ZrO2, B2O3 및 AI을 사용하여 SHS법에 의한 붕화지르코늄을 합성을 하고 산화철과 알루미늄 분말의 첨가가 합성물의 치밀화에 미치는 영향에 대하여 검토하였다. 합성물중에 존재하는 결정상은 대부분이 ZrB2와 $\alpha$-AI2O3상이었다. 산화붕소와 알루미늄의 몰비가 1.0:3.3이상일 때 합성물의 치밀화는 크게 증가하였고, ZrB2 입자도$\alpha$-AI2O3용융상과 더불어 조대하였다. 산화철 1목에 대하여 알루미늄을 1-3몰을 첨가한 것과 산화철 1.5몰에 대하여 알루미늄을 3몰 첨가시 $\alpha$-AI2O3를 중심으로하는 슬라그상으로부터 용융상의 분이가 가능하였고, 이들 용융상에 존재하는 결정상은 ZrB2이외에 Fe, Fe2B, Zr2Fe상이었다. 용융상의 상대밀도는 산화철 1몰에 대하여 알루미늄을 1몰 첨가시 83.2%인 반면에 그 이상의 첨가량에 대해서는 치밀화는 크게 증가하여 알루미늄을 3몰 첨가한 경우 상대밀도는 93.7%로서 최대를 나타내었다.

In the present study, the effect of TiB2 addition on the sintering behavior of ZrB2 ceramics was studied with hot pressing under Ar atmosphere. Hot pressing experiments were carried out in graphite dies at the 1$700^{\circ}C$, 180$0^{\circ}C$ under Ar atmosphere. The sintering density increased with increasing TiB2 contents. With the addition of 10wt% TiB2 almost theoretical density could be achieved by hot-pressing at 180$0^{\circ}C$. Zr-Ti-Fe-B compound in liquid phase was observed from the EDS and WDS analysis. It was considered that sinterability was enhanced due to the mass transfer through liquid phase formed at the sintering temperature. In addition of TiB2, transition metal of groups IV, substitutional solid solution could be formed.

In the present study the effect of the addition of Fe on the pressureless and hot press sintering behavior was studied under Ar atmosphere. Pressureless sintering was performed 1900~220$0^{\circ}C$ under. Ar atmosphere. The addition of 1 wt% Fe was increased effectively of the sintered density. However it was impossible to obtain high density higher than 90%,. Zr-Fe-B compound in liquid phase was observed from the EDS and WDS analysis. It was considered that sinterability was enhanced due to the mass transfer through Fe based liquid phase formed at the sintering temperature. Hot pressing was performed at 1600~1$700^{\circ}C$ under Ar atmos-phere for 1 hr. It was possible obtain 95% relative density of ZrB2 specimen which is higher density at pressure-less sintering. It could be thought that ZrB2 particles was rearranged through liquid phase by applied pressure during initial stage of sintering.

$ZrB_2$ has a melting temperature of $3245^{\circ}C$ and a low density of $6.1\;g/cm^3$, which makes this a candidate for application to ultra-high temperature over $2000^{\circ}C$. Beside these properties, $ZrB_2$ has excellent resistance to thermal shock and oxidation compared with other non-oxide engineering ceramics. This paper reviewed briefly 2 research examples, which are related to densification and properties of $ZrB_2$-based ceramics for ultra-high temperature applications. In the first section, the effect of $B_4C$ addition on the densification and properties of $ZrB_2$-based ceramics is shown. $ZrB_2$-20 vol.% SiC system was selected as a basic composition and $B_4C$ or C was added to this system in some extents. With sintered bodies, densification behavior and hightemperature (up to $1400^{\circ}C$) properties such as bending strength and hardness are examined. In the second section, the effect of the SiC size on the microstructures and physical properties is shown. $ZrB_2$-SiC ceramics are fabricated by using various SiC sources in order to investigate the grain-growth inhibition and the mechanical/thermal properties of $ZrB_2$-SiC.
