Nanostructured(NS) W-Cu composite powders of about 20~30 nm grain size were synthesized by mechanical alloying. The properties of NS W-Cu powder and its sintering behavior were investigated. It was shown from X-ray diffraction and TEM analysis that the supersaturated solid solution of Cu in W was not formed by the mechanical alloying of mixed elemental powders, but the mixture of W and Cu particles with nanosize grains, i.e., the nanocomposite powder was attained. Nanocomposite W-20wt%Cu and W-30wt%Cu powders milled for 100 h were sintered to the relative density more than 96% and 98%, respectively, by sintering at 110 for 1 h in . Such a high sinterability was attributed to the high homogeneous mixing and ultra-fine structure of W and Cu phases as well as activated sintering effect by impurity metal introduced during milling.

composite powders were prepared by hydrogen reduction of from ammoniacal copper sulfate solution on alumina core using autoclave. The copper reduction rate and the properties of copper layer were investigated using Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM), X-ray diffractometer, size and chemical analyzers. The reduction rate of showed the maximum value when the molar ratio of []/[] was 2. In order to prevent the agglomeration of Cu powder and ethane reduction rate, and anthraquinone which act as catalysis were added in the solution. Catalysis was effectively chanced with the addition of two elemerts at a time. Optimum conditions obtained in this study were hydrogen reduction temperature of 205, stirring speed of 500 rpm and hydrogen partial pressure of 300 psi. Obtained composite Powders were found to have the uniform and continuous copper coating layer of nodule shape with 3~5 m thickness.

In this study the changes of the hardness and microstructures during aging at 120 of an RS-P/M Al-5.6wt%Zn-2.0wt%Mg-1.3wt%Zr-1.0wt%Mn-0.25wt%Cu alloy were studied using a transmission electron microscopy. The hardness increased rapidly at early stage of aging and reached the maximun when the specimen was aged for 24 hr. The many irregular-shaped and rod-shaped dispersoids with 0.1-0.4 m in length were observed in the as-extruded alloy. The dark particles with 2-3 nm in size were observed in aged specimen for 5hr and those are thought to be G.P.zones or precursor of precipitates. In aged specimen for 24 hr, the phases were distributed homogeneously within the matrix and the PFZ with 30-40 nm in width was observed along the grain boundary. With further aging, the width of PFZ increased and phases were also detected within the matrix.

석탄계 핏치의 열처리 온도 및 압력에 따른 결정화도와 기공도 그리고 산화저항성 등을 관찰하였으며, hexagonal type 4D 탄소/탄소 복합재를 석탄계 핏치로 가압함침 및 탄화시킨 다음 가해준 압력이 고밀도화에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 석탄계 핏치의 가압탄화 압력이 흑연화도에 크게 영향을 미치지 않았으며, 기공면적비에 있어서는 압력을 600bar로 상승시켜 줌으로써 상압 처리한 경우 보다 1.5배 정도 감소 하였다. 650˚C까지 열처리하여 얻은 코우크스의 산화반응 개시온도는 처리압력이 증가함에 따라서 지연되었다. 탄소/탄소 복합재의 함침압력을 100bar에서 600bar로 상승시켜 줄 경우 밀도 증가율이 크게 향상 되었으며 기공도는 감소하였다.
