Fe-doped skutterudite $CoSb_3$ with a nominal composition of $Fe_{x}Co_{4-x}Sb_{12}(0\;{\le}\;x\;{\le}\;2.5)$ has been synthesized by mechanical alloying (MA) of elemental powders, followed by hot pressing. Phase transformations during mechanical alloying and hot pressing were systematically investigated using XRD. Single phase skutterudite was successfully produced by vacuum hot pressing using as-milled powders without subsequent annealing. However, second phase in the form of marcasite structure $FeSb_2$ was found to exist in case of $x\;{\ge}\;2$, suggesting the solubility limit of Fe with Co in this system. Thermoelectric properties as functions of temperature and Fe contents were evaluated for the hot pressed specimens. Fe substitution up to x=1.5 with Co in $Fe_{x}Co_{4-x}Sb_{12}$ appeared to increase thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) and the maximum ZT was found to be 0.78 at 525K in this study.

분말야금법 및 고온진공가압기술, 열간등가압성형기술을 이용하여 알루미늄 금속기 복합재료를 제작하였으며 이들과 관련한 미시역학 기반 강화공정 모델을 개발하였다. 고온, 가압 성형공정은 기지재료의 비탄성거동과 성형체 내부의 기공 제거를 통한 충진을 수반하게 되며 이러한 공정은 압력, 온도 및 강화재의 체적분률 등과 같은 공정변수의 영향을 받게 된다. 따라서 개발된 강화공정 모델을 유한요소해석 프로그램에 적용함으로써 고온진공가압과 열간등가압 동안 기공의 상대밀도 변화에 따른 충진거동을 예측하였고 다양한 공정조건 하에서 실험결과와 잘 일치함을 확인하였다. 완성된 알루미늄 금속기 복합재료의 건전성 평가와 관련하여 인장시험을 수행하였으며 초기 잔존하는 기공의 영향에 따른 제반 기계적 특성을 고찰할 수 있었다.

SiC ultrafine particles of 1, 10, 20 and 30 vol% were dispersed in $\alpha$-Si3N4 matrix and hot-pressed under the condition of 30 MPa at 1800 and 190$0^{\circ}C$ respectively. Physical, mechanical properties and microstructures of sintered Si3N4-SiC nanocomposites were investigated. Flexural strength and density of Si3N4-10 vol% SiC nanocomposites hot-pressed at 190$0^{\circ}C$ represented the 1002 MPa and 97.9%T.D respectively, and it was confirmed as a remarkable improvement of 67% compared to Si3N4 monolith. Fracture toughness was shown as 7.2 MPa.m1/2 when the same composition was hot pressed at 180$0^{\circ}C$. This effect was supposed to be due to the improvement of microstructure by the adequate suppression of the excessive growth of Si3N4 grain with SiC nano-particles.

$Bi_{2}Te_{3}-Sb_{2}Te_{3}$, $Bi_{2}Te_{3}-Bi_{2}Se_{3}$ solid solutions are of great interest as materials for thermoelectric energy conversion. One of the key technologies to ensure the efficiency of thermoelectric device is to obtain chemically homogeneous solid solutions. In this work, the new process with rapid solidification followed by hot pressing was investigated to produce homogeneous thermoelectric materials. Characteristics of the materials were examined with XRD, SEM, EPMA-line scan and bending test. Property variations of the materials were investigated as a function of variables, such as excess Te quantity and hot pressing temperature. Quenched ribbons are very brittle and consisted of homogeneous $Bi_{2}Te_{3}$, $Sb_{2}Te_{3}$ solid solutions. When the process parameters were optimized, the maximum figure of merit was 3.073$\times$$10^{-3}K^{-4}$. The bending strength of the material, hot pressed at 45$0^{\circ}C$, was 5.87 kgf/${mm}^2$.

Fe doped skutterudite $CoSb_3$ with a nominal composition of $Fe_xCo_{1-x}Sb_{12}(0{\leq}x{\leq}2.5)$ have been synthesized by mechanical alloying (MA) of elemental powders, followed by vacuum hot pressing. Phase transformations during mechanical alloying and vacuum hot pressing were systematically investigated using XRD. Single phase skutterudite was successfully produced by vacuum hot pressing using as-milled powders without subsequent annealing. However, second phase of $FeSb_2$ was found to exist in case of $x\geq2$, suggesting the solubility limit of Fe with Co in this system. Thermoelectric properties as functions of temperature and Fe contents were evaluated for the hot pressed specimens. Fe doping up to x=1.5 with Co in $Fe_xCo_{4-x}Sb_{12}$ appeared to increase thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) and the maximum ZT was found to be 0.78 at 525K in this study.

The high TcY1Ba2Cu3Ox superconductor has recently gained widespread interest in the scientific community. The principal problems at the present time are how to densify this material and how to raise the critical current density. To date the majority of samples have had densities of 90%(of theoretical) or less. In this study we report that we obtained density of 96% by Hot-Pressing method.

Alumina matrix composites reinforced with up to 20vol% of aligned SiC whiskers were fabricated by tape casting and hot pressing. Alumina composited with randomly distribution SiC whiskers were also fabricated in order to investigate the effect of whisker alignment on properties of the composites. XRD and optical microscopy were used to examine the whisker orientation. The fracture toughness increased with increasing whisker content, and it was higher in the direction normal to the tape casting direction.

The Hot Stamping process, which is the hot pressing of steel parts using cold dies. can utilize both case of shaping and high strength due to the hardening effect of rapid quenching during the pressing. We carried out experiments of quenching rate and tempering treatments at temperatures of $200^{\circ}C$ and $300^{\circ}C$ and different soaking times. Tn this study, the mechanical properties and microstructure of micro boron alloyed steels after heat treatments are compared.

$\alpha$ - 및 $\beta$-SiC를 출발원료로 하여 일축성형한 후 $1800^{\circ}C$에서 고온가압법으로 소결한 탄화규소에 나타난 우선방위의 정도를 X-ray pole figure analysis로 조사하였다. $\alpha$-SiC를 출발원료로 사용한 경우에 고온 가압소결 후 약한 집합조직을 보인 반면, $\beta$ - SiC를 출발원료로 사용한 경우 고온가압소결 후 강한 집합조직을 보였으며, 이 경우 ${\beta} {\rightarrow} {\alpha}$ 상변태에 기인한 이중미세구조를 나타내었다. 또한, 집합조직의 강도는 고온가압소결 후 행해진 열처리 조건에 따라서도 변화를 보였다.

FeAl 기지 복합재료는 hot-pressing에 의해서 성공적으로 제조할 수 있다. 이러한 FeAl 합금의 기계적 특성에 대한 연구는 많이 진행되었으나 플라즈마 질화에 의한 표면 경화특성에 관한 연구는 아직 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 hot-pressing으로 제조된 소결 복합재료의 미세구조와 플라즈마 질화처리시 표면경화의 관계를 분석하였다. FeAl을 기지로 하는 합금은 플라즈마 질화처리에 의해서 표면경도가 상승하는 경향을 보였고, 이러한 경향은 질화처리 시간이 증가할수록 더욱 뚜렷하였다($\textrm{H}_{\textrm{v}}$ 100gf, 확산층 : 1100~1450kg/$\textrm{mm}^2$, matrix : 330~360kg/$\textrm{mm}^2$). FeAl 합금으로 플라즈마 질화처리에 의해서 매우 우수한 표면경화특성을 얻을 수 있었다. 확산층은 플라즈마 질화처리시간이 증가할수록 두꺼워졌으며, SiC(sub)p의 함유량이 증가함에 따라 확산층은 감소하였다.
