제철소에서 용강을 제조할 때에 사용되는 전로(Converter)나 레이들(Ladle) 등의 노체용 내장 내화물로 마그네시아-카본벽돌이 많이 사용되고 있다. 그러나 이렇게 사용되고 있는 마그네시아-카본 벽돌의 경우 교체 이후 전량폐기되고 있다. 이렇게 폐기되는 폐 마그네시아-카본 벽돌을 분쇄하여 활성화재를 이용한 연약지반 및 오염지반의 고화재로 사용함으로써 연약지반 및 오염지반의 고형화를 통하여 연약지반의 강성증가와 함께 오염지반에서 발생하는 중금속 및 기타 유해물질의 용출에 대한 안정화에 영향을 미칠 것으로 판단된다. 본 논문에서는 폐 마그네시아-카본을 이용한 연약지반의 강도 증가에 대한 내용에 대하여 나타내었다.

The effects of Cu and Fe additions on the thermal stability, microstructure and mechanical properties of $Al_{85}-Ni_{8.5}-Mm_{6.5},\;Al_{84}-Ni_{8.5}-Mm_{6.5}Cu_1,\;Al_{84}-Ni_{8.5}-M_{m6.5}Fe_1$ alloys, manufactured by gas atomization, degassing and hot-extrusion were investigated. Gas atomization, with a wide super-cooled liquid region, allowed the alloy powders to exhibit varying microstructure depending primarily on the powder size and composition. Al hotextruded alloys consisted of homogeneously-distributed fine-grained fcc-Al matrix and intermetallic compounds. A substitution of 1 at.% Al by Cu increased the thermal stability of the amorphous phase and produced alloy microstructure with smaller fcc-Al grains. On the other hand, the same substitution of 1 at.% Al by Fe decreased the stability of the amorphous phase and produced larger fcc-Al grains. The formation of intermetallic compounds such as $Al_3Ni,\;Al_{11}Ce_3\;and\;Al_{11}La_3$ was suppressed by the addition of Cu or Fe. Among the three alloys examined, the highest Vickers hardness and compressive strength were obtained for $Al_{84}-Ni_{8.5}-M_{m6.5}Cu_1$ alloy, and related to the finest fcc-Al grain size attained from increased thermal stability with Cu addition.

SiC particulate reinforced magnesium matrix composites were fabricated by melt stirring method. The effet of several factors on mechanical properties and the efficiency of melt stirring method from the viewpoint of these properties were investigated. The tensile strength increased and the elongation decreased with decrease of the particle size or the increase of the paticulate volume fraction for pure magnesium matrix and Mg-5%Zn alloy matrix composites. A longer stirring time improved the tensile strength of these composites. The tensile strength of Mg-5%Ca alloy matrix composites which shows no uniform paticulate distribution was a little lower than that of matrix alloy. Rapid solidification rate is preferred for the improved tensile strength of these composites. The pure magnesium matrix and Mg-5%Zn alloy matrix composites have tensile strength of about 400MPa. This value agrees with the tensile strength of some magnesium matrix composites fabricated by liquid infiltration method or powder metallurgy method at the same volume fraction of reinforcements of whisker or particle. Therefore, the melt stirring method which has the advantages of simple process is considered to be efficient in fabricating magnesium matrix composites.

Hypereutectic Al-Si alloys have been regarded attractive for automotive and aerospace application, due to high specific strength, good wear resistance, high thermal stability, low thermal expansion coefficient and good creep resistance. Spray casting of hypereutectic Al-Si alloy has been reported to provide distinct advantages over ingot metallurgy (IM) or rapid solidification/powder metallurgy (RS/PM) process in terms of microstructure refinement. In this study, hypereutectic Al-25Si-2.0Cu-1.0Mg alloy was prepared by OSPREY spray casting process. The change of strain rate sensitivity and Creep transition were analyzed by using the load relaxation test and constant creep test. High temperature deformation behavior of the hypereutectic Al-Si alloy has been investigated by applying the internal variable theory proposed by Chang et al. Especially, the creep resistance of spray casted hypereutectic Al-Si alloy can be enhanced considerably by the accumulation of prestrain.

Selective laser melting (SLM), a type of additive manufacturing (AM) technology, leads a global manufacturing trend by enabling the design of geometrically complex products with topology optimization for optimized performance. Using this method, three-dimensional (3D) computer-aided design (CAD) data components can be built up directly in a layer-by-layer fashion using a high-energy laser beam for the selective melting and rapid solidification of thin layers of metallic powders. Although there are considerable expectations that this novel process will overcome many traditional manufacturing process limits, some issues still exist in applying the SLM process to diverse metallic materials, particularly regarding the formation of porosity. This is a major processing-induced phenomenon, and frequently observed in almost all SLM-processed metallic components. In this study, we investigate the mechanical anisotropy of SLM-produced 316L stainless steel based on microstructural factors and highly-oriented porosity. Tensile tests are performed to investigate the microstructure and porosity effects on mechanical anisotropy in terms of both strength and ductility.

본 실험에서는 리튬이차전지의 고용량 음극활물질로 주목받는 Si 합금의 부피팽창을 억제하기 위한 방법의 하나인 비활성-matrix상을 이용하고, 상태도를 이용하여 동일한 용량을 발현하는 Si계 이원계 합금 (Cr-Si, Ni-Si) 조성에서의 미세구조 및 전기화학적 특성을 비교/분석하였다. 급속응고공정(Rapid Solidification Process, Melt-spinning법)를 이용하여 동일조건하에서 리본 모양의 합금을 제작하였고, 제작된 리본합금은 동일조건에서 분쇄하여 X-선회절 (X-Ray Diffraction) 분석을 실시하였다. XRD 분석 결과, 상태도에서 예측된 것과 같이, 두 합금 모두 Si 상 및 비활성-matrix상($CrSi_2$ 및 $NiSi_2$)이 관찰되었으며, 이외의 제3의 상은 관찰되지 않았다. 또한, 주사전자현미경(SEM, Scanning Electron Microscope) 및 투과전자현미경-에너지분산분광법(TEM-EDS, Transmission Electron Microscopy - Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy)으로 미세구조를 살펴본 결과 Cr-Si 합금의 미세구조가 Ni-Si 합금보다 fine한 것을 알 수 있었고 이것은 상태도로부터 예측 가능하였다. 두 합금 조성에서 미세구조에 따른 전기화학적 특성을 비교 평가하기 위해 코인형 하프셀과 풀셀로 충방전 실험을 진행하였고 이와 별도로, 전극의 두께변화 측정이 가능하게 설계된 시험셀을 이용하여 반응 중 Si의 수축팽창을 측정하였다. coarse한 미세구조를 가진 Ni-Si 합금보다 fine한 미세구조를 갖는 Cr-Si 합금의 전극팽창이 비교적 잘 억제됨을 확인하였고, 충방전에 따른 수명 내구성도 우수함을 확인하였다. 이런 결과들로부터 합금의 조성에 따른 미세구조, 체적변화 및 전기화학적 열화와의 연관성을 유추할 수 있었다.

The surface of AC8A Ah alloy was modified by adding the Cu powder using a Plasma Transferred Arc (PTA) welding process. Under the optimum fabricating conditions, the modified surface of AC8A Ah alloy was observed to possess the sound microstructure with a minimum porosity. Hardness and wear resistance properties of the as-fabricated alloy were compared with those of the 76 heat-treated one. In case of the as-fabricated alloy, the hardness of the modified layer was twice that of the matrix region. Although significant increase in the hardness of the matrix region was observed after T6 heat treatment, the hardness of the modified layer was not observed to change. The wear resistance of the modified layer was significantly increased compared to that of the matrix region. The microstructure of a weld zone and the matrix region were investigated using the optical microscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM), electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The primary and eutectic silicon in the weld zone were finer and more curved than in the matrix region, while some precipitates has had been found therein. According to the TEM observation, the predominant precipitate present in the weld zone was the $\theta$'phase, which is precipitated during cooling by rapid solidification in PTA welding process. Improvement of hardness and wear properties in the weld zone in the as-fabricated condition can be explained based on the presence of $\theta$’precipitates and fine primary and eutectic silicon distribution.
