SKD11 (ASTM D2) tool steel is a versatile high-carbon, high-chromium, air-hardening tool steel that is characterized by a relatively high attainable hardness and numerous, large, chromium rich alloy carbide in the microstructure. SKD11 tool steel provides an effective combination of wear resistance and toughness, tool performance, price, and a wide variety of product forms. Adding of CNTs increased the performance of mechanical properties more. 1, 3 vol% CNTs was dispersed in SKD11 matrix by mechanical alloying. SKD11 carbon nanocomposite powder was sintered by spark plasma sintering process. FE-SEM, HR-TEM and Raman analysis were carried out for the SKD11 carbon nanocomposites.

SKD11 tool steel provides an effective combination of wear resistance and toughness, tool performance, price, and a wide variety of product forms. The CNTs was good additives to improve the mechanical properties of metal. In this study, 1, 3 vol% CNTs was dispersed in SKD11 matrix by mechanical alloying. The SKD11+ CNT hybrid nanocomposites were investigated by FE-SEM, particle size distribution, hardness and wear resistance. The CNT was well dispersed in the SKD11 matrix and the mechanical properties of the composite were improved by CNTs addition. It shows good fea- sibility as cold work die tool.

Ni0.5-Zn0.4-X0.1·Fe2O4의 조성에서 X를 각각 Cu, Mg, Mn으로 치환시켜 치환원소에 따른 결정구조와 형상, 입도 및 자기적 성질을 비교 분석하여고, Network Analyzer을 이용하여 Ni0.5-Zn0.4-X0.1·Fe2O4-Rubber Composite의 재료정수 및 전파흡수특성에 대하여 비교 조사하였다. 치환원소에 관계없이 동일한 결정구조와 형상 및 입도를 나타냈고, VSM 분석결과 치환원소에 관계없이 동일한 자화값을 가지며, Mg로 치환된 경우 가장 큰 보자력과 자기이력손실을 나타냈다. 또한 Mn으로 치환된 경우 가장 높은 유전손실(εr"/εr')을, Cu로 치환된 경우에는 가장 큰 자기손실(μr"/μr')을 나타냈다. 4mm의 두께로 제조한 Compos-Composite에서는 Mg로 치환된 시료가 2GHz에서 -40dB이상의 가장 우수한 전파흡수특성을 나타내었다.
