국내 보리 소비가 급격히 감소하면서 재배 면적도 줄어들어 겨울철 논을 이용한 보리 재배 농가의 대체 소득원이 보리를 활용한 조사료 생산이다. 경지이용률 제고와 양질의 조사료 공급은 국내 축산 농가의 국제경쟁력을 올릴 수 있어 최근 청보리의 생산은 현저히 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 총체사료용 청보리는 식용보리에 비하여 전체적인 건물수량성이 높아야 하고 가축이 먹기에 좋도록 형태적으로도 개선되어야 한다. 그 동안 개발된 총체사료용 청보리는 벼와의 작부체계에

In the present study, Zr-base metallic glass (MG) and Zr-base BMG/diamond composites were fabricated using a combination of gas atomization and spark plasma sintering (SPS). The microstructure, thermal stability and mechanical property of both the specimens as atomized and sintered were investigated. The experimental results showed that the SPSed specimens could be densified into nearly 100% and maintained the initial thermal stability at the sintering temperature of 630K. In addition, MG/diamond powder composites were successfully synthesised using SPS process. The composites, even a very low diamond volume fraction, generated a significant increase in compressive strength. With increasing the diamond volume fraction, the compressive strength was also increased due to the addition of hardest diamonds. It suggests that these composites would be potential candidates for a new cutting tool material.

In a view point of environment, the advanced electric contact material without environmental load element such as cadmium has to be developed. Extensive studies have been carried out on electric contact material as a substitute of Ag-CdO contact materials. In the present study, powder metallurgy including compaction and sintering is introduced to solve the incomplete oxidation problems in manufacturing process of electrical contact material. The contact material, fabricated in this study, was actually set in an electric switchgear of which working voltage is 462V and current is between 25 and 40A, for the purpose of testing its performance. As a result, it exceeded the existing Ag-CdO contact materials in terminal-temperature ascent and main contact resistance

This work is to report not only the effect of rapid solidification of alloys on the micro-structure, but also the extrusion behavior on the materials properties. The average grain size of the atomized powders was about . The alloy powders of , consisted of I-Phase (Icosahedral, ) as well as Cubic structured W-Phase (), which was finely distributed within matrix. The oxide layer formed along the Mg surface was about 48 nm in thickness. In order to study the consolidation behavior of Mg alloy powders, extrusion was carried out with the area reduction ratio of 10:1 to 20:1. As the ratio increased, fully deformed and homogeneous microstructure could be obtained, and the mechanical properties such as tensile strength and elongation were simultaneously increased.

Bulk metallic glass (BMG) composite was fabricated by consolidation of milled metallic glass composite powders. The metallic glass composite powder was synthesized by a controlled milling process using the Cu-based metallic glass powder blended with 30 vol% Zr-based metallic glass powders. The milled composite powders showed a layered structure with three metallic phases, which is formed as a result of mechanical milling. By spark plasma sintering of milled metallic glass powders in the supercooled liquid region, a fully dense BMG composite was successfully synthesized.
