적외선 광온도계(IR optical thermometer)와 PID 온도조절기에 의해 소성온도와 시간을 정밀하게 조절할 수 있는 마이크로파 소성장치를 사용하여 BaTiO3 시편을 소성하였다. 또한 마이크로파 소성중에 광섬유 온도계(optical fiber thermoneter)로 시편의 내부온도를 측정하여 같은 조건에서의 일반소성에 의한 시편과 소성특성을 비교한 결과, 소성시간에 따른 빠른 입성장속도과 큰 결정립경을 가졌으며, 온도에 따른 유전성질의 변화는 20~16$0^{\circ}C$의 측정범위에서 같은 경향을 보였다.

In this study, to increase the strength and enhance the sintering property of $Al_2O_3$, $Y_2O_3$ and $La_2O_3$ were added; the effects of these additions on the sintering characteristics of $Al_2O_3$ were observed. Adding 1% of $Y_2O_3$ to $Al_2O_3$ repressed the development of abnormal particles and reduced the grain boundary migration of $Al_2O_3$, curbing pores to capture particles; as such, the material showed a fine microstructure. But, when over 2% of $Y_2O_3$ was added, the sintering property was reduced because of abnormal particle grain growth and pore formation in particles. Adding 1% of $Y_2O_3$ and $La_2O_3$ to $Al_2O_3$ led to the development of abnormal particles and formed pores in the particles; when over 3% of $La_2O_3$ was added, the sintering property was reduced because the shape of the $Al_2O_3$ particles changed to angled plates.

Nanopowder of FeAl and $Al_2O_3$ was synthesized from FeO and Al powders by high energy ball milling. Using the pulsed current activated sintering method, the nanocystalline $Al_2O_3$ reinforced FeAl composite was consolidated within two minutes from mechanically synthesized powders. The advantage of this process is that it allows very quick densification to near theoretical density and prohibits grain growth in nanostuctured materials. The grain size, sintering behavior and hardness of sintered $FeAl-Al_2O_3$ composite were investigated.

In order to study on fatigue crack retardation and retardation mechanism in variable loading, the effects of crack tip branching in fatigue crack growth retardation were examined. The characteristics of crack tip banching behavior was considered to micro structure. It was examined that the variation of crack tip branching angle. Crack tip branching was observed along the grain boundary of ferrite and pearlite structure. It was found that the abanching angle ranges from 25 to 53 degrees. Using the finite element method, the variable of crack driving force to branching angle was examined. The effective crack driving force ( $K_{\eff}$ ) decreased as the braching angle increases. The rate of decrease was 33% for the kinked type and 29% for the forked one. It was confirmed that the effect of crack tip branching is a very important factor in fatigue crack growth retardation. Therefore, crack branching effect should be considered building the hypoth- etical model to predict crack growth retardation.

We investigated the effect of excess CuO on the sintering behavior, ferroelectric, and piezoelectric properties of lead-free $Bi_{0.5}(Na_{0.82}K_{0.18})_{0.5}TiO_3$ (BNKT) ceramics. The addition of excess CuO was found to greatly contribute to the densification and grain growth, however, excess CuO over 3 mol% was precipitated at grain boundaries after sintering. BNKT with 1~2 mol% CuO in excess sintered at $975^{\circ}C$ showed piezoelectric properties comparable to those of unmodified BNKT sintered at $1,175^{\circ}C$. These results seem meaningful for its application to low cost multilayer actuators (MLAs) because low firing ceramics make it possible to apply less expensive base metals to the inner electrode of MLAs.

Zr 합금의 재결정 거동 및 미세조직 변화에 미치는 열처리 온도 및 시간의 영향의 조사하기위하여 순수 Zr과 Zircaloy-4, Zr-0.88n-0.4Nb-0.4Fe-0.2Cu, Zr-1Nb 합금을 냉간가공한 후 $400^{\circ}C$~$900^{\circ}C$에서 각각 30분~5000분 동안 열처리하였다. 열처리 온도에 따른 Zr합금의 경도, 미세조직 및 석출물 특성을 미소경도기, 광학 현미경 및 투과 전자 현미경을 이용하여 조사하였다. 냉간 가공채는 $400^{\circ}C$에서 $600^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 재결정이 일어났는 데 합금원소가 증가함에 따라 재결정온도가 상승했고 결정립 성장이 억제되었다. 그리고 합금원소 증가에 따른 경도증가 영향이 재결정 이후에도 지속되었다. 열처리 온도 및 시간에 비례하여 재결정 이후 결정립 크기는 증가한 반면 경도변화는 상대적으로 미미하였다. Fe나 Cu가 Zr에 첨가될 경우 회복중 경도증가가 수반되는데, 이는 회복중 생성과 관련이 있는 것으로 사료된다.

The effect of TiO$_2$ on the sintering behavior of mixed UO$_2$-U$_3$O$_{8}$ Powder compacts has been investigated using the U$_{3}$O$_{8}$ powder made tv oxidation of defective UO$_{2}$ pellets. Without TiO$_2$, UO$_2$ pellet density is inversely proportional to U$_3$O$_{8}$ content and is below 94 %TD in the U$_3$O$_{8}$ range above 15 wt%. Using more than 0.1 wt % TiO$_2$, however, the density decreases slightly with U$_3$O$_{8}$ content and thus is higher than about 94% TD in the whole range of U$_3$O$_{8}$ content. The grain sizes of UO$_2$ pellets with more than 0.1 wt % TiO$_2$are larger than about 30${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Therefore, the U$_3$O$_{8}$ Powder can be reused without any restriction on its amount in UO$_2$ pellet fabrication by sintering the mixed UO$_2$-U$_3$O$_{8}$ compact with the aid of TiO$_2$. Mechanisms for densification and grain growth are proposed and discussed, based on a dilatometry study and an examination of microstructure. microstructure.

Chromium-carbon (Cr-C) and chromium-carbon-phosphorus (Cr-C-P) alloy deposits using trivalent chromium sulfate baths containing potassium formate were prepared to study their current efficiency, hardness change and phase transformations behavior with heat treatment, respectively. The current efficiencies of Cr-C and Cr-C-P alloy deposits increase with increasing current density in the range of 15-35 A/dm$^2$. Carbon content of Cr-C and phosphorous of Cr-C-P layers decreases with increasing current density, whereas, the carbon content of Cr-C-P layer is almost constant with the current density. Cr-C deposit shows crystallization at $400^{\circ}C$ and has (Cr+Cr$_{ 23}$$C_{6}$) phases at $800^{\circ}C$. Cr-C-P deposit shows crystallization at $600^{\circ}C$ and has (Cr+Cr$_{23}$ $C_{6}$$+Cr_3$P) phases at $800^{\circ}C$. The hardness of Cr-C and Cr-C-P deposits after heating treatment for one hour increase up to Hv 1640 and Hv 1540 and decrease about Hv 820 and Hv 1270 with increasing annealing temperature in the range of $400～^{\circ}C$, respectively. The hardness change with annealing is due to the order of occurring of chromium crystallization, precipitation hardening effect, softening and grain growth with temperature. Less decrease of hardness of Cr-C-P deposit after annealing above $700^{\circ}C$ is related to continuous precipitation of $Cr_{23}$ $C_{6}$ and $Cr_3$P phases which retard grain growth at the temperature.

The $Y_2O_3$ ceramics have been widely used as plasma resistant materials in the semiconductor industry. In this study, composites made of plasma resistant $Y_2O_3$ and electrically conductive carbon have been produced. The electrical properties of this composite were measured with respect to the size, volume fraction of the conductive carbon phase, and sintering temperature. When micro-sized carbon was used, the composites were insulating up to 5 wt% addition of the carbon. However, when nano-sized carbon of around 60 ~100 nm was used, the composites became conductive over threshold volume fraction of carbon, which increased with increasing sintering temperature. This behavior of electrical conductivity of the composites was discussed in terms of the percolation theory. The percolation threshold of the conductivity seemed to be affected by the grain growth and coalescences of dispersed conductive carbon phases with grain growth of matrix $Y_2O_3$.

This study was undertaken to understand the formation mechanism of the hard spots in high strength brass. To investigate the behavior of the hard spots in the isothermal liquid state with varying silicon content, the rapidly quenched specimens were obtained by suctioning the melt into the silica tube and water quenching. To examine the growth process of the hard spots with holding time, the unidirectional solidification technique was used. The results of this study are summarized as follows: 1) With the addition of Fe in order to get the effects of grain refinement in high strength brass, the two different type of Fe-rich phases are occurred, which are defined as dendritic and globular phase. The chemical composition of the globular phase was different from that of the dendritic phase in that the globular phase contained Si. 2) With increasing Si content, the Fe-rich phase had a tendency to form globular phase. 3) As the holding time increased in the liquid state, globular was also prone to coalesce. The further growth of globular phase to large size was due to reducing the interfacial energy. 4) The primary phase of copper alloy was nucleated preferentially on the dendritic phase. It was noticeable that the dendritic phase acted as a grain refiner. However, the agglomerate (hard spots) which was composed of the globular phase decreased the mechanical properties of high strength brass. 5) Once the hard spots formed in the high strength brass casting, it was very difficult to remove them. This is due to the fact that their meting temperature is higher than the pouring temperature of high strength brass.
