Y-TZP/Ce-TZP ceramics having relative sintered densities of>95% average grain sizes of 0.36$\mu\textrm{m}$ microhar-dness of 1150 kg/mm2 fracture strength of 390-830 MPa and toughness of 6.4-10.2 MPa$.$mm1/2 were prepared by conventional sintering of 3 mol% Y2O3-ZrO2 and 12 mol% CeO2-ZrO2 powders at 1400 and 1500$^{\circ}C$ The average grain sizes of Y-TZP/Ce-TZP ceramics were mainly governed by those of Ce-TZP. White increasing Ce-TZP content toughness increased while microhardness and fracture strength decreased. With comparing microhardness and toughness fracture strength was more sensitive on not only grain size but also other factors such as microstructural and compositional variations. The densification of Y-TZP/Ce-TZP cermaics was not greatly affected by composition and soaking time at temperature over 1400$^{\circ}C$ With increasing CE-TZP content the stability of t-ZrO2 decreased under thermal aging in air whereas increased in hydrothermal atmosphere and aqueous solution.

Titanium alloys have been attractive due to a high ratio of strength to weight as well as good corrosion resistance. However, strengthening causes a decrease in ductility in Ti alloys, as is usual in other alloys. For enhanced strength without ductility reduction, grain refinement and tensile properties were investigated as functions of thickness reduction of cold rolling and annealing condition in Ti-15V-3Cr-3Sn-3Al alloy with a ${\beta}$ single phase. The average grain size of the specimen, which was cold-rolled by 90% and annealed at 700$^{\circ}C$ for 5 min, was decreased to approximately 19 ${\mu}m$. The grain refinement of 63 μm to 19 ${\mu}m$ increased yield stress by 90 MPa without a significant decrease in total elongation. The Ti-15-3 alloy exhibited very low work hardening during tensile test at a crosshead speed of 2 mm/min. This result was discussed based on dynamic recovery associated with dislocation annihilation in grain boundaries.

Si3N4/SiC nanocomposite ceramics containing 5 wt%dispersed SiC particles were prepared by gas-pressure-sintering at 200$0^{\circ}C$ under nitrogen atmosphere. SiC particles with average sizes of 0.2 and 0.5${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ were used, and the effect of the SiC particle size on the microstructure was investigated. The addition of SiC particles effectively suppressed the growth of the Si3N4 matrix grains. The effect of grain growth inhibition was higher in the nanocomposites dispersed with fine SiC. SiC particles were dispersed uniformly inside Si3N4 matrix grains and on grain boundaries. When the fine SiC particles were added, large fraction of the SiC particles was trapped inside the grains. On the other hand, when the large SiC particles were added, most of the SiC particles were located on grain boundaries. Typically, the fraction of SiC particles located at grain boundaries was higher in the specimen prepared from $\beta$-Si3N4 than in the specimen prepared from $\alpha$-Si3N4.

Sediments and river waters form the channel of Hwasun-cheon were studied in sedimentological size and geochemical analyses of metallic elements for the purposes of identification of depositional environments and geochemical characteristics. The sizes of sediments are assigned to pebble to coarse sand in mean size and polymodal in distribution. And the sediments are poorly to very poorly sorted and positively skewed. According to the grain size distributions of the sediments, the Hwasun-cheon belongs to gravel-bed river on the basis of the grain size distribution of the sediments. The behaviors of metallic elements in the sediments mainly depend on not grain size distribution but the geology connected with geomorphological reliefs near the stream. Contamination indices(CI) of Zn, Cu and Pb are 2.83 to 6.96 with average 4.31 in the sediments. Hwasun-cheon is assigned to general stream type in accordance with water quality of physical factors and chemical characteristics by Piper's diagram. Though meaningful values of BOD, T-N, T-P were locally depicted near Masan-ri, Hwasun-eup and Jiseok-cheon areas, artificial metal concentration do not represent in the most area of the stream. Sediments and river water are considered that the relatively more or less high metallic contents in the stream are originated from coal mine and urban area.

The variation of sintered density and fain size in ex-AUC, ex-ADU and granulated ex-ADU UO$_2$ pellets in which 0.1~1.0wt% Nb$_2$O$_{5}$ were doped were examined. Pellets were sintered in an atmosphere of H$_2$ at 1$700^{\circ}C$ for 4h. All the specimens tested shooed more than 94% T.D.(Theoretical Density). Sintered density decreased with increasing the amount of Nb$_2$O$_{5}$. Powder types had little influence on the sintered density. Pore size distribution was shifted to the larger ones as Nb$_2$O$_{5}$ was added. The increase of total pore volume and grain growth due to the addition of Nb$_2$O$_{5}$ were thought to be the cause of the sintered density decrease. The largest grain size was seen in the 1. 0wt% Nb$_2$O$_{5}$ doped ex-AUC UO$_2$ pellets. Their average size was 13.9 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$.m}$.

In this paper, the structural and dielectric properties of (Sr$_{l-x}$Ca$_{x}$)TiO$_3$ (0$\leq$x$\leq$0.2) -based grain boundary layer ceramics were investigated by XRD, SEM and HP4194A. The ceramics were fabricated by the conventional mixed oxide method. The sintering temperature and time were 1420~152$0^{\circ}C$ and 4 hours, respectively. The average grain size and the lattice constant were decreased with increasing content of Ca. The average grain size was increased with increase of sintering temperature. The relative density of all specimens was 96~98%. The 2nd Phase formed by the thermal diffusion of CuO from the surface leads to very excellent dielectric properties, that is, $\varepsilon$$_{r}$>50000, tan $\delta$<0.05, $\Delta$C<$\pm$10%. The appropriate Ca content was under 15 ㏖%.s under 15 ㏖%.%.

In this study, the development of annealing textures in cold rolled and annealed tantalum sheets was analyzed using electron backscatter diffraction. At $900^{\circ}C$, the textures of the recrystallized grains in the partially and completely recrystallized microstructures displayed significant similarities. The average diameter of the recrystallized grains with ${\gamma}-fiber$ orientations exceeded that of grains with different orientations, and the average growth rates were unrelated to the orientations after an initial stage of recrystallization. Additional cold rolling and annealing was done for controlled initial microstructures and textures inherited from various processes of prior cold rolling and annealing. This second cycle of the process resulted in stronger textures with major ${\gamma}-fiber$ orientations as a result of the enhanced ${\gamma}-fiber$ orientations in the preceding textures. A coarse-grained prior microstructure resulted in a weaker annealing texture than a fine grained one regardless of the stronger previous texture, which was occasioned by the sub-structures of the minor orientations at local deformation inhomogeneities such as sharp in-grain shear bands.

This paper describes the concept and the characteristics of hyper interfacial bonding developed as a new concept joining process for UFG (ultra-fine grained) steel. Hyper interfacial bonding process is characterized by instantaneous surface melting bonding which involves a series of steps, namely, surface heating by high frequency induction, the rapid removing of heating coil and joining by pressing specimens. UFG steels used in this study have the average grain size of 1.25 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The surface of specimen can be rapidly heated up and melted within 0.2s. Temperature gradient near heated surface is relatively steep, and peak temperature drastically fell down to about 1100K at the depth of 2~3mm away from the heated surface of specimen. Bainite is observed near bond interface, and also M-A (martensite-austenite) islands are observed in HAZ. Grain size increases with increasing heating power, however, the grain size in bonded zone can be restrained under 11 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Hardened zone is limited to near bond interface, and the maximum hardness is Hv350~Hv390.

As a new approach to analyze grinding energy, this paper introduces a specific grinding energy model based on the average grain. Using this model, grinding characteristics such as specific grinding energy of SM45C were investigated with changing variables such as grain size of CBN, workpiece velocity(v) and apparent depth of cut(Z) in down-surface grinding. From the experimental results, the specific grinding energy decreases as the maximum undeformed chip thickness increases.

Various grain refining alloying elements such as Sr, TiB, and Ca were added to AZ91D and their effects on the mechanical properties and mold filling ability were investigated. The average grain sizes of those alloys were significantly reduced by the small amounts of the alloying elements. Ca addition was the most remarkably effective in reducing the grain size, however it was found to deteriorate the mold filling ability and tensile properties. TiB addition was observed to be the most efficient for both grain refinement and mold filling.
