상압 소결법과 통전활성 소결(Plasma Activated Sintering; PAS)법으로 120$0^{\circ}C$부터 150$0^{\circ}C$의 온도범위에서 제조된 지르코니아의 기계적 특성을 ring on ring disk 굽힘시험으로 비교하여 고찰하였다. 모든 소결온도범위에서 PAS법으로 제조된 소결체의 밀도와 경도는 상압 소결법에 의해 제조된 소결체 보다 높게 나타났다. 결정립의 크기는 두 소결법에 의해 제조된 소결체 모두에서 소결온도 증가에 따라 증가하였으나, PAS법으로 제조된 소결체가 상압 소결법으로 제조된 소결체 보다는 결정립 성장이 억제되었다. 파괴인성은 PAS법으로 제조된 소결체의 경우 130$0^{\circ}C$에서 최고값을 나타낸 후 소결온도 증가에 따라 미세하게 감소하였으며, 상압 소결법으로 제조된 소결체의 경우 소결온도 증가에 따라 증가되었다. 소결체의 상분율 변화는 PAS법으로 제조된 경우 전 온도범위 (1200~150$0^{\circ}C$)에서 정방정상만 관찰되었으며, 상압 소결법의 경우 단사정상과 정방정상의 혼합상을 나타내었고, 소결온도 증가에 따라 정방정상의 비율이 증가하였다. 결과적으로 PAS법의 경우 지르코니아의 최적 소결온도는 130$0^{\circ}C$이며, 상압 소결법의 경우 150$0^{\circ}C$임을 알 수 있었으며, 소결체의 파괴인성에 미치는 영향은 결정립 크기 및 정방정상의 분율임을 확인할 수 있었다.

Al$_2$O$_3$-5 vol% SiC 나노복합재료의 sinter plus HIP에 의한 치밀화시 일어나는 기공의 변화에 초점을 두어 치밀화 거동을 관찰하였다. $Al_2$O$_3$-SiC 시편은 질소분위기 중의 상압소결과 이후의 열간정수압소결(HIP)에 의해 완전치밀화가 이루어졌다. 155$0^{\circ}C$의 상압소결에 의해서는 90%의 비교적 낮은 상대밀도가 얻어졌으나, 기공의 폐기공화로 이후의 열간정수압소결(HIP)에 의해 99.6%의 완전치밀화가 가능하였다. 상압소결한 시편을 X-선 회절기와 주사전자현미경(SEM)으로 관찰한 결과, 선택적으로 시편 표면부에서만 SiAl$_{6}$O$_2$N$_{6}$과 AlN 등으로 이루어진 치밀화된 반응층을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이러한 표면 반응층이 비교적 낮은 상대밀도의 시편내의 모든 기공을 폐기공화하는 효과를 주는 것을 알 수 있었다.

알루미나의 소결시 외부압력이 알루미나의 입자성장에 미치는 영향을 sinter-HIP을 통해 고찰하였다. 알루미나 입자는 HIP 초기에 일정하게 빠른 속도로 성장하였으나 HIP 처리시간이 30분을 경과한 이후에는 완만한 속도로 성장하였다. 상압소결된 알루미나를 HIP 처리시 입자성장 속도지수는 상압소결시와 동일한 n=3을 나타내었으나 알루미나의 입자성장속도는 HIP 처리시의 외부 압력으로 인해 감소하였다. Sinter-HIP 소결시 순수 알루미나와 M햬가 첨가된 알루미나의 경우 계산된 속도상수 k는 대략적으로 각각 9.2×10/sup -20/ ㎥/s, 2.6×10/sup -21/ ㎥/s 이었다.

Densification behavior of $Si_3N_4$ ceramics by two step gas pressure sintering was compared with pres-sureless sintering one step gas pressure sintering or hot isostatic pressing. While it was difficult to get the highly interlocked ${\beta}-Si_3N_4$ microstructure during the pressureless sintering due to decomposition above $1800^{\circ}C$ gas pressure sintering could solve this problem by increasing the densification temperature 2MPa of nitrogen pressure was enough to inhibit the decomposition up to $1890^{\circ}C$ and especially two step gas pres-sure sintering applying comparatively low pressure(2MPa) until the closed pore stage and then high pres-sure(10MPa) after pore closure could increase the hardness and the toughness.

In order to investigate the effect of second phase on $Al_2O_3$ matrix, SiC particles were dispersed in $Al_2O_3$ matrix as a second phase over the content range of 5 vol.% to 20 vol.%. To this mixture, $Y_2O_3$ or $TiO_2$ powders were added as a sintering additive before isostatically pressing and pressurelessly sintering at 180$0^{\circ}C$ for 90 min in $N_2$ atmosphere. With increasing SiC content, relative densities of composites were decreased but mechanical properties of composites were improvjed. In the case of adding $Y_2O_3$ as a sintering additive, maximum values of flexural strength, hardness and fracture toughness were 525 MPa, 17.1 GPa, 4.1 MPa.m1/2 respectively. In the case of adding X$TiO_2$ as a sintering additive, maximum values of flexural strength, hardness were 285 MPa, 12.1 GPa respectively. Improved mechanical properties were found to be the results of grain growth control of $Al_2O_3$ matrix and crack deflection by the second phase SiC particles.

The grain orientation distribution and grain boundary characterization of $ZrB_2$-ZrC composites sintered by a SPS(Spark Plasma Sintering) method, a new sintering technique were analyzed by the EBSP technique and then their crystallographic results have been compared with those of a sintered specimen using a PLS(Pressureless Sintering) method. In the $ZrB_2$-ZrC composite manufactured by SPS, (0001) planes of $ZrB_2$ were oriented in the direction normal to the specimen surface. In the case of PLS, those of $ZrB_2$ were oriented normal to the electron beam. In both cases of PLS and SPS, ZrC grains had the randomly oriented grain structure. The grain boundary characterization showed that low angle grain boundaries in the PLS and SPS processed materials constituted about 10% and 8% of the total number of boundaries, respectively, represented the only slight difference between the proportion of low angle grain boundary. However, in the distribution of CSL(Coincident Site Lattice) boundaries, it was shown the higher proportion of CSL boundaries with $\Sigma$ 3,5,7,9, 11 in the SPS processed material.

Relative density and microstructure of the pressureless sintered TiC-$TiB_2$ composite has been studied. The maximum sintered density was 95% and the critical amounts of sintering aids were 1 wt% Fe and 3 wt% Ni. It was found that TiC matrix phase inhibited effectively grain growth of the dispersed $TiB_2$ phase. The TEM investigation reveals that the Ni-rich precipitates were solidified from the liquid phase, confirmed by the presence of the waved and/or step phase boundaries. The precipitates also acts as the origin of the dislocation formation in the matrix phases.

The dependence of green and sintered densities of Zirconia-Toughened Alumina ($ZTA:\;Al_2O_3/\;15\;vol{%}\;ZrO_2$) on the properties of spray-dried granules was studied thoroughly to establish the optimum compaction condition leading to high reproducibility in the light of sintered density. The sphericity, mean size, degree of hollow occurrence and moisture content of spray-dried granules were largely different in between the granule containing binder and the ones with no binder. The effect of these differences in the characteristic of granules on the compaction behavior was examined in terms of the compaction pressure from 80 MPa to 120 MPa 10 MPa increment and the compaction method, i.e., uniaxial and cold isostatic pressing. This work confirmed that the reproducibility of sintered density caused by the variation of granule property could be improved by the optimization of compaction process. The variation of sintered density was controlled within 1 % deviation by compacting the granules under a relatively low pressure of 80 MPa in an uniaxial forming and subsequent cold isostatic pressing at high pressure of 500 MPa.
