Along with the increased social infrastructures and reconstruction, the demand for aggregate, which is used in concrete, has rapidly increased. However, there are problems due to the exhaustion of natural aggregate resources, and strict restrictions. In this study, the possibility of using rapid chilled steel slag as a substitutive material of fine aggregate is determined from the property test and mechanical test for the concrete that is made with rapid chilled steel slag, which highly decreases the free CaO, the main problem of the steel slag.

The residual stresses in injection-molded plastic parts can be divided into two, i.e., the flow-induced residual stress produced in flowing stage and the thermally-induced residual stress produced in cooling stage. Especially, the main source for the defect in the final parts, such as warpage, is known to be the thermally-induced stresses. For the freely quenched samples the structures of residual stresses and bire-fringence have been investigated by many researchers extensively. However, the boundary condition for free quenching was found to be improper to study actual injection molding process. In the present study a datailed structure of the residual stresses and birefringence produced under constrained quenching has been investigated experimentally. In constrained quenched samples a similar pattern but much less stress values than that for the freely quenched samples has been found in the case of the thickness of 1.0 mm. Howvere, in the case of the thickness of 4.0mm, totally different stress profile has been found experimentally. Suprisingly uniform birefringence throughout whole thickness has been found for all the cases of constrained quenching. Finally, to explain the mechanism to produce the final residual stresses and bire-fringence some preliminary numerical results including free volume theory have been introduced briefly.

Melt-spun $Nd_{14}Fe_{76}Co_4B_6$ and $Nd_{10.5}Fe_{79}Co_2Zr_{1.5}B_7$ ribbons were prepared under an externally applied magnetic field. Magnetic properties in terms of anisotropy were evaluated by discussing the effect of textured structure of the ribbon samples as well as its powders. About 32 % increase in $(B{\cdot}H)_{max}$ and 18.8 % increase in $B_r$ were observed along the perpendicular direction of the ribbon plane which is more prominent for the Nd-Fe-Co-Zr-B than for the Nd-Fe-Co-B alloy. The enhancement of magnetic anisotropy was monitored by measuring the anisotropy constant of each alloy as a function of quenching rate of the ribbon. It was found that for the melt-spun ribbon quenched at slow rate(less than 7 m/s) the magnetic field effect was overwhelmed by the heat gradient effect through the ribbon thickness while the field effect was prominent at intermediate quenching rate (more than 7~11 m/s). The reproducible maximum energy product, $(B{\cdot}H)_{max}$=16.4 MGOe can be obtained from the Nd-Fe-Co-Zr-B alloy.

Steel industry produces many by-products and wastes such as blast furnace slag, electric arc furnace slag, and converter slag. As in the case of rock, the main component of steel slag are CaO and $SiO_2$ ; further, steel slag is as alkaline as portland cement or concrete. Electric arc furnace oxidizing slag is possible to use as an aggregate for concrete ; however, it has been reclaimed because of it's expansibility caused by free CaO. Recently, a innovative rapid cooling method for melting steel slag has been developed in Korea, which reduces free lime content to minimum level and increases the stability of iron oxide. Therefore, this study describes the results of a series of research to utilize globular shape of electric arc furnace oxidizing slag fine aggregates made by rapidly cooled method for the construction industry by cooling rapidly melted slag from the steel industry. First of all, an experiment was carried out to investigate the quality characteristics of rapidly cooled electric arc furnace oxidizing slag fine aggregates in order to determine whether they can be applied to the construction industry. Then, by applying them to concrete of various particle sizes, we explored experimentally the desired condition to apply rapidly cooled electric arc furnace oxidizing slag fine aggregates to concrete.

Although blast furnace slag has been widely used in concrete as a cementitious admixture or aggregate for many years, the slowly cooled steel slag is not used in concrete but mainly in road. Its use in concrete operates problem such as the lack of volume stability due to high free CaO content, which can be potentially hazardous in concrete. However, the rapidly cooled steel slag by atomization has a low free CaO content, a high density, and a spherical shape, so it is expected to use in concrete so much. This paper is to understand the probability that the rapid cooled steel slag can replace the silica sand used as aggregate in the epoxy mortar. We did the experimental study on the properties of the epoxy mortar having various replacement proportion of rapidly cooled steel slag. This study shown that increasing content of the rapidly cooled steel slag in epoxy mortar lead to increase largely the passing time of nozzle by O-lot, compressive strength and flexural strength. However except the flow is almost same level. So we understand that the rapidly cooled steel slag has positive effect on increasing of properties in epoxy mortar.

It has been found that the as-quenched ribbons of $Sm_{x}Fe_{100-x-y}Ti_{y}(3.8{\leq}x{\leq}11.5,\;3.8{\leq}y{\leq}19.2)$ are composed of metastable $TbCu_{7}-type$ structure, ${\alpha}-(Fe,\;Ti),\;Fe_{2}Ti$ and an unknown phase accompanying strong diffraction line at $d=2.14{\AA}$. The metastable $TbCu_{7}-type$ phase, which was formed by rapid quenching, did not transform fully to the stable phases after annealing at $850^{\circ}C$ for 45 minutes except the one existed in $SmFe_{11}Ti$ melt-spun ribbon. The $SmFe_{11}Ti$ melt-spun ribbon, annealed at $850^{\circ}C$ for 45 minutes in vacuum, was found to be composed of $ThMn_{12}$. $\alpha$-(Fe, Ti) and $Fe_{2}Ti$ phases. The formation of $\alpha$-(Fe, Ti) and $Fe_{2}Ti$ phases in this melt-spun ribbon was due to the evaporation of Sm atoms during the high temperature annealing. The atomic ratios for the surface and the inside of $SmFe_{11}Ti$ melt-spun ribbon annealed in vacuum were $SmFe_{25.8}Ti_{2.6}$ and $SmFe_{11.7}Ti_{1.0}$ respectively. It is thought to be that much of $\alpha$-(Fe, Ti) and $Fe_{2}Ti$ phases exist on the surface of ribbon.

For the recycling of rapid-chilled steel slag, the mechanical strengths and physical properties of EVA-polymer modified mortars with the various replacement ratios of rapid-chilled steel slag were investigated. Twenty five specimens of polymer modified mortars were prepared with the five different amounts of EVA-polymer modifier (0, 5, 10, 15, 20 wt%) and rapid-chilled steel slag (0, 25, 50, 75, 100 wt%). For the investigation of the characteristics of polymer modified mortars, the measurements such as water-cement ratio, unit volume weight, air content for fresh mortar and compressive strength, flexural strength, water absorption, hot water resistance, porosity and SEM investigation for curing specimens were conducted. As a results, with an increase in the replacement ratio of rapid-chilled steel slag, water-cement ratios decreased but unit volume weight increased remarkably. With increasing EVA-polymer modifier and the replacement ratio of rapid-chilled steel slag, percent of water absorption decreased but compressive and flexural strengths increased remarkably. By the hot water resistance test, mechanical strengths decreased but total pore volume and porosity increased remarkably. In the SEM observation, the components of specimen were shown to stick to each other in the form of co-matrix phase before hot water resistance test, but polymer modifier of co-matrix phase was decomposed or deteriorated after hot water resistance test.

The Ladle Furnace Slag, about 20% of the electric arc furnace slag, has high content of free CaO and free MgO, which generates the expansion collapse by hydration reaction. Although many researchers have been endeavoring to recycle the EAF reducing slag in construction fields, there is not found the effective recycling method up to now. However, the LFS(Ladle Furnace Slag) contains mineral composition of the system of calcium aluminate with high-reactivity. Therefore, it is possible to developed the quick setting property and the high strength at the early age by the rapid cooling. This study aimed to check the reactive minerals and predict the reactivity with water on the LFS discharged from different steel product plants. The test results show that many types of LFS has hydration reactivity and can use in construction field as a inorganic binder with the rapid setting property.

The crystallographic and magnetic properties of the ferrimagnetic $CoFe_2O_4$ have been studied by X-ray and Mossbauer measurements. The crystal structure is found to be cubic spinel structure with the lattice constant $a_{0}=8.381{\pm}0.005{\AA}\;and\;a_{0}=8.391{\pm}0.005{\AA}$ for slow-cooled and quenched CoFeZ04' respectively. Mossbauer spectra of $CoFe_2O_4$ have been taken at various temperatures ranging from 13 to 780 K. The isorrer shifts indicate that the valence states of the Fe ions for tetrahedral(A) and octahedral(B) sites have ferric character. Debye temperatures for the A and B sites are found to be ${\theta}_A=734{\pm}5K\;and\;{\theta}_B=248{\pm}5K$ for slow-cooled and ${\theta}_A=531{\pm}5K\;and\;{\theta}_B=197{\pm}5K$ for quenched, respectively. Atomic migration from the A to the B sites starts near 400 K and 350 K for slow-cooled and quenched $CoFe_2O_4$, respectively, am increases rapidly with increasing temperature to such a degree that about 69 % for slow-cooled and 91 % for quenched of the ferric ions on the A sites have rmved over to the B sites at 700 K.

This research focuses on analysis of a interaction fracture of various glasses due to contact of water sprayed curtain on hot glass surface with high temperature produced from convective heat source near glass wall. A large scaled experimental test was done in order to find the range of the glass surface temperature to be able to cause the breakage of the glasses when water droplets reach on the hot surface. This paper shows the allowable temperature of the glass surface for prevention of the cooling down breakage before water curtain droplets contact the surface. Allowable Temperature if $250^{\circ}C$ for the tempered glass but general glass is very relatively low. Therefore if the water curtain spray system was adequately activated by a thermal detector installed below ceiling adjacent glass wall with water curtain nozzle system, all hot glass would not break out by cooling water droplet's contact on the hot surface due to convective heat released by adjacent fire source near the glass wall.
