This investigation was focused on the low temperature tensile properties, phase change, changes in nitrogen content and corrosion resistance in the 22Cr-5Ni-3Mo duplex stainless steel after high temperature gas nitriding and solution annealing (HTGN-SA). From the HTGN-SA treatment, the duplex (ferrite + austenite) phase changed into austenite single phase. The nitrogen content of austenite single-phase steel showed a value of ~0.54%. For the HTGN-SA treated austenitic steel, tensile strength increased with lowering test temperature, on the other hand elongation showed the maximum value of 28.2% at $-100^{\circ}C$. The strain-induced martensitic transformation gave rise to lead the maximum elongation. After HTGN-SA treatment, corrosion resistance of the austenite single-phase steel increased remarkably compared with HTGN- treated steel.

pH- and temperature-sensitive bifunctional hydrogels composed of N-isopropylacrylamide (NiPAAm) and a sulfadimethoxine monomer (SDM) derived from sulfadimethoxine were prepared. These hydrogels exhibit simultaneous pH- and temperature-induced volume-phase transitions. The pH-induced volume-phase transition behavior is produced by the ionization/deionization of SDM and is very sharp. In the high pH region, the ionization of SDM induces swelling of the hydrogels. In the low pH region, the deionization of SDM induces deswelling of the hydrogels. The temperature-induced volume-phase transition behavior of the bifunctional hydrogels exhibits negative thermosensitivity because of the NiPAAm component. The hydrogels swell even at low pH as the temperature decreases. The hydrogels swell at low temperature and high pH, and deswell at high temperature and low pH. The volume of the hydrogels dependl on the balance of the swelling and deswelling produced by the two competing stimuli, pH and temperature.

Formation of an icosahedral phase in the bulk glass forming $Ti_{40}Zr_{29}Be_{14}Cu_9Ni_8$ alloy during crystallization from amorphous phase and solidification from melt is investigated. The icosahedral phase with a size of 10 to 15 nm forms as a thermodynamically stable phase at intermediate temperature during the transformation from amorphous to crystalline phases such as Laves and ${\beta}$-(Ti-Zr) phases, indicating that the existence of the icosahedral cluster in the undercooled liquid. On the other hand, the icosahedral phase forms as a primary solidification phase even though the Laves phase is stable at high temperature, which is can be explained based on the high nucleation rate of icosahedral phase relative to that of competing crystalline Laves phase due to lower interfacial energy between icosahedral and liquid phases.

In the present study, the effects of various heat treatments on the microstructure and mechanical properties of dual phase ODS steels were investigated to enhance the high strength at elevated temperature. Dual phase ODS steels have been designed by the control of ferrite and austenite formers, i.e., Cr, W and Ni, C in Fe-based alloys. The ODS steels were fabricated by mechanical alloying and a hot isostatic pressing process. Heat treatments, including hot rolling-tempering and normalizing-tempering with air- and furnace-cooling, were carefully carried out. It was revealed that the grain size and oxide distributions of the ODS steels can be changed by heat treatment, which significantly affected the strengths at elevated temperature. Therefore, the high temperature strength of dual phase ODS steel can be enhanced by a proper heat treatment process with a good combination of ferrite grains, nano-oxide particles, and grain boundary sliding.

The sliding wear behavior of the plasma sprayed zirconia containing 8wt% yttria was investigated over a range of room temperature to 800℃. Both of the friction coefficient and the wear loss increased reaching its maximum at about to 499℃. and then decreased again with increasing temperature up to 800℃. The worn surface at elevated temperature were observed and analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffractometer to study the mechanisms of high temperature wear behavior. Surface morphology of the worn samples changes with temperature. Monoclinic (m)/tetragonal (t) x-ray peak intensity ratio of wear debris and worn surface decreased with increasing temperature. Non-transformable tetragonal (t') to metastable tetragonal (t) phase transformation of worn surface increased with increasing temperature. The results indicate that dehumidification and above phase changes are contributing to the high temperature wear behavior of the plasma sprayed ZrO2-Y2O3 coatings.

Co-22 %Cr alloy films are promising for high-density perpendicular magnetic recording media with their perpendicular anisotropy and large coercivity of 3000 Oe. We observed that a self organized nano structure (SONS) of fine ferromagnetic Co-enriched phase and paramagnetic Cr-enriched phase appears inside the grain of Co-Cr magnetic alloy thin films at the elevated substrate temperature after do-sputtering. The periodic fine Co-enriched phase and Cr-enriched phase is the plate shape of 80 (equation omitted)-wide and 1000 (equation omitted)-long. Cr-enriched phases are located at the center of grains. We prepared 5000 (equation omitted) -thick Co-22 %Cr films on polyimide substrate with varying substrate temperature of $ 30^{\circ}C$, $ 150^{\circ}C$ ,200 $^{\circ}C$, $300^{\circ}C$, and $400^{\circ}C$, respectively. A transmission electron microscope equipped with energy dispersive X-ray analyzer is employed to observe the microstructure of each samples after Co-enri-ched phase are etched selectively. The self organized nano structure of Co-enriched and Cr-enriched lamellar is observed above the substrate temperture of $150^{\circ}C$. No compositional change is observed with substrate temperature. The compositional phase separation in self organized structure becomes clear as the substrate temperature increases. Our results implies that the self organized nano structure in Co-22 %Cr film is ideal for ultra high density recording media by recording selectively on Co-enri-ohed phase.

The current understanding for phase/grain boundary sliding and low-temperature/high-strain rate superplasticity of two-phase titanium alloys is summarized. The quantitative analysis on boundary sliding revealed increased sliding resistance on the order of $\alpha/\beta\;\ll\;\alpha/\alpha\;\approx\;\beta/\beta$ boundary, hence, led to the conclusion that approximately 50% alpha(or beta) volume fraction and/or grain refinement is beneficial for obtaining large superplastic elongation at low temperature and/or high strain rate. To predict the temperature for 50% alpha volume in various alpha/beta Ti, artificial neural network was applied. Finally, much enhanced superplasticity was achieved through grain refinement utilizing dynamic globularization.

Ni(Fe)Al powders containing a homogeneous distribution of the in-situ formed AIN and $Al_2O_3$ dispersoids have been produced by mechanical alloying process in a controlled atmosphere using high energy attrition mill. The powders have been successfully consolidated by hot extrusion process. The phase information investigated by TEM and XRD analysis reveals that Fe can be soluble up to 20% to the NiAl phase ($\beta$) at room temperature after MA process. Subsequent thermomechanical treatment under specific condition has been tried to induce secondary recrystallization (SRx) to improve high temperature properties, however, the clear evidence of SRx was not obtained in this material. Mechanical properties in term of strength at room temperature as well as at high temperatures have been improved by the addition pf AIN, and the room temperature ductility has been shown to be improved after heat treatment, presumably due to the precipitation of second phase of $\alpha$ in this material.

고온-고압 상태에서 티탄철석 ($FeTiO_3$)의 상변이에 대한 연구가 있었으나, 그 결과는 서로 일치하지 않고 있다. 특히, 티탄철석상과 페롭스카이트상의 상변이 경계는 담금방법에 의해 결정된 것으로 신뢰도에 의문이 제기되고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해, 고온-고압 현장상태에서 라지 볼륨 기기와 방사광을 이용하여 19 GPa와 $700^{\circ}C$의 범위에서 X선 회절실험을 시행하였다. 이러한 실험결과, 페롭스카이트상은 상온에서 16 CPa 이상의 압력에서 안정하며, 15 CPa 근처에서 $LiNbO_3$상으로 변이한다. 또한 이 두 고온-고압상은 $500^{\circ}C$에서는 순간적인 상변이를 하고 있다. $LiNbO_3$상은 각각 13 CPa 및 300'E와 10.8 GPa 및 400'E에서 티탄철석상으로 상변이 한다. 따라서 본 실험결과는 $LiNbO_3$상은 고온-고압하에서 안정 영역을 확보하고 있으며, 페롭스카이트-티탄철석상경계는 이전에 발표된 결과와는 매우 다르다는 것을 지시해주고 있다.

In bio applications, high temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) at $30^{\circ}C{\sim}40^{\circ}C$ is especially important for a temperature sensor. In this work, single phase-vanadium dioxide ($VO_2$) thin films for temperature sensor were fabricated by reactive DC magnetron sputtering and post-annealing method. VOx thin films deposited by reactive sputtering in a controlled $Ar/O_2$ atmosphere can be transformed into single phase-$VO_2$ films by post-annealing in $N_2$ atmosphere. The grown $VO_2$ thin films have a moderate resistance at room temperature and very high TCR at room temperature and transition temperature, respectively 2.88%/K and 15.8%/K. A detailed structural characterization is performed by SEM, XRD and RBS. SEM morphology image indicates that grains of fabricated $VO_2$films are homogeneous and ball-like in shape. A fact that the films contain only single phase-$VO_2$ is obtained by XRD and RBS analysis. After deposition, the sensors were fabricated by micromachining technology. Silicon nitride membrane and black nickel were used for a thermal isolation structure and absorption layer. In the vicinity of room temperature, the TCR of sensors was enough high to apply for bio sensors.
