Characteristics of microstructures, mechanical properties and formability of two Al-20Si-5Fe-2Ni alloys produced by gas atomizing (P/M) and spray forming (S/F) respectively were compared at temperatures up to $560^{\circ}C$. Room temperature hardness values and tensile strengths of both alloys were increased in accordance with temperature after heat treatment above $300^{\circ}C$. The highest values of hardness and tensile strength of both alloys were obtained at $490^{\circ}C$. It was interpreted that increase in hardness and tensile strength according to heating temperature between $300{\sim}490^{\circ}C$ was mainly related to increase in internal stress between Al matrix and reprecipitated particles. S/F alloys showed better formability and wear property than P/M alloys due to the homogenity of microstructures above $300^{\circ}C$.

Solid oxide electrolytes of the MCe1-xGdxO3-x/2 (M: Ba, Mg. x=0.0-0.20) system were prepared using powders synthesized by the "liquid mix" method and calcined from the cross-linked polyacrylic polymer. The specimens were analyzed using XRD and SEM with EDX, and the sintering behavior of the electrolytes and their electrical conductivity were also studied. Although Mg-cerate is relatively inferior to Ba-cerate in the sinterability and chemical homogenity(EDX analysis data), both the Ba- and the Mg-cerate electrolytes at 80$0^{\circ}C$ show their maximum conductivities at x=0.10 and their values are in the same order of magnitude, i.e., 3.5$\pm$0.17.10-2(ohm.cm)-1.ohm.cm)-1.
