The main interdendritic phase which was formed during early solidification of the ternary Mg-Zn-Ca alloys is the $Ca_2Mg_6Zn_3$ phase. The microstructure of $Mg-6wt%Zn-0.1{\sim}0.3wt%Ca$ alloys consisted of MgZn precipitates and $Ca_2Mg_6Zn_3$ phase formed around the grain boundaries. In the alloys with the highest level of Ca($Mg-6wt%Zn-0.5{\sim}0.7wt%aCa$ alloys), the microstructure revealed wholly $Ca_2Mg_6Zn_3$ phase formed around the grain boundaries. The grain size of Mg-6wt%Zn-Ca alloys decreased significantly with increase in Ca content and, at 0.5wt% Ca or more, grain size becomes constant at about 60 ${\mu}m$. The tensile properties of the as-cast Mg-6wt%Zn-Ca magnesium alloys were improved due to grain refinement by addition of Ca.

Damping capacities of Mg-2.5%Al and Mg-2.5%Zn (in atomic) solid solutions were comparatively investigated in order to clarify the influence of solutionized Al and Zn elements on the damping characteristics of Mg. In this study, solid solutions with similar grain size were obtained by solution treatment at 678 K for different times (24 h for Mg-2.5%Al and 36 h for Mg-2.5%Zn), followed by water quenching at RT. The Mg-2.5%Al and Mg-2.5%Zn solid solutions showed similar damping capacities in the strain-amplitude independent region of 1 × 10^-6 ~ 1 × 10^-5 and in the strain-amplitude dependent region below 6 × 10^-4, over which the Mg-2.5%Zn solid solution possessed better damping capacity than the Mg-2.5%Al solid solution. The damping tendencies depending on strain-amplitude for the two solid solutions were analyzed and discussed in terms of similar length between weak pinning points (solutes) and different solute/dislocation interaction forces in Granato-Lücke model.

PDP용 녹색 $Zn_2SiO_4$:Mn 형광체의 발광특성과 결정성을 향상시키기 위해 co-dopant로 Mg를 첨가한 $(Zn_{1-x}Mg_x)_2SiO_4$:Mn 형광체를 합성하였다. 합성된 형광체의 발광특성을 PL로 조사한 결과, $Zn_2SiO_4$:Mn 형광체는 Mg의 농도에 관계없이 530nm에서 녹색 발광을 하였고, Mg의 농도가 0.5 mol%일 때 가장 높은 발광세기가 나타났다. 이것은 Zn과 이온반경이 비슷한 Mg가 치환되어 모체에서의 Mn으로의 에너지 전이가 증가하여 발광세기가 증가한 것으로 생각된다.

The effects of Zn and Mg amounts on the solidification characteristics, microstructure, thermal conductivity and tensile strength of Al-Zn-Mg-Fe alloys were investigated for the development of high thermal conductivity aluminium alloys for die casting. Zn and Mg amounts in Al-Zn-Mg-Fe alloys had a little effect on the liquidus / solidus temperature, the latent heat for solidification and the fluidity of Al-Zn-Mg-Fe alloys. Thermo-physical modelling of Al-Zn-Mg-Fe alloys by JMatPro program showed $MgZn_2$, AlCuMgZn and Al3Fe phases on microstructure of their alloys. Increase of Zn and Mg amounts in Al-Zn-Mg-Fe alloys resulted in gradual reduction of the thermal conductivity of their alloys. Increase of Mg amounts in Al-2%Zn-Mg-Fe alloys had little effect on the tensile strength of their alloys, but increase of Mg amounts in Al-4%Zn-Mg-Fe alloys resulted in steep increase of the tensile strength of their alloys.

용융아연 도금욕에 1~2% 정도 첨가된 Mg은 수지상 결정인 아연 스펭글의 크기를 미세화 시키고, 특히 $MgZn_2$ 및 $Mg_2Zn_{11}$ 금속간화합물로 석출되어 철에 대한 희생방식능을 높여 주는 역할을 함은 잘 알려진 사실이다. 여기서 Al은 수지상 결정인 아연 스펭글의 크기를 미세화 시키고는 역할도 하지만 $MgZn_2$ 및 $Mg_2Zn_{11}$ 석출의 총량을 감소시키지만 또한 $MgZn_2/Mg_2Zn_{11}$ 비를 증가시키는 역할을 함을 알 수 있었다. 특히 Al 및 Mg을 각각 2% 정도 첨가함으로 염수분무실험에서 도금층의 부식량이 일반 아연도금층에 비해 1/3 정도로 되었다.

The study was carried out to analyze the pollutant Fe, Cu, Cr, Zn, Cd for sediments collected from lake in K river basin. Three analytical methods currently used in Korea, Japan, U.S.A, were compared. Pretreatment using microwave digestion showed higher analytical results for Fe, Cu, Cr, Zn, Cd than Korean Official Method(KOM) and American Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure(TCLP) Method. Also, analytical results using microwave digestion, TCLP and KOM were as follows: 38.1-48.0 mgFe/kg, 10.2-15.9 mgFe/kg AND 3.5-12.6 mgFe/kg, 37.0-50.1 mgCu/kg, 0.06-0.24 mgCu/kg and 0.01-0.03 mgCu/kg, 137.0-152.0 mgZn/kg, 0.67-0.82 mgZn/kg and 0.3-0.5 mgZn/kg, respectively. From this result, a new analytical method for the determination of heavy metal in sediment should be developed for the accurate estimation of pollution degree in sediment.

The microstructure, mechanical and electrochemical properties of plasma electrolytic coatings (PEO) coatings on Mg-4.3 wt%Zn-1.0 wt%Y and Mg-1.0 wt%Zn-2.0 wt%Y alloys prepared by gas atomization, followed by compaction at 320 for 10 min under the pressure of 700 MPa and sintering at 380 and 420 respectively for 24 h, were investigated, which was compared with the cast Mg-1.0 wt%Zn alloy. All coatings consisting of MgO and $Mg_2SiO_4$ oxides showed porous and coarse surface features with some volcano top-like pores distributed disorderly and cracks between pores. In particular, the surface of coatings on Mg-1.0 wt%Zn-2.0 wt%Y alloy showed smaller area of pores and cracks compared to the Mg-4.3 wt%Zn-1.0 wt%Y and Mg-1.0 wt%Zn alloys. The cross section micro-hardness of coatings on the gas atomized Mg-Zn-Y alloys was higher than that on the cast Mg-1.0 wt%Zn alloy. Additionally, the coated Mg-1.0 wt%Zn-2.0 wt%Y alloy exhibited the best corrosion resistance in 3.5%NaCl solution. It could be concluded that the addition of Y has a beneficial effect on the formation of protective and hard coatings on Mg alloys by plasma electrolytic oxidation treatment.

The effect of trace metallic additives on microstructure, glossiness and hardness of Zinc electrodeposits was investigated by using sulfate bath and flow cell system. The preferred orientation of Zn deposits with Mg-Fe additives was (10$\ell$)+(002) mixed texture, while that of Zn deposits with Mg-Fe-Cr additives was ( $10\ell$). The preferred orientation of Zn deposits with Mg-Fe-X(X:Ni,Co) additives changed from ($10\ell$)+(002) to ($10\ell$) with increasing Mg additive from 5 to 10 g/$\ell$. The surface morphology of the Zinc deposits was closely related to the preferred orientation of the deposits. The glossiness of Zn deposits with Mg-Fe additives was similar to that of pure Zn deposit. The glossiness of Zn deposits with Mg-Fe-X(X:Ni,Cr) additives was lower than that of Zn deposits with Mg-Fe additives, while that of Zn deposits with Mg-Fe-Co additives was higher than that of Zn-Mg-Fe deposits. The hardness of Zn deposits with Mg-Fe-X(Ni,Co,Cr) increased with current density and amount of Mg additive. Hardness of Zn deposits was decreased and increased in comparison with Zn-Mg-Fe deposits for Mg-Fe-Co and Mg-Fe-Cr additives, respectively.

Compositional dependence of corrosion behavior of rapidly solidified Mg-rich Mg-Zn-Y alloys in NaCl aqueous solution has been investigated. Mg-Zn-Y ternary alloys containing small amounts of Zn exhibited low corrosion rate, although the $Mg_{98}Y_2$ (at. %) binary alloy showed severe corrosion with violet evolution of hydrogen. The alloy with highest corrosion-resistance was $Mg_{97.25}Zn_{0.75_Y_2$, its corrosion rate was about 1 mm year-1 in 0.17 M (1.0 wt. %) NaCl solution. $Mg_{97.25}Zn_{0.75}Y_2$ alloy exhibited passive region in anodic polarization curves when immersed in NaCl solution. Rapidly solidification and small amount of Zn addition may bring about an increase in electrochemical homogeneity of Mg-Zn-Y alloys, resulting in enhancement of corrosion resistance.

The magnesium fluoride ($MgF_2$) has very higher optical transmission than oxide or nitride material applied for gas barrier, so we manufactured Mg-Zn-F films with Mg-Zn-F target mixed in the various ratio of $MgF_2$ to Zn and characterized films' properties. Zn is used to increase packing density of barrier film. Thickness and optical transmission of Mg-Zn-F are 200 nm and over 90 %, respectively. The result of water vapor transmission rate at 38, RH 90 ~ 100% of the Mg-Zn-F film deposited with 4 : 6 ($MgF_2$ : Zn) ratio target reached below $1{\times}10^{-3}g$/($m^2{\cdot}day$), measuring limit of instrument.
