ZnO를 통상적인 소결온도 이상의 온도 1385℃에서 소결하는 과정에서 mm 크기로 거대 성장된 입자를 갖는 세라믹스를 제조하였다. 1400℃에서 8시간 소결하는 경우 성장에 참여하지 않은 입자의 크기는 30~40 ㎛이고 거대 성장된 입자는 1,000 ㎛에 달하여 부피비 최소 10,000배 이상의 급속한 성장이 이루어졌다. 이러한 급속한 성장의 원인으로 일차 입자 크기분포, 성형압 불균일 또는 불순물의 합입등을 고려하였으며, 이들 중 일차입자 크기 분포일 것으로 추정되나 확실한 증거를 확보하지 못하였다. 미세구조 관찰을 통해 거대입자 성장은 주변의 입자를 통째로 합치는 과정을 통해 성장하는 것으로 추정된다.

$TiH_2$ nanopowder was made by high energy ball milling. The milled $TiH_2$ and CNT powders were then simultaneously synthesized and consolidated using pulsed current activated sintering (PCAS) within one minute under an applied pressure of 80 MPa. The milling did not induce any reaction between the constituent powders. Meanwhile, PCAS of the $TiH_2$-CNT mixture produced a Ti-TiC composite according to the reaction ($0.92TiH_2+0.08CNT{\rightarrow}0.84Ti+0.08TiC+0.92H_2$, $0.84TiH_2+0.16CNT{\rightarrow}0.68Ti+0.16TiC+0.84H_2$). Highly dense nanocrystalline Ti-TiC composites with a relative density of up to 99.7% were obtained. The hardness and fracture toughness of the dense Ti-8 mole% TiC and Ti-16 mole% TiC produced by PCAS were also investigated. The hardness of the Ti-8 mole% TiC and Ti-16 mole% TiC composites was higher than that of Ti. The hardness value of the Ti-16 mole% TiC composite was higher than that of the Ti-8 mole% TiC composite without a decrease in fracture toughness.

The purpose of this paper is to review the state of laser processing technology using metal powders. In recent years, a series of research and development efforts have been undertaken worldwide to develop laser processing technologies to fabricate metal-based parts. Layered manufacturing by the laser melting process is gaining ground for use in manufacturing rapid prototypes (RP), tools (RT) and functional end products. Selective laser sintering / melting (SLS/SLM) is one of the most rapidly growing rapid prototyping techniques. This is mainly due to the processes's suitability for almost any materials, including polymers, metals, ceramics and many types of composites. The interaction between the laser beam and the powder material used in the laser melting process is one of the dominant phenomena defining feasibility and quality. In the case of SLS, the powder is not fully melted during laser scanning, therefore the SLS-processed parts are not fully dense and have relatively low strength. To overcome this disadvantage, SLM and laser cladding (LC) processes have been used to enable full melting of the powder. Further studies on the laser processing technology will be continued due to the many potential applications that the technology offers.

In spite of the many attractive properties of (W,Ti)C, its low fracture toughness limits its wide application. To improve the fracture toughness generally a second phase is added to fabricate a nanostructured composite. In this regard, graphene was considered as the reinforcing agent of (W,Ti)C. (W,Ti)C-graphene composites that were sintered within 2 min using pulsed current activated heating under a pressure of 80 MPa. The rapid consolidation method allowed retention of the nano-scale microstructure by blocking the grain growth. The effect of graphene on the hardness and microstructure of the (W,Ti)C-graphene composite was studied using a Vickers hardness tester and FE-SEM. The grain size of (W,Ti)C was reduced remarkably by the addition of graphene. Furthermore, the hardness decreased and the fracture toughness improved with the addition of graphene.

Functional metal prototypes are often required in numerous industrial applications. These components are typically needed in the early stage of a project to determine form, fit and function. Recent R/P(Rapid Prototyping) part are made of soft materials such as plastics, wax, paper, these master models cannot be employed durable test in real harsh working environment. Parts by direct metal rapid tooling method, such as laser sintering, by now are hard to get net shape, pores of the green parts of powder casting method must be infiltrated to get proper strength as tool, and new type of 3D direct tooling system combining fabrication welding arc and cutting process is reported. But a system which can build directly 3D parts of high performance functional material as metal park would get long period of system development, massive investment and other serious obstacles, such as patent. In this paper, through the rapid tooling process as silicon rubber molding using R/P master model, and fabricate wax pattern in that silicon rubber mold using vacuum casting method, then we translated the wax patterns to numerous metal tool prototypes by new investment casting process combined conventional investment casting with rapid prototyping & rapid tooling process. With this wax-injection-mold-free investment casting, we developed new investment casting process of fabricating numerous functional metal prototypes from one master model, combined 3-D CAD, R/P and conventional investment casting and tried to expect net shape measuring total dimension shrinkage from R/P pare to metal part.

0.5wt% $B_4$C를 첨가한 SiC분말로부터 스파크 플라즈마 소결(SPS)로 급속 치밀화 하였다. 이 공정의 독특한 특징은 매우 빠른 승온 속도와 짧은 시간에 완전 치밀한 시편을 얻을 수 있는 가능성이다. 승온 속도와 가압력은 $100^{\circ}C$/min 과 40MPa으로 유지시켰는데, 소결 온도와 유지 시간은 각각 1800, 1850, 1900과 $1950^{\circ}C$ 그리고 10, 20과 30min으로 하였다. $1950^{\circ}C$에서 SPS 소결한 시편은 거의 이론밀도에 이르렀다. $1850^{\circ}C$에서 3C로부터 6H로 상전이 되는 것이 XRD에서 나타났다. 급속 소결한 SiC 세라믹스는 2$\mu\textrm{m}$ 이하 크기의 초미세 등축 입자와 폭 0.5∼2$\mu\textrm{m}$, 길이 3∼10$\mu\textrm{m}$의 길게 자란 입자의 이중 미세구조로 구성되었다. 이축강도는 소결 유지 시간이 증가할수록 증가하였다. $1950^{\circ}C$에서 30min 유지하면 392.7 MPa의 강도에 도달하였는데. 기공이 줄어들면 강도가 상승하는 일반적인 경향과 일치한다. 한편, 소결 유지시간이 증가할수록 파괴 인성은 증가하고 있지만. 2.17∼2.34MPa$.$$m^{1/2}$의 낮은 값을 유지하고 있는데, 파단면이 거의 입내 파괴 모드에 기인하는 것으로 생각된다.

Various kinds of rapid prototyping processes are available, such as stereo-lithography apparatus(SLA), fused deposition modeling(FDM), selective laser sintering(SLS), 3 dimensional printing(3DP), and laminated object manufacturing(LOM). In this study, benchmark tests are carried out to obtain detailed informations about surface roughness and mechanical properties of those parts. Although the patterns and roughness averages of part surface are dependent on the surface direction, the roughness of SLA part is the best and that of FDM or 3DP part is the worst. It is shown that FDM part has an advantage in impact strength, SLS(or EOS) part in compressive strength, and LOM part has an advantage in tensile strength and heat resistance, but the change of building direction in FDM and LOM processes severely weakens the tensile and impact strengths.

For the direct metal shape processing the powder feed device which is different from the widely used in rapid prototyping. is developed, The three dimensional object is shaped with the melting metal powder. The developed research has applied to rapid prototyping in ultraprecision for MEMS and medical science fields required of rapid manufacture of complex shape. The goal of this study make 3D model which has precision accuracy. Powder spreading apparatus has been more improved because that the control of powder spread is very important in layer manufacturing. It consists of the vibration motor, nozzle and tube which supplies various metal powder. This apparatus could control the spreading velocity that could control powder spreading thickness. Laser on/off switch was adapted because laser scanning velocity must be preserved constantly to prevent heat transformation of laser overheating. The error between sintered thickness md experimental one occurred by shrinkage in sintering melting process. The problem of heat transformation was solved by On/Off switching system.
