In-situ quasicrystalline icosahedral (I) phase reinforced Ti-based bulk metallic glass (BMG) matrix composites have been successfully fabricated by using two distinct thermal histories for BMG forming alloy. The BMG composite containing micron-scale Iphase has been introduced by controlling cooling rate during solidification, whereas nano-scale I-phase reinforced BMG composite has been produced by partial crystallization of BMG. For mechanical properties, micron-scale I-phase distributed BMG composite exhibited lower strength and plasticity compared to the monolithic BMG. On the other hand, nano-scale icosahedral phase embedded BMG composite showed enhanced strength and plasticity. These improved mechanical properties were attributed to the multiplication of shear bands and blocking of the shear band propagation in terms of isolation and homogeneous distribution of nanosize icosahdral phases in the glassy matrix, followed by stabilizing the mechanical and deformation instabilities.

The p-type thermoelectric compounds of $Bi_2Te_3$ based doped with 3wt% Te were fabricated by a combination of rapid solidification and spark plasma sintering (SPS) process. The effect of holding time during spark plasma sintering (SPS) on the microstructure and thermoelectric properties were investigated using scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermoelectric properties. The powders as solidified consisted of homogeneous thermoelectric phases. The thermoelectric figure of merit measured to be maximum ($3.41{\times}10^{-3}/K$) at the SPS temperature of $430^{\circ}C$.

Weldability is largely dependent on the phase evolution and the microstructure of the weld. For the weldability of the $Cu_{54}Ni_6Zr_{22}Ti_{18}$ bulk metallic glass, the crystallization affects the sensitivity of the weld to the brittle failure. In order to suppress the irreversible crystallization, Nd:YAG laser welding was chosen. The pulsed Nd:YAG laser was irradiated onto the BMG plate and the effects of the pulse shape [peak power intensity and pulse duration time] on the crystallinity were evaluated.

${\alpha}$-titanium alloy has a relatively low heat treatment characteristic and it is mainly subjected to heat treatment for residual stress, recovery or dynamic recrystallization. In this study, commercially pure titanium hollow castings was fabricated by gravity casting. Heat treatments were carried out at $750^{\circ}C$, $850^{\circ}C$ and $950^{\circ}C$ to investigate the effect of post-heat treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties. Beta-transus temperature ($T_{\beta}$) was about $913^{\circ}C$, and equiaxed microstructure was shown at temperature below $T_{\beta}$ and lath-type microstructure at temperature above $T_{\beta}$. Microstructure and mechanical properties did not show any significant difference in the direction of solidification for titanium hollow billet, so it can be seen that it was a well-made material for extrusion process. The optimum heat treatment condition of hollow billet castings for the seamless tube production was $850^{\circ}C$, 4 hr, FC, indicating a combination of equiaxed microstructure and appropriate mechanical properties.

The poisoning effect of Zr in aluminum alloys was investigated by analyzing the filtered cakes of aluminum alloy melt taken with the $Prefil^{(R)}$ footprinter through a variety of analytic instruments, SEM/EDX, Auger, and TEM. Experimental results indicated that the morphology and chemical composition of the aluminum alloys were not modified with the addition of Zr, which is to previous belief that Zr poisoning is caused by modification of $(Ti_{1-x}Zr_x)Al_3$. On the other hand, $TiAl_3$ surroundig $TiB_2$ particles was modified and its lattice parameter was more mismatched by increasing Zr content, leading to less nucleation rate. This is also supported by the observation that the poisoning effect is reduced when Ti is added, resulting in a lower content ratio of Zr to Ti. These results suggest that extra Ti should be added to eliminate the poisoning effect of Zr in aluminum alloys containing Zr.

In this study, the effects of two different casting methods (gravity casting and, diecasting) and various solid-solution conditions on the mechanical properties of ASC (Al-10.5wt%Si-1.75wt%Cu) and ALDC12 (Al-10.3wt%Si-1.72wt%Cu-0.76wt%Fe-0.28wt% Mn-0.32wt%Mg-0.9wt%Zn) alloys were investigated. A thermodynamic solidification analysis program (PANDAT) was used to predict the liquidus, solidus, and phases of the used alloys. In the results of an XRD analysis, ${\beta}$-AlFeSi peaks were observed only in the ALDC12 alloy regardless of the casting method or SST (solid-solution treatment) conditions. However, according to the results of a FE-SEM observation, both ${\theta}(Al_2Cu)$ and ${\beta}$-AlFeSi were found to exist besides ${\alpha}$-Al and eutectic Si in the gravity-casted ASC alloy at $500^{\circ}C$ after a SST of 120min. The ${\alpha}$-AlFeSi and ${\beta}$-AlFeSi phases including the eutectic phases were also found to exist in the ALDC12 alloy. The results of a microstructural observation and analyses by XRD, FE-SEM and EDS were in good agreement with the PANDAT results. The gravity-casted ALDC12 and ASC specimens showed the highest Y.S. and UTS values after aging for three hours at $180^{\circ}C$ after a SST at $500^{\circ}C$ for 30min. At longer solid-solution treatment times at $500^{\circ}C$ in the gravity-casted ALDC12 and ASC specimens, the elongations of the ASC alloys increased, whereas they decreased slightly in the ALDC12 alloys.

7000계 알루미늄 합금은 다른 Al 합금에 비해 강도가 우수하여 주목을 받고있으며, 7000계 알루미늄 빌렛은 일반적으로 Direct-Chill (DC) 주조 공정을 통해 제조된다. DC 주조 공정으로 제조된 알루미늄 빌렛의 표면 결함은 주로 Exudation과 Meniscus freezing 현상과 관련이 있으며, 이는 합금 성분, 주조 속도 및 주조 온도의 영향을 받는다. 특히, 7000계 알루미늄 합금은 응고 과정에서 응고 온도 범위가 넓어 주조 결함이 발생하기 쉽다. 본 연구에서는 DC 주조 공정에 의해 제조된 Al-8Zn-2Mg-2Cu 합금 빌렛에 대한 표면 결함 변화에 대하여 조사하였다. 빌렛의 표면은 "Wavy" 또는 "Dot" 표면으로 관찰되었다. Wavy 표면은 낮은 주조 속도(200mm/min)와 온도(655℃)에서 Meniscus freezing 현상에 의해 형성되었으며, Concave 영역에서 Meniscus freezing 현상으로 인한 조성작 과냉으로 인해 미세한 수지상 조직이 관찰되었다. 반면에, 주조 온도가 높은 조건(675℃)에서는 Dot 표면이 기공 형성에 의해 형성되었으며, 높은 주조 속도(230mm/min)에서 제조된 Dot 표면을 갖는 빌렛에서는 높은 금속 수두압에 의해 Exudation 층이 형성되었다. Exudation 층의 Dot 영역과 Smooth 영역은 각각 미세한 수지상 형태와 주상정 형태의 조직이 관찰되었으며 이는 Dot 영역에서 가스 기공의 형성에 의한 결과이다.

Ni기 초내열합금 GTD 111의 미세조직의 변화와 크리프 파단특성에 대해 연구하였다. 조직관찰을 통해 본 합금의 응고거동과 주조 후 응고과정에서 석출거동을 분석하였다. MC탄화물의 생성위치가 $\gamma$/$\gamma$' 상 보다 수지상 중심에서 가까운 것으로 MC탄화물이 $\gamma$/$\gamma$'공정상보다 먼저 응고된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. $\eta$상은 Ti가 많은 $\gamma$'상에서 변태되어 형성되었으며, $\gamma$/$\gamma$'공정상에서 η상으로의 변태에 따라 $\eta$상 근처에 PFZ가 형성되고 PFZ 내부에 TaC가 석출됨을 확인하였다. $871^{\circ}C$이상의 온도에서 크리프 파단은 결정입계를 따라 진행되는 것이 명확하였으며, 표면에서 형성된 균열과 내부에서 생성된 균열이 전파, 조합되어 최종파단을 초래하였다. 결정입계 균열의 생성은 최종응시 형성된 미세공동과 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 분석되었으며, $\eta$상과 PFZ는 균열 생성에 큰 영향을 주지 않았다.

IN 738LC, the major material for gas-turbine for power generation, was heat treated at $750^{\circ}C$, $850^{\circ}C$, $950^{\circ}C$ for 1000, 2000, and 4000 hrs and the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties were examined using optical microscope, XRD, SEM/EDS. The results showed ${\gamma}$', the main strengthening elements in this alloy, was about 300 nm in size and was about 56% by area fraction in as-cast samples. The area fraction of ${\gamma}$' peaked at 2000 hours at $750^{\circ}C$. The average diameter of the ${\gamma}$' which was about 300 nm at ascast specimen increased to about 1 $\mu\textrm{m}$ after heat treatment at $950^{\circ}C$ for 4000 hrs. Carbides were formed at dendrite, cell or grain boundaries which was ascribed to the segregation caused by solute redistribution during solidification. It was found that MC type carbides formed at low temperature, whereas carbides of $M_{23}$ /$C_{ 6}$/ type formed at higher temperature or at longer degradation. The hardness and impact energy decreased as the heat treatment temperature or time of retention increased, which was inaccrodance with the area fraction of ${\gamma}$'.
