Due to its unique advantages, electrochemical machining (ECM) is playing an increasingly significant role in the manufacture of difficult-to-machine materials. Most of the current ECM research is conducted at room temperature, with studies on ECM in a cryogenic environment not having been reported to date. This study is focused on the electrochemical dissolution characteristics of typical iron and nickel base alloys in NaNO₃ solution at low temperature (-10℃). The polarization behaviors and passive film properties were studied by various electrochemical test methods. The results indicated that a higher voltage is required for decomposition and more pronounced pitting of their structures occurs in the passive zone in a cryogenic environment. A more in-depth study of the composition and structure of the passive films by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy showed that the passive films of the alloys are modified at low temperature, and their capacitance characteristics are more prominent, which makes corrosion of the alloys more likely to occur uniformly. These modified passive films have a huge impact on the surface morphologies of the alloys, with non-uniform corrosion suppressed and an improvement in their surface finish, indicating that lowering the temperature improves the localization of ECM. Together with the cryogenic impact of electron energy state compression, the accuracy of ECM can be further improved.

고성능 니켈-철 축전지를 개발하기 위하여 철전극에 대한 충방전 반응 특성을 전위주사법, SEM, XRD분석으로 조사하였으며, 또한 전극용량을 정전류 충방전 시험법으로 조사하였다. 전해질 온도 및 농도가 전극용량에 크게 영향을 미쳤으며, 특히 온도가 상승함에 따라 1차 방전용량이 증가하였다. 증공제는 전극용량에 거의 영향을 미치지 못하였다. 전극용량은 방전율 0.25C에서 350㎃h/g (이용율 36%) 이상으로 나타났고, 전극의 안정성도 양호하게 나타났으나 활성화가 느리게 일어났다.

Effects of alloying elements on the mechanical properties of 3.60wt%C-2.50wt%Si ductile cast iron with annealing and normalizing were investigated. Yield and tensile strengths were increased from 278 and 415 MPa to 316 and 440 MPa respectively as manganese content was increased upto 0.45wt% while elongation was decreased from 24.2 to 5.0%. The formers were increased and the latter was decreased with the increased amount of copper, molybdenum or nickel added. Meanwhile the tensile strength of annealed specimen was increased with the amount of alloying elements added, it was decreased by annealing. It was increased greatly by normalizing and the amount of alloying elements added except molybdenum.

In the stable eutectoid transformation of austenite in ductile cast iron, ferrite forms around the graphite spheroid. As carbon diffuses through the ferrite ring, the graphite spheroid must eularge and the ferrite ring must deform plastically to accomodate this growth. A model has been proposed to clarify this mechanism. The alloying effects of molybdenum, nickel and copper were studied in a series of heats cast into a range of casting section sizes. Regression analysis was used to illustrate the effects of alloying and cooling rate on the microstructure of ductile cast iron.

Flame-sprayed Ni-based coatings are investigated in order to improve the thermal fatigue properties of gray cast iron in the presence of water spraying. The results of thermal cycling tests from room temperature to $1100^{\circ}C$ indicate that thermal fatigue endurance is increased in the order of Ni-20%Cr, NiCr-6%Al, and Ni-5%Al. The thermal fatigue failure is caused by the formation of iron oxides between the coating and the substrate and then the thermal fatigue cracks have propagated either along the brittle iron oxide layer resulting in the spatting of the coatings in case of Ni-5%Al and NiCr-6%Al coatings or to the substrate resulting in the whole specimen fracture in case of Ni-20%Cr coating. It seems that the most governing factor for thermal fatigue resistance is the thermal expansion coefficient difference between the coating and the substrate. Microstructural variations before and after the tests are also discussed.

Factors that affect the hardness of the zinc electrodeposits in the sulfate electrolyte were investigated. The hardness of zinc deposit was enhanced by increasing the concentration of impurities such as iron and nickel in the bath that changed the crystallographic orientation of the zinc deposit from the strong basal plane to the random orientation. The increase of the concentration of sodium sulfate and current density in iron contained bath improved the hardness of zinc deposit because those were easily codeposited in zinc layer. However the increase of the concentration of sodium sulfate up to 80g/$\ell$ in the bath darkened the surface of zinc electrodeposits due to change of morphology by the codeposition of iron.

In this study, we investigated the suppression of the corrosion of cast iron in a copper-cast iron double-layered canister under local corrosion of the copper layer. The cold spray coating technique was used to insert metals with lower galvanic activity than that of copper, such as silver, nickel, and titanium, between the copper and cast iron layers. Electrochemically accelerated corrosion tests were performed on the galvanic specimens in KURT groundwater at a voltage of 1.0 V for a week. The results revealed that copper corrosion was evident in all galvanic specimens of Cu-Ag, Cu-Ni, and Cu-Ti. By contrast, the copper was barely corroded in the Cu-Fe specimens. Therefore, it was concluded that if an inactive galvanic metal is applied to the areas where local corrosion is concerned, such as welding parts, the disposal canister can overcome local or non-uniform corrosion of the copper canister for long periods.

강자성체인 철과 니켈의 박막에서 전류와 자기장이 이루는 각도의 변화에 따른 자기저항의 변화를 관찰하였다. 경사각에 따른 PMR과 NMR의 크기가 같은 ${\phi}_{mix}$의 변화는 전류에 수직한 자기장의 성분과 평행한 자기장의 성분이 같게 되는 각도에서 자기저항 루프의 역전이 되는 것을 이용하면 ${\phi}_{mix}=tan^{-1}(1+tan{\theta})$와 같이 구해진다. 위 관계식은 실험치와 잘 일치함을 보여준다. 반면에 철박막의 경우에는 니켈박막과 자화축이 다르게 나타나서 ${\phi}_{mix}$가 위 식으로 주어진 관계와 일치하지 않는다.

폐니켈-카드뮴전지 내의 니켈과 카드뮴을 분리하기 위한 재활용 기술 중 황산암모늄($(NH_4)_2SO_4$)을 이용하여 니켈을 침전시킴으로써 분리하는 기술이 보고되고 있어, 실제 산업현장에서 사용 중인 침출액을 이용하여 pH, 온도, 황산암모늄의 투입량 등을 변수로 하여 최적의 니켈 회수 조건을 도출하였다. pH의 경우 중성, 염기성에 비해 산성의 침출액에 황산암모늄을 투입했을 때 안정적인 황산니켈암모늄($(NH_4)_2Ni(SO_4)_26H_2O$)이 형성되었으며, 침출액의 온도는 $60^{\circ}C$일 때 가장 높은 순도를 나타내었다. 황산암모늄의 투입량은 니켈 함량 대비 2배의 몰 비로 투입했을 때 높은 회수율과 가장 적은 불순물 함량을 나타내었다. 서로 다른 두 공정을 통한 수산화니켈 제조 결과, 황산니켈암모늄 이용 시 카드뮴이 1.4% 검출되었고 황화나트륨($Na_2S$)을 이용하여 카드뮴을 제거한 용액에서 수산화니켈 제조 시에는 침출액 내 포함되어 있던 철과 니켈이 동시에 석출되었다. 본 연구를 통해 황산암모늄을 이용한 니켈 회수가 유용한 재활용 기술이 될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Equilibrium concentrations of major elements in an underground repository with a capacity of 100,000 drums have been simulated using the geochemical computer code (EQMOD). The simulation has been carried out at the conditions of pH 12 to 13.5, and Eh 520 and -520 mV. Solubilities of magnesium and calcium decrease with the increase of pH. The solubility of iron increases with pH at Eh -520 mV of reducing environment while it almost entirely exists as the precipitate of Fe(OH)$_3$(s) at Eh 520 mV of oxidizing environment. All of cobalt and nickel are predicted to be dissolved in the liquid phase regardless of pH since the solubility limit is greater than the total concentration. In the case of cesium and strontium, all forms of both ions are present in the liquid phase because they have negligible sorption capacity on cement and large solubility under disposal atmosphere. And thus the total concentration determines the equilibrium concentration. Adsorbed amount of iodide and carbonate are dependent on adsorption capacity and adsorption equilibrium constant. Especially, the calcite turns out to be a solubility-limiting phase on the carbonate system. In order to validate the model, the equilibrium concentrations measured for a number of systems which consist of iron, cement, synthetic groundwater and radionuclides are compared with those predicted by the model. The concentrations between the model and the experiment of nonadsorptive elements cesium, strontium, cobalt nickel and iron, are well agreed. It indicates that the assumptions and the thermodynamic data in this work are valid. Using the adsorption equilibrium constant as a free parameter, the experimental data of iodide and carbonate have been fitted to the model. The model is in a good agreement with the experimental data of the iodide system.
