We have studied the effect of C/Ti atomic ratio of TiCx (x=0.5, 0.75 and 1.0) raw powder on the properties of the Ti-Mo-WTiC sintered hard alloy. The decrease of C/Ti atomic ratio accelerated the densification in the sintering process. The hardness was remarkably improved up to 1350HV with decreasing the C/Ti atomic ratio because of increase of TiCx phase volume content and its fine dispersion. From the results of electro-chemical tests in acid and 3% NaCl solutions, it was obvious that every alloy had excellent corrosion resistance, which meant about 200 times better than that of WC-Co cemented carbide.

The low-cycle fatigue performance and fracture of the P/M Ti-Fe-Mo-Al-Nd Alloys after sintering and forging have been studied. The linear regression equation of low-cycle fatigue lifetime has been obtained; the fatigue performances are objected under two different conditions. The fatigue fracture surface is analyzed by SEM. The low-cycle fatigue behavior of the P/M titanium alloy has been discussed.

The spherical and high quality Titanium fine powder "Tilop" has been produced with gas atomization furnace, Sumitomo Titanium Corporation originally designed. Recently, a new process which can produce Ti-alloy(Ti-6Al-4V) powders by utilizing our gas atomization process, of which raw material is sponge titanium pre-mixed with alloy chips or granules has been also developed. The particle size of gas atomized Ti-alloy powder and the mechanical properties of sintered Ti-alloy compacts prepared by metal injection molding were discussed in this study.

급냉응고방식으로 제조한 비정질 Z r62-xN i10C u20A l8 Tix (x=3, 6, 9at%) 합금을 사용하여 열적, 기계적 성질을 조사하였다. 시효온도에 따른 결정화 거동은 Ti 3at%에서는 비정질→비정질+Z r2A l3+Zr+(Ni,Ti)→Z r2Cu+Al+(Ni,Ti)의 결정화 거동을 나타내었으며, Ti 6at%에서는 비정질→비정질+Al→A l2Ti+NiZr+CuTi, Ti 9at%에서는 비정질→비정질+Zr+Al→Zr+A l2Zr+Al Ti3+CuTi의 결정화 거동을 보였다. 시효온도가 증가할수록 비정질 모상에 석출상의 체적율( Vf )이 증가하고 그에 따라 비커스 경도 ( Hv )간이 증가하였다. 파괴인장강도(σf )는 Vf 의 증가에 따라 증가하다가 Z r59A l10N i20C u8 Ti3은 Vf =38%에서 1219MPa의 최대값을 보이고, Z r56A l10N i20C u8 Ti6은 Vf =2%에서 1203MPa의 최대값을 보이고, Z r53A l10N i20C u8 Ti9 Vf =5%에서 1350MPa의 최대값을 나타낸 후 그 이상의 Vf 에서는 급격히 감소하였다. σf 가 급격히 감소하는 Vf 와 연성 파면에서 취성파면으로 천이되는 Vf 가 일치하였다.f/가 일치하였다.

Ti-50Ni(at%) and Ti-40Ni-10Cu(at%) alloy powders have been fabricated by ball milling method, and their microstructure and phase transformation behavior were investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectrometry, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffractions and transmission electron microscopy. In order to investigate the effect of ball milling conditions on transformation behavior, ball milling speed and time were varied. Ti-50Ni alloy powders fabricated with the milling speed more than 250 rpm were amorphous, while those done with the milling speed of 100rpm were crystalline. In contrast to Ti-50Ni alloy powders, Ti-40Ni-10Cu alloy powders were crystalline, irrespective of ball milling conditions. DSC peaks corresponding to martensitic transformation were almost discernable in alloy powders fabricated with the milling speed more than 250 rpm, while those were seen clearly in alloy powders fabricated with the milling speed of 100 rpm. This was attributed to the fact that a strain energy introduced during ball milling suppressed martensitic transformation.
