The properties of the detonation sprayed cermet coating are investigated through the mechanical, corrosion and erosion test. The test results are also compared with the properties of the substrate materials, STS 329J1, dual phase stainless steel and the plasma sprayed cermet coatings. The two kinds of carbide cermet power, WC+NiCr, Cr$_3$C$_2$+NiCr were used in this experiment. The experimental results showed that the anti-corrosive and anti-erosive properties of the detonation sprayed cermet coatings are superior to the plasma sprayed cermet coatings. The WC+NiCr cermet coating appears to be more effective than Cr$_3$C$_2$+NiCr cermet coating in abrasive erosion environment, whereas the Cr$_3$C$_2$+NiCr cermet coatings are more effective in cavitation erosion environment.

The corrosion characteristics of Fe-18Cr-10Ni steels were studied between $600^{\circ}C$ and $1000^{\circ}C$ in Ar+(0.2, 1)%$SG_2$ gas for up to 300 hr in order to employ Fe-18Cr-10Ni steels in the coal-fired power plants. The corrosion resistance of Fe-18Cr-10Ni steels was good due mainly to the high amount of Cr, which formed $Cr_2O_3$ from the initial corrosion stage. Fe in the steels corroded to mainly $Fe_2O_3$ and $Fe_3O_4$. Ni was not susceptible to corrosion under the current corrosion condition. Relatively thin, single-layered scales formed.

We produced $(Co_{93}Cr_{7})-P-Ni$ thin films for longitudinal magnetic recording media using OC magnetron sputtering system The variation of magnetic properties of $(Co_{93}Cr_{7})-P-Ni$ pseudo-ternary system with the composition was examined. We obtained the coercivity up to 1500 Oe. The coercivity iocrease could be ascribed to in-plane anisotropy enhaocement, grain size decrease, magnetic decoupling between particles. TEM micrographs showed that the grains were well-decoupled by the addition of phosphorous.

For a development purpose of thick metal / metal Graded-Boundary Materials(GBM), a basic research on the fabrication of Ni-Cr/steel GBM was carried out by a laser beam and its mechanical properties and thermal characteristics were investigated. In order to produce a compositionally graded boundary region between substrate steel and added Ni-Cr alloy, a series of surface alloying treatments was performed with a high power CO$_2$ laser beam. Ni-Cr sheet was placed on a low carbon steel plate(0.18%C), and then a CO$_2$ laser beam was irradiated on the surface to produce a homogeneous alloyed layer. On this first surface-alloyed layer, another Ni-Cr sheet was placed and then the CO$_2$ laser beam was irradiated again to produce second surface-alloyed layer. Sequential repetitions of laser surface alloying treatment 4 times resulted in a graded-boundary region with the thickness of about 1.4mm. Simultaneous concentration profiles of different kinds of alloying elements(Ni and Cr) showed from 42%Ni, 45%Cr and 13%Fe on surface region to 0%Ni, 0%Cr and 99%Fe in substrate region. Also a thermal conductivity gradient resulted in graded-region and its value changed from 0.03㎈/cm s$\^{C}$ in surface region to 0.1㎈/cm s$\^{C}$ in substrate region. Microstructural observation showed that any visible root porosities and solidification shrinkage cracks were not formed in graded region between alloyed layer and substrate region during rapid cooling.

CoCr-based alloys have been developed as wear-resistant materials owing to their excellent mechanical properties and strong wear resistance. The purpose of this study is to experimentally assess the frictional and wear characteristics of CoCr-based alloys slid against two different counter materials subjected to various normal forces to determine the expansion applicability of CoCr-based alloys. CoCrMo and CoCr alloys were selected as the target materials and NiCr and NiCrB alloys as counter materials. Experimental tests were performed using a pin-on-reciprocating plate tribo-tester under dry lubrication. Before performing the tests, the surface of the specimens was observed through confocal microscopy and the hardness was measured using a micro-Vickers hardness tester. The wear volume of the plate was calculated at the end of the tests using confocal microscope data, and the wear rate was quantitatively obtained based on Archard's wear law. From the results, the wear rates of the CoCrMo specimens that slid against NiCr and NiCrB are 7.69 × 10^-6 ㎣/Nm and 5.26 × 10^-6 ㎣/Nm, respectively. The wear rates of the CoCr specimens that slid against NiCr and NiCrB were higher than those of the CoCrMo specimens by factors of approximately 4 and 8, respectively. The CoCrMo specimens further exhibited lower friction characteristics than the CoCr specimens. The findings of this study will be useful for expanded applications of CoCr-based alloys as wear-resistant materials for various mechanical parts.

The electronic structures of $TCr_2O_4$ (T = Fe, Co, Ni) spinel oxides have been investigated by employing synchrotron radiation-based soft X ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). The measured 2p XAS spectra of transition-metal ions reveal that Cr ions are trivalent ($Cr^{3+}$), and all the T (T = Fe, Co, Ni) ions are divalent ($Fe^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$, $Ni^{2+}$). It is also found that most of T (T = Fe, Co, Ni) ions occupy the A sites under the tetrahedral symmetry, while Cr ions occupy mainly the B sites under the octahedral symmetry. These findings show that the structures of $TCr_2O_4$ (T = Fe, Co, Ni) are very close to the normal spinel structures. Based on these findings, it is expected that Jahn-Teller (JT) effects are important in $FeCr_2O_4$ and $NiCr_2O_4$. In contrast, $CoCr_2O_4$ maintains the cubic structure without having the JT distortion since both $Cr^{3+}$ and $Co^{2+}$ ions are non-JT ions. This work suggests that the antiferromagnetic interaction between $Cr^{3+}$ and $T^{2+}$ ions plays an important role in determining the magnetic properties of $TCr_2O_4$ (T = Fe, Co, Ni).

High velocity oxy-fuel sprayed NiCoCrAlY coatings were oxidized between 1000 and $1200^{\circ}C$ in air, and the oxide scales were examined by XRD, SEM/EDS, and EPMA. The unoxidized coatings consisted mainly of ${\gamma}$'$-Ni_3$Al, with some ${\gamma}$-Ni. The major oxide formed on the coatings was $\alpha$ $-Al_2$$O_3$. Additionally, (CoCr$_2$$O_4$, $CoAl_2$$O_4$) spinels and $Al_{5}$ $Y_3$$O_{12}$ coexisted. NiO was not found, despite of high amount of Ni in the coating. Below the oxide layer, internally formed $Al_2$$O_3$ existed.

The precipitation behaviors of ${\gamma}"(Ni_3Nb)$ in four Ni-base alloys were investigated. The four alloys were forged Ni20Cr20Fe5Nb alloy, mechanically alloyed Ni20Cr20Fe5Nb alloy, IN 718 alloy and ECAPed(equal channel angular pressing) IN 718 alloy. Aging treatment was employed at either $600^{\circ}C$ or $720^{\circ}C$ for 20 hrs. The TEM observation and hardness test were performed to identify the formation of ${\gamma}"$. The precipitation of ${\gamma}"$ was noticed after aging at $600^{\circ}C$ for 20 hrs in the mechanically alloyed Ni20Cr20Fe5Nb alloy and ECAPed IN 718 alloy, while it was observed after aging at $720^{\circ}C$ for 20 hrs in the forged Ni20Cr20Fe5Nb alloy and IN 718 alloy before ECAP. The lower aging temperature for ${\gamma}"$ precipitation in the mechanically alloyed Ni20Cr20Fe5Nb alloy and ECAPed IN 718 alloy than in the forged Ni20Cr20Fe5Nb alloy and IN 718 alloy before ECAP appeared to be due to the severe plastic deformation which occurred during mechanical alloying or ECAP.

The microstructure, electrical and dielectric characteristics of $ZnO-{Pr}_6{O}_11-{CoO}-{Dy}_2{O}_3$-based varistors were investigated without and with various metal oxide additives(NiO, MgO, Cr$_2$O$_3$). The average grain size decreased in the range of 18.4 $\backsim$ 11.5 $\mu$m, in order of NiO\longrightarrowMgO\longrightarrow{Cr}_2{O}_3$ and the density decreased in the range of 5.62 \backsim 5.33 $g/{cm}^3$ in order of NiO\longrightarrowCr$_2$O$_3$\longrightarrowMgO. While, the nonlinear exponent increased In the range of 19.8$\backsim$67.4 in order of NiO\longrightarrowMgO\longrightarrow${Cr}_2{O}_3$ and the leakage current decreased in the range of 25.6 $\backsim$ 1.2 $\mu$A in order of NiO\longrightarrow${Cr}_2{O}_3$\longrightarrowMgO. Among all varistors, the Cr$_2$O$_3$-added varistor exhibited the highest nonlinearity, with a nonlinear exponent of 67.4 and a leakage current of 1.2 $\mu$A. Furthermore, this varistor exhibited the lowest dielectric dissipation factor of 0.0407.
