고온 스퍼터 공정과 구리 리플로우 공정을 통해 다공성 니켈 지지체에 팔라듐-구리-니켈 삼원계 합금 수소 분리막을 제조하였다. 그러나 스퍼터와 같은 물리적 증착법은 주로 주상정 형태로 증착되기 때문에 다공성 니켈 지지체 표면의 수마이크론 내외의 기공이 존재할 경우 다공성 니켈 지지체에 기인한 많은 기공들 때문에 스퍼터 증착에 영향을 주어 수소 분리막 표면에 기공들이 존재하게 된다. 이를 방지하고 균일한 증착이 이루어지도록 다공성 지지체 표면의 전처리 공정이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 스퍼터 코팅에 의한 균일한 팔라듐 금속층 형성하고 표면에 미세기공이 없는 수소 분리막을 제조하기 위해 다공성 니켈 지지체를 니켈도금, 알루미나 분말 주입 및 미세연마 전처리 공정을 통하여 다공성 니켈 지지체의 표면기공들을 매립하여 치밀한 팔라듐 합금 층을 형성하였다. 전처리를 하지 않은 다공성 니켈 지지체는 팔라듐 및 구리의 고온 스퍼터 증착 및 구리 리플로우 공정에 의해 표면 기공을 막을 수가 없었고 수소분리기능이 없어 수소 분리막으로 역할을 하지 못했다. Al2O3 분말 주입 전처리 공정을 한 다공성 니켈 지지체에 팔라듐 및 구리 고온 스퍼터 증착과 구리 리플로우 공정을 이용하여 제조된 수소 분리막은 다공성 니켈 지지체에 기인한 기공을 메우기 위해서 팔라듐 합금 층이 두꺼워지는 어려움이 있었다. 니켈도금 전처리 공정을 한 다공성 니켈 지지체에 형성한 수소 분리막은 우수한 선택도를 가졌으나 도금 전처리에 사용된 $2{\mu}m$ 두께의 니켈층이 수소의 확산을 방해하는 저항막 역할을 하여 수소 투과도가 3.96 $ml{\cdot}cm-2{\cdot}min-1{\cdot}atm-1$으로 낮게 나타났다. 미세연마 전처리 공정을 한 다공성 니켈 지지체에 형성한 수소 분리막 역시 우수한 수소 선택도를 가졌으며, 수소의 확산을 방해하는 저항막이 존재하지 않아 13.2 $ml{\cdot}cm-2{\cdot}min-1{\cdot}atm-1$의 우수한 수소 투과도를 나타내었다.

This study was carried out to obtain a basic data on the production of the Nd-Fe-B system rare earth anisotropic bonded magnet by R-D & HDDR process. The reduction reaction of Nd$_2$O$_3$by metallic Ca and the diffusion reaction of Nd into Fe-B alloy powder were investigated for the production the Nd-Fe-B alloy powder. We concluded that a proper quantity of metallic Ca was about 1.3 times of theoretical equivalent from the yields of Nd and B after the R-D reaction at 100$0^{\circ}C$ for 1h. In the XRD analysis the diffusion reaction of Nd into the center of Fe-B alloy powder for the completed homogenization was required through about 45min at 110$0^{\circ}C$ for the R-D reaction, and also the maximum efficiency on the yield of Nd was obtained with such a condition. Residual Ca and oxygen contents of the final powder sample after washing were detected in 0.17wt% and 0.42wt% by ICP and oxygen analyzer, respectively.

The electrode characteristics of two kinds of metal hydride electrodes using V-Ti (V-rich) based alloy were studied, in which one electrode was prepared by sintering the mixture of V-Ti alloy and Ni powders by a rapid thermal annealing technique and the other one was prepared using V-Ti-Ni ternary alloy, The discharge capacities of all electrodes during the charge-discharge cycling were completely deteriorated within 10 cycles. It appeared that the deterioration of the electrodes was caused by the dissolution of V in the near-surface region into the electrolyte and the formation of $TiO_2$ layer on the alloy particle surface. This degradation mechanism was supported by the facts that V is main hydride forming element and $TiO_2$ has very low electrical conductivity and hydrogen diffusivity.

Powder metallurgy processes are able to form Net-Shape products and have been widely used in the production of automobile parts to improve its productivity. However, because of pores in powder products, the toughness of powder products are generally poor. Therefore, forged products are used in parts which suffer severe fatigue loads. In this paper, the choice of powder materials and production processes such as mixing, compaction, sintering, heat treatment to produce automobile spline hub are studied. Three type of materials are selected and processed and its microstructure and properties are investigated by tensile test, compression ring test, and impact test. Materials and processing methods are selected from the results. Finally, experimental spline hubs are manufactured by selected processes from selected powders and proved by torsional durability test.

Cu, Ni, and Mo were ion-diffused into the pure steel powder in the aqueous solution of $(CuNO_3)_2$, $Ni(NO_3)_2)_2$, and $(NH_4)_6Mo_7O_{24}$, to form partial diffusion bond prealloyed steel powder. The mechanical properties, and compacting and sintering characteristics were investigated as a function of Cu. Ni and Mo contents. The results of the this research, it was found that the smallest change of size was observed, and the good degree of hardness and tensile strength was observed when 1.50wt%Cu, 1.75wt%Ni and 0.50wt%Mo was added each other. The powder metallurgy characteristics of partial diffusion bond prealloyed steel powder containing 1.50wt% of Cu, 1.75wt% of Ni and 0.5wt% of Mo were compared to those of distalloy $AB\textregistered$ which was manufactured in Hogani Corporation of Sweden. Partial diffusion bond prealloyed steel powder of this study had good degree of hardness and density, and its dimensional stability was same to that of pure steel powder. Under the same sintering density and temperature, the tensile strength of the ion powder from this research was $15~20Kg/\textrm{mm}^2$ larger than that of distalloy AB'. also the hardness was larger in the magnitude of Hv20-30. When the powder metallurgy heat-treated, hardness and tensile strength were substantially increased.

본 연구에서는 TiAl 금속간 화합물을 자전 고온 반응법을 이용하여 제조시 반응과정을 열시차 분석 방법으로 분석하였다. 합금 조성은 Ti-45at% Al, 53at%Al, 알루미늄 분말 크기, 승온 속도, 성형 밀도 등을 변화시켜 이들이 반응 과정에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 분말이 미세할수록, 승온속도가 느릴수록, 성형 밀도가 낮을수록 반응 점화 온도 및 연소 온도가 감소하였으며, 고상 Ti와 고상 Al간의 반응정도가 증가하는 것이 관찰되었다. 고상 Ti와 고상 Al간의 반응에서 생성되는 것은 XRD 분석 결과 Ti$Al_{3}$상으로 확인되었다. 이에 비하여 반응 점화 온도가 알루미늄의 용융 온도보가 높을 경우에는 생성되는 상이 $Ti_{3}$Al, TiAl상으로 확인되었다. 이러한 상의 생성 원인에 대하여 확산 계수 및 알루미늄의 용해도등의 요인으로 설명하였다.

TLP(Transient-Liquid-Phase) bonding of Fe-base MA956 ODS alloy was performed. As insert metal a commercially available Ni-base alloy(MBF50) and an MA956 alloy with additive elements of 7wt% Si and 1wt% B were used. To confirm the idea that a concurrent use of MA956 powder with Insert metals can enhance the homogenization of constituent elements and thereby reduce the thickness of joint interface, MA956 powder was also inserted In a form of sheet. SEM observation and EDS analysis revealed that Cr-rich phase was formed in the bonded interface in initial stage of isothermal solidification during the bonding process, irrespective of kind of insert metals. Measurement of hardeness in the region of bonded interface and EDS analysis showed that a complete homogenization of composition could not be obtained especially in case of MBF50. Joints using either BSi insert metals only or BSi insert together with MA956 powder interlayer showed, however, a remarkable improvement in a compositional homogenization, even though a rapid grain growth in the bonded interface could not be hindered.

In the present study, we systematically investigated the effect of Mn addition on nitrogenation behavior and magnetic properties of Sm-Fe powders produced by reduction-diffusion process. Alloy powders with only $Sm_2(Fe,Mn)_{17}$ single phase were successfully produced by the reduction-diffusion process. The coercivity of $Sm_2(Fe,Mn)_{17}$ powder rapidly increased during nitrogenation and reached the maximum of 637 Oe after 16 hours. After further nitrogenation, it decreased. In contrast, the coercivity of $Sm_2Fe_{17}$ powder gradually increased during nitrogenation for 24 hours. The coercivity of $Sm_2(Fe,Mn)_{17}$ powder was higher than that of $Sm_2Fe_{17}$ powder at the same condition of nitrogenation. It was considered that the Mn addition facilitates the nitrogenation of $Sm_2Fe_{17}$ powder and enhances the coercivity.

As a basic study on the production of $Sm_{2}Fe_{17}N_{x}$ system rare earth permanent magnet by the reduction and diffusion(R- D) process, firstly the reduction reaction of $Sm_2O_3$ by metallic Ca and diffusion of Sm into Fe powder was investigated for the production the $Sm_{2}Fe_{17}$intermetallic compound. We concluded that the former case was very rapidly completed under the high temperature greater than 100$0^{\circ}C$ and the latter case of completion of diffusion reaction of Sm into the center of Fe powder(perfect homogenization condition) was required through 3h R- D reaction at 110$0^{\circ}C$ and identified as a rate determining step(RDS) on the whole reaction. Though $SmFe_2,SmFe_3$, and $Sm_{2}Fe_{17}$phases in the growth of phases of intermetallic compound in the Sm - Fe binary system were obseved below 100$0^{\circ}C$, but only $Sm_{2}Fe_{17}$phase was observed at lIOO$^{\circ}C$. Oxygen and Ca contents of the final sample in this work were 0.72wt% and O. 11 wt% respectively.

The quality of the ceramic sintered coating on a metal surface through laser surface treatment is affected by the laser irradiation pattern. Depending on the laser irradiation pattern, the amount of residual stress and heat applied or accumulated on the surface increases or decreases, affecting the thickness attained in the ceramic sintering area. When the heat energy accumulated in the sintering area is high, the ceramic and the metal alloy melt and sufficiently mix to form a homogeneous and thick bonding interface. In this study, the thermal energy accumulation in the region sintered with zirconia was controlled using four types of laser processing patterns. The thickness of the diffusion region is analyzed by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy of Mg-ZrO2 generated by laser sintering zirconia powder on the magnesium alloy surface. On the basis of the analysis of the Mg and Zr present in the sintered region through LIBS, the effect of the irradiation pattern on the sintering quality is confirmed by comparing and analyzing the heat and mass transfer tendency of the diffusion layer and the degree of diffusion according to the irradiation pattern. The derived diffusion coefficients differed by up to 9.8 times for each laser scanning pattern.
