발전소 물/증기 순환계통의 주요 기기인 증기발생기/보일러는 금속산화물과 각종 불순물이 축적되면 전열관이 손상되므로, 증기발생기/보일러 내부로 최소의 슬러지가 유입되고, 증기발생기 내부에서 금속산화물 입자가 형성되는 것을 억제하기 위해 수질관리를 하고 있으며, 증기발생기 내부에 존재하는 슬러지를 배출하기 위해 Blowdown 및 Sludge Lancing 등의 물리적 방법을 이용하는 기술이 개발되어 있다. 그러나 이러한 관리에도 불구하고 슬러지 성분인 금속산화물 농도는 운전 조건에 따라 매우 다르며(불순물 잠복 및 방출 현상), 아직까지 잠복현상에 대한 기본적인 메커니즘은 완전히 규명되고 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 물/증기 순환계통 부식생성물의 물성 평가를 하기 위해 순환계통 기기들과 배관 부식생성물의 대부분인 철분이 부식에 가장 큰 영향을 미치기 때문에, 수화학 조건 및 금속합금 종류에 따라 생성되는 부식생성물을 철분을 중심으로 하여 실험하였고, 또한 부식생성물은 온도에 의해서도 영향을 많이 받기 때문에 다양한 온도에서도 부식생성물 생성 실험을 하였다.

The effect of potassium permanganate ($KMnO_4$) in an electrolyte on the corrosion performance of magnesium alloy coated by micro-arc oxidation (MAO) has been investigated in this study. For this purpose, MAO coating was carried out on the present sample under AC condition in an alkaline silicate electrolyte with and without $KMnO_4$. Irrespective of the addition of $KMnO_4$, it was found from structural observation that the ceramic coating layers consisted of inner and outer layers. In the sample processed in the electrolyte with $KMnO_4$, the outer layer became dense and even contained a number of $Mn_2O_3$ atoms, resulting in high corrosion resistance. Based on the results of a potentiodynamic polarization test, it was confirmed that the coating layer formed in the electrolyte with $KMnO_4$exhibited better corrosion resistance than that without $KMnO_4$. The high corrosion resistance of the MAO-treated magnesium alloy was explained in relation to the equivalent circuit model.

Nickel ferrite ($NiFe_2O_4$) powder was prepared through the ceramic route by calcination of a stoichiometric mixture of nickel oxide (NiO) and iron oxide ($Fe_2O_3$). The pressed pellets of $NiFe_2O_4$ were isothermally reduced in pure hydrogen at 800, 900, 1000 and $1100^{\circ}C$. Based on thermogravimetric analysis, the reduction behavior and the kinetic reaction mechanisms of the synthesized ferrite were studied. The initial ferrite powder and various reduction products were characterized by XRD, SEM, reflected light microscope and VSM to reveal the effect of hydrogen reduction on the composition, microstructure, magnetic properties and reaction kinetics of the produced Fe-Ni alloy. Complete reduction of the $NiFe_2O_4$ was achieved with synthesis of homogeneous nanocrystalline Fe-Ni alloys. Arrhenius equation with the approved mathematical formulations for a gas-solid reaction was applied for calculating the activation energy ($E_a$) values and detecting the controlling reaction mechanism.

The inhomogeneous texture through the thickness direction can be developed during hot rolling deformation in aluminum alloy. In this study, the inhomogeneous texture evolution through the thickness direction during hot rolling deformation in Al-5 wt%Mg alloy produced by a new strip casting technology was measured experimentally. Macrotexture measurement was conducted using X-ray diffractometer. A finite element analysis with ABAQUS/StandardTM and rate sensitive polycrystal model were used to predict the evolution of hot rolling texture. The experimental results of Al-5 wt%Mg alloy were compared with calculated results. The shear texture components tend to be increased at the surface region of the hot-rolled specimen. It is found that triclinic sample symmetry is more accurate assumption for texture analysis and simulation in the surface region of hot-rolled aluminum alloy.

In current automobile and electronic industries, the use of magnesium alloys where both energy and weight saving are attainable is increasing. Despite their light weight, there has been an inherent drawback arising from the surface vulnerable to be oxidized with ease, specifically under corrosive environments. To protect magnesium alloy from corrosion, the present work deals with the electrochemical response of the oxide layer on magnesium alloy specimen prepared by plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) method in an electrolyte with zirconia powder. Surface observation using scanning electron microscopy evidences that a number of zirconia particles are effectively incorporated into oxide layer. From the results of potentio-dynamic tests in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution, the PEO-treated sample containing zirconia particles shows better corrosion properties than that without zirconia, which is the result of zirconia incorporation into the coating layer. Corrosion resistance is also measured by utilizing salt spray tests for 120 hrs.

The study investigated the influence of current density on the corrosion-protection properties of an AZ91 Mg alloy subjected to plasma electrolytic oxidation coating. The present coatings were carried out under an AC condition at three different current densities, i.e., 100, 150, and $200mA/cm^2$. From microstructural observations, the micro cracks connecting each micro pore were pronounced on the oxide surface of the samples coated at current densities higher than $150mA/cm^2$ since increasing the current density in this study led to an increment in the relative volume fraction of the MgO compound. Based on potentio dynamic polarization and immersion tests, the sample coated at a current density of $100mA/cm^2$ showed superior corrosion resistance.

Transiton-metal gallides attract wide interest as a candidate for high-temperature structural materials. In a wide composition range, in which it was known that Co-Ga alloy have CsCl (B2) crystallographic structure, a systematic study on the correlation between physical properties and electronic structures of Co-gallides was performed. $Co_{l-x}Ga$ $_{x}$ alloys ($0.35\leq$x$\leq0.55$) were prepared by arc-melting method and were annealed at $1000 ^{\circ}C$ for 48hour to increase the homogeneity. In this composition range all the prepared alloys have the CsCl (B2) structure. The chemical states and the electronic structure were studied by using x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS), and x-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES), and exhibit different physical properties depending on the composition. During the annealing, a significant oxidation has happened and all the oxygen atoms are incorporated with the Ga atoms to form a $Ga_2O_3$ phase. In a view point of electronic structure, the $Co_{l-x}Ga$ $_{x}$ alloys were formed by the Ga(p) - Co(d) hybridization.

Corrosivities and catalytic activities of platinum-transition metal alloy catalyses loaded on carbon substrate and were studied by electrochemical method using a unit cell. And the analysis of Pt-alloy catalyst was conducted by x-ray diffractometer. Among the catalysts, the Pt-Mo/carbon, Pt-Fe-Co/carbon and Pt-Fe/carbon catalyst showed more excellent cathodic current densities than others. It was found that most of cathodic current density for the Pt-Mo/carbon electrode was $120mA/cm^2$. The current density of the Pt-Fe-Co/carbon was much higher than that of Pt/carbon, reaching $200mA/cm^2$.

The tensile strength test and the analysis for the section of brazing were performed in the cases of materials used for combustion chamber of regeneratively cooled liquid rocket engine. BNi-2 and BNi-7 based on nickel were used for brazing as filler metal. The properties of material and filler metal were analyzed by tensile strength test and metal microscope for 12 specimens. The tensile-strength of brazing for chrome-copper alloy and other kinds of alloy was higher than that of chrome-zirconium-copper alloy and other kinds of alloy The tensile strength in the case of BNi-2 as filler metal was higher than that of BNi-7 because the wetting property of BNi-2 was better than that of BNi-7.

귀금속의 가격 앙등은 치과보철치료에 있어서 비귀금속합금의 이용을 촉진 시키고 있다. 가공의치 제작에 비귀금속합금을 이용할 경우에는 납착상태에 대한 신빙성 문제로 인하여 one-piece cast법이 널리 사용되고 있으나 이에 의하여 제작된 가공의치의 적합도에 관하여는 논의가 분분하다. 고로 저자는 one-piece cast법에 의한 비귀금속 가공의치에 있어서 경화수축에 따른 거리변화를 계측현미경을 이용하여 연구한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 4개 치아를 포함하는 가공의치 제작에 있어서 Hi-Temp 매몰재는 비귀금속합금(Lite-Cast B)의 수축을 보상하고도 남음이 있다. 2. Hi-Temp에 사용되는 액(液)을 증류수로 희석할 경우 그 농도 조절에 의하여 Hi-Temp 매몰재의 팽창을 크게 변화시킬 수 있다. 3. one-piece cast법에 의한 가공의치 제작의 문제점은 두 지대치의 서로 바라보고 있는 인접면간의 거리는 증가됨이 없이 외측 인접면간의 거리만 다소 증가되어야 한다는 것이다. 4. 비귀금속합금을 이용하여 수직적인 큰 변형없이 4개 치아가 포함되는 가공의치를 제작할 수 있다. 5. 수개 치아를 포함하는 가공의치의 주조 정확도를 계측할 수 있는 새로운 방법을 창안하였다.
