분무성형공정은 급냉응고 및 결정입자 제어에 따른 고품위 소재 개발의 장점과 함께 고밀도 near-net-shape 제품의 제조가 가능한 합금제조기술이다 분무성형체의 미세조직은 적층표면에 도달하는 액적들의 평균 열용량, 즉 고상분율에 의하여 결정되며, 이는 액적의 비행과정에서의 분사가스-액적간의 열전달과 적층표면에서의 열유입과 열유출 속도에 영향을 받는다. 실제 다양한 공정변수들이 복합적으로 미세조직 형성과정에 영향을 미치지만, 균일한 미세조직을 얻기 위하여서는 적층표면에서의 온도와 고상분율을 항상 일정하게 제어하여야만 한다 즉, 적층표면 온도를 분무 성형공정중에 지속적으로 측정하여 이를 공정 제어 시스템에 feedback하여 원하는 적층표면온도를 유지하도록 공정변수를 제어하는 것이 필수적이다. 분무성형에 제조된 성형체는 합금원소의 편석이 없고 미세한 등방성의 결정립으로 이루어진 특징적인 미세조직을 나타낸다 이와 같은 미세조직으로 인하여 분무성형체는 우수한 성형성과 기계가공성을 나타내며, 또한 분무성형-후속가공된 최종 제품은 잉곳주조에 의하여 제조된 것과 비교하여 크게 향상된 기계적 성질을 가진다.

본 논문은 레오캐스팅용 AZ91 합금 슬러리를 제조하는 새로운 방법에 관한 것이다. 그 원리는 AZ91 합금 액상에서 Mn의 용해도차에 의해 생성되는 $Al_8(Mn,Fe)_5$ 정출물을 ${\alpha}-Mg$ 초정 생성을 위한 불균일 핵생성 자리로 사용하고자 하는 것이다. 제조된 슬러리의 미세조직 분석결과 $Al_8(Mn,Fe)_5$ 정출물이 ${\alpha}-Mg$ 내에 위치하고 있어, 이로부터 정출물이 효과적으로 불균일 핵생성 자리로 작용하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 Mn 함량의 증가는 $Al_8(Mn,Fe)_5$ 정출물 수를 증가시켜 고상분율이 일정할 때 슬러리 내 ${\alpha}-Mg$ 고상의 크기를 감소시키고 구형도를 향상시킨다. 이외에도 냉각속도 및 유지시간이 슬러리 미세조직에 미치는 영향에 대해서도 보고하였다.

중고온 열전재료로서의 응용 가능성이 높은 HMS (higher manganese silicide)는 높은 제백계수, 낮은 전기저항, 높은 산화 저항성뿐만 아니라 구성 원소가 풍부하며 친환경적인 열전재료이다. HMS는 주로 용해/응고법, 단결정 성장법에 의해 합성되지만, 구조적인 불균질성 및 많은 합성 에너지를 소비하는 단점이 있다. 또한 진성 HMS는 비교적 낮은 열전특성을 나타내기 때문에 도핑에 의한 열전특성의 개선이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 HMS의 한 종류인 MnSi1.73에 Cr을 도핑한 화합물 MnSi1.73:Crx (x=0, 0.005, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03)를 고상반응(solid state reaction)과 진공 열간압축성형(hot pressing)을 통해 제조하였다. XRD와 Rietveld refinement를 통해 상변화 및 상분율을 분석하였고, 323~823 K까지 전기적 및 열적 특성을 측정하여 열전 성능지수(ZT)를 평가하였다.

In order to predict droplet velocity and temperature profiles and fractional solidification with flight distance during spray forming, the Newtonian heat transfer formulation has been coupled with the classical heterogeneous nucleation and the specific solidification process. It has been demonstrated that the thermal profile of the droplet in flight is significantly affected by process parameters such as droplet size, initial gas velocity, undercooling. As the droplet size and/or the initial gas velocity increase, the onset and completion of solidification are shifted to greater flight distances and the solidification process also extends over a wider range of flight distances. The amounts of solid fractions formed during recoalescence, segregated solidification and eutectic solidification are insensitive to droplet size and initial gas velocity whereas those are strongly affected by the degree of undercooling. There are good linear relations between the undercooling and the corresponding solid fractions generated during recoalesced, segregated and eutectic stages.

A mathematical model has been developed for predicting kinematic, thermal, and solidification histories of atomized droplets during flight. Liquid droplet convective cooling, recalescence, equilibrium-state solidification, and solid-phase cooling were taken into account in the analysis of the solidification process. The spherical shell model was adopted where the heterogeneous nucleation is initiated from the whole surface of a droplet. The growth rate of the solid-liquid interface was determined from the theory of crystal growth kinetics with undercooling caused by the rapid solidification. The solid fraction after recalescence was obtained by using the integral method. The thermal responses of atomized droplets to gas velocity, particle size variation, and degree of undercooling were investigated through the parametric studies. It is possible to evaluate the solid fraction of the droplet according to flight distance and time in terms of a dimensionless parameter derived from the overall energy balance of the system. It is also found that the solid fraction at the end of recalescence is not dependent on the droplet size and nozzle exit velocity but on the degree of subcooling.

$Na^+$-beta-alumina solid electrolyte was synthesized by solid state reaction using $Li_2O$ and MgO as a phase stabilizer, and the effect of stabilizers on the phase formation and sintering density was investigated. In order to determine the phase fraction according to the synthesizing temperature, the molar ratio of [$Na_2O$] : [$Al_2O_3$] was fixed at 1 : 5, and calcination was conducted at temperatures between $1200{\sim}1500^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. In the $Li_2O$-$Na_2O$-$Al_2O_3$ ternary system, ${\beta}^{{\prime}{\prime}}$-alumina phase fraction considerably increased by the secondary phase transition at $1500^{\circ}C$, whereas it maintained similarly in the MgO-$Na_2O$-$Al_2O_3$ system. Additionally, the disc-type specimens of $Na^+$-beta-alumina were sintered at the temperature between $1550{\sim}1650^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, and relative sintering densities, phase changes, and microstructures were analyzed. In case of $Li_2O$-stabilized $Na^+$-beta-alumina, ${\beta}^{{\prime}{\prime}}$-phase fraction and relative density of specimen sintered at $1600^{\circ}C$ were 94.7% and 98%, respectively. Relative density of MgO-stabilized $Na^+$-beta-alumina increased with a rise in sintering temperature.

To synthesize the Ti₃AlC₂ MAX phase, a crucial precursor for generating the two-dimensional material MXene, the use of Ti scrap as an initial material is an economically feasible approach. This study aims to optimize the synthesis conditions for the phase fraction of the Ti₃AlC₂ MAX phase utilizing Ti scrap as the Ti source. The deoxidation of Ti powders, prepared through the hydrogenation-dehydrogenation process from Ti scrap, was effectively accomplished using the deoxidation in solid-state (DOSS) process. The optimal synthesis conditions were established by blending DOSS-Ti, Al, and graphite powders with particle sizes ranging from 25 ~ 32 ㎛ in a molar ratio of 3:1.1:2. The resulting phase fractions were as follows: Ti₃AlC₂ at 97.25 wt.%, TiC at 0.93 wt.%, and Al₃Ti at 1.82 wt.%. Furthermore, the oxygen content of the Ti₃AlC₂ MAX powder, spanning from 25 ~ 45 ㎛, was measured at 4,210 ppm.

In order to have better insights into the chemical differentiation of Earth from its magma ocean phase to the current stratified structure, detailed information of crystallization kinetics of silicate melts consisting of the magma ocean is essential. The structural transitions in oxide glasses and melts upon crystallization provide improved prospects for a systematic and quantitative understanding of the crystallization processes. Here, we report the $^{27}Al$ 3QMAS NMR spectra for sol-gel synthesized $Al_2O_3$ glass with varying temperature and annealing time. The NMR spectra for the amorphous $Al_2O_3$ show well-resolved Al coordination environments, characterized with mostly $^{[4,5]}Al$ and a minor fraction of $^{[6]}Al$. The fraction of $^{[5]}Al$ in the alumina phase decreases with increasing annealing time at constant temperature. The NMR results of $Al_2O_3$ phases also imply that multiple processes (e.g., crystallization and/or changes in structural disorder within glasses) could involve upon its phase transition. The current results and method can be useful to understand crystallization kinetics of diverse natural and multi-component silicate glasses and melts. The potential result may yield atomic-level understanding of Earth's chemical evolution and differentiation from the magma ocean.
