MoN-Cu thin films were prepared to achieve appropriate properties of high hardness and low friction coefficient, which could be applied to automobile engine parts for reducing energy consumption as well as solving wear problems. Composite thin films of MoN-Cu have been deposited by various processes using multiple targets such as Mo and Cu. However, those deposition with multiple targets revealed demerits such as difficulties in exact control of composition and homogeneous deposition. This study is aiming for suggesting an appropriate process to solve those problems. A single alloying target of Mo-Cu (10 at%) was prepared by powder metallurgy methods of mechanical alloying (MA) and spar plasma sintering (SPS). Thin film of MoN-Cu was then deposited by magnetron sputtering using the single alloying target of Mo-Cu (10 at%). Properties of the resulting MoN-Cu thin film were examined and compared to those of MoN-Cu thin films prepared with double targets of Mo and Cu.

영구자석 재료용 Sr-ferrite의 제조에 mechanical alloying (기계적 합금화)기술을 적용해서 초미세 결정립으로 구성된 고보자력의 Sr-ferrite를 제조해서 높은 보자력을 실현할 수 있는 것으로 보고하고 있다[1]. 그러나 이 새로운 방법으로 제조한 Sr-ferrite는 높은 보자력을 갖기는 하지만, 대단히 미세한 결정립들이 결합하여 입자를 구성하고 있어 자장을 가해서 입자를 배향시키기가 어렵다. 따라서 이 재료는 등방성 분말로 밖에 이용할 수 없는 결정적인 문제점이 있다. (중략)

Thermoelectric $Zn_{4}Sb_3$ alloy powders were synthesized from elemental powders by mechanical alloying process and consolidated by hot pressing under controlled atmosphere. Single phase $Zn_{4}Sb_3$ was not obtained using a nominal stoichiometric composition, but near single phase $Zn_{4}Sb_3$ with remnant elemental Zn having a relatively high density was produced using a nominally 11.7 $at.\%$ Zn rich powders. Phase transformations during mechanical alloying were systematically investigated using XRD and SEM. Thermoelectric and transport properties were evaluated for the hot pressed specimens and compared with results of analogous studies.

The glass formation behavior was investigated in the melt spun Zr-Ti-Cu-Ni-X (X=B, P and Si) ribbons. The magnitude of supercooled liquid region of Zr-Ti-Cu-Ni alloy increased with an addition of alloying element. The glass transition temperature and the crystallization temperature increased and the magnitude of supercooled liquid region decreased with increasing the content of alloying elements. The largest supercooled liquid region was observed in the Si containing alloy. This is believed to be due to the dense atom packing with the optimum atomic size ratio of constituent elements.

440A martensitic stainless steels which were modified with reduced carbon content(~0.5wt.%) and addition of small amount of vanadium, tungsten and molybdenum 0.4wt.%, 0.4wt.% and 0.68wt.% respectively were manufactured. Effects of alloying elements and tempering temperatures on the intergranular corrosion were investigated through the method of DL-EPR(Double-electrochemical potentiodynamic reactivation). It was thought that the highest DOS(Degree of sensitization) of specimens was obtained at the tempering temperature of $450^{\circ}C$ regardless of types of alloy because of the precipitation of Cr7C3. Addition of vanadium lowered DOS a little above the tempering temperature of $550^{\circ}C$. It was considered to be effected by precipitation of VC carbides. Intergranular corrosion was influenced more by tempering temperature than by alloying elements of V, W and Mo.

The semiconducting ${\beta}-FeSi_2$ compound has been recognized as a thermoelectric material with excel-lent oxidation resistance and stable characteristics at elevated temperature. In the present work, we applied mechanical alloying(MA) technique to produce ${\beta}-FeSi_2$ compound using a mixture of elemental iron and silicon powders. The mechanical alloying was carried out using a Fritsch P-5 planetary mill under Ar gas atmosphere. The MA powders were characterized by the X-ray diffraction with Cu-K $\alpha$ radiation, thermal analysis and scanning electron microscopy. The single ${\beta}-FeSi_2$ phase has been obtained by mechanical alloying of $Fe_{33}Si_{67}$ mixture powders for 120 hrs or for 70 hrs coupled with the subsequent heat treatment up to $700^{\circ}C$. The grain size of ${\beta}-FeSi_2$ powders analyzed by Hall plot method was 44nm.

Skutterudite $CoSb_3$ powders were produced by mechanical alloying (MA) of elemental powders using a nominal stoichiometric composition. Annealing of MA powders under specific condition led to a complete phase transformation to a semiconducting ${\delta}-CoSb_3$. Single phase $CoSb_3$ was successfully produced by vacuum hot pressing using MA powders without subsequent annealing. Phase transformations during mechanical alloying and hot pressing were systematically investigated using XRD and SEM. Thermoelectric properties as a function of temperature were evaluated for the hot pressed specimens and compared with results of analogous studies.

The ohmic contact behavior in HEMT structure was compared with that in MESFET one throughout the specific contact resistance and microstructural change in both structures. A Au-Ge-Ni based metallization scheme was used and the alloying temperature of the ohmic materials was changed from 330\ulcorner to 550\ulcorner. The alloying temperature to obtain the minimum specific contact resistance in HEMT structure was 60k higher than that in MESFET. The volume fraction of NiAs (Ge) in MESFET structure increases with alloying temperature and/or the alloying time, which makes the decrease of specific contact resistance at the initial stage of ohmic metallization. In contrast, the volume fraction of NiAs(Ge) in HEMT structure was not dependent upon the specific contact resistance, which implies that the ohmic contacts are dominantly formed by the Ge diffusion to 2-DEG(two dimensional electron gas) layer.

The effect of alloying elements on the creep resistance of Zr alloys was investigated using thermal creep tests that were performed as a part of advanced fuel cladding development. The creep tests were conducted at 40$0^{\circ}C$ and 150 MPa for 240 hr. A statistical model was derived from the relationship between the steady-state creep rate and the content of individual alloying elements. The creep strengthening effect decreased in the following sequence : Nb, Sn, Mn, Cr, Mo, Fe and Cu. The high creep resistance of Sn and the opposite effect of Fe on zirconium alloys seem to be associated with their lowering and enhancing, respectively, the self-diffusivity of the zirconium matrix.

Stainless steel are widely applicable in various engineering fields for its exellent corrosion and impact ressistance. Austenitic weld metal has some ferrite for preventing solidification cracking by ASME specification. Several family of austenic stainless steel contains varying ferrite contents. But ferrite in austenic stainless steels is adversely affect weld metal toughness and since fully austenic grades are known to have good toughness. Austenic stainless steel has various alloying addition for improving corrosion resistance, impact toughness and solidification crack resistance. The effect of various alloying elements are not found to be clear in present. From this view of point, this study tried to establish the criteria of alloy design for austenic stainless steel by controlling primary solidification mode and clarifying the effect of several alloying elements.
