The semi-solid processing is now becoming of great interest for the production of various parts by pressure die casting. Also, the rheo-casting has been substituted for thixo-casting, because the rheo-casting can control the solid particles to globular and non-dendritic solid phase. In the rheo-casting process, the important thing is to control the solid particles behavior in semi-solid materials. So in this paper, to control solid particles behavior in semi-solid materials, we experimented about the die filling tests during the semi-solid die casting in 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 and 0, 6 solid fraction. The die filling in semi-solid die casting were simulated by MAGMA soft/thixo module. By the die filling tests and computer simulation, the effect of solid particles behavior in rheology flow had been investigated.

Biphasic Calcium Phosphate (BCP) consisted of hydroxyapatite (HAp) and $\beta$-tricalcium phosphate (P-TCP) has been prepared by solid state reaction. The size reduction of the resultant BCP agglomerate was carried out by reaction with hot water under atmospheric condition uld also under high pressure using an autoclave. The influence of processing conditions on the change of crystalline phase and composition, relative amount of constituent, specific surface area, and microstructure was investigated by means of XRD, FT-IR, BET method using a nitrogen adsorption and SEM.

A rheology casting technology has some advantages compared with conventional forming processes such as die casting, squeeze casting and hot/cold forming. The liquid segregation is important on mechanical properties of materials using rheology casting. In this study, so, molecular dynamics simulations were performed for the control of liquid segregation. Because the dynamics of fluid flow about nano-scaled materials is completely different from continuum, molecular dynamics simulations were used. The behavior of particles was far from the truth according to boundary conditions in simple flow. But various movement of particles appear at two or more molecular simulations.

분무성형공정은 급냉응고 및 결정입자 제어에 따른 고품위 소재 개발의 장점과 함께 고밀도 near-net-shape 제품의 제조가 가능한 합금제조기술이다 분무성형체의 미세조직은 적층표면에 도달하는 액적들의 평균 열용량, 즉 고상분율에 의하여 결정되며, 이는 액적의 비행과정에서의 분사가스-액적간의 열전달과 적층표면에서의 열유입과 열유출 속도에 영향을 받는다. 실제 다양한 공정변수들이 복합적으로 미세조직 형성과정에 영향을 미치지만, 균일한 미세조직을 얻기 위하여서는 적층표면에서의 온도와 고상분율을 항상 일정하게 제어하여야만 한다 즉, 적층표면 온도를 분무 성형공정중에 지속적으로 측정하여 이를 공정 제어 시스템에 feedback하여 원하는 적층표면온도를 유지하도록 공정변수를 제어하는 것이 필수적이다. 분무성형에 제조된 성형체는 합금원소의 편석이 없고 미세한 등방성의 결정립으로 이루어진 특징적인 미세조직을 나타낸다 이와 같은 미세조직으로 인하여 분무성형체는 우수한 성형성과 기계가공성을 나타내며, 또한 분무성형-후속가공된 최종 제품은 잉곳주조에 의하여 제조된 것과 비교하여 크게 향상된 기계적 성질을 가진다.

The behaviour of alloys in the semi-solid state strongly depends on the imposed stress state and on the morphology of the phase which can very from dendritic to globular. The estimation of behaviour characteristic in the compression simulation with seim-solid materials are calculated by finite element method with proposed algorithm. The proposed theoretical model and a various boundary conditions for compression process is investigated with the coupling calculation between the liquid phase flow and the solid phase deformation. The simulation process considering soldification phenomena is performed to the isothermal conditions of two dimensional problems. To analysis of compression process by using semi-solid materials, a new stress-strain relationship is described, and compression analysis is performed by viscoelastic model for the solid phase and the Darcy's law for the liquid flow. The calculated results for compression force and ram displacement will be compared to experimental data.

The effect of grain shape on the grain growth behavior of oxide system was investigated as afunction of liquid content during liquid phase sintering. As a model system, the solid grains of $Al_{2}O_{3}$ and MgO were selected during liquid phase sintering, i.e. faceted shape of $Al_{2}O_{3}$ in $CaAl_{2}Si_{2}O_{8}$ liquid phase and spherical shape of MgO in $CaMgSiO_{4}$ liquid phase. The average grain size of MgO with spherical shape was decreased with increasing the liquid phase content, whereas that of $Al_{2}O_{3}$ with faceted shape was independent of liquid phase content. In the case of $Al_{2}O_{3}$ grains with faceted shape, which interfaces are expected to be atomically flat, are likely to grow by the interfacial reaction controled process. Whereas, in the case of MgO grains with spherical shape, which interface are expected to be atomically rough, are likely to grow by the diffusion controlled process.

The hydrogen in nominally anhydrous mineral is known to be associated with lattice defects, but it also can exist in the form of water and hydroxyl groups on the large surface of the nanoscale particles. In this study, we investigate the effectiveness of 1H solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy as a robust experimental method to quantify the hydrogen atomic environments of amorphous silica nanoparticles with varying relative humidity. Amorphous silica nanoparticles were packed into NMR rotors in a temperature-humidity controlled glove box, then stored in different atmospheric conditions with 25% and 70% relative humidity for 2~10 days until 1H NMR experiments, and a slight difference was observed in 1H NMR spectra. These results indicate that amount of hydrous species in the sample packed in the NMR rotor is rarely changed by the external atmosphere. The amount of hydrogen atom, especially the amount of physisorbed water may vary in the range of ~10% due to the temporal and spatial inhomogeneity of relative humidity in the glove box. The quantitative analysis of 1H NMR spectra shows that the amount of hydrogen atom in amorphous silica nanoparticles linearly increases as the relative humidity increases. These results imply that the sample sealing capability of the NMR rotor is sufficient to preserve the hydrous environments of samples, and is suitable for the quantitative measurement of water content of ultrafine nominally anhydrous minerals depending on the atmospheric relative humidity. We expect that 1H solid-state NMR method is suitable to investigate systematically the effect of surface area and crystallinity on the water content of diverse nano-sized nominally anhydrous minerals with varying relative humidity.

La$_{0.7}$Ca$_{0.3}$MnO$_3$분말은 공기중에서 하소온도와 시간의 변화에 따라 각각 용액연소법과 고상반응법을 이용하여 제조되었다. 조성 및 구조 특성을 XRD와 SEM으로부터 조사하였으며 소결성은 dilatometer에 의해 조사되었다. 또한 분말 특성은 BET에 의해 조사되었고 분말의 하소온도는 TG 분석으로부터 결정되었다. 하소온도 및 시간이 증가함에 따라 La$_{0.7}$Ca$_{0.3}$MnO$_3$상의 XRD peak가 증가하였는데, 고상반응법을 이용한 경우 100$0^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 동안 하소해서야 겨우 La$_{0.7}$Ca$_{0.3}$MnO$_3$의 단상을 얻을 수 있었으나 용액연소법을 이용한 경우, $650^{\circ}C$에서 30분 동안 하소함으로써 submicron 입자크기를 갖는 단상이면서 초미세한 La$_{0.7}$Ca$_{0.3}$MnO$_3$분말을 쉽게 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 용액연소법에 의해 제조된 다결정인 La$_{0.7}$Ca$_{0.3}$MnO$_3$분말은 49.44$m^2$/g 정도의 매우 큰 비표면적을 얻을 수 있었다. 이 값은 고상반응법에 의해 제조된 분말의 비표면적 보다 매우 컸으며 이와 같으 사실로 인해 용액연소법에 의해 제조된 분말의 소결온도를 낮출 수 있었다. 분말의 소결온도를 낮출 수 있었다.

$Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ is prepared through a solid-state reaction between anatase $TiO_2$ and $Li_2CO_3$ for the negative electrode active materials in quick-charging lithium-ion batteries. The small amount of carbon black (0, 0.5, 1.0, and 3.0 wt%) is added for the reduction of powder agglomeration during heat-treatment. As the amount of the added carbon black increases, the tap density of $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ powder gradually decreases. Furthermore, the $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ powder prepared with 1.0 wt% of carbon black shows the highest sieved fraction at the powder classification by 325 mesh standard sieve. The $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ powders with various contents of carbon black are almost same at the rate capability for the negative electrode materials in lithium-ion batteries.

Polycrystalline $Sr_{2}(Ta_{1-x}Nbx)_{2}O_{7}$ and $La_{2}Ti_{2}O_{7}$ ceramics having very high Curie temperatures were synthesized by the conventional oxide mixing method (CON) and the molten salt synthesis method (MSS). Physical characteristics and phase relationship of calcined powders, as well as the sintering behavior, the grain-orientation and dielectric properties of sintered ceramics were investigated as a function of composition and firing temperature. The single $A_{2}B_{2}O_{7}$ phase was synthesized by using the MSS method at 100 - $150^{\circ}C$ lower temperature compared to the CON method. As Nb content increased in $Sr_{2}(Ta_{1-x}Nbx)_{2}O_{7}$ ceramics, the Curie temperature and the dielectric constant at Curie temperature were raised, and the sintering behavior and the degree of grain-orientation were also improved at the same time. The use of MSS-derived powders made it possible to lower the sintering temperature and to improve the dielectric properties of the sintering samples. However, the piezoelectric properties as well as the grain-orientation were not improved any further by the MSS route.
