Four different mechanical alloying(MA) processes were employed to fabricate very fine intermetallic compound $Al_3Zr$ particles dispersed Al composite materials(MMC) with Al-4at.%Zr composition. Phase transformations including phase stability during MA and heat treatment processes were investigated. Part of Zr atoms were dissolved into Al matrix and part of them reacted with hydrogen produced by decomposition of PCA(methanol) to form hydride $ZrH_2$ during first MA process. These $ZrH_2$ hydrides disappeared when alloy powders were heat treated at $500^{\circC}$. Stable $Al_3Zr$ dispersoids with $DO_23$ structure were formed by heat treating the mechanically alloyed powders at $400^{\circC}$. On the other hand, metastable $Al_3Zr$dispersoids with $L1_2$ structure were formed during first MA of powers with Al-25at.%Zr composition. These metastable $Al_3Zr$ dispersoids transformed to stable $Al_3Zr$ with $DO_23$ structure when heat treated above $450^{\circC}$.

The wetting behavior and the characteristic of spontaneous infiltration of pure Al and Al-(Si)-Mg alloys on {{{{ { {Al }_{ 2} O}_{3 } }} in vacuum argon and nitrogen atmosphere were investigated to find out the spontaneous in-filtration mechanism. The wetting of molten Al and Al alloys on {{{{ { {Al }_{ 2} O}_{3 } }} was only possible in cacuum at-mosphere but the sponataneous infiltration of molten Al-(Si)-Mg alloys was successfully made on {{{{ { {Al }_{ 2} O}_{3 } }} pre-form in nitrogen atmoshpere. The difference of wettability and spontaneous infiltration of molten Al and Al alloys on {{{{ { {Al }_{ 2} O}_{3 } }} were found to be related to formation of the Mg-N compound coated layer on {{{{ { {Al }_{ 2} O}_{3 } }} particles which was believd to increase wettability of molten Al alloys on {{{{ { {Al }_{ 2} O}_{3 }.

Aoolphane was treated with 30% Hydrochloric acid at $18^{\circ}C$ for two hows with stirring in order to obtain the insoluble form of SiO2 gel and to extract quantitatively both $Al_2O_3$as and $Fe_2O_3AlCl_3{\cdot}6H_2O Fe$ and $Cl_3{\cdot}6H_2O$ forms, respectively, at the same time. $SiO_2$ gel was filtered and to the filterate Ammonia was added to precipitate $Al(OH)_3[Fe(OH)_3 Contaminated ]$ The precipitate was separated by filteration and the filterate was recovered as the form of $NH_4Cl$. The precipitate was treated with 200g (NaOH)/l Concentration of NaOH a little excessively to the equivalent at $65~70^{\circ}C$ as $Fe(OH)_3$ formed was insoluble, it was filtered of and to the filterate containing $NaAl(OH)_4(OH_2)_2$Carbon dioxide gas was bubbled at $50^{\circ}C~90^{\circ}C$ to obtain the precipitate with excellent filterability and crystallinity. The product was certified to be Dawsonite $(NaAl(OH)_2CO_3)$ by X-Ray diffraction analysis at below $40^{\circ}C$, when $CO_2$ gas was bubbled into the relatively lower concentration of $NaAl(OH)_4(OH_2)_2$ solution, the precipitate of very fine particles was formed, which was hard to filter and with the Composition of $\alpha-Al_2O_3-H_2O$ (Boehmite).

Steel crucible used for molten Al has a problem of very limited lifetime because of the interaction between Fe and molten Al. This study was performed to improve the lifetime of steel crucible for molten Al by coating metallic Al and by further anodizing treatment to form thick and uniform anodic oxide films. The lifetime of the steel crucible was improved slightly by Al coating from 30 to 40 hours by metallic Al coating and largely to 120 hours by coating the surface with anodic oxide film. The improved lifetime was attributed to blocking of the reaction between Fe and molten Al with the help of anodic oxide layer with more than 20 um thickness on the crucible surface. The failure of the steel crucible arises from the formation of intermetallic compounds and pores at the steel/Al interface.

In this paper, we consider surfaces in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{E}^3$ which are of finite III-type, that is, they are of finite type, in the sense of B.-Y. Chen, corresponding to the third fundamental form. We present an important family of surfaces, namely, tubes in $\mathbb{E}^3$. We show that tubes are of infinite III-type.

It is well known what is impossible to refine primary and eutectic Si simultaneously by addition of both Cu-P and Sr(or Na). Because of the formation of compound $Sr_3P_2(or Na_3P)$ in the melt, in the result, both effects disappear. In this study Al-Cu-P alloy that comprises AlP compounds inside is added in the melt with Sr simultaneously. As AlP compounds that act on nucleation sites of primary Si are not formed but added directly an the melt, it is difficult to form $Sr_3P_2$ by reaction with Sr. Therefore it is possible to refine primary and eutectic Si simultaneously in the general casting process by use of Al-Cu-P alloy and Sr.

Al or Al-alloy have been known to be able to be claded on various materials by using explosive welding process, however, the intermetallic layer frequently formed along the interface have made this process very complicated. In this study, it was focussed to select the process variables, which can get rid of interfacial layer in the Al-claded steel plate. As a result, it was demonstrated that there was a certain range of explosive thickness which did not form the intermetallic phase as well as the non-bonded area. On the other hand, ultasonic tests performed for identifying the presence of interfacial layer nondestructively showed that it could be applied for the intended purpose but its result was weakly related with the microstructural quality of interface.

Plastic deformation was observed by TEM around the intragranular SiC particles in the $Al_2O_3$ matrix for $Al_2O_3/SiC$ nanocomposite system. The dislocations are generated at selected planes and there is a tendency for the dislocations to form a subgrain boundary structure with low-angel grain boundaries and networks. In this study, dislocation generated in the $Al_2O_3$ matrix during cooling down from sintering temperatures by the highly localized thermal stresses within and/or around SiC particles caused from the thermal expansion mismatch between $Al_2O_3$ matrix and SiC particle was observed. In monolithic $Al_2O_3$ and $Al_2O_3/SiC$ microcomposite system. These phenomena is closely related to the plastic relaxation of the elastic stress and strain energy associated with both thermal misfitting inclusions and creep behaviors. The plastic relaxation behavior was explained by combination of yield stress and internal stress.

Recently, it has been interested much that AlN (Aluminum Nitride) crystals can be applied to UV LEDs and high power devices as like GaN and SiC crystals. The reports about commercial grade of AlN wafers in the world have been absent, however several results for growth of large size of AlN single crystals have been reported from abroad. In this report, the result of AlN single crystals of a diameter of about 8 mm grown are reported. Optical microscopic characterization was applied to observe the form of the crystals and the crystal quality was evaluated by FWHM measurement by DCXRD rocking curve analysis.
