The influence of Pd and Ag additions on the thermal stability, the glass forming ability (GFA) and mechanical property of $Zr_{55}Al_{10}Cu_{20}Ni_{10}Pb_{(5-x)}Ag_x$ (x = $0{\sim}5at%$) alloys obtained by melt spun and injection casting method have been investigated by using of X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis (DTA, DSC) and micro-Vickers hardness(Hv) testing. The thermal properties of melt-spun $Zr_{55}Al_{10}Cu_{20}Ni_{10}Pb_{(5-x)}Ag_x$ (x = $0{\sim}5at%$) alloys exhibit a supercooled liquid region(${\Delta}T_x$) exceeding 91 K before crystallization. The largest ${\Delta}T_x$ reaches as large as 126 K for the $Zr_{55}Al_{10}Cu_{20}Ni_{10}Pb_5$ alloy. The reduced glass transition temperature, $T_{rg}$ increased with increasing Ag content. The largest $T_{rg}$ is obtained for the $Zr_{55}Al_{10}Cu_{10}Ni_{10}Ag_5$ alloy. The $Zr_{55}Al_{10}Cu_{10}Ni_{10}Ag_5$ bulk amorphous alloy rod with 3 mm in diameter was fabricated by injection casting. Hv increased with increasing Ag content and the largest value was obtained for the $Zr_{55}Al_{10}Cu_{10}Ni_{10}Ag_5$ bulk amorphous alloy.

Both thermoplastic formability and electrical conductivity of Al-Ni-Y metallic glass with 12 different compositions have been investigated in the present study with an aim to apply as a functional material, i.e. as a binder of Ag powders in Ag paste for silicon solar cell. The thermoplastic formability is basically influenced by thermal stability and fragility of supercooled liquid which can be reflected by the temperature range for the supercooled liquid region (${\Delta}T_x$) and the difference in specific heat between the frozen glass state and the supercooled liquid state (${\Delta}C_p$). The measured ${\Delta}T_x$ and ${\Delta}C_p$ values show a strong composition dependence. However, the composition showing the highest ${\Delta}T_x$ and ${\Delta}C_p$ does not correspond to the composition with the highest amount of Ni and Y. It is considered that higher ${\Delta}T_x$ and ${\Delta}C_p$ may be related to enhancement of icosahedral SRO near $T_g$ during cooling. On the other hand, electrical resistivity varies with the change of Al contents as well as with the change of the volume fraction of each phase after crystallization. The composition range with the optimum combination of thermoplastic formability and electrical conductivity in Al-Ni-Y system located inside the composition triangle whose vertices compositions are $Al_{87}Ni_3Y_{10}$, $Al_{85}Ni_5Y_{10}$, and $Al_{86}Ni_5Y_9$.

This study investigated the high temperature oxidation behavior of Ni-22.4%Fe-22%Cr-6%Al (wt.%) porous metal. Two types of open porous metals with different pore sizes of 30 PPI and 40 PPI (pore per inch) were used. A 24-hour TGA test was conducted at three different temperatures of $900^{\circ}C$, $1000^{\circ}C$ and $1100^{\circ}C$. The results of the BET analysis revealed that the specific surface area increased as the pore size decreased from 30 PPI to 40 PPI. The oxidation resistance of porous metal decreased with decreasing pore size. As the temperature increased, the oxidation weight gain of the porous metal also increased. Porous metals mainly created oxides such as $Al_2O_3$, $Cr_2O_3$, $NiAl_2O_4$, and $NiCr_2O_4$. In the 40 PPI porous metal with small pore size and larger specific surface area, the depletion of stabilizing elements such as Al and Cr occurred more quickly during oxidation compared to the 30 PPI porous metal. Ni-Fe-Cr-Al porous metal's high-temperature oxidation micro-mechanism was also discussed.

As a part of assessment of the structural material for the molten salt handling system, corrosion behavior of Inconel 718, X-750, Haynes 75 and Haynes 263 alloys in the molten salt of LiCl-Li$_2$O-O$_2$was investigated in the range of temperature; $650^{\circ}C$, time; 24~168h, $Li_2O$; 3wt%, mixed gas; Ar~10%$O_2$. In the molten salt of LiCl-$Li_2O-O_2$, the order corrosion rate was Haynes 263 ＜ Haynes 75 ＜ Inconel X-750 ＜ Inconel 718. Haynes 263 alloy showed the highest corrosion resistance among the examined alloys. Corrosion products of alloys were as fellows: Haynes 75: $Cr_2O_4$, $NiFe_2O_4$, $LiNiO_2$, $Li_2NiFe_2O_4$, Inconel 718; $Cr_2O_4$, $NiFe_2O_4$, Haynes 263; $Li(Ni,Co)O_2$, $NiCr_2O_4$, $LiTiO_2$, Inconel X-750; $Cr_2O_3$, $NiFe_2O_4$,$FeNi_3$, (Al,Nb,Ti)$O_2$. Haynes 263 showed local corrosion behavior and Haynes 75, Inconel 718 and Inconel X-750 showed uniform corrosion behavior.

Vanadium은 비중이 6.09로써 비교적 무거운 금속에 속하나 Al을 30wt% 이내로 첨가하여 $Ni_3Al$ 및 TiAl와 유사한 비강도가 크며 내열성을 지니는 V-Al합금을 얻을 가능성을 지니고 있다. 본 연구에서는 V-Al합금에 Si, Y, Ti, B등 제3원소를 첨가함에 따르는 미세 응고조직의 거동과 기계적 성질을 조사하였다. 알곤 분위기에서 제조된 V-30%Al합금은 상온에서 고용체와 취성이 큰 금속간 화합물인 $VAl_3$등 2상으로 존재하므로 용체화 처리 과정이 요구되며 24시간 이상 장시간 열처리에 의하여 단일 고용상을 이룰 수 있었다. 규소의 첨가는 금속간 화합물의 형성과 아울러 합금의 경도를 크게 증가시키는 경향을 나타내며 B을 0.3%정도가지 첨가할 때 경도가 낮아지는 현상이 관찰되었다. �c칭된 V-30%Al 합금은 입계면을 따라 decohesive rupture 현상을 나타내며 입자간 파괴 현상도 일부 관찰되었다.

The effects of the annealing atmospheres(O2, N2) and sintering additives that Bi2O3 is a major composition on the microwave dielectric and sintering propertie of (1-x)CaTiO3-xLaAlO3 system were investigated. The annealing atmospheres and the increase of annealing time after sintering did not affect the relative dielectric constant($\varepsilon$r) and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency($\tau$f) of (1-x)CaTiO3-xLaAlO3 system. However, the Q.f0 values of (1-x)CaTiO3-xLaAlO3 were very sensitive to annealing atmospheres. As the annealing time increased under O2 atmosphere the Q.f0 values of (1-x)CaTiO3-xLaAlO3 enhanced untill 10 hrs in 0.3$\leq$x$\leq$0.6 region, but degraded over that time. The increasing rate of Q.f0 value increased wth increasing x. On the other hand, as the annealing time increased under N2 atmosphere the Q.f0 values were constant in x$\leq$0.6 region, increased gradually in x$\geq$0.7 region. When 0.97Bi2O3-0.03Al2O3 and 0.76Bi2O3-0.24NiO of 3wt% as sintering additives were added to (Ca0.5La0.5) (Ti0.5Al0.5)O3 (x=0.5) the sintering temperature of 1$600^{\circ}C$ was lowered to 140$0^{\circ}C$, and the relative dielectric constant($\varepsilon$r) and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency($\tau$f) were not nearly changed. The addition of 0.97Bi2O3-0.03Al2O3 and 0.76Bi2O3-0.24NiO of 3wt% to (Ca0.5La0.5)(Ti0.5Al0.5)O3 made the Q.f0 values to be lower about 15% and 34%, respectively.

The dependency of the rate of $CO_2$ reforming of methane on the catalyst loading and the reactor size was examined at a fixed temperature of $750\;^{\circ}C$ and a fixed GHSV of 18000 mL(STP)/$g_{cat}.h$. The conversion of methane in $CO_2$reforming decreased with increase in the reactor size. The catalyst was severely deactivated with increase in the catalyst amount. The amount of carbonaceous species combustible below $550\;^{\circ}C$, determined by TPO experiments with the used catalyst samples increased with increase in the catalyst amount, which was again confirmed by XRD and TEM experiments. The increase of the carbonaceous species combustible below $550\;^{\circ}C$ may be due to the suppression of the reverse Boudouard reaction, since the $CO_2$ reforming of methane, a highly endothermic reaction, resulted in lowering the reaction temperature.

In this research, a thin layer of Cr was coated on the pure Ni and Inconel 601 by PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) in order to study the effect of Cr on the oxidation behavior at high temperature. Cr coated Inconel 601, which was oxidized at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours, formed a protective $Cr_2O_3$ oxide layer and the resistance to isothermai oxidation was improved. On the other hand, oxidation resistance of Cr coated Inconel 601 at 100$0^{\circ}C$ was not significantly improved, probably due to the formation or insufficient $Cr_2O_3$ layer. But, when oxidized at $1000^{\circ}C$ and $1100^{\circ}C$ for 100 hours, Cr coated Inconel 601 improved isothermal oxidation resistance by the formation of continuous $Cr_2O_3$ external scale and by the development of $Al_2O_3$ subscales. Cr coated Ni formed inner layer of $Cr_2O_3$ within almost pure NiO, which provided additional cation vacancies, thus increasing the mobility of Ni ions in this region. It is believed that this doping effect resulted in an increase in the observed oxidation rate compared with pure Ni and did not improve the oxidation resistance.

Electrochemical hydrogenation/dehydrogenation properties were studied for a single particle of a Mm-based(Mm : misch metal) hydrogen storage alloy($MmNi_{3.55}Co_{0.75}Mn_{0.4}Al_{0.3}$) for the anode of Ni-MH batteries. A carbon fiber microelectrode was manipulated to make electrical contact with an alloy particle, and the cyclic voltammetry and the galvanostatic charge/discharge experiments were performed. A single particle of the alloy showed the discharge capacity of 280[mAh/g], the value being 90[%] of the theoretical capacity. Data were compared with that of the composite film consisting of the alloy particles and a polymer binder, which is more practical form for Ni-MH batteries. Additionally, pulverization of the alloy particles are directly observed. Compared with the conventional composite film electrodes, the single particle measurements using the microelectrode gave more detailed, true information about the hydrogen storage alloy.

For gaseous fuel combustion with inherent $CO_2$ capture and low NOx emission, chemical-looping combustion may yield great advantages for the savings of energy to $CO_2$ separation and suppressing the effect on environment, In chemical-looping combustor, fuel is oxidized by metal oxide medium in a reduction reactor. Reduced particles are transported to oxidation reactor and oxidized by air and recycled to reduction reactor. The fuel and the air are never mixed, and the gases from reduction reactor, $CO_2$ and $H_2O$, leave the system as separate stream. The $H_2O$ can be easily separated by condensation and pure $CO_2$ is obtained without any loss of energy for separation. In this study, five oxygen carrier particles such as NiO/bentonite, NiO/YSZ, $(NiO+Fe_2O_3)VYSZ$, $NiO/NiAl_2O_4$, and $Co_{\chi}O_y/CoAl_2O_4$ were examined &om the viewpoints of reaction kinetics, oxygen transfer capacity, and carbon deposition characteristics. Among five oxygen particles, NiO/YSZ particle is superior in reaction rate, oxygen carrier capacity, and carbon deposition to other particles. However, at high temperature ($>900^{\circ}C$), NiO/bentonite particle also shows enough reactivity and oxygen carrier capacity to be applied in a practical system.
