Novel polymer mold process for fabrication of microcomponents using metal nanopowders was developed and experimentally optimized. Polymer mold for forming green components was produced by using a hard master mold and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). In the preparation of metallic powder premix for the green components without any defect, 90 wt.% 17-4PH statinless steel nanopowders and 10 wt.% organic binder were mixed by a ball milling process. The green components with very clear gear shape were formed by filling the powder premix into the PDMS soft mold in surrounding at about $100^{\circ}C$. Cold isostatic pressing (CIP) was very potent process to decrease a porosity in the sintered microcomponent. The microgear fabricated by the improved process showed a good dimension tolerance of about 1.2%.

$C_{60}$ 풀러렌이 분산된 알루미늄기지 복합재를 볼 밀링법과 열간압연 공정을 이용하여 제조하였다. 볼 밀링이 진행되는 동안, 알루미늄기지는 그 결정립이 100 nm 이하 수준으로 미세화되어 강화되었다. 동시에 $C_{60}$ 풀러렌이 알루미늄기지 내에 균일하게 분산되어, $C_{60}$ 풀러렌의 첨가량이 증가할수록 복합재의 강도가 증가하였으며, 10 vol%의 $C_{60}$ 풀러렌을 포함하는 순 알루미늄기지 복합재는 1 GPa 수준의 압축 강도를 나타내었다.

Low temperature synthesis of $LaNiO_3$ crystalline phase composited from mixtures of $La_2O_3$ and NiO via the ball mill and mechanochemical process were investigated. By the ball mill, 20% of $LaNiO_3$ crystalline phase was formed in the samples sintered at $900^{\circ}C$ due to the lack of reactivity of NiO. However, the mechanochemical process yielded about 93% of $LaNiO_3$ crystalline phase in room temperature.

Ultra-fine zirconium carbide (ZrC) powder with nano-sized primary particles was synthesized by the carbothermal reduction method by using nano-sized $ZrO_2$ and nano-sized graphite powders mixture. The synthesized ZrC powder was well dispersed after simple milling process. After heat-treatment at $1500^{\circ}C$ for 2 h under vacuum, ultra-fine ZrC powder agglomerates (average size, $4.2{\mu}m$) were facilely obtained with rounded particle shape and particle size of ~200 nm. Ultra-fine ZrC powder with an average particle size of 316 nm was obtained after ball milling process in a planetary mill for 30 minutes from the agglomerated ZrC powder.

This study highlights a novel method and mechanism for the rapid and effective milling of carbon fibers (CFs) in silicon carbide (SiC) powder, and also the dispersion of CFs in SiC powder. The composite powders were prepared by chopping and exfoliation of CFs, and ball milling of CFs and SiC powder in isopropyl alcohol. A wide range of CFs loading, from 10 to 50 vol%, was studied. The milling of CFs and SiC powder was checked by measuring the average particle size of the composite powders. The dispersivity of CFs in SiC powder was checked through scanning electron microscope. The results show that the usage of exfoliated CF tows resulted in a rapid and effective milling of CFs and SiC powder. The results further show an excellent dispersion of CFs in SiC powder for all CFs loading without any dispersing agent.

단일상 페로브스카이트 PMN-PT 분말 합성 과정에서 전구체 분말의 표면을 소량의 magnesia 졸로 코팅하여 구형의 분말을 제조하고자 시도하였다. 질량 감소가 더 이상 발생하지 않도록 정량의 혼합 분말을 55$0^{\circ}C$/lh 열처리하여 얻은 전구체 분말을 0.3-1.0wt% MgO에 해당하는 magnesia졸과 혼합한 후 80$0^{\circ}C$/lh 하소하여 페로브스카이트 단일상 PMN-PT 분말을 얻었다. MgO(0.3)일 경우는 <0.3$\mu\textrm{m}$와~2$\mu\textrm{m}$의 두 종류 크기의 분말로 나타나나, MgO(0.6)과 MgO(1.0)의 경우는 0.5-0.8$\mu\textrm{m}$의 구형 분말을 응집없이 얻을 수 있었다.

Thermite welding is an exceptional process that does not require additional energy supplies, resulting in welded joints that exhibit mechanical properties and conductivity equivalent to those of the parent materials. The global adoption of thermite welding is growing across various industries. However, in Korea, limited research is being conducted on the core technology of thermite welding. Currently, domestic production of thermite powder in Korea involves recycling copper oxide (CuO). Unfortunately, controlling the particle size of waste CuO poses challenges, leading to the unwanted formation of pores and cracks during thermite welding. In this study, we investigate the influence of powder particle size on thermite welding in the production of Cu-thermite powder using waste CuO. We conduct the ball milling process for 0.5-24 h using recycled CuO. The evolution of the powder shape and size is analyzed using particle size analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Furthermore, we examine the thermal reaction characteristics through differential scanning calorimetry. Additionally, the microstructures of the welded samples are observed using optical microscopy and SEM to evaluate the impact of powder particle size on weldability. Lastly, hardness measurements are performed to assess the strengths of the welded materials.

교류 구동 분산형 EL(ACPEL)에 사용되는 ZnS:Cu 청색 형광체를 고상 반응법으로 제조하였다. 1차 소성 후 인위적 결함을 형광체 표면에 도입함으로서 2차 소성 중에 의해 일어나는 ZnS의 상전이 및 EL 발광 휘도에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 즉 1차 소성된 형광체를 ball-mill 공정에서 인위적으로 표면에 defect를 형성시켜 ZnS의 저온상인 cubic으로의 전이가 용이하게 하여 EL구동하에서 발광 휘도를 증가시켰다. Ball-mill의 공정 변수로는 milling 시간과 rpm 등을 고려하여 각 조건에 따른 효과를 고찰하였으며, 발광 spectrum을 측정한 결과, 최적 조건에서 인위적인 결함을 형성하지 않은 형광체 보다 발광 휘도가 약 30% 이상 증가하였다. 또한 각기 다른 ball-mill 조건으로 합성된 형광체의 결정상을 분석하고 비교하였으며 상전이 특성에 따른 발광 휘도 변화를 고찰하였다.

We report refinement of crystalline boron by an attrition ball milling system and the superconducting properties of the $MgB_2$ pellets prepared from the refined boron. In this work, we have conducted the ball milling with only crystalline boron powder, in order to improve homogeneity and control the grain size of the $MgB_2$ that is formed from it. We observed that the crystalline responses in the ball-milled boron became broader and weaker when the ball-milling time was further increased. On the other hand, the $B_{2}O_{3}$ peak became stronger in the powders, resulting in an increase in the amount of MgO within the $MgB_2$ volume. The main reason for this is a greater oxygen uptake. From the perspective of the superconducting properties, however, the sample prepared from boron that was ball milled for 5 hours showed an improvement of critical current density ($J_c$), even with increased MgO phase, under an external magnetic field at 5 and 20 K.

Mechanical alloying (MA) is a powder metallurgy processing technique involving cold welding, fracturing, and rewelding of powder particles in a high-energy ball mill. This has now become an established commercial technique in producing oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) nickel- and iron-based materials. The technique of MA is also capable of synthesizing non-equilibrium phases such as supersaturated solid solutions, metastable crystalline and quasicrystalline intermetallic phases, nanostructures, and amorphous alloys. In this respect, the capabilities of MA are similar to those of another important non-equilibrium processing technique, viz, rapid quenching of metallic melts. however, the science of MA is being investigated only during the past ten years or so. The technique of mechanochemistry, on the other hand, has had a long history and the materials produced this way have found a number of technological applications, e.g., in areas such as hydrogen storage materials, heaters, gas absorber, fertilizers. catalysts, cosmetics, and waste management. The present talk will concentrate on the basic mechanisms of formation of non-equilibrium phases by the technique of MA and these aspects will be compared with those of rapid quenching of metallic melts. Additionally, the variety of technological applications of mechanically alloyed products will be highlighted.
