavior under the crevice corrosion was investigated. And Weight loss rate of SS 400 applied cathodic protection and non cathodic protection was measured according to the NaCl concentration. The main results obtained are as follows : The weight loss rate of Al-alloy galvanic anode was increased as the concentration of NaCl solution increased by 3.5% but the concentration increased over 3.5%, that of Al-alloy galvanic anode become decreased. The protective potential of SS 400 used Al-alloy galvanic anode becomes more cathodic polarization with increasing concentration of NaCl solution. Effects of oxygen on the weight loss rate of Al-alloy sacrificial anode for cathodic protection as the concentration of 3.5% NaCl solution become sensitive than that of 0% NaCl solution.

The pyroprocessing of spent nuclear fuel generates LiCl-KCl eutectic waste salt containing radioactive rare earth nuclides. It is necessary to develop a simple process for the treatment of LiCl-KCl eutectic waste in a hot-cell facility. In this study, capture and solidification of a rare earth nuclide (Nd) in LiCl-KCl eutectic salt using an inorganic composite with a $Li_2O-Al_2O_3-SiO_2-B_2O_3$ system was conducted to simplify the existing separation and solidification process of rare earth nuclides in LiCl-KCl eutectic waste salt from the pyroprocessing of spent nuclear fuel. More than 98wt% of Nd in LiCl-KCl eutectic salt was captured when the mass ratio of the composite was 0.67 over $NdCl_3$ in the eutectic salt. The content of $Nd_2O_3$ in the Nd captured-composite reached about 50wt%, and this composite was directly fabricated into a homogeneous and chemical resistant glass waste in a monolithic form. These results will be utilized in designing a process to simplify the existing separation and solidification process.

금속재료 중 알루미늄(Al)은 일반적으로 많이 사용되는 철강재에 비해 그 비중이 약 $1/3(2.7g/cm^3)$인 경량이고 열전도율이 약 3배($196kcal/^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$)로 높은 특성 등을 갖고 있다. 또한 대량생산에 의한 경제성을 가지기 때문에 건축 구조재, 전기 및 가전 등 다양한 산업 분야에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 특히, 위와 같은 특성으로 인해 열교환기의 종류에서 응축기(Condenser) 및 증발기(Evaporator)는 알루미늄(Al)을 널리 사용하고 있다. 하지만 단일 응축기 부품에도 이종 알루미늄 소재가 사용됨에 따라 갈바닉 부식이 발생할 수 있다는 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 현재 상용되고 있는 열교환기 중 응축기에서의 이종 알루미늄 재료로 인해 나타나는 갈바닉 부식 특성을 관찰-분석-연구 하였다. 본 연구에 사용된 알루미늄 재료는 현재 응축기 재료 중에서 각각 Tube와 Fin으로 널리 상용되고 있는 Al 1100과 Al 3003을 사용하였다. 표면 모폴로지는 SEM을 통해 관찰하였고 EDS를 통해 조성원소를 분석하였다. 또한 내식성 평가를 위해 5% NaCl 환경에서의 SST(Salt spray test, 염수분무시험) 시험과 3% NaCl 용액 내 자연침지 시험 및 탈기된 3% NaCl 용액 내 전기화학적 동전위 양극 분극 시험을 진행하였으며 더불어 갈바닉 부식 시험에 따른 혼합 전위 측정 및 외관 관찰을 하였다. 각 재료는 실험에 대해 동일한 표면적을 노출시켜 시험하였다. 5% NaCl 환경에서의 염수분무 시험 결과 Fin(Al 3003)의 경우에는 Tube(Al 1100) 보다 빠른 부식거동을 보이며 국부적인 공식부식(Pitting corrosion)이 촉진되었다. Tube(Al 1100)의 경우에는 치밀한 Al2O3 형성과 부식에 따른 Al(OH)3를 생성함에 따라 Fin(Al 3003)에 비해 느린 부식거동을 보였다. 3% NaCl 용액 내 자연 침지 및 전위 측정 결과 초기 전위는 Fin(Al 3003, 약 -0.85V/SCE)이 Tube(Al 1100, 약 -1.05V/SCE)에 비해 더 높은 값을 가지며 약 72시간 이후 Tube(Al 1100) 시편이 더 안정적인 전위 값을 나타냈다. 이는 안정적인 Al(OH)3 피막 형성에 기인한 것으로 사료된다. 탈기된 3% NaCl 용액 내 전기화학적 동전위 양극 분극 시험 결과 Fin(Al 3003) 시편에서 더 귀한 부식 전위 값을 나타냈지만 부식 전류는 더 낮은 값을 나타냈다. 상기 시험 결과를 바탕으로 Fin-Tube 간 장기간 접촉 시에는 갈바닉 부식이 발생할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다. 갈바닉 부식 시험 결과 초기 혼합 전위는 약 -1.05 V/SCE를 나타냈으며 약 288시간 경과 후 약 -0.85 V/SCE 값을 나타냈다. 이는 자연 전위 측정 및 동전위 양극 분극 시험에서의 부식 전위 값에서 알 수 있듯이 더 비한 전위인 Tube(Al 1100) 시편이 Fin(Al 3003) 시편에 대해 희생양극적(Sacrificial anode)인 역할을 한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 갈바닉 부식 전위 측정 간 외관 관찰에서도 Tube(Al 1100) 시편은 빠르게 흑변 하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며 Fin(Al 3003) 시편은 침지 300시간 이후에도 초기와 유사한 표면 상태 및 광택을 유지하였다. 이상의 SST 시험, 자연 침지 시험, 전기화학적 양극 분극 시험 및 갈바닉 부식 시험 결과를 바탕으로 단일 부품 내 이종 알루미늄 소재 간 접촉 및 그에 따른 갈바닉 부식 발생을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 동종 성분이라고 할지라도 단일 부품 제작 시에는 그 사용 환경에 따라 이종 금속 재료의 사용에 대한 재고가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.
