Aluminum alloy matrix composites reinforced with various amounts of $Al_2O_3$ short fibers have been produced by rheo-compocasting accompanied by hot pressing. When composites reinforced with fibers are produced by rheo-compocasting, S-L process is the most effective method for homogeneous dispersion of fibers. A sound composites with the improved orientation(3 dimension${\rightarrow}$2 dimension) of the fibers and increased volume fraction of them have been fabricated through the hot pressing of the casted composites. Fibers are broken down when rheo-compocasting, hot pressing, and $T_6$ treating. Among them fibers are broken down most heavily in the hot pressing. And even in the case of the composite reinforced with 30 vol% fibers, which showed the hardest fiber break down, aspect ratio(11.6) is higher than critical aspect ratio(10.7). The fiber strengthening effect in the composites has showed upto 573K. As the test temperature increases to the range of 573K, the effect has been higher. The fracture of composites is controlled by fiber from room temperature to 473K, but the fracture of composites is controlled by interface between fiber and matrix alloy above 473K.

It was possible to grow the $Al_{2}O_{3}$ based $Y_{3}A_{5}O_{12}(YAG),ZrO_{2}$ binary and ternary eutectic fibers using micro-pulling down method with a growing rate of 0.1~15 mm/min. While $Al_{2}O_{3}/ZrO_{2}$ showed cellular-lamellar structure, $Al_{2}O_{3}$/YAG and $Al_{2}O_{3}$/YAG/$ZrO_{2}$ternary eutectic fibers showed homogeneous Chinese script lamellar structures. The microstructures of $Al_{2}O_{3}/ZrO_{2}$ binary eutectic fibers changed with solidification rate from lamellar pattern to cellular structure. The interlamellar spacing agreed with the inverse-square-root dependance on pulling rate according to $\lambda$=$kv_p\;{-1/2}$. $Al_{2}O_{3}/ZrO_{2}$ binary eutectic fibers recorded the highest tensile strength of about 1560MPa at room temperature. $Al_2O_3/YAG/ZrO_2$ternary eutectic fiber showed excellent thermal stability to $1200^{\circ}C$ without significant decrease. The maximum strength of ternary eutectic fibers recorded were 1100MPa at $25^{\circ}C$ and 970MPa at $1200^{\circ}C$, respectively.

This study reports the improvement of mechanical properties of Al₂O₃ porous ceramics from colloidal suspension with the addition of carbon fiber by direct foaming. The initial colloidal suspension of Al₂O₃ was partially hydrophobized by surfactant to stabilize wet foam with the addition of carbon fiber from 2 to 8 wt% as stabilizer. The influence of carbon fiber on the air content, bubble size, pore size and pore distribution in terms of wet foam stability and physical properties of porous ceramics were discussed. The viscosity of the colloidal suspension was increased giving solid like properties with the increased in carbon fiber content. The mechanical properties of the sintered porous samples were investigated by Hertzian indentation test. The results show the wet foam stability of more than 90% corresponds to compressive loading of 156.48 N and elastic modulus of 57.44 MPa of sintered sample with 8 wt% of carbon fiber content.

In this work, strength of ceramic fibers and monofilament composites were evaluated on the basis of Weibull's theory. The fibers used were β-SiC and γ-Al2O3 monofilament composites was fabricated by coating Al on the fiber surface by the use of vacuum evaporation method. Average tensile strength of ceramic fibers showed the tendency to linearly decrease with increasing gauge length. Also, Weibull moduli of ceramic fibers were decreased with increasing gauge length, Weibull modulus of β-SiC was 3.5 for 6-50mm, 2.8 for 100-200mm. Weibull modulus of γ-Al2O3 was 6.5 for 20-50mm, 6 for 100mm. Fibers in monofilament retained their original as-produced strength to exposure temperature of 400℃. However, tensile strength of both monofilament composites approved to remarkably degrade due to interfacial reaction-induced flaws on the fiber surface after thermal exposure of 600℃. In this case, Weibull modulus of monofilament composites was 2.7 for β-SiC and 5.2 for γ-Al2O3 respectively.

In this paper, the fracture toughness and mechanisms of failure in a random SiC-whisker/$Al_{2}O_3$ ceramic composite were investigated using in situ observations during mode I(opening) loading. $SiC_{w}/Al_{2}O_3$ composite was obtained by hot press sintering of $Al_{2}O_3$ powder and SiC whisker as the matrix and reinforcement, respectively. The whisker and powder were mixed using a turbo mill. The composite was produced at SiC whisker volume fraction of $0.3\%$. Compared with monolithic $Al_{2}O_3$, fracture toughness enhancement was observed in $SiC_{w}/Al_{2}O_3$ composite. This improved fracture toughness was attributed to SiC whisker bridging and crack deflection. $SiC_{w}/Al_{2}O_3$ composite exhibited typically brittle fracture behavior, but a fracture process zone was observed in this composite. This means that the load versus load-line displacement curve of $SiC_{w}/Al_{2}O_3$ composite from a fracture test may involve a small non-linear region near the peak load.

Micro-pulling down법을 이용하여 $Al_2O_3/ZrO_2$eutectic fiber를 제조하여 그 미세구조 및 기계적 특성과 성장속도의 관계를 조사하였다. 성장속도는 0.1~15 mm/min였으며, 직경 0.2~2 mm, 길이 500 mm의 eutectic fiber를 제조하였다. $Al_2O_3/ZrO_2$eutectic fiber의 미세구조는 성장속도에 따라 rod-shape structure에서 lameller structure를 거쳐 lamellar pattern을 갖는 cellular structure로 변화하였다. lamellar thickness는 성장속도가 1 mm/min에서 15 mm/min로 증가함에 따라 380 nm에서 110 nm로 감소하였다. 이와 같은 성장속도에 따른 lamellar thickness의 감소경향은 inverse-square-root로 나타내면, = 1 -l/2와 같이 표현할 수 있다. 여기서 는 m, 는 m/s의 단위를 갖는다. 13.1 Gpa의 hardness, 900 Mpa의 상온인장강도를 나타냈으며, 성장속도의 증가 즉, interlamellar spacing이 감소함에 따라 증가하는 경향을 나타냈다.

본 연구는 섬유/입자 혼합금속복합재료의 강화기구를 분석하는 이론적 해석방법을 제시하였다. 혼합금속복합재료의 인장강도 및 탄성계수는 같은 보강재의 부피분율 가진 단섬유복합재료에 비해서 강도가 최대 20%까지 증가한다. 이러한 증가효과는 본 연구에서 새로이 제안된 클러스터 모델을 도입한 후 이에 따른 강화효과를 Modified Rule of Mixture을 적용하여 분석하였다. 해석결과 클러터구조는 인장강도에 대해서 섬유의 효율을 탄성계수에 대해서는 배향인자를 증가시키는 것으로 나타났다. 이론적 해석 결과는 $Al_2O_3$섬유/입자 예비성형체에 AC8A를 침투시켜 제조한 금속복합재료에 대한 실험결과와 비교되었으며 이를 통해 해석이론이 타당함을 확인하였다.

용융탄산염 연료전지(Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell)용 알루미나 화이버 강화 ${\gamma}$-LiAlO2 매트릭스의 적층방법에 따른 미세구조 변화 및 강도 증진 효과에 대하여 연구하였다. 테이프 캐스팅법으로 제조한 green sheet 2장을 45$^{\circ}C$에서 1kg/$ extrm{cm}^2$의 압력으로 1분간 hot pressing 하여 제조한 적층 매트릭스와 double casting 시 1단계 캐스팅한 green sheet를 3.5 시간 정도 건조한 뒤 2 단계 캐스팅 하여 제조한 적층 매트릭스의 기공율은 모두 50% 이상이었다. 알루미나 화이버 강화 적층 매트릭스의 강도는 비적층 매트릭스(115gf/$ extrm{mm}^2$)에 비해 70% 이상 증진되었으며 적층에 의해 화이버 배향성에 따른 강도의 편향성을 제거할 수 있었다. Triple casting에 의한 적층 메트릭스의 강도는 double casting 시에 비해 약간 증진되었으나 캐스팅 방향에 따른 강도의 편향성이 존재할 뿐만 아니라 기공율도 50% 이하였다. Double casting에 의한 적층 매트릭스의 강도 (195 gf/$\textrm{mm}^2$)는 hot pressing 하여 제조한 매트릭스 (212gf/$\textrm{mm}^2$)에 비해 약간 낮지만 MCFC 매트릭스 제조공정 면에서 double casting 법이 효율적인 적층공정으로 평가되었다.

The hybrid composite material (Al/GFRP laminates) are applied to the fuselage and wing in a aircraft. Therefore, Al/GFRP laminates suffer from the cyclic bending moments. This study was to evaluate the effect of fiber stacking angle on the fatigue crack propagation and delamination behavior using the relationship between crack growth rate (da/dN) and stress intensity factor range (ΔK) in Al/GFRP laminates under cyclic bending moment. The variable delamination growth behavior in case of three different type of fiber orientations, i.e., [Al/O$_2$/Al], [Al/+45$_2$/Al] and [Al/90$_2$/Al] at the interface of Al layer and glass fiber layer was measured by ultrasonic C-scan images. As results of this study, It represent that the delamination shape should turns out to have more effective characteristics on the fiber stacking angle. The extension of the delamination zone in case of [Al/+45$_2$/Al] and [Al/90$_2$/Al] were not formed along the fatigue crack profile. The shape of delamination zone depend on fiber stacking angle and the variable type with the delamination contour decreased non-linearly toward the crack tip at the Al layer.

The Mg-PSZ/$Al_2O_3$ fibers were fabricated by the sol-gel method. The added $Al_2O_3$ amounts were varied from 5 to 20 mol%. The phase transformation studies of a drawn Mg-PSZ/$Al_2O_3$ fibers were investigated by use of X-ray diffraction, IR and Raman spectroscopy. Microstructure and tensile strength of fibers were subjected to scanning electron microscopy and tensile strength tester. When $Al_2O_3$ was added to the Mg-PSZ fibers, it was found out from the analysis of XRD patterns and Raman spectra that a small amount of crystalline spinel($MgAl_2O_4$) started to form due to the reaction between $Al_2O_3$ and MgO, at $1000^{\circ}C$, and the phase transformation temperature of $ZrO_2$ crystal phase at different sintering temperatures increased. Also, the rapid grain growth with average size of 2.0 ${\mu}m$ shown in Mg-PSZ fiber at $1500^{\circ}C$ was considerably suppressed to 0.39 ${\mu}m$ by adding $Al_2O_3$ at the same temperature. When the Mg-PSZ/$Al_2O_3$ fibers containing 5 mol% $Al_2O_3$ were sintered $800^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr, average tensile strength of fibers was 0.9 GPs at diameters of 20 to 30 ${\mu}m$, but as the sintering temperatures was increased to $1000^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr, average tensile strength of fibers increased to 1.2 GPa in the same diameter range.
