본 연구는 $SiO_2$ 나노 콜로이드 첨가량에 따르는 $Si_3N_4$ 세라믹스의 마멸 특성을 평가하였다. 시험 편은 35 MPa, 2123 K의 질소 가스 분위기 1시간동안 소결하였다. 마멸 시험은 링 블록 시험기를 사용 하였으며, 시험 조건은 직경 35 mm인 링의 회전속도50 rpm, 하중 9.8 N, 실험중의 대기 온도 293 K이 었다. 세라믹스의 마멸계수는 약 1.0, 마멸손실은 약 0.02 mm이었다. 본 연구에 사용된 시험편 중에서 1.3 wt% $SiO_2$ 나노 콜로이드가 첨가된 시험편은 가장 낮은 마멸계수와 마멸 손실을 나타내어, 최상의 마멸 저항성을 나타내었다. 이것은 가장 높은 비커스 경도와 굽힘 강도를 나타내었다. 마멸계수는 경도 와 굽힘 강도에 역비례 관계를 보였다.

In the present work, silicon nitride was fabricated with $Y_3Al_5O_{12}$ as sintering additive and its mechanical properties were investigated. Silicon nitride with 3, 5, 7wt% of $Y_3Al_5O_{12}$ was prepared and sintered by a Hot Pressing (HP) technique at 1750, $1800^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. The Process was fulfilled under different process pressures of 30, 45MPa respectively. Mechanical properties (density, strength, hardness, fracture toughness) were investigated as a function of $Y_3Al_5O_{12}$ contents in $Si_3N_4$. $Si_3N_4-Y_3Al_5O_{12}$ ceramics showed similar mechanical properties compared with $Si_3N_4-Y_2O_3-Al_2O_3$ ceramics. But its high temperature strength was higher than $Si_3N_4-Y_2O_3-Al_2O_3$ceramics considerably.

Silicon Nitride ($Si_3N_4$), which is widely used in a variety of applications, is hard-to-machine due to its high hardness. At high temperature (e.g. above $1000^{\circ}C$), however, the machinability can be greatly improved. In this work, we used a $CO_2$ laser with a high absorptivity to $Si_3N_4$ of 0.9 to preheat the surface of a rothting $Si_3N_4$ rod. Preheating and turning of $Si_3N_4$ was executed at the same time. The result of machining was MRR of $8.0mm^3/s$ that is four times faster than normal grinding. Continuous chip formation was observed by a microscope.

Ceramics are very difficult-to-cut materials because of its high strength and hardness. Their machining mechanism is characterized by cracking and brittle fracture. In this paper, to give good machinability to the ceramics, h-BN powders are added to $Si_3N_4$, by volume of 20, 25 and 30%. And the machinability of the produced ceramics is tested using micro drilling system. Through required experimental works, it is shown that the micro drilling machinability is varied along with the volumetric percentage of h-BN powders. Also, it is verified that the obtained results can be used to develop new machinable ceramics of good material properties and machinability.

The effect of $\beta$-$Si_3N_4$ seeding on microstructural development of silicon nitride based materials has been investigated. In particular, to observe more distinctly the abnormal grain growth in pressureless sintering, fine $\alpha$-$Si_3N_4$(mean particle size: 0.26 ${\mu}m$) powder classified by sedimentation method was used. It was possible to prepare silicon nitride with abnormally grown grains under low nitrogen pressure of 1 atm thanks to the heterogeneous nucleation on $Si_3N_4$ seed particles. The size and morphology of silicon nitride grains were strongly influenced by the presence of $\beta$-$Si_3N_4$ seed and overall chemical composition. For specimens with initially low $\beta$-content, the large grains grew without a significant impingement by other large grains. On the contrary, for specimens with initially high $\beta$-content, steric hindrance was effective. The resulting microstructure was less inhomogeneous and characterized by unimodal grain size distribution.

소결온도 및 열처리에 의하여 미세조직을 변화시킨 질화규소의 파괴강도특성 및 그 신뢰성 평가를 하였다. 결정립이 클수록 파괴인성치는 증가하였지만 굽힘강도는 저하하였다. 균열재의 파괴응력 $\sigma$c와 등가균열길이 ae와의 관계는 프로세스 존 크기 파기기준에 의한 계산 결과와 매우 잘 일치하였다. 그리고 굽힘파괴응력 $\sigma$F와 파괴인성치 KIC의 통계적 특성을 고려한 파괴평가고건을 제안하였다.

In this study, bulk nano-crystalline $Si_3N_4$ ceramics were fabricated by spark plasma sintering (SPS) and their mechanical properties, in particular wear, were investigated. A wide range of grain sizes, from 80 nm and 250 nm were obtained by varying sintering conditions ($1550^{\circ}C$-5 min to $1650^{\circ}C$-20 min). The elastic modulus of obtained ceramics was ${\sim}250$ GPa and hardness was in the range of $13{\sim}14$ GPa. The indentation fracture toughness increased from $2.58MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$ to $3.24MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$ with increasing sintering temperature possibly due to the elongated grains. Sliding wear tests revealed at least an order magnitude improvement in wear resistance with grain refinement. Microstructure analysis indicated that nano-$Si_3N_4$ specimens worn mainly through delamination and microcracking, while that of coarser specimens revealed severe wear with grain debonding and fracture.

질화상압동시소결(NPS) 공정에 의해 제조된 기공율이 다른 질화규소 소결체에 대해 $1300^{circ}C$ 순산소 가스분위기에서 산화거동을 조사하였다. 질화규소 세라믹스 표면에 형성된 산화층의 두께는 산화 시간과 온도에 따라 증가되었으며, $1300^{circ}C$에서 100시간 산화시킨 5A5Y5Si와 5A5Y10Si 시편의 산화층 두께는 각각 10$\mu$m와 20$\mu$m이었다. 5A5YSi와 5A5Y10Si 시편의 산화는 각각 215kJ/mol과 104kJ/mol의 활성화 에너지를 갖고 포물선적 거동을 나타내었다. $1300^{circ}C$에서 500시간 산화시킨 후, 5A5Y5Si 시편에 대해 꺾임 강도를 측정한 결과, 초기의 약 500MPa값을 유지하고 있었으며, 반면 5A5Y10Si의 경우에는 초기의 값에서 약 100MPa의 강도저하를 나타내고 있었다.

[ $Si_3N_4$ ] composites have been extensively studied for engineering ceramics, because it has excellent room and high temperature strength, wear resistance properties, good resistance to oxidation, and good thermal and chemical stability. In the present work, carbon short fiber reinforced $Si_3N_4$ ceramics were fabricated by hot press method in $N_2$ atmosphere at $1800^{\circ}C$ using $Al_2O_3\;and\;Y_2O_3$ as sintering additives. Content of carbon short fiber was $0\%,\;0.1\%\;and\;0.3\%$. The composites were evaluated in terms of density, flexural strength and elastic modulus through the 3-point bending test at room temperature. Also, The wear behavior was determined by the pin on disk wear tester using silicon nitride ball. Experimental density and flexural strength decreased with increasing content of carbon fiber. But specific modulus increased with increasing content of carbon fiber. In addition, friction coefficient and specific wear loss decreased with increasing content of carbon short fiber by reason of interfacial defects between matrix and fiber.
