Gadolinium tetraboride ($GdB_4$) was synthesized by reduction of $Gd_2O_3$ using boron carbide in presence of carbon. Effect of temperature on product quality was investigated. Pure $GdB_4$ powder was obtained in vacuum at $1500^{\circ}C$. Pressureless sintering experiments revealed that sintering takes place only above $1600^{\circ}C$. A maximum density of 77.1% of the theoretical value was obtained at $1800^{\circ}C$ by pressureless sintering. Hot pressing resulted in 95.5% of theoretical density at the lower temperature of $1700^{\circ}C$ under 35 MPa pressure. Hardness and fracture toughness of dense $GdB_4$ were measured and found to be 21.4 GPa and $2.3MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$, respectively. After exposure to air at $900^{\circ}C$, the formation of a porous and non-protective oxide layer was observed.

$TiB_2$-reinforced iron matrix composite (Fe-$TiB_2$) powder was in-situ fabricated from titanium hydride ($TiH_2$) and iron boride (FeB) powders by the mechanical activation and a subsequent reaction. Phase formation of the composite powder was identified by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The morphology and phase composition were observed and measured by field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), respectively. The results showed that $TiB_2$ particles formed in nanoscale were uniformly distributed in Fe matrix. $Fe_2B$ phase existed due to an incomplete reaction of Ti and FeB. Effect of milling process and synthesis temperature on the formation of composite were discussed.

In this study, the mechanical properties of boronized 316L austenitic stainless steel have been investigated. Boronizing was carried out in solid medium consisting of Ekabor powder at $900^{\circ}C$ and $1000^{\circ}C$ for 2, 4 and 8 hours, respectively. The properties of sample were analyzed by field emission scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffractometer, Glow discharge spectrometer, micro-hardness tester and ball-on-disk wear tester. Increasing the boronizing time and temperature, the hardness of boronized samples were shown over Hv 2000 and the thickness of boride layers were also increased linearly. XRD patterns of samples were revealed the presence of borides such as FeB, $Fe_2B$, CrB, $Cr_2B$ and $Ni_3B$. Friction coefficient of boronized STS 316L was shown the low value at $900^{\circ}C$ for 8 hours and $1000^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours, respectively.

Zirconium diboride (ZrB2) and mixed diboride of (Zr0.7Ta0.3)B2 containing 30 vol.% silicon carbide (SiC) composites were prepared by hot-pressing at $1800^{\circ}C$. XRD analysis identified the high crystalline metal diboride-SiC composites at $1800^{\circ}C$. The TaB2 addition to ZrB2-SiC showed a slight peak shift to a higher angle of 2-theta of ZrB2, which confirmed the presence of a homogeneous solid solution. Elastic modulus, hardness and fracture toughness were slightly increased by addition of TaB2. A volatility diagram was calculated to understand the oxidation behavior. Oxidation behavior was investigated at $1500^{\circ}C$ under ambient and low oxygen partial pressure (pO2~10-8 Pa). In an ambient environment, the TaB2 addition to the ZrB2-SiC improved the oxidation resistance over entire range of evaluated temperatures by formation of a less porous oxide layer beneath the surface SiO2. Exposure of metal boride-SiC at low pO2 resulted in active oxidation of SiC due to the high vapor pressure of SiO (g), and, as a result, it produced a porous surface layer. The depth variations of the oxidized layer were measured by SEM. In the ZrB2-SiC composite, the thickness of the reaction layer linearly increased as a function of time and showed active oxidation kinetics. The TaB2 addition to the ZrB2-SiC composite showed improved oxidation resistance with slight deviation from the linearity in depth variation.

비양성자성 극성용매인 탄산에틸렌과 아세톤과의 혼합용매에서 NaI, KI,$ NH_4I,\;(CH_3)_4NI,\;(C_2H_5)_4NI$, NaPic(Pic:피크린산이온), KPic, $(C_4H_9)_4NB(ph)_4$의 전기전도도를 $25{\circ}C$에서 측정하였다. 한계당량전도도를 Fuoss-Kraus식에 의하여 구한 결과 그 크기의 순위는 혼합용매의 성분비에 관계없이 $(C_4H_9)_4NB(ph)_4이었다. 이 전해질들의 해리상수로 부터 탄산에틸렌-아세톤 혼합용매는 이들에 대하여 좋은 이온화용매임을 알 수 있었다. 한계이온당량 전도도의 순위, $Na^+는 용매화수의 역순위와 일치하였다. Nightingale 방법에 의하여 구한 각 이온의 유효 용매화반지름에 의하면 피크린산이온은 용매화되어 있지 않으며, 요오드화이온은 탄산에틸렌-아세톤 혼합용매에서 상당히 용매화되어 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Zirconium boride is an artificial or which is rarely found in the nature. $ZrB_2$ is popular in the hard material industry because it has a high melting point, excellent mechanical properties and chemical stability. There are two known methods to synthesize $ZrB_2$. The first involves direct reaction between Zr and B, and the second is by reduction of the metal halogen. However, these two methods are known to be unsuitable for mass production. SHS(Self-propagating High-temperature Synthesis) is an efficient and economic method for synthesizing hard materials because it uses exothermic reactions. In this study, $ZrB_2$ was successfully synthesized by subjecting $ZrO_2$, Mg and $B_2O_3$ to SHS. Because of the high combustion temperature and rapid combustion, in conjunction with the stoichiometric ratio of $ZrO_2$, Mg and $B_2O_3$; single phase $ZrB_2$ was not synthesized. In order to solve the temperature problem, Mg and NaCl additives were investigated as diluents. From the experiments it was found that both diluents effectively stabilized the reaction and combustion regime. The final product, made under optimum conditions, was single-phase $ZrB_2$ of $0.1-0.9{\mu}m$ particle size.

본 연구에서는 용융가압함침 공정을 이용하여 TiC, $TiB_2$, $Al_2O_3$ 세라믹 입자가 분산된 SUS431 금속복합재료를 제조하고 미세조직을 분석하여 세라믹 입자에 따른 제조성에 대해 검토하였다. 젖음성이 나쁜 $Al_2O_3$의 경우 내부에 결함이 다수 존재함을 알 수 있었으며, $TiB_2$ 및 TiC 입자 강화 복합재의 경우 상대적으로 결함이 적고 강화재가 균일 분산되었음을 확인하였다. 특히, TiC-SUS431 복합재료의 경우 TiC와 Fe계 기지합금의 우수한 젖음성 및 용융가압함침공정 적용으로 우수한 계면 특성을 가지며 결함이 적고 균일한 미세조직을 가지는 것을 확인하였다.

점계수법이나 영상분석법으로는 미세조직상 구분이 어렵고 측정이 곤란할 정도로 미량인 석출물들의 분율을 구하는 것이 불가능하다. 본 연구에서는 미량석출물을 전기화학적으로 모재에서 추출한 후, 추출물에 대한 정량 X-선 회절분석법을 이용하여 니켈기 초내열합금 Udimet 720의 기계적성질에 중요한 영향을 미치는 미량석출물인 시그마, 탄소화물, 붕소화물 등의 상분율을 측정하였다. 미량석출물들의 양적 변화를 유도하기 위해 합금을 $800^{\circ}C$에서 3000시간까지 노출시켰을 때, 유지시간이 증가할수록 시그마상의 석출양이 지수함수적으로 증가하였으며 3000시간 정도 유지되면 시그마상 석출이 둔화되어 포화상태에 가깝게 되는 것을 확인하였다. 석출이 완료되는 시점은 약 5000시간 부근으로 예측되며, 최대로 석출할 수 있는 시그마상의 양은 무게비로 5% 정도였다. 한편, $M_{23}C_6$와 $M_3B_2$의 양은 유지시간에 무관하게 무게분율로 0.1~0.5% 범위의 일정한 값을 보였다.
