LI$_{2}$형 결정구조를 갖는 Ni-20at.%AI-10at%Fe 금속간화합물에 boron, zirconium 과 hafnium을 최고 0.5at.% 까지 첨가하여 항복강도, 연성, 파괴 등 기계적 성질의 변화를 인장시험과 X선분석 및 XPS분석 등을 통하여 관찰하였다. Ni-20at.% AI-10at.% Fe금속간화합물에 boron을 첨가하였을 때는 연신율의 현저한 증가가 나타났으나 zirconium이나 hafnium첨가의 경우에는 별다른 효과가 나타나지 않았다. Ni-20at.%AI-10at%Fe 금속간화합물의 경우, boron의 양이 증가할수록 인장연신율이 증가하였으며 0.1at.%의 boron을 첨가한 경우 최고 48.5%의 상온인장연신율을 나타내었다. 첨가물을 넣지 않은 경우와 zirconium과 hafnium을 첨가한 경우, 파괴모드는 입계파괴의 형태를 나타내었으나 boron을 첨가한 경우에는 파괴모드가 입계파괴에서 입내파괴로 변화되었다. XPS분석을 통하여 boron이 입계에 편석된 것을 관찰할 수 있었으며 이는 이미 제시된 여러가지 해석들과 일치하는 결과이다. 이로부터 boron의 첨가에 따른 인장연신율의 증가는 boron의 입계편석거동과 관련이 있음을 알 수 있다.

Effect of the grain boundary phases in Si$_3$N$_4$ ceramics on the fracture tonghness has been investigated. The Si$_3$N$_4$-Y$_2$O$_3$-SiO$_2$, (YS) and Si$_3$N$_4$-Y$_2$O$_3$-Al$_2$O$_3$(YA) systems were Can/HIP treated at 1750$^{\circ}C$ and then heat-treated at 1800∼2000$^{\circ}C$. The fracture toughness of the YA system, the grain boundary phase was only glass phase after heat-treatement, was increased. That of the YS system, however, the grain boundary phase was changed from crystalline and glass to glass phase after the heat -treatement above 1900$^{\circ}C$, was abruptly decreased. The reason of the sudden drop of the fracture toughness of the YS system was believed that the change of the grain boundary phases from crystalline and glass to glass phase effected un the fracture behavior.

Microstructural evolutions in ceria-stabilized zirconia (Ce-TZP) and alumina-dispersed Ce-TZP ceramics were investigated as functions of doping and annealing conditions. All of sintered specimens showed the relative density over 99 %. Sintered specimens had linear grain boundaries and normal grain shapes, but ceria-doped specimens had irregular grain shapes and nonlinear grain boundaries due to the diffusion-induced grain boundary migration during annealing at $1650^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. Mean grain boundary length of Ce-TZP with irregular grain shapes was higher than that of normal grain shapes, and was a value of 23pm at the maximum. Alumina particles dispersed in Ce-TZP inhibited the grain growth of zirconia particles. $Al_2O_3$Ce-TZP doped with ceria and annealed at $1650^{\circ}C$ for 2 h showed irregular grain shapes as well as small grain size. Added alumina particles showed the grain growth during sintering or annealing, and they changed the position from grain boundary to inside of the grains during the annealing. The specimens with normal grain shapes showed an intergranular fracture mode, whereas the specimens with irregular grain shapes showed a transgranular fracture mode during the crack propagation.

영광 3, 4호기에 사용되고 있는 원전 압력용기용 SA-508 IH 강의 미세구조 및 상온 피로균 열성장 특성을 고찰하였다. 본 강재의 미세구조, 석출물 분포 및 형상을 투과전자현미경을 통하여 관찰하였으며 임계영역에서의 거동 및 균열닫힘에 주목하여 피로균열성장 특성을 연구하였다. 다양한 형태의 (Fe, MR)$_3$C 세멘타이트 및 Mo$_2$C 석출물이 입계, 래스경계면 및 입내에 분포되고 있음을 확인하였다. Paris 영역에서의 피로균열성장 속도는 ASME 기준선과 유사하였으며, 임계 영역에서는 일반적인 저합금강의 경우보다 다소 낮게 나타났다. 파면조사 결과 입내 연성파괴현상이 전 $\Delta$K 영역에서 나타나고 있으며, $\Delta$K$_{th}$ 부터 $\Delta$K가 12 Mpa√m 영역에서는 입계파괴 및 입내 평활면이 관찰되었다.

Effect of Cd addition on the stress corrosion cracking(SCC) resistance of Al-Cu-Mn cast alloy was investigated by C-ring test and electrical conductivity measurement. With increasing Cd contents, the electrical conductivity and the SCC resistance were increased. The PFZ and coarse precipitates along the grain boundary were observed from TEM micrographs. The fracture made of the alloys was confirmed as intergranular type and showed brittle fracture surface. As a result, it was concluded that the SCC mechanism of these alloys is the anodic dissolution model. The maximum hardness was increased from 127Hv in the Cd-free alloy to 138∼145Hv in the Cd addition alloys.

Fracture behavior and martensite substructure of Ni-36.5at.%Al alloy were investigated with the addition of vanadium which is known as scavenging element of grain boundary. The fracture surfaces were examined by scanning electron microscopy and the EDX spectrometer was applied for composition analysis of fracture surfaces. The substructure of martensite was studied by transmission electron microscopy. By addition of vanadium, fracture surfaces show mixed modes of intergranular and transgranular fracture and more Al content is found on the grain boundaries. For Ni-36.5at.%Al alloy, the planar faults observed in the martensite plates are the internal twins. By increasing the vanadium content, the modulated structure with stacking faults and dislocations dominates while the twinned martensite disappears. The stacking fault is determined to be extrinsic due to the substitution of V for Al. It is concluded that the segregation of sulfur on the high-energy state stacking fault area suppresses the intergranular fracture.

The creep behavior of a rapidly solidified and consolidated Al-9.45wt%Fe-4.45wt%Cr alloy were investigated in the stress range 40 to 115 MPa and temperature range 300(0.53Tm) to 441$^{\circ}C$(0.66Tm). It is of use to available aerospace and automobile industries for the improved performance of materials used at high temperature. Because Al alloys with improved creep resistance offer the potential for lower weight and reduced costs in aerospace and automobile components (e.g., structural members and engine parts) through the replacement of heavier and more costly materials, the safety in use at high temperature is good. The alloy is characterized by high stress exponents and activation energies for creep, which are greatly dependent on the stress and temperature. Because the creep stress is seen to cause a strongly significant enhancement of coarsening, the coarsening rate of the dispersed particles in all crept specimens is faster than that in isothermally annealed specimens. Dislocations connecting dispersoids are observed more cofrequently in crept specimens with higher stress and lower temperature. The creep strain rates in the power law creep regime were found to be predicted much better by the Shorty and Rosler/Arzt equation with the inclusion of a threshold stress and dislocation detachment mechanism. The dispersoids in this alloy were acting a source of void nucleation that finally leaded to ductile fracture within the grain so called intergranular. Each void was initiated, grown and failed at the dispersoids in the aluminium matrix. Grain boundary accommodation of the slip produced, which result in initiation of the void and then final transgranular fracture. Therefore, it was confirmed that these dispersoids played an important role in the fracture mechanism by the formation of $Al_{13}Fe_4$, $Al_{13}Cr_2$ and $Al_2O_3$.
