$\beta-SiC $powder with or without the addition of 1 wt% of $\alpha-SiC$ particles (seeds) was pressureless-sintered at $1950^{\circ}C$ for 0.5, 2 and 4 h using $Y_3Al_5O_{12}$ (yttrium aluminum garnet, YAG) as a sintering aid. The introduction of $\alpha-SiC$ seeds into $\beta-SiC$ accelerated :he grain growth of elongated large grains during sintering, resulting in the coarser microstructure. The fracture toughnesses of materials with $\alpha$-SiC seeds and without $\alpha-SiC$ seeds sintered for 4 h were 7.5 and 6.1 $MPa\cdot \textrm m^{1/2}$, respectively. Higher fracture toughness of the material with seeds was due to the enhanced bridging by elongated grains, resulting from coarser microstructure.

The purpose of this experiment was to check the effects on metal corrosion of the 6 types of tree (Ash tree, Japanese cedar, black walnut, western hemlock, paulownia coreana and maple) which are currently being used, or the use of which is under study, by the Museum. As a method of test, an Oddy Test was conducted where the materials to be tested and the metal test piece are exposed to a specified temperature and humidity for a long period of time and the effects of materials on the test piece are observed. The results of the Oddy Test conducted on all 6 types of tree showed slight difference in the form of metal corrosion, and except for the blank, corrosion occurred on the entire surface of most iron (Fe) and lead (Pb) test pieces. Minor level of discoloration was noted in all test pieces of copper (Cu) even though different levels.

Alternating magnetic field was used for detection of surface flaws on nonmagnetic and magnetic metallic specimens. The nondestructive sensor probe was composed of the planar coil with inductive magnetic thin film yoke as a sensing component and a single straight typed exciting coil. The planar inductive coil sensor with magnetic yoke was fabricated by sputtering, electroplating, dry etching and photolithography process. The alternative currents with the range of 0.1A to 1.0A (0.7 MHz to 1.8 MHz) were applied to the exciting coil. The specimens were prepared with the slit shaped artificial surface flaws (minimum depth and width; 0.5 mm) on metallic plate (Al; nonmagnetic metal and FeC; magnetic metal). The detected signal for the positions and shapes of surface flaws on specimens were obtained with high sensitivity and high signal to ratio. The measured output signals by the non-contacted scanning on surface of FeC specimen with micron-sized crack were converted to the images of the flaws. And these results were compared with the optical images, respectively.

In this work the effect of pre-rolling on the homogenization and on the mechanical properties of 4.6% Mg-0.5% Mn-0.18% Cr-Al alloy has been studied. At room temperature tensile strength and elongation have been found to increase in the pre- rolled homogenized sample compared to those of the as cast sample. At $400^{\circ}C$ this pre-rolled homogenized sample has shown a little lower tensile strength and a remarkably higher elongation than the samples as casted or homogenized without pre-rolling. Metallurgical microstructure of the pre-rolled homogenized sample has shown conspicuously less secondary phase such as ${\beta}$-phase at the grain boundaries than the other samples. The difference of magnesium content between grain boundaries and within the grains has been also checked by EPMA. The test results show enhanced homogenizing effect by the pre-rolling before homogenizing heat treatment.

Water leak phenomena in the liquid sodium which is a coolant of liquid metal reactor, were investigated by carrying out sodium-water reaction experiment. It was confirmed that sodium and water react each other by the analysis of material composition of aspecimen at the end of experiment. When steam of $100kg/cm^2$ was passed through the leak path of the specimen for 4 hours, reaction products from sodium-water reaction were observed on the leak site. However, re-opening phenomena were not observed at this condition. It was interpretted that the reaction product precipitated on leak path and thermal transient caused self-plugging and re-openning phenomena, respectively.

A woodblock softening process using saltwater was investigated in order to reduce the cracks and distortion caused by the woodblock-making process and to make the woodblock softer and sculpturing easier. Although anatomical studies of woodblocks have been ongoing for years, little work has been done on softening treatments using natural materials. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the change in the physical properties of wood treated with saturated brine and the effect of salt on metal nails found embedded in woodblocks. After boiling for twelve h each in water and saturated brine, the saltwater-boiled specimens have longer drying times than the water-boiled specimens. Further, it was observed that salt particles penetrated the cells in the wood. As a result of exposing the copper and iron nails, which were stuck in each specimen, to a high humidity environment, the weight of the saltwater-boiled specimens increased due to the hygroscopicity of the salt. Corrosion of the nails also occurred. This result is similar to the problem that appears on the edge of a woodblock. In conclusion, it was shown that salt in the wood cells affects the corrosion of metal embedded in the wood.

The importance of shape design for strength is highly regarded when applied to thin plate products in Ceramic Injection Molding (CIM), such as cases for electronic goods. This study analyzed the characteristics of the mechanical strength of CIM product by measuring the flexural strength and elastic modulus through a 3-point bending test according to the thickness of a thin plate test piece prepared by CIM. The specimen with a thickness of 0.48mm required a 82.9~94.5N fracture load, whereas a 1.0mm thick test piece required 233.6~345.8N. The increase in thickness by 0.5mm resulted in a 3-fold increase in the fracture load, whereas the elastic modulus decreased by 20%. The thicker the specimen, the lower relative density and surface hardness of the specimen. This is because the thicker the specimen, the lower the powder fraction of the ceramic mixture, and the material properties partially change after sintering.

최근 세계 각지에서 발생하는 대규모 터널 화재사고는 많은 사상자를 동반하고 이에 따른 경제적, 사회적 손실 또한 방대하게 진행되는 실정이다. 터널 구조물의 화재 특성상 외부에 쉽게 노출되지 않기 때문에 화재 발생 시 화재에 노출된 표층이 박리되거나 비산해서 단면결손이 생기는 폭렬 현상(explosive spalling)이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 폭렬 현상은 붕괴와 같은 대형 참사로 이어질 가능성이 크다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 터널 내 화재 발생 시 콘크리트 구조물의 폭렬에 의한 붕괴를 예방하기 위하여 이액형 상온경화 실리콘 고무와 인체에 무해한 친환경 첨가제인 펄라이트를 일정한 혼합비(5wt%, 10wt%, 15wt%, 20wt%)로 혼합하여 고성능 난연 복합체를 제조하고, 열적 특성과 난연 특성을 연구를 진행하였다. 열적 특성에 관한 시험으로 TGA를 측정하였으며, 난연 특성에 관한 시험으로는 화염 시험, 내화로 시험, 탄화로 시험을 진행하였다. 우선 TGA 시험은 $20^{\circ}C/min$ 승온 속도로 $800^{\circ}C$까지 실험을 하였고, 화염 시험은 제작한 시편과 gas torch($1200^{\circ}C$)의 화염 거리를 약 10cm로 하여 약 1시간 동안 시험을 하였다. 내화로 시험은 내화로 장치를 이용하여 RABT curve(5분만에 $1200^{\circ}C$도달 후 한 시간 동안 유지 후 냉각, 총 시험 시간 180분) 조건을 만족하는 환경에서 제작한 시편을 콘크리트에 부착하여 콘크리트의 내부온도를 측정하였다. 탄화로 시험은 탄화로 장치를 이용하여 $2^{\circ}C/min$ 승온속도로 $900^{\circ}C$까지 실험을 하여 외부 형태 변화를 관찰하였다. 각각의 시험 결과 TGA 열분해 결과 순수한 실리콘 고무보다 난연제인 펄라이트를 첨가했을 때 더 높은 온도에서 초기 분해 거동을 보였으며, 최종 잔류량은 80%를 보였고, 5 wt%의 펄라이트가 혼합된 시편의 최종 잔류량이 높은 것으로 보아 열분해에 가장 강한 조성임을 알 수 있었다. 화염 시험 결과 펄라이트가 혼합된 모든 시편에서 $300^{\circ}C$가 넘지 않은 결과를 보였다. 이는 제조된 복합체가 화염에 직접적으로 장시간 노출이 되어도 안전하다는 것을 알 수 있다. 내화로 및 탄화로 시험 결과 펄라이트가 15wt%와 20wt%가 첨가된 시편들보다 5wt%와 10wt% 첨가된 시편들이 고온에서 안정하다는 것을 보였다.

The electromagnetic properties and microstructures of the basic composition of (Ni$\sub$0.2/Cu$\sub$0.1/Zn$\sub$0.2/)$\sub$0.5/ (Fe$_2$O$_3$)$\sub$0.5/ were invested by changing of SO$_4$, Cl and NO$_3$ series. We were prepared by coprecipitation method and sintered at temperatures 950$^{\circ}C$, 1150$^{\circ}C$, l350$^{\circ}C$, respectively. When sintering at temperature 950$^{\circ}C$, Cl and NO$_3$ series became perfection sintering. On the other hand, SO$_4$ series showed perfection sintering at temperature 1150$^{\circ}C$. According to particle size analysis result, higher magnetic permeability and magnetization value were observed by Cl series than SO$_4$ or NO$_3$ series.

After the preparation of low-cost conductive paste containing Ag-coated Cu flakes, thermal conductivity and electrical resistivity of the paste were measured with different curing conditions. Under air-curing conditions, the thermal conductivity of the cured sample increased with an increase of curing time from 30 to 60 min. After identical curing time of 60 min, the sample cured under nitrogen indicated more enhanced thermal conductivity than that cured under air, approaching that of paste containing pure Ag flakes. Under air-curing conditions, meanwhile, the electrical resistivity of the cured sample increased with an increase of curing time from 30 to 60 min. After identical curing time of 60 min, however, the sample cured under nitrogen indicated extremely enhanced electrical resistivity ($7.59{\times}10^{-5}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$) in comparison with that cured under air.
