Ti-based bulk metallic glasses with high glass forming ability were developed through a systematic alloy design technique. The main alloy design strategy was the selection of alloying elements that may not be toxic in the human body. The $Ti_{45.0}Cu_{40.1}Zr_{12.7}Si_{2.2}$ alloy could be cast into an amorphous rod with the diameter of 3 mm by a suction casting technique using Cu mold. The compressive strength of the amorphous rod was measured as 1826 MPa. Since the Ti-based amorphous alloys consist of non-toxic elements, they can be widely used as bio-materials and eco-materials with unique and beneficial properties.

Nanostructured metallic materials are synthesized by bottom-up processing which starts with powders for assembling bulk materials or top-down processing starting with a bulk solid. A representative bottom-up and top-down paths for bulk nanostructured/ultrafine grained metallic materials are powder consolidation and severe plastic deformation (SPD) methods, respectively. In this study, the bottom-up powder and top-down SPD approaches were combined in order to achieve both full density and grain refinement without grain growth, which were considered as a bottle neck of the bottom-up method using conventional powder metallurgy of compaction and sintering. For the powder consolidation, equal channel angular pressing (ECAP), one of the most promising method in SPD, was used. The ECAP processing associated with stress developments was investigated. ECAP for powder consolidation were numerically analyzed using the finite element method (FEM) in conjunction with pressure and shear stress.

In this study, nanocrystalline Cu-Ni bulk materials with various compositions were cold compacted by a shock compaction method using a single-stage gas gun system. Since the oxide layers on powder surface disturbs bonding between powder particles during the shock compaction process, each nanopowder was hydrogen-reduced to remove the oxide layers. X-ray peak analysis shows that hydrogen reduction successfully removed the oxide layers from the nano powders. For the shock compaction process, mixed powder samples with various compositions were prepared using a roller mixer. After the shock compaction process, the density of specimens increased up to 95% of the relative density. Longitudinal cross-sections of the shock compacted specimen demonstrates that a boundary between two powders are clearly distinguished and agglomerated powder particles remained in the compacted bulk. Internal crack tended to decrease with an increase in volumetric ratio of nano Cu powders in compacted bulk, showing that nano Cu powders has a higher coherency than nano Ni powders. On the other hand, hardness results are dominated by volume fraction of the nano Ni powder. The crystalline size of the shock compacted bulk materials was greatly reduced from the initial powder crystalline size since the shock wave severely deformed the powders.

In present work, work-hardening behavior of TiCu-based bulk metallic glass composite with B2 particles has been studied by systemic structural and mechanical investigations. After yield, pronounced work-hardening of the alloy was clearly exhibited, which was mainly related to the martensitic transformation as well as the deformation twinning in B2 particles during deformation. At the early plastic deformation stage (work-hardening stage), the stress-induced martensitic transformation from B2 phase to B19' phase and deformation-induced twinning of B19' phase was preferentially occurred in the around interface areas between B2 phase and amorphous matrix by stress concentration. The higher hardness value was observed in vicinity of interface within the B2 particles which are probably connected with martensitic transformation and deformation twinning. This reveals that the work-hardening phenomenon of this bulk metallic glass composite is a result of the hardening of B2 particles embedded in amorphous matrix.

Ni based($Ni_{57}Zr_{20}Ti_{18}Si_2Sn_3$) bulk metallic glass(BMG) powders were produced by a gas atomization process, and ductile Cu powders were mixed using a spray drying process. The Ni-based amorphous powder and Cu mixed Ni composite powders were compacted by a spark plasma sintering (SPS) processes into cylindrical shape. The relative density varied with the used SPS mold materials such as graphite, hardened steel and WC-Co hard metal. The relative density increased from 87% to 98% when the sintering temperature increased up to $460^{\circ}C$ in the WC-Co hard metal mold.

In filler loaded paper, the size of the filler affects its strength, optical and surface properties. As the size of the filler increases, tensile strength and bulk usually increases, opacity decreases, and smoothness becomes worse. Pre-flocculation of GCC (grounded calcium carbonate) makes large diameter flocs at aqueous medium that consists of multiple GCC particles, but they collapse to 2-dimensional shape in dried paper and makes low bulk paper. The hybrid calcium carbonate (HCC) that was made by in-situ $CaCO_3$ formation between GCC in aqueous medium made high bulk paper without harming tensile strength, bulk, opacity, and smoothness. The GCC that has equivalent size as HCC failed to make high opacity and smoothness as much as HCC.

When the returned scrap of bulk amorphous alloy is remelted, impurities such as oxides and intermetallic compounds increase. Glass forming ability of its scrap is deteriorated remarkably. Melt fluxing technique is introduced to enhance the glass forming ability during melting and freezing of bulk amorphous alloys. Cu and Zr based alloys are chosen. Small pieces of these alloy scraps and $B_2O_3$ flux are put together in a quartz tube. Cyclic heating and cooling are done by induction heating and water quenching or air cooling. Melting fluxing was effective for both Cu-based and Zr-based alloy, and their glass forming abilities were improved with increasing the number of fluxing.

The effect of Sr addition on the flexural strength of bulk SiOC ceramics was investigated in polymer-derived SiOC ceramics prepared by conventional hot pressing. Crack-free, dense SiOC discs with a 30 mm diameter were successfully fabricated from commercially available polysiloxane with 1 mol% strontium isopropoxide derived Sr as an additive. Agglomerates formed after the pyrolysis of polysiloxane led to the formation of domain-like structures. The flexural strength of bulk SiOC was strongly dependent on the domain size formed and Sr addition. Both the minimization of the agglomerate size in the starting powders by milling after pyrolysis and the addition of Sr, which reinforces the SiOC structure, are efficient ways to improve the flexural strength of bulk SiOC ceramics. The typical flexural strength of bulk Sr-doped SiOC ceramics fabricated from submicron-sized SiOC powders was ~209 MPa.

Bulk metallic glass (BMG) shows higth strength, high elastic limit, corrosion resistance and good wear resistance and soft magnetic properties and has been considering as a candidate for new structural materials. But they show limited macroscopic plasticity and lack of tensile ductility due to highly localized shear deformation, which should be solved for real structural application. In this paper researches on the enhancement of plasticity of BMG were reviewed briefly. Introducing heterogeneous structure in glass is effective to induce more shear transformation zones (STZs) active for multiple shear band initiation and also to block the propagating shear band. Several methods such as BMG alloy design for high Poisson's ratio, addition of alloying element having positive heat of mixing, pre-straining BMG and variety of BMG composites have been developed for homogenous distribution of locally weak region, where local strain can be initiated. Therefore enhancement of plasticity of BMG is normally accompanied with some penalty of strength loss.
