Computer Automated Radioactive Particle Tracking (CARPT) technique has been successfully utilized to measure the velocity profiles and mixing parameters in different multiphase flow systems where a single radioactive tracer is used to track the tagged phase. However, many industrial processes use a wide range of particles with different physical properties where solid particles could vary in size, shape and density. For application in such systems, the capability of current single tracer CARPT can be advanced to track more than one particle simultaneously. Tracking multiple particles will thus enable to track the motion of particles of different size shape and density, determine segregation of particles and probing particle interactions. In this work, a newly developed Multiple Radioactive Particle Tracking technique (M-RPT) used to track two different radioactive tracers is demonstrated. The M-RPT electronics was developed that can differentiate between gamma counts obtained from the different radioactive tracers on the basis of their gamma energy peak. The M-RPT technique was validated by tracking two stationary and moving particles (Sc-46 and Co-60) simultaneously. Finally, M-RPT was successfully implemented to track two phases, solid and liquid, simultaneously in three phase slurry bubble column reactors.

The influence of rhenium (Re) and ruthenium (Ru) addition on the solidification and solute redistribution behaviors in advanced experimental Ni-base superalloys has been investigated. A series of model alloys with different levels of Re and Ru were designed based on the composition of Ni-6Al-8Ta and were prepared by vacuum arc melting of pure metallic elements. In order to identify the influence of Re and Ru addition on the thermo-physical properties, differential scanning calorimetry analyses were carried out. The results showed that Re addition marginally increases the liquidus temperature of the alloy. However, the ${\gamma}^{\prime}$ solvus was significantly increased at a rate of $8.2^{\circ}C/wt.%$ by the addition of Re. Ru addition, on the other hand, displayed a much weaker effect on the thermo-physical properties or even no effect at all. The microsegregation behavior of solute elements was also quantitatively estimated by an electron probe microanalysis on a sample quenched during directional solidification of primary ${\gamma}$ with the planar solid/liquid interface. It was found that increasing the Re content gradually increases the microsegregation tendency of Re into the dendritic core and ${\gamma}^{\prime}$ forming elements, such as Al and Ta, into the interdendritic area. The strongest effect of Ru addition was found to be Re segregation. Increasing the Ru content up to 6 wt.% significantly alleviated the microsegregation of Re, which resulted in a decrease of Re accumulation in the dendritic core. The influence of Ru on the microstructural stability toward the topologically close-packed phase formation was discussed based on Scheil type calculations with experimentally determined microsegregation results.

RE : YAG 단결정은 레이저 발진 소재로 다양한 성장 변수를 제어하면서 Czochralski법으로 성장된다. 성장과정 동안 고액계면의 온도구배 및 회전속도에 의해 발생하는 결함들은 결정의 광학적 특성 저하로 작용하기 때문에 결함 분석을 통한 결정 품질의 향상을 필요로 한다. 격자결함 밀도 분석(EPD)을 통하여 성장된 RE : YAG 단결정의 표면 결함 존재를 확인하였고, 이를 통해 투과전자현미경(TEM) 분석영역을 선택하였다. 선택한 영역의 시편은 트라이포드 연마 방법으로 제작하였고, 200 kV 투과전자현미경과 300 kV 전계 방사형 투과전자현미경(FE-TEM)을 사용하여 buckling, rod shaped, 내부응력에 의한 bend contours, 편석 등의 결함들을 관찰하였다.

Directional solidification experiments were carried out in a hypoeutectic Al-11.3Si-3.5Cu system to investigate the microstructural evolution with the solidification rate. At a fixed temperature gradient, a dendritic microstructure was observed at a constant speed of more than $25{\mu}ms^{-1}$, a cellular interface developed at $5{\mu}ms^{-1}$ and the growth rate of $0.5{\mu}ms^{-1}$ led to the stability of the planar interface. The results revealed that primary silicon phases formed among cells, even though the studied Al-Si alloy system formed the composition within a hypoeutectic silicon composition. This suggests that the liquid concentration among cells during solidification reached a higher concentration, i.e., the eutectic concentration. It is, however, interesting that primary silicon phases did not form during a dendritic growth of more than $25{\mu}ms^{-1}$. These experimental observations are explained using the theoretical models on the interface temperatures.

This study focuses on the microstructural development of 99% magnesium alloy sheet manufactured using twin roll casting (TRC) process. Herein, a plate with a thickness of 5 mm was manufactured using the TRC process, homogenization heat treatment was performed at 400℃ for 2-32 h, and finally, the change in microstructure was evaluated via optical microscopy and textural analysis. The results suggest that the plate manufactured using the TRC process was not destroyed and was successfully rolled into a plate. Microscopic observation suggested that the dendritic cast structure was arranged along the rolling direction. And the central layer of the rolled plate, where was present in a liquid state at the beginning of rolling, solidified later during the TRC process to form central segregation. The initial cast structure and inhomogeneous structure of the plate were recrystallized by homogenization heat treatment for only 2 h, and it was confirmed that the segregated part of the central layer became homogeneous and recrystallization occurred. Grain growth occurred as the heat treatment time increased, and secondary recrystallization occurred, wherein only some grains were grown. The textural analysis, which was conducted via X-ray diffraction, confirmed that the relatively weak basal plane texture developed using the TRC process was formed into a random texture after heat treatment.

This study was performed to investigate types and formation mechanism of cracks in two Al alloy welds, A5083 and A7NO1 spot-welded by pulse Nd: YAG laser, using SEM, EPMA and Micro-XRD. In the weld zone, three types of crack were observed: center line crack($C_{C}$), diagonal crack($C_{D}$), and U shape crack($C_{U}$). Also, HAZ crack($C_{H}$), was observed in the HAZ region, furthermore, mixing crack($C_{M}$), consisting of diagonal crack and HAZ crack was observed.White film was formed at the hot crack region in the fractured surface after it was immersed to 10%NaOH water. In the case of A5083 alloy, white films in C crack and $C_D crack region were composed of low melting phases, Fe₂Si$Al_8$ and eutectic phases, Mg₂Al₃ and Mg₂Si. Such films observed near HAZ crack were also consist of eutectic Mg₂Al₃. In the case of A7N01 alloy, eutectic phases of CuAl₂, $Mg_{32}$ (Al,Zn) ₃, MgZn₂, Al₂CuMg and Mg₂Si were observed in the whitely etched films near $C_{C}$ crack and $C_{D}$ crack regions. The formation of liquid films was due to the segregation of Mg, Si, Fe in the case of A5083 alloy and Zn, Mg, Cu, Si in the case of A7N01 aooly, respectively.The $C_{D}$ and $C_{C}$ cracks were regarded as a result of the occurrence of tensile strain during the welding process. The formation of $C_{M}$ crack is likely to be due to the presence of liquid film at the grain boundary near the fusion line in the base metal as well as in the weld fusion zone during solidification. The $C_{U}$ crack is considered a result of the collapsed keyhole through incomplete closure during rapid solidification. (Received October 7, 1999)

용접예열은 본 용접 전에 금속이 융착되는 모재면을 일정한 온도로 가열하는 것을 의미한다. 냉각속도 조절에 따른 재료 경화 정도 감소, 불순물 편석억제, 열적 변형방지, 그리고 수분제거 등 인접 영향부의 균열을 방지할 수 있다. 이러한 이유에서 고품질의 용접을 위하여 반드시 필요한 작업이다. 유도가열은 전자기유도 현상을 응용하여 전기에너지를 열에너지로 변환시키는 효율적인 가열방식이다. 기체 및 액체를 이용한 연소발열과 비교하여 신속한 가열뿐만 아니라 청결하고, 안정적이며, 경제적이다. 단순한 구조로 주파수와 코일의 형태를 변형하여 가열체의 형상, 깊이, 재질에 관계없이 가열할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 유도가열 기법을 이용하여 저주파 용접예열 시스템을 구현하였으며, 3종의 자동차 변속기 부품을 대상으로 권선코일 내에서 각 변속기 높이에 따라 권선코일 저항, 인덕턴스 및 자동차 변속기 부품의 온도변화를 관찰한 결과 전류의 변화는 저주파 가열에 있어 매우 중요한 요인으로 작용함을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 입계의 성질을 이용한 PTCR 재료에 입계 modifier로서 $Bi_2O_3$를 첨가하고 입계의 미세구조와 결함농도를 변화시켜 이에 따른 소결 및 전기적 특성변화를 TMA, XRD, 복합 임피던스방법 등을 이용하여 해석하였다. 실험 결과 Y이 도우핑된 $BaTiO_3$PTCR 재료에 $Bi_2O_3$를 첨가하였을때 약 0.1mol%까지 고용이 되는 것으로 밝혀졌다. $Bi_2O_3$를 고용한계 이하로 첨가시에는 생성되는 vacancy등의 결함으로 말미암아 $Y-BaTiO_3$의 치밀화가 촉진되었으나, 그 이상 첨가하면 치밀화 뿐만 아니라 결정립 성장도 억제되었다. $Bi_2O_3$의 첨가량에 따라 계내에 존재하는 각 이온의 반경, 결함 반응식 및 격자 탄성 변형 에너지 등을 고려하면 $Y-BaTiO_3$결정립 내부에 Ba와 Ti vacancy가 동시에 생길 수 있어 고온저항이 높아짐을 알 수 있었다. BN은 $BaTiO_3$에 고용이 되지 않는 것으로 밝혀졌으며 $B_2O_3$를 주성분으로한 액상형성으로 인하여 저온에서의 급격한 치밀화가 관찰되었다. 또 Ba-Y-Ti-B-O의 비정질 상이 tripie junction에 존재함으로써 상온저항이 크게 변화하였으며, PTCR jump도 높아졌다.

말지방(horse fat)은 아시아에서 효능 있는 원료로 알려져 있어, 말지방에 첨가제 수준에서 다른 성분을 혼합한 거의 말지방 자체를 완제품으로 판매하는 경우가 상당수 있다. 이런 경우 말지방 원료의 물성이 중요한데, 국내에서 정제된 말지방의 경우 온도 안정성이 낮아 저온에 보관하지 않으면 분리가 발생하는 불편한 점이 발생하기도 한다. 일본산 말지방의 경우 부분적으로 수소 첨가하거나 액체상과 고체상을 분리시켜 고체상을 말지방으로 사용하고 있어 제주산 말지방보다 더 단단하고 안정된 성상을 나타내고 있다. 본 연구에서는 제주산 말지방을 부분적으로 수소 첨가하는 공정 없이도 안정한 물성으로 향상시키기 위한 물성향상 실험을 진행하였다. 실험은 다양한 오일겔화제(oil gelling agent)를 사용하였으며 여러 차례 실험을 진행한 결과 hydroxystearic acid를 첨가한 제주산 말지방에서 가장 물성이 향상된 것을 확인하였다. 또한 hydroxystearic acid를 첨가시켜 개선된 제주산 말지방과 100% 제주산 말지방, 100% 일본산　말지방에 대해 실온(25 ℃), 항온(40 ℃, 45 ℃)에서 안정성 평가를 진행하였고, 각 말지방에 대해 온도별 유동거동을 평가한 결과 hydroxystearic acid를 첨가시켜 개선한 제주산 말지방이 일본산 말지방과 유사한 유동거동을 나타냈다. 또한 현미경으로 결정입자를 관찰한 경우, hydroxystearic acid 첨가에 따라 침상결정의 크기를 작게 함으로써 좀 더 열안정성을 향상시키는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 hydroxystearic acid를 첨가시켜 개선된 제주산 말지방은 실온에서 장시간 보관하여도 물성에 이상이 없음을 확인할 수 있었다.
