Plasma spraying technique was used to fabricate functionally graded coating (FGC) of NiCrAIY/YSZ 8wt%$Y_2O_3-ZrO_2$ on a Co-base superalloy (HAYNES 188) substrate. Six layers were coated on the substrate for building up compositionally graded architecture. Conventional thermal barrier coating (TBC) of NiCrAIY/SZ with sharp interface was also fabricated. As-coated FGC and TBC samples were exposed at the temperature of $1100^{\circ}C$ for 10, 50, 100 hours in air. Microstructural change of thermally exposed samples was examined. Pores and microcracks were formed in YSZ layer due to evolution of thermal internal stress at high temperature. The amount of pores and microcracks in YSZ layer were increased with increasing exposure time at high temperature. High temperature oxidation of coatings occurred mainly at the NiCrAIY/YSZ interface. In comparison with the case of TBC. the increased area of the NiCrAIY/YSZ interface in FGC is likely to attribute to forming the higher amount of oxides.

We have investigated the effects of boron added to Cu film on the Cu-Ti reaction and microstructural evolution of Cu(B) alloy film during annealing of Cu(B)/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si structure. The result were compared with those of Cu(B)/$SiO_2$ structure to identify the effects of Ti glue layers on the Boron behavior and the result grain growth of Cu(B) alloy. The vacuum annealing of Cu(B)/Ti/$SiO_2$ multilayer structure allowed the diffusion of B to the Ti surface and forming $TiB_2$ compounds at the interface. The formed $TiB_2$ can act as a excellent diffusion barrier against Cu-Ti interdiffusion up to $800^{\circ}C$. Also, the resistivity was decreased to $2.3\mu$$\Omega$-cm after annealing at $800^{\circ}C$. In addition, the presence of Ti underlayer promoted the growth Cu(l11)-oriented grains and allowed for normal growth of Cu(B) film. This is in contrast with abnormal growth of randomly oriented Cu grains occurring in Cu(B)/$SiO_2$ upon annealing. The Cu(B)/Ti/$SiO_2$ structure can be implemented as an advanced metallization because it exhibits the low resistivity, high thermal stability and excellent diffusion barrier property.

A Cu-Fe-P copper alloy was processed by accumulative roll-bonding (ARB) for ultra grain refinement and high strengthening. Two 1mm thick copper sheets, 30 mm wide and 300 mm long, were first degreased and wire-brushed for sound bonding. The sheets were then stacked on top of each other and roll-bonded by about 50% reduction rolling without lubrication at ambient temperature. The bonded sheet was then cut into two pieces of the same dimensions and the same procedure was repeated for the sheets up to eight cycles. Microstructural evolution of the copper alloy with the number of the ARB cycles was investigated by optical microscopy (OM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), and electron back scatter diffraction(EBSD). The grain size decreased gradually with the number of ARB cycles, and was reduced to 290 nm after eight cycles. The boundaries above 60% of ultrafine grains formed exhibited high angle boundaries above 15 degrees. In addition, the average misorientation angle of ultrafine grains was 30 degrees.

We propose a novel stripping solution containing acids (HCl and HNO₃), an oxidant [(NH₄)₂S₂O₈], and complexing agents (NaCl and citric acid) to remove surface passivation layers from 14K gold alloys fabricated using an investment casting process. The optimized solution employing only HCl acid is determined by varying molar fractions of HCl and HNO₃ on 14K yellow gold samples. Stripping properties are also identified for red and white gold alloy samples under the optimized stripping conditions. The removal of passivation layers, weight loss, and microstructure evolution are characterized using Raman spectroscopy, a precision scale, and optical microscopy. The proposed stripping solution effectively removes passivation layers more rapidly than conventional cyanide stripping. Weight loss increases linearly for up to 5 min for all 14K gold alloys. Red gold exhibits the greatest weight loss, followed by yellow gold and white gold. The results of microstructural analysis reveal that the conformal stripping occurs according to time. These results imply that the proposed oxidative chloride stripping might replace conventional cyanide stripping.

The hot deformation characteristics of pure molybdenum was investigated in the temperature range of $600{\sim}1200^{\circ}C$ and strain rate range of $0.01{\sim}10.0/s$ using a Gleeble test machine. The power dissipation map for hot working was developed on the basis of the Dynamic Materials Model. According to the map, dynamic recrystallization (DRX) occurs in the temperature range of $1000{\sim}1100^{\circ}C$ and the strain rate range of $0.01{\sim}10.0/s$, which are the optimum conditions for hot working of this material. The average grain size after DRX is $5{\mu}m$. The material undergoes flow instabilities at temperatures of $900{\sim}1200^{\circ}C$ and the strain rates of $0.01{\sim}10.0/s$, as calculated by the continuum instability criterion.

In this study, ternary Ti-Mo-N and new quaternary Ti-Mo-Si-N coatings were synthesized on steel substrates(AISI D2) and Si wafers by a hybrid coating system of arc ion plating (AIP) using Ti target and d.c. magnetron sputtering technique using Mo and Si targets in $N_2/Ar$ gaseous mixture. Ternary Ti-Mo-N coatings were substitutional solid-solution of (Ti, Mo)N and showed maximum hardness of approximately 30 GPa at the Mo content of ${\sim}10$. %. The Ti-Mo-Si-N coating with the Si content of 8.8 at. % was a composite consisting of fine (Ti, Mo)N crystallites and amorphous $Si_3N_4$ phase. The hardness of the Ti-Mo-Si(8.8 at. %)-N coatings exhibited largely increased hardness value of ${\sim}48$ GPa due to the microstructural evolution to the fine composite microstructure and the refinement of (Ti, Mo)N crystallites. The average friction coefficient of the Ti-Mo-Si-N coatings largely decreased with increase of Si content. The microstructures of Ti-Mo-Si-N coatings were investigated with instrumental analyses of XRD, XPS, and HRTEM in this work.

Nanosized WC and WC-Co powders were synthesised by chemical vapor condensation(CVC) process using the pyrolysis of tungsten hexacarbonyl(W(CO)$_6$) and cobalt octacarbonyl(Co$_2$(CO)$_8$). The microstructural changes and phase evolution of the CVC powders during post heat-treatment were studied using the XRD, FE-SEM, TEM, and ICP-MS. CVC powders were consisted of the loosely agglomerated sub-stoichimetric WC$_{1-x}$ and the long-chain Co nanopowders. The sub-stochiometric CVC WC and WC-Co powders were carburized using the mixture gas of CH$_4$-H$_2$ in the temperature range of 730-85$0^{\circ}C$. Carbon content of CVC powder controlled by the gas phase carburization at 85$0^{\circ}C$ was well matched with the theoretical carbon sioichiometry of WC, 6.13 wt％. During the gas phase carburization, the particle size of WC increased from 20 nm to 40 nm and the long chain structure of Co powders disappeared.

We fabricated the textured Ni substrate and evaluated the effects of processing variables on microstructural evolution and texture transformation. Ni-rods as an initial specimen were prepared by two different methods, i.e., powder metallurgy(P/M) and plasma arc melting(PAM) The texture of the substrate was characterized by pole-figure and surface condition was evaluated by atomic force microscopy. It was observed that the texture of substrate made by P/M did not significantly varied with annealing temperature of 800~120$0^{\circ}C$ and the full-width at half-maximums (FWHM) of both in-plane and out-of-plane were 9$^{\circ}$~10$^{\circ}$. On the other hand, the texture of substrate made by PAM was more dependent on the annealing temperature and the FWHMs of in-plane texture was 9$^{\circ}$~13$^{\circ}$ at the temperature range. In addition, twin texture, (221)＜221＞, was formed as the temperature increased further. The grain size of substrate made by P/M was smaller than that made by PAM and this difference was correlated to the microstructure of initial specimens.

최근 미사일 추진기관 및 기체 구조재로 사용되는 알루미늄 7175 합금의 형상의 변화와 제조공정 변화에 따른 미세조직 변화에 대하여 고찰하였다. 구조체는 사용처에 따라 Flange Type 또는 Ring Type 등으로 형상이 다양하므로 단조 조건과 제품의 위치에 따라 균일한 물성을 획득하기는 매우 어려운 숙제이다. 본 연구에서는 균일한 물성을 얻기 위한 여러 가지 제조 공정의 변화를 모색하였으며, 제조된 단조재의 미세조직을 통하여 물성과의 연관성을 검토하였다. 적용된 공정은 통상의 열간 단조공정, 아 결정립 미세화공정, 재 결정립 미세화 공정 등이며 단조재의 형상과 동일 부품에서도 부위에 따라 변형량이 다르므로 미세조직의 변화가 다르게 나타났다. 아결정립과 재결정립 미세화 공정은 제품의 형상에 따라 내·외부 결정립이 크기가 크게 변화되었다. 이는 내·외부에 재료에 축적되는 에너지의 양과 외적으로 가해지는 기계적 에너지 및 열적 에너지가 다르기 때문이며, 변형량이 큰 부분의 미세 석출물의 크기가 변형량이 적은 부분의 석출물보다 크게 감소됨은 준안정상이 기계적 에너지가 변형열에 의한 열에너지로 변환됨에 따라 상석출에 영향을 미친 것으로 판단된다. 이와 같은 결과는 미세 조직 제어가 알루미늄합금 단조재의 공정설계의 중요한 인자임을 재 확인시켜 주는 것으로 재료의 신뢰성이 필수적으로 요구되는 추진기관의 중요 부품에 적극 고려해야 할 요소라 할 수 있다.

Soft magnetic properties and microstructural evolution of FeTaNC films were investigated, and compared with FeTaN and FeTaC films. Effects of substrate species (glass vs. $CaTiO_3$) on the magnetic properties were also investigated. Co-addition of N and C significantly enhance the grain refinments and magnetism, compared with N or C addition only. Good soft magnetic characteristics of coercivity of 0.17 Oe, permeability of 4000 (5MHz), and saturation flux density of 17 kG can be obtained in the FeTaNC in the relatively wide process windows. While these values appears to be similar to those of FeTaN on glass substrate, most distinctive difference between FeTaNC and FeTaN(or C) is in the effects of substrate. Whereas FeTaNC films show good magnetic characteristics for both glass and $CaTiO_3$ substrates, FeTaN(or C) films show significant degradation on the $CaTiO_3$ substrate.
