SiC fibers were coated with Cu, Ag and Ni metallic thin films by magnetron sputtering in order to improve wetting properties between Al matrix and SiC fiber. The wetting behavior of metal coated SiC fiber by pure Al has been studied at $670^{\circ}C{\sim}900^{\circ}C$ range for $10{\sim}90min$. under vacuum atmosphere. Besides, the effect of coated film thickness on the wettability has been investigated. The wetting behavior and interfacial reaction between Al and SiC fibers were analysed with optical microscope and SEM (scanning electron microscope). The wetting behavior of the as-received SiC fiber with Al melt was not uniform, indicated by the contact angles from less than $90^{\circ} to more Al melt was appeared in the initial stage of reation. It was considered that the metallic thin film played an important role in reducing the interfacial free energy and breaking down the aluminum oxide film by eutectic reaction with Al melt. However the wettability of Ni coated SiC fiber was not improved as much as that of Cu or Ag coated SiC fiber. The improvement of wettability by coating thickness is clearly showed in $1{\mu}m$ coated SiC fiber compared with $0.25{\mu}m$ coated SiC.

Effects of liquid phase and reinforcing particle morphology on the sintering of Al-6 wt％Cu-10 vol％ $Al_2O_3$ or SiC particles were studied in regards to densification, structure and transverse rupture properties. The Al-Cu liquid phase penetrated the boundaries between the aluminum matrix powders and the interfaces with reinforcing particles as well, indicating a good wettability to the powders. This enhanced the densification during sintering and the resulting strength and ductility. Since most of the copper added, however, was dissolved in the liquid phase and formed a brittle $CuAl_2$ phase upon cooling rather than alloyed with the aluminum matrix, the strengthening effect by the copper was not fully realized. Reinforcing particles of agglomerate type were found less suitable for the liquid phase sintering than solid type particles. $Al_2O_3$ and SiC particles protluced little difference on the sintering behavior but their size had a large effect. Repressing of the sintered composites increased density and bending properties but caused debonding at the matrix-particle interfaces and also fracturing of the particles.

고온형 SOFC의 개발에 있어 스택의 신뢰성을 확보하는데 가장 중요한 핵심기술은 스택 구성요소 사이를 접합하는데 필요한 고온형 밀봉재의 개발이다. SOFC 스택에서의 밀봉재는 고체전해질과 접속자 사이에서 음극에 공급되는 연료가스와 양극에 공급되는 공기가 서로 혼합되는 것을 방지하는 역할은 물론 기계적으로 취약한 단전지의 보호 및 스택전체 구조물의 구조적 일체성(Structural integrity)을 부여하는데 주목적이 있다. 현재 기체 기밀성을 유지하기 위한 밀봉재는 크게 유리 및 결정화 유리계, mica및 mica/유리복합재료, 유리/충전재 복합재료 등이 사용되고 있으나 다수의 단위전지로 구성되는 스택 구성에서 스택의 열기계적 안정성 및 장기수명을 보장하기 위해서는 본 연구에서 개발하고자 하는 복합밀봉재가 가장 적합할 것으로 예상되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 $SiO_2-B_2O_3-RO$계에 BaO, SrO를 일정비율로 첨가하여 제작된 유리 frit을 열처리하여 물리화학적 물성변화를 검토하였으며, $700^{\circ}C$ 이하의 연화점을 갖는 유리를 기지상으로 하고 세라믹 보강재를 첨가한 고온형 복합밀봉재를 개발하고 그 물리화학적 안정성, 열기계적 안정성 및 밀봉 특성을 평가하였다.

Process conditions for the impregnation of polycarbosilane preceramic polymer into SiC-based composites were investigated. Two kinds of preceramic polymer (PCP) was impregnated into SiC-fiber fabrics with different solvents of n-hexane and divinylbenzene (DVB). Both microstructural observations and mechanical tests were conducted to evaluate the impregnation. The matrix phases were particulated in the case of hexane solvents. Apparent relative density of the matrix was about 78.8%. The density of matrix was increased to about 96.1-98.8% when the DVB was used; however, brittle fracture was observed during a bending test. The modulus of toughness was less than $0.74J/m^3$. The fabric impregnated with a mixed PCP-dissolved solution showed intermediate characteristics with relative high density of filling (apparent density of ~96.1%) as well as proper bending behavior. The modulus of toughness was increased to about $5.31J/m^3$. The composites developed by changing the precursor and solvent suggested the possibility of fabricating SiCf/SiC composites without a fiber to matrix interphase coating.

입자강화 알루미늄 복합재료의 고온거동을 조사하기위하여, 온도 623K~823K에서 $10^{-2}$ ~1.0 S$^{-1}$ 변형속도로 열간 압축 가공 시험을 행하여 복합재의 고온유동응력에 미치는 강화입자의 첨가량, 강화입자의 종류 및 크기와 변형속도 및 변형온도 등의 영향을 조사하였다. 강화입자의 체적분율이 증가함에 따라서 고온유동음력은 증가하였으나 항복점에서의 차이가 변형량이 증가되어도 그대로 유지되고 있었다. 변형속도 민감도(m)로 볼때 SiCp첨가된 복합재가 A1$_2$O$_3$p를 첨가한 복합재보다 비교적 균일하게 가공할 수 있음을 알 수 있었으며, 823K에서 최적변형속도는 0.1Sec$^{-1}$ 이었다. 변형에 필요한 활성화 에너지는 A6061기지금속이 290KJmole$^{-1}$, A6061-20vo1% SiCp = 327KJmo1e$^{-1}$, A6061-20vo1% $Al_2$O$_3$= 531KJmole$^{-1}$이었다. 이것은 알루미늄의 자기활성화에너지 138KJmo1e$^{-1}$보다 큰 값으로 A1$_2$O$_3$강화복합재료가 SiCp 강화 복합재료보다 열간가공이 어렵다는 것을 나타내는 것이다.

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic(CFRP) composite with a higher specific strength and rigidity is more excellent than conventional metallic materials or other organic polymer of FRP. It has been widely used in vehicles, aerospaces and high technology industries which are associated with nuclear power fields. However, CFRP laminated composite has several disadvantages as like a delamination, matrix brittleness and anisotropic fibers that are the weak points of the crack initiation. In this present work, the reinforced silicon carbide(SiC) particles were added to the interlayer of CFRP laminates in order to mitigate the physical vulnerability affecting the cracking and breaking of the matrix in the CFRP laminated composite because of excellent specific strength and thermal shock resistance characteristics of SiC. The 1wt% of SiC particles were spread into the CFRP prepreg by using a spray coating method. After that, CFRP prepregs were laminated for the specimen. Also, the twill woven type CFRP prepreg was used because it has excellent workability. Thus the mechanical and fracture behaviors of the twill woven CFRP laminated composite reinforced with SiC particles were investigated with the acoustic emission(AE) method under a fracture test. The results show that the SiC particles enhance the mechanical and fracture characteristics of the twill CFRP laminate composite.

A comprehensive methodology to characterize the interfacial reaction products of $SiC_p/2024$ Al composites is introduced on the basis of the experimental results obtained using XRD, SEM and TEM. XRD performed on the electrochemically extracted $SiC_p$ and bulk $SiC_p/2024$ Al composite have shown that the interfacial reaction products consist of $Al_{4}C_3$ having hexagonal crystallographic structure, pure eutectic Si having diamond cubic crystallographic structure, and $CuAl_2$, having tetragonal crystalloraphic structure, respectively. According to the images observed by SEM, $Al_{4}C_3$, which has been reported to have needle shape, has a hexagonal platelet-shape and eutectic Si is found to have a dendritic shape. In addition eutectic $CuAl_2$, was observed to form near interface and/or along the grain boundaries. In order to confirm the results obtained by XRD, the primitive cell volume and reciprocal lattice height of such interfacial reaction products were calculated using the data obtained from convergent beam electron diffraction (CBED) patterns, and then compared with theoretical values.

Because the running speed of vehicles is increasing and a shorter braking distance is required, high heat-resistant brake pads are needed to satisfy the requirements of customers and car makers. In the near future, hazardous materials such as Cu, Cr, Zn, and Sb will be restricted from use in friction materials. Ceramic composites reinforced by carbon fibers are good candidates for eco-friendly friction materials. In this study, we develop ceramic composite friction materials. The friction materials are composed of carbon fibers, Si, SiC, graphite, and phenol resin and are prepared by hot forming and heat treatment at high temperatures. The density, void ratio, and compressive strength are $1.59-1.66g/cm^3$, 16.6-20, and 70-90 MPa, respectively. Friction and wear tests are performed using a pin-on-plate-type reciprocating friction tester at 25, 100, and $200^{\circ}C$. The counterpart material is a CrMoV steel extracted from a KTX brake disc. Friction coefficient, wear amount, and wear mechanism are measured and examined. We determine that the friction coefficients depend on the temperature and the fluctuation of the friction coefficients is larger at higher temperatures. The amount of wear increases with the surface temperatures of the specimens. The tribological properties of the developed composites are similar to those of a Cu-based sintered friction material. Through this study, it is confirmed that ceramic composite materials can be used as friction materials.

Present study was investigated the effect of the particle of the counterface of unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced composite. The friction coefficient of composite and the specific wear rate different sliding velocity were measured for this materials. The friction track of counterface was observed by an optical microscope and scanning electron microscope. There were insignificant effects of the specific wear rate under lower Sic abrasive particle, however it showed high effect on $30{\mu}m$ abrasive particle size. There were significant effects of friction and wear behavior of the fiber direction under 0.3m/s sliding speed. Major failure mechanisms can be classified such as microfracture, plowing, microcutting, cutting and cracking.
