Silicon nitride ceramic has been verified as an excellent rolling bearing material because of its high strength and outstanding rolling fatigue life properties. However under some corrosive circumstances it showed drawbacks such as hardness reduction and severe wear caused by corrosion. In this work, the variations of the rolling wear and hardness of three kinds of ceramics were studied for the specimen aged 15 days in alkali water (90 $\pm$ 2$\^{C}$,25 wt% NaOH ). All of the specimens, ① Si$_3$N$_4$, ② 3Y-TZP and ③ 3Y-TZP alloyed with 5 wt% CeO$_2$, were sintered and post-HIPed, and then polished up to 0.02 $\mu$mRa of surface roughness. Rolling wear tests were conducted by MJ type rolling fatigue life tester under the initial theoretical maximum contact stress of 3.16 GPa and the spindle speed of 1,000 rpm. Spindle oil was used as a lubricant. The specimens were not worn before aging. For the specimen aged in alkali water, Si$_3$N$_4$ and 3Y-TZP were worn by rolling wear tests, and hardness was decreased. While aging the specimens, the phase was transformed from tetragonal to monoclinic in 3Y-TZP and the microstructure change occurred in Si$_2$N$_4$. 3Y-TZP specimens alloyed with 5 wt% CeO$_2$ were not worn after aging and no phase transformation occurred while aging.

PVA를 첨가하여 제조한 collloidal $ZrO_2$ 졸에 있어서 입자의 분산성 및 입성장에 미치는 PVA의 영향을 고찰하였다. 적정량의 PVA를 첨가하여 제조된 colloidal 졸은 균일한 흡착층의 형성으로 입자간의 응집이 효과적으로 억제된 분산이 양호한 안정된 졸이었으며 이러한 분산성은 PVA가 $ZrO_2$ 일차입자 표면에 흡착층이 형성되어 입성장을 억제하기 때문이었다. $ZrO_2$ 입자의 핵생성은 수화반응 초기에 대부분 일어났으며, 숙성 시간 에 따라 판상의 단사정상 입자가 성장하였는데 PVA의 첨가량이 증가할수록 입성장 속도와 반응수율이 감소하였다. PVA 첨가에 의해 잘 분산된 현탁액으로부터 제조된 충진체는 입자가 고르게 배열되고 응집체간에 형성된 기공이 균일하였다.

The mullite-15v/o ZrO2 composites were prepared by dispersing ZrO2-3m/o Y2O3 powders into the mullite matrix in order to improve the mechanical properties of the mullite. The densification and retention of t-ZrO2 in the matrix of synthetic mullite were also investigated. From IR spectroscopic analysis, the obtained amorphous SiO2-Al2O3 powder was observed to have Si-O-Al chemical bond in its structure which might result in the homogeneous mullite composition. The lattice parameter of the mullite powder calcined above 130$0^{\circ}C$ (a0=7.5468$\AA$) is nearly close to the value of stoichiometric mullite (71.8wt% Al2O3, a0=7.5456$\AA$). The sintering behavior, microstructure, flexural strength and fracture toughness of the mullite and mullite-15v/o ZrO2 composites have been studied. The mullite-15v/o ZrO2(+3m/o Y2O3) ceramics with relative densities of 96% were obtained when sintered at 1$600^{\circ}C$. The flexural strength and fractrue toughness of the composites sintered at 1$600^{\circ}C$(calcination temperature of mullite powders ; 125$0^{\circ}C$) had maximum values of 307MPa and 2.50MPa.m1/2, respectively. The fracture toughness improvement in the mullite-ZrO2 cmoposite is assumed to be resulted from the combined effect of the stress-induced phase transformation of tetragonal ZrO2 and the crack deflection due to microcracking by the monoclinic ZrO2 formation.

This study focused on improving the phase stability and mechanical properties of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ), commonly utilized in gas turbine engine thermal barrier coatings, by incorporating Gd₂O₃, Er₂O₃, and TiO₂. The addition of 3-valent rare earth elements to YSZ can reduce thermal conductivity and enhance phase stability while adding the 4-valent element TiO₂ can improve phase stability and mechanical properties. Sintered specimens were prepared with hot-press equipment. Phase analysis was conducted with X-ray diffraction (XRD), and mechanical properties were assessed with Vickers hardness equipment. The research results revealed that, except for Z10YGE10T, most compositions predominantly exhibited the t-phase. Increasing the content of 3-valent rare earth oxides resulted in a decrease in the monoclinic phase and an increase in the tetragonal phase. In addition, the t(400) angle decreased while the t(004) angle increased. The addition of 10 mol% of 3-valent rare-earth oxides discarded the t-phase and led to the complete development of the c-phase. Adding 10 mol% TiO₂ increased hardness than YSZ.

2성분계(CaO-, Y2O3-, MgO-ZrO2) 및 3성분계(MgO-ZrO2-Al2O3)ZrO2분말의 안정화제 종류, 첨가량 및 열처리온도 변화에 따른 ZrO2의 상전이를 X-선 회절과 Raman분광법으로 연구하였다. CaO-, 및 Y2O3-ZrO2계에서 CaO와 Y2O3의 첨가량이 각각 6~15mol% 및 3~15mol%로 증가에 따른 정방정상에서의 입방정상으로의 상전이를 X-선회절 pattern으로는 판별하기 어려웠으나, Raman spectra에서는 모든 Raman band가 저파수쪽으로 이동하고 band의 수 및 그 세기가 현저히 감소함을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이것은 정방정$\longrightarrow$입방정의 상전이가 발생한 것으로 ZrO2 격자내에서 Zr4+ 이온과 Ca2+ 혹은 Y3+이온의 치환에 의해 산소이온의 빈자리 생성으로 인한 구조적 불규칙성과 선택규칙(k=0)의 파괴에 기인한 것으로 해석된다. MgO의 경우에는 10mol%에서 단사정에서 입방정으로 상전이가 발생하였다. MgO-ZrO2-Al2O3계에서는 Al2O3의 첨가에 의해 입방정$\longrightarrow$단사정의 상전이가 발생하는데 이것은 MgO와 Al2O3의 반응에 의해 spinel(MgAl2O4)의 형성으로 인하여 MgO가 충분히 안정화제로서의 역할을 하지 못하기 때문으로 판단된다. 또한, 안정화제의 종류와 첨가량 변화에 따른 ZrO2의 상전이를 ZrO2의 격자상수값의 변화와 관련하여 설명할 수 있는데, 즉, 안정화제의 첨가량이 증가할수록 격자상수 a값은 증가하고 c값은 감소하여 10~13mol%사이에서는 c/a의 축비가 1에 근접하고, 따라서 정방정$\longrightarrow$입방정의 상전이가 진행됨을 알 수 있었다.
