Scandium(Sc) in Al-Zn-Mg-Cu based Al alloy on precipitation phenomenon was compared to a 7001(Al-7.2%Zn-3.2%Mg-1.8%Cu) Al alloy. GP zone and ${\eta}^{\prime}$ phases were the main strengthening phases at low aging temperature under $100^{\circ}C$, but ${\eta}^{\prime}$ and $Al_3Sc$ phases were the main strengthening phases at high aging temperature above $1600^{\circ}C$ in Sc added 7000(Al-7.7%Zn-2.0%Mg-1.9%Cu-0.1%Zr) Al alloy. With the addition of 0.1%Sc in 7000 Al alloy, the activation energy for the GP zone, ${\eta}^{\prime}$ and ${\eta}$ phase decreased compared to the 7001 Al alloy. This result indicates that the Sc accelerated the precipitation for the GP zone, ${\eta}^{\prime}$ and ${\eta}$ phases in 7000 Al alloy. Al-7.7%Zn-2.0%Mg-1.9%Cu-0.1%Zr-0.1 Sc alloy has higher strength than 7001 Al alloy, which has high strength.

In this study, the diffusion behaviors of C and Co in liquid phase sintering of WC-Co system were investigated whether these two components diffused in the same direction in case of having opposite gradient each other with not being $\eta$ phase. The green compacts with controlled compositions in not being of $\eta$ phase and gradient composition which one is WC-5Co-1.2%C, the other is WC-XCo-0.2%C (where X = 5, 10, 15, 20, 25) were sintered at $1350^{\circ}C$ and $1400^{\circ}C$ and then the diffusion behaviors of C and Co were investigated by analyses of compositional change, also determined for microstructure and microhardness. Also, same testing was carried out on the specimens with dual layers sintered in upright and reverse positions to evaluate the effect of gravity on the diffusion in liquid Co. From the results of this study, we can find the fact that the direction of diffusion for C and Co in WC-Co system during liquid phase sintering was different and the effect of gravity for the liquid was insignificant. Also other physical properties were changed on the diffusion of elements.

Microstructural evolution and creep failure behavior of GTD 111 have been studied. Solidification and precipitation behaviors of the alloy during casting have been analyzed by microstructural observations. It has been found that MC carbides solidify just before the $\gamma$/$\gamma$' eutectic solidification. The ηphase was found to be formed by transformation of Ti-rich $\gamma$'phase. PFZ has formed in the vicinity of the transformed $\eta$ phase. A few MC particles, which have been identified as TaC, precipitated within the PFZ. Creep failure along grainboundary was dominant at and above $871^{\circ}C$. Creep failure above$ 871^{\circ}C$ was caused by the propagation of surface cracks and internal cracks. Creep crack has initiated at the microporosities embedded on the grainboundary. The $\eta$phase and PFZ have been found to be little or no effect on creep crack initiation.

A study has been made to investigate the boundary sliding and its accommodation mode with respect to the variation of $\alpha$$_2$/$eta$ volume fraction during superplastic deformation of two-phase Ti$_3$Al-xNb intermetallics. Step strain rate and load relaxation tests have been performed at 950, 970 and 99$0^{\circ}C$ to obtain the flow stress curves and to analyze the deformation characteristics by the theory of inelastic deformation. The results show that the grain matrix deformation and boundary sliding of the three intermetallics containing 21, 50 and 77% in $eta$ volume fractions are well described by the plastic deformation and viscous flow equations. Due to the equal accommodation of both $a^2$ and $\beta$ phases, the accommodation modes for fine-grained materials are in good agreement with the iso-strain rate models. The sliding resistance analyzed for the different boundaries is the lowest in the $\alpha$$_2$/$\alpha$$_2$ boundary, and increases in the order of $\alpha$$_2$/$\alpha$$_2$<< $\alpha$$_2$/$\beta$ = $\beta$/$\beta$, which plays an important role in controlling the superplasticity of the alloys with the various $\alpha$$_2$/$\beta$ phase ratio.

Applied by periodic Stimulating Currents in Bonhoeffer -Van der Pol(BVP) model, chaotic and periodic phenomena occured at specific conditions. The conditions of the chaotic motion in BVP comprised 0.7182< $A_1$ <0.792 and 1.09< $A_1$ <1.302 proved by the analysis of phase plane, bifurcation diagram, and lyapunov exponent. To control the chaotic motion, two methods were suggested by the first used the amplitude parameter A1, $A1={\varepsilon}((x-x_s)-(y-y_s))$ and the second used the temperature parameterc, $c=c(1+{\eta}cos{\Omega}t)$ which the values of ${\eta},{\Omega}$ varied respectlvly, and $x_s$, $y_s$ are the periodic signal. As a result of simulating these methods, the chaotic phenomena was controlled with the periodic motion of periodisity. The feasibilities of the chaotic and the periodic phenomena were analysed by phase plane Poincare map and lyapunov exponent.

Zn-Ni alloy electrodeposition on steel has been examined by means of X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The effect of current density, $Ni^{2+}$ ion concentration, and $Cl^-$ ion concentration on the structure as well as morphology of the electrodeposit have been studied. The Ni content of the electrodeposit increased with decreasing current density in the range studied in this work. The Ni content of the electrodeposit also increased with increasing $Ni^{2+}$ ion and $Cl^-$ ion concentrations. The structure change of the electrodeposit was closely related to the Ni content. In fact, the mixture phase of ${\eta}$ and ${\gamma}$ was found below 10 wt.% of Ni while the ${\gamma}$ phase only was observed above 10 wt.% of Ni. In addition, the lattice parameter, a, of then phase structure increased and the lattice parameter, c, of it decreased as the Ni content of the electrodeposit increased. The morphology of the electrodeposit varied from the plate-like shape to the fine granular shape depending upon the change in composition and structure of the electrodeposit.

The electroplated steel sheets were heated during the short periods(10~60 seconds) at high temperature ($360^{\circ}C$～$500^{\circ}C$) in order to investigate thermal diffusion behaviors. When the steel sheets were heated for 10 seconds, all the coated layers were alloyed at $420^{\circ}C$ but at temperature lower than $400^{\circ}C$ the $\eta$ phase partially remained on the coated surface. At higher temperature, the longer the time for heat treatment the iron contents were increased in coated layer but the glossiness and whiteness of the coated surface were decreased. While the alloying phases of $\eta$, $\zeta$, $\delta_1$ and $\Gamma$ were appeared in the coated layer at the heat treatment temperature of $360^{\circ}C$, the phase was disappeared at $420^{\circ}C$ but the rests grew in size at the temperature of $440^{\circ}C$. When the heat treatment temperature and heating time were increased, the thickness of $\Gamma$ phase was rapidly increased to 0.8 $\mu\textrm{m}$. The optimum conditions for the heat treatment to prevent powdering of coated layer were obtained to heat it for 30 seconds at $400^{\circ}C$ and 10 seconds at $440^{\circ}C$, and the iron content in coated layer was suited to be 10 percents.

For the study of transport phenomena of an aqueous NaCl solution through a cuprophane membrane, a new apparatus was constructed. The volumc flow rate Q, the permeability coefficient U, and the permeability constant K were measured or determined by using this apparatus. The experimental temperature range was 5 to $35^{\circ}C$, and the applied pressure increments were 10 to 40 psi. By assuming that the cuprophane membrane is composed of n parallel cylindrical capillaries of circular cross-section and that the flow of the solution through the capillaries follows the Poiseulle law, the mean radius r of the capillaries and the number n of the latter in the membrane were evaluated. By using a reasonable assumption concerning the radius ${\eta}'$ of the species diffusing through the membrane, it was concluded that the contribution of the diffusive flow to the total flow rate Q is less than 10%. Thus, the Q was treated as the rate due to the viscous flow, and the viscosity ${\eta}_m$ of the solution in the membrane phase was evaluted, and it was found that ηm is nearly equal to ${\eta}_b$, the bulk viscosity of the solution. From this fact, it was concluded that in the capillaries, no change occurs in the physical state of the NaCl solution. The value of ( = 4.27 kcal/mole) and ${\Delta}Sm^{\neq}$(4.28 eu) were obtained for the viscous flow. A possible explanation was given.
