Electrical discharge machinable $SiC-TiB_2$ composites were fabricated by hot-pressing. Their mechanical and electrical properties were determined as a function of $TiB_2$ content. The addition of $TiB_2$ to SiC matrix increased the strength and toughness and decreased electrical resistivity. The flexural strength and fracture toughness of SiC-40 vol% $TiB_2$ composited were approximately 50% higher than those of monolithic SiC ceramics. Microstructural analysis showed that the toughening was mainly due to the crack deflection, with some possible contribution from crack branching or microcracking.

Electrical discharge machinable $Si_3N_4$ was fabricated with the addtion of 20-60 vol% TiN by gas pressure sintering. Their sinterability, microstructure, mechanical and electrical properties were characterized as a function of the TiN content. The addition of TiN up to 20 vol% increased the flexural strength and fracture toughness as compared with those of the monolithic Si3N4. For the TiN content higher than 40 vol%, the electrical resistivity was lower than $1062\Omega$.cm. The $Si_3N_4$ with the addition of 40 vol% of TiN appears to have the optimum considerable sinterability, mechanical and electrical properties, and machinability. A microstructural analysis showed that the enhanced toughening was due to the crack deflection.

질화규소는 고경도, 고인성 세라믹 재료이기 때문에, 기계적 가공성은 매우 나쁘며, 또한 질화규소는 높은 전기 저항을 갖는다. 매우 높은 전기저항을 띠는 질화규소에 30wt% 이상의 TiN 분말이 첨가되었을 때 전도성 세라믹 복합체가 된다. 높은 전기 전도도를 가질 때 세라믹을 방전가공방법(EDM)을 이용하여 정밀한 가공을 할 수 있다. 높은 전기 전도도를 갖는 $Si_3N_4-TiN$ 세라믹 복합체는 EDM 방법을 이용하여 금속 가공 tool을 만드는데 이용되며, 이러한 tool 재료들은 산화뿐만 아니라 심각한 마모문제를 갖는다. 상압소결후 post HIP 소결방법으로 $Si_3N_4-TiN$ 복합체를 만들었으며, TiN의 양의 변화에 따른 $Si_3N_4$ 복합체의 마모특성을 상온의 대기중에서 조사하였다. 경도, 파괴인성, 강도값을 마모량과 비교하였다. 마모흔의 SEM 관찰로 $Si_3N_4-TiN$ 복합체의 마모기구를 설명하였다.
