The evolution of dynamic recrystallization (DRX) was studied with torsion test for AISI 304 stainless steel in the temperature range of $900-1000^{\circ}C$ and strain rate range of 0.05-5/sec. The evolution of DRX was investigated with microstructural analysis and change of flow stress curve slope. The investigation of serrated grain boundaries using electron back scattered diffraction (EBSD) analysis indicated that the nucleated new DRX grain size was similar to the size of bulging part. Before the steady state, the dynamically recrystallizing grains do not remain a constant size and gradually grow to the size of fully DRX grain at steady state. The calculation of grain size was based on $X_{DRX}$ and the assumption, which the nucleated DRX grains are growing to the steady state, continuously. It was found that the calculated results agreed with the microstructure of the alloy.

The effect of lubrication on the development of textures and Microstructure was studied by different lubricating condition during hot rolling of AA1050 aluminum alloy. Hot rolling without lubrication led to the evolution of the pronounced through-thickness texture gradients, whereas hot rolling with lubrication gave rise to the formation of uniform rolling texture in the whole thickness layer. The variation of texture and microstructure according to hot rolling condition are investigated by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and Electron Back-Scattered Diffraction (EBSD). The experimental results were discussed base on the finite element method (FEM) simulation. FEM calculation reveals that a larger friction between roll and sheet causes the deviated strain state from a plane strain leading to the formation of shear textures in the thickness layers close to the surface.

Electromigration(EM) tests were carried out on Al and Cu films in HV systems to study surface migration. The Al films were made on oxidized silicon wafers by thermal evaporation, in-situ annealed at 300$^{\circ}C$, patterned, and EM tested at 260$^{\circ}C$ and 4.5MA/$\textrm{cm}^2$. SEM observation with back scattered electron mode on the EM tested Al films disclosed that thinning took place under the native Al oxide. In the case of Cu films, tested using in-situ TEM, thinning was also observed at the early stage of void formation even though the thinned areas were much less than those of the Al films.

옥천 변성대 남서부 지역에서 산출되는 변성 니질암에서는 muscovite, biotite 및 chlorite를 주로하는 phyllosilicate가 서로 intergrowth 또는 interlayer를 이루는 것이 편광현미경 관찰, EPMA 분석, Back Scattered Electron (BSE) image 관찰 및 Transmission Electron Micro-scope(TEM) 관찰을 통하여 확인되었다. 이들 광물들은 편광현미경 관찰에서 흔히 각각의 입자를 식별할 수 없을 정도의 미세 규모로 서로 intergrow 되어 있으며BSE image에서는 0.1$\mu\textrm{m}$ 이하의 아주 작은 크기에서부터 10.0$\mu\textrm{m}$ 정도 크기까지 다양한 규모의 intergrow를 형성하고 있음이 관찰되었다. TEM scale에서는 개별 layer 크기(약 10$\AA$)에서부터 수십 개 layer 크기의 interlayering을 보여준다. 이와 같은 intergrowth 또는 interlayering의 결과로 EPMA 분석에서 종종 보기에는 규진(homogeneous)한 입자라 하더라도 두 개 이상의 광물 성분이 섞여 있는 분석값을 나타내며 이러한 nonstoichiometry는 BSE image에서 interlayer(또는 intergrow) 된 것으로 관찰되는 부분에서 더욱 두드러진다.Chlorite zone에서는 chlorite와 muscovite의 interlayering (C/M)이 주로 발견되며 biotite zone과 garnet zone에서는 chlorite와 biotite의 interlayer (C/B)가 주로 관찰된다. 이는 chlorite zone에서는 속성작용에서 보편적으로 나타나는 C/M으로부터 chlorite가 분리되는 광물반응이 일어나는데 반해서 biotite zone과 garnet zone에서는 chlorite로부터 C/B를 거쳐 biotite를 생성하는 광물반응이 일어나는 것을 의미한다. 이와 같은 현상은 변성작용에서 phollosilicate의 광물반응의 엄밀한 의미에서는 평형(equilibrium) 상태에서 균질한 광물을 생성하기보다는 비평형(disequilibrium) 반응으로 일어난다는 것을 의미한다.

An investigation has been done to study the evolution of the microstructure, mechanical and electrical properties of AlMgSi alloy destined for the transport of electric energy, in function of the deformation caused by the cold drawing process. We identified that drawing of aluminum wire causes development of a fibrous texture of type <111> and <100>. We notice also that the electrical resistivity and mechanical resistance increases with the increasing of the deformation level. Characterization methods used in this work is: The Electron Back Scattered Diffraction EBSD, X-Ray diffraction, Vickers microhardness, Tensile test, Measuring electrical resistivity, the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Energy Diffraction Spectrum (EDS).

Intergrowth texture of biotite and chlorite crystals within an amphibolitic schist of the northwestern Okchon metamorphic belt was investigated using back-scattered electron (BSE) imaging and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). BSE images show that thin chlorite and biotite packets are mixed along (001) plane to result in intergrowth texture. In addition, rutile particles of submicron size occur exclusively at the boundaries between biotite and chlorite stacks. HRTEM investigation and remnant biotite layers are closely associated with such boundaries, suggestinga possibility that chlorite layers were formed from biotite during retrograde metamorphic reaction. Such intepretation of the origin of intergrowth texture can be further supported biotite is approximately 2 w%, and that of chlorite usually lower than 0.2 wt%. Ti was apparently leached out during the alteratin of biotite to precipitate rutile particles at the such rutile particles could be an important indicator showing that the intergrowth texture of chlorite and biotite is originated by a retrograde metamorphism rather than by incomplete chlorite-to-biotite reaction during prograde metamorphism. Biotite crystals contain intercalated chlorite layers will result in somewhat high Mg and Al, and the use of such inhomogeneous biotite will result in impreciese geothermobarometric calculations.

The effect of carbon addition on the general corrosion behavior of high-chromium cast iron (HCCI) was studied by a scanning electron microscope with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) or electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD), or electrochemical polarization techniques in 0.1 mol dm^-3 H₂SO₄ + 0.05 mol dm^-3 HCl at room temperature. The addition of 2.1-2.8 wt% carbon to HCCI increased the fraction of eutectic austenite and eutectic carbide phases, while that of HCCI decreased the fraction of the primary austenitic phase. Potentiostatic polarization of the HCCI at -0.35 V_SSCE or 0.0 V_SSCE resulted in preferential general corrosion of the primary austenitic or eutectic austenitic phases, respectively. The decrease in corrosion current density and the shift in noble corrosion potential direction with increasing carbon content in the HCCI indicated that the fraction and the chemical composition of austenitic (primary and eutectic) and carbide phases were strongly related to the general corrosion behavior of the HCCI.

Microlite is crystallized under the supercooled condition of volcanic magma. This study reports the morphology and texture of microlites included in the obsidians from the Baekdusan (Mt. Baekdu), Kyushu (Japan), Hokkaido (Japan) and Lipari Island (Italy) by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Morphology and texture observed from the back scattered electron (BSE) image could give more detailed information on the microlite crystallization which cannot be acquired from the conventional optical microscope. Ten types of microlites are newly described according to the 14 morphological types of microlites by Clark (1961): Lath, Crenulite, Bacillite, Margarite, Belonites, Trichites, Arculites, Furculite, Scopulites, Scopulitic growth. Detailed description of the ten microlites can be used to interpret the crystallization and paragenetic relations of crystals during the cooling of acidic volcanic magma.

To achieve the fabrication of high-quality Ag-coated Cu particles through a wet chemical process, we reported herein pretreatment conditions using an ammonium-based mixed solvent for the removal of a $Cu_2O$ layer on Cu particles that were oxidized in air for 1 hr at $200^{\circ}C$ or for 3 days at room temperature. Furthermore, we discussed the results of post-Ag plating with respect to removal level of the oxide layer. X-ray diffraction results revealed that the removal rate of the oxide layer is directly proportional to the concentration of the pretreatment solvent. With the results of Auger electron spectroscopy using oxidized Cu plates, the concentrations required to completely remove 50-nm-thick and 2-nm-thick oxides within 5 min were determined to be X2.5 and X0.13. However, the optimal concentrations in an actual Ag plating process using Cu powder increased to X0.4 and X0.5, respectively, because the oxidation in powder may be accelerated and the complete removal of oxide should be tuned to the thickest oxide layer among all the particles. Back-scattered electron images showed the formation of pure fine Ag particles instead of a uniform and smooth Ag coating in the Ag plating performed after incomplete removal of the oxide layer, indicating that the remaining oxide layer obstructs heterogeneous nucleation and plating by reduced Ag atoms.
