반응결합 알루미나(RBAO)-SiC 세라믹스를 AI금속분말/$AI_2O_3$/SiC 분말혼합체로부터 제조하였다. 하소알루미나와 용융알루미나를 알루미나 분말공급원으로 사용하였다. 출발원료는 단일구경(3mm)또는 혼합구경(3mm+5mm)의 $ZrO_2$볼로 어트리션 밀링 하였다. 정수압 성형한 시편을 $1100^{\circ}C$까지$ 1.5^{\circ}C$/mim로 1차소성한 다음,$ 1500^{\circ}C$~$1600^{\circ}C$까지 $5^{\circ}C$/mim으로 2차소성하였다. 용융알루미나와의 분말혼합체가 하소알루미나와의 분말혼합체보다 분쇄가 더욱 잘 되었다. 또한 단일구가 혼합구보다 분쇄에 더욱 효율적이었다. $AI_2O_3$ 형태에 따른 반응소결거동에는 별 차이가 없었다.
Reaction bonded $AI_2O_3$(RBAO)-SiC ceramics were prepared from the Al/$AI_2O_3$/SiC powder mixture. The calcined alumina and fused alumina were used as the raw $AI_2O_3$ powder. The same sized (3mm) and differently sized (3mm + Smm) $Zr0_2$ balls were used in attrition milling of starting powders. The effect of $AI_2O_3$ powder shapes on the milling efficiency and reaction sintering was investigated. After attrition milling, isopressed compacts were preheated to 1l00$^{\circ}$C with a heating rate l.5$^{\circ}C$/min and then sintered at the temperature range 1500 to 1$600^{\circ}C$ for S hours with a heating rate 5$^{\circ}C$/min. The powder mixture with fused alumina was effectively comminuted than the mixtures with calcined alumina. And the same sized balls milled more effctive than the differently sized balls. The reaction sintering behavior differed not depending on the shapes of $AI_2O_3$ powder.
