Si3N4-TiC composites have been known as electrically conductive ceramics. $Si_3N_4-TiC$ composites with 2 wt% $Al_2O_3$ and 4 wt% $Y_2O_3$ were hot pressed in $N_2$ environment. The mechanical properties including hardness, fracture toughness, and flexural strength and tribological properties were investigated as a function of TiC content. $Si_3N_4-40$ vol% TiC composite was hot pressed at $1,750^{\circ}C$, $1,800^{\circ}C$, and $1,850^{\circ}C$ for 1, 3 and 5 hours in $N_2$ gas. Mechanical and tribolgical properties depended on microstructures, which were controlled by hte TiC content, hot press temperature, and hot press holding time. However, mechanical properties and tribological behaviors were degraded by the chemical reaction between TiC and N. The chemically reacted products such as TiCN, SiC, and $SiO_2$ were detered by the X-ray diffraction analysis.

Electrical discharge machinable $Si_3N_4$ was fabricated with the addtion of 20-60 vol% TiN by gas pressure sintering. Their sinterability, microstructure, mechanical and electrical properties were characterized as a function of the TiN content. The addition of TiN up to 20 vol% increased the flexural strength and fracture toughness as compared with those of the monolithic Si3N4. For the TiN content higher than 40 vol%, the electrical resistivity was lower than $1062\Omega$.cm. The $Si_3N_4$ with the addition of 40 vol% of TiN appears to have the optimum considerable sinterability, mechanical and electrical properties, and machinability. A microstructural analysis showed that the enhanced toughening was due to the crack deflection.

많은 연구결과들은 국부적 용융체의 존재가 고온인장 변형 시 발생하는 내부공극의 발달을 억제할 수 있음을 보고하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 국부적 용융체가 존재한다고 해서 반드시 고변형속도 초소성 현상이 관찰될 수 있는 것은 아니다. 금속기지와 보강재간의 계면에 국부적 용융체의 양이 너무 많이 존재하면 두상간의 결합력이 떨어져 금속기지상으로부터 보강재가 분리되는 현상이 야기될 수 있기 때문이다. 그러므로, $Si_3$$N_{4p}$ 2124 Al 복합재의 초소성 유동 특성을 이해하기 위해 변형온도에 따른 미세구조 변화와 계면특성을 조사하였다. 본 연구를 룽해 $Si_3$$N_{4p}$ 2124 Al 복합재에서 Al-기지와 $Si_3$$N_{4p}$ 강화상간의 계면상의 국부적 용융이 시작되는 온도부근에서는 큰 초소성 특성이 얻어지지만, 국부적 용융이 시작되는 온도를 지난 인장온도범위에서는 오히려 초소성 특성이 현저하게 저하되는 현상이 관찰되었다. 위의 실험결과는 $Si_3$$N_{4p}$ 2124 Al복합재의 고변형속도 초소성 거동에 기여하는 최적의 액상량이 존재한다는 것을 의미한다.

SiC-Si3N4 composites were prepared by mixing $\alpha$-Si3N4 powder to $\alpha$-SiC powder in the range of 10 to 30 vol% with 10vol% interval. 6wg% Al2O3 and 6wt% Y2O3 were respectively added as sintering aids. Hot pressing was performed at 1,80$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour with 25 MPa pressure. In the case of adding 20vol% of $\alpha$-Si3N4 powder the relative density to theoretical value and the flexural strength were 99.1% and 34,420 MPa respectively and the worn amount was 2.09$\times$10-3 mm2 which were the highest values in the all range of he composition. Although the composite containig 10 vol% of $\alpha$-Si3N4 powder showed the highest fracture toughness(KIC) of 4.65MN/m3/2 the reduction of the wear resistance in this composite is likely to be affected by the homogeneity and the uniformity of the grain coalescence and growth during the sintering process.

Wear behaviors of unidirectionally oriented $Si_3N_{4w)/Si_3N_4$ composites, sintered at different temperatures with different alignments of whiskers, have been studied in parallel and perpendicular sliding directions with respect to the orientation of the whiskers by using a ball-on-disk reciprocating sliding apparatus. The results show that wear rate in parallel direction is much greater than that in perpendicular direction. With decreasing alignment of the whiskers, the wear rate decreases in parallel sliding direction and increases in perpendicular direction. With increasing sintering temperature, the wear rate increases obviously in both parallel and perpendicular directions.

본 연구에서는 질화규소에 지르코니아 첨가량에 따른 효과를 조사하였다. 0 wt%~40 wt%의 지르코니아를 포함하는 세라믹 복합체 재료를 토대로 하는 질화규소를 $1750^{\circ}C$에서 172 MPa의 질소가스압으로 한 시간동안 유지하는 조건으로 hot isostatic pressing (HIP)하였다. 소결된 시편의 기계적 특성과 마모 특성을 조사하였다. 질화 규소-지르코니아 복합체는 지르코니아 양이 증가함에 따라 경도와 굽힘강도는 감소하였으나 밀도는 증가하였다. 그리고, 지르코니아 첨가량이 증가함에 따른 공기 중에서의 마모량은 감소하였으며, 공기 중에서의 마모 거동은 microcracking에 유관하였다.

α/β sialon based composites containing silicon nitride whisker and silicon carbide platelet were fabricated by hot pressing. Effect of the reinforcing agents on the α to β phase transformation of the sialon as well as on the mechanical properties was investigated. Silicon nitride whisker and silicon carbide platelet promoted the phse transformation. TEM/EDS analysis revealed that the grain containing the whisker had 'core-rim' structure; core being high purity Si3N4 whisker and rim being β-sialon. Flexural strength of the composite decreased with the reinforcement addition which, on the other hand, improved fracture toughness of it. High temperature strength was measured at 1300℃ to be about 130 MPa lower than that measured at RT for the whisker reinforced composites.

Composites of Si$_3$N$_4$-SiC containing up to 30 wt% of dispersed SiC particles were fabricated via hot-pressing with an oxynitride glass. To determine the effect of sintering time and SiC content on the mechanical properties and the cutting performance, the composites with fixed 8hr-sintering time and 20 wt% SiC content were fabricated and tested. Fracture toughness of the composites increased with increasing sintering time, while the hardness increased as the SiC content increased up to 20 wt%. The hardness of the composites was relatively independent of the grain size and the sintered density. For machining heat-treated AISI4140, the insert with 20 wt% SiC sintered for 8hr showed the longest tool life while the insert with 20 wt% SiC sintered for 12hr showed the longest tool life for machining gray cast iron. An effort was made to relate the mechanical properties, such as hardness, fracture toughness and wear resistance coefficient with the tool life. However, no apparent relationship was found between them. It may be stated that tool life is affected by not only the mechanical properties but also other properties such as surface roughness, density, grian size and the number of the inherent defects in the inserts.
