The present study demonstrates the effect of solidification condition on the pore structure in freeze drying process using the slurries of CuOlimable vehicles. Camphene and Camphor-45 wt% naphthalene based slurries with 14 vol% CuO powder were frozen into a mold at -25℃<, followed by sublimation at room temperature. The green bodies were hydrogen-reduced and sintered at 500℃ for 1 h. The porous Cu specimen, frozen the CuO/camphene slurry into the heated mold of the upper part, showed large pores with unidirectional pore channels and small pores in their internal wall. Also, it was observed that the size of large pores was decreasing near the bottom part of specimen. The change of pore structure depending on the freezing condition was explained by the nucleation behavior of camphene crystals and rearrangement of solid powders during solidification. In case of porous Cu prepared from CuO/Camphor-naphthalene system, the pore structure exhibited plate shape as a replica of the original structure of crystallized vehicles with hypereutectic composition.

일방향 응고한 AI-CuAI2공정 복합재료의 미세조직에 미치는 응고조건과 진동의 영향에 대해서 조사하였다. 진동하에서 성장속도(R) 변화에 따라 일방향응고 시켰을때 열구배(G)는 32˚C/cm와 35˚C/cm를 유지했다. 공정조직은 성장조건(G/R)에 따라 변화되었다. 조직미세화는 진동의 영향도 컸지만 G/R의 영향이 더 크다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 층상 간격은 λ2 =상수 라는 관계에 따라 성장속도와 더불어 변화 되었다.
