In the present paper, we review recycling and applications of titanium binary alloy scraps. The recycling techniques are to successfully prepare low oxygen content ingots using hydrogen plasma arc melting (HPAM) and to produce low oxygen content titanium alloy powders by Hydrogenation-dehydrogenation (HDH) and Deoxidation in solid state (DOSS) process. In addition, as applications of the titanium binary alloy scraps, Ti based solid-solution carbide powders, which would be used for producing Ti based solid-solution cermets with high toughness, were prepared using the titanium binary alloy scraps. These results confirmed that the titanium alloy scraps could be recycled and refined using the HPAM. The resulting oxygen content of the titanium alloy powders were below 1,000 ppm after powderizing. Finally, we had confirmed that the refined titanium alloy powders were able to be utilized as raw materials for preparing the toughened cermets.

서멧이란(Cermet) '세라믹 경질상과 금속 결합상의 복합체"를 의미하나 절삭 골구계에서는 좁은 의미의 "TiC 혹은 Ti(CN)을 바탕을 Ni,Co를 결합상으로 하는 초경재료"를 의미한다. 이런한 서멧은 전략 물질적 성격이 강한 Co,W로 구성된 WC-Co 초경 합금을 대체하기 위해 고안되었는ㄴ데 ㄴ놓은 경도와 고온에서의 화학적 안정성, 낮은 비중과 저렴한 원료 가격등이 장점이나 WC-Co에 비해 상대적으로 낮은 인성이 문제점으로 지적 되어왔다.TiC-Ni 서멧의 낮은 인성을 향상시키기 위해 Ti(CN) 고용체를 바탕으로 하고 제2ㅇ, 제3의 탄화물이나 질화물을 첨가하는 개발 연구가 과거 30여 년간 진행되어왔다. 그러나 많은 연구결과가 조성 개발 위주로 진행되어 왔고, 또 실험간의 불일치와 재현성 결여로 인해 보여진 여러 현상에 대한 보편적인 결론을 내리기 힘든 점이 있었다. 특히, 미세구조와 기ㅔ적 특성에 관한 통합적이고 조직적인 연구가 진행되지 못하였다. 이번 발표에서는 발표자 실험실에서 지난 8 년 간 행하여 온 실험 결과를 바탕으로 탄화물서멧에 나타나는 독특한 현상, 고용체 탄질화물의 열역학적 안정성, 서멧 재료의 유심구조, 표면 에너지 및 strain, 에너지가 미세 구조 형성에 미치는 영향, 그리고 표면층 형성 등 서멧 개발에 관한 중요 관심사에 대해 간단히 살펴보려고 한다.해 간단히 살펴보려고 한다.

Scraps are a byproduct of the machining process used for transforming titanium ingots into useful mechanical parts. Scraps take two forms, namely, bulky scraps, which are produced by cutting, and chipped scraps, which are produced by milling. Bulky scraps are comparatively easier to recycle because of their small surface area and less oxygen content; as a result, they pose only a small risk of explosion. In contrast, chipped scraps pose a higher risk of explosion, because of which, their recycling is complicated, resulting in most such scraps being discarded. With the aim of avoiding this waste, we proposed a novel process for converting chipped scraps into stable carbide materials. Methods typically applied to reduce particle size and impair the formation of solid solution type phase in the carbide materials were used to improve the mechanical properties of carbides prepared from chipped scraps. Our novel recycling process reduced carbide production costs and improved carbide quality.

The Co-Cr as-cast alloys are widely used in the manufacturing of orthopedic implants made with investment casting techniques because of its high strength, good corrosion resistance and excellent biocompatibility properties. Carbide precipitation at grain boundaries and interdendritic regions is the major strenthening mechanism in the as-cast condition. In this study, effects of GPS (Gas Pressured Sintering) heat-treatment on the microstructure and crystallinity of the as-cast Co-Cr alloy prepared by investment casting were investigated. It was confirmed that the content of metal carbide ($Cr_{23}C_6$) was increased in the grain boundary by using optical microscopy (OM), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS).
