    N-doped titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles were prepared by metallothermic reduction (MTR) method and their photocatalytic activities under UV and visible light irradiation were investigated. The mixture composed of anatase-type TiO2, Mg and NaN3 was calcined at 600°C in nitrogen atmosphere for 1 hour. Although two types of TiO2 particles, with low and high crystallinity, were used as starting materials, both obtained particles kept anatase-type crystalline and XPS spectra of them had peaks assigned to Ti-N bond. The absorption onset of the particles prepared from TiO2 with low crystallinity shifted significantly from UV region to visible one. This N-doped TiO2 particles had photocatalytic activity against oxidative degradation of gaseous 2-propanol even under visible light (>440 nm) irradiation.

    TiO2 samples doped by B were prepared by the calcination of TiB2 in the air condition and metallothermic reduction (MTR) of TiO2 with Mg and B2O3 which were calcined in the Ar condition. As a result, we found that we could effectively dope B atoms to TiO2 samples by these methods, which were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy of the 1 s orbital for B. These samples also show the photocatalytic activity for the oxidation of 2-propanol under the visible-light irradiation.

    One of the most important subjects in the P/M manufacturing is productivity of compacts. There are two processes that are controlling productivity in P/M manufacturing. (1) Discharging of powders from the hopper. (2) Filling of powder into the die cavity.
    To evaluate the discharging characteristics of powders, the simplified discharging equipment was designed to measure the critical discharging diameter of iron based pre-mixed powder. The critical discharging diameter showed good relation to flow patterns of powders in the hopper.
    In the die filling process, the air release from the die cavity was found to be important phenomena. “Agitating-shoe” which can accelerate the air release from the die cavity was able to increase the filling rate and decrease the weight variation of compacts compared to a conventional feed shoe.

    Along with growth of conventional PM (Powder Metallurgy) industry, advanced PM technologies like wrought PM aluminum alloys, super plastic super alloy, mechanically alloyed ODS alloys seemed attractive for the industry to have further growth. New materials and processes that fit to Japanese automotive and appliance industries have been developed inspired by the advanced PM technologies.
    PM Al-Si-X alloys that adapt to iron and steel structure were developed. For improved economics and NNS (Near Net Shape) formability, encapsulation-free Powder Extrusion process and coining type Powder Forging process were developed. Based upon these technologies, more functional new materials than simple structural materials were also developed, for example light weight heat sink and high performance engine cylinder liners.

    Sintered materials have been widely used for valve seat insert (VSI) for automotive engines. They have possessed high flexibility in their alloying design to increase their performance in heat and wear resistance in comparison with that of conventional wrought steel and cast alloys. Especially several high cobalt containing sintered materials are used as exhaust valve seat insert materials because it's high wear and heat resistant properties. Recently, the circumstance of exhaust valve seat inserts has become sever due to A/F ratio (Air/Fuel ratio) of recent engines are set to leaner than that of conventional. This trend is aim to reduce exhaust gases and fuel consumption. On the other hands, the reduction use of high environmental burden materials such as cobalt has also been continually needed. And cobalt is expensive, reduce cobalt content is good for economy of these materials. This paper reports the development and the application detail of cobalt-free, lead-free and environmentally friendly exhaust valve seat insert.

    In this experiment, three kinds of sintered SUS304 stainless steels (P/M stainless steels) whose porosity ratios were 17.06 (compressed at 392 MPa), 11.78 (compressed at 588 MPa) and 8.75% (compressed at 784 MPa) were used. The dissolution behavior of these sintered SUS304 stainless steels in the aqueous solution composed of H2SO4 and NaCl were examined compared with that of the conventionally processed SUS304 stainless steel (I/M specimen). All of the P/M SUS304 specimens showed almost linear increment of corrosion mass loss against reaction time and the specimen with higher porosity ratio showed more mass loss, while the I/M specimen showed evidently much less mass loss than any P/M specimens. The reactivation ratio for the P/M SUS304 specimen was higher than the I/M SUS304 specimen and it increased almost linearly with increasing porosity ratio. In the case of 72 ks of reaction time, the charge transfer resistance, Rct, is highest in the specimen compressed at 785 MPa, while it is lowest in the P/M specimen compressed at 392 MPa. In the longer region than 144 ks, all of the three P/M specimens show the almost constant Rct value of 200 Ω. These Rct tendencies well correspond to the time dependence curve of mass loss.

    The green SUS304 stainless steel powder compacts were prepared by the conventional die and warm die compaction. Then they were sintered at 1393 K, 1473 K and 1523 K in three kinds of atmospheres, i.e. N2 gas, Ar gas and vacuum, and their corrosion behavior were investigated by the electrochemical procedure. Both mass losses of the specimens prepared by conventional compaction or warm compaction decreased almost linearly with an increase in sintered density ratio. The data points, however, fall on two different straight lines. The measurement of electrochemical reactivation ratio was carried out by the newly developed method in this study, and it was confirmed that the reactivation ratio of the specimen sintered in N2 gas was lower than those of the specimens sintered in Ar or vacuum. This result suggests that the specimen sintered in N2 gas has less corrosion resistance than those sintered in Ar or vacuum.

    The conventional die (C/C) and warm die compaction (W/C) were applied to prepare the green powder compacts of SUS304 and SUS316 stainless steels. These green compacts were sintered at 1393 K, 1473 K and 1523 K in three kinds of atmospheres, i.e. N2 gas, Ar gas and vacuum, and some of the sintered compacts thus obtained were subjected to shot peening treatment. Both mass losses of the SUS304 and SUS316 sintered specimens prepared by W/C process decreased almost linearly with an increase in sintered density ratio. The data points, however, fell on two different straight lines, and it was recognized that the corrosion resistance of SUS316 sintered specimen was better than that of SUS304 sintered specimen. The reactivation ratios of the SUS304 sintered specimens prepared by C/C process were about 30% and about 58% respectively for without shot peening and with shot peening treatment, which indicates that the corrosion resistance could not be improved by the shot peeing treatment. And it was also confirmed that this reactivation ratio could not be improved by shot peening process on both the SUS304 and SUS316 sintered specimens prepared through the W/C process.

    Materials used for this experiment were three kinds of Type 304 stainless steels: the first one was made by the conventional wrought process (I/M), the second one was made by conventional powder metallurgy process (P/M) and the third one was made by Metal Injection Molding process (MIM). Using these three stainless steel specimens the corrosion behavior of them were investigated in the aqueous solution (2.5 kmol/m3H2SO4+0.2 kmol/m3NaCl) through potentiodynamic polarization curve measurement and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). In EIS measurement, a natural electrode potential with perturbation AC potential, amplitude of which was 10 mV was applied to the specimen, and analyzing frequency range was from 100 kHz to 1 mHz. Both the potentiodynamic polarization curve and the Nyquist plot curve of MIM specimen were similar to I/M specimen. These curves of P/M specimens were differed greatly from those of MIM and I/M specimens. Therefore it might be suggested that MIM process is quite suitable to improve the corrosion resistance. On the other hand, time constants of P/M and MIM specimens are similar, but they differed remarkably from that of I/M specimen, which is considered to be due to the remained pores in P/M and MIM specimens.
