In this study, to increase the strength and enhance the sintering property of $Al_2O_3$, $Y_2O_3$ and $La_2O_3$ were added; the effects of these additions on the sintering characteristics of $Al_2O_3$ were observed. Adding 1% of $Y_2O_3$ to $Al_2O_3$ repressed the development of abnormal particles and reduced the grain boundary migration of $Al_2O_3$, curbing pores to capture particles; as such, the material showed a fine microstructure. But, when over 2% of $Y_2O_3$ was added, the sintering property was reduced because of abnormal particle grain growth and pore formation in particles. Adding 1% of $Y_2O_3$ and $La_2O_3$ to $Al_2O_3$ led to the development of abnormal particles and formed pores in the particles; when over 3% of $La_2O_3$ was added, the sintering property was reduced because the shape of the $Al_2O_3$ particles changed to angled plates.

Al2O3와 t-ZrO2 분말의 압분체를 공기중 150$0^{\circ}C$ 및 1$600^{\circ}C$에서 2시간 소결하여 제조된 입자복합체의 미세구조와 기계적 성질을 조사하였다. 소수의 미세한 구상의 ZrO2입자는 Al2O3의 입내에 존재하였으나 대분분은 입계에 존재하여 Al2O3의 입계를 고정시키는 것이 가능하였고, 따라서 Al2O3의 입성장을 둔화시켰다. 소결할 동안 입계 ZrO2 입자의 조대회는 응집된 ZrO2 입자내에서의 입계의 소멸과 Al2P3 입계의 이동에 의해서 끌어 당겨진 ZrO2 입자의 합체(coalescence)에 의해서 일어날 수 있었다. ZrO2의 첨가에 의한 Al2O3의 기계적 성질의 변화는 기지상인 Al2O3의 미세구조와 분산된 ZrO2 입자의 크기와 구조에 의존하였다.

The fabrication of Al2O3/Al composite by pressureless infiltration was investigated by the change of Mg and Si content in Al alloy infiltration process and infiltration atmosphere. The effect of alloying elements infiltration atmosphere and interfacial reactants between Al alloy matrix and Al2O3 particles were in-vestigated in terms of bendingstrength and harness test,. The fabrication of Al2O3/Al composite by the vestigated in terms of bending strength and hardness test. The fabrication of Al2O3/Al composite by the pressureless infiltration was done in nitrogen atmosphere with Mg in Al alloy. It was successfully fabricated at $700^{\circ}C$ according to Mg contents in Al alloy and infiltration condition. Because Mg in the Al alloy and ni-trogen atmosphere of infiltratio condition produced Mg-N compound(Mg3N2) it decreased the wetting an-gle between molten Al alloy and Al2O3 particles by coating on surface of Al2O3 particles. The fracture strength of Al2O3/Al-Mg composite was 800MPa and Al2O3/Al-Si-Mg composite was 400MPa. Si in Al alloy decreased the interfacial strength between Al alloy matrix and Al2O3 particles.

Aluminum alloy 2024 matrix composites reinforced with $Al_2O_3$ particles, were prepared by rheo-compocasting, a process which consists of the incoporation distribution of reinforcement by stirring within a semi-solid alloy. The microstructures and characteristics of the interfaces have been studied using optical microscope and scanning electon microscope in 2024 aluminum alloy composites reinforced with $Al_2O_3$ particles. The main results are as follows: (1) $Al_2O_3$ particles were well distributed in composites by using rheo-compocasting. (2) As the addition of $Al_2O_3$ particle increases, the average dendrite numbers and the hardness were increased. (3) Interaction between $Al_2O_3$ particles and alloy 2024 resulted in the formation of Mg and Cu element rich region around the $Al_2O_3$ particles.

The milling and particulate characteristics of Al alloy-$Al_2O_3$ powder mixtures for a reaction-bonded $Al_2O_3$ (RBAO) process were studied. A commercially available prealloyed Al powder with Zn, Mg, Cu and Cr alloying elements (7475 series) was mixed with a calcined sinter-active $Al_2O_3$ powder and then milled in centrifugal milling equipment for ~48 hrs. The Al alloy-$Al_2O_3$ powder mixtures after milling were characterized and evaluated in various ways to reveal their particulate characteristics during milling. The milling efficiency of the Al alloy increased with a longer milling time. Comminution of the Al alloy particles started with its elongation, showing a high aspect ratio. With a longer milling time, the elongated Al alloy particle changed in terms of its shape and size, becoming equiaxially fine particles. Regardless of the milling efficiency of the Al alloy particles, all of the Al alloy particles repeatedly experienced strong plastic deformation during milling, giving rise to higher density of surface defects, such as microcracks, and leading to higher residual microstress within the Al alloy particles. The chemical reactions, oxidation behavior and hydration behavior of the Al alloy particles and the hydrolysis characteristics of their reaction with the environment were also observed during the milling process and during the subsequent powder handling steps.

${\gamma}-AlO$(OH) 졸 입자 뿐만 아니라 소성처리된 ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ 입자의 표면특성을 ${\gamma}-AlO$(OH) 졸 제조시 숙성단계에 의하여 조절하였다. 연구결과, ${\gamma}-AlO$(OH) 졸 입자의 등전점은 숙성 증가에 따라 pH 9.25에서 pH 8.70까지 감소하였으며 ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ 입자의 경우는 pH 9.90에서 pH 8.86까지 감소하였다. 숙성에 따른 ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ 입자의 산, 염기 특성을 고찰한 결과, ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ 입자의 산량은 숙성시간의 증가에 따라 0.1367 mmol/g에서 0.0783 mmol/g까지 감소하였으며, Hammett 산성도함수 $H_o$는 4.8 이상의 산세기를 보였다. 한편 ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ 입자의 염기량은 숙성시간의 증가에 따라 0.4399 mmol/g에서 0.3074 mmol/g 까지 감소하였다. 따라서 졸-겔법에 의한 ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ 제조시 숙성공정이 산, 염기점의 양을 포함한 표면특성을 조절할 수 있는 중요 공정변수임을 제시하였다.

The objectives of this paper are to examine the effect of nano-particles on the pool type absorption heat transfer enhancement and to find the optimal conditions to design a highly effective compact absorber for ammonia/water absorption system. The effect of $Al_2O_3$ nano-particles and carbon nanotube(CNT) on the absorption performance is studied experimentally. The experimental ranges of the key parameters are 20% of ammonia concentration, $0{\sim}0.08\;vol%$ (volume fraction) of CNT particles, and $0{\sim}0.06 \;vol%$ of $Al_2O_3$ nano-particles. For the ammonia/water nanofluids, the heat transfer rate and absorption rate with 0.02 vol% $Al_2O_3$ nano-particles were found to be 29% and 18% higher than those without nano-particles, respectively. It is recommended that the concentration of 0.02 vol% of $Al_2O_3$ nano-particles be the best candidate for ammonia/water absorption performance enhancement.

The main object of this study is to investigate the effect of Al powder as an additive on the sintering of calcined alumina comparing with that of calcined alumina alone. The degree of Al oxidation is calculated by measuring the weight increase during the firing Water absorption bulk density and compressive strength of the $Al_2O_3+Al$ system at each temperature are compared with those of $Al_2O_4$ alone. The $Al_2O_3+Al$ system shows better physical propeties than Al2O3 alone and it seems by the SEM observation that the fine oxidized Al particles(fine $Al_2O_3$ particles submicron unit) fill the interstices of the original $Al_2O_3$ par-ticles and thus result in the well-close-packed arrangement of the particles.

$Al_2O_3$/TiC/SiC, $Al_2O_3$/SiC 및 $Al_2O_3$/TiC 복합체들을 고온가압소결로 제조하여 이들의 균열저항거동과 기계적 성질을 비교해 보았다. $Al_2O_3$에 $0.8{\mu}m$의 TiC가 30vol% 첨가된 $Al_2O_3$/TiC는 단일체 $Al_2O_3$와 비슷한 균열저항거동을 보이며 파괴인성은 전반적으로 10% 이내의 증가를 보이는데 그쳤지만 강도는 약 30% 증가하였다. $Al_2O_3$에 $3{\mu}m$ SiC가 30vol% 첨가된 $Al_2O_3$/SiC는 SiC 입자의 균열 접속으로 인해 증가하는 균열저항거동을 뚜렷이 보이면서 파괴인성이 긴 균열에서 약 75% 증가하였으나 강도는 다소 감소했다. $Al_2O_3$/TiC에 SiC 입자가 30 vol% 첨가된 $Al_2O_3$/TiC/SiC 복합체의 경우 단일체 $Al_2O_3$에 비해 긴 균열 거리에서 파괴인성이 50% 이상 증가된 6.6 MP${\cdot}\sqrt{m}$에 이르렀으며 강도 값도 약 20% 상승하였다. 그러나 큰 SiC 입자의 첨가로 인해 TiC 입자만 첨가된 $Al_2O_3$/TiC 복합체보다는 강도가 다소 낮았다. 또한 SiC 입자만 첨가된 $Al_2O_3$/SiC 복합체보다는 파괴인성이 다소 낮았는데, 이는 작은 TiC 입자들이 SiC 입계를 거칠게 만들어 균열접속을 일으키는 SiC 입자의 뽑힘 현상을 방해하였기 때문이다.

The powder-in sheath rolling was applied to the fabrication of $Al/Al_2O_3$ composite. A stainless steel tube with outer diameter of 12 mm and wall thickness of 1 mm was used as a sheath. Mixture of aluminum powder and $Al/Al_2O_3$ particles of which volume content was varied from 5 to 20 vol.% was filled in the tube by tap filling and then rolled to 75% reduction at ambient temperature. The re]]ed specimen was sintered at 56$0^{\circ}C$ for 0.5 hr. The $Al/Al_2O_3$ composite fabricated by the sheath rolling and subsequent sintering showed the relative density higher than 0.96. The tensile strength of the composite increased with the volume content of $Al_2O_3$ particles, and it reached a maximum of 90 MPa which is 1.5 times higher than unreinforced material. The elongation decreased with the volume content of $Al_2O_3$ particles. It is concluded that the powder-in sheath rolling is an effective method for fabrication of $Al/Al_2O_3$ composite.
