In this study, electrolytic copper powders were consolidated by high-pressure torsion process (HPT) which is the most effective process to produce bulk ultrafine grained and nanocrystalline metallic materials among various severe plastic deformation processes. The bulk samples were manufactured by the HPT process at 2.5 GPa and 1/2, 1 and 10 turns. After 10 turns, full densification was achieved by high pressure with shear deformation and ultrafine grained structure (average grain size of 677 nm) was observed by electron backscatter diffraction and a scanning transmission electron microscope.

In this study, Cu-10Sn and Cu-10Sn-2Ni-0.2Si alloys have been manufactured by spray casting in order to achieve a fine scale microstructure and high tensile strength, and investigated in terms of microstructural evolution, aging characteristics and tensile properties. Spray cast alloys had a much lower microhardness than continuous cast billet because of an improved homogenization and an extended Sn solid solubility. Spray cast Cu-Sn-Ni-Si alloy was characterized by an equiaxed grain microstructure with a small-sized (Ni, Si)-rich precipitates. Cold rolling of Cu-Sn-Ni-Si alloy increased a tensile strength to 1220 MPa, but subsequent ageing treatment reduced a ultimate tensile strength to 780 MPa with an elongation of 18%.

It was investigated whether mechanical alloying (MA) processing could be more effective to the formation of metallic composite powder in Cu-C system. Elemental powder mixtures of Cu-70vo1.%C were mechanically alloyed with an attritor in an argon atmosphere and microstructural evolution was examined by X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. It has been found that even with the high volume fraction of immiscible graphite in Cu-C system, the refinement with a few ten nanometer size as well as the highly uniform distribution of copper phases have been achieved by the MA processing.

In this work, powder metallurgy and severe plastic deformation by high-pressure torsion (HPT) approaches were combined to achieve both full density and grain refinement at the same time. Pure Cu powders were mixed with 5 and 10 vol% diamonds and consolidated into disc-shaped samples at room temperature by HPT at 1.25 GPa and 1 turn, resulting in ultrafine grained metallic matrices embedded with diamonds. Neither heating nor additional sintering was required with the HPT process so that in situ consolidation was successfully achieved at ambient temperature. Significantly refined grain structures of Cu metallic matrices with increasing diamond volume fractions were observed by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), which enhanced the microhardness of the Cu-diamond composites.

미생물 침출과 용매추출 기술을 이용하여 전자스크랩중의 구리 및 주석의 회수에 관한 연구를 실시하였다. Asperigillus niger를 이용한 미생물 침출시 신진대사 작용에 의해 구연산(citric acid)이 생성되며 이러한 구연산에 의해 전자스크랩중의 구리, 철, 주석, 납 등의 성분이 침출된다. 이러한 침출용액으로부터 먼저 10vo1.% LIX84를 이용하여 선택적으로 구리를 추출할 수 있었고, LIX84에 의해 추출 분리된 구리는 전해채취공정을 거쳐 99.9%의 금속 구리로 회수가 가능하였다. 한편, 구리가 추출 분리된 침출여액에서 주석을 회수하기 위해서 10% Alamine336을 이용하여 철 및 주석을 추출하고, 철 및 주석이 추출된 유기상을 NaCl용액을 탈거제로 사용함으로써 순수한 철 및 주석의 혼합용액을 얻었다. 이러한 혼합용액에서 철분말을 이용한 치환법으로 주석을 금속상태의 침전물로 회수가 가능하였다.

전기분해로 회수된 음극회수-금속분말의 광물학적 특성을 조사하기 위하여 전해질 종류, 전극간격 및 전류변화에 대하여 전기분해 실험을 수행하였다. 황산구리($CuSO_4{\cdot}5H_2O$) 분말에 대한 황산 및 소금 전해질 용액을 사용한 전기분해 결과, 소금 전해질 용액에서 Cu의 수율이 다소 높았다. XRD 분석결과, 전해질 용액의 종류에 따라 광종이 변화되었다. 즉 구리($Cu^0$), chalcanthite 및 cuprite 등은 황산 전해질 용액에서, 그리고 구리, nantokite 및 chalcanthite 등은 소금 전해질 용액에서 나타나는 것을 확인하였다. 특히 소금 전해질 용액에서, 전극간격 및 전류(또는 전류밀도)는 Cu 회수율, 양극무게 감소와 비례하였으나 양극부식 강도는 전류와 비례 그리고 전극간격과는 반비례하는 경향을 보였다. 미분쇄하지 않은 음극-회수 금속분말에 대한 XRD분석에서 구리결정의 평균크기는 전극간격의 감소 및 전류가 증가할수록 증가하였다. 수지상 구리가 형성되는 것으로 보아 전극/용액 경계면에서 물질전달은 확산에 의해 통제되는 것으로 사료된다.

Carbon nanotubes(CNTs) have outstanding mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. Thus, by placing nanotubes into appropriate matrix, it is postulated that the resulting composites will have enhanced properties. Cold spray can produce thick metal-based composite coatings with very high density, low oxygen content, and phase purity, which leads to excellent physical properties. In this study, we applied cold spray coating process for the consolidation of Cu/CNT composite powder. The precursor powder mixture, in which CNTs were filled into copper particles, was prepared to improve the distribution of the CNT in copper matrix. Pure copper coating was also conducted by cold spraying as a reference. Annealing heat treatment was applied to the coating to examine its effect on the properties of the composite coating. The hardness of Cu/CNT composite coating represented similar value to that of pure copper coating. It was importantly found that the electrical conductivity of the Cu/CNT composite coating significantly increased from 53% for the standard condition to almost 55% in the optimized condition, taking annealed ($500^{\circ}C/1hr$.) copper coating as a reference (100%). The thermal conductivity of Cu/CNT composite coating layer was higher than that of pure Cu coating. It was also found that the electrical and thermal conductivities of Cu/CNT composite could be improved through annealing heat treatment. The microstructural evolution of Cu/CNT coating was also investigated and related to the macroscopic properties.

Dependence of the freeze-drying process condition on microstructure of porous W and pore formation mechanism were studied. Camphene slurries with $WO_3$ contents of 10 vol% were prepared by milling at $50^{\circ}C$ with a small amount of dispersant. Freezing of a slurry was done in Teflon cylinder attached to a copper bottom plate cooled at $-25^{\circ}C$. Pores were generated subsequently by sublimation of the camphene during drying in air for 48 h. The green body was hydrogen-reduced at $800^{\circ}C$ for 30 min, and sintered in the furnace at $900^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. After heat treatment in hydrogen atmosphere, $WO_3$ powders were completely converted to metallic W without any reaction phases. The sintered samples showed large pores with the size of about $70{\mu}m$ which were aligned parallel to the camphene growth direction. Also, the internal wall of large pores and near bottom part of specimen had relatively small pores with dendritic structure due to the growth of camphene dendrite depending on the degree of nucleation and powder rearrangement in the slurry.

The preparation of single-phase $CuLaO_2$ with delafossite-type structure by means of the solid-state reaction method was investigated using X-ray diffraction. The results showed that notwhistanding the fact that there was a trace of metallic copper, nearly single-phase $CuLaO_2$ was obtained by using $La(OH)_3$ as a lanthanum source and by firing the mixed powder with nonstoichiometric composition ratio of $La(OH)_3:Cu_2O=1:1.425$ in a vacuum at 1273 K for 10 h. The measurement of electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient showed that $CuLaO_2$ thus obtained was a p-type semiconductor and had a Seebeck coefficient of approximately $70{\mu}V/K$.
