Microstructural properties of as-grown and annealed CoCrFeMnNi high entropy alloy (HEA) oxynitride thin films were investigated. The CoCrFeMnNi HEA oxynitride thin film was grown by magnetron sputtering method using an air gas, and annealed under the argon plus air flow for 5 h at $800^{\circ}C$. The as-grown film was homogeneous and uniform composed of nanometer-sized crystalline regions mixed with amorphous-like phase. The crystalline phase in the as-grown film was face centered cubic structure with the lattice constant of 0.4242 nm. Significant microstructural changes were observed after the annealing process. First, it was fully recrystallized and grain growth happened. Second, Ni-rich region was observed in nanometer-scale range. Third, phase change happened and it was determined to be $Fe_3O_4$ spinel structure with the lattice constant of 0.8326 nm. Hardness and Young's modulus of the as-grown film were 4.1 and 150.5 GPa, while those were 9.4 and 156.4 GPa for the annealed film, respectively.

Thermodynamics of carbon in manganese alloy melts is important in manufacturing low carbon ferromanganese and silico-manganese alloys. In order to predict the carbon solubility in liquid $Mn-Si-Fe-C_{sat}$ alloys as a function of melt composition and temperature, thermodynamic interactions among carbon, silicon and iron in carbon saturated liquid manganese should be known. In the present study, the effects of silicon and iron on the carbon solubility in Mn-Si, Mn-Fe and Mn-Si-Fe melts were measured in the temperature range from 1673 to 1773 K. The carbon solubility decreases significantly as silicon and iron contents increase in liquid manganese alloy. The interaction parameters among carbon, silicon and iron in carbon saturated liquid manganese were determined from the carbon solubility data and the Lupis' relation for the interaction coefficient at constant activity.

This work investigated edge-cracking behavior of equiatomic CoCrFeMnNi high-entropy alloy during hot rolling at rolling temperatures $500{\leq}T_R{\leq}1000^{\circ}C$. Edge cracks did not form in the material rolled at $500^{\circ}C$, but widened and deepened into the inside of plate as $T_R$ increased from $500^{\circ}C$. Edge cracks were most severe in the material rolled at $1000^{\circ}C$. Mn-Cr-O type non-metallic inclusion and oxidation were identified as major factors that caused edge cracking. The inclusions near edge region acted as preferential sites for crack formation. Connection between inclusion cracks and surface cracks induced edge cracking. Rolling at $T_R{\geq}600^{\circ}C$ generated distinct inclusion cracks whereas they were not serious at $T_R=500^{\circ}C$, so noticeable edge cracks formed at $T_R{\geq}600^{\circ}C$. At $T_R=1000^{\circ}C$, significant oxidation occurred at the crack surface. This accelerated edge crack penetration by embrittling the crack tip, so severe edge cracking occurred at $T_R=1000^{\circ}C$.

본 연구에서는 $360^{\circ}C$ 물 및 $360^{\circ}C$, 70ppm LiOH 수용액 분위기의 static autoclave를 이용하여 새롭게 개발한 Zr 신합금 (Zr-0.4Nb-0.8Sn-xFeCrMn, Zr-0.2Nb-1.1Sn-xFeCrMn, Zr-1.0Nb-xFeCu) 의 부식 특성을 평가하였다. 합금의 미세구조를 광학현미경과 TEM을 이용하여 관찰하였고, 부식시험 중에 생성된 산화막은 SEM과 XRD를 이용하여 단면 및 결정구조를 조사하였다. 부식시험 결과, 3종의 합금 모두 $360^{\circ}C$ 물 분위기보다 $360^{\circ}C$, 70ppm LiOH 수용액 분위기에서의 부식저항성이 감소하였으며 특히, High Nb 합금의 경우 급격한 가속 부식현상을 나타내었다. 합금원소 첨가량과 관련하여 Nb의 함량을 고용도 이내로 줄이고 Sn을 적절히 첨가한 조성의 합금이 Sn을 첨가하지 않고 고용도 이상의 Nb을 가진 합금보다 우수한 부식저항성을 나타내었다. 또한 최종열처리가 부식에 미치는 영향의 경우에, 완전재결정 조직의 합금이 부분재결정 조직을 가진 합금보다 부식저항성이 감소되었는데 이는 기지조직에서 석출하늘 제 2상의 크기 및 분포에 의한 영향으로 사료된다.

Austenite(${\gamma}$) grain size, ${\varepsilon}$ martensite volume fraction and damping capacity of Fe-17%Mn alloy have been investigated as a function of solution treatment temperature of $600^{\circ}C$ to $1100^{\circ}C$. With increasing the solution temperature, ${\gamma}$ grain size, ${\varepsilon}$ martensite content and damping capacity are increased, while the hardness is decreased. When ${\gamma}$ grains are small, ${\varepsilon}$ plates grow in only one direction in each ${\gamma}$ grain. However, if the ${\gamma}$ grains are large in accordance with high solution treating temperature, several ${\varepsilon}$ variants with different orientations are formed and intersected each other in each ${\gamma}$ grain. In spite of small ${\varepsilon}$ martensite content, the damping capacity of the specimen which was annealed at $700^{\circ}C$, followed by subzero treatment at $-196^{\circ}C$, is almost equal to that of the specimen annealed at $1000^{\circ}C$ and subsequently quenched to room temperature. From this result it is suggested that the damping capacity of Fe-17%Mn alloy having fine ${\gamma}$ grains is mainly attributed to the movement of ${\gamma}/{\varepsilon}$ interface without the operation of other damping sources such as ${\varepsilon}/{\varepsilon}$ boundaries and stacking faults in ${\varepsilon}$ reported previously.

The effect of annealing temperature on the permeability and giant magneto-impedance (GMI) behaviors of $Fe_{68.5}Mn_{5}Si_{13.5}B_9Nb_3Cu_1$ amorphous alloy has been systematically investigated. The nanocrystalline $Fe_{68.5}Mn_{5}Si_{13.5}B_9Nb_3Cu_1$ alloys consisting of ultra-fine $(Fe,Mn)_3Si$ grains embedded in an amorphous matrix were obtained by annealing their precursor alloy at the temperature range from $500^{\circ}C\;to\;600^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour in vacuum. The permeability and GMI profiles were measured as a function of external magnetic field. It was found that the increase of both the permeability and the GMI effect with increasing annealing temperature up to $535^{\circ}C$ was observed and ascribed to the ultrasoft magnetic properties in the sample, whereas an opposite tendency was found when annealed at $600^{\circ}C$ which is due to the microstructural changes caused by high-temperature annealing. The study of temperature dependence on the permeability and GMI effect showed some insights into the nature of the magnetic exchange coupling between nanocrystallized grains through the amorphous boundaries in nanocrystalline magnetic materials.

Effect of thermal cycling on shape memory effect and stabilization of austenite was investigated in Fe-21%Mn alloy. The thermal cyclic treatment was carried out with two types, room temperature${\leftrightarrow}215^{\circ}C$ and room temperature${\leftrightarrow}260^{\circ}C$. In case of the room temperature${\leftrightarrow}215^{\circ}C$, the SME was rapidly increased up to 3 cycles and maintained nearly constant value regardless of further cycles. In case of the room temperature${\leftrightarrow}260^{\circ}C$, however, the SME was increased with increasing the thermal cycle up to 5 cycles and decreased gradually with further cycle. The variation of the ${\varepsilon}$ martensite volume pet with the thermal cycle was in good agreement with the variation of the SME. Therefore, the change of the SME due to the cyclic treatment was explained with the change of the ${\varepsilon}$ martensite content. As the thermal cycle was increased, the $M_s$ temperature was decreased, and the $A_s$ and $A_f$ temperatures were increased, respectively.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of thermo-mechanical treatment on the tensile properties of Fe-20Mn-12Cr-3Ni-3Si alloy with deformation induced martensite transformation. ${\alpha}^{\prime}$ and ${\varepsilon}$-martensite, dislocation, stacking fault were formed, and grain size was refined by thermo-mechanical treatment. With the increasing cycle number of thermo-mechanical treatment, volume fraction of ${\varepsilon}$ and ${\alpha}^{\prime}$-martensite, dislocation, stacking fault were increased, and grain size decreased. In 5-cycle number thermo-mechanical treated specimens, more than 10% of the volume fraction of ${\varepsilon}$-martensite and less than 3% of the volume fraction of ${\alpha}^{\prime}$-martensite were attained. Tensile strength was increased and elongation was decreased with the increasing cycle number of thermo-mechanical treatment. Tensile properties of thermo-mechanical treated alloy with deformation induced martensite transformation was affected to formation of martensite by thermo-mechanical treatment, but was large affected to increasing of dislocation and grain refining.

In order to investigate the core material for over-head transmission line with non-magnetic and high strength nitrogen steel, microstructure and several basic properties of Fe-Mn-Cr-Ni-N steel have been studied. It is necessary that core material have a $\gamma$ phase to have a non-magnetic characteristics. To acquire a $\gamma$ phase, Mn, Ni and C are added as a alloying element. It was found that Fe-25Mn-16Cr-1Ni-N alloy have a stable $\gamma$ phase. The precipitate from this alloy system was $(Cr, Fe)_7C_3$. High Mn and N steel satisfies Sievert's relation that solubility of nitrogen increases with the square root of partial pressure of gas in metal-gas system and the hardness have proportional relation with nitrogen concentration.
