This study investigated the microstructure and wear properties of extruded hyper-eutectic Al-Si (15wt.%) alloy in an engine oil environment. The wear mechanism of the material was also analyzed and compared to conventional gray cast iron. In microstructural observation results of Al-15wt.%Si alloy, primary Si phase ($45.3{\mu}m$) and eutectic Si phase ($3.1{\mu}m$) were found in the matrix, and the precipitations of $Mg_2Si({\beta}^{\prime})$, $Al_2Cu({\theta}^{\prime})$ and $Al_6(Mn,Fe)$ were also detected. In the case of gray cast iron, ferrite and pearlite were observed. It was also observed that flake graphite ($20-130{\mu}m$) were randomly distributed. Wear rates were lower in the Al-Si alloy as compared to those of gray cast iron in all load conditions, confirming the outstanding wear resistance of Al-15wt.%Si alloy in engine oil environment. In the $4kg_f$ condition, the wear rate of gray cast iron was $6.0{\times}10^{-5}$ and that of Al-Si measured $0.8{\times}10^{-5}$. The microstructures after wear of the two materials were analyzed using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). The primary Si and eutectic Si of Al-Si alloy effectively mitigated the abrasive wear, and the Al matrix effectively endured to accept a significant amount of plastic deformation caused by wear.

Hydrogen forms metal hydrides with some metals and alloys leading to solid-state storage under moderate temperature and pressure that gives them the safety advantage over the gas and liquid storage methods. However, it has disadvantages of slow hydrogen adsorption-desorption time and low thermal conductivity. To improve characteristics of metal hydrides, it is important that activation and thermal conductivity of metal hydrides are improved. In this study, we have been investigated hydrogen storage properties of Hydralloy C among Ti-Mn alloys. Also, the characteristics of activation and thermal conductivity of Hydralloy C were enhanced to improve kinetics of hydrogen adsorption-desorption. As physical activation method, PHEM (planetary high energy mill) was performed in Ar or $H_2$ atmosphere. Hydralloy C was also activated by $TiCl_3$ catalyst. To improve thermal conductivity, various types of ENG (expanded natural graphite) were used. The prepared samples were compacted at pressure of 500 bar. As a result, the activation properties of $H_2$ PHEM treated Hydralloy C was better than the other activation methods. Also, the amounts of hydrogen storage showed up to 1.6 wt%. When flake type ENG was added to Hydralloy C, thermal conductivity and hydrogen storage properties were improved.

본 연구에서는 제철소에서 발생하는 전로 dust를 사용하여 심강법(분급)에 의한 철산화물을 분리하여 고순도의 철분말을 회수하였으며, 아래와 같은 결론을 얻었다. 가. 전로 dust의 물성 1) 재항의 1제강, 2제강 C/F(Clarifier) dust, 광장의 E/C(Evaporation coolar), dust, 중국강철공사(C.S.C) OM(Clarifier underflow) dust 금철분이 63~72%로 높고, Metal Fe 가 21~50% 함유되어 있으며, 기타 산화물로는 CaO, MgO, Al$_{2}O_{3}$, SiO$_{2}$ 등이 있다. 2) 재항의 1제강, 2제강 C/F dust, 광양의 E/C, E/P dust, 중국강철공사(C.S.C), OM(clarifier underflow) dust 입자의 형상은 청입이 주로 구형으로 응고된 모양이었으며, 일반적으로는 출립의 외각부는 magnetite, hematite 등으로 산화가 진해되어 있다. 3) 전로 dust 들에 대한 X-ray 회절분석결과, 재항의 1제강, 2제강, C/F dust, 광양의 E/C, E/P dust는 ${\alpha}$-Fe, FeO(wusute)가 중성분으로 존재하며 그 밖에 FE$_{3}O_{4}$9magnetite), Fe$_{2}O_{3}$ CaO가 소량으로 존재하고 있었으며, 중국강철공사(C.S.D) OM(underflow) dust는 ${\alpha}$-Fe, ${\alpha}Fe_{2}O_{3}$, graphite가 주성분으로 존재하며, 그 밖에 $Fe_{3}O_{4}$, Fe$_{2}O_{3}$, ZnO이 소량으로 존재하고 있었다. 4) 순수한 순철분말과 전로 dust를 구성하고 있는 순철은 마광에 따른 입자의 분쇄보다는 마광시 구형의 입자가 소성변형으로 인해 flake형상으로 변하여 체질입도분석시 입도의 증가를 초래하였으며, 반면 철산화물은 마광에 따른 입자의 미세화가 발생함을 볼 수 있었다. 나. 철분구 외수 실험 1) 광양의 dust를 40분간 마광하여 심강(분급)실험을 행했을 때 Fe 99.17% 품위 철분말을 37.8% 회수할 수 있었다. 2) 재항의 C/F dust를 40분간 마광하여 심강(분급)실험을 행했을 때 Fe 98.38% 품위의 철분말을 44.42% 회수할 수 있었다. 3) 70 gauss 자석을 사용하여 자력선별을 행했을 때 +65-200 mesh 사이에서 Fe 품위 98% 이상의 철분말을 회수 할 수 있으나 회수율(14%)이 낮다.
