A study on microstructures of welds for Zircaloy-4 sheath end closure by the resistance upset welding methods was carried out. Two upset welding process variations such as magnetic farce and multi-impulse resistance welding were used. Grain size and microhardness across welds were analysed in terms of welding parameters. Magnetic farce resistance weld with one cycle of unbalanced mode has smaller upset length and $\alpha-grain$ size in heat affected zone than those of multi-impulse resistance weld because of lower heat input and shorter welding time. Heat affected zone formed by two upset resistance welding variations revealed fine Widmanstatten structure or martensitic ${\alpha}'$ structure due to the high heating rate and foster cooling rate. Magnetic force resistance welds showed recrystallized grains before grain growth, whereas multi-impulse resistance welds showed full grain growth.

Ti-6Ai-4V 합금의 미세조직을 용체화처리온도 및 냉각속도만의 변화로서 Widmanstatten 조직과 이중조직을 얻은 후 이들 미세조직과 인장성질고의 비교. 검토를 통해서 최적 열처리 방안을 설정하고자 하였다. 그 결과 Widmanstatten 조직에 있어서는 열처리온도나 냉각속도에 따라 복잡하고 무질서한 dege형상의 $\alpha$상 및 등축화된 $\alpha$상으로변화시킬 수 있었으며, $\alpha$+$\beta$ 영역에서 2중 용체화 처리의 경우 1차 및 2차 용체화처리 온도가 낮을수록 aspect비는 작아짐을 알 수 있었다. 인장성질에 있어서 Widmanstatten 조직은 이중조직에 비해 강도는 감소하고 연성성질 또한 크게 감소하였으며, 파단양상 Widmanstatten 조직의 경우 준벽개와 dimple형 파단양상이 함께 나타나는 반면 이중조직은 연성파괴를 나타내었다. 또한 이중조직의 파단면을 인장축에 수직인 내부균열영역과 45˚ 정도의 전단각을 갖는 shear lip영역으로 나누어 관찰할 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the microstucture and hardness, corrosion of pure Ti alloy, which is widely used as partial denture frame work these days, depending on the cooling method, followed by casting. The first group was bench cooling at room temperature($18^{\circ}C$), the second group was slowly cooled in the furnace from $700^{\circ}C$ to room temperature, and third. rapidly cooled in $0^{\circ}C$ water. The microstructure of each specimen observed by means of photomicrograph taken by electron microscope, in add to the physical characteristics of each specimen were obtained using the rockwell Hardnest Number. the characteristics of corrosion. The results were obtained as follows: 1. From Potentiodynamic plot. we conclude furnace-cooled specimen had the best stabiltity of passive film and that air-cooled specimen showed similar characteristics. The density of electric current of quenched specimen was the highest, which formed kind of unstable passive film. 2. Specimen cooled at room temperature (air cooling) had the highest value of hardness of 81.26HRB, specimen cooled at ice-water, $0^{\circ}C$, had the value of 78.42HRB, and specimen furnace-cooled at $700^{\circ}C$ had lowest value of 77.1HRB. 3. Quenching treated micro-structure formed martensite structure by and large. In case of air cooling, we could see $\alpha$-structure widmanstatten formed overall. In furnace cooling, widmanstatten structure and various shape $\alpha$-structures forming colony with direction were detected.

In the present study the effect of cooling rate during solidification on the microstructural characteristics of Al-xAg (x = 31, 33, 35 at.%) in-situ binary eutectic composites has been investigated. To provide a wide range of cooling rate three different casting techniques, i.e. conventional casting, injection casting, and melt spinning have been used. The observed microstructure is very much dependent on the cooling rate. The fcc ${\alpha}$-Al and hcp $Ag_2Al$ phases exhibits an orientation of (111)Al//(0001)$Ag_2Al$, [1-10]Al//[11- 20]$Ag_2Al$. The microstructure of the melt-spun samples contains Widmanstatten structure resulting from solid-state transformation and nano scale two-phase structure resulting from solid-state phase separation. The microstructure of injection-cast samples contains eutectic structure and solid state phase-separated structure. On the other hand, conventional-cast samples exhibit a microstructure consisted of plate-type eutectic structure.

In the study of iron artifacts, microstructure investigation is an indispensable step to find out the manufacturing method and skill. The iron weapons that we have excavated and investigated at the ruins of Gohyun Castle site, Hadong-gun, Kyungnam Province are traced to the era of Choson Dynasty. By sampling specimens of some artifacts, we have made microstructure investigation and component analysis of them. For microstructure investigation we used metallographic microscopes, and for component analysis we used the methods of C/S analysis and Inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry (ICP) analysis which is designed to verify components and contenets of a very small amount elememt. Microstructure of the artifacts is mainly divided into three parts. Inner part is Widmanstatten, a typical overheated structure, upon which we can see another part with fine grains and with extremely small quantities of carbon. And on the surface, there is a carbonized part. When the shape is formed through forging process at a high temperature the carbon content of the surface is getting down and the grains come to be finer. Next, carbonizing process is to be done for hardening the surface, which is followed by cooling process. Cooling rates seem to be different from artifacts to artifacts. All artifacts have clearly distinguishable grain boundaries in their unique structure. Since this kind of structure is rarely found, it seems to offer a clue to find out the manufacturing method. The outcome of component analysis is almost the same with that of microstructure investigation. As is demonstrated by C/S analysis, carbon content is 0.39-1.24% and sulfur is contained 0.0005-0.010%.
