Reduced activation ferritic steel, JLF-1 steel (Fe-9Cr-2W-V-Ta), is one of the promising candidate materials for fusion reactor applications. Fracture toughness ($J_IC$) and tensile tests were carried out at room temperature and elevated temperature ($400^{\circ}C$). Two types of CT specimen were prepared to examine the effect of rolling direction on the fracture toughness of JLF-1 steel. Four types of tensile specimen were also prepared to investigate the property by the rolling direction and welding. The Micro Vickers hardness was measured at various distances of a cross section of the TIG joints of JLF-1 steel according to the heating history of each position. Finally, the fracture surface was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

The objective of this paper is to evaluate the fracture resistance characteristics of SA508 Cl.1a to SA508 Cl.3 welds manufactured for the reactor coolant loop piping system of nuclear power plants. The effect of the crack plane orientation to the welding process orientation and the preheat temperature on the fracture resistance characteristics were discussed. Results of the fracture resistance test showed that the effect of the crack plane orientation to the welding process orientation of the fracture toughness is significant, while that of preheat temperature on the fracture toughness is negligible. The micro Vickers hardness test, the metallographic observation and the fractography analysis were conducted to analyse the crack jump phenomenon on the L-R crack plane orientation in the multi-pass welding zone. As these results, it is shown that the crack jump phenomenon was produced because of the inhomogeneity between welding beads and the crack plane orientation must be considered for the safety of the welding zone in the piping system.

This paper is aimed to understand the effect of different galvannealing temperatures on the frictional properties and Fe-Zn intermetallic phases of the galvannealed (GA) coatings on steel sheets. Their galvannealing treatments were conducted at 465, 505, 515 and $540^{\circ}C$ for about 10s in the additional heating furnace of an industrial continuous hot-dip galvanizing line. The mechanical and the frictional properties of the coatings were estimated using nanoindentation, nanoscratch, micro vickers hardness tests and flat friction tests, which were performed at contact pressures of 4, 20 and 80MPa. Also, the correlation between the microstructure and the frictional properties of the GA coatings were investigated by SEM observation for the cross-section of the GA coating after and before flat friction tests. The results showed that the mechanical and the frictional properties of the coatings are strongly dependent on their phase distributions and microstructure. Especially, in low contact pressure of 4MPa the frictional properties of the coatings were dependent on the surface phases and morphology, while in high contact pressure of 80MPa it was influenced by their mechanical properties based on the dominant phase distributions.

Dry sliding wear behavior of ultra-fine grained(UFG) plain low carbon dual phase steel, of which microstructure consists of hard martensite in a ductile ferrite matrix, has been investigated. The wear characteristics of the UFG dual phase steel was compared with that of a coarse grained dual phase steel under various applied load conditions. Dry sliding wear test were carried out using a pin-on-disk type tester at various loads of 1N to 100N under a constant sliding speed condition of 0.20m/s against an AISI 52100 bearing steel ball at room temperature. The sliding distance was fixed as 1000m for all wear tests. The wear rate was calculated by dividing the weight loss, measured to the accuracy of 10-5g by the specific gravity and sliding distance. The worn surfaces and wear debris were analyzed by SEM, EDS and profilometer. Micro-vickers hardness of the cross section of worn surfaces were conducted to analyze strain hardening underneath the contact surfaces. The wear mechanism of the UFG dual phase steel was investigated with emphasis on the unstable nature of the grain boundaries of the UFG microstructure.

An ${\alpha}$-Ferrite (Fe) powder dispersed with 4 vol.% of $Al_2O_3$ was successfully produced by a simple miling at 210 K with a mixture of $Fe_2O_3$, Fe and Al ingredient powders, followed by 2 step high temperature consolidation: Hot Pressing (HP) at 1323 K and then Hot Isostatic Pressing at 1423 K. The microstructure of the consolidated material was characterized by standard metallographic techniques such as XRD (X-ray Diffraction), TEM and STEM-EDS. The results of STEM-EDS analysis showed that the HIPed materials comprised a mixture of pure Fe matrix with a grain size of ~20 nm and $Al_2O_3$ with a bimodal size distribution of extremely fine (~5 nm) and medium size dispersoids (~20 nm). The mechanical properties of the consolidated materials were characterized by compressive test and micro Vickers hardness test at room temperature. The results showed that the yield strength of the ODS (Oxide Dispersion Strengthened) Fe alloy are as much as $674{\pm}39$ MPa and the improvement of the yield strength is attributed to the presence of the fine $Al_2O_3$ dispersoid.

The effect of activation and electroless nickel plating conditions on contact properties was investi-gated for selective electroless nickel plating of Si wafers in order to obtain an optimum condition of con-tact hole filling. According to RCA prosess, p-type silicon (100) surface was cleaned out and activated. The effects of temperature, DMAB concentration, time, and strirring were investigated for activation of p-type Si(100) surface. The optimal activation condition was 0.2M HF, 1mM PdCl2, 2mM EDTA,$ 70^{\circ}C$, and 90sec under ultrasonic vibration. In electroless nickel plating, the effect of temperature, DMAB concentra-tion, pH, and plating time were studied. The optimal plating condition found was 0.10M NiSO4.H2O, 0.11M Citrate, pH 6.8, $60^{\circ}C$, 30minutes. The contact resistance of films was comparatively low. It took 30minutes to obtain 1$\mu\textrm{m}$ thick film with 8mM DMAB concentration. The film surface roughness was improved with decreasing temperature and decreasing pH of the plating solution. The best quality of the film was obtained at the condition of temperature $60^{\circ}C$ and pH 6.0. The micro-vickers hardness of film was about 800Hv. Plating rate of nickel on the hole pattern was slower than that of nickel on the line pattern.

Eutectic and off-eutectic Al-Fe alloys were unidirectionally solidified at the solidification rate of $1{\sim}50\;mm/min$ under the temperature gradients $75{\sim}80^{\circ}C/cm$. The investigation has been carried out for the microstructural variation, phase transition, mechanical properties by means of detailed analyses of stress-strain, micro-Vickers hardness and scanning electron micrography. The thermal stability at elevated temperature has been studied on $Al-Al_6Fe$ eutectic alloy held at $600^{\circ}C$ for $0{\sim}150$ hours. When the solidification rate was less than 10mm/min, the X-ray diffraction and EDS analysis showed the presence of $Al_3Fe$ compound. As the solidification rate more than 20 mm/min, $Al-Al_3Fe$ eutectic phase was transfered into $Al-Al_6Fe$ eutectic phase. The mechanical properties of unidirectionally solidified off-eutectic Al-Fe alloy is better than those of unidirectionally solidified eutecic Al-Fe alloy Maximum ultimate tensile strength was obtained in Al-2.25% Fe alloy which was unidirectionally solidified at the solidification rate of 20 mm/min. The metastable $Al-Al_6Fe$ phase was transferred into stable $Al-Al_3Fe$ phase at $600^{\circ}C$ held for 150 hours.

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.

The thickness ranges and conditions to form the supersaturated solid solution in Al-Cr alloys were investigated with various rapid solidification conditions. Al-Cr alloys, rapidly solidified by using the small droplet chill quenching method, were examined by means of micro-vickers hardness, lattice parameter, thermal analysis and microscopic observation. The results obtained were as follows; 1. With the increase of solidification rate, the solidified structures were changed to intermetallic compound + solid solution, incompletely supersaturated solid solution, completely supersaturated solid solution, in turn. 2. The minimum solidification rate required to form completely supersaturated solid solution was $2.5{\times}10^{-2}cm/sec$, $3.6{\times}10^{-2}cm/sec$ and $6.0{\times}10^{-2}cm/sec$ for Al-1.0wt%Cr, Al-1,2wt%Cr and Al-1.5wt%Cr, respectively. 3. The maximum distance from the chill surface required to form completely supersaturated solid solution was 5mm, 1.3mm and 0.3mm for Al-1.0wt%Cr, Al-1.2wt%Cr and Al-1.5wt% Cr, respectively.

There are a number of studies on chemically strengthened glass. Most of them are strengthened in molten salt bath below transformation range of glass. This research is distinguished from the aforementioned studies in that single $KNO_3$ powder was used by employing screen printing technique. In this study soda-lime-silicate(SLS) glasses for bulletproof glass application with various thicknesses were used. The maximum value of the bending strength is 791MPa heat treated at $480^{\circ}C$, which is about 4.3 times higher than the parent glass, which is the highest strength of all soda-lime glasses. In this study, it is also observed that Vickers hardness increased to $657H_v$, which is about 15% higher than the parent glass($568.7H_v$) and fracture toughness was not changed. Depth profiles measured by electron probe micro analyzer(EPMA) showed a correlation between the migrations of $K^+$ ions with bending strength of ion exchanged glasses.
