The effect of laser welding and surface treatment, developed as a method of repairing steam generator tubes, on the pitting corrosion resistance of alloy 690 was examined. The surfaces of some heat-treated Alloy 690 materials were melt-treated using the Nd-YAG laser beam, and then examined to characterize the microstructures. The resistance to pitting corrosion was evaluated by measuring of Ep(pitting potential) through the electrochemical tests and also by measuring the degree of pit generation through the immersion tests. The pit formation characteristics were investigated by observing microstructural changes and pit morphologies. The results show that the resistance to pitting corrosion increases in the order of the following list; solution annealed Alloy 690, thermally treated Alloy 690, and laser surface melt-treated Alloy 690. The melted region was found to have a cellular structure and fine precipitates. It was confirmed that the resistance of Alloy 690 to pit initiation and also to pit propagation was higher when it was laser treated than treated otherwise.

Nylon-inorganic filler alloy의 도금에 있어 최적 전처리 공정에 관하여 연구하였다. Nylon-inorganic filler alloy는 etching 공정만으로도 무정형층을 제거하여 요구되는 충분한 밀착력을 얻을 수 있었다. SEM과 표면조도 측정으로부터 etching 공정이 수지표면을 매우 거칠고 접착력을 우수하게 만든다는 결과를 얻었으며, 도금물질의 표면상태와 접착력은 Nylon-inorganic filler alloy 수지의 성형조건에 의존한다는 것을 확인하였다. EDS 분석으로 전처리 후 수지표면의 잔류금속의 종류와 양을 측정한 결과 Cr은 Sn과 Pd의 흡착에 크게 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

In this paper the intrinsic influence of micron-sized nickel particle reinforcements on microstructure, micro-hardness tensile properties and tensile fracture behavior of nano-alumina particle reinforced magnesium alloy AZ31 composite is presented and discussed. The unreinforced magnesium alloy (AZ31) and the reinforced nanocomposite counterpart (AZ31/1.5 vol.% $Al_2O_3$/1.5 vol.% Ni] were manufactured by solidification processing followed by hot extrusion. The elastic modulus and yield strength of the nickel particle-reinforced magnesium alloy nano-composite was higher than both the unreinforced magnesium alloy and the unreinforced magnesium alloy nanocomposite (AZ31/1.5 vol.% $Al_2O_3$). The ultimate tensile strength of the nickel particle reinforced composite was noticeably lower than both the unreinforced nano-composite and the monolithic alloy (AZ31). The ductility, quantified by elongation-to-failure, of the reinforced nanocomposite was noticeably higher than both the unreinforced nano-composite and the monolithic alloy. Tensile fracture behavior of this novel material was essentially normal to the far-field stress axis and revealed microscopic features reminiscent of the occurrence of locally ductile failure mechanisms at the fine microscopic level.

Alloy 617, Ni-22Cr-12Co-9Mo base oxide dispersion strengthened alloy was fabricated by using mechanical alloying, hot isostatic pressing and hot rolling. Uniaxial tensile tests were performed at room temperature and at $700^{\circ}C$. Compared with the conventional Alloy 617, ODS alloy showed much higher yield strength and tensile strength, but lower elongation. Fracture surfaces of the tensile tested specimens were investigated in order to find out the mechanism of fracture mode at each test temperature. Grain adjustment during tensile deformation was analyzed by electron backscattered diffraction mapping, inverse pole figures and TEM observation.

Twin-roll process is a relatively new continuous casting process which can produce high-quality strip products directly, and solidification rate can reach $10^3$ to $10^4$ K/s, leading to fine and uniform microstructures with enhanced mechanical properties. The strip casting condition for producing fine Al-Sn alloy strip was obtained experimentally, and defects appearing on the strip was examined. Crack formation and surface quality of the strip was found to depend mainly on process parameters such as melt temperature, roller gap and rolling speed. Sn structure of network type was observed in Al-20Sn and Al-40Sn alloy strips, and cell spacing of Al-40Sn alloy was smaller than that of Al-20Sn. Banding strength of the heat treated specimens increased with increasing of soaking time and temperature, and bonding strength of Al-20Sn alloy was more superior than that of Al-40Sn alloy. However wear resistance of Al-40Sn alloy contained large amount of soft Sn which possess good anti-friction characteristics was superior than that of Al-20Sn alloy.

In this paper, single fiber pull-out test is used to measure the interfacial bonding shear strength of $Ti_{50}-Ni_{50}$ shape memory alloy composite with temperature. Fiber and matrix of $Ti_{50}-Ni_{50}$ shape memory alloy composite are respectively $Ti_{50}-Ni_{50}$ shape memory alloy and epoxy resin. To strengthen the interfacial bonding shear stress, various surface treatments are used. They are the hand-sanded surface treatment, the acid etched surface treatment and the silane coupled surface treatment etc.. The interfacial bonding shear strength of surface treated shape memory alloy fiber is greater than that of surface untreated shape memory alloy fiber by from 10% to 16%. It is assured that the hand-sanded surface treatment and the acid etched surface treatment are the best way to strengthen the interfacial bonding shear strength of $Ti_{50}-Ni_{50}$ shape memory composite. The best treatment condition of surface is 10% HNO$_3$ solution in the etching method to strengthen the interfacial bonding shear strength of $Ti_{50}-Ni_{50}$ shape memory alloy composite.

The effects of calcium and silicon on microstructure and aging characteristics of AZ91 magnesium alloy during T5 treatment was investigated. The addition of 0.88% calcium or 0.25% silicon to AZ91 alloy made dendrite cell smaller. Especially, silicon is more effectively acted as refinement of the dendrite cell than calcium. It is due to that $Mg_2Si$ precipitated at the dendrite cell boundary or in the matrix during T5 treatment of Si added AZ91 alloy retarded the growth of the secondary phase. In the mean while, without inducing the precipitates containing calcium, calcium was segregated mainly around secondary phase such as $Mg_{17}Al_{12}$ and partially dissolved in ternary eutectic (Mg-Al-Ca) structure. In the AZ91 alloy containing both silicon and calcium, more finely distributed $Mg_2Si$ in matrix homogeneously and much finer microstructure were obtained than those containing silicon or calcium. Hence, An AZ91 containing both silicon and calcium was more effective to retarding the growth of the secondary phase than the other AZ91 alloy such as AZ91 alloy containing silicon or AZ91 alloy containing calcium.

The microstructure and hardness of a porcelain fused Au-Pt-Cu-In alloy was investigated using optical microscopy, secondary electron microscopy, electron probe microanalyzer, transmission electron microscope, and vickers hardness. The hardness of the heat-treated Au-Pt-Cu-In quartenary alloy reached a maximum value in 30 min at 550$^{\circ}C$ in the range of 150 to 950$^{\circ}C$. In the aged Au-Pt-Cu-0.5In alloy at 550$^{\circ}C$, the hardness of the alloy rapidly increased until 30min with increasing aging time and after that it was remained nearly constant value. Based on above results, glazing and final aging of the porcelain fused Au-Pt-Cu-0.5In alloy were performed at 920 and 550$^{\circ}C$, respectively. The hardness of Au-Pt-Cu-0.5In alloy glazed at 920$^{\circ}C$ was 90 Hv and that of the alloy aged for 30 min at 550$^{\circ}C$ increased to 160 Hv. This indicates that a ceramic-metal crown with high strength can be manufactured using the glazing at 920$^{\circ}C$ and followed final aging at 550$^{\circ}C$ for 30 min.

Effects of hydrogenation on microstructure and mechanical properties of pure Ti and Ti-0.15Pd alloy have been studied by means of optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimeter(DSC), Xray diffraction and micro vicker's hardness test. Grain size of pure Ti and Ti-0.15Pd alloy decresed largely by hydrogenation finer than that of pure Ti and the grain size refinement was evedent in Ti-0.15Pd alloy than that in pure Ti. Ti-.015Pd alloy carried out solution treatment at 950$^{\circ}C$, the transformation of $\alpha$' martensite was occured. The amount of Hydrogen absorption in Ti-.015Pd alloy was higher than that in pure Ti. Decomposition of hydride in pure titanium and Ti-0.15Pd alloy increased largely by hydrogenation, and micro vicker's hardness of Ti-.015Pd alloy was largely than that of pure Ti by 30% after hydrogenation. The micro vicker's hardness of Ti-0.15Pd alloy after solution treatment and dehydrogenation were higher at $\beta$ phase ranger(950$^{\circ}C$) than that phase range(750$^{\circ}C$).

Most Recently, with rapid development in marine industries such as marine structures and ship, there occurs much interest in the study of corrosion characteristics which play an important role in design of cooling water system like heat-exchanger. Especially, as operating environment of fresh cooling water system in vessels is acidified, this system is seriously corroded. In this study, to study on the corrosion characteristics of Al-alloy shell for cooler, the electrochemical polarization test of materials for the marine fresh water cooler such as Al-alloy, Cu and naval brass was carried out in fresh water. And thus the polarization resistance and anodic polarization behavior of Al-alloy, Cu and naval brass are investigated. Also, galvanic corrosion characteristics of Al-alloy coupled with Cu and naval brass is considered. The main results obtained are as follows ; (1) The current density of corrosion is high in order of Al-alloy > naval brass > Cu (2) As anodic potential increases, the corrosion resistance of naval brass is better than that of Cu. (3) The galvanic corrosion of Al-alloy coupled with Cu and naval brass is activated than corrosion of Al-alloy.
