Application of a stronger and more durable material for reactor pressure vessels (RPVs) might be an effective way to insure the integrity and increase the efficiency of nuclear power plants. A series of research projects to apply the SA508 Gr.4 steel in ASME code to RPVs are in progress because of its excellent strength and durability compared to commercial RPV steel (SA508 Gr.3 steel). In this study, the microstructural characteristics and mechanical properties of SA508 Gr.3 Mn-Mo-Ni low alloy steel and SA508 Gr.4N Ni-Mo-Cr low alloy steel were investigated. The differences in the stable phases between these two low alloy steels were evaluated by means of a thermodynamic calculation using ThermoCalc. They were then compared to microstructural features and correlated with mechanical properties. Mn-Mo-Ni low alloy steel shows the upper bainite structure that has coarse cementite in the lath boundaries. However, Ni-Mo-Cr low alloy steel shows the mixture of lower bainite and tempered martensite structure that homogeneously precipitates the small carbides such as $M_{23}C_6$ and $M_7C_3$ due to an increase of hardenability and Cr addition. In the mechanical properties, Ni-Mo-Cr low alloy steel has higher strength and toughness than Mn-Mo-Ni low alloy steel. Ni and Cr additions increase the strength by solid solution hardening. In addition, microstructural changes from upper bainite to tempered martensite improve the strength of the low alloy steel by grain refining effect, and the changes in the precipitation behavior by Cr addition improve the ductile-brittle transition behavior along with a toughening effect of Ni addition.

A use of Titanium alloy as a structural material is increasing lately. Among those titanium alloys, Ti-6A1-4V alloy is the most popular one with taking 2/3 of it's market. Also, Ti-6A1-4V alloy can get the stability of organization and product measure, and the evaluation of the cutting ability and the mechanical characteristics. The point in titanium alloy work is on how treat the heat generated during grinding. Because the heat conductivity of titanium alloy is unnegligibly low, the grinding heat is accumulated in workpiece, and it cause the increasing of grinding grits' wear and the rough grinding surface. So, these characteristics in grinding of titanium alloy will change the mechanical characteristics of the titanium alloy. From this study, the mechanical characteristics of annealed Ti-6A1-4V alloy after grinding was concerned with checking out the bending strength values, and the factor of the change and the difference was analyzed after analyzing the surface roughness and the image from SEM.

Mechanical alloying behaviour was investigated after adding 6, 8, 12wt% Fe powder into A1 matrix, respectively, in order to develop Al alloy. And the mechanical characteristics of the alloy which was produced by the above method were studied. The hardness and ultimata tensile strength of the material with different compositions were found to be increased with annealing temperatures and holding times. Intermetallic compound of $Al_3Fe$ and carbide of $Al_4C_3$ phases, which were generated from the different compositions during annealing, were found. It was suggested that enhancement of mechanical properties of Al-Fe alloy system was due to the presence of these preapitates that constrained grain growth and blocked dislocation movement in the alloy system.

Dissimilar joining of AI 6013-T4 alloys and austenite stainless steel was carried out using friction stir welding technique. Microstructures near the weld zone and mechanical properties of the joint have been investigated. Microstructures in the stainless steel side and AI alloy were depended on the thermo-mechanical condition which they received. TEM micrographs revealed that the interface region was composed of the mixed layers of elongated stainless steel and ultra-fine grained AI alloy and intermetallic compound layer which was identified as the $Al_{4}Fe$ with hexagonal close packed structure. Mechanical properties were lower than those of 6013 AI alloy base metal, because tool inserting location was deviated to AI alloy from the butt line, which resulted in the lack of the stirring.

The influence of columnar dendirtes on the mechanical properties of Al-1% Cu alloys as unifirectionalloy solidified under the conditions of controlled crystal growth rate (R) and temperature gradient (G) was investigated. And the change of metallography and mechanical properties when unifirectionalloy solidified alloys and cast alloys were cold-rolled from 10% to 90% in reduction ratio was studied. The results are as follows: 1. The elongation and yield strength of unifirectionalloy solidified alloy are higher then those of cast alloy, but there is a little decrease in ultimate tensile strength. 2. The metallography and mechanical properties are changeable with the primary arm spacings when the unidirectionalloy solidified alloys were cold-rolled from 10% to 90% in reduction ratio. An alloy with larger primary arm spacings was easily changeable in metallography and mechanical properties when it was cold-rolled. 3. The tensile strength of transversely cold-rolled to 90% in reduction ratio was higher then that of longitudionalloy cold-rolled to 90% in reduction ratio. In the case, the fractorgraphs of fractured surface showed that the cast alloy and the unifirectionalloy solidified alloy was ductile-fractured, but the surface of transversely cold-rolled to 90% reduction of unidirection alloy solidified was slip plane qracture.

This paper relates a rheo die casting using electromagnetic force, which is one of the representative semi-solid methods for aluminum. The most important factors in electromagnetic stirring would be the melt temperature, sleeve temperature, electromagnetic force, and input time. The effect of the temperature of molten alloy on the direct rheo-casting is assessed in this study. The temperature of the molten alloy is set to 590 ℃ with a solidification of 40%, 600 ℃ with 30%, and 610℃ with less than 20%. Under the condition of 590 ℃ with a solidification of 40%, the whole molten alloy is solidified, causing non-forming during forming process. Meanwhile, under the condition of 600 ℃, where the solidification was 30%, appropriate amount of molten alloy is solidified, filled well into the mold, resulting in good forming, while at 610 ℃ with the solidification of 20%, the molten alloy is not sufficiently solidified and scattered away. The investigation of the defects inside the product with the help of the X-ray equipment shows that the electromagnetic stirring at 590 ℃ with a solidification of 30% produces many air-pores inside the product.

Mechanical alloying using high-energy ball mill and subsequent spark plasma sintering (SPS) process was applied to understand mechanical alloying processing of Al-Fe alloy system. The thermal stability of mechanically alloyed Al-Fe alloy was intended to be enhanced by SPS process. Various analytical techniques including particle size analysis, density measurement, micro-Vickers hardness test, SEM, TEM, and X-ray diffractometry were adopted to find optimum processing conditions for mechanical alloying and subsequent SPS and to estimate thermal stability of the prepared alloy. It was found from the treatment of mechanically alloyed Al-8wt.%Fe powder mixture that needle-shaped $Al_3Fe$ precipitates was formed in the Al-Fe matrix, and the alloy compact showed enhanced densification and reached its full density with little loss of its fine microstructure. After heat treatment at $500^{\circC}$, it was also shown that the thermal stability of Al-8wt.%Fe alloy fabricated in the present study was enhanced, which was due to its fine microstructure developed by fast densification of SPS.

HDDR (hydrogenation, disproportionation, desorption, recombination) and mechanical milling processes have been applied to the $SmCo_{5}$ alloy in an attempt to produce a highly coercive powder. The $SmCo_{5}$ alloy had very high structural stability under the hydrogen atmosphere and the 1:5 phase was only partially disproportionated under up to 10 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ hydrogen gas. The partially disproportionated material was recombined not into 1:5 phase after the HDDR, but rather into multi-phase mixture consisting of 1:5, 2:17, 2:7 and 1:7 phases. The $SmCo_{5}$ alloy HDDR-treated with hydrogen up to 10 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ had poor coercivity. For a useful HDDR to prepare a high coercivity $SmCo_{5}$ alloy powder, much higher hydrogen pressure well exceeding 10 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ would be required. The $SmCo_{5}$ alloy lump was amorphized by an intensive mechanical milling, and it was crystallised ultra-finely by a subsequent optimum annealing. The optimally annealed material had very high coercivity, and it was found that the mechanical milling followed by an annealing was an effective way of producing highly coercive $SmCo_{5}$ alloy powder.
