The effect of rolling on the charge-discharge property was studied for metal hydride negative electrode. $(LM)Ni_{3.6}Al_{0.4}Co_{0.7}Mn_{0.3}$(pleateau pressure : below 1 atm at room temperature, volume expansion : 9%, entalpy : $8.7kcal/molH_2$) alloy was prepared by arc melting, and then it was coated with various copper weight percent. The copper coated alloys were then rolled with the different reduction ratio. From the results, it was found that the maximum discharge capacity increased with increasing reduction ratio, and 15wt% copper coated sample shows the highest discharge capacity, 324mAh/g, after rolling with 30% reduction ratio. In view of cycle life for the negative electrode, the 15wt% copper coated electrode which was rolled with 13% reduction ratio showed the longest cycle life compared with other electrodes.

The injection concentration of corrosion inhibitor increases under the pH 7, temperature of 2$0^{\circ}C$, and alkalinity of 35 mg/l (as CaCO$_3$), the corrosion rate gradually decreased. When the corrosion inhibitor of 10 mg/l is injected, the corrosion rate for carbon steel pipe, galvanized steel pipe, and copper pipe reduces for 37, 66 and 61 % respectively that it is more efficient on galvanized steel pipe and copper pipe. As a result of examination of corrosion rate at pH 6, 7, and 8 when injecting 10 mg/l of corrosion inhibitor under the conditions of 2$0^{\circ}C$ in water temperature and 35 mg/l (as CaCO$_3$) in alkalinity, the efficiency of the corrosion inhibitor increases as the pH increases. For carbon steel pipe, it does not show much a difference with the change of the pH condition, but galvanized steel pipe and copper pipe clearly show the corrosion rate depending on the change of the pH condition. The efficiency of corrosion inhibitor is low as the concentration of residual chlorine is high, but it does not show a great influence at 0.4 mg/l or less. For each pipe type, in the case of carbon steel pipe, the range of increase of corrosion speed following the residual chloride is higher than the other pipe types. In the meantime, the effect following the residual chlorine in copper pipe is low.

This study investigates the effects of the size of copper sheets on the plastic deformation behavior in a microscale deep drawing process. Tensile tests are conducted on the copper sheets to study the flow stress of the materials with different grain sizes before carrying out the microscale deep drawing experiments. After the tensile tests, a novel desktop-sized microscale deep drawing system is used to perform the microscale deep drawing process. A series of microscale deep drawing experiments are subsequently performed, and the experimental results indicate that an increase in the grain size results in the reduction of the deformation load of the copper sheets due to the effects of the surface grain. The results also show that the blank holder gap improves both the formability of copper sheets and the material flow.

The promoting effect of Ba or Sr addition was investigated for furfural hydrogenation reaction over copper-chromium oxide catalysts. X-ray diffraction patterns showed the appearance of $BaCrO_4$ and $SrCrO_4$ phases in Ba, and Sr promoted copper-chromium oxide catalysts. For both Ba and Sr promoted catalysts, the activity decline with reaction time was much smaller compared to that of unpromoted catalyst and copper-chromium oxide catalyst dispersed on silica, reproducible EPR signals of Cr(V) were observed when CO was adsorbed. The promoting effect of Ba addition can be interpreted in terms of active sites dispersion and stabilization.

In this study, an electric resistance-heated surface friction spot-welding process was proposed and tested for the spot-welding ability of copper and aluminum dissimilar metal sheets using electric resistance heating and surface friction heating. This process has welding variables, such as the current value, energizing cycles, rotational speed, and friction time. The current value and energizing cycle can affect the resistance heat, and the rotational speed of the rotating pin and friction time influence frictional heat generation. Resistance heating before friction heating has a preheating effect on the Cu-Al contact interface and a positive effect on preventing friction heat loss during the friction stage. However, because resistance preheating can soften the copper sheet and affect the contact stress and friction coefficient, it has difficulties that may adversely affect frictional heat generation. Therefore, the optimal combination of welding variables should be determined through simulations and experiments of the spot-welding process to determine the effects of electric resistance preheating on the suggested process. Through this procedure, it is known that the proposed spot-welding process can improve the welding quality during the spot welding of Cu-Al sheets.

In order to explain the effect of alloying Cu on the corrosion resistance of stainless steels in chloride media for both ferritic and austenitic stainless steels, the corrosion behavior of Cu-bearing stainless steels was investigated. Alloying Cu showed beneficial effect in an active potential range and harmful effect in a noble potential range. The beneficial effect of alloying Cu was explained by the stability of deposited Cu on an anodic surface. Difference in the effect of alloying Cu between the ferritic and austenitic steels was ascribed by the differences in their corrosion potentials and the morphology of the deposited Cu.

The effect of copper ion on the lactate dehydrogenase isozyme patterns in the heart, liver, kidney, skeletal muscle, and ovary of catfish, Parasilurus asotus, was studied by cellulose acetate gel electrophoresis. 1. The LDH-1 and LDH-2 of heart type appeared in the heart muscle of control fish. When the fish were exposed to copper ion, however, the LDH-1, LDH-2, LDH-3, and LDH-4 appeared. The amount of LDH-1 was decreased and those of LDH-2, LDH-3, and LDH-4 were increased. 2. There was one band of LDH-4 in the liver of normal fish. But the amount of LDH-4 was decreased and additional new LDH-5 appeared by exposure to copper ion. 3. There were LDH-1, LDH-2, and LDH-4 in the kidney tissue of both control and experimental groups. The LDH-1 was increased, whereas LDH-2 and LDH-4 were decreased after exposure to copper ion. 4. There was broad band of LDH-5 in the skeletal muscle of the control fish. However, the LDH-4 and LDH-5 with M sub-band appeared by the exposure to copper ion. 5. There was LDH-3 band only in the ovary of control, wheras all five LDH isozymes appeared in the ovary of the fish exposed to copper iion. 6. During the period of exposure to copper ion, the LDH isozyme of heart type which associated with aerobic metabolism was decreased, but the LDH isozyme of muscle type of anaerobic metabolism was increased in most of heart, liver, and skeletal muscle. It seems that these organs are related to some of important functions for anaerobic metabolism during the copper poisoning period.

For the fuel saving in the fish farm, the heat transfer performances of various tubes, XL-tube, copper-tube, copper-Nikel-tube and Al-brass-tube, were compared. The XL-tube, which is most commonly used for heating water, showed the poorest heater transfer performance, while the Al-Brass tube shows the best performance. As far as average temperature difference of four tubes concerns, XL-tube is $3.34^{\circ}C$, Copper tube is $10.34^{\circ}C$, Copper-Nikel tube is $11.3^{\circ}C$, Al-Brass-tube is $12^{\circ}C$, The best heat transfer performance of Al-Brass tube results from the enhancement of heat transfer coefficient caused by fin effect and good conductivity of the material.

For the applications in the ultra-large-scale-integration (ULSI) metallization processing copper thin films have been prepared by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) technology on TiN/Si substrates. The films have been deposited with varying the experimental conditions of substrate temperatures and copper source vapor pressures. The films were then annealed in a vacuum condition after the deposition and the annealing effect to the electrical conductivity of the films was measured. The grain size and the crystallinity of the films were observed to be increased by the post annealing and the electrical conductivity was also increased. The best electrical property of the copper film was obtained by in-situ annealing treatment at above 40$0^{\circ}C$ for the sample prepared at 18$0^{\circ}C$ of the substrate temperature.
