본 연구에서는 체가름과 고에너지 볼 밀링 공정이 n-type Bi₂Te₃ 열전 재료의 전기적 및 열적 수송 특성에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 입자 크기가 감소한 분말의 특성을 유지하기 위하여 짧은 시간 안에 소결이 가능한 방전 플라즈마 소결 공정 (spark plasma sintering, SPS)을 진행하였다. 그 결과, 밀링 처리를 진행한 소결체의 열전 성능지수가 향상되었으며, 30분동안 고에너지 볼 밀링 공정을 거친 샘플이 425 K에서 0.78의 최대 열전 성능지수를 가지는 것을 확인하였다. 이는 손쉬운 공정을 이용하여 결정립 크기 감소를 통한 phonon의 격자 산란을 효과적으로 유도한 결과이다. 동시에 n-type Bi₂Te₃에서 anti-site defect와 같은 결함을 제어함으로써 캐리어 농도를 증가시킬 수 있음을 본 연구를 통하여 확인하였다.

현재 압전재료로써 사용되고 있는 PZT계 세라믹스는 우수한 압전 및 유전특성으로 초음파 센서, 압전변압기, 액츄에이터, 필터, 레조네이터와 같은 여러 응용분야에 널리 사용되어지고 있다. 그러나 납을 60%이상 포함하므로 환경오염에 의하여 그 사용에 대한 규제가 강화되고 있어 최근에는 납을 함유하지 않은 무연 환경친화형 압전세라믹스가 주목받고 있다. 현재 무연 조성 세라믹스에는 텅스텐-브론즈 형, 비스머스 레이어형, 페로브스카이트 형 등이 이으며, 그 중 페로보스카이트 혈을 제외하고는 보통 소성법 조제시 낮은 압전특성을 갖는다. 그러므로 압전특성을 증가시키기 위하여 Hot pressing, Hot forging, RTGG(Reactive Template Grain Growth), SPS(Spark Plasma Sintering), 그러나 이는 무연 세라믹스의 대량생산 과정에서 어려운 문제를 가지고 있고, 저가격 관점에서 볼 때 보통소성법이 보다 바람직하다. 그래서 보통소성법으로 NKN세라믹스의 소결성을 향상 시키고 비교적 높은 압전특성을 얻기 위해서 $LiSbO_3$, $LiNbO_3$, $LiTaO_3$, alkaline-earth(Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) 등을 첨가한 논문들이 보고되고 있으며, 이러한 재료들의 kp는 대략 0.3-0.4를 나타내고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 소결온도를 낮추고자 $Ag_2O$를 소결조제로 사용하였고 유전 및 압전특성을 높이고자 소결시간 변화시켜 시편을 제작하여 NKN 세라믹스의 유전 및 압전특성을 조사하였다.

The aerospace and power generation industries have an increasing demand for high-temperature, high-strength materials. However, conventional materials typically lack sufficient fracture toughness and oxidation resistance at high temperatures. This study aims to enhance the high-temperature properties of Nb-Si-Ti alloys through ball milling. To analyze the effects of milling time, the progression of alloying is evaluated on the basis of XRD patterns and the microstructure of alloy powders. Spark plasma sintering (SPS) is employed to produce compacts, with thermodynamic modeling assisting in predicting phase fractions and sintering temperature ranges. The changes in the microstructure and variation in the mechanical properties due to the adjustment of the sintering temperature provide insights into the influence of Nb solid solution, Nb5Si3, and crystallite size within the compacts. By investigating the changes in the mechanical properties through strengthening mechanisms, such as precipitation strengthening, solid solution strengthening, and crystallite refinement, this study aims to verify the applicability of Nb-Si-Ti alloys in advanced material systems.

The effects of Al-substitution on thermoelectric and charge transport properties of BiCuOSe compounds were investigated. The compounds were prepared by a solid-state reaction and consolidated by SPS (spark plasma sintering). In spite of the increase in the hole concentration with increasing Al amounts in BiCuOSe compound, the electrical conductivity at room temperature was kept constant due to the reduction of mobility. However, electrical conductivities of Al-substituted BiCuOSe compounds at elevated temperature (> 600 K) were higher than those of BiCuOSe, and this result was discussed in terms of it's the band gap energy. The Seebeck coefficient was drastically reduced when Al was substituted in Bi site, which indicated that the electronic structure was influenced by the Al-substitution into Bi-site.

In this paper, pure $I_{ph}$ and hybrid carbon nanotube reinforced $I_{ph}$ were sintered using the SPS(spark plasma sintering) method for high densification. A nanosecond laser (${\lambda}=1063nm$, ${\tau}P=10ns$) and a femtosecond laser (${\lambda}=1027nm$, ${\tau}P=380fs$) were installed on an optical system for the micromachining test. The ablation characteristics of the pure $I_{ph}$ and CNT/$I_{ph}$ composites, such as thermal effect and ablation depth, were investigated using FE-SEM and a confocal microscope device. Laser machining results for the two mating materials showed improved performances: CNT/$I_{ph}$ composites showed good surface morphology of hole drilling without a melting zone due to the composites' high thermal properties; also, the ablated depth of CNT/$I_{ph}$ was higher than that of pure $I_{ph}$.

Composites comprising various volume fractions of crystalline nickel and bulk amorphous (BA) were produced by means of electroless coating of nickel on BA powder of $Cu_{54}Ni_6Zr_{22}Ti_{18}$ and subsequent spark plasma sintering (SPS) of coated BA powder. The flow curves of composites at various temperatures in the supercooled liquid region were determined by the uniaxial compression test with various strain rates. During compression at $450^{\circ}C$ with $\dot{\varepsilon}=2\times10^{-3}$, the monolithic BA sample and crystalline-BA composites displayed the superplastic deformation with $\varepsilon>1.4$. At temperatures above $460^{\circ}C$, the stress-strain curve of the monolithic BA sample depicted a sharp peak stress and a fellowing stress drop due to cracking, while those of the crystalline-BA composites displayed work-hardening up to the imposed strain. FEM analysis indicated that a fairly homogeneous strain state prevailed throughout the composite, while a higher level of stress was obtained in a harder BA.

비철계 합금인 알루미늄과 구리 합금은 전기 및 열전도성이 우수하지만 철계 합금대비 상대적으로 기계적 특성은 낮다. 철계 합금인 스테인레스 스틸은 비철계인 알루미늄과 구리 대비 가공성은 나쁘지만 기계적 특성과 내부식성이 우수하여 고강도 공업용 소재로 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 알루미늄과 구리 그리고 스테인레스 스틸을 융복합화 하여 기능 맞춤형 경사기능재료를 분말프로세스를 이용하여 제조하였다. 제조된 경사기능재료는 구리와 철계 합금 대비 경량의 우수한 표면 경도를 나타내었으며 열전도도 역시 단일 알루미늄과 스테인레스 스틸 소재 보다 높은 값을 나타내었다.

Cu-based sulfides have recently emerged as promising thermoelectric (TE) materials due to their low cost, non-toxicity, and abundance. In this research, point defect structure of Cu_2-xZnSnS₄ (x=0.1, 0.2, 0.3) samples were synthesized by the mechanical alloying method. Mixed powders of Cu, Zn, Sn and S were milled using high energy ball milling at a rotation speed of 300 rpm in Ar atmosphere. The milled Cu_2-xZnSnS₄ powders were heat-treated at 723 K for 24 h, and subsequently consolidated using spark plasma sintering (SPS) under an applied pressure of 60 MPa for 15 min. The thermal conductivity of the sintered Cu_2-xZnSnS₄ samples was evaluated. A well-defined Cu_2-xZnSnS₄ powders were successfully formed after milling for 16 h, with the particle sizes mostly distributed in the range of 60-100 nm. The lattice constants of aand cdecreased with increasing composition value x. The thermal conductivity of sintered x=0.1 sample exhibited the lowest value and attained 0.93 W/m K at 673 K.

$HA(hydroxyapatite)/{\beta}-TCP$ (tricalcium phosphate) biomaterial (BCP; biphasic calcium phosphate) is widely used as bone cement or scaffolds material due to its superior biocompatibility. Furthermore, $NH_4HCO_3$ as a space holder (SH) has been used to evaluate feasibility assessment of porous structured BCP as bone scaffolds. In this study, using a spark plasma sintering (SPS) process at 393K and 1373K under 20MPa load, porous $HA/{\beta}-TCP$ biomaterials were successfully fabricated using $HA/{\beta}-TCP$ powders with 10~30 wt% SH, TiH2 as a foaming agent, and MgO powder as a binder. The effect of SH content on the pore size and distribution of the BCP biomaterial was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and a microfocus X-ray computer tomography system (SMX-225CT). The microstructure observations revealed that the volume fraction of the pores increased with increasing SH content and that rough pores were successfully fabricated by adding SH. Accordingly, the cell viabilities of BCP biomaterials were improved with increasing SH content. And, good biological properties were shown after assessment using Hanks balanced salt solution (HBSS).

Ti alloys are extensively used in high-technology application because of their strength, oxidation resistance at high temperature. However, Ti alloys tend to be classified very difficult to cut material. In this paper, The powder synthesis, spark plasma sintering (SPS), bulk material properties such as electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity are systematically examined on $Ti_2AlN$ and $Ti_2AlC$ materials having most light-weight and oxidation resistance among the MAX phases. The bulk samples mainly consisted of $Ti_2AlN$ and $Ti_2AlC$ materials with density close to theoretical value were synthesized by a SPS method. Machining characteristics such as machining time, surface quality are analyzed with measurement of voltage and current waveform according to machining condition of micro-electrical discharge machining with micro-channel shape.
