  • Publication number: 20220158067
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing a Heusler-based phase thermoelectric material using an amorphous phase precursor. More specifically disclosed is a method for producing a powder or bulk thermoelectric material having a microstructure including a Heusler-based phase with a thermoelectric effect by crystallization of an amorphous phase precursor prepared by a non-equilibrium processes. Also disclosed is a device using a Heusler-based phase thermoelectric material produced by the method. The method largely avoids the efficiency problems of conventional methods, including low productivity in scaling up caused by long annealing time, high annealing temperature, and contamination during nanopowder production, achieving improved process efficiency. In addition, the method enables efficient production of a thermoelectric material having a nano-sized microstructure that is difficult to produce by a conventional method.

  • Publication number: 20030029526
    Abstract: Disclosed is a quasicrystalline phase-reinforced Mg-based metallic alloy with high warm and hot formability, and making method thereof. The metallic alloy comprises a composition of Mg-1˜10 at % Zn-0.1˜3 at % Y, in which a two-phase region consisting of a quasicrystalline phase and a magnesium-based solid solution phase exists. Constituting a matrix structure, the Mg-based solid solution phase (&agr;-Mg) is formed as a primary solid phase upon solidification. The quasicrystalline phase serves as a second phase and forms, together with the Mg-based solid solution phase, a eutectic phase, thereby reinforcing the matrix. The materials obtained through the hot rolling or extrusion of the cast alloy have an increased volume % of the second phase and thus show significantly increased strength.
