Abstract
This study has been carried out to investigate the effect of reaction milling time on the synthesis of Ti- TiC p powder synthesised from the elemental titanium and activated carbon by reaction milling(RM), and the effect of vacuu urn hot pressing temperature and TiC volume fraction on microstructural and mechanical properties of Ti- TiC comp posite $\infty$ns이idated by vacuum hot pressing(VHP).T The elemental powders of titanium and activated carbon can be converted into Ti- TiC composite powders by react tion milling for about 300hours, and were the average grain size of the as- milled powders has been measured to be a about $5\mu\textrm{m}$. The relative density of Ti- TiC VHPed above $1000^{\circ}C$ during Ihr is about 98% and the mechanical properties o of In- situ Ti- TiC composites are improved by TiC particle dispersed uniformly on titanium matrix. In order to investig gate thermal stability of Ti- TiC composite, after annealing at $600^{\circ}C$ for 80hrs micro- Vickers hardness have been perf formed, and the values have been shown little changed as compared with those before annealing. The compact has b been tested on high temperature compressive test at $700^{\circ}C$ and has showed a high temperature compressive strength of 330MPa in a Ti- 20vol% TiC.
본 연구는 티타늄과 활성탄소 원료분말을 반응밀링법에 의해 합성시, 밀링시간에 따른 Ti-TiC 복합재료의 미세조직과 기계적 성질에 미치는 TiC vol.% 및 열간압축성형온도의 영향에 관해 조사하였다. 티타늄과 활성 탄소 원료분말을 300시간 밀링 후 $5\mu\textrm{m}$이하의 미세한 구형의 Ti-TiC복합분말을 생성시킬 수 있었다. 반응밀링된 분말을 $1000^{\circ}C$이상에서 1시간동안 진공열간압축성형한 경우 이론밀도의 98%에 가까운 우수한 성형체를 얻었으며, TiC입자가 티타늄 기지 전반에 걸쳐 고르게 분산되어 Ti-TiC 복합재료의 기계적 특성을 향상시켰다. Ti-TiC복합재료의 고온안정성을 고찰하기 위해 $600^{\circ}C$등온열처리한 결과 80시간까지는 경도의 큰 변화없이 열적으로 안정하였다. Ti-20vol%TiC 복합재료를 $700^{\circ}C$에서 고온압축시험을 한 경우 330MPa의 높은 항복강도값을 나타내었다.
