In this study, we investigated the precipitation behavior of the R-phase precipitated at the initial stage of aging and its effect on the pitting corrosion of 25%Cr-7%Ni-4%Mo super duplex stainless steel. The R-phase in super duplex stainless steel was mainly precipitated at the interface of ferrite/austenite phases and inside of the ferrite phase during the initial stage of aging, and it was transformed into the ${\sigma}$-phase with an increase in aging time. The ferrite phase was decomposed into a new austenite phase and ${\sigma}$-phase. The R phase was an intermetallic compound, which represented a lower Ni and higher Mo than the matrix, and also had a higher Mo and Cr concentration than the ${\sigma}$ phase. With an increasing aging time, the pitting potential $E_p$ was increased slowly by the precipitation of the R-phase, and it was then steeply decreased by the precipitation of the ${\sigma}$-phase. The R-phase was decreased the pitting potential, but its effect was smaller than effect of ${\sigma}$-phase.

In this study a dynamic modeling scheme is presented to derive the probabilistic structure of soil water and plant water stress when subject to stochastic precipitation conditions. The newly developed model has the form of the Fokker-Planck equation, and its applicability as a model for the probabilistic evolution of the soil water and plant water stress is investigated under climate change scenarios. This model is based on the cumulant expansion theory, and has the advantage of providing the probabilistic solution in the form of probability distribution function (PDF), from which one can obtain the ensemble average behavior of the dynamics. The simulation result of soil water confirms that the proposed soil water model can properly reproduce the results obtained from observations, and it also proves that the soil water behaves with consistent cycle based on the precipitation pattern. The plant water stress simulation, also, shows two different PDF patterns according to the precipitation. Moreover, with all the simulation results with climate change scenarios, it can be concluded that the future soil water and plant water stress dynamics will differently behave with different climate change scenarios.

The hardenability of boron steel specimens with different molybdenum and chromium contents was investigated using dilatometry and microstructural observations, and then was quantitatively measured at a critical cooling rate corresponding to 90 % martensite hardness obtained from a hardness distribution plotted as a function of cooling rate. Based on the results, the effect of an austenitizing temperature on the hardenability and tensile properties was discussed in terms of segregation and precipitation behavior of boron atoms at austenite grain boundaries. The molybdenum addition completely suppressed the formation of pro-eutectoid ferrite even at the slowest cooling rate of $0.2^{\circ}C/s$, while the chromium addition did at the cooling rates above $3^{\circ}C/s$. On the other hand, the hardenability of the molybdenum-added boron steel specimens decreased with an increasing austenitizing temperature. This is associated with the preferred precipitation of boron atoms since a considerable number of boron atoms could be concentrated along austenite grain boundaries by a non-equilibrium segregation mechanism. The secondary ion mass spectroscopy results showed that boron atoms were mostly segregated at austenite grain boundaries without noticeable precipitation at higher austenitization temperatures, while they formed as precipitates at lower austenitization temperatures, particularly in the molybdenum-added boron steel specimens.

An experimental study of the constitutive response of precipitation-strengthened Al-0.55wt% Zr alloy, which consists of an Al matrix precipitation-strengthened by coherent particles, ${\beta}^{\prime}(Al_3Zr)$ with $L1_2$ structure has been performed. The deformation response of the materials has been examined by stress relaxation test at 573K, 623K and 673K. It was found that there exist the threshold stress during stress relaxation and threshold stress results from the presense of ${\beta}^{\prime}(Al_3Zr)$ particles. The ratio of threshold stress and Orowan stress decreased gradually with increasing temperature. The resistance to climb-pass of particles was independent of particles size for a fixed volume fraction although the threshold for bowing and particles cutting are sensitive to the particles dimensions. The smaller particles cutted by dislocations. This behavior of dislocations in this alloy was explained in terms of the small value antiphase boundary energy. The dislocation networks wrere more extensive in spesimens subjected to stress relaxation and there were numerous areas that have a high denstiy of jogged dislocation. This experiment results indicate that the rate controlling stress relaxation process is the climb of edge dislocation over particles.

A transmission electron microscope (TEM) investigation has been performed on the precipitation of $L2_1$-type $Ni_2AlTi$ phase in B2-ordered NiAl system. The hardness after solution treatment is high in NiAl-Ti alloys suggesting the large contribution of solid solution strengthening in this alloy system. However, the amount of age hardening is not large as compared to the large microstructural variations during aging. At the beginning of aging, the $L2_1$-type $Ni_2AlTi$ precipitates keep a lattice coherency with the NiAl matrix. By longer periods of aging $Ni_2AlTi$ precipitates lose their coherency and change their morphology to the globular ones surrounded by misfit dislocations. Misfit dislocations, which are observed on {100} planes of H-precipitates have the Burgers vector of a <100> with a pure edge type. The lattice misfits of NiAl-$Ni_2AlTi$ system is estimated from the spacings of misfit dislocations to be 1.1% at 1273 K. The lattice misfits decrease with increasing aging temperature in this system.

In this study, a dynamic modeling scheme is presented to describe the probabilistic structure of soil water and plant water stress index under stochastic precipitation conditions. The proposed model has the form of the Fokker-Planck equation, and its applicability as a model for the probabilistic evolution of the soil water and plant water stress index is investigated under a climate change scenario. The simulation results of soil water confirm that the proposed soil water model can properly reproduce the observations and show that the soil water behaves with consistent cycle based on the precipitation pattern. The simulation results of plant water stress index show two different PDF patterns according to the precipitation. The simple impact assessment of climate change to soil water and plant water stress is discussed with Korean Meteorological Administration regional climate model.

Nanosized $SnO_2$ particles were synthesized by homogeneous precipitation method using tin chloride ($SnCl_4{\cdot}5H_{2}O$) and urea ($CO(NH_2)_2$). The powders were heated at $500^{\circ}C$ and $600^{\circ}C$ for 2h. The crystal structure, microstructure, thermal behavior, specific surface area were analyzed using XRD, FE-SEM, TGA and BET, respectively. The initial resistance and the $H_2$ sensing properties were measured as a function of ${Sb_2}{O_3}$ and Pd doping concentrations. The resistance was decreased with the addition of ${Sb_2}{O_3}$ and the sensitivity for $H_2$ gas was increased with the addition of Pd. Thus, the optimum $H_2$ gas sensing property was obtained in the 0.25.mol% ${Sb_2}{O_3}$ and 1.w% added $SnO_2$ powders.

As Al-Li based alloys are to find widespread use in aerospace and other structural applications in which their low-density high specific stiffness properties be exploited, their mechanical properties must adequately match those of the which they intended to replace. In order to develop these purposed, the precipitation behaviors of the rapidly solidified Al-Li-Ti alloys aged at various temperature were investigated. ${\delta}'$ phase precipitated homogeneously in the matrix during not only melt quenching but also aging at the aging temperature of $160^{\circ}C\;and\;210^{\circ}C$. The addition of the Ti in Al-Li alloy promoted the formation of $\delta$' phase. The addition of Ti on the ${\delta}'$ solvus line had a little effect over the thermodynamics ${\delta}'$ solvus line. The reason for these behavior was that the ${\delta}'$ phase was suppressed to precipitate as much as supercooling by melt quenching. The discontinuous precipitation reaction occurred by the preferential growth of ${\delta}'$ phase due to the migration of grain boundary provided the driving force dependent of solute concentration fluctuations.

Long-term aluminum (Al) corrosion tests were designed to investigate the condition that would generate severe Al corrosion and precipitation. Buffer agents of sodium tetraborate (NaTB), trisodium phosphate (TSP) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) were adopted. The insulation materials, fiberglass and calcium silicate (Ca-sil), were examined to explore their effects on Al corrosion. The results show that significant precipitates were formed in both NaTB/TSP-buffered solutions at high pH. The precipitates formed in NaTB solution raise more concerns on chemical effects in GSI-191. A passivation layer formed on the surfaces of coupon in solution with the presence of insulations could effectively mitigate Al corrosion. The Fe-enriched intermetallic particles (IPs) embedded in coupon appeared to serve as seeds to readily induce precipitation via providing extra area for heterogeneous Al hydroxide precipitation. X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses indicate that the precipitates are mainly boehmite (γ-AlOOH) and no direct evidence confirms the presence of sodium aluminum silicate or calcium phosphate.
