Fecralloy is the promising materials for high temperature exhaust filtering system due to the excellent its oxidation resistance property. In this research, Fecralloy nanoparticles coated Fecralloy thin foil was prepared by a single nozzle electrospray system in order to increase surface area of Fecralloy foil. Fecralloy nanoparticles were fabricated by electrical wire explosion method in ethanol using Fecralloy wires as a source material. Electrospray modes with applied D.C voltages to Fecralloy colloidal solution were investigated to make a stable cone-jet mode. Coated layers with and without additional heat treatment were observed by FE-SEM (field emission-scanning electron microscope) and tape test for evaluating their adhesion to substrate were performed as well.

The densification behavior of Al-20Si-5.5Fe-1.2Mg-0.5Mn powders was investigated through micro-structure analysis of sintered specimens. The specimens sintered in vacuum or in high purity (99.999%) nitrogen showed porous near-surface microstructures. The densification of near-surface part was enhanced by means of ultra-high purity (99.9999%) nitrogen atmosphere. The relationship between slow densification and oxide surfaces of Al alloy powders was discussed. And the effects of Mg addition, nitrogen gas, and humidity on densification were discussed. In addition, the rapid growth of primary Si crystals above the critical temperature was reported.

알루미늄 분말야금부품은 철계 분말부품에 비해 가볍고 알루미늄 주조부품에 비해 우수한 기계적 물성을 갖는다. 단, 상대적으로 비싼 가격이 이 부품의 응용을 제약하는 장벽이었으나 최근의 환경과 에너지 문제에 대한 세계적인 관심은 이를 극복할 수 있는 계기를 제공하고 있다. 선진국은 이미 일본을 중심으로 1990년대부터 알루미늄 분말부품에 대한 기술개발을 진행하였고 현재는 다양한 상용 부품을 판매하고 있으며 조만간 그 판매량이 크게 증가할 것으로 예상된다.

In the present study of IGC (Inert Gas Condensation) evaporation-condensation processing study, the effects of IGC convection gas on the crystallographic structure, size and shape of tin oxide nanoparticles were investigated. In addition, the phase transformation of tin oxide nanoparticles was studied after heat treatment. IGC processing was conducted at 1000℃ for 1 hr. The mixture gas of oxygen and helium was used as a convection gas. Metastable tetragonal SnO nanoparticles were obtained at a lower convection gas pressure, whereas amorphous tin oxide nanoparticles were obtained at a higher one. The formation of amorphous phase could be explained by the rapid quenching of the vaporized atoms. The resultant nanoparticles size was about 10 nm with a rounded shape. The tin oxide nanoparticles prepared by IGC were almost transformed to the stable tetragonal SnO₂ after heat treatment.

본 연구에서는 고온용 고강도 Al 합금을 제조하기 위해 Al-Cr-Zr 복합금속분말을 attritor에서 300rpm의 회전속도로 20시간 동안 기계적 합금화방법으로 제조한 후 진공 고온 압축성형하였다. Al-Cr-Zr 합금의 미세구조 및 조직관찰은 XRD, TEM 등을 사용하여 분석하였고, 열적 안정성은 열적 노출시간에 따른 미소경도측정을 통하여 조사하였다. 진공 열간 압축성형 되었을 때 MA Al-Cr-Zr 합금의 이론 밀도의 97%에 이르는 조밀화르 f보였으며, 300˚C에서 100시간 열처리 한 경우에는 경도변화가 거의 없었고, 500˚C에서 100시간 열처리한 경우에도 감소가 6% 이내로 우수한 열적 안정성을 나타내었다. 이와 같은 MA Al-Cr-Zr 합금의 우수한 열적 안정성은 기계적 합금화에 의해 Al 기지 내에 미세하고 균일하게 분산된 Cr과 Zr이 고온 성형과 열처리 과정에 의해 Al3Zr, Al13Cr2의 금속간 화합물들의 형성되었으며, 열처리 후의 이 합금의 최종 결정립 크기는 150mm 크기 이하이었다.

Al-Cr-Zr nanocomposite metal powders were prepared by mechnical alloying (MA) in order to develop aircraft structure materials with lighter weight and lower cost than the conventional Ti and Ni alloys. The morphological changes and microstrutural evolution of Al-6wt.%Cr-3wt.%Zr nanocomposite metal powders during MA were investigated by SEM, XRD and TEM. The approximately 50m sized Al-Cr-Zr nanocomposite metal powders has been formed after 20 h of MA. The individual X-ray diffraction peaks of Al, Cr and Zr were broadened and peak intensitied were decreased as a function of MA time. The observed Al crystallite size by TEM was in the range of 20 nm, which is a simliar value calculated by Scherrer equation. The microhardness of Al-Cr-Zr nanocomposite metal powders increases alomost linearly with increase of the processing time, reaching a saturation hardness value of 127 kg/ after 20 h of processing. The intermetallic compound phase of in the matrix was identifed by XRD and TEM.
