Effects of the surface fluorination on the electrochemical charge-discharge properties of $Mg_2$Ni electrode in Ni-MH batteries fabricated by mechanical alloying were investigated. After 20h ball milling, Mg and Ni powder formed nanocrystalline $Mg_2$Ni. Discharge capacity of this alloy increased greatly at first one cycle, but due to the formation of Mg(OH)$_2$ passive layer, it showed a rapid degradation in alkaline solution within 10cyc1es. In case of 6N KOH +xN KF electrolyte (x = 0.5, 1, 2), a continuous and stable fluorinated layer formed by adding excess F$^{[-10]}$ ion, increased durability of $Mg_2$Ni electrode greatly and high rate discharge capability(90-100mAh/g). 2N KF addition led to the highest durability of all tested here. The reason of the improvement is due to thin MgF$_2$, which can prevent the $Mg_2$Ni electrode from forming Mg(OH)$_2$layer that is the main cause of degradation.

Several $Al_2O_3$-based polycrystalline which had different dopant ratio in the range of 0.5mol% were prepared by doping pure $Cr_2O_3$, $ZrO_2$, $HfO_3$ Single crystalline which had same composition with above polycrystalline were made by means of floating zone method. This study examined the role of each dopant for enhancing the mefchanical properties of $Al_2O_3$-based Ceramics. Optical micrographs $({\times}200)$ of $Al_2O_3-Cr_2O_3$ single crystal showing not only radial crack (rc) on the specimen surface but median crack (mc) and lateral crack (lc) under surface at the edge of indentation mark. Fracture toughness of $Al_2O_3$-based Ceramics was increased with $ZrO_2$ content. Alloying effect of $Cr_2O_3$ contributed to the hardness of $Al_2O_3$ based ceramics.

In an effort to improve the dent resistance of exterior body panels at a reduced steel thickness, the bake hardenable steels added Ti or Nb with tensile strength of 35Kgf/$\textrm{mm}^2$ were investigated. The bake hardenability increased with the annealing temperature and solute carbon content. Bake hardening of 3 to 5Kgf/$\textrm{mm}^2$ was obtained in steels with a controlled solute carbon concentration range from 6 to 10ppm. The galvannealing temperature and time had little influence on the bake hardenability. The Fe-Zn alloying reaction of 35Kgf/$\textrm{mm}^2$ BH steel was remarkably retarded due to a 0.07%P addition. The optimum galvannealing temperatures of 35Kgf/$\textrm{mm}^2$ BH steel were ranged from 520 to 56$0^{\circ}C$ in view of the Fe content and powdering resistance. The cross-section and planar views of the galvannealed coatings to characterize morphology development were discussed.

This work was carried out as a fundamental experiment to fabricate a Graded-Boundary Ni/Steel material using a laser beam. A Ni sheet was placed on a steel substrate, and then a series of high power $CO_2$ laser beams were irradiated on the surface in order to produce a homogeneous alloyed layer. The processing parameters were : 4 ㎾ laser power, 2m/min traverse speeds, -2mm defocuing, 17 l/min sheiding gas flow rates. The sequential repetition of the laser surface alloying treatment up to 4 times, resulted in about 5mm thick of fair compositional gradient systems. In order to determine the microstructure, phase and compositional profiles in this material, optical microscopy, XRD and EDS were used. The compositions varied from 66% to 0% for Ni and 34% to 100% for Fe in this material The microstructures were typical morphologies of rapid solidification and solid-state cooling. Since compressive stress was formed in the heat affected region due to martensitic transformation, while relative tensile stress was developed in the alloyed region, cracks were formed between the alloyed region and the substrate region.

Rheology forming technology has been accepted as a new method for fabricating near net shaped products with lightweight aluminum alloys. The rheology forming process consists of reheating process of billet, billet handling, filling into the die cavity and solidification of rheology formed part. The rheology forming experiments are performed with two different die temperatures ($T_d$ = $200^{\circ}C$, $300^{\circ}C$) and orifice gate type. The filling behavior and various defects of Al-Si materials with wear resistance (A357, A390 and ALTHIX 86S) fabricated in rheology forming process are evaluated in terms of alloying elements and surface non-uniformity. Finally, the methods to obtain the rheology formed products with high quality are described by solutions for avoiding the surface and internal defects.

자동차 및 에너지 산업의 적용을 목표로 고망간강의 기계적 성질 향상 연구가 활발히 진행된 반면 내식성 연구는 미비하다. 본 연구에서는 염수 환경 및 H2S 환경에서 4종의 고망간강의 내식성에 미치는 크롬 및 망간의 영향을 조사하였다. 비교재로 사용된 탄소강 대비 실험재의 부식 속도는 침지 실험을 통해 얻어졌다. 또한 내식성 기구 고찰을 위하여 상평형 프로그램을 통하여 녹 층을 예측하고, 침지실험으로부터 얻어진 녹 층을 XRD, SEM-EDS 및 TEM-EDS로 분석하였다. 3.5% NaCl 용액에서 크롬 및 망간이 모두 내식성을 향상시킨 반면, synthetic seawater에서는 크롬만이 내식성을 향상시켰다. 또한 이들 염수 환경과 달리 H2S 환경에서 크롬과 망간 모두 내식성을 향상시키지 못했다. 환경에 따라 강의 내식성에 미치는 합금 원소의 영향이 상이한 원인은 각각의 환경에서 형성된 녹층의 구성 물질의 차이에 의한 것으로 이에 대하여는 본문의 된 녹 층 분석 결과에서 자세히 설명되었다.

Cyclic hot corrosion studies have been carried out on(82~94) wt. % Fe-(5, 10, 15) wt. % Cr alloys con-taining either (1, 3)wt. % of Si or Pt as minor alloying elements in molten salts of($Na_2SO_4$+NaCl) between 820 and $920^{\circ}C$. Si or Pt decreased corrosion rate with the most pronounced effect being observed for alloys having 15wt. %Cr. Especially, as Si or Pt contents are increased from 1 to 3 wt. %, improved corrosion resistance was obtained. The beneficial effect of Si addition is due to the presence of the Si-rich second phase along the grain boundaries as well as the formation of the protective $SiO_2$layer between substrates and oxide scale. The Pt addition also increased the corrosion resistance by enhancing the formation ($Cr_2O_3$+layers and by increasing the adherence of the oxide scale.

Hard coatings playa continuously increasing role in the field of tribology as well as for decorative applications. In both areas they are often also exposed to corrosive media. While especially hard nitride coatings show a high corrosion resistance for themselves, hard $coating_strate systems may suffer from a severe corrosion attack due to the defects in the coating structure (pores, pinholes) resulting from the PVD-typical film morphology. While a huge number of investigations cover the tribological properties, only limited studies deal with the corrosion behavjour of coating substrate systems and attempts are made to improve their corrosion resistance. The present paper shortly describes the corrosion mechanisms and repots characteristic examples of the system behaviour. Special emphasis is laid on recent investigations to improve the corrosion resistance by alloying, interlayers or multilayered coating structures.es.

In this study, we investigated morphology observation of nanostructured Ti-25Ta-xZr alloys. Ti-25Ta-(3wt%~15 wt%) Zr alloys were prepared by a vacuum arc-melting furnace. Formation of nanotubular structure was achieved by an electrochemical method in 1M $H_3PO_4$ electrolytes containing 0.8%wt.% NaF. Nanotube morphology depended on alloying elements.
