In the present study, Zr-base metallic glass(MG)/diamond composites are fabricated using a combination of gas-atomization and spark plasma sintering (SPS). The densification behaviors of mixtures of soft MG and hard diamond powders during consolidation process are investigated. The influence of mixture characteristics on the densification is discussed and several mechanism explaining the influence of diamond particles on consolidation behaviour are proposed. The experimental results show that consolidation is enhanced with increasing diamond/Metallic Glass(MG) size ratio, while the diamond fraction is fixed.

This paper present results from effect of fiber volume fraction on direct shear property of steel fiber reinforced concrete(SFRC). Steel fiber with crimped end was used this work. Principal variable is fiber volume fraction; 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2%, and aggregate size; 8, 13, 20mm. Specimen cross-sectional is 100 x 100 x 400mm. In order to induce the shear failure 2mm notch was sawed all around the specimen. Test result, there are little different between the aggregate size, and the improvements in shear strength of SFRC were more significant for 1% steel fiber volume fraction.

Authers Investigated the particulate size distribution in work environment of Banwol and Changwon industry complex. Size distributions of particles exposured to workers in welding and in grounding process were evaluated by personal cascade impactors. Personal air samplers with personal cascade impactor were attached to the workers. The mass median diameter measured in welding sites were 0.3 to 3.8μm and in grinding sites were 1.5 to 2.6μm. Respirable matter fractions were ranged 32.67 to 65.05%. Respirable matter fractions were calculated from the size distribution data by the respirable particle mass of the ACGIH criteria. The study relating to characteristics of particle of other industries and particulate size distribution is more needed in the near future.
