W-Cu 합금은 우수한 전기적, 열적 특성으로 인하여 열소산재료(Heat sink)로 많이 응용되고 있다. 첨단 전자부품 이외에도 핵융합로의 Diverter가 그 예로서, 내부는 고강도와 고융점의 특성을 요구하는 반면, 외부는 높은 열전도성을 필요로 한다. 그래서 동일한 조성의 일반적인 W-Cu 합금보다 W과 Cu의 조성이 점차적으로 변화하는 경사기능재료(Functionally Graded Materials)가 냉각효율이 클 것으로 기대된다. 현재, W-Cu FGM에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있지만, 그 조성이 연속적으로 변화하는 W-Cu FGM에 대한 연구는 전무한 실정이다 본 연구에서는 방전플라즈마 소결장치(Spark Plasma Sintering System)와 용침고정을 이용하여 연속적인 조성변화를 갖는 W-Cu FGM을 제조하고 그 특성에 관해 분석하고자 하였다. 소결체가 밀도 변화를 갖게 되도록 제작한 특수 경사기능 몰드에 W분말을 장입한 후, 15㎬의 압력하에서 SPS를 이용하여 W소결체를 제조하였다. 제조된 W소결체는 수평관상로에서 수소분위기 하에 Cu 용침을 실시하여 W-Cu FGM을 제조하였다 SEM을 이용한 각 위치별 조직관찰과 Image Analyzer를 이용한 W과 Cu의 면적비, 그리고 비커스경도계에 의한 경도 측정을 실시하였다. 또 열기계적 분석기를 이용하여 측정된 선팽창률로부터 열팽창계수를 구하였다. 80$0^{\circ}C$에서 ？칭하는 반복적인 싸이클을 통해 열충격시험을 실시하였고, Laser flash method로 열확산계수를 측정하였다.

Laser-assisted selective infiltration is a new method of building metal layers to make metal parts layer by layer, in which superheated microscopic metal droplets are infiltrated into a laser-preheated layer of microscopic metal powders. In this work, the selective infiltration of a low melting-point metal, Sn-37Pb wt%, was conducted to investigate the effects of such dominant parameters as superheating temperature, Nd:YAG laser power for preheating, substrate temperature, etc. The optimal conditions for successful selective infiltration of a single layer of microscopic metal powder were experimentally obtained

The present work has attempted to investigate the dependence of Cu infiltration kinetics on in-situ structure modification of W powder skeleton in W-Cu system. In-situ structure modification of W skeleton by addition of 0.3wt%Ni-P eutectic alloy was designed to proceed during heat-up of the W compact for Cu infiltration process. It was found that the Ni-P added W skeleton underwent remarkable stucture change only during heating-up. its structure was composed of large necks of W particles above 0.5 in the ratio of neck to particle size and smooth pore channels. The infiltration experiment showed that the infiltration kinetics for the W-Ni-P followed well the linear relationship of h vs. $t^{1/2}$ the rate constant K of which was in good agreement with the theoretical value. On the other hand, in case of the pure W skeleton a lower K value by 20% than the theoretical one was obatined. Such discrepancy is discussed in terms of skeleton structure induced infiltration mechanics.

본 연구는 텅스텐 소결에 저온 활성제로 작용하는 Ni-P 공정합금을 미량첨가하여 제조공정의 간단화를 통한 새로운 W-Cu계 전기접점제조를 목표로 하였다. 이를 위해 1회 용침공정을 통해 제조한 W(Ni-P)-Cu 합금에 대한 전기접점특성을 조사하여 접점의 미세구조 관점에서 논의하였다. Ni-P 합금첨가한 접점은 기존의 순수 W-Cu 합금에 비해 낮은 접촉저항 및 낮은 아크소모를 나타내는 우수한 접점성능을 보여주었다. 이것은 Ni-P합금이 Cu용침이 개시되기전 짧은 승온단계에서 분말간의 강한 결합과 Cu용침에 유리한 기공통로를 갖는 W 분말 골격체의 형성을 유도하기 때문인 것으로 판단된다.

The business of manufacturing is increasingly becoming time-compressing, precise and long-life oriented, owing to various needs from the consumers and harsh global competition. With the emergence of the layer laminate manufacturing method, it is possible to produce prototypes directly from 3D CAD and additive process, the production time and cost have shortened dramatically. However there are some problems like surface-step, dimensional deviation and warp. A newly developed powder casting is suitable for rapid-manufacturing metallic tools. Powder casting can serve as a promising rapid tooling method because of high density characteristics and low dimensional shrinkage below 0.1％ during sintering and infiltration. By this process, we have realized significant time savings bypassing the wait for prototype tooling and cost savings eliminating the expense of conventional prototype tooling process.

W-Cu composite has been used for the applications requiring both high strength, good thermal and electrical conductivity. A graded combination of W and Cu will reduce thermal stress concerned with heat conduction, maintaining good thermal conductivity and high mechanical strength. In the present work, an attempt was made to fabricate continuous W-Cu FGM by preparing the graded porous structure of W skeleton using spark plasma sintering (SPS) process followed by infiltrating Cu. The graded porous structure was prepared at 150$0^{\circ}C$ for 60s under pressure of 15MPa by SPS process using a graphite mold with varying crr)ss section in the longitudinal direction. Infiltration of Cu was performed at 115$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour under $H_2$. W-Cu composite with graded Cu composition of 14 to 27 wt％ was finally prepared. In this process the gradient of composition could be conveniently controlled by varying the gradient of cross sectional area of graphite mold, temperature and pressure.

In a solid propulsion system, the rocket nozzle is exposed to high temperature combustion gas. Hence, choosing an appropriate material that could demonstrate adequate performance at high temperature is important. As advanced materials, carbon/silicon carbide composites (C/SiC) have been studied with the aim of using them for the rocket nozzle throat. However, when compared with typical structural materials, C/SiC composites are relatively weak in terms of both strength and toughness, owing to their quasi-brittle behavior and oxidation at high temperatures. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the thermal and mechanical properties of this material before using it in this application. This study presents an experimental method to investigate the fracture behavior of C/SiC composite material manufactured using liquid silicon infiltration (LSI) method at elevated temperatures. In particular, the effects of major parameters, such as temperature, loading, oxidation conditions, and fiber direction on strength and fracture characteristics were investigated. Fractography analysis of the fractured specimens was performed using an SEM.
