SiC ultrafine particles of 1, 10, 20 and 30 vol% were dispersed in $\alpha$-Si3N4 matrix and hot-pressed under the condition of 30 MPa at 1800 and 190$0^{\circ}C$ respectively. Physical, mechanical properties and microstructures of sintered Si3N4-SiC nanocomposites were investigated. Flexural strength and density of Si3N4-10 vol% SiC nanocomposites hot-pressed at 190$0^{\circ}C$ represented the 1002 MPa and 97.9%T.D respectively, and it was confirmed as a remarkable improvement of 67% compared to Si3N4 monolith. Fracture toughness was shown as 7.2 MPa.m1/2 when the same composition was hot pressed at 180$0^{\circ}C$. This effect was supposed to be due to the improvement of microstructure by the adequate suppression of the excessive growth of Si3N4 grain with SiC nano-particles.

$Si_{3}N_{4}$에 평균입경이 다른 SiC 분말을 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 vol% 첨가하여 고온가압소결법으로 초미립복합재료를 제조하였다. SiC의 첨가량에 따라 $Si_{3}N_{4}$의 결정립성장이 억제되어 원형의 미세한 결정립들이 많아졌다. 이러한 경향은 평균입경이 작은 SiC를 사용한 조성에서 현저하게 나타났다. 이에 따라 파괴강도와 경도는 작은 SiC를 첨가한 시편에서 높은 값을 나타냈으며, 파괴인성은 낮았다.

Si3N4/SiC nanocomposite ceramics containing 5 wt%dispersed SiC particles were prepared by gas-pressure-sintering at 200$0^{\circ}C$ under nitrogen atmosphere. SiC particles with average sizes of 0.2 and 0.5${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ were used, and the effect of the SiC particle size on the microstructure was investigated. The addition of SiC particles effectively suppressed the growth of the Si3N4 matrix grains. The effect of grain growth inhibition was higher in the nanocomposites dispersed with fine SiC. SiC particles were dispersed uniformly inside Si3N4 matrix grains and on grain boundaries. When the fine SiC particles were added, large fraction of the SiC particles was trapped inside the grains. On the other hand, when the large SiC particles were added, most of the SiC particles were located on grain boundaries. Typically, the fraction of SiC particles located at grain boundaries was higher in the specimen prepared from $\beta$-Si3N4 than in the specimen prepared from $\alpha$-Si3N4.

소결조제로 2 wt % $Al_2O_3$와 6 wt% $Y_2O_3$를 첨가한 $Si_3N_4/20$ vol % SiC 초미립복합 재료의 고온가압소결 중의 미세구조 발현과정을 sintering interruption법으로 관찰하였다. 밀도는 $1500^{\circ}C$와 $1700^{\circ}C$ 사이에서 빠르게 증가하였으며, $1800^{\circ}C$ 에서 이론밀도에 가깝게 치밀화하였다. 질화규소의 상전이 속도는 $1700^{\circ}C$와 $1800^{\circ}C$에서 증가하였으며, 길게 자란 기지상결정립들이 나타났다. 작은 입경의 SiC는 치밀화속도와 기지상 상전이를 억제하는 효과를 보였다.

$Si_{3}N_{4}$에 평균입경이 270 nm인 SiC 분말을 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 vol% 첨가하여 고온 가압소결법으로 $Si_{3}N_{4}/SiC$ 초미립복합재료를 제조하였다. 소결후 기지상인 ${\alpha}-Si_{3}N_{4}$는 ${\beta}-Si_{3}N_{4}$로 상전이하였으며, 이차상인 ${\beta}-SiC$는 변화가 없었다. 소결조제의 첨가에 의한 입계결정상은 검출되지 않았다. SiC의 첨가량이 많아짐에 따라 $Si_{3}N_{4}$ 결정립성장은 억제되어 미세한 결정입이 나타났으며, 작은 임자는 기지상 임내에 큰 SiC는 임계에 존재하였다. SiC 첨가에 따라 파괴강도는 약간 증가후 감소하였으며, 파괴인성은 감소하였고, 경도는 직선적으로 증가하였다.

첨가된 소결조제가 다른 $Si_{3}N_{4}/20$ vol% SiC 초미립복합재료의 파괴강도를 측정하였다. 소결조제로서 6 wt% $Y_{2}O_{3}$와 2 wt% $Al_{2}O_{3}$를 사용한 시편의 실온강도는 높았지만 낮은 입계상의 연화온도에 기인하여 급격한 강도저하가 나타났다. 소결조제로서 8 wt% $Y_{2}O_{3}$만을 사용한 시편의 $1400^{\circ}C$에서의 고온강도가 높았는데 이는 높은 입계상 연화온도와 입계유리상의 결정화에 기인하는 것으로 판단하였다.

Ceramic based nanocomposite, in which nano-sized ceramics and metals were dispersed within matrix grains and/or at grain boundaries, were successfully fabricated in the ceramic/cerarnic and ceramic/metal composite systems such as $Al_2O_3$/SiC, $Al_2O_3$/$Si_3N_4$, MgO/SiC, mullite/SiC, $Si_3N_4/SiC, $Si_3N_4$/B, $Al_2O_3$/W, $Al_2O_3$/Mo, $Al_2O_3$/Ni and $ZrO_2$/Mo systems. In these systems, the ceramiclceramic composites were fabricated from homogeneously mixed powders, powders with thin coatings of the second phases and amorphous precursor composite powders by usual powder metallurgical methods. The ceramiclmetal nanocomposites were prepared by combination of H2 reduction of metal oxides in the early stage of sinterings and usual powder metallurgical processes. The transmission electron microscopic observation for the $Al_2O_3$/SiC nanocomposite indicated that the second phases less than 70nm were mainly located within matrix grains and the larger particles were dispersed at the grain boundaries. The similar observation was also identified for other cerarnic/ceramic and ceramiclmetal nanocornposites. The striking findings in these nanocomposites were that mechanical properties were significantly improved by the nano-sized dispersion from 5 to 10 vol% even at high temperatures. For example, the improvement in hcture strength by 2 to 5 times and in creep resistance by 2 to 4 orders was observed not only for the ceramidceramic nanocomposites but also for the ceramiclmetal nanocomposites with only 5~01%se cond phase. The newly developed silicon nitride/boron nitride nanocomposites, in which nano-sized hexagonal BN particulates with low Young's modulus and fracture strength were dispersed mainly within matrix grains, gave also the strong improvement in fracture strength and thermal shock fracture resistance. In presentation, the process-rnicro/nanostructure-properties relationship will be presented in detail. The special emphasis will be placed on the understanding of the roles of nano-sized dispersions on mechanical properties.

Consolidation of amorphous powders is emerging as a route for synthesis of high strength composite materials. Diffusion processes necessary for consolidation are expected to be more rapid in amorphous state(SRO) than in the crystalline state(LRO). A new synthesis technique of exploiting polymeric ceramic precursors(polysilazane and polyborosilazane) is derived for Si$_3$N$_4$/SiC and boron-modified nanocomposites for extremely high temperature applications up to 200$0^{\circ}C$. The characterization methods include thermal analysis of DTA, and XRD, NMR, TEM, after pyrolysis, as a function of time and temperature.
