Si3N4(p)-SiC(p) composites were prepared by gas pressure sintering at 190$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. $\alpha$-SiC with average particle size of 0.48${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ were dispersed from zero to 50vol% in $\alpha$-Si3N4 with average particle size of 0.5${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Y2O3-Al2O3 system was used as sintering aids. When 10vol% of SiC was added to Si3N4, optimum mechanical properties were observed; relative density of 98.8%, flextural strength of 930MPa, fracture toughness of 5.9MPa.m1/2 and hardness value of 1429kg/$\textrm{mm}^2$. Grain growth of $\beta$-Si3N4 was inhibited as the amount of added SiC was increased. SiC particles were found inside the $\beta$-Si3N4 intragrains in case of 10, 20 and 30vol%SiC added composites.

$Si_{3}N_{4}$-BN계 기계 가공서 세라믹스를 $1800^{\circ}C$에서 2시간동안 25MPa의 압력하에서 열간 가압소결하여 제조하였다. $Si_{3}N_{4}$ 매트릭스에 판상의 h-BN 첨가량을 5-30 vol%까지 증가함에 따라 굽힘강도는 $Si_{3}N_{4}$ 단미의 1000 MPa에서 720~400 MPa로 감소하였고, 파괴인성도 $Si_{3}N_{4}$ 단미의 7.6MPaㆍ$m^{1/2}$에서 6.5~4.1 MPaㆍ$m^{1/2}$로 감소하였다. $\beta$-$Si_{3}N_{4}$의 결정립 크기와 형상비는 h-BN 첨가에 의해 약간 감소하였다. $Si_{3}N_{4}$ 단미는 절삭시 취성 파괴를 나타내어 절삭이 불가능하였으나, $Si_{3}N_{4}$-BN계 기계 가공서 세라믹스는 파괴가 발생하지 않으면서 절삭이 가능하여, 우수한 기계 가공성을 나타내었다. h-BN 함량이 증가할수록 절삭과 마이크로 드릴링시의 절삭력은 감소하였다.

Generally, ceramics are very difficult-to-cut materials because of its high strength and hardness. The machining process of ceramics can be characterized by cracking and brittle fracture. In the machining of ceramics, edge chipping and crack propagation are the principal reasons to cause surface integrity deterioration. Such phenomenon can cause not only poor dimensional and geometric accuracy, but also possible failure of the ceramic parts. Ceramics can be machined with traditional method such as grinding and polishing. However, such processes are generally cost-expensive and have low material removal rate. Thus, in this paper, to overcome these problems. BN powder, which gives good cutting property, is added for the fabrication of machinable ceramics by volume of 5,10,15,20,25 and 30%. And, mechanical properties, R-curve behavior and machining tests are carried out to evaluate the machining properties of the manufactured machinable ceramics.

The effects of the ${\beta}-Si_3N_4$ starting particle size and $\alpha$/$\beta$ phase transformation during sintering process on the microstructure evolution of Yttrium $\alpha$-Sialon ceramics were investigated. As-received ${\beta}-Si_3N_4$ powder (mean particle size: 0.54$\mu$m) and classified ${\beta}-Si_3N_4$ powder(mean particle size: $0.26\mu{m}$) were used as starting powders. With decreasing the starting particle size, the growth of elongated grains was enhanced, which resulted in the whisker -like microstructure with elongated grains. These results were discussed in relation to the two-dimensional nucleation and growth theory. In the specimen heat treated at $1600^{\circ}C$ for 10h before sintering at $1950^{\circ}C$for 1h under 40atm(2-step sintering), the grain size was smaller than of the 1-step sintering at 195$0^{\circ}C$ for 1h. However, bimodal microstructure evolution were not not remarkable in both sample, which is ascribed to the $\alpha$-phase contents existing in ${\beta}-Si_3N_4$ starting powder.

본 연구는 $SiO_2$ 나노 콜로이드 첨가량에 따르는 $Si_3N_4$ 세라믹스의 마멸 특성을 평가하였다. 시험 편은 35 MPa, 2123 K의 질소 가스 분위기 1시간동안 소결하였다. 마멸 시험은 링 블록 시험기를 사용 하였으며, 시험 조건은 직경 35 mm인 링의 회전속도50 rpm, 하중 9.8 N, 실험중의 대기 온도 293 K이 었다. 세라믹스의 마멸계수는 약 1.0, 마멸손실은 약 0.02 mm이었다. 본 연구에 사용된 시험편 중에서 1.3 wt% $SiO_2$ 나노 콜로이드가 첨가된 시험편은 가장 낮은 마멸계수와 마멸 손실을 나타내어, 최상의 마멸 저항성을 나타내었다. 이것은 가장 높은 비커스 경도와 굽힘 강도를 나타내었다. 마멸계수는 경도 와 굽힘 강도에 역비례 관계를 보였다.

This work will report a highly textured ${\beta}-Si_3N_4$ ceramic by aqueous slip casting in a magnetic field and subsequent pressureless sintering, Effects of the sintering aids, polymer dispersant, pH and stirring time on the stability of the $Si_3N_4$ slurries were studied. The textured ${\beta}-Si_3N_4$ with 97 % relative density could be obtained by slip casting in a magnetic field of 12 T and subsequent sintering at $1800^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. The textured microstructure is featured by the alignment of c-axis of ${\beta}-Si_3N_4$ crystals perpendicular to the magnetic field, and the Lotgering orientation factor, f, is determined to be 0.8.

Silicon nitride($Si_3N_4)$ is one of the most widely used structural ceramic materials. However silicon nitride is difficult to sinter because of its strong covalent bonding characteristics. In this study, $Si_3N_4$ ceramics were fabricated by spark plasma sintering process with $Y_2O_3$ and $Al_2O_3$ addition to improve the sinterability and the mechanical properties and their phase transformation behavior, microstructure and mechanical properties were evaluated. Fully densified $Si_3N_4$ ceramics could be obtained by spark plasma sintering process at a lower temperature than conventional sintering method. The formation of network microstructure was affected by the addition of $Al_2O_3$ because it could accelerate a to ${\alpha}$ to ${\beta}$ phase transformation of $Si_3N_4$. As a result, the mechanical properties depended on amounts of $Al_2O_3$ addition. The hardness value increased with increasing ${\alpha}$-phase fraction, but fracture toughness value increase with increasing ${\beta}$-phase fraction.

To investigate the microcrack healing behavior of $Si_3N_4-20wt\%SiC-8wt\%Y_2O_3$ composite ceramics(SNCY8), we observe the crack length evolution a! the time of 20, 40, 60 minutes with in-situ optical microscopy by varying healing temperature of $800\~1200^{\circ}C$. Crack healing obviously occurred as heating temperature and time increased. We proposed a simple model of effective diffusion based on the crack length evolution with healing condition, and determined the effective diffusion coefficient as Our result implies that we may predict the healing ability quantitatively with temperature and time in structural ceramics through the effective diffusion coefficient model.

The effect of bedding on the microstructure of $Si_3N_4$ added with ultra-fine SiC was investigated. The bedding and the addition of ultra-fine SiC effectively inhibited grain growth of $Si_3N_4$ matrix grain. The microstructures of the specimens sintered with bedding powder consisted of fine-grains as compared with the specimens sintered without bedding powder. In addition, the grain size and the difference of grain size between the specimens sintered with bedding and without bedding was reduced with increasing SiC content. Some ultra-fine SiC particles were trapped in the $Si_3N_4$ grains growed. The number of SiC particles trapped in the $Si_3N_4$ grains increased with increasing the grain growth. When ultra-fine SiC particles were added in the $Si_3N_4$ ceramics, the strength was improved but the toughness was decreased, which was considered to be resulted from the decrease of the grain size.
