Ti-Cu-Ni-Sn quaternary amorphous alloys of $Ti_{50}Cu_{32}Ni_{15}Sn_3$, $Ti_{50}Cu_{25}Ni_{20}Sn_5$, and $Ti_{50}Cu_{23}Ni_{20}Sn_7$ composition were prepared by mechanical alloying in a planetary high-energy ball-mill (AGO-2). The amorphization of all three alloys was found to set in after milling at 300rpm speed for 2h. A complete amorphization was observed for $Ti_{50}Cu_{32}Ni_{15}Sn_3$ and $Ti_{50}Cu_{25}Ni_{20}Sn_5$ after 30h and 20h of milling, respectively. Differential scanning calorimetry analyses revealed that the thermal stability increased in the order of $Ti_{50}Cu_{32}Ni_{15}Sn_3$, $Ti_{50}Cu_{25}Ni_{20}Sn_5$, and $Ti_{50}Cu_{23}Ni_{20}Sn_7$.

Mechanical alloying using high-energy ball mill and subsequent spark plasma sintering (SPS) process was applied to Al-Fe-Cr and Al-Fe-Mo powder mixture to investigate effects of Cr and Mo addition on thermal stability of Al-Fe, and thereby to enhance its thermal stability up to $500^{\circC}$. Various analytical techniques including micro-Vickers hardness test, SEM, TEM, X-ray diffractometry and corrosion test were carried out. It was found that addition of Cr and Mo to Al-Fe system played a role of grain growth inhibitor of matrix Al and some precipitates such as $Al_3Fe$ during SPS and subsequent heat treatment. The inhibition of grain growth resulted in increased Vickers hardness and thermal stability up to $500^{\circC}$ comparing to those of Al-Fe alloy system.

Mechanical alloying using high-energy ball mill and subsequent spark plasma sintering (SPS) process was applied to understand mechanical alloying processing of Al-Fe alloy system. The thermal stability of mechanically alloyed Al-Fe alloy was intended to be enhanced by SPS process. Various analytical techniques including particle size analysis, density measurement, micro-Vickers hardness test, SEM, TEM, and X-ray diffractometry were adopted to find optimum processing conditions for mechanical alloying and subsequent SPS and to estimate thermal stability of the prepared alloy. It was found from the treatment of mechanically alloyed Al-8wt.%Fe powder mixture that needle-shaped $Al_3Fe$ precipitates was formed in the Al-Fe matrix, and the alloy compact showed enhanced densification and reached its full density with little loss of its fine microstructure. After heat treatment at $500^{\circC}$, it was also shown that the thermal stability of Al-8wt.%Fe alloy fabricated in the present study was enhanced, which was due to its fine microstructure developed by fast densification of SPS.

최근, 비납 또는 납의 함량을 줄인 압전 세라믹에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있고, 그에 따른 여러 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 납을 포함하는 세라믹은 높은 소성온도에서 납의 휘발로 인한 특성저하와 환경오염 등이 문제가 된다는 것을 우리는 익히 알고 있다. 그렇기 때문에 PZT계 세라믹스를 대체할 우수한 특성을 가지는 새로운 비납 세리믹스의 조성개발이 시급하다. 비납계 세라믹스 중에서 NKN계를 바탕으로 하는 세라믹스는 가장 기대되는 재료이다. 일반적인 소성에서 순수한 NKN 세라믹은 가장 높은 압전 $d_{33}$상수가 100 pC/N이 넘지 않는다. 그런데 페로브스카이트 구조로된 NKN세라믹스의 A-site에 $Li^{1+}$이온을 치환하면 압전 특성을 향상시킬 수 있다. 그리고, 압전세라믹에서 분극처리는 필수적인데 분극처리는 압전성을 부여할 뿐 아니라 다른 물성도 변화시킴은 잘 알려져 있다. 그러므로 그에 대한 연구 또한 중요한 의미를 갖는다. 따라서 이번 연구에서는 NKN세라믹스에 $Li_2CO_3$를 소결조제로 첨가하여 시편을 제작하였고, 제작된 시편의 특성을 분극전계에 따라 조사하였다.

Ti-37.5at%Si elemental powder mixtures were mechanically alloyed by a high-energy ball mill, followed by CIP (cold isostatic pressing) and HIP (hot isostatic pressing) for different processing conditions. Only elemental phases (Ti and Si) were observed for the 5 min mechanically alloyed (MA 5 min) powder, but only $Ti_5Si_3$phase was observed for the 30 min mechanically alloyed (MA 30 min) powder. $Ti_5Si_3$phase was observed for the HIPed compact of MA 5 min and 30 min powders at 150 and 190 MPa for 3 hr at $1000^{\circ}C$. For the HIPed compacts, the highest sintered density was obtained to be 99.5% of theoretical density by a HIP step at $1350^{\circ}C$ at 190MPa for 3hr. The hardness values of the HIPed $Ti_5Si_3$compacts at $1350^{\circ}C$ at 150/190 MPa for 3hr were higher than HRC 76. The densification and mechanical property of HIPed $Ti_5Si_3$compacts was found to depend on more HIP temperature than HIP pressure.

Mg and Mg-based alloys are most important hydrogen storage materials. It is a lightweight and low-cost materials with high hydrogen storage capacity. However, the formation of hydride at high temperature, the deterioration effect, the hydriding and dehydriding kinetics are bad factor for application. In this study, Mg and Ni have been produced by hydrogen induced mechanical alloying(HIMA) process. The raw materials, Mg(purity 99.9%) chip and Ni(purity 99.95%) chip was prepared by using a planetary ball mill apparatus(FRITSCH pulverisette 5). The balls to chips mass ratio(BCR) are 30:1. The hydrogen pressure induced 2.0MPa and milling times were 12, 24, 48, 72, 96 hours with a rotating speed of 200rpm. X-ray diffraction(XRD) analysis was made to characterize the crystallite size and misfit strain. The crystallite size measured by laser particle size analysis(PSA). Microstructure changes were investigated by scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and the transmission electron microscopy(TEM). The hydrogen storage properties were evaluated by using an Sivert's type automatic pressure-composition-therm(PCT) apparatus.

Mechanical alloying (MA) of Ti-25.0～37.5at%Si powders was carried out in a high-energy ball mill, and in situ thermal analysis was also made during MA. In order to classify the synthesis behavior of the powders with respect to at%Si, the synthesis behavior during MA was investigated by in situ thermal analysis and X-ray diffraction (XRD). In situ thermal analysis curves and XRD patterns of Ti-25.0～26.1at%Si powders showed that there were no peaks during MA, indicating $Ti_{5}$ $Si_3$ was synthesised by a slow reaction of solid state diffusion. Those of Ti-27.1～37.5at%Si powders, however, showed that there were exothermic peaks during MA, indicating $_Ti{5}$ $Si_3$ and$ Ti_3$Si phase formation by a rapid exothermic reaction of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS). For Ti-27.1～37.5at%Si powders, the critical milling times for SHS decreased from 38.1 to 18.5 min and the temperature rise, ΔT (= peak temperature - onset temperature) increased form $19.5^{\circ}C$ to $26.7^{\circ}C$ as at%Si increased. The critical composition of Si for SHS reaction was found to be 27.1at% and the critical value of the negative heat of formation of Ti-27.1at%Si to be -1.32 kJ/g.

Mechanical alloying (MA) of Ti-50.0～66.7at%Si powders was carried out in a high-energy ball mill, and in situ thermal analysis was also made during MA. In order to classify the synthesis behavior of the powders with respect to at%Si, the synthesis behavior during MA was investigated by in situ thermal analysis and X-ray diffraction (XRD). In situ thermal analysis curves and XRD patterns of Ti-50.0～59.6at%Si powders showed that there were exothermic peaks during MA, indicating TiSi, $TiS_2$, and $Ti_{5}$ $Si_4$ phase formation by a rapid exothermic reaction of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS). Those of Ti-59.8～66.7 at%Si powders, however, showed that there were no peaks during MA, indicating any Ti silicide was not synthesised until MA 240 min. For Ti-50.0～59.6at%Si powders, the critical milling times for SHS increased from 34.5 min to 89.5 min and the temperature rise, $\Delta$T (=peak temperature-onset temperature) decreased form $26.2^{\circ}C$ to $17.1^{\circ}C$ as at%Si increased. The critical composition of Si for SHS reaction was found to be 59.6at% and the critical value of the negative heat of formation of Ti-59.6at%Si to be -1.48 kJ/g.

In this study, Material life cycle evaluation was performed to analyze the environmental impact characteristics of TiN-Zr membrane manufacturing process. The software of MLCA was Gabi. Through this, environmental impact assessment was performed for each process. Transition metal nitrides have been researched extensively because of their properties. Among these, TiN has the most attention. TiN is a ceramic materials which possess the good combination of physical and chemical properties, such as high melting point, high hardness, and relatively low specific gravity, high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance. With these properties, TiN plays an important role in functional materials for application in separation hydrogen from fossil fuel. Precursor TiN was synthesized by sol-gel method and zirconium was coated by ball mill method. The metallurgical, physical and thermodynamic characteristics of the membranes were analyzed by using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDS), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Thermo Gravimetry/Differential Thermal Analysis (TG/DTA), Brunauer, Emmett, Teller (BET) and Gas Chromatograph System (GP). As a result of characterization and normalization, environmental impacts were 94% in MAETP (Marine Aquatic Ecotoxicity), 2% FAETP (Freshwater Aquatic Ecotoxicity), 2% HTP (Human Toxicity Potential). TiN fabrication process appears to have a direct or indirect impact on the human body. It is believed that the greatest impact that HTP can have on human is the carcinogenic properties. This shows that electricity use has a great influence on ecosystem impact. TiN-Zr was analyzed in Eco-Indicator '99 (EI99) and CML 2001 methodology.

To enhance the recycling rate of wasted glass bottles toward recycled aggregates, the study would decide optimal comminution equipment based on the particle size distribution, aspect ratio and equipment energy analysis. The impact, compress and abrasion is type of generated force by comminution. So, hammer crusher, shredder, roll crusher and ball mill have been selected because they have characteristic which is each type of force. As a result of the particle size analysis of each product, only the shredder product satisfied concrete and asphalt aggregate quality standard condition. Also, as a result of aspect ratio analysis using Imaging software program (Image J, National institute of health), most of size fraction is confirmed under 1.6 value. It was confirmed that the product has low dangerousness and satisfying to shpage index. Also, the particle reduction ratio against input energy of shredder product was the most high. Therefore, we can decide that the optimal equipment which applicable for comminuting waste glass bottle in certain particle size under 10mm is shredder. The result of study will make contribution to increasing energy efficiency of comminution processing and competitiveness of product.
