Abstract
In case of the uranium (U) and zirconium (Zr) powders which have been utilized for the production of a metallic fuel in the various nuclear applications, the homogenous distribution of U powders in the Zr-U pellet has influenced significantly on the nuclear fuel performance. The inhomogeneity in a powder process..... More

Abstract
We used Sn-58Bi and Cu wires to investigate the effects of variable conditions (such as pressure and wire diameter) on the formation of three-component nanoparticles. In the synthesis of the three-component nanoparticles, pulsed wire discharge was used to sublimate the wires. In this system, the K factor is described as..... More

Abstract
Fe-TiB₂ powder was synthesized in-situ by the planetary ball milling and subsequent heat-treatment of an iron boride (FeB) and titanium hydride (TiH₂) powder mixture. Mechanical activation of the (FeB+TiH₂) powder mixtures was observed after a milling time of 3 hours at 700 rpm of rotation speed, but activation was not..... More

Abstract
This study conducted an analysis of the carbothermal reduction of oxidized WC/Co hardmetal scrap with solid carbon under an argon and hydrogen gas atmosphere. The WC/Co hardmetal scrap oxide consisted of WO₃ and CoWO₄. WO₃ was reduced before CoWO₄ by the solid carbon regardless of gas atmosphere. The simple oxide..... More
