Intermetallic compound matrix composites have been expected to be established as high temperature structural components. $Ni_3Al$ is a representative intermetallic alloy, which has excellent ductility even at room temperature by adding certain alloying elements. $Ni_3Al$ matrix composites with aluminum oxide particles, which are formed by the in-situ reaction between the alloy and aluminum borate whiskers, are fabricated by a powder metallurgical method. The addition of aluminum borate whiskers disperses the synthetic aluminum oxide particles during sintering and dramatically increases the strength of the composite. The uniform dispersion of reaction synthesized aluminum oxide particles and the uniform solution of boron in the matrix seem to play an important role in the improvement in strength. There is a dramatic increase in strength with the addition of the whisker, and the maximum value is obtained at a 10 vol% addition of whisker. The $Ni_3Al$ composite with 10 vol% aluminum oxide particles $0.3{\mu}m$ in size and with 0.1 wt% boron powder fabricated by the conventional powder metallurgical process does not have such high strength because of inhomogeneous distribution of aluminum oxide particles and of boron. The tensile strength of the $Ni_3Al$ with a 10 vol% aluminum borate whisker reaches more than twice the value, 930 MPa, of the parent alloy. No third phase is observed between the aluminum oxide and the matrix.

$Al-SiC_{p}$ composite layer was prepared by plasma thermal spray on aluminum substrate. The homogeneously dispersed composite powder for thermal spray was fabricated by mechanical alloying with ball mill. The friction tests of the composite layers and commercial aluminum alloys for comparison were performed in the temperature range of 20∼$260^{\circ}C$ with the interval of $40^{\circ}C$ with steel counter-face. Friction coefficient was recorded during test sequence, and the microstructure of surface and debris was investigated by optical and scanning electron microscope. Friction coefficients of composite and aluminum alloys at room temperature were similar except pure aluminum. As the temperature increase, friction coefficient was increased rapidly in AC4C, AC2A. But friction coefficient of $Al-SiC_{p}$ composite was not increased so much up to $220^{\circ}C$. Consequently, the reinforcement of $SiC_{p}$ into aluminum matrix increased the stability of friction coefficient as well as wear resistance.

Aluminum was deposited on aluminum oxide powders using a fluidized bed reactor at atmospheric pressure. The aluminum oxide powders were irregular flakes with acute angles and the average particle size was 26 $\mu\textrm{m}$. The fluidized bed was formed by flowing argon gas at the velocity of 60 cm/sec. The optimal fluidization condition was obtained with the reactor designed to be tapered so that the fluid velocity decreases as the fluidizing gas goes up along the reactor. Aluminum was deposited by flowing TiBA(Triisobutylaluminum) evaporated at$250^{\circ}C$ through the fluidized bed reactor heated to 350~$450^{\circ}C$. The result from the analysis by XRD and EDAX confirmed the coating of aluminum and an SEM micrograph showed the conformality.

본 논문에서는 실험적 연구를 통해 고체 입자의 크기가 입자 침식에 미치는 영향에 대해 논하였다. 고밀도 폴리에틸렌 입자를 최고 속도 마하 3으로 이단 가스건을 이용해 발사하였다. 발사된 입자를 Al1050, Al6061 T6 알루미늄 합금과 ZnS, 사파이어 적외선창 시편과 충돌시켜 입자침식을 일으켰다. 알루미늄 합금의 표면에는 크레이터가 생성되었다. 크레이터의 크기를 통해, 알루미늄 합금의 입자침식 저항성을 살펴보았다. 적외선창은 시편 표면에 크랙이 생성될 때까지 반복해서 시험하였다. 이를 통해 적외선창의 입자침식 저항 특성을 나타내는 충돌 임계 곡선을 정의할 수 있었다. 다양한 크기의 고체 입자를 이용한 입자침식 시험을 통해, 고체 입자의 크기가 재료의 입자침식 저항성에 선형적으로 영향을 끼친다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

코발트와 철의 이온을 혼합한 산성수용액 중에서, 알루미늄 양극산화피막에 전해석출 하여 제작된 자성막은, 코발트조성이 증가함에 따라 발크합금의 경우와 마찬가지로 상전이(phase shifting) 하였다. 입자직경이 $150\;{\AA}$의 시료의 경우 조성이 25-35 at% Co에서 큰 포화자화, 고항자력, 큰 자기이방성 에너지 및 우수한 각형비 등에 기인하는 큰 자기에너지 적($BH_{max}$)이 얻어진다. 그러나 입자직경이 $450\;{\AA}$의 경우에는, 코발트가 50-70 at% 일때 초기석출부 에 강자성체인 FeC가 아주 강하게 배향하므로, 입자의 큰 형상이방성(수직자기이방성)이 없어지고 면내 방향의 자기이방성을 나타낸다. 그리고 같은 조성에서 초기석출부를 제거하여 FeC의 영향을 없앨때, 주직자기이방성이 회복되었다.

본 논문에서는 고체 로켓 노즐 내부의 2상유동 및 노즐 표면 마모 특성에 관하여 수치적으로 연구하였다. 로켓 노즐 내부의 연소 가스에 포함된 여러 가지 크기의 산화알루미늄 입자에 대해서 Stoke 수를 정의하고, 입자의 궤적을 라그랑지안 방법을 통하여 추적 및 분석하였다. 아울러 Weber 수를 정의하여 산화알루미늄 입자의 안정성을 고찰하였다. 큰 입자들은 유동의 급가속에 의하여 노즐목을 통과한 후 분리되었다. 이와 같이 분리된 입자들은 노즐 출구에서의 입자분포를 크게 변화시켰다. 위와 같은 계산 결과로부터 노즐벽의 수축부분은 산화 알루미늄 입자의 영향을 받을 수 있는 가능성이 있음을 확인하였다. 그리고 입자가 노즐벽면과 충돌시에 발생하게되는 노즐 표면의 기계적 마모 현상을 예측하였다.

Aluminum alloy(AC8A) matrix composites reinforced with SiC particles(10% in vol.) were fabricated by Centrifugal Spray Deposition(CSD) process. The microstructures were investigated in order to evaluate both the mixing mode between aluminum matrix and SiC particles, and the effect of SiC particles on the cooling behaviours of droplets during flight and preforms deposited. A non-continuum mathematical calculation was performed to explain and to quantify the evolution of microstructures in the droplets and preforms deposited. Conclusions obtained are as follows; 1. The powders produced by CSD process showed, in general, ligament type, and more than 60% of the powders produced were about 300 to 850 um in size. 2. AC8A droplets solidified during flight showed fine dendritic structure, but AC8A droplets mixed with SiC particles showed fine equiaxed grain structure, and eutectic silicon were formed to crystallize granularly between fine aluminum grains. 3. SiC particles seem to act as a nucleation sites for pro-eutectic silicon during solidification of AC8A alloy. 4. The microstructure of composite powders formed by CSD process showed particle embedded type, and resulted in dispersed type microstructure in preforms deposited. 5. The pro-eutectic silicon crystallized granularly between fine aluminum grains seem to prohibit grains from growth during spray deposition process. 6. The interfacial reactions between aluminum matrix and SiC particles were not observed from the deposit performs and the solidified droplets. 7. The continuum model seem to be useful in connecting the processing parameters with the resultant microstructures. From these results, it was concluded that the fabrication of aluminum matrix composites reinforced homogeneously with SiC particles was possible.

Multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) aluminum composite powders were deposited to form coatings using a high velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) spraying process. High thermal energy and contact with atmospheric oxygen were supplied as the MWCNT aluminum composite particles were exposed to a gas flow field at high temperature (${\sim}3.0{\times}10^3$ K) during HVOF spraying. As a result, the particles underwent full or partial melting and rapid solidification due to the high thermal energy, and the exposure to oxygen induced the interfacial reaction of MWCNTs within the particle. The electrical and mechanical properties of MWCNT aluminum composite coatings were evaluated based on microstructure analysis. Electrical resistivity, elastic modulus, and micro-hardness, of the MWCNT aluminum composite coatings were higher than those of pure aluminum coating. The contribution of MWCNTs to the aluminum matrix can be attributed to their high electrical conductivity, dispersion hardening and anchoring effects. The relationship among the properties and the interaction of the MWCNTs with the aluminum matrix is discussed.

To precipitate the complex gels of the pH 6, 7, 8, 9 included in a flux and an aluminum hydroxides gel, an aqueous solution of a mixture of $Na_2CO_3\;and\;Na_2PO_4{\cdot}12H_2O$ was added with stirring in an aqueous solution of a mixture of $Al_2(SO_4){_3}{\cdot}18H_2O,\;Na_2SO_4\;and\;K_2SO_4$, and then the complex gels were aged in 20 h at $90^{\circ}C$. As the hydrolysis pH changed, it had an effect on the physical properties such as the crystal structure, crystal morphology and a phase transition temperature of the AlO(OH) gel, and also on the crystal structure, crystal morphology, particle size and particle size distribution of the ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ platelets prepared by molten-salt precipitation. Also, in this study, the complex gels were crystallized at $1,200^{\circ}C$ and thereafter dried at $110^{\circ}C$, and then it was investigated to effect of the hydrolysis pH on the crystal structure, morphology and particle size distribution of the ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ platelets crystals using XRD, DTA, SEM and particle size analyzer.

본 연구에서는 알루미늄 분말의 입자 크기에 따른 폭발특성을 20 L 분진폭발실험장치(K$\ddot{u}$hner제작)를 사용하여 조사하였다. 사용한 시료는 각각 16, 33, $88{\mu}m$의 체적기준 평균입경을 갖는 알루미늄 입자를 대상으로 실험을 수행하였다. 분진의 평균입경이 16, 33, $88{\mu}m$에서 폭발하한농도는 각각 40, 60, $125g/m^3$로서 분진의 입경이 증가하면 점차적으로 증가하는 경향을 나타냈다. 또한 각각의 알루미늄 분진에서 입자 크기의 증가는 폭발압력 및 분진폭발지수($K_{st}$)의 감소로 이어졌다. 이러한 본 연구 결과는 알루미늄 분말의 활용 및 안전 운전을 위한 중요 자료로 활용될 수 있다.
