We propose a new concept of hydrogen absorbing alloy, "Laves phase related BCC solid solution". It was firstly found among the phases tormed in multicomponent nominal $AB_2$ alloys which consisted of Zr and Ti for the A metal site and 5A, 6A and 7A transition metals for the B metal sites. In these alloys a BCC solid solution often coexisted with a Laves phase. It showed stability of hydrides and reaction kinetics almost identical to intermetallics such as Laves phase alloys. We prepared an almost pure "Laves phase related BCC solid solution" and found that it had a large hydrogen capacity (more than 2 mass%) and fast hydrogen absorption and desorption kinetics at ambient temperature and pressure. This new hydrogen absorbing alloy may open a new era of hydrogen related application such as hydrogen vehicles.

Microstructural control to produce multiphase structure has received much attention to improve the high temperature strength as well as low temperature ductility of intermetallics. Transmission electron microscopic investigation has been carried out concerning the effect of Cr-precipitation on the mechanical properties of B2-ordered NiAl containing 4 to 8 mol% of Cr. By aging at temperatures around 973 K after solution annealing, fine spherical precipitates took place homogeneously in the NiAl matrix and the alloys hardened appreciably. Selected area electron diffraction (SAED) patterns have not revealed any additional extra-spots during aging, because the Cr-particles show cube-cube orientation relationship and keep a perfect coherency with the ordered matrix lattice. Dislocations were confirmed to bypass the particles during deformation. Although the dispersion of Cr-particles increased the yield strength of NiAl at intermediate temperature, the strength decreased appreciably at higher temperatures.

It is well known that Fe3Al intermetallic compound shows an anomalous peak of the yield strength at about 50$0^{\circ}C$ and then decrease at higher temperatures The dislocation structure was examined by transmission electron microscopy and high temperatures. The dislocation structure was examined by transmission electron microscopy and high temperature mechanical properties were examined by tensile and load relaxation tests. The flow stress curves obtained from load relaxation tests were then analyzed in terms of internal variable deformation theory. it was found that the flow curves consisted of three micro-deformation mechanisms -i. e inelastic deformation mode plastic deformation mode and dislocation creep deformation mode depending on both dislocation structure and deformation temperature. The flow curves could be well described by the constitutive equations of these three micro-deformation mechanisms based on the internal variable deformation theory.

Reactions between 48Sn-52In solder and under bump metallurgies(UBM) such as 100nm $Ti/8{\mu}m$ Cu and 300nm Al/400nm Ni(V)/400nm Cu have been investigated, and the shear strength of 48Sn-52In solder bumps on each UBM has been evaluated. While intermetallic compounds with two different morphologies were continuously thickened on Ti/Cu with repeating the reflow process, the intermetallics on Al/Ni(V)/Cu spalled into the solder with increasing the number of reflow times. The solder bumps on Ti/Cu exhibited higher shear strength than those on Al/Ni(V)/Cu.

본 논문은 레오캐스팅용 AZ91 합금 슬러리를 제조하는 새로운 방법에 관한 것이다. 그 원리는 AZ91 합금 액상에서 Mn의 용해도차에 의해 생성되는 $Al_8(Mn,Fe)_5$ 정출물을 ${\alpha}-Mg$ 초정 생성을 위한 불균일 핵생성 자리로 사용하고자 하는 것이다. 제조된 슬러리의 미세조직 분석결과 $Al_8(Mn,Fe)_5$ 정출물이 ${\alpha}-Mg$ 내에 위치하고 있어, 이로부터 정출물이 효과적으로 불균일 핵생성 자리로 작용하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 Mn 함량의 증가는 $Al_8(Mn,Fe)_5$ 정출물 수를 증가시켜 고상분율이 일정할 때 슬러리 내 ${\alpha}-Mg$ 고상의 크기를 감소시키고 구형도를 향상시킨다. 이외에도 냉각속도 및 유지시간이 슬러리 미세조직에 미치는 영향에 대해서도 보고하였다.

The possibility of Cu-Al-Ni intermetallic coating on the mild steel through the combustion synthesis has been investigated. In particular, the effect of the ball milling energy on the microstructure of the coating layer was examined to obtain the best coating condition. Experimental results show that Cu-Al-Ni powder compact was explosively synthesized and successfully coated with the steel matrix. It was revealed that the formation of $Cu_9Al_4$ intermetallic decreased with increase in the ball milling energy. This result supports that the high energy ball milling would be effective for obtaining the most suitable microstructure for Cu-Al-Ni coating layer. However, the excessive ball milling energy seems to decrease the bonding strength between the coating layer and the matrix.

From isothermal and cyclic oxidation tests on thermomechanically treated Ti-5%Al, Ti47%Al-4%Cr, and Ti-48%Al-2%Cr-2%Nb alloys at 800, 900, 1000℃ in air, it was found that Ti-48%Al-2%Cr-2%Nb and Ti-47%Al-4%Cr had the best and the worst oxidation resistance, respectively. The oxide scales consisted primarily of TiO₂and Al₂O₃, with and without a small amount of dissolved Cr and 7b ions, depending on the alloy composition. These ions were slightly enriched inside the inner oxide layer, and strongly enriched around the scale-matrix interface. The outer TiO₂-rich layer was formed by the outward diffusion of Ti ions, while the inner (TiO₂+A1₂O₃,) mixed layer was formed by the inward transport of oxygen. The outward movement of Al ions farmed the intermediate Al₂O₃-rich Iayer, above talc prepared alloys.

Mechanical alloying(MA) process using elemental powders followed by hot pressing has been applied to some intermetallic alloy system containing ferromagnetic elements, such as NiAl and $FeSi_2$. A modified thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) technique was used to investigate the degree of alloying in milled powders and hot consolidated specimens as well as heat-treated bulk specimens. It is shown that the measurement of Curie temperatures in MA intermetallic powders and consolidated specimens containing ferromagnetic components, when determined as a function of milling and heat treatment parameters, can give some insight into the progress and mechanism of alloying.

Alloys of XD45 (Ti45A12Nb2Mn-0.8vol%TiB$_2$) and XD47 (Ti47A12Nb2Mn-0.8vol%TiB$_2$) were oxidized between 800 and $1000^{\circ}C$ in air, and their oxidation characteristics were studied. The oxide scales consisted primarily of an outer $TiO_2$ layer, an intermediate $Al_2$$O_3$-rich layer, and an inner mixed layer of ($TiO_2$+$Al_2$$O_3$). Nb tended to present at the lower part of the oxide scale, whereas Mn at the upper part of the oxide scale. The Pt marker tests indicated that the outer oxide layer grew primarily by the outward diffusion of Ti and Mn, and the inner mixed layer by the inward transport of oxygen.

To improve the reliability of solder joints, a composite solder which consists of solder matrix and intermetallic reinforcements was manufactured by a new method. The cast ingot of Sn-6.9Cu-2.9Ag alloy had primary Cu6Sn5 intermetallics in the form of dendrites. After rolling the ingot, the intermetallic dendrites were crushed into fine particles and distributed uniformly throughout the solder matrix. As the rolled strips became thinner, the average size of the crushed particles reached a critical size which did not decrease any more by further rolling. The critical size was nearly the same as the average width of intermetallic dendrite trunk. The crushed intermetallic particles did not melt and remained in solid state during reflow soldering due to their high meltingterm-perature. The coarsening and gravitational segregation of the particles were observed during reflow soldering.
