Model experiment was introduced to obtain the formation of a core/rim structure by only liquid phase reaction in Ti(C, N)-based cermet alloys. Infiltrated Ti(C, N)-Ni, , and TaC-Ni cermets were bonded to sandwiched specimen by heat treatment for 5hr. With nitrogen addition, both (Ti, Mo) (C, N) and (Ti, Ta) (C, N) rim structure was nucleated around comer of cuboidal Ti(C, N) core. However, equilibrium shapes of(Ti, Mo) (C, N) and (Ti, Ta) (C, N) rim were different possibly due to the effect of interface energy. The core/rim and rim! binder interfaces were parallel to each other with TaC addition, while rotated to each other with addition.

Growth behavior of two different types of grains, faceted and rounded, in a liquid matrix has been studied in the (75WC-25TiCN)-30Co system. Powder samples were sintered above the eutectic temperature for various times under a carbon saturated condition. (Ti,W)(C,N) grains with a rounded shape and WC grains with a faceted shape coexisted in the same Co based liquid. With increasing sintering time, the average size of (Ti.W)(C,N) grains increased continuously and very large WC grains appeared. The growth of rounded (Ti,W)(C,N) grains followed a cubic law, =kt, where r is the average size of the grains, the initial average size, k the proportionality constant and t the sintering time. indicating a diffusion-controlled growth. On the other hand, the growth of the faceted WC grains resulted in a bimodal grain size distribution, showing an abnormal grain growth. These observations show that the growth behavior of different types of grains is governed by their shape, faceted or rounded, even in the same liquid matrix.

반응 가스 분압의 조절에 의한 HCD식 이온 도금 법으로 다양한 조성의 Ti(C, N) 경질 피막을 ASP30 공구강에 도금하였고 이 피막의 내마모성에 대한 조성의 영향을 경도, 밀착력 및 마모기구의 변화 등의 관점에서 고찰하였다. 경도는 질소나 탄소와 같은 비금속 성분량의 증가에 비례하지만 탄소함유량의 중가는 밀착력을 오히려 감소시켰다. 이 경향은 피막 밀도가 비교적 작은 정략적비 이하인 구간([C+N]/Ti<1)에서 보다 그 이상인 조성에서 영향이 뚜렷하였다. 따라서 피막의 내마모 특성은 높은 경도를 유지할 수 있는 ([C+N]/Ti>1)인 구역 내에서 밀착력 저하에 의한 adhesive 형태로의 마모 기구 변이를 억제할 수 있는 저 탄소 조성을 가질 때 최대로 된다.

In this study, an attempt was made to fabricate TiAl as well as its in situ composite via combustion synthesis. The processing variable of the combustion synthesis which include aluminum content and the heating rate were found to affect the combustion temperature. The combustion temperature measured, however, was lower than the melting temperature of TiAl and the reaction product were found to include incomplet reaction products. Carbon was added in order to increase the combustion temperature as well as to form in situ reinforcements. The reaction products showed homogeneous microstructures with carbide phases formed within indicating that the addition of carbon increased the combustion temperature above the melting temperature of TiAl.

레이저빔에 의한 철강재의 Ti 표면합금화에 미치는 C함량의 영향을 관찰하였다. 철강재상에 Ti 코팅 후 레이저빔 조사시 질소를 취입가스로 사용하면 부분적으로 TiN과 Fe2Ti가 형성된다. 저탄소강의 경우 Ti함량의 증가에 따라 임계냉각 속도의 증가로 마르텐사이트화가 억제된다. 고탄소강의 경우 Ti의 함량이 1.5%정도 임에도 훼라이트 조직이 형성되지 않고 마르텐사이트 조직이 형성되어 경화된다. 그리고 고탄소강의 Ti 표면합금층 형성에 부분적인 TiC의 석출이 있어 더욱 경도를 증가시키는 것으로 생각된다.
