An attempt was made to apply digital image correlation (DIC) strain analysis to in-situ scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations of bending deformation to quantify local strain distribution inside a ZnMgAl-alloy coating in deformation. Interstitial-free steel sheets were hot-dipped in a Zn-3Mg-6Al (mass%) alloy melt at 400 ℃ for 2 s. The specimens were deformed using a miniature-sized 4-point bending test machine inside the SEM chamber. The observed in situ SEM images were used for DIC strain analysis. The hot-dip ZnMgAl-alloy coating exhibited a solidification microstructure composed of a three-phase eutectic of fine Al (fcc), Zn (hcp), and Zn2Mg phases surrounding the primary solidified Al phases. The relatively coarsened Zn₂Mg phases were locally observed inside the ZnMgAl-alloy coating. The DIC strain analysis revealed that the strain was localized in the primary solidified Al phases and fine eutectic microstructure around the Zn₂Mg phase. The results indicated high deformability of the multi-phase microstructure of the ZnMgAl-alloy coating.

In this study, the Zn-Mg alloy coatings with various Mg contents were deposited using an unbalanced magnetron sputtering process. Their surface microstructure, chemical composition, phase, and corrosion property were investigated. The microstructure of the Zn-Mg coatings changed from porous microstructure to dense one with increasing Mg contents in the coatings. As Mg contents in coatings increased, intermetallic phases such as $Mg_2Zn_{11}$ and $MgZn_2$ were detected from X-ray diffraction (XRD) results. The corrosion resistance of the Zn-Mg alloy coatings was investigated quantitatively using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurement with 3.5% NaCl solution. The results of EIS measurement showed that the charge transfer resistance and the phase angle of the Zn-Mg alloy coatings were increased from $162.1{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$ to $558.8{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$ and from about $40^{\circ}$ to $60^{\circ}$ with increasing Mg contents from 5.1 wt.% to 15.5 wt.% in the coatings. These results demonstrate that the Zn-Mg coatings with increasing Mg contents showed an enhanced corrosion resistance.

본 실험에서는 MgO (99.999%)와 ZnO (99.999%)의 두가지 타겟을 사용한 RF co-스퍼터링법을 이용하여 p-type Si (100) 기판 위에 $Zn_{1-x}Mg_xO$ 박막을 증착 하였다. ZnO 타겟의 RF-power은 고정시키고 MgO 타겟의 RF-power를 조절함으로써 Mg 함량을 조절하였다. EDX분석을 통해 MgO RF-power의 증가에 따라 고용되는 Mg의 함량이 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 MgZnO내 Mg 함량이 높아짐에 따라 c-축 격자상수가 감소하는 것을 XRD분석을 통해 알 수 있었고, MgO기반의 2차상은 형성되지 않았다. PL 측정을 통해 Mg함량이 증가 할수록 UV 영역의 파장의 강도는 감소하고 UV 파장의 위치는 blueshift되는 것을 관찰 할 수 있었다.

In recent years, Mg and its alloys have attracted a great deal of attention due to their low density, relatively excellent castability, and straightforward recyclability. Mg alloys have been widely applied to various industrial fields, and are representatively used in automotive and electronic parts. According to previous researches, the electrical conductivity of Mg alloys greatly decreases with increasing Al content. However, with the addition of Zn and/or Cu, the electrical conductivity of Mg alloys is maintained or slightly increased, and improved mechanical properties are obtained as well. On this basis, Mg-Zn-Cu alloys have been investigated in the present study with a focus on the effect of adding Zn and Cu on the electrical conductivity. The Zn and Cu contents ranged from 4 to 6wt.% and 0 to 1.5wt.%, respectively. Ternary Mg-Zn-Cu alloys have been prepared by gravity casting in a steel mold. In the as-casting condition, the electrical conductivity of Mg-Zn-Cu alloys showed a linear increasing trend with decreasing Zn and increasing Cu contents. Furthermore, impact values of Zn = -1.5 and Cu = 2.5 were determined for these alloys by electrical conductivity tests.

The purpose of the study is to determine the effects of Zn in lead poisoning rats by way of examining interaction mechanism of Pb and Zn. The fifty-five rats were Pb divided into four groups such as Zn group, group, Pb and Zn group, and control group. The rats of Zn group and of Zn and Pb group were subdivided into four groups by dose of Zn respectively 250mg/l, 500mg/l, 1, 000mg/l and 2, 000 mg/l. The rats having been fed the above mentioned chemicals, were weighed every five days for fifty-five days, and the subjects were slaughtered for measuring $\delta$-ALAD activities in blood and the accumulation amount of the chemicals in livers and kidneys. The results of the study are summarized as following 1. As for body weight gains, those of the control group rats were the highest, and those of Pb group the lowest. 2. $\delta$-ALAD activities of Pb group showed the tendency of decrease in comparison with those of control group. In Zn group, the subgroups of 250mg/l and 500mg/l showed higher activities than control group, whereas the subgroups of 1, 000mg/l and 2.000mg/l showed lower. 3. Hb value of Pb group was lower than that of control group. In Zn group, Hb value of the groups of 250mg/l and 500mg/l was a little higher than that of control group, while that of the groups of 1, 000mg/l and 2, 000mg/l was lower. 4. The amount of Pb and Zn accumulated in liver was much higher than in kidney. The amount of Pb accumulated in organs of Zn and Pb group decreased gradually in contrast to high concentration of Zn.

In this paper, creep tests of Mg-Zn-Mn and Mg-Zn-Mn-Ca alloys, which were casted by mold with Mg-3%Zn-1%Mn and Mg-3%Zn-1%Mn-0.2%Ca, were done under the temperature range of 473-573K and the stress range of 23.42-78.00Mpa. The activation energies and the stress exponents were measured to investigate the creep plastic deformation of those alloys, and the rupture lifes of Mg-Zn-Mn alloy were also measured to investigate the fracture behavior. From the results, the activation energy of Mg-Zn-Mn and Mg-Zn-Mn-Ca alloys under the temperature range of 473-493K were measured as 149.87, 145.98KJ/mol, respectively, and the stress exponent were measured as 5.13, 6.06 respectively. Also the activation energies Mg-Zn-Mn and Mg-Zn-Mn-Ca alloys under the temperature range of 553-573K were obtained as 134.41, 129.22KJ/mol, respectively, and tress exponent were obtained as 3.48, 4.63, respectively. Finally stress dependence of rupture life and the activation energy of rupture life of Mg-Zn-Mn under the temperature range of 473-493K was measured as 8.05, 170.0(KJ/mol), respectively, which were a little higher than the results of steady state creep.

In the present study, the high temperature mechanical properties and creep resistance of Mg-Zn-Y-Ca alloys has been investigated. The Mg-4Zn-0.8Y alloy consists of ${\alpha}$-Mg matrix and icosahedral quasicrystalline phase. Calcium addition into Mg-4n-0.8Y based alloy results in the formation of ${\tau}(Ca_{2}Mg_{6}Zn_{3})$ and $Mg_{2}Ca$ as the second solidification phases. Creep properties of the Mg-Zn-Y and Mg-Zn-Ca based alloys measured at applied stresses between 65 MPa and 85 MPa are significantly improved with adding calcium and yttrium, respectively. The improved creep resistance is due to the formation of thermally stable $Mg_{2}Ca$ phase.

Objective: This study was conducted to investigate effects of zinc (Zn) bearing palygorskite (ZnPal) supplementation on growth performance, hepatic mineral content, and antioxidant status of broilers at early age. Methods: A total of 240 1-day-old Arbor Acres broiler chicks were allocated into 5 treatments with 6 replicates of 8 chicks each. Birds in 5 treatments were fed a basal diet supplemented with 0 (Control group; Analyzed Zn content: 81 mg/kg), 20, 40, 60, and 80 mg/kg Zn as ZnPal for 21 days, respectively. Blood, liver and intestinal mucosa were collected at 21 days of age. Results: Treatments did not affect growth performance of broilers during the 21-day study (p>0.05). The contents of hepatic Zn and magnesium (Mg) were linearly increased (p<0.001) by ZnPal supplementation. ZnPal inclusion linearly (p = 0.007) reduced malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration in serum. The activity of total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) in liver increased linearly (p = 0.001) with concentration of ZnPal in diet. ZnPal inclusion linearly (p = 0.036) and quadratically (p = 0.005) increased T-SOD activity, and linearly (p = 0.012) increased copper/zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn SOD) activity in jejunal mucosa. The maximum responses of hepatic and jejunal antioxidant enzymes activities (T-SOD and Cu/Zn SOD) were found when supplementing the basal diet with 60 mg/kg Zn as ZnPal. Furthermore, ZnPal supplementation quadratically (p = 0.001) increased Cu/Zn SOD activity in ileal mucosa, and its maximum activity was observed in the diet supplemented with 20 mg/kg Zn as ZnPal. Conclusion: ZnPal supplementation did not alter growth performance of broilers. Dietary ZnPal inclusion could increase concentrations of hepatic trace minerals (Zn and Mg) and inhibit lipid peroxidation by reducing serum MDA accumulation, with the optimal dosage of Zn from ZnPal being 80 mg/kg diet (analyzed Zn content in the diet: 165 mg/kg), and 60 mg/kg Zn as ZnPal (analyzed Zn content in the diet: 148 mg/kg) was the optimum dosage for broilers to achieve maximum antioxidant enzyme activities.

우수한 내식성을 나타내는 Zn-Mg 합금을 강판의 표면처리에 적용하기 위하여 비대칭 마그네트론 스퍼터링을 이용하여 Zn-Mg 박막을 합성하였다. Zn-Mg 박막의 미세조직은 박막 내에 Mg 함량이 증가 할수록 치밀해지며, 합성 중의 온도가 높아지면 박막은 치밀도가 낮아진다. 이렇게 변화하는 Zn-Mg 박막의 미세조직은 박막의 밀착성 및 내식성에 큰 영향을 미치며 미세조직이 치밀할수록 Zn-Mg 박막의 내식성은 증가하나 밀착성은 감소하는 경향성을 나타냈다.
