The dispersion of WC grains Into the interior of an eutectic liquid has been studied by superimposing the eutectic WC-85wt.%Co liquid on the top surface of presintered WC-l0wt.%Co alloy compacts. The heavy WC grains diffused into the interior of liquid from the WC-l0wt.%Co compacts. According to increasing the treating temperatures and times, the dispersion distance from WC-l0wt.%Co substrates increased. The fine WC grains diffused into the liquid faster than the coarse WC grains. The high microstructural stability of WC-Co alloys having the heavier WC grains dispersed in a lighter Co-rich liquid was attributed to Brownian motion of WC grains in liquid. The motion of WC grains in the liquid appears to be same with the colloid(the disperse phase) in a dispersing medium. The dihedral angle of 0 degree of WC-Co at. toy seems one of key parameters, which enables the WC-Co alloys to have high structural stability without settling the WC grains during liquid phase sintering.

WC-Co와 WC-Co 초경합금중 WC/WC 입계의 구조와 입계 편석상태를 알아볼 목적으로 HRTEM과 EDS를 이용하여 연구하였다. 일부의 입계들은 액상에 의하여 분리된 상태로 관찰되었으나, 상당수는 원자적 상태의 연소계면이었다. 또 연속계면 중 WC-Co 합금에서는 Co 상이 편석되어 있었으며, WC-VC-Co 합금에서는 Co와 V이 동시에 편석되어 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그 편석의 폭은 약6nm이었다. 연속 계면 중 V의 편석은 소결 또는 열처리 시에 일어나는 입계 이동을 억제하는 데 효과적인 역할을 할 것으로 여겨졌다. 동시에 이것은 WC-Co 초경합금에서 VC 첨가에 의한 입성상 억제기구를 설명할 수 있는 것으로 사료되었다.

The codeposition behavior of WC particles from an additive-free nickel sulfate and sulfamate solution has been investigated. Electroplating of Ni/WC composites was carried out at different current density with variation of WC particle size. The Guglielmi adsorption mechanism is applied to the electroplating of the fine WC in Ni matrix. The contents of WC in Ni composite coating were increased both by increasing current density and WC concentration in the bath. The hardness of Ni/WC composite coating at low current density is higher than that at high current density since finer WC particles dispersed through the coating. The codeposition behaviors of Co coated WC particles were also investigated. Conducting layer of particles promoted the codeposition behavior of Ni/WC-Co composite coatings.

본 연구에서는 텅스텐산암모늄(APT, Ammonium Paratungstate, (NH₄)₁₀[W₁₂O₄₆H₁₀])이 사용되지 않는 친환경 초경합금 슬러지 재활용 공정을 통해 초경합금 주원료인 텅스텐 탄화물 분말을 합성하고자 하였다. 초경합금 슬러지에 대한 산 처리를 통해 텅스텐산(H₂WO₄) 추출 및 결정화를 수행하고 결정화된 텅스텐산을 텅스텐 탄화물의 원료로 사용하였다. H₂WO₄에 대한 탄화환원을 통해 텅스텐탄화물 (WC) 분말이 합성되었고 합성된 WC 분말은 200~700nm 수준의 결정립으로 구성되어 있음이 확인되었다. 이는 현재 절삭공구로 가장 널리 사용되는 1~3㎛ 입도의 상용 WC 분말에 비해 미세한 것으로 텅스텐 금속 분말에 대한 고온(1,700℃ 이상) 고상 탄화법을 통해 제조되는 상용 WC 분말과 달리 H₂WO₄ 나노 결정립에 대한 탄화환원을 통해 WC 분말이 합성되었기 때문으로 사료된다. H₂WO₄로 부터 합성된 WC 분말의 경우 탄화환원에 의해 탄소의 제거가 수월하여 상용 WC 분말에 비해 잔류 탄소가 적은 것으로 확인되었으며 작은 결정립 크기로 인해 초경합금 원료로 사용되었을 때 WC-Co 복합체 내 WC 입자의 성장이 활발하게 일어나 H₂WO₄로부터 합성된 WC 분말이 적용된 WC-Co 복합체의 경우 WC 입자가 조대하고 파괴인성이 우수한 것으로 확인되었다.

WC-Co 초경합금의 항자력과 자기포화도를 평가하여 합금조직과 이에 따른 기계적 성질의 예측에 관해 연구하였다. WC 입경이 다르고 탄소함량 및 소결온도가 다른 WC-8%-Co 초경합금을 분말 야금법에 의해 제조하였다. 항자력과 자기포화도와 같은 WC-Co 합금의 자기적 특성은 합금조성 및 조직에 크게 의존하였다. 미소한 합금탄소량의 변화와 WC 입도의 차이에 의해서도 WC-Co 합금의 자기적 특성과 경도 및 항절력이 크게 변화하였다. WC 입도가 미세할수록 소결합금의 항자력과 경도는 증가하였고, 항자력은 경도의 증가와 비례하였다. WC-8%Co 합금의 화학 양론적 조성 아래로 카본함량이 감소하면 자기포화도와 항절력이 떨어지고 $\eta$상의 체적률도 꾸준히 증가하였다. WC-Co 합금에 있어서 자기포화도는 항자력과 반비례하였다.

Expensive PCBN or ceramic cutting tools are used for processing of difficult-to-cut materials such as Ti and Ni alloy materials. These tools have the problem of breaking easily due to their high hardness but low fracture toughness. To solve these problems, cutting tools that form various coating layers are used in low-cost WC-Co hard material tools, and research on various tool materials is being conducted. In this study, binderless-WC, WC-6 wt%Co, WC-6 wt%Co-1 wt% Mo₂C, and WC-6 wt%Co-2.5 wt% Mo₂C hard materials are densified using horizontal ball milled WC-Co, WC-Co-Mo₂C powders, and spark plasma sintering process (SPS process). Each SPSed Binderless-WC, WC-6 wt%Co-1 wt% Mo₂C, and WC-6 wt%Co-2.5 wt% Mo₂C hard materials are almost completely dense, with relative density of up to 99.5 % after the simultaneous application of pressure of 60 MPa and almost no significant change in grain size. The average grain sizes of WC for Binderless-WC, WC-6 wt%Co-1 wt% Mo₂C, and WC-6 wt%Co-2.5 wt% Mo₂C hard materials are about 0.37, 0.6, 0.54, and 0.43 ㎛, respectively. Mechanical properties, microstructure, and phase analysis of SPSed Binderless-WC, WC-6 wt%Co-1 wt% Mo₂C, and WC-6 wt%Co-2.5 wt% Mo₂C hard materials are investigated.

The Ag/WC electrical contacts were prepared via powder metallurgy using 60 wt% Ag, 40 wt% WC, and small amounts of Co₃O₄ with varying WC particle sizes. After the fabrication of the contact materials, microstructure observations confirmed that WC-1 had an average grain size (AGS) of 0.27 ㎛, and WC-2 had an AGS of 0.35 ㎛. The Ag matrix in WC-1 formed fine grains, whereas a significantly larger and continuous growth of the Ag matrix was observed in WC-2. This indicates the different flow behaviors of liquid Ag during the sintering process owing to the different WC sizes. The electrical conductivities of WC-1 and WC-2 were 47.8% and 60.4%, respectively, and had a significant influence on the Ag matrix. In particular, WC-2 exhibited extremely high electrical conductivity owing to its large and continuous Ag-grain matrix. The yield strengths of WC-1 and WC-2 after compression tests were 349.9 MPa and 280.7 MPa, respectively. The high yield strength of WC-1 can be attributed to the Hall-Petch effect, whereas the low yield strength of WC-2 can be explained by the high fraction of high-angle boundaries (HAB) between the WC grains. Furthermore, the relationships between the microstructure, electrical/mechanical properties, and deformation mechanisms were evaluated.

This study was performed to evaluate the effects of input ratios of bulking material in aerobic composting of food wastes on variation of colony forming units(CFU) of fungi. Wood chips were used as a bulking material. Volume ratios of food wastes to wood chips in reactor of Control, WC-1 and WC-2 were 10/0, 10/5 and 10/10, respectively. Reactors were operated for 24 days with I hour stirring by 1rpm and 2 hours of the forced aeration rate of $80L/min{\cdot}m^3$ per day. WC-2 reached high temperature range faster than WC-1, and the maximum temperature of WC-2 was higher than that of WC-1. WC-2 reached high pH range faster than WC-1. and the maximum pH of WC-2 was higher than that of WC-1. WC-2 reached high Log(CFU/gram) range faster than WC-I, and the maximum Log(CFU/gram) of WC-2 was higher than that of WC-1. These all mean that the reaction velocity of composting of WC-2 was faster than that of WC-1. The profile of fungi changes in Log(CFU/gram) was similar to that of temperature changes (r=0.8861) not pH changes (r=0.1631).

WC-10wt%Co-Al2O3 ceramic composites, using both the SHS (Self-propagating High Temperature Synthesis) synthesized WC powder method and commercial WC powder, were prepared by varing WC-Co/Al2O3 vol% ratio and sintering temperature (1350℃∼1650℃) for 1 hr in Ar atmosphere. Mechanical characterization has been investigated by Instron meterial testing system and Vicker's hardness test. Compositional and structural chracterizations were carried out by energy-dispersive analysis of X-ray (EDAX) data and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Electrical characterization was carried out by the electrical resistivity measurement using 4-point probe method. As sintering period increased and Al2O3 contents decreased in WC-10wt%Co-Al2O3 ceramic composite, shrinkage and relative density increased, resulting in maximum values at 1600℃. Also the major matrix phase changed with increasing Al2O3 content from 0 to 100 vol%. It was also identified by SEM, EDAX, and electrical resistivity measurement. Based on the results of analysis of flexural strength, toughness and hardness, the mechanical properties of WC-10wt%Co-Al2O3 ceramic composites using the SHS synthesized WC powder were better than those WC-10wt%Co-Al2O3 ceramic composites using commercial WC powder because WC-10wt%Co-Al2O3 ceramic composites using the SHS synthesized WC powder were sintered very well due to small initial particle size. By the addition of 40 vol% Al2O3 [60(WC=10wt%Co)-40Al2O3], it was possible to obtain a proper candidate as a superalloy.

서로 다른 입자크기를 갖는 WC와 Co 분말 원료를 사용하여 $WC-10\;wt\%$Co 초경합금을 제조하였다. 이로부터 WC와 Co 원로. 입자크기가 제조된 초경합금의 성질에 미치는 영향에 대해 고찰하였다. WC 원료 입자크기가 클수록 제조된 초경합금이 파괴인성이 높고 경도는 낮게 나타나는데, 이러한 경향은 Co 원료 입자크기에 크게 영향 받지 않음을 알 수 있었다. Co 원료 크기의 영향 외에도 Co 원료 크기가 초경합금의 특성에 영향을 주는 것으로 밝혀졌는데, 동일한 WC 원료를 사용하여도 미세한 Co 원료를 사용할 경우, 보다 조대한 WC를 함유하여 인성이 우수한 초경합금을 제조할 수 있었다. 이로부터 Co 원료 입자크기가 초경합금의 미세구조 및 그 특성에 중요한 역할을 함을 알 수 있었다
