하동고령토($Al_2O_3-SiC-C$)를 출발원료로하여 AlSiCa내화재 원료를 합성하였다. 하동고령토와 탄소분말을 혼합하여 수소분위기하에서 반응시킨결과, $1300^{\circ}C$에서$Al_2O_3-SiC-C$ 복합체가 힙성되기 시작하여$1400^{\circ}C$에서 완전 합성되었고, $SiO_2$에 대한 최적carbon량은 mole비로 1:4이었다. 합성시 알루미나 용기에 탄소분말을 충전시키지 않을 때는 미합성부분이 없이 밝은 녹색을 띈 $\beta$-SiC(cubic form) 를 형성함을 확인하였다.

Particulate composites of Al2O3/SiC, Al2O3/ZrO2 and Al2O3/ZrO2/SiC have been fabricated to investigate their R-curve behaviors and toughening mechanisms. Al2O3 containing 30 vol% SiC particles of 3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ showed rising R-curve behavior owing to the strong crack bridging by SiC particles. The fracture toughness reached 9.1 MPa {{{{ SQRT {m} }} at the crack length of 1000${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. On the other hand, ZrO2-toughened Al2O3 had a high flat R-curve since it rose steeply in the short crack region due to the well known transformation toughening. For Al2O3/ZrO2/SiC composites, the R-curve behavior was similar to that of Al2O3/SiC but with slightly higher toughness. The SiC particles in this composite decreased the amount of transformable tetragonal phase to reduce the effect of transformation toughening by 50%. It was also found that the fracture toughness of this composite with two different toughening mechanisms was markedly lower than that estimated by the simple addition of two contributions.

Al2O3-coated SiC composite powder and mechanically mixed Al2O3-SiC composite powder were synthesized using Al-isopropoxide and commercial SiC as the starting materials. Experiment results showed that the sinterability of Al2O3-coated SiC composite powder was more improved than the mechanically mixed Al2O3-SiC composite powder by the effect of homogeneous coating of alumina around SiC particles. Hence, the mechanical properties of the former was also much more improved than the latter.

Dispersed type Al2O3-SiC composite powders were synthesized from Al-isopropoxide (Al(i-OC3H7)3) and Si(OC2H5)4 precursors by hydrolysis of mixed alkoxides and carbothermal reaction method. The characteristics of the synthesized (dispersed type) Al2O3-SiC composite powders were investigated using XRD, SEM, TEM, BET and particle size analyzer. Carbothermal reaction to produce Al2O3-SiC composite was completed in 10h at 135$0^{\circ}C$ on 3~4㎤/s (0.21~0.28cm/s) of H2 flow rate and about 1/1 of carbon/oxides(=SiO2＋Al2O3) molar ratio. The synthesized powders were observed to have the mean particle size range of 0.4~1.26${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and showed finer particle size with increasing SiC content.

${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$와 비정질 SiO2부터 Mullite를 합성하기 위한 고체상태반응의 반응속도를 1450~$1480^{\circ}C$ 온도 범위에서 연구하였다. 반응속도는 $Al_2O_3$분말을 코팅한 28.16wt%의 $SiO_2$와 일정한 온도에서 여러 시간동안 가열하여 생성된 혼합물에 의하여 결정되었다. MgO안의 반응물과 미반응물의 양은 X-선 회절분석에 의하여 결정되었다. Mullite의 부피율과 peak intensity 비의 자료로부터 $Al_2O_3$와 $SiO_2$의 $3Al_2O_3\;{\cdot}\;2SiO_2$형태로의 반응은 $1450^{\circ}C$와 $1480^{\circ}C$ 사이에서 시작되었다. 고체상태반응 활성화 에너지는 Arrhenius 식에 의하여 결정되었다. 활성화 에너지는 31.9KJ/mol이다.

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.

방전 플라즈마 소결법을 적용하여 $Al_2O_3$-SiC 나노 복합체를 150$0^{\circ}C$ 이하의 온도에서 완전치밀화를 이루었다. 제조된 $Al_2O_3$-SiC 복합체는 이상 결정립 성장 없이 매우 균질한 미세구조를 형성하고 있는데, 첨가된 SiC 입자는 주로 결정립 내 및 결정립계에 존재하면서 $Al_2O_3$기지상에서 결정립 성장을 억제하는데 매우 유호하였음을 확인 할 수 있다. 한편, SiC 입자의 첨가는 크랙 회절 및 브릿징 등에 의해서 유도된 재료 강도 및 인성 강화 기구에 의해서 $Al_2O_3$-SiC 복합체의 기계적 물성을 크게 향상시켰다.

Al2O3/SiC nanocomposites are fabricated through intensive ball milling to mix fine SiC particles uniformly with the Al2O3 powder. Another role of milling is to reduce particle sizes by crushing particles as well as agglomerates. However, balls are worn during ball milling and the sample powder mixtures pick up to weight loss of the balls. In this study, pressureless sintering was performed to obtain Al2O3/SiC nanocomposites. It was found that the wear rate of zirconia balls during milling was considerable, and the zirconia addition after even a few hours of ball milling could increase the sintering rates of the nanocomposites significantly. Thus, addition of ZrO2 changed the sintering behaviors as well as mechanical properties of Al2O3/SiC nanocomposites.

2wt% Al2O3와 10wt% Al2O3를 첨가하여 2000℃와 2050℃에서 가압소결된 SiC를 37 mol% NaCl과 63 mol% Na2SO4 Salt에 의해 60분까지 hot corrosion을 시켰다. 부식은 SiC표면에 형성된 SiO2층이 Na2O 이온에 의한 basic dissolution에 이해 일어남이 관찰되었고 10wt%의 Al2O3가 함유된 시편은 입계에 Al2O3를 함유한 입계상의 존재로 2wt% Al2O3가 함유된 시편보다 낮은 corrosion rate를 나타냈다. SiC와 산화물층 사이에서 gas bubble의 형성이 관찰되었고 이 gas bubble이 산화물층을 심하게 파괴하기 전까지 corrosion rate은 linear하게 변했다. 부식 양상은 개기공과 입계에서 pitting corrosion에 의해 시작되었다.

Al2O3/metal composites were fabricated by oxidation and reaction of molten Al-alloy into two types of commercial Al2O3-SiO2 fibrous insulation board. The growth rate, composition and microstructure of these materials were described. An AlZnMg(7075) alloy was selected as a parent alloy. Mixed polycrystalline fiber and glass phase fiber were used as a filler. The growth surface of an alloy was covered with and without SiO2. SiO2 powder was employed as a surface dopant to aid initial oxidation of Al-alloy. Al-alloy, SiO2, fiber block and growth inhibitor CaSiO3 were packed sequentially in a alumina crucible and oxidized in air at temperature range 90$0^{\circ}C$ to 120$0^{\circ}C$. The growth rate of composite layer was calculated by measuring the mass increasement(g) per unit surface($\textrm{cm}^2$). XRD and optical microscope were used to investigate the composition and phase of composites. The composite grown at 120$0^{\circ}C$ and with SiO2 dopant showed rapid growth rate. The growth behavior differed a little depending on the types of fiber used. The composites consist of $\alpha$-Al2O3, Al, Si and pore. The composite grown at 100$0^{\circ}C$ exhibited better microstructure compared to that grown at 120$0^{\circ}C$.
