The potential use of Cu-based shape memory alloys (SMA) in retrofitting historical monuments is investigated in this paper. This study is part of the ongoing work conducted in Tunisia within the framework of the FP6 European Union project (WIND-CHIME) on the use of appropriate modern seismic protective systems in the conservation of Mediterranean historical buildings in earthquake-prone areas. The present investigation consists of a finite element simulation, as a preliminary to an experimental study where a cantilever masonry wall, representing a part of a historical monument, is subjected to monotonic and quasi-static cyclic loadings around a horizontal axis at the base level. The wall was retrofitted with an array of copper SMA wires with different cross-sectional areas. A new model is proposed for heat-treated copper SMAs and is validated based on published experimental results. A series of nonlinear finite element analyses are then performed on the wall for the purpose of assessing the SMA device retrofitting capabilities. Simulation results show an improvement of the wall response for the case of monotonic and quasi-static cyclic loadings.

Two Au-Ag-Cu-Pd dental casting alloys (Au:12% and 20%) used. The test solutions used 0.9 % NaCl solution (isotonic sodium chloride solution), 0.9 % NaCl solution containing 1 % lactic acid, and 0.9 % NaCl solution containing 1 % lactic acid and 0.1 mol $dm^{-3}$ $Na_2S$. The surface of two samples in three sample solutions was not natural discoloration during one year. The alloy containing 12 % gold was easily alloyed and the composition was uniform comparing with the alloy containing 20 % gold. The rest potentials have not a little effect after three months. The kinds of metals could not definitely from the oxidation and reduction waves of metal on the cyclic voltammograms. The dissolutions of gold and palladium were 12 % Au sample in the 0.9 % NaCl solution containing 1 % lactic acid and 0.1 mol $dm^{-3}$ $Na_{2}S$. The pH of solution had an affect on dissolution of copper, and sulfur ion had an affect on dissolution of silver. The copper dissolved amount from 20 % gold sample was about 26 times comparing with that of 12 % gold sample in the 0.9 % solution containing 1 % lactic acid. Corrosion products were silver chloride and copper chloride in NaCl solution, and silver sulfide and copper sulfide in NaCl solution containing $Na_{2}S$.

Copper alloys are commonly applied to ship's propellers, pumps and valves which are serviced in seawater due to their good castability and corrosion resistance. In the environment of high flow velocity, however, erosion damage predominates over corrosion damage. In particular, the cavitation in seawater environment accelerates surface damage to copper alloys, resulting in degradation of products and economic losses and also threatening safety. The surface was coated with WC-27NiCr by high velocity oxygen fuel(HVOF) spraying technique to attain durability and cavitation resistance of copper alloys under high velocity/pressure flow. The cavitation test was performed for the WC-27NiCr coating deposited by HVOF in seawater at the amplitude of $30{\mu}m$ with seawater temperature. The cavitation at $15^{\circ}C$ caused exfoliation of the coating layer in 17.5 hours while that of $25^{\circ}C$ caused the exfoliation in 12.5 hours. When the temperature of seawater was elevated to $25^{\circ}C$ from $15^{\circ}C$, more damage was induced by over 160%. Although WC-27NiCr has good durability, corrosion resistance and eletrochemical stability, the cavitation damage rate of the coating layer could remarkably increase at the elevated temperatures under cavitation environments.

The effects of Mg and Cu amounts on the casting characteristics and tensile property of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys were investigated for the development of high strength aluminium alloys for gravity mold casting. Increase of copper amounts in Al-6%Zn-3%Mgy% Cu alloys resulted in reduction of the fluidity of these alloys and had little effects on the tensile property of these alloys. Increase of magnesium amounts from 1.0wt% to 3.3wt% in Al-6%Zn-x%Mg-0.5%Cu alloys resulted in reduction of the elongation of these alloys from 12% to 3% and increase of the tensile strength of these alloys from 340MPa to 450MPa, but had little effects on the fluidity of these alloys.

백동(白銅)은 구리에 다른 금속을 섞어 녹여 만든 합금으로, 현재 구리와 니켈의 합금으로 정의되고 있다. 그러나 학자들의 연구 대상과 시기에 따라 백동은 구리에 일정 비율 이상의 주석을 더한 금속으로 정의되기도 하고, 구리에 주석과 아연과 납을 합금한 것으로 말하기도 한다. 이렇듯 백동은 그 정의에 차이가 있어 용어의 해석과 표기에 혼란이 있어 왔다. 본 연구는 문헌 기록을 토대로 시론적으로나마 백동의 구성 재료를 정리하고 그 흐름을 살피는 데 목적을 두었다. 이를 위해 먼저 백동 합금의 바탕 재료가 되는 구리의 이용과 구리 합금의 종류를 개괄적으로 살펴보고, 문헌의 백동 기록을 통해 그 사용과 인식을 정리해 보았다. 삼국시대 문헌에서부터 등장하기 시작하는 백동은 고려와 조선시대를 거쳐 근대기까지 꾸준히 보이는데 관직의 상징물부터 교역품, 생활기물, 화폐에 이르기까지 각 시대와 문화에 따라 다양하게 쓰였다. 문헌 기록을 살펴보면 백동의 합금 재료는 현재 합금의 재료로 정의되고 있는 구리와 니켈뿐이 아닌데, 시대에 따라 조금씩 차이가 있으나 구리를 합금의 바탕 금속으로 이용한다는 점은 동일하다. 구리 외의 합금 재료로는 주석, 비석 및 비상, 아연, 납 등이 등장하며, 그 과정에서 합금을 의미하는 백동과, 백색의 금속을 의미하는 백동이 혼용되었음을 알 수 있었다. 현재 정의되고 있는 백동의 합금 재료인 니켈은 비교적 발견 시기가 정확한 금속으로 현대 공업과 산업 분야의 소재로 폭넓게 쓰이고 있다. 니켈이 우리나라에 도입된 시기는 조선 말기에서 근대기로 추정되고 있으나 그 이용과 사용에 대해서는 구체적으로 알려진 바가 없다. 이에 본 연구에서는 근대기 신문기사와 통계자료를 바탕으로 니켈의 수용과 그 이용을 함께 살피고, 장인들의 증험을 토대로 니켈을 이용한 백동 합금이 공예품에 사용된 시기를 추정해 보았다. 재료는 기술의 발전과 퇴보에 직접적인 요인이 되며, 기술의 발달은 문명과 문화를 변화시키는 토대가 된다. 이러한 맥락에서 본 연구는 시론적으로나마 합금의 재료를 중심으로 백동을 살펴보고자 하였으며 니켈이라는 재료의 이용에 대해 고찰해 보았다.

Although indium (In) is not an abundant element, the use of indium is expected to grow, especially as applied to copper-indium-(gallium)-selenide (CI(G)S) solar cells. In future when CIGS solar cells will be used extensively, the available amount of indium could be a limiting factor, unless a synthetic technique of efficiently utilizing the element is developed. Current vacuum techniques inherently produce a significant loss of In during the synthetic process, while electrodeposition exploits nearly 100% of the In, with little loss of the material. Thus, an electrochemical process will be the method of choice to produce alloys of In once the proper conditions are designed. In this review, we examine the electrochemical processes of electrodeposition in the synthesis of indium alloys. We focus on the conditions under which alloys are electrodeposited and on the factors that can affect the composition or properties of alloys. The knowledge is to facilitate the development of electrochemical means of efficiently using this relatively rare element to synthesize valuable materials, for applications such as solar cells and light-emitting devices.

This study looked at high performance copper-based alloys as LED lead frame materials with higher electrical-conductivity and the maintenance of superior tensile strength. This study investigated the effects on the tensile strength, electrical conductivity, thermal softening, size and distribution of the precipitation phases when Cr was added in Cu-Fe alloy in order to satisfy characteristics for LED Lead Frame material. Strips of the alloys were produced by casting and then properly treated to achieve a thickness of 0.25 mm by hot-rolling, scalping, and cold-rolling; mechanical properties such as tensile strength, hardness and electrical-conductivity were determined and compared. To determine precipitates in alloy that affect hardness and electrical-conductivity, electron microscope testing was also performed. Cr showed the effect of precipitation hardened with a $Cr_3Si$ precipitation phase. As a result of this experiment, appropriate aging temperature and time have been determined and we have developed a copper-based alloy with high tensile strength and electrical-conductivity. This alloy has the possibility for use as a substitution material for the LED Lead Frame of Cu alloy.
