High speed steels with commercial compositions of 10V, Rex20, Rex25, T15, and ASP30 were gas-atomized and then consolidated by hot isostatic pressing (HIPping). The microstructures of gas-atomized powder, as-HiPped billet, and heat-treated billet have been characterized using optical microscope, scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffractometer. In the gas-atomized powders, the solidification structures of 10V and Rex25 alloys show that primary MC carbides embedded within the fine equiaxed dendrites, whereas those of Rex20, T15 and ASP30 alloys exhibited eutectic MC and/or M$_2$C carbides in the interdendritic region. The trace and dendritic morphologies of gas-atomized powder have been retained in as-HiPped billets. The microstructures of as-HiPped billets have been observed to consist of ferrite, $M_6C$ and MC carbides in other alloys with the exception of 10V alloy, which consists of ferrite and MC carbides. The hardness of heat-treated billet makes a favorable comparison with that of as-HIPped billet. This seems mainly to be due to the strengthening by the precipitation of secondary carbides and the change of matrix phase from $\alpha$-ferrite to martensite.

A numerical analysis on the microstructural evolutions of microcellular and cellular ${\alpha}-aluminum$ phase in the gas-atomized Al-8wt. pct droplets was represented. The 2-dimensional non-Newtonian heat transfer and the dendritic growth theory in the undercooled melt were combined under the assumptions of a point nucleation on droplet surface and the macroscopically smooth solid-liquid interface enveloping the cell tips. It reproduced the main characteristic features of the reported microstructures quite well. It predicted a considerable volume fraction of segregation-free region in a droplet smaller than $l0{\mu}m$ if an initial undercooling larger than 100K is given. The volume fractions of the microcellular region($g_A$) and the sum of the microcellular and cellular region($g_a$) were predicted as functions of the heat transfer coefficient, h and initial undercooling, ${\triangle}T$. It was shown that $g_A$ and $g_a$, in the typical gas-atomization processes with $h=0.1-1.0W/cm^2K$, are dominated by ${\triangle}T$ and h, respectively, but for h larger than $4.0W/cm^2K$, a fully microcellular structure can be obtained irrespective of the initial undercooling.

울산시 동구에 위치하는 방어진 지역의 화강암에는 라파키비 조직의 장석반정이 산출된다. 라파키비 조직의 알칼리 장석 부분은 분흥색을 띠고 이를 둘러싸는 사장석 부분은 하얀색을 띠기 때문에 육안으로도 라파키비 조직을 쉽게 관찰할 수가 있다. 또한 방어진 화강암에는 특징적으로 염기성 미립 포획암이 많이 포함되어 있는데 이를 포함한 5가지의 암상, (1) 염기성 미립 포획암이 거의 없는 지역에서의 화강암(EPG), (2)염기성 미립 포획암이 풍부한 지역에서의 화강암(ERG), (3) 염기성 미립 포획암(MME), (4) 염기성 미립 포획암과 화강암사이의 혼성대(HZ), (5) 혼성대와 유사하지만 독립된 형태로 나타나는 포획암(HLE)이 관찰된다. 그리고 라파키비 조직은 이 5가지 암상 모두에서 나타나며 형태와 크기는 각 암상에서 차이가 없다. 조직에 있어서도 2mm 이내의 두께로 나타나는 사장석 맨틀이 덴드리틱 조직을 보이는 점이 5개의 암상에서 모두 관찰된다. 이는 라파키비의 형성환경에 대한 중요한 지시자로서 맨틀링이 일어나던 당시가 과냉각 환경이었음을 의미한다. 한편, 화강암 내에 염기성 미립 포획암이 나타나는 것은 마그마 혼합환경이었음을 지지하고 MME내에 라파키비와 유사한 다른 광물의 맨틀링 현상이 관찰되는 것은 마그마 혼합환경이 맨틀링을 일으키기 적절한 환경이었음을 나타낸다. 또한 혼성대(HZ)에서 라파키비 반정이 풍부하며 이 반정들이 MME로 유입되는 현상이 관찰되는 점은 혼합시 물질의 이동 및 성분의 이동이 있었음 지시한다. 이러한 마그마 혼합성인은 5개의 암상내에 불균질하게 분포하는 라파키비 반정의 분포를 잘 설명해 준다. 그러므로 방어진 지역 화강암 내의 라파키비 조직은 이 지역에 일어났던 마그마 불균질 혼합작용과 이 작용에 수반된 과냉각 및 물질의 이동에 의해 형성된 결과로 판단된다.

7000계 알루미늄 합금은 다른 Al 합금에 비해 강도가 우수하여 주목을 받고있으며, 7000계 알루미늄 빌렛은 일반적으로 Direct-Chill (DC) 주조 공정을 통해 제조된다. DC 주조 공정으로 제조된 알루미늄 빌렛의 표면 결함은 주로 Exudation과 Meniscus freezing 현상과 관련이 있으며, 이는 합금 성분, 주조 속도 및 주조 온도의 영향을 받는다. 특히, 7000계 알루미늄 합금은 응고 과정에서 응고 온도 범위가 넓어 주조 결함이 발생하기 쉽다. 본 연구에서는 DC 주조 공정에 의해 제조된 Al-8Zn-2Mg-2Cu 합금 빌렛에 대한 표면 결함 변화에 대하여 조사하였다. 빌렛의 표면은 "Wavy" 또는 "Dot" 표면으로 관찰되었다. Wavy 표면은 낮은 주조 속도(200mm/min)와 온도(655℃)에서 Meniscus freezing 현상에 의해 형성되었으며, Concave 영역에서 Meniscus freezing 현상으로 인한 조성작 과냉으로 인해 미세한 수지상 조직이 관찰되었다. 반면에, 주조 온도가 높은 조건(675℃)에서는 Dot 표면이 기공 형성에 의해 형성되었으며, 높은 주조 속도(230mm/min)에서 제조된 Dot 표면을 갖는 빌렛에서는 높은 금속 수두압에 의해 Exudation 층이 형성되었다. Exudation 층의 Dot 영역과 Smooth 영역은 각각 미세한 수지상 형태와 주상정 형태의 조직이 관찰되었으며 이는 Dot 영역에서 가스 기공의 형성에 의한 결과이다.

The effects of Fe and Si additions on the microstructures and mechanical properties of aluminum bronze have been investigated. In a bar-type specimen cast in a die mold, the addition of Fe promoted the dendritic solidification of the ${\alpha}$ phase. The hardness values increased slightly in the Fe-added specimen with heat treatment, while these values was increased significantly in the specimens with Si or with combined additions of Fe and Si. When a centrifugal casting bush with combined addition of Fe and Si was heat treated, the FeSi compound within the matrix was finely dispersed, and was observed to be the origin of cup-cone type conical dimple failure in the tensile fracture surface. The mechanical properties of the heat treated centrifugal casting bushes, whose nominal alloy compositions were (Cu-7.0Al-0.8Fe-3.0Si)wt%, exhibited tensile strength of $703-781N/mm^2$, elongation of 6.6-11.7% and hardness of Hv 222.6-249.2. These high values of strength and elongation were attributed to the strengthening of the matrix due to the combined addition of Fe and Si, and to precipitation of fine the FeSi compound.

The effect of welding condition on microstructure and mechanical property of Plasma-MIG Hybrid Weld between Al 5083 plates(thickness : 10mm) was investigated. 1 pass weld without any defects such as puckering, undercut, and lack of fusion was obtained by 150~200A of plasma current and 5~7mm of welding speed. Gas porosities and shrinkage porosities were existed in the weld near fusion line. As welding speed and plasma current were decreasing, the area fraction of porosity was increasing. The hardness of the weld is increasing as welding speed. On the basis of microstructural analysis, Mg segregated region near dendrite boundaries tends to increase with the welding speed. In the result of hardness test, Distribution of hardness in fusion zone showed little change with the plasma current. However, when the welding speed increased, hardness in weld metal markdly increased. It could be considered that effect of heat input to growth of the dendritic solidification structures. Based on tensile test, tensile properties of weld metal was predominated by area fraction of porosities. Consequently, tensile properties can be controlled by formation site and area fraction of porosity.

Aluminum alloy(AC8A) matrix composites reinforced with SiC particles(10% in vol.) were fabricated by Centrifugal Spray Deposition(CSD) process. The microstructures were investigated in order to evaluate both the mixing mode between aluminum matrix and SiC particles, and the effect of SiC particles on the cooling behaviours of droplets during flight and preforms deposited. A non-continuum mathematical calculation was performed to explain and to quantify the evolution of microstructures in the droplets and preforms deposited. Conclusions obtained are as follows; 1. The powders produced by CSD process showed, in general, ligament type, and more than 60% of the powders produced were about 300 to 850 um in size. 2. AC8A droplets solidified during flight showed fine dendritic structure, but AC8A droplets mixed with SiC particles showed fine equiaxed grain structure, and eutectic silicon were formed to crystallize granularly between fine aluminum grains. 3. SiC particles seem to act as a nucleation sites for pro-eutectic silicon during solidification of AC8A alloy. 4. The microstructure of composite powders formed by CSD process showed particle embedded type, and resulted in dispersed type microstructure in preforms deposited. 5. The pro-eutectic silicon crystallized granularly between fine aluminum grains seem to prohibit grains from growth during spray deposition process. 6. The interfacial reactions between aluminum matrix and SiC particles were not observed from the deposit performs and the solidified droplets. 7. The continuum model seem to be useful in connecting the processing parameters with the resultant microstructures. From these results, it was concluded that the fabrication of aluminum matrix composites reinforced homogeneously with SiC particles was possible.

The metal-manufacturing method and smelting temperature of ancient metal-production processes have been studied by analyzing the principal elements and microstructures of slag. However, the microstructure of slag varies according to the solidification cooling rate and types and relative amounts of various oxides contained within the smelting materials. Hence, there is a need for accurate analysis methods that allow slag to be distinguished by more than its composition or microstructure. In this study, the microstructures of slag discharged as a result of smelting iron sands collected from Pohang and Gyeongju, as well as the slag excavated from the Ungyo site in Wanju, were analyzed by using metalloscopy, scanning election microscopy-energy dispersine X-ray spectroscopy(SEM-EDS) and wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorenscence(WD-XRF). Furthermore, the microcrystals were accurately characterized by performing Raman micro-spectroscopy, which is a technique that can be used to identify the microcrystals of slags. SEM-EDS analysis of Pohang slag indicated that its white polygonal crystals could be Magnetite; however, Raman micro-spectroscopy revealed that these crystals were actually $ulv{\ddot{o}}spinel$. Raman micro-spectroscopy and SEM-EDS were also used to verify that the coarse white dendritic structures observed in the Gyeongju-slag were $W{\ddot{u}}stites$. Additionally, the Wanju slag was observed to have a glassy matrix, which was confirmed by Raman micro-spectroscopy to be Augite. Thus, we have demonstrated that Raman micro-spectroscopy can accurately identify slag microcrystals, which are otherwise difficult to distinguish as solely based on their chemical composition and crystal morphology. Therefore, we conclude that it has excellent potential as a slag analysis technique.

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.
