A new method to fabricate the fine magnetic abrasives by using mechanical alloying is proposed. The mechanical alloying process is a solid powder process where the powder particles are subjected to high energetic impact by the balls in a vial. As the powder particles in the vial are continuously impacted by the balls, cold welding between particles and fracturing of the particles take place repeatedly during the ball milling process using a planetary mill. After the manufacturing process, fine magnetic abrasives which the guest abrasive particles c lung to the base metal matrix without bonding material can be obtained. The shape of the newly fabricated fine magnetic abrasives was investigated using SEM and its polishing performance was verified by experiment. It is very helpful to finishing the injection mold steel in final polishing stage. The areal ms surface roughness of the workpiece after several polishing processes has decreased to a few nanometer scales.

The structure and mechanical properties of the extruded specimens were investigated in rapid solidified Al-(1, 3, 5) Cr alloys after mechanical alloying. Finer lamellar microstructure could no longer be resolved in the bars obtained by extrusion of the spherical particles after 200 min. of processing time. The structure of extruded bars are highly depended on the processing time of splats. The isothermal annealing of the extruded bars showed that all the alloys had good thermal stability up to $400^{\circ}C$ and did not show the recrystallization phenomena. Severe working of Al-(1, 3, 5) Cr splats produced a very fine grain size and substructural strengthening (high dislocation density and fine grain size). Effects of mechanical alloying on the thermal stability of the extruded bars Al-(1, 3, 5) Cr alloys decreases, with increasing Cr content. But the ultimate tensile Strength in the extruded bars increases with increasing Cr content.

Mg and Mg-based alloys are regarded as strong candidate hydrogen storage materials since their hydrogen capacity exceeds that of known metal hydrides. One of the approaches to improve kinetic is addition of metal oxide. In this paper, we tried to improve the hydrogenation properties of Mg-based hydrogen storage composites. The effect of transition metal oxides, such as $Nb_2O_5$ on the kinetics of the Magnesium hydrogen absorption kinetics was investigated. $MgH_x$-5wt.% $Nb_2O_5$ composites have been synthesized by hydrogen induced mechanical alloying. The powder fabricated was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field Emission-Scanning Electron Microscopy (Fe-SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX), BET and simultaneous Thermo Gravimetric Analysis / Differential Scanning Calorimetry (TG/DSC) analysis. The Absorption / desorption kinetics of $MgH_x$-5wt.% $Nb_2O_5$ (type I and II) are determined at 423, 473, 523, 573 and 623 K.

We applied mechanical alloying process by ball milling to produce molybdenum silicides $MoSi_2$ and $Mo_5Si_3$ using a mixture of elemental molybdenum and silicon powders at room temperature. The intermetallic compound MoSi$_3$ have been obtained by ball milling of $Mo_{33}Si_{67}$ mixture powders for 100 h, which is transformed to single $MoSi_2$ phase by subsequent heat treatment up to $725^{\circ}C$. The grain size of the $MoSi_2$ powders thus obtained was 19 nm, being approximately four times smaller than that of the commercial alloy. The intermetallic compound $MoSi_2$ with grain size of 30 nm have been also obtained by ball milling of $Mo_{62}Si_{38}$ mixture powders for 500 h, which is transformed to single $MoSi_2$ phase by heating up to $1000^{\circ}C$. We believe that the retarded ball milling time for the formation of $MoSi_2$ phase is attributed to its complicated crystal structure and large unit cell. The finer grain size in the ball-milled molybdenum silicides powders is expected to improve room-temperature mechanical properties for high-temperature structural materials.

A single phase $Mg_3Sb_2$ alloy was synthesized by melting the mixture of Mg and Sb metal powders at 1173 K. The figure of merit of the $Mg_3Sb_2$ prepared by melting method increased with temperature and showed a value of $2.39{\times}10^{-2}$ at 593 K. When the $Mg_3Sb_2$ powders were milled at high speed in a planetary ball mill for 12~48 h, Zintle phase ($Mg_3Sb_2$) was maintained as a main phase, but its crystallinity became deteriorated and elemental Sb phase appeared. Sb phase free $Mg_3Sb_2$ could be obtained by the mechanical alloying of high speed ball milling for 24 h using elemental Mg and Sb powder mixtures.

Nanocrystalline NiAl alloy containing 36at.%Al was synthesized by mechanical alloying (MA). Synthesized powder was sintered by a pulse electric current sintering (PECS) facility. Effecting parameters on the phase transformation were discussed in terms of cooling rate and time spent on heat treatment. The behavior of phase transformation for sintered parts was examined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) method. Microstructure was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Martensitic lattice parameter and volume fraction was calculated by direct comparison method in X-ray diffraction analysis.

We obtain a micromechanics-based Helmholtz free energy and then in the framework of irreversible thermodynamics, a kinetic relation, a martensitic nucleation criterion and the reorientation criterion of martensitic variants are obtained. These relations are valid for a three-dimensional proportional and non-proportional loadings and for a combination of mechanical and thermal loading. From the simulated pseudoelastic stress-strain relation of a single crystal with loading rate effect, polycrystalline behavior in case of proportional and non-proportional loading is predicted by a homogenization method. The obtained results are compared quantitatively with experimental results.

Amorphous $MgNi_{1-x}Ti_x$ alloys with the composition of x=0.02, 0.03, 0.05 and 0.07 were synthesized by mechanical alloying. The synthesized alloys were investigated by electrochemical test, XRD and SEM. As increasing Ti concentration, the initial discharge capacity was raised more than that of nanocrystalline Mg-Ni 289 mAh/g, but the electrodes were degraded faster. Comparing to other synthesized alloys, $MgNi_{0.95}Ti_{0.05}$ alloy showed the highest initial discharged capacity 474 mAh/g and maintained $54\%$ of the initial capacity after 10 cycles.

볼밀링법을 이용하여 타이타늄 스펀지와 칩 또는 스크랩으로부터 상온애서 직접 타이타늄 수소와 분말을 재조하는 실험을 행하였다. 실험결과 진공중에서 볼링을 행한 타이타늄 스펀지와 칩의 경우 24시간외 후 합금분말의 크기는 약 20 um 정도의 크기를 갖는 것을 확인하였다. 그러나 수소화 분위기에서 볼밀링을 행한 경우에 12시간 후 수소화분말의 입도는 0.1-0.2 um로 극히 미세한 합금 분말이 제조되었다. 수소분위기에서의 볼밀링에 의한 타이타늄 분말제조는 기존의 방법에 비해 열을 가하지 않고 타이타늄 수소화분말을 얻을 수 있다는 장점과 나노크기의 미세한 수소화 분말을 얻을 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

The microstructual refinement process of Al-5Cr-2Zr alloys mechanical alloying 30h can be divided in five stages ; initial stage, welding predomminance stage, spherical partical formation stage, convolution welding predominance stage, and steady state. The rate of structural of aluminium splats was roughly logarithmic with processing time ; ${\in}$=k/0.78 ln(1+0.0028t). The age hardening in rapidly solidified Al-5Cr-2Zr alloys is ascribed to the coherency and dispersion hardening. Coherency hardening is occurred by matastable cubic Al3Zr precipitates in Al-Cr-Zr alloys. Dispersion hardening after mechanical alloying is attributed to the finely-dispersed $Al_2O_3$ and $Al_4C_3$ in Al-5Cr-2Zr alloys.
