The W-Cu composite powders were synthesized from W and Cu elemental powders by ball-milling process, and their microstructural changes and sintering behaviors were evaluated. The ball milling process was carried out in a 3-dimensional mixer (Turbula mixer) using zirconic ($ZrO_2$) ball and alumina ($Al_2O_3$) vial up to 300 hrs. The ball-milled W-Cu powders revealed nearly spherical shape. Microstructure of the composite powders showed onion-like structure which consists of W and Cu shells due to the moving characteristic of Turbula mixer. The W and Cu elements in the composite powders milled for 300 hrs were homogeneously distributed, and W grain size in the ball-milled powder was smaller than 0.5 $\mu\textrm{m}$. Fe impurity introduced during ball milling process was very low as of 0.001 wt%. The relative sintered density of ball-milled W-Cu specimens reached about 94% after sintering at $1100^{\circ}C$.

The Pb(Zr/sub 0.52/Ti/sub 0.48/)O₃/(Ba/sub 0.6/Sr/sub 0.4/)TiO₃[PZT/BST] heterolayered thin films were deposited on Pt/Ti/SiO₂/Si substrates by using the RF sputtering method with different RF power. The PZT/BST heterolayered thin films had the tetragonal structure of the PZT phase and BST phase. Increasing the RF power. the intensity of the PZT (100), (110) peaks and BST (111) peaks were decreased and the intensity of the BST (100), (110) peaks were increased. The thickness ratio of the top layered BST thin film and the bottom layered PZT thin film was 2 to1. The atomic concentration of the Ba, Sr, Pb. Zr, Ti atoms were constant in the PZT thin films and BST thin films, respectively. The Pt atom was diffused to the PZT region in the PZT/BST heterolayered thin films deposited at condition of 60[W] RF power. Increasing the frequency, dielectric constant and loss of the PZT/BST heterolayered thin films were decreased. The dielectric constant and loss of the PZT/BST heterolayered thin films deposited with RF power of 90[W] were 406 and 3%, respectively.

Performing thermal transient test on electric initiator with SUS 304 bridgewire(diameter 2.3mil) and $Zr-KClO_4$ primary charge and analysing the test data using Fitted Wire Model shows that the thermal characteristic parameter related to primary charge is changed sharply around $300^{\circ}C$. It is determined that this phenomenon is due to endothermic reaction from phase transition of $KClO_4$, which is used as primary charge, and to physical change of thermal transient interface between bridgewire and primary charge. With this results, useful temperature range for the parameter obtained from thermal transient test can be suggested.

In this study, in order to develop the composition ceramics for low loss multilayer piezoelectric actuator application, $Pb(Zn_{1/2}W_{1/2})O_3-Pb(Mn_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})O_3-Pb(Zr,Ti)O_3$ (abbreviated as PZW-PMN-PZT)ceramics according to the amount of $MnO_2$ addition were fabricated using two-stage calcinations method. And also, their dielectric and piezoelectric properties were investigated. At the 0.2 wt% $MnO_2$ added PZW-PMN-PZT ceramics sintered at $930^{\circ}C$, density, electromechanical coupling factor $k_p$, dielectric constant ${\varepsilon}_r$, piezoelectric $d_{33}$ constant and mechanical quality factor $Q_m$ showed the optimum value of $7.84g/cm^3$, 0.543, 1,392, 318.7 pC/N, 1,536, respectively for low loss multilayer ceramics actuator application.

The properties of piezoelectric and dielectric for 0.05Pb(Mn$\_$0.4/W$\_$0.2/Nb$\_$0.4/)O$_3$ - 0.95PbZr$\_$x/Ti$\_$1-x/O$_3$ compositions have been investigated. In the composition of 0.05Pb(Mn$\_$0.4/W$\_$0.2/Nb$\_$0.4/)O$_3$ - 0.95PbZr$\_$0.51/Ti$\_$0.49/O$_3$, the values of k$\_$p/ and $\varepsilon$$\_$33/$\^$T// $\varepsilon$$\_$0/ are maximized, but Q$\_$m/ was minimized (k$\_$p/=56.5[%], Q$\_$m/=1130, d$\_$33/=258[pC/N], $\varepsilon$$\_$33/$\^$T// $\varepsilon$$\_$0/=1170). The grain size was suppressed and the uniformity of grain was improved at the 1100[˚C]. Also, we can see the dielectric constants variations between the before poling and after poling. This effect results from the effect(increase element of dielectric constants) between dipole switching and electrostriction inducing stress and dipole direction to the poling orientation(decrease element of dielectric constants). At x=0.51, we can find MPB(morphotropic phase boundary).

The dental orthodontic wire provides a good combination of strength, corrosion resistance and moderate cost. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of TiN and ZrN coating on corrosion resistance and physical property of orthodontic wire using various instruments. Wires(round type and rectangular type) were used, respectively, for experiment. Ion plating was carried out for wire using Ti and Zr coating materials with nitrogen gas. Ion plated surface of each specimen was observed with field emission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS), atomic force microscopy(AFM), vickers hardness tester, and electrochemical tester. The surface of TiN and ZrN coated wire was more smooth than that of other kinds of non-coated wire. TiN and ZrN coated surface showed higher hardness than that of non-coated surface. The corrosion potential of the TiN coated wire was comparatively high. The current density of TiN coated wire was smaller than that of non-coated wire in 0.9% NaCl solution. Pit nucleated at scratch of wire. The pitting corrosion resistance $|E_{pit}-E_{rep}|$ increased in the order of ZrN coated(300 mV), TiN coated(120 mV) and non-coated wire(0 mV).

$Pb_{0.99}[(Zr_{0.6}Sn_{0.4})_{0.9}Ti_{0.1}]_{0.98}Nb_{0.02}O_3(PNZST)$ thin films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering on $(La_{0.5}Sr_{0.5})CoO_3(LSCO)/Pt/Ti/SiO_2/Si$ substrate using a PNZST target with excess PbO of 10 mole%. The thin films deposited at substrate temperature of $500^{\circ}C$, and at RF power of 80W were crystallized to a perovskite phase after rapid thermal annealing(RTA). The thin films annealed at $650^{\circ}C$ for 10 seconds in air exhibited the good structures and electrical properties. The fabricated PNZST capacitor had a remanent polarization value of about $20\;{\mu}C/cm^2$ and coercive field of about 50 kV/cm. The reduction of the polarization after $2.2{\times}10^9$ switching cycles was less than 10%.

Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) launched an intermediate scale steam explosion experiment named Test for Real cOrium Interaction with water (TROI) using reactor material to investigate whether the corium would lead to energetic steam explosion when interacted with cold water at low pressure. The melt-water interaction is confined in a pressure vessel with the multi-dimensional fuel and water pool geometry. The cold crucible technology, where the mixture of powder in a water-cooled cage is heated by high frequency induction, is employed. In this paper, results of the first series of tests ($TROI-1{\sim}5$) were discussed. The ZrO2 jets with 5kg mass and 5cm diameter were poured into the 67cm deep water pool at $30{\sim}95^{\circ}C$. Either spontaneous steam explosions or quenching was observed. The morphology of debris and pressure wave profiles clearly indicates the each case.
