Nano Cu powders, synthesized by Pulsed Wire Evaporation (PWE) method, have been compacted by Magnetic Pulsed Cojpaction(MPC) method. The microstructure and mechanical properties were analyzed. The optimal condition for proper mechanical properties with nanostructure was found. Both pure nano Cu powders and passivated nano Cu powders were compacted, and the effect of passivated layer on the mechanical properties was investigated. The compacts by MPC, which had ultra-fine and uniform nanostructure, showed higher density of 95% of theoretical density than that of static compaction. The pur and passivated Cu compacted at $300^{\circ}C$ exhibited maximum hardnesses of 248 and 260 Hv, respectively. The wear resistance of those compacts corresponded to the hardness.

This article presents the challenges toward the successful consolidation of $Al_2O_3$ nanopowder using magnetic pulsed compaction (MPC). In this research the ultrafine-structured $Al_2O_3$ bulks have been fabricated by the combined application of magnetic pulsed compaction (MPC) and subsequent sintering, and their properties were investigated. The obtained density of $Al_2O_3$ bulk prepared by the combined processes was increased with increasing MPC pressure from 0.5 to 1.25 GPa. Relatively higher hardness and fracture toughness in the MPCed specimen at 1.25 GPa were attributed to the retention of the nanostructure in the consolidated bulk without cracks. The higher fracture toughness could be attributed to the crack deflection by homogeneous distribution and the retention of nanostructure, regardless of the presence of porosities. In addition, the as consolidated $Al_2O_3$ bulk using magnetic pulsed compaction showed enhanced breakdown voltage.

In this research, fine-structure TiO2 bulks were fabricated in a combined application of magnetic pulsed compaction (MPC) and subsequent sintering and their densification behavior was investigated. The obtained density of $TiO_2$ bulk prepared via the combined processes increased as the MPC pressure increased from 0.3 to 0.7 GPa. Relatively higher density (88%) in the MPCed specimen at 0.7 GPa was attributed to the decrease of the inter-particle distance of the pre-compacted component. High pressure and rapid compaction using magnetic pulsed compaction reduced the shrinkage rate (about 10% in this case) of the sintered bulks compared to general processing (about 20%). The mixing conditions of PVA, water, and $TiO_2$ nano powder for the compaction of $TiO_2$ nano powder did not affect the density and shrinkage of the sintered bulks due to the high pressure of the MPC.

N-Type $SbI_3$-doped $95%{Bi_2}{Te_3}-5%{Bi_2}{Se_3}$ compounds were prepared by a gas atomization and Magnetic Pulsed Compaction process. The dynamic recrystallization and thermoelectric properties of the MPCed bulks with consolidation temperatures and times were investigated by a combination of microscopy, XRD and thermoelectric property testing. The microstructure of MPCed bulk shows homogeneous and fine distribution through consolidated bulks due to dynamic recrystallization during hot MPC. This research presented the challenges toward the successful consolidation of thermoelectric powder using magnetic pulsed compaction (MPC).

In this research, a new method for consolidation of Al-20wr%Si powders using a magnetic pulsed compaction (MPC) was introduced. A wide Range of experimental studies were carried out to characterize the mechanical properties and microstructure of the MPCed materials by means of SEM, TEM and tensile test. It was found that the effective properties like higher strength and full density were achieved while maintaining a fine microstructure. Consolidated bulk by MPC showed higher density without any crack than that of the general process. With increasing the number of MPC compaction, the density and mechanical properties were also greatly improved.

Nano Fe-6.5wt%Si powders have been synthesized by mechano-chemical process (MCP) for an application of soft magnetic core. Owing to hard and brittle characteristics of Fe-6.5Si nano powders having large surface area, it is very difficult to reach high density more than 70% of theoretical density (~7.4 g/$cm_3$) by cold compaction. To overcome such problem a magnetic pulsed compaction (MPC), which is one of dynamic compaction techniques, was applied. The green density was achieved about 78% (~5.8 g/$cm_3$) by MPC at room temperature.

N-Type $SbI_3$ doped $95%Bi_2Te_3+5%\;Bi_2Se_3$ compounds were newly fabricated by the combination of gas atomization process and Magnetic Pulsed Compaction process. The thermoelectric properties of the MPCed bulks according to consolidation temperatures were investigated by a combination of microscopy, XRD and thermoelectric property testing. The microstructure of MPCed bulk shows homogeneous and fine distribution through consolidated bulks due to the high solidification of compound powders. The research presented the challenges toward the successful consolidation of thermoelectric powder using magnetic pulsed compaction (MPC) and analysis of thermoelectric properties of the consolidated bulks.

Sintered bulks of $ZrO_2$ nanopowders were fabricated by magnetic pulsed compaction (MPC) and subsequent two-step sintering employed in this study and the formability effects of nanopowder on mixing condition, pressure and sintering temperature were investigated. The addition of PVA induced and increase in the formability of the sintered bulk. But cracked bulks were obtained on sintering with addition of over 10 wt% PVA due to generation of crack during sintering. The optimum compaction pressure during MPC was 1.0 GPa and mixing conditions included using 5.0 wt% PVA. The optimum processing condition included MPC process, followed by two-step sintering (first at 1000 and then at $1450^{\circ}C$). The sintered bulks with the diameter of 30 mm under these conditions were found to have non crack, ~99% density.

In this research, the fine-structure TiO2+Ti bulks have been fabricated by the combined application of magnetic pulsed compaction (MPC) and subsequent sintering, and their densification behavior was investigated. The obtained density of $TiO_2$+Ti bulk prepared by the combined processes was increased with increasing MPC pressure from 0.7 to 1.7 GPa. Relatively higher density (88%) in the MPCed specimen at 0.7Gpa was attributed to the decreasing of the inter-particle distance of pre-compacted component. High pressure and rapid compaction by Magnetic Pulsed Compaction could reduce shrinkage rate (about 10%) of the sintered bulks compared to that of general processing (about 20%). Mixing conditions of PVA, water, Ti and $TiO_2$ nano powder for compaction of $TiO_2$ nano powder did not affect on density and shrinkage of the sintered bulks due to high pressure of MPC.
