Sintering behavior and dielectric peroperties of $xCaTiO_3-La(Zn_{1/2}Ti_{1/2})O_3$ system were investigated for better understanding of the microwave dielectric materials. In $xCaTiO_3-(1-x)La(Zn_{1/2}Ti_{1/2})O_3$ systems, solid solution type was focused as a function of composition(x=0.4-0.6) and sintered density. With increasing the sintered density, the relative dielectric constant was decreased and Q value was increased and then saturated. In solid solution type, dielectric constant was increased with increasing $CaTiO_3$ content. In $0.5\;CaTiO_3-0.5\; La(Zn_{1/2}Ti_{1/2})O_3$ case, dielectric constant(=48) and temperature coefficient of resonace frequency$(=-1 ppm/^{\circ}C$) were obtained.

We deposited TiAgN and ZrAgN nanocomposite coatings on pure Titanium specimens, by using arc ion plating (AIP) with single alloy targets. TiAg ZrAg alloy targets of 5 wt.%, 10 wt.% silver content by vacuum arc remelting (VAR), followed by homogenization for 2 hours at $1,100^{\circ}C$ in non-active Ar gas atmosphere and characterized these samples for morphology and chemical composition. We investigated the biocompatibility of TiAg and ZrAg alloys by examining the proliferation of L929 fibroblast cells by MTT test assay, after culturing the cells ($4{\times}10^4cells/cm^2$) for 24 hours; and exploring the antibacterial properties of thin films by culturing Streptococus Mutans (KCTC3065), using paper disk techniques. Our results showed no cytotoxic effects in any of the specimens, but the antibacterial effects against Streptococus Mutans appeared only in the 10 wt.% silver content specimens.

Dielectric properties at microwave frequencies of ($Zr_{0.65}$, $Sn_{0.35}$) $Ti_{1.04}$ $O_{4.04}$ ceramics with additives, NiO as an agent to improve dielectric properties and $B_{2}$ $O_{3}$ as a firing agent were investigated. When 0.5 - 1.5 wt% of NiO is add, the grain growth is inhibited and the shape of the grain is uniformed, Dielectric constant(Fr) and bulk density are increased with raising amount of NiO at sintering temperature of 1330 - 1360.deg. C, but the temperature coefficient of resonant frquency(.epsilon.$_{r}$) decreased gradually as the NiO content increased. The value of Qx $f_{o}$ was increased as the amount of NiO was increased in the range of 0.5 to 1.0 wt% and the Qx $f_{o}$, was decreased slightly with raising sintering temperature. With NiO of 1.0 wt% and at sintering temperature of 1360.deg. C, this ceramics was found to have excellent microwave properties of .epsilon.$_{r}$=37.8, Qx $f_{o}$ = 48.600 and .tau.$_{f}$ = 7 ppm/.deg. C.C.. C.. C.C.. C.. C.

In this study, TiC/steel metal matrix composites were fabricated by powder metallurgy process using Fealloy powders with 3 wt.% Cr and 10 wt.% Cr, respectively, as matrix material. Subsequently, the composite samples were heat treated by the annealing and quenching-tempering(Q-T), respectively, to understand the effect of heat treatment on the mechanical properties of the composites. The correlation between microstructure and structural strength depending on the chromium content and the heat treatment conditions was studied through tensile, compressive, and transverse rupture test and microstructural analysis. In the case of TiC/steel composite containing 10 wt.% Cr, the tensile strength and transverse rupture strength at room temperature were significantly lowered by the influence of coarse chromium carbide formed at the TiC/steel interface. On the other hand, both TiC/steel composites containing 3 wt.% Cr and 10 wt.% Cr showed much higher compressive strength of about 4 GP after quenching-tempering compared to the annealed specimens regardless of the presence of the chromium carbide.

1. Preparation of Titanium tetrachloride; The following precesses were strictly followed as the preliminary step to obtain pure $TiOCl_2$, titanyl chloride; First, pure Titanium Oxide mixed with carbon is rolled into pills. After drying up perfectly, these pills are heated at 900∼1000${\circ}C$. And then the pills are subjected to the flow of $Cl_2$ gas in a quartz tube heated to 900-1000${\circ}C$. Thus Titanium tetrachloride is obtained. 2. Preparation of $TiOCl_2$ ; Yellowish trobrown solution is made by pouring 80 g of conc. HCl (sp.gr. 1.19) to 45 gr of Titanium tetrachloride (approx. 2 times of theoretical amount). Then this solution is kept settled for 5-days in a desiccator filled with phosphorous pentoxide at room temperature. As the colorless amorphous solid thus obtained is washed with aceton, 36.5 g of the pure salt are obtained. 3. Determination of composition. The analysis of the sample taken from the deposit desiccated gives the following data; (A) Qualitative analysis; a) $Ti(OH)_4$ is precipitated by adding NaOH in water solution of the salt. b) Adding $AgNO_3$ solution, the water solution of the salt gives white precipitate of AgCl. c) When acid and $H_2O_2$ are added, the solution turns its color to redish brown (This proves that $TiO^{++}$ was converted into $TiO^{++}$ by oxidation of $H_2O_2$. (B) Quantitative analysis; a) $Ti(OH)_4$ precipitated by $10{\%}$ NaOH isalitatsubjected consecutively to the filtration and ignition in porcelain crucible at approx. 1000${\circ}C$. , then $TiO_2$ thus formed is weighed and calculated into Ti content. b) Chlorine involved in water solution of the salt is determined by Vorhardt method. Result: The values obtained from previous analysis, devied by their atomic weight gives the following composition: Ti : Cl = 1 : 2 Therefore $TiOCl_2$ should be given as its molecular formula. 4. Summary. When $TiCl_4$ is additated into conc. HCl, $TiO^{++}$ formed exists as a stable form, and forms $TiOCl_2$. However $TiOCl_2$ is unstable to heating. When the temperature is raised to $65{\circ}C$the decomposition of the solution is accelerated, and gives $TiO_2$ aq. $TiOCl_2$ in addition is highly hygroscopic.

Ti and Ti alloys are important materials for medical and dental applications. The effect of equal channel angular process(ECAP) and addition of Fe in Ti were studied with optical microstructure and corrosion behavior. Fine grains in Ti was obtained after ECAP. Corrosion behavior of commercial pure(CP)-Ti and Ti alloys was studied by open circuit test and polarization curve test(PCT) at $36.5^{\circ}C$ with SBF in biological environment. The corrosion behavior of ECAP-Ti was similar to that of CP-Ti in PCT, but Ti-Fe alloys were observed to become more corrosive with increasing Fe content.

The sintering phenomena, electrical resistivity, dielectric and piezoelectric properties of lead titanate ceramics modified by the partial substitution of La for Pb and Mn for Ti, (Pb1-1.5xLax)(Ti1-yMny)O3 ceramics, have been investigated. In (Pb1-1.5xLax)(Ti1-yMny)O3 system, with increasing lanthanum content, the realtive bulk density increased, but the Curie point and tetragonality (c/a) decreased. The tetragonal-to-cubic phase transition boundary existed in the range of 0.20

Undoped PbTiO3 ceramics was successfully prepared by using sol-gel process, which had not been fabricated due to its microcracks created by anisotropic stress during phase transition from cubic to tetragonal phase. Fabrication of undoped PbTiO3 ceramics via sol-gel processing was very much affected by the PbO content of the samples as well as PbO vapor from sintering atmosphere. Excess PbO was found to promote rapid grain growth in PbTiO3 ceramics. After sintering at 1100$^{\circ}C$ average grain size of PbTiO3 ceramics with excess PbO was about 8 times greater than that of stoichiometric composition, which may be due to PbO liquid phase from excess PbO.

Ti-45.2at.%Ni-5at.%Cu and Ti-40.2at.%Ni-10atat.%Cu alloy powders were fabricated by gas atomization process. The microstructures, Shape, hardness and phase transformation behaviors of the powders were investigated by means of optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, micro-hardness measurement, x-ray diffraction analyses and differential scanning calorimetry. The hardness of the Ti-Ni-XCu alloy powders decreased as Cu-content increased. The x-ray diffraction analyses were carried out for powders without heat treatment, and those that treated at 85$0^{\circ}C$ for an hour in a vaccum state($10^5$ torr) and then quenched into ice water. The intensity of B$19^t$ phase increased with heat treating. The monoclinic B$19^t$ martensite was formed in the Ti-Ni-XCu alloy powders during cooling.

Microstructure and mechanical properties of $(Ti_{1-x}Alx)N$ films, Produced by the the Ion Beam Sputtering(IBS) method, were studied by changing the Ti, Al contents. The compositions of films determined by RBS were $(Ti_{0.75}Al_{0.25})N$, $(Ti_{0.61}Al_{0.39})N$ and $(Ti_{0.5}Al_{0.5})N$, and XPS binding energies of Ti2P, A12p and N1s shifted to higher energies than those of pure Ti, Al and N, which indicated that nitrides were formed. XRD results indicated that the NaCl structure for $$x{\leq_-}0.39$$ changed into amorphous structure at x=0.5. For films with $$x{\leq_-}0.39$$, the lattice parameter decreased in proportion to the Al content. Nanoindentation hardness value were above HV=3300 at Al content up to x=0.39. However, the hardness of films with x=0.5 abruptly decreased to HV=1800, and this lower hardness values were attributed to different crystal structure. Critical load(Lc) in scratch test showed 23N at x=0.25, 22N at x=0.39 and 22N at x=0.5, which indicated that films with different Al contents showed similar adhesion behavior.
