The semiconducting $MnSi_{1.73}$ compound has been recognized as a thermoelectric material with excellent oxidation resistance and stable characteristics at elevated temperature. In the present work, we applied mechanical alloying (MA) technique to produce $MnSi_{1.73}$ compound using a mixture of elemental manganese and silicon powders. The mechanical alloying was carried out using a Fritsch P-5 planetary mill under Ar gas atmosphere. The MA powders were characterized by the X-ray diffraction with Cu-$K{\alpha}$ radiation, thermal analysis and scanning electron microscopy. Due to the observed larger loss of Si relative to Mn during mechanical alloying of $MnSi_{1.73}$, the starting composition of a mixture Mn-Si was modified to $MnSi_{1.83}$ and then $MnSi_{1.88}$. The single $MnSi_{1.73}$ phase has been obtained by mechanical alloying of $MnSi_{1.88}$ mixture powders for 200 hours. It is also found that the grain size of $MnSi_{1.73}$ compound powders analyzed by Hall plot method is reduced to 40 nm after 200 hours of milling.

Natural aggregate regular exploitation has led to environmental and resource depletion issues; consequently, construction waste has become an important raw material in the supply of aggregate smoothly. The recycled aggregate produced in the most of recycled aggregate processing company in Korea has a high adhesion ratio of cement paste and mortar, which affects the water absorption ratio and density. Therefore, the quality of recycled aggregate needs to be improved. In this study, we improved the quality of recycled aggregate through the use of a multistage separation ball mill. This ball mill has a sieve which protects the ball mix and improves the motion. Products produced by using multistage separation ball mill were compared with various quality standard for utilization as recycle aggregate. Finally, we confirmed that the multistage separation ball mill can efficiently separate cement paste and mortar from natural aggregate and that it is suitable for the production of recycled aggregates.

철질화물 및 Mo-Si계 규화물을 합성하기 위하여 실온 메카노케미칼 공정을 적용하였다. 메카노케미칼 처리는 고에너지 유성형 볼밀장치를 사용하였고 용기는 진공배기 후 암모니아 혹은 아르곤 가스로 충전시킨 후 벌밀처리를 행하였다. 분말의 특성평가는 XRD, DTA/DSC, SEM 및 EPMA 등에 의하여 행하였다. 철질화물의 경우 실온에서 최대 23.3 at.%N의 $\varepsilon$상 질화물을 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 Mo-SirP의 경우 100시간 메카노케미칼 처리시킴으로서 MiSi$_2$규화물을 합성할 수 있었으며 얻어진 분말의 결정립은 25cm로 매우 미세한 결정립의 분말재료임이 확인되었다.

Microstructure and thermal stability of mechanically ball milled $FeS_2$ were investigated. The average particle size and distribution of $FeS_2$ powder were changed in two steps with the increased ball milling time. The average particle size drastically decreased from $98.4{\mu}m$ to 1.01 and $0.89{\mu}m$ after ball milling of 10 h and 30 h, respectively. However, the distribution was broad and a shoulder appeared at $2{\mu}m$ because the pulverization was still in process at 10 h ball milling. After 60 h ball milling, the distribution became narrower. After ball milling of 120 h, the average particle size increased because of $FeS_2$ particle agglomeration. Therefore, the particle size distribution became broaden again. Finally, after ball milling of 170 h, $FeS_2$ with the narrowest size distribution can be obtained. Thermal stability of $FeS_2$ was unstable as the $FeS_2$ particle was pulverized. Therefore, the activation energy of the fine size particles is 27% lower than that of the as-received $FeS_2$.

We have applied mechanical alloying (MA) to produce soft magnetic composite material using a mixture of elemental $Fe_2O_3$-Mg powders. An optimal milling and heat treatment conditions to obtain soft magnetic ${\alpha}$-Fe/MgO composite with fine microstructure were investigated by X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) measurement. It is found that ${\alpha}$-Fe/MgO composite powders in which MgO is dispersed in ${\alpha}$-Fe matrix are obtained by MA of $Fe_2O_3$ with Mg for 30 min. The saturation magnetization of ball-milled powders increases with increasing milling time and reaches to a maximum value of 69.5 emu/g after 5 h MA. The magnetic hardening due to the reduction of the ${\alpha}$-Fe grain size by MA was also observed. Densification of the MA powders was performed in a spark plasma sintering (SPS) machine at $800{\sim}1000^{\circ}C$ under 60 MPa. X-ray diffraction result shows that the average grain size of ${\alpha}$-Fe in ${\alpha}$-Fe/MgO nanocomposite sintered at $800^{\circ}C$ is in the range of 110 nm.

In this study, illite was size-reduced using a wet-ball-milling treatment to improve its dispersion. Changes in illite particle size, size distribution, and dispersion characteristics after varying the treatment period were investigated. And the dispersion and dispersion stability of illite solution after 2 h wet ball milling treatment with different pH conditions were also evaluated. The illite particle size significantly decreased as the treatment time increased and the size reduction effect of wet ball milling deteriorated above 2 h treatment time. In addition, illite particle size was more evenly distributed as the treatment time increased. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that no crystal structural changes of illite were induced, but the characteristic peak of illite the weaker due to the size reduction and exfoliation, as the treatment time increased. Zeta potential analysis showed that the illite dispersion improved, as the treatment time increased. The illite wet-ball-mill treated at pH 2 had the lowest dispersion stability. Illite dispersion and dispersion stability increased as pH increased, due to the increase in surface ionization. Hence, the results showed that as the treatment time increased, the illite particle size decreased, and dispersion and dispersion stability improved due to the increase in surface energy and repulsion force between particles.

We have applied mechanical alloying (MA) to get $Mg_2Si$ thermoelectric material with nano-sized grains. An optimal milling and heat treatment conditions to obtain the single phase of $Mg_2Si$ compound with fine microstructure were investigated by X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurement. The $Mg_{66.7}Si_{33.3}$ MA samples ball-milled for $20{\sim}180\;hrs$ exhibit two broad exothermic heat releases around $220^{\circ}C$ and $570^{\circ}C$. On the other hand, MA sample ball-milled far 260 hrs exhibits only a sharp exothermic peak at $230^{\circ}C$ Single phase Mg2Si powder can be obtained by MA of $Mg_{66.7}Si_{33.3}$ mixture for 60 hours and subsequently heated up to $620^{\circ}C$. Sintering of the MA powders was performed in a spark plasma sintering (SPS) machine using graphite dies at $800{\sim}900^{\circ}C$ under 50 MPa. The shrinkage of sintering sample during SPS was significant at about $200^{\circ}C$. All compact bodies have a high relative density above 94% with metallic glare on the surface.

최근 들어, 압전 세라믹스 제조기술의 급속한 발전으로 기계, 전자뿐만 아니라 휴대용 전자기기의 초소형 적층형 압전모터 및 압전변압기 같은 고품질 압전소자의 개발에 있어 특히 소자의 소형화에 따라 나노크기의 분말제조가 연구의 주류를 이루고 있다. 현재 이러한 나노크기의 세라믹스 제조에 사용되는 방법으로는 화학적 공침법, 졸겔법, 수열반응, 그리고 고에너지 볼밀법등이 보고되고 있다. 볼밀링 공정은 세라믹제조 시 필수 불가결한 공정이나 일반적으로 미세화에 그 한계가 있어 $1{\mu}m$이하의 입자크기를 가지는 분말은 제조가 곤란한 것으로 인식되어 왔다. 그러나 고에너지 볼밀을 이용한 볼밀링은 원료의 변형, 파괴 등과 같은 원료의 물리적 변화 뿐만 아니라 원료를 구성하는 원자/분자 구조에 영향을 미쳐 원료의 화학적 특성의 변화를 유발한다. 이러한 화학적 특성의 변화는 이종 원료간의 화학 반응성을 향상시켜 밀링 중에 새로운 화학종의 생성을 유발하게 되는데 이러한 현상을 mechanochemical 효과라 한다. 이러한 mechanochemical 효과는 나노 분말 입자의 제조뿐만 아니라, 분자설계, 재료합성, 자원처리 및 리사이클링 등에도 그 적용이 시도되고 있다. 이러한 mechanochemical 효과를 이용하여 분말을 미세화 함으로써 저온 소결과 재료특성 향상을 기대해 볼 수 있다. 따라서, 이번 연구에서는 우수한 압전 특성을 가진 PMN-PNN-PZT조성을 가지고 시편을 제작하였으며, 고에너지 볼밀시간에 따라 그 압전 및 유전특성을 조사하였다.
