Nanocrystalline materials have received much attention as advanced engineering materials with improved physical and mechanical properties, including high strength, high hardness, excellent ductility and toughness. In this study, nanopowders of Al2O3, MgO and TiO2 were prepared as starting materials by high energy ball milling for the simultaneous synthesis and sintering of the nanostructured compound Mg4Al2Ti9O25 by high-frequency induction heating process. The highly dense nanostructured Mg4Al2Ti9O25 compound was produced within one minute by the simultaneous application of 80MPa pressure and induced current. The sintering behavior, grain size and mechanical properties of the Mg4Al2Ti9O25 compound were evaluated.

새로운 급속소결방법인 고주파유도가열 소결법과 펄스전류활성 소결법을 이용하여 습식 볼밀링으로 혼합한 WC-8wt.%Co분말에 60MPa의 압력과 90%의 고주파출력 또는 2800A의 필스전류를 가하여 상대밀도가 98.6% 이상인 초경재료를 2분이내의 짧은 시간에 제조하였다. 초기의 WC분말의 입도가 미세해짐에 따라 고주파유도가열 소결법과 펄스전류활성 소결법 모두 소결시간이 단축되는 경향을 보였으며 그 소결체의 결정립 크기도 감소하였다. 고주파유도가열 소결

It is well known that the Cu-Cr alloys are very difficult to be made by conventional sintering methods. This difficulty originates both from limited solubility of Cr in the Cu matrix and from limited sintering temperature due to high vapor pressures of Cr and Cu components at the high temperature. Densification of Cu-50%Cr Powder compacts by conventional Powder metallurgy Process has been studied. Three kinds of sintering methods were tested in order to obtain high-density sintered compacts. Completely densified Cu-Cr compacts could be obtained neither by solid state sintering method nor by liquid phase sintering method. Both low degree of shrinkage and evolution of large pores in the Cu matrix during the solid state sintering are attributed to the anchoring effect of large Cr particles, which inhibits homogeneous densification of Cu matrix and induces pore generation in the Cu matrix. In addition, the effect of undiffusible gas coming from the reduction of Cu-oxide and Cr-oxide was observed during liquid phase sintering. A two-step sintering method, solid state sintering followed by liquid phase sintering, was proved to have beneficial effect on the fabrication of high-dendsity Cu-Cr sintered compacts. The sintered compacts have properties similar to those of commercial products.
