This study presents a simple method to control the seed orientation which leads to the various growth characteristics of a single grain REBCO (RE: rare-earth elements) bulk superconductors. Seed orientation was varied systematically from c-axis to a-axis with every 30 degree rotation around b-axis. Orientations of a REBCO single grain was successfully controlled by placing the seed with various angles on the prismatic indent prepared on the surface of REBCO powder compacts. Growth pattern was changed from cubic to rectangular when the seed orientation normal to compact surface was varied from c-axis to a-axis. Macroscopic shape change has been explained by the variation of the wetting angle of un-reacted melt depending on the interface energy between $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-y}$ (Y123) grain and melt. Higher magnetic levitation force was obtained for the specimen prepared using tilted seed with an angle of 30 degree rotation around b-axis.

The characterization and sintering behavior of ZnO powders prepared by precipitation method were investigated. ZnO powders were synthesized using the aqueous solutions of ZnCl2 and NH4OH as a precipitation agent, which were crystallized in the shape of plate-like. The grain growth of ZnO(0.68${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, 1.3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and 3.4${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) has been studied for temepratures from 100$0^{\circ}C$ to 130$0^{\circ}C$, and the rate of densification was inversely proportional to the ZnO particle size. Densification proceeded slowly by diffusion mechanisms above at 100$0^{\circ}C$. In this work, the grain growth kinetic exponent(n) was 3. The temperature dependence of ZnO grain growth was plotted, and the activation energy of grain growth was 75~85Kcal/mol.

A micromechanical model is presented for superplasticity in which heterogeneous microstructures are coupled with deformation behavior. The effects of initial distributions of grain size, and their evolutions on the mechanical properties can be predicted by the model. Alternative stress rate models such as Jaumann rate and rotation incremental rate have been employed to analyze uniaxial loading and simple shear problems and the appropriate modeling was studied on the basis of hypoelasticity and elasto-viscoplasticity. The model has been implemented into finite element software so that full process simulation can be carried out. Tests have been conducted on Ti-6Al-4V alloy and the microstructural features such as grain size, distributions of grain size, and volume fraction of each phase were examined for the materials that were tested at different strain rates. The experimentally observed stress-strain behavior on a range of initial grain size distributions has been shown to be correctly predicted. In addition, the effect of volume fraction of the phases and concurrent grain growth were analyzed. The dependence of failure strain on strain rate has been explained in terms of the change in mechanism of grain growth that occurs with changing strain rate.

The effect of excess PbO(0, 1, 2, 4, and 8 mol%) on grain growth and densification of (65)Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-(35)PbTiO3 [mol%] ceramics has been investigaetd. With increasing the amount of excess PbO and sintering time, densities of sintered samples decreased gradually. The samples containing less than 1 mol% of PbO showed normal grain growth behavior, however abnormal grain growth was observed to occur in the samples with more than 2 mol% of PbO. In the samples with more than 2 mol% of PbO, the number of abnormal grains decreased and thus the average grain size became smaller with increasing the amount of excess PbO. These results demonstrated that the abnormal grain growth started to occur when a critical amount of excess PbO was added to a (65)Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-(35)PbTiO3 sample. Since PMN-PT grains in a liquid matrix were angular, the observed abnormal grain growth was explained to proceed through the two dimensional nucleation process.

$BaTiO_3$세라믹에서 미세구조를 조절하기 위하여 Ba/Ti비 변화에 따른 소결거동 및 비정상 입자성장에 대하여 연구하였다. 본 연구에서 사용한 $BaTiO_3$분말은 $BaCO_3$와 $TiO_2$를 이용하여 일반적인 고상반응법으로 제조하였다. Ba/Ti비가 감소할수록(과잉 $TiO_2$가 증가할수록)소결 시작온도가 낮아졌으며 치밀화가 증진되었다. 이것은 과잉 $TiO_2$양이 증가할수록 하소된 분말의 크기가 감소되었기 때문으로 판단되며, 공융액상 형성으로 인한 액상소결에 의한 것이 아님을 알 수 있었다. 또한 과잉 $TiO_2$양이 증가할수록 입자성장이 강력하게 억제되었으며, 이는 Ti-rich 이차상이 입자성장을 억제시킴을 의미한다. 따라서 이러한 이차상의 불균일한 분포로 인하여 비정상 입자성장이 일어나는 것으로 판단되었다.

Al₂O₃ 다공체는 필터 및 촉매 담체 등으로 활용되며 그 기능성과 내구성을 확보하기 위해서는 다공성 구조의 기계적 강도가 중요하다. 소결 중 치밀화 및 입자성장을 유리하게 제어하는 것이 기계적 강도 향상에 필수적이며, 본 연구에서는 그 일환으로 La을 첨가하여 동결주조로 성형된 Al₂O₃ 다공체의 입자성장 양상을 분석하였다. 즉, 250 ppm의 La을 첨가한 계에서 1400℃에서 1600℃에 이르는 온도 범위 내에서 소결 시간 및 온도에 대한 평균입도 변화를 관찰하여 G_tⁿ-G₀ⁿ = kt 관계로부터 exponent(n 값)은 3으로, k = k₀exp(-E_a/RT)로부터 입자성장에 대한 활성화 에너지(E_a)는 489.09 kJ/mol로 각각 계산되었다. 이러한 결과는 입자성장에 대한 La의 첨가 효과를 나타내며, La이 Al₂O₃의 입계 이동속도를 늦춰 입자성장의 억제에 효과가 있음을 방증하므로 기계적 강도에 이롭다. 한편, 향후 원료 분말에 함께 포함되어 있는 미량의 불순물 작용을 관찰하면 La의 기여를 명확히 구분할 수 있으며, 이러한 접근은 향후 다공성 Al₂O₃에서 입자성장을 제어하는데 사용될 수 있는 첨가제를 선택하는 데 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.

The microstructural changes of Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloy containing Sc during hot extrusion and post heat treatment is investigated. Two kinds of Al-Sc alloys with different alloying elements (B1, B2) are hot extruded to make I-shape bars at 380$^{\circ}C$, then the bars are solution treated at 480$^{\circ}C$ for 2hrs followed by artificial aging at 120$^{\circ}C$ for 24hrs. The interior microstructure of as extruded bar consists of elongated grains, however, fine equiaxed grains are mainly observed around surface. The microstructural gradient suggests that different restoration process can proceed during the hot extrusion. For B1 and B2, different grain growth behaviors are found around the surface during the post heat treatment. Rapid grain growth behavior around the surface is discussed related with the crystallographic orientation of the grain.

Three point bending tests of single edge notched beam (SENB) specimens were carried out to evaluate the fracture behavior of the fine-grain isotropic nuclear grade graphite, IG-11. To measure the crack initiation point and the subsequent crack growth, the direct current potential drop (DCPD) method and a traveling microscope were used. The effects of test variables like initial crack length, specimen thickness, notch type and loading rate on the measured fracture toughness, $K_Q$, were investigated. Based on the test results, the ranges of the test variables to measure the reliable fracture toughness value were proposed. During the crack growth, the rising R-curve behavior was observed in IG-11 graphite when the superficial crack length measured on the specimen surface was used. The increase of crack growth resistance was discussed in terms of crack bridging, crack meandering, crack branching, microcracking and crack deflection, which increase the surface energy and friction force.

A metallurgical model for bainite transformation kinetics in the coarse-grained heat affected zone(CGHAZ) on the basis of an Avrami-type equation was studied. Isothermal transformation tests were carried out to obtain the empirical equations for incubation time and Avrami kinetic constants for C-Mn-Mo-Ni steel. The effect of prior austenite grain size(PAGS) on the reaction rate of bainite was also investigated. Compared with experimental transformation behavior of bainite, the predicted behavior was in good agreement. It was also found that a smaller grain size retard the bainite reaction rate, contrary to the classical grain size effect and this is considered to be caused by constraint of grain size to bainite growth.

Mg-(9-x)Sn-xAl-1Zn (x=1, 2, 3 and 4 wt.%) alloys were subjected to indirect extrusion, and the microstructure and mechanical properties of the as-extruded Mg-Sn-Al-Zn (TAZ) alloys were investigated. The TAZ 811 alloy exhibited a finer grain structure than the TAZ 541 alloy due to a larger number of Mg2Sn particles, which pinned the grain boundaries and prevented growth of recrystallized grains. The TAZ alloys showed an unusual yield asymmetry behavior. The tension-compression yield asymmetry increased with decreasing average grain size. The TAZ 811 alloy with a small grain size exhibited a larger yield asymmetry than that of the TAZ 541 alloy having a relatively large grain size, which is mainly attributed to the low Al content and large number of second phase particles in the TAZ 811 alloy.
