This study investigated the effects of the addition of Zn, Ca, and SiC on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Mg-Al alloys. The tensile properties of homogenized Mg-xAl (x = 6, 7, 8, and 9 wt.%) alloys increased with increasing Zn content by the solid-solution strengthening effect. However, when the added Zn content exceeded the solubility limit, the strength and ductility of the alloys decreased greatly owing to premature fracture caused by undissolved coarse particles or local melting. Among the Mg-xAl-yZn alloys tested in this study, the AZ74 alloy showed the best tensile properties. However, from the viewpoints of the thermal stability, castability, and tensile properties, the AZ92 alloy was deemed to be the most suitable cast alloy. Moreover, the addition of a small amount (0.17 wt.%) of SiC reduced the average grain size of the AZ91 alloy significantly, from $430{\mu}m$ to $73{\mu}m$. As a result, both the strength and the elongation of the AZ91 alloy increased considerably by the grain-boundary hardening effect and the suppression of twinning behavior, respectively. On the other hand, the addition of Ca (0.5-1.5 wt.%) and a combined addition of Ca (0.5-1.5 wt.%) and SiC (0.17 wt.%) increased the average grain size of the AZ91 alloy, which resulted in a decrease in its tensile properties. The SiC-added AZ92 alloy exhibited excellent tensile properties (YS 125 MPa, UTS 282 MPa, and EL 12.3%), which were much higher than those of commercial AZ91 alloy (YS 93 MPa, UTS 192 MPa, and EL 7.0%). The fluidity of the SiC-added AZ92 alloy was slightly lower than that of the AZ91 alloy because of the expansion of the solid-liquid coexistence region in the former. However, the SiC-added AZ92 alloy showed better hot-tearing resistance than the AZ91 alloy owing to its refined grain structure.

The high-temperature stability of Mg-8.0Zn-1.6Y (wt.%) alloys upon the addition of Ca has been investigated by characterizing the ignition temperature, microstructure, tensile and creep properties. The ignition temperature increases with an increase in the Ca content, indicating that an addition of Ca enhances the ignition resistance of the Mg-Zn-Y alloy. The as-cast microstructures of all tested alloys mainly consisted of the dendritic α-Mg matrix and I-phase (Mg₃Zn₆Y) at the grain boundaries. In the Ca-added Mg-8.0Zn-1.6Y alloys, the Ca₂Mg₆Zn₃ phase forms, with this phase fraction increasing with an increase in the Ca contents. However, a high volume fraction of the Ca₂Mg₆Zn₃ phase rather deteriorates the mechanical properties. Therefore, a moderate amount of Ca element in Mg-8.0Zn-1.6Y alloys is effective for improving the tensile and creep properties of the Mg-Zn-Y alloy. The Mg-8.0Zn-1.6Y-0.3Ca alloy exhibits the highest tensile strength and the lowest creep strain among the alloys investigated in the present study. The creep resistance of Mg-Zn-Y-Ca alloys depends on the selection of the secondary solidification phase; i.e., when Ca₂Mg₆Zn₃ forms in an alloy containing a high level of Ca, the creep resistance deteriorates because Ca₂Mg₆Zn₃ is less stable than the I-phase at a high temperature.

경주 황남동의 통일신라시대 생활유적에서 출토된 철솥을 유리공방에서 사용된 도가니로 추정하고 있어, 이에 대한 과학적인 분석을 통해 철솥의 용도를 밝혀보기로 하였다. 우선 보존처리를 실시해 철솥의 원형을 찾아주고, 철솥 표면에 발생한 부식물 5점에 대해 SEM-EDS 분석 및 XRD 분석을 수행하였다. 철솥의 외형에 있어 도가니로 추정하는 데 가장 큰 역할을 했던 주구부분의 편이 보존처리 과정에서 발견되어 구연부는 완전한 상태로 복원되었다. 금속시편의 조직을 관찰한 결과 열처리없이 서서히 냉각시킨 주조철제로 밝혀졌다. 부식물의 성분원소는 Fe과 O를 주성분으로 한 P, Si, Ca, S 등으로서, 주요 구성 화화물은 quartz, vivianite, goethite, akaganeite, lepidocrocite, hematite 등이었다. 이와 같은 구성 성분들은 유리의 제조원료로서 이들이 철솥 외부표면의 부식물층에서 용융상태가 아닌 원료로 확인되었다는 것은 철솥이 출토된 유적이 유리제조와 관련된 공방지였다는 것을 알려주는 증거가 될 수는 있으나, 철솥이 유리 용융 도가니로 사용되었다는 증거가 될 수는 없다. 또한 철솥 출토 당시 우물지 안에 퇴적되어 있던 유기물 부식토와 사질점토 등을 고려해 보면 이들이 철솥의 부식물 형성인자로 작용한 것으로 볼 수도 있다. 따라서 철솥은 전형적인 주조철제로 도가니로 사용되지는 않은 것으로 결론지을 수 있다.

회암사지에서 출토된 3점의 금탁에 대한 성분조성과 미세조직을 분석하여 조선초기 금탁(琴鐸)을 제작하기 위한 주조방법과 가공처리 기술에 대해 살펴보았다. 분석결과 구리, 주석, 납을 주성분으로 하며, 그 비율은 평균 85 : 8 : 7로 나타났다. 주성분인 구리, 주석, 납을 제외한 10개의 원소가 0.3% 이하의 적은 양으로 검출되어 비교적 잘 정련된 구리소재가 사용되었음을 알 수 있다. 또한 검출된 10개의 미량 원소 중 황과 철은 공급된 구리소재의 원광석으로 황동광이나 휘동광 등 황이 포함된 광석일 가능성을 보여준다. 주조방법으로 사형주조법이 적용되었으며, 방법은 먼저 주물사로 틀을 만들고, 여기에 거푸집을 종 모양대로 세워놓고 구리-주석-납을 용해시킨 청동 주물을 정수리에서 하륜부 방향으로 부어 본체를 만들었다. 형태가 완성된 뒤에는 표면 가공을 위한 추가적인 열처리 없이 가질 작업을 통해 표면을 정리하였다. 모든 가공처리 공정이 마무리된 뒤에는 정수리 부분에 풍판을 연결시키기 위해 철제 연결고리를 끼우고, 그 부분에만 용해된 청동 주물을 부어 고정시켰다. 금탁의 표면에 음각된 명문의 새김법은 축조각과 모조각 기법이 각각 다르게 사용되었고, 획순과 서체에서 차이가 나는 점에 비추어 명문 조각에는 다수의 장인이 동원된 것으로 보인다. 청동기 제작기술의 변천과정을 입증할 만한 사료나 이와 관련된 연구 성과물이 매우 부족한 현 실정에서 제작 연대와 제작 주체가 명확한 금탁에 대한 과학적인 조사연구는 향후 청동기 제작기술 체계의 전반적인 흐름을 이해하는 데 있어서 중요한 자료이다.

Nanostructured high strength metastable Al-, Mg- and Ti-based alloys containing different amorphous, quasicrystalline and nanocrystalline phases are synthesized by non-equilibrium processing techniques. Such alloys can be prepared by quenching from the melt or by powder metallurgy techniques. This paper focuses on one hand on mechanically alloyed and ball milled powders containing different volume fractions of amorphous or nano-(quasi)crystalline phases, consolidated bulk specimens and, on the other hand. on cast specimens containing different constituent phases with different length-scale. As one example. $Mg_{55}Y_{15}Cu_{30}$- based metallic glass matrix composites are produced by mechanical alloying of elemental powder mixtures containing up to 30 vol.% $Y_2O_3$ particles. The comparison with the particle-free metallic glass reveals that the nanosized second phase oxide particles do not significantly affect the glass-forming ability upon mechanical alloying despite some limited particle dissolution. A supercooled liquid region with an extension of about 50 K can be maintained in the presence of the oxides. The distinct viscosity decrease in the supercooled liquid regime allows to consolidate the powders into bulk samples by uniaxial hot pressing. The $Y_2O_3$ additions increase the mechanical strength of the composites compared to the $Mg_{55}Y_{15}Cu_{30}$ metallic glass. The second example deals with Al-Mn-Ce and Al-Cu-Fe composites with quasicrystalline particles as reinforcements, which are prepared by quenching from the melt and by powder metallurgy. $Al_{98-x}Mn_xCe_2$ (x =5,6,7) melt-spun ribbons containing a major quasicrystalline phase coexisting with an Al-matrix on a nanometer scale are pulverized by ball milling. The powders are consolidated by hot extrusion. Grain growth during consolidation causes the formation of a micrometer-scale microstructure. Mechanical alloying of $Al_{63}Cu_{25}Fe_{12}$ leads to single-phase quasicrystalline powders. which are blended with different volume fractions of pure Al-powder and hot extruded forming $Al_{100-x}$$(Al_{0.63}Cu_{0.25}Fe_{0.12})_x$ (x = 40,50,60,80) micrometer-scale composites. Compression test data reveal a high yield strength of ${\sigma}_y{\geq}$700 MPa and a ductility of ${\varepsilon}_{pl}{\geq}$5% for than the Al-Mn-Ce bulk samples. The strength level of the Al-Cu-Fe alloys is ${\sigma}_y{\leq}$550 MPa significantly lower. By the addition of different amounts of aluminum, the mechanical properties can be tuned to a wide range. Finally, a bulk metallic glass-forming Ti-Cu-Ni-Sn alloy with in situ formed composite microstructure prepared by both centrifugal and injection casting presents more than 6% plastic strain under compressive stress at room temperature. The in situ formed composite contains dendritic hcp Ti solid solution precipitates and a few $Ti_3Sn,\;{\beta}$-(Cu, Sn) grains dispersed in a glassy matrix. The composite micro- structure can avoid the development of the highly localized shear bands typical for the room temperature defor-mation of monolithic glasses. Instead, widely developed shear bands with evident protuberance are observed. resulting in significant yielding and homogeneous plastic deformation over the entire sample.

SnAg, SnAgCu, SnCu 무연솔더합금을 주조 상태에서 냉간압연한 후 열적으로 안정화한 시편 (TS)과, 실제 솔더 범프와 유사한 미세구조의 수냉에 급속 냉각(WQ)된 시편 두가지를 $100^{\circ}C$에서 크리프 실험을 행하였다. 급속냉각한 시편의 냉각속도는 140-150 K/sec로 primary $\beta-Sn$ 크기가 TS 시편보다 5∼10배 정도 작았으며, 기지내 primary $\beta-Sn$이 차지하는 분율은 증가하였다. 반면에 공정상 내의 $Ag_3Sn$상의 크기는 더 작아졌다. 크리프 실험 결과 WQ 시편의 최소크리프 변형율 속도($\{beta}_{min}$)가 TS 보다 약 $10^2$배 정도 작았으며. 더 큰 파괴시간을 보였다. TS-SnAg의 크리프파괴는 $Ag_3Sn$ 또는 $Cu_6Sn_5$에서의 공공의 핵생성, power-law 크리프에 의한 공공의 성장, 그리고 크리프 공공의 상호 연결로 일어났으며, WQ-SnAgCu는 시편이 두께가 얇아 네킹에 의해 파괴가 일어났다.

In this study, the mechanical characteristics and microstructure of hypereutectic Al-17Si-5Fe extruded alloys prepared by a rapid solidification process (RSP) were investigated. The hypereutectic Al alloy was fabricated by means of RSP and permanent casting. For RSP, the Al alloy melted at $920^{\circ}C$, cooling the specimens at a rate of $10^6^{\circ}C/s$ when the RSP was used, thus allowing the refining of primary Si particles more than when using permanent casting, at a rate of about 91%. We tested an extrusion RSP billet and a permanent-cast billet. Before the hot-extrusion process, heating to $450^{\circ}C$ took place for one hour. The samples were then hotextruded with a condition of extrusion ratio of 27 and a ram speed of 0.5 mm/s. Microstructural analyses of the extruded RSP method and the permanent casting method were carried out with OM and SEM-EDS mapping. The mechanical properties in both cases were evaluated by Vickers micro-hardness, wear resistance and tensile tests. It was found that when hypereutectic Al-17Si-5Fe alloys were fabricated by a rapid solidification method, it becomes possible to refine Si and intermetallic compounds. During the preparation of the hypereutectic Al-17Si-5Fe alloy by the rapid solidification method, the pressure of the melting crucible was low, and at faster drum speeds, smaller grain alloy flakes could be produced. Hot extrusion of the hypereutectic Al-17Si-5Fe alloy during the rapid solidification method required higher pressure levels than hot extrusion of the permanent mold-casted alloy. However, it was possible to produce an extruded material with a better surface than that of the hot extruded material processed by permanent mold casting.

The high alkaline property in the concrete pore solution protects the embedded steel in concrete from corrosion due to aggressive ions attack. However, a continuous supply of those ions, in particular, chlorides altogether with a pH fall in electrochemical reaction on the steel surface eventually depassivate the steel to corrode. To mitigate chloride-induced corrosion in concrete structures, finely grained mineral admixtures, for example, pulverized fuel ash (PFA), ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) and silica fume (SF) have been often advised to replace ordinary Portland cement (OPC) partially as binder. A consistent assessment of those partial replacements has been rarely performed with respect to the resistance of each binder to corrosion, although the studies for each binder were extensively looked into in a way of measuring the corrosion rate, influence of microstructure or chemistry of chlorides ions with cement hydrations. The paper studies the behavior of steel corrosion, chloride transport, pore structure and buffering capacity of those cementitious binders. The corrosion rate of steel in mortars of OPC, 30% PFA, 60% GGBS and 10% SF respectively, with chloride in cast ranging from 0.0 to 3.0% by weight of binder was measured at 7, 28 and 150 days to determine the chloride threshold level and the rate of corrosion propagation, using the anodic polarization technique. Mercury intrusion porosimetry was also applied to cement pastes of each binder at 7 and 28 days to ensure the development of pore structure. Finally, the release rate of bound chlorides (i.e. buffering capacity) was measured at 150 days. The chloride threshold level was determined assuming that the corrosion rate is beyond 1-2 mA/$m^3$ at corrosion and the order of the level was OPC > 10% SF > 60% GGBS > 30% PFA. Mercury intrusion porosimetry showed that 10% SF paste produced the most dense pore structure, followed by 60% GGBS, 30% PFA and OPC pastes, respectively. It was found that OPC itself is beneficial in resisting to corrosion initiation, but use of pozzolanic materials as binders shows more resistance to chloride transport into concrete, thus delay the onset of corrosion.

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 ${\gamma}$'.
