Interest in three-dimensional (3D) printing processes has grown significantly, and several types have been developed. These 3D printing processes are classified as Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), Stereo-Lithography Apparatus (SLA), and Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM). SLS can be applied to many materials, but because it uses a laser-based material removal process, it is expensive. SLA enables fast and precise manufacturing, but available materials are limited. FDM printing's benefits are its reasonable price and easy accessibility. However, metal printing using FDM can involve technical problems, such as suitable component supply or the thermal expansion of the heating part. Thus, FDM printing primarily uses materials with low melting points, such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) or polylactic acid (PLA) resin. In this study, an FDM process for enabling metal printing is suggested. Particularly, the nozzle and heatsink for this process are focused for stable printing. To design the nozzle and heatsink, multi-physical phenomena, including thermal expansion and heat transfer, had to be considered. Therefore, COMSOL Multiphysics, an FEM analysis program, was used to analyze the maximum temperature, thermal expansion, and principal stress. Finally, its performance was confirmed through an experiment.

This paper aims to focus on the microwave processing of thick films which is a fast, cheap technique and could be the alternative to the currently used conventional high temperature processing technique. Microwave processing has gained worldwide acceptance as a novel method for heating and sintering a variety of materials, as it offers specific advantages in terms of speed, energy efficiency, process simplicity, finer microstructures and lower environmental hazards. Silver conducting thick films were prepared and processed in the household microwave oven. The films sintered at different time period by keeping the other parameter such as microwave power, film thickness etc constant. The microstructure analysis revealed that the surface morphology of the microwave processed films become compact with respect to the processing time. The sheet resistance for microwave sintered silver films is in the range of 0.003 to $1.207{\Omega}/{\Box}$ where as the films fired at 750 and $850^{\circ}C$ showed the resistance of 0.009 and $0.003{\Omega}/{\Box}$ which can be comparable. The results revealed that the microstructure of the microwave sintered films has more uniform and compact surface than that of the conventionally fired films. The paper reports upon the preparation of silver thick film by screen printing technique and processing the same by microwave which also compared with the conventionally processed thick films.

Ion implantation, photo-lithography, Ar ion milling과 hot press 법을 이용한 micro-fabrication techrique을 사용하여 고순도 알루미나 단결정인 사파이어의 내부에, 조절된 Ca의 첨가량을 갖고 있는, crack과 비슷한 형태의 기공들을 형성시켰다. 이 bi-cryslal을 각각의 온도에서 열처리하여 Ca 이온이 고온에서 알루미나의 morphology와 hcaling에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 열처리 온도가 올라감에 따라서 crack-like pore의 내부에 hcxagonal bridging ligaments가 생성되었는데, 열처리 온도와 Ca의 첨가량이 증가할수록 크기가 커지는 것을 관찰할 수 있었고, 생성된 hexagonal bndgmg ligaments는 열처리가 진행됨에 따라 서서히 커지면서 모서리가 둥글어지는 현상을 관찰할 수 있었다. Bicrystal 내부에 형성된 crack-like pore는 열처리가 진행되면서 edge regression. ligamcnt growth 및 flow의 3가지의 특징적인 형태로 진행되었다. 이때 edge regression은 상대적으로 저온에서부터 전체 crack-like pore에서 서서히 일어나기 시작하였으며, ligament growth는 일부 crack-like pore에서 진행되있으며, 대단히 빠른 속도로 crack healing이 진행됨을 추정할 수 있었다. Flow는 $1800^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온에서 모든 crack-like pore에 걸쳐서 느리게 일어남을 알 수 있었다.

Herein, a series of g-C₃N₄ modified Bi₂MoO₆ nanocomposites using Bi₂MoO₆ and melamine as original materials are fabricated via sintering process. For presynthesis of Bi₂MoO₆ an ultrasonic-assisted hydrothermal technique is researched. The structure and composition of the nanocomposites are characterized by Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and high-resolution field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The improved photoelectrochemical properties are studied by photocurrent density, EIS, and amperometric i-t curve analysis. It is found that the structure of Bi₂MoO₆ nanoparticles remains intact, with good dispersion status. The as-prepared g-C₃N₄/Bi₂MoO₆ nanocomposites (BMC 5-9) are selected and investigated by SEM analysis, which inhibits special morphology consisting of Bi₂MoO₆ nanoparticles and some g-C₃N₄ nanosheets. The introduction of small sized g-C₃N₄ nanosheets in sample BMC 9 is effective to improve the charge separation and transfer efficiency, resulting in enhancing of the photoelectric behavior of Bi₂MoO₆. The improved photoelectronic behavior of g-C₃N₄/Bi₂MoO₆ may be attributed to enhanced charge separation efficiency, photocurrent stability, and fast electron transport pathways for some energy applications.

The purpose of this study is to develop a high-energy neutron shielding material applied in proton therapy environment. Composite shielding material consisting of 10.00 wt% boron carbide particles (B₄C), 13.64 wt% surface-modified cross-linked polyethylene (PE), and 76.36 wt% tungsten particles were fabricated by hot-pressure sintering method, where the optimal ratio of the composite is determined by the shielding effect under the neutron field generated in typical proton therapy environment. The results of Differential Scanning Calorimetry measurements (DSC) and tensile experiment show that the composite has good thermal and mechanical properties. In addition, the high energy-neutron shielding performance of the developed material was evaluated using cyclotron proton accelerator with 100 MeV proton. The simulation shows a 99.99% decrease in fast neutron injection after 44 cm shielding, and the experiment result show a 99.70% decrease. Finally, the shielding effect of replacing part of the shielding material of the proton therapy hall with the developed material was simulated, and the results showed that the total neutron injection decreased to 0.99‰ and the neutron dose reduced to 1.10‰ before the enhanced shielding. In summary, the developed material is expected to serve as a shielding enhancement material in the proton therapy environment.

$YBa_2Cu_3O_{6+x}(Y123)-Ag$ 초전도 선재를 0/20 wt%의 은(Ag)을 첨가한 발화합성분말과 고상반응분말을 사용하여 플라스틱 압출법으로 제조하였다. 플라스틱 압출법은 분말제조, 플라스틱 paste 제조, 다이 압축, binder 소각 및 소결공정을 포함한다. 양질의 초전도체를 제조하려면 원료물질이 균질하고 미세한 분말이어야 한다. 0/20 wt%를 첨가한 $Y_2O_3-BaCO_3-CuO$ precursor 분말을 발화합성(PS)법과 고상반응(MM)법으로 제조하였다. 원료분말이 Y123 초전도상으로 전이되는 생성속도를 공기중에서 여러온도와 시간별로 반응시켜 알아보았다. 발화합성법으로 제조한 분말이 고상반응법으로 제조한 분말보다 Y123상으로 빠르게 전이되었다. 이것은 PS법으로 제조한 분말이 미세한 크기와 균질한 화학적 조성으로 인해 Y123상으로 빠른 전이를 한 것이기 때문이다. 플라스틱 압출법으로 제조한 Y123-Ag 초전도 선재의 임계전류밀도($J_c$)는 원료분말의 특징에 따라 $150{\sim}230A/cm^2$값을 나타내었다. 은을 20 wt.% 첨가한 발화합성분말로 제조한 선재의 $J_c$는 $230A/cm^2$이었다.

서로 다른 크기의 SiC 원료분말을 첨가한 A1$_2$O$_3$-SiC 복합재료의 미세조직과 그에 따른 기계적 물성의 변화를 관찰하였다. 0.15 $mu extrm{m}$의 SiC가 첨가된 복합재료의 경우 기지상의 입성장이 효과적으로 억제되었다 그러나, 소수의 비정상입자가 생성된 이후에는 이들 입자의 급격한 성장으로 불규칙한 형상의 커다란 입자로 구성된 미세조직을 보이며, 파괴강도값은 급격히 감소하였다. 3 $\mu\textrm{m}$의 SiC가 첨가된 경우에는 기지상의 입성장이 일어났으나, 소수의 비정상입자가 생성된 이후에는 과도한 입성장은 억제되고 일정한 크기의 비정상입자가 시편 전체에 균일하게 형성된 미세조직을 보였다. 한편, 0.15 $\mu\textrm{m}$와 3 $\mu\textrm{m}$의 SiC 입자를 동시에 첨가한 시편은 균일한 크기의 비정상입성장의 미세조직을 보였으나, 비정상입성장이 일어났음에도 불구하고 기계적 물성은 우수하게 유지되었다 즉, 비정상입성장에 의해 미세조직에는 큰 변화가 일어났으나, 파괴강도값에는 변화가 없었다.
