The high-energy milling is one of the most extended techniques to produce Oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) powder steels for nuclear applications. The consequences of the high energy mill process on the final powders can be measured by means of deformation level, size, morphology and alloying degree. In this work, an ODS ferritic steel, Fe-14Cr-5Al-3W-0.4Ti-0.25Y₂O₃-0.6Zr, was fabricated using two different mechanical alloying (MA) conditions (M_std and M_act) and subsequently consolidated by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS). Milling conditions were set to evidence the effectivity of milling by changing the revolutions per minute (rpm) and dwell milling time. Differences on the particle size distribution as well as on the stored plastic deformation were observed, determining the consolidation ability of the material and the achieved microstructure. Since recrystallization depends on the plastic deformation degree, the composition of each particle and the promoted oxide dispersion, a dual grain size distribution was attained after SPS consolidation. M_act showed the highest areas of ultrafine regions when the material is consolidated at 1100 ℃. Microhardness and small punch tests were used to evaluate the material under room temperature and up to 500 ℃. The produced materials have attained remarkable mechanical properties under high temperature conditions.

Sn-3.5Ag 무연합금을 Cu 및 Alloy42 리드프레임에 납땜접합 (solder joint)하고 미세조직, 젖음성, 전단강도, 시효효과를 측정하여 비교하였다. Cu의 경우, 땜납의 Sn기지상안에 Ag(sub)3Sn과 Cu(sub)6Sn(sub)5상이, 그리고 땜납/리드프레임의 경계면에서는 1∼2㎛ 두께의 Cu(sub)6Sn(sub)5상이 형성되었다. Alloy42의 경우, 기지상내에 있는 낮은 밀도의 Ag(sub)3Sn상만이, 그리고 계면에는 0.5∼1.5㎛ 두께의 FeSn(sub)2이 형성되었다. 한편, Cu에 비해 Alloy42 리드프레임에서 퍼짐면적은 크고 접촉각은 작아 더 우수한 젖음성을 나타내었으나, 전단강도는 35%, 연신율은 75%로 낮았다. 180℃에서 1주일간 시효처리 후, Cu 리드프레임에는 계면에 η-Cu(sub)6Sn(sub)5 층외에 ξ-Cu(sub)3Sn층이 성장하였고, Alloy42 리드프레임에는 기지상내에 Ag(sub)3Sn이 구형으로 조대하게 성장하였고, 계면에는 FeSn(sub)2층만이 약 1.5㎛로 성장하였다.

In this study, porous stainless steel (STS316L) sintered body was fabricated by powder metallurgy method and its properties such as porosity, compressive yield strength, hardness, and permeability were evaluated. 67.5Fe-17Cr- 13Ni-2.5Mo (wt%) powder was produced by a water atomization. The atomized powder was classified into size with under $45{\mu}m$ and over $180{\mu}m$, and then they were compacted with various pressures and sintered at $1210^{\circ}C$ for 1 h in a vacuum atmosphere. The porosities of sintered bodies could be obtained in range of 20~53% by controlling the compaction pressure. Compressive yield strength and hardness were achieved up to 268 MPa and 94 Shore D, respectively. Air permeability was obtained up to $79l/min{\cdot}cm^2$. As a result, mechanical properties and air permeability of the optimized porous body having a porosity of 25~40% were very superior to that of Al alloy.
