Four kinds of plasma blacks were prepared by plasma pyrolysis under various metallic catalysts coated on honeycomb, and investigated the catalytic effect on the characteristics of the plasma blacks prepared under plasma pyrolysis condition. Pt, Pt-Rh, and Pd catalysts were employed as active materials to prepare the plasma blacks. In the experimental range studied, the metallic catalysts influenced on surface area, particle size, surface oxygen content and electrical conductivity of the plasma blacks prepared. It was showed that more dense particle of plasma blacks were prepared under existence of metallic catalysts. Presence of the metallic catalyst reduces the electrical resistivity of plasma blacks due to the decrease in the amount of oxygen functional groups. The highest electrical conductivity of plasma black was observed in the Pt catalyst and then followed by those Pt-Rh, Pd and bare cordierite honeycomb.

In the present study, Zr-base metallic glass(MG)/diamond composites are fabricated using a combination of gas-atomization and spark plasma sintering (SPS). The densification behaviors of mixtures of soft MG and hard diamond powders during consolidation process are investigated. The influence of mixture characteristics on the densification is discussed and several mechanism explaining the influence of diamond particles on consolidation behaviour are proposed. The experimental results show that consolidation is enhanced with increasing diamond/Metallic Glass(MG) size ratio, while the diamond fraction is fixed.

To evaluate the clinical effectiveness of expandable metallic stents, the stents were implanted under endoscopic guidance with local anesthesia or general anesthesia for maintenance of the constructed subglottic space of trachea. The nine patients with respiration difficulty were subjected for expandable stents. The stenosis of upper airway were due to the framework problem of subglottic trachea and tracheostoma after total laryngectomy. Stents were constructed of 0.4 m stainless steel win in a zigzag configuration of 8 bends. A single stent was 20 m in diameter when fully expanded and 20 mm long. The stents were placed accurately to the stenotic site and followed to the 5 month after stent placement. The stenotic area became narrowed with overgrowing of granuloma in all patients and the metallic stents were removed and the stenotic area reconstructed surgically. As conclusion, this technique for the treatment of the subglottic trachea showed simple and safe, but highly recurred due to overgrowing of granuloma. We suggest that the expandable metallic stent is not encouraging in this study.

In order to ensure that the prototype corresponds as closely as possible to the serial part subsequently to be manufactured, the materials used for the prototye should, wherever possible, be identical to those used in production. In case of metallic parts, however, this demand is still not completely fulfilled by the available Rapid Prototyping techniques. Since only conventional manufacturing processes caan currentlybe used to produce metallic prototypes directly, these are extremely cost and labor intensive. For this reason, work is being undertaken worldwide to develop Selective Laser Sintering (referred to SLS) and Laser Generating for direct manufacture of metallic parts. In this paper the results of both process developments are reported. As the present results show, they have great application potentials in prototyping tools, especially molds and dies.

Catalytic effects of metallic salts on the combustion of diesel fuel oil have been studied. In the case of organometallic salt, the active species are the metallic oxides resulted from combustion of the salts. The oxides act only on the residual solid carbon produced from the fuel oil combustion. The catalytic activity can be explained with the semiconductor theory just as in the case of the gas phase reaction. The chemical rate constant of the combustion of carbon, the soot from diesel fuel oil, is found to be $k_c=1.1{\times}10^4\;exp$ (-16,600/T) below $800^{\circ}K$. By addition of metallic oxides, the rate constant increases remarkably. This work has substantiated the belief that the effect of the metallic salts on the fuel oil combustion can conveniently be studied by checking directly the effect of the corresponding metallic oxide on the soot carbon.

At room temperature, metallic glasses deform inhomogeneously by strain localization into narrow bands as a result of yielding due to an external force. When shear bands are generated during deformation, often nanocrystals form at the shear bands. Experimental results on the deformation of bulk metallic glass in the current study suggest that the occurrence of nanocrystallization at a shear band implies the loading condition that induces deformation is more triaxial in nature than uniaxial. Under a compressive stress state, the geometrical constraint strain imposed by the stress triaxiality plays a crucial role in the deformation-induced nanocrystallization at the shear bands.

Although bulk metallic glasses have many outstanding aspects in their chemical, mechanical or functional properties, some critical problems still hinder their wide application. The most important one is the brittle nature of them, which is the serious problem to structural application. So, to use viscous flow is now the only competent way to form bulk metallic glass. In this study, we investigated the basic nature of viscous flow of Zr-base bulk metallic glass, vitrelloy 1, in terms of process variables. The results were used to design the thermo-mechanical process composed of heating, holding, pressing, and cooling, which have unique influence on the glass transition and crystallization behavior. We adopted small load scale and dies with nano/micro patterns on them. The results were evaluated using several analytical methods.

In this paper, a modified and representative unit cell model was employed to study the crush behaviour of a closed cell metallic foam. The unit cell which captures the main geometrical features of the metallic foam considered was used to simulate crush behaviour in metallic foams. Both analytical using limit analysis and numerical using the finite element method were used to study the collapse behaviour of the cell. The analytical crushing stress of the foam was compared with FE results and was found to be in good agreement.

P/M high speed steels(1.28% C, 4.20% Cr, 6.40% W, 5.00% Mo, 3.10% V, bal. Fe) from two different venders were applied to powder compacting punch. The test results show that failure lifes were very different between two punches. These were no difference in volume fraction and mean size of carbides(MC or M6C) but non-metallic inclusions in two punches. Small amount of non-metallic inclusion in the punch did not greatly affect impact energy and transverse rupture strength (TRS). But, fatigue life was drastically decreased by non-metallic inclusions. These results show that fatigue failure was initated around non-metallic inclusion by cyclic load and the fatigue life was greatly affected by the presence of non-metallic inclusions in the punch.

In this study, it evaluate the electromagnetic pulse shielding performance of amorphous metallic fiber reinforced cement composite with other steel fiber reinforced cement composite. Hooked-ended steel fiber, smooth steel fiber and amorphous metallic fiber were reinforced 2.0 vol.% in cement composites respectively. The electromagnetic pulse shielding performance was evaluated by MIL-STD-188-125-1. As a result, shielding performance of amorphous metallic fiber reinforced cement composite was higher than Hooked-ended and smooth steel fiber reinforced cement composites. In addition, the relationship between the electrical conductivity and the electromagnetic pulse shielding performance of the cement composite was confirmed.
