This study investigated the densification behavior of rhenium alloys including W-25 wt.%Re and Re-2W-1Ta (pure Re) during sintering. The dilatometry experiments were carried out to obtain the in-situ shrinkage in H2 atmo-sphere. The measured data was analyzed through shrinkage, strain rate and relative density, and then symmetricallytreated to construct the linearized form of master sintering curve (MSC) and MSC as a well-known and straightforwardapproach to describe the densification behavior during sintering. The densification behaviors for each material were ana-lyzed in many respects including apparent activation energy, densification parameter, and densification ratio. MSC witha minimal set of preliminary experiments can make the densification behavior to be characterized and predicted as wellas provide guideline to sinter cycle design. Considering the results of linearized form and MSC, it was confirmed thatthe W-25 wt.%Re compared to Pure Re is more easily densified at the relatively low temperature.

아스팔트 콘크리트의 동탄성계수는 아스팔트 포장 해석 및 설계에 매우 중요하다. 동탄성계수의 메스터 곡선은 일반적으로 시그모이달 함수로 표현된다. Ramberg-Osgood 모델은 지반동역학분야에서 변형률 크기에 따른 정규화 탄성계수 감소 곡선에 대한 피팅모델로 널리 사용되고 있다. 동일한 동탄성계수 시험자료에 대하여 시그모이달 함수와 수정 Rambeyg-osgood 모델 모두를 사용하여 메스터 곡선을 획득하였으며, 두 피팅모델 모두 적용성이 우수함을 확인하였다. 시그모이달 함수의 계수들은 서로 연관되어 있어서 메스터 곡선의 절대값과 형상 특성을 서로 분리하는 것이 불가능하다. 그러나 Ramberg-Osgood 모델의 계수는 물리적 의미가 명확할 뿐 아니라 서로 분리되어 있어서 메스터 곡선에 대한 영향요소를 서로 분리하여 평가할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The master sintering curve (MSC) is derived from densification data over a range of heating rates and temperatures. To improve the accuracy, several modifications were proposed: multi-phase MSC for solid state sintering with phase changes, MSC for liquid phase sintering, and MSC with consideration of grain growth. The developed MSC models were applied to several material systems such as molybdenum, stainless steels, and tungsten heavy alloys (WHA), in order to evaluate the effect of compaction pressure, phase change, grain growth, and composition on densification, to classify regions having different sintering mechanism, and to help engineer design, optimize, and monitor sintering cycles.
