This was studied about aging characteristic of AC4A/$SiC_{w}$ 10-30v/o reinforced composite. Aging hardenability was decreased $SiC_{w}$ 30% > 10% > 20%. Aging hardening of T6 treatmented composite was higher absolute value than AC4A I/M material. And this results indicated initial hardening phenomenon according to increase $SiC_{w}$ volume fraction. Reinforced effect by pressure was the same effect as before aging treatment and the best condition pressure at 75MPa. Similar to reinforced effect according to $SiC_{w}$ volume fraction was 30 % > 10 % > 20 %. In case of pressure is low, whisker is not break the same time press with base metal after wetting. After it is wetting with base metal, a part transformed or wetting part break and whisker maintain original shape or a part transformed on the otherhand, in case of pressure is high, whisker is break in same time it was not against pressure and whisker's shape is near a polygon or spherical shape.

The material properties of heat resistant materials at power plants are affected by thermal aging as operating time is accumulated. In this study, the influence of thermal aging on yield strength, tensile strength and fracture behavior for Mod.9Cr-1Mo (ASME Grade 91) steel which is a material widely adopted for Generation IV nuclear energy system has been investigated and analyzed. Service exposed Gr.91 steel materials sampled from a piping system of an ultra-supercritical (USC) plant in Korea with accumulated operation time of 73,716 hours were used for material testing. The test results of the service exposed material specimens were compared with those of the virgin Gr.91 steel specimens. Those test data were compared with the material properties of ASME code and RCC-MRx code. Conservatisms of the material properties in the design codes have been quantified based on the comparisons of those from virgin and service exposed material specimens.

Titanium is resistant to general corrosion and in sea water because of the passivity layer film on the surface of material, but may be attacked by environments that cause breakdown of the protective oxide layer including hydrochloric, sulfuric and phosphoric acids. In this study, the Ti alloys were solution heat treatment 5hours at $1066^{\circ}C$ and $966^{\circ}C$, and followed by aging heat treated, 1, 4, 8 and 16 hours in $500^{\circ}C$, $600^{\circ}C$ and $650^{\circ}C$ respectively. The heat treated specimens were measured micro Vicker's hardness, and then accomplished electrochemical polarization test for comparing corrosion in 1N sulfuric acid solution. Additionally, micro structures were taken for corrosion tested specimens. The results showed that corrosion resistance was higher in solution heat treated alloy than base and age heat treated metal. Measured corrosion resistants were increased as increasing aging heat treatment time and temperature.

Flip-chip interconnection that uses solder bump is an essential technology to improve the performance of micro-electronics which require higher working speed, higher density, and smaller size. In this paper, the shear strength of Cr/Cr-Cu/Cu UBM structure of the high-melting solder bump and that of low-melting solder bump after aging is evaluated. Observe intermetallic compound and bump joint condition at the interface between solder and UBM by SEM and TEM. And analyze the shear load concentrated to bump applying finite element analysis. As a result of experiment, the maximum shear strength of Sn-97wt%Pb which was treated 900 hrs aging has been decreased as 25% and Sn-37wt%Pb sample has been decreased as 20%. By the aging process, the growth of $Cu_6/Sn_5$ and $Cu_3Sn$ is ascertained. And the tendency of crack path movement that is interior of a solder to intermetallic compound interface is found.

Thin (~650 nm) and ultrathin (~50 nm) films of neat PMMA and PMMA containing 5 wt% of methacryl-polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane were prepared in this work. The effects of film thickness and POSS on glass transition temperature ($T_g$) and isothermal physical aging were investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). $T_g$ depression was observed as film thickness was decreased and Ma-POSS molecules were incorporated. Enthalpy relaxation (${\Delta}H_{Relax}$) due to the isothermal physical aging was reduced by ultra-thin film thickness and the addition of Ma-POSS. KWW (Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts) equation was used to fit ${\Delta}H_{Relax}$ vs. aging time data providing the fitting parameters; maximum enthalpy recovery (${\Delta}H_{\infty}$), relaxation time (${\tau}$) and non-exponentiality parameter (${\beta}$).

In order to refine the grain size of Mg-Zn alloy 0.5 to 6wt.%Cu or Si elements were added. Alloy ingot was made under vacuum atmosphere of 4 ${\times}$ 10$\^$-4/ Torr in the quartz tube coated by BN. Grain size and hardness were measured after solution treatment for 8 hours at 435$^{\circ}C$. Optimal condition for grain size refining effect was obtained at the minimum composition of 2wt.%Cu or 1.5wt.%Si addition to Mg-6wt%Zn alloy. Age hardening behavior was experimented at the optimal compositions of the Mg-6wt.%Zn, Mg-6wt.% Zn-2wt.%Cu and Mg-6wt.% Zn-1.5wt.%Si. The hardness increment due to fine grain size was higher at the Mg-Zn-Cu alloy system, but that due to age hardening was higher at the Mg-Zn-Si alloy system.

Effect of cold drawing ratio and aging time on the hardness of lnconel 718 wire aged at 11l6K were investi¬gated by hardness measurement and scanning & transmission electron microscopy. Hardness which was 245Hv in as¬solution treated condition increased very rapidly to 450Hv as cold drawing ratio increased to 50%. The hardness in the early stage of aging was increased by the precipitation of $\gamma^{'}$ and $\gamma^{'}$ phases and after the peak hardness, the hardness was decreased by the transformation of $\gamma^{'}$ phase to $\delta$ phase. The time to reach peak hardness during aging appeared to be reduced with the increase of cold drawing ratio, and those times were 30, 10, and 5 minutes for 0, 30 and 50% cold drawn materials, respectively. For the 50% cold drawn material. $\gamma^{'}$ and $\gamma^{'}$ were precipitated by aging for 5 minutes at 1116K. The hardness in the same material was largely decreased under the initial hardness by the recrystallization.

The Ag-Pd-Cu alloys containing a small amount of Au is commonly used for dental purposes, because this alloy cheaper than Au-base alloys for clinical use. However, the most important characteristic of this alloy is age-hardenability, which is not exhibited by other Ag-base dental alloys. The specimens used were Ag-30Pd-10Cu ternary alloy and Au addition alloy. These alloys were melted and casted by induction electric furnace and centrifugal casting machine in Ar atmosphere. These specimens were solution treated for 2hr at $800^{\circ}C$ and were then quenched into iced water, and aged at 350-$550^{\circ}C$ Age-hardening characteristic of the small Au-containing Ag-Pd-Cu dental alloys were investigated by means of hardness testing, X-ray diffraction and electron microscope observations, electrical resistance, differential scanning calorimetric, energy dispersed spectra and electron probe microanalysis. Principal results are as follows ; Maximum hardening occured in two co-phases of ${\alpha}_2$ + PdCu In stage II, decomposition of the $\alpha$ solid solution to a PdCu ordered phase($L1_o$ type) and an Ag-rich ${\alpha}_2$ phase occurred and a discontinuous precipitation occurred at the grain boundary. From the electron microscope study, it was concluded that the cause of age-hardening in this alloy is the precipitation of the PdCu redered phase, which has AuCu I type face-centered tetragonal structure. Precipitation procedure was ${\alpha}{\to}{\alpha}_1+PdCu{\to}{\alpha}_2+PdCu$ at Pd/Cu = 3 Pd element of Ag-Pd-Cu alloy is more effective dental alloy on anti-corrosion and is suitable to isothermal ageing at $450^{\circ}C$.
