This study used optical and scanning electron microscopy to analyze the surface oxidation phenomenon that accompanies a γ'-precipitate free zone in a directional solidified CM247LC high temperature creep specimen. Surface oxidation occurs on nickel-based superalloy gas turbine blades due to high temperature during use. Among the superalloy components, Al and Cr are greatly affected by diffusion and movement, and Al is a major component of the surface oxidation products. This out-diffusion of Al was accompanied by γ' (Ni3Al) deficiency in the matrix, and formed a γ'-precipitate free zone at the boundary of the surface oxide layer. Among the components of CM247LC, Cr and Al related to surface oxidation consist of 8 % and 5.6 %, respectively. When Al, the main component of the γ' precipitation phase, diffused out to the surface, a high content of Cr was observed in these PFZs. This is because the PFZ is made of a high Cr γ phase. Surface oxidation of DS CM247LC was observed in high temperature creep specimens, and γ'-rafting occurred due to stress applied to the creep specimens. However, the stress states applied to the grip and gauge length of the creep specimen were different, and accordingly, different γ'-rafting patterns were observed. Such surface oxidation and PFZ and γ'-rafting are shown to affect CM247LC creep lifetime. Mapping the microstructure and composition of major components such as Al and Cr and their role in surface oxidation, revealed in this study, will be utilized in the development of alloys to improve creep life.

산화대 금 광석에 존재하는 적철석을 암모니아 용액을 이용하여 제거하여 금과 은의 회수율을 향상시키고자 하였다. 산화대에는 석영, 적철석, 백운모가 존재하고 있으며, 적철석은 수성기원으로 형성되었다. 다양한 변수에 대하여 암모니아 용출실험을 수행한 결과, Fe 최대 용출 인자는 -45 μm 입도 크기, 1.0 M의 황산 농도, 5.0 g/l의 황산암모늄 농도 그리고 2.0 M의 과산화수소 농도일 때였다. 이 암모니아 용출용액으로부터 침철석이 침전-형성되는 것을 확인하였으며, 고체-잔류물에서 Fe-제거 량이 증가할수록 Au와 Ag 회수율이 증가하였다.
