탄화규소 세라믹의 충격손상 및 강도저하에 미치는 입자의 재질 및 크기의 영향

Influences of Particle Property and Its Size Impact Damage and Strength Degradation in Silicon Carbide Ceramics

본 연구에서는 고온에서 높은 강도특성을 유지하면서 동시에 내마모성이 뛰어 나 가스터어빈의 부재로서의 사용이 기대되는 탄화규소(SiC) 세라믹에 대하여, 고체입 자의 충격에 의해 생기는 손상에 미치는 입자의 재질 및 크기의 영향을 조사하였다. 또 각 형태의 손상발생 임계치와 강도저하에 미치는 입자크기의 영향에 관해서도 검토 하였다.

The effect of particle property on FOD(foreign object damage) and strength degradation in structural ceramics especially, silicon carbide was investigated by accelerating a spherical particle having different material and different size. The damage induced showed significant differences in their patterns with increase of impact velocity. Also percussion cone was formed at the back part of specimen when particle size became large and its impact velocity exceeded a critical value. The extent of ring cracks was linearly related to particle size, however the impact of steel particle produced larger ring cracks than that of SiC particle. Increasing impact velocity the residual strength showed different degradation behaviors according to particle and its size. In the region the impact site represents nearly elastic deformation behavior, the residual strength was dependent upon the depth of cone crack regardless of particle size. However in elastic- plastic deformation region, the radial cracks led to rapid drop in residual strength.
