SiC particulate reinforced magnesium matrix composites were fabricated by melt stirring method. The effet of several factors on mechanical properties and the efficiency of melt stirring method from the viewpoint of these properties were investigated. The tensile strength increased and the elongation decreased with decrease of the particle size or the increase of the paticulate volume fraction for pure magnesium matrix and Mg-5%Zn alloy matrix composites. A longer stirring time improved the tensile strength of these composites. The tensile strength of Mg-5%Ca alloy matrix composites which shows no uniform paticulate distribution was a little lower than that of matrix alloy. Rapid solidification rate is preferred for the improved tensile strength of these composites. The pure magnesium matrix and Mg-5%Zn alloy matrix composites have tensile strength of about 400MPa. This value agrees with the tensile strength of some magnesium matrix composites fabricated by liquid infiltration method or powder metallurgy method at the same volume fraction of reinforcements of whisker or particle. Therefore, the melt stirring method which has the advantages of simple process is considered to be efficient in fabricating magnesium matrix composites.

The aim of this research is to evaluate the wear properties of (TiB+TiC) paticulate reinforced titanium matrix composites (TMCs) by in-situ synthesis. Different particle sizes (1500, $150{\mu}m$) and contents (0.94, 1.88 and 3.76 mass% for Ti, 1.98 and 3.96 mass% for the Ti6Al4V alloy) of boron carbide were added to pure titanium and to a Ti6Al4V alloy matrix during vacuum induction melting to provide 5, 10 and 20 vol.% (TiB+TiC) particulate reinforcement amounts. The wear behavior of the (TiB+TiC) particulate reinforced TMCs is described in detail with regard to the coefficient of friction, the hardness, and the degree of reinforcement fragmentation during sliding wear. The worn surfaces of each sliding wear condition are shown for the three types of wear studied here: transfer layer wear, particle cohesion wear and the development of abrasive areas. The fine reinforcements of TMCs were easily fragmented from the Ti matrix as compared to coarse reinforcements, and fragmented debris accelerated the decrease in the wear resistance.

The main objective of this study is to investigate the microstructure and tensile strength of $SiC_p$/Al alloy composites fabricated by die casting method. Die casting was performed using the preheated mold at the pouring temperature range of $620{\sim}750^{\circ}C$ under the pressure of $1,039 kgf/cm^2$. The low speed and a following high injection speed were 0.4 and 2.1 m/s, respectively. The microstructure of $SiC_p$/Al alloy composites fabricated by die casting method was found to be finer than that of composites fabricated by gravity casting. Also, SiC particulates were homogeneously distributed in refined Al matrix due to rapid solidification. The tensile strength of $SiC_p$/Al alloy composites fabricated by die casting method was found to be varied with cast temperature. The maximun tensile strength of $SiC_p$(10 vol.% and 20 vol.%)/Al alloy composites showed 380 MPa at the cast temperature of $750^{\circ}C$ and 363 MPa at the cast temperature of $700^{\circ}C$, respectively.

Mechanical properties of aluminum-matrix composites, fabricated by dispersion of fine SiC particulates of which size was less than 1 ${\mu}m$ into 2024 and 7075 aluminum alloys, have been investigated. Homogeneous mixing between the matrix and SiC particulates could be achieved by jar milling for 8 hours with appropriate processing agent. At temperatures below 473K, high-temperature tensile strength of the composites was higher than that of the 2024 and 7075 aluminum alloys which were used as matrix materials. However, tensile strength of the composites was approximated to that of the matrix materials at 573K. Thus, it could be suggested that effects of particle dispersion on tensile strength of aluminum alloys was diminished at temperatures higher than 573K.

High temperature creep behaviour of Al-5 wt% Mg alloy reinforced with 7.5% BN flakes was studied. The composite specimens showed two main creep characteristics : (1) the value of the apparent stress exponent of the composite was high and varied with applied stress (2) the apparent activation energy for creep was much larger than that for self-diffusion in aluminum The true stress exponent of the composite was set equal to 5. Temperature dependence of the threshold stress of the composite was very strong. Which could not be rationalized by allowing for the temperature dependence of the elastic modulus change. AIN particles which were incorporated into the Al matrix during fabrication of the composite by the PRIMEXTM method were found to be effective barriers to dislocation motion and to give rise the threshold stress during creep of the composite

In the present investigation wear behavior of the 6061AI composites reinforced with 5, 10, 20% SiC particles for dry sliding against a SM45C counterface was studied as a function of load and sliding velocity. Sliding wear tests were conducted at two loads(19.6 and 49N) and three sliding velocities(0.2, 1 and 2 m/sec) at constant sliding distance of 4000 m using pin-on-disk machine under room temperature. Presence of SiC reinforcement particles in the composites has displayed a transition from mild to severe wear at relatively higher applied load and sliding velocity compare to that of the matrix metal. As the volume fraction of SiC particles increased, the transition moved to a more severe wear conditions. Eventually, mild wear prevailed at a most severe wear conditions in this study, that was 49N load and 2 m/sec sliding velocity in 20% SiC particle/6061AI composite.

In this paper the failure mechanisms of polypropylene resin composites filled with calcium carbonate particulates have been studied in the temperature range $-50^{\circ}C$ to $-50^{\circ}C$ The fillers used are both untreated and surface treated with stearic acid. The impact fracture toughness is evaluated from the impact energy absorbed divided by the uncut ligament area of the specimen. Impact fracture toughness increases as temperature is raised whether the fillers are coated or not. The static fracture toughness of these particular composites is evaluated based on the linear clastic fracture toughness of these particular composites is evaluated based on the linear clastic fracture mechanics. Static fracture toughess decreases with increasing temperature whether the fillers are coated or not. An extended stress whitened zone are observed through a large number of availabel sites for cavitation/debonding along particle matrix interface and matrix deformation.

Alumina composites reinforced with SiC whiskers only or combinded with TiC particles were prepared by hot-pressing at 1850$^{\circ}C$ for 1h. The mechanical properties and microstructures of composites were investigated in this study. By of addition either 20 vol% SiC whiskers or 20 vol% TiC particles, the flexural strength fo alumina was increased from 360 MPa to 650 MPa or 730 MPa, respectively, and the KIC was also increased from 3.5 MPa$.$m1/2 to 5.5MPa$.$m1/2 or 4.4MPa$.$m1/2, respectively. In the case of composites with 20 vol% SiC whiskers and 2 vol% TiC particles. The flexural strength and KIC showed relatively high value of 800 MPa and 5.3MPa$.$m1/2, respectively. The improvement of mechanical properties was considered to be due to both the smaller average grain size and the crack deflection.

에폭시계 탄소섬유복합재는 고유의 높은 취성특성으로 인해 산업 응용에 적합성에 한계로 인성 특성을 향상시키기 위한 광범위한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구는 최소 함량을 활용하는 데 중점을 두고 PA6입자(pPA6)와 CTBN에 의한 인성 메커니즘을 평가하는 데 초점을 맞춰 Mode I 파단 인성 및 인장강도 분석을 통해 다양한 농도의 p-PA6와 CTBN 첨가제, 즉 0.5, 1, 2.5 및 5 phr의 영향을 평가하였다. p-PA6는 1 phr의 비교적 낮은 비율에서 인성이 강화되었으며, 인장강도를 유지하면서 동시에 향상된 인성에 기여하는 지속적인 파단 거동으로 나타났다. 또한, p-PA6의 입자 응집에 영향에 의해 전체적인 인성 메커니즘에 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. CTBN 첨가는 2.5 phr 이상의 높은 농도에서 인성의 증가하나, 인장강도의 감소를 동반하고 취성을 나타내는 기존의 복합재와 유사한 파단 거동을 관찰하였으며, p-PA6, CTBN 두 첨가 기술은 특정 농도 조건에서 인장강도를 미세하게 향상시키는 것으로 확인하였다. 해당 결과를 통해 p-PA6, CTBN 강화 기술 적용에 최적화된 조건이 확립하였다.

모의 낙뢰시험에 의해 충격손상을 입은 탄소섬유강화플라스틱(CFRP) 복합재료의 잔류압축강도를 평가하는 시험(CAI) 중 손상부의 거동을 음향방출(AE)법으로 관찰하였다. CFRP 시편은 ITO 나노입자를 탄소섬유에 직접 코팅한 CFRP prepreg를 이용하여 만들었고, 모의 낙뢰시험은 고전압 대전류 인가장치(ICG)를 이용하여 시편에 10~40 kA의 충격파 전류를 인가하여 실시하였다. ITO 나노입자 코팅의 효과와 인가전류의 세기에 따른 손상영역의 크기와 잔류압축강도를 AE 거동과 연관하여 평가하였다. 손상영역의 크기는 초음파 C-scan 영상을 이용하여 측정하였으며, AE events 수와 AE event가 발생하기 시작할 때의 압축응력 수준을 연관시킨 결과 ITO 나노입자 코팅 CFRP의 경우 상대적으로 손상이 작고 훨씬 높은 용력수준에서 AE가 발생하기 시작하였다. CAI시험 중 AE측정은 실제로 낙뢰손상을 입은 복합재 동체 구조물의 손상된 정도를 구별하는 데 유용한 지표로 활용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.
