Under rate-controlled sintering, furnace power is controlled to maintain a specific specimen contraction rate. This thermal processing method guarantees continuous process with a minimum thermal energy applied over time and makes it possible to control the density of the sintered body precisely. In this study, the rate-controlled sintering is applied to the sintering of $B_4C$ in order to investigate how rate-controlled sintering variables can affect the sintering behavior and/or grain growth behavior of $B_4C$ and how the results can be interpreted using sintering theories to draw an optimal sintering condition of the rate-controlled sintering. Further, the applicability of the rate-controlled sintering into the study for sintering of unknown materials is also considered.

The coal tar pitch and phenol resins are used as binders in artificial graphite manufacture, but there are differences in the initial carbon compound structure. According to the carbonization temperature, it can be expected that there are differences in thermal decomposition behavior, microstructure, and crystallinity change. These properties of the coal tar pitch and phenol resins were compared to each other. As the carbonization temperature of coal tar pitch and phenol resin increases, crystallinity tends to increase. The coal tar pitch went through the carbonization process through the liquid, and it was confirmed that the crystallinity changed rapidly in the temperature range of 500 and 600 ℃, where the microstructure changed quickly. These results confirmed the close correlation between microstructure and crystallinity.

Biomass can be considered as chemical energy obtained from nature, and includes all living organisms such as plants, animals, and microorganisms. Biomass is eco-friendly, is easily obtainable from the environment, and can be recycled without special treatment processes. Biomass can also be converted into bioenergy fuel through pyrolysis and fermentation. Therefore, it has been considered as a renewable energy source, which prevents the depletion of natural resources such as fossil fuels. In this study, torrefaction to increase the carbon content in various types of biomass sources (sawdust, rice straw, rice bristles, coffee ground, and waste wood) was conducted under an inert atmosphere and at a temperature of 523~573K. The possibility of using torrefied biomass as an alternative to solid fuel for industrial purposes was analyzed by examining the carbon concentration and combustion behaviors.

The effect of solidification rate on the microstructure of directionally solidified IN792+ Hf superalloy has been studied. Solidification sequence and precipitation behavior of the alloy have been analysed by microstructural observation. The script carbide transformed to faceted carbide with decreasing solidification rates. The incorporation of ${\gamma}$ phase into the faceted carbide was due to dendritic growth of carbides. Some elongated carbide bars formed along the grain boundaries at a solidification rate of 0.5$\mu\textrm{m}$/s. Two zones, ${\gamma}$' forming elements enriched zone and depleted zone, were found in the residual liquid area. Eutectic ${\gamma}$/${\gamma}$' nucleated in the f forming elements enriched zone. Formation of eutectic ${\gamma}$/${\gamma}$' increased the ratio of (Ti+Hf+Ta+W)/Al and induced η phase precipitation. The ratio of (Ti+Hf+Ta+W)/Al decreased at lower solidification rates due to sufficient back diffusion in the residual liquid area. Hence, the Precipitation of the η Phase efficiently suppressed at the lower solidification rate.

WC-Co 계의 입성장 억제는 현재 초경합금 분야에서 공학적으로 가장 중요한 이슈들 중의 하나이다 VC를 비롯한 입방정 탄화물이나 $Cr_3C_2$ 등의 여러 가지 탄화 물이 혼합되어 입성장 억제에 이용되는데 입성장 억제의 효과는 대략적으로 용해되는 탄화물의 양에 의존하고 있는 것으로 추정된다. 보다 효율적으로 입성장 억제를 실현하려면 입성장 기구를 명확히 할 필요가 있다. 최 등[1]은 VC가 WC 입자 표면 에서의 edge energy를 증가시켜서 2차원 핵생성의 에너지 장벽을 올리게 하고 이에 따라 입성장이 억제된다는 모델을 제안하였다. 이러한 모텔을 입증하기 위해서는 이론적으로만 예측이 가능한 edge energy보다 좀 더 명확한 물리적인 변수가 제시되어야 할 것이다. 여기서는 또 다른 계인 NbC- TiC-Co 계에서 NbC와 TiC의 버에 따른 입성장 거동과 입자의 형상간의 관계로부터 업성장과 edge energy 그리 고 edge energy와 입자 형상간의 관계를 알아보고 이로부터 좀 더 구체적인 의미 에서의 입성장 모텔과 입성장 억제기구를 제시하고자 한다.

코스트 저감과 연비 향상을 위한 부품 중 반복 하중과 내열성 부품의 적용이 증대하고 있다. 기존의 자동차 부품에서는 펄라이트가 석출되기 때문에 고탄소 철계 부품에 팩크로마이징 공정을 이용한 크롬탄화물을 형성하면서 탄화수소계 가스를 투입하므로서 기존의 불활성 분위기를 깨고 비평형상태로 분위기를 유지함으로 높은 경도의 $(Cr,Fe)_{23}C_6$와 $(Cr,Fe)_7C_3$ 복합 탄화물의 형성과 이에 의한 마찰계수 변화를 관찰하였다.
