단일상으로서는 치밀한 소결이 힘든 TiC 와 $TiB_2$ 혼합조성을 상압소결하여 얻어진 TiC-$TiB_2$ 고온복합체의 소결밀도와 미세구조를 연구하였다. 소성조제의 임계첨가량은 1 wt% Fe 및 3 wt% Ni으로 최대 소결밀도는 약 95%이었다. TiC-$TiB_2$ 복합체의 미세구조에서 TiC상은 matrix로서 $TiB_2$입자성장을 저지하였고, wave 흑은 계단식 상계면의 존재는 석출된 Ni-rich phases가 소결중 액상으로 존재하다가 냉각시 고화한 것으로 TEM분석결과 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 이들 Ni-rich phases는 matrix grain안에서 dislocation형성 요인으로 작용하고 있음이 확인되었다.

The present study demonstrates the effect of magnetic pulse compaction and spark plasma sintering on the microstructure and mechanical property of a sintered W body. The relative density of green specimens prepared by magnetic pulse compaction increases with increase in applied pressure, but when the applied pressure is 3.4 GPa or more, some cracks in the specimen are observed. The pressureless-sintered W shows neck growth between W particles, but there are still many pores. The sintered body fabricated by spark plasma sintering exhibits a relative density of above 90 %, and the specimen sintered at 1,600 ℃ after magnetic pulse compaction shows the highest density, with a relative density of 93.6 %. Compared to the specimen for which the W powder is directly sintered, the specimen sintered after magnetic pulse compaction shows a smaller crystal grain size, which is explained by the reduced W particle size and microstructure homogenization during the magnetic pulse compaction process. Sintering at 1,600 ℃ led to the largest Vickers hardness value, but the value is slightly lower than that of the conventional W sintered body, which is attributed mainly to the increased grain size and low sintering density.

The effect of $Al_{2}O_{3}$ additives on the microstructure, mechanical and electrical properties of ${\beta}$-SiC+39vol.%$ZrB_2$ electroconductive ceramic composites by pressureless sintering were investigated. The ${\beta}$-SiC+39vol.%$ZrB_2$ ceramic composites were pressureless sintered by adding 4, 8, 12wt.% $Al_{2}O_{3}$ powder as a liquid forming additives at $1950^{\circ}C$ for 1h. Phase analysis of composites by XRD revealed mostly of $\alpha$-SiC(6H), $ZrB_2$ and weakly $\alpha$-SiC(4H), $\beta$-SiC(15R) phase. The relative density of composites was lowered by gaseous products of the result of reaction between $\beta$-SiC and $Al_{2}O_{3}$ therefore, porosity was increased with increased $Al_{2}O_{3}$ contents. The fracture toughness of composites was decreased with increased $Al_{2}O_{3}$ contents, and showed the maximum value of $1.4197MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$ for composite added with 4wt.% $Al_{2}O_{3}$ additives. The electrical resistivity of ${\beta}$-SiC+39vol.%$ZrB_2$ electroconductive ceramic composite was increased with increased $Al_{2}O_{3}$ contents, and showed positive temperature coefficient resistance (PTCR) in the temperature from $25^{\circ}C$ to $700^{\circ}C$.

The effect of $Al_2O_3+Y_2O_3$ additives on fracture toughness of ${\beta}-SiC-TiB_2$ composites by hot-pressed sintering was investigated. The ${\beta}-SiC-TiB_2$ ceramic composites were hot-press sintered and pressureless-annealed by adding 16, 20, 24 wt% ${\beta}-SiC-TiB_2$(6:4 wt%) powder as a liquid forming additives at low temperature(1800 $^{\circ}C$) for 4 h. Phase analysis of composites by XRD revealed mostly of ${\alpha}$-SiC(6H), $TiB_2$, and YAG($Al_5Y_3O_{12}$). The relative density was over 95-88 % of the theoretical density, and the porosity increased with increasing $Al_2O_3+Y_2O_3$ contents because of the increasing tendency of pore formation. The fracture toughness showed the highest value of 5.88 MPa${\cdot}m^{1/2}$ for composites added with 20 wt% $Al_2O_3+Y_2O_3$ additives at room temperature. The electrical resistivity showed the lowest value of $5.22{\times}10^{-4}\;{\Omega}\;{\cdot}\;cm$ for composite added with 20 wt% $Al_2O_3+Y_2O_3$ additives at room temperature, and was all positive temperature coefficeint resistance(PTCR) against temperature up to 900 $^{\circ}C$.

${\beta}-SiAlON$, based on its high fracture toughness, good strength and low abrasion resistance, has been adopted in several industrial fields such as bearings, turbine blades and non-ferrous metal refractories. In general, ${\beta}-SiAlON$ is fabricated by reactive sintering using expensive $Si_3N_4$ and AlN as starting materials. On the other hand, in this study, a cheaper ${\beta}-SiAlON$ starting powder synthesized by SHS was employed to improve price competitiveness compared to that of the reactive sintering process. ${\beta}-SiAlON$ ceramics with various content of the sintering additive $Y_2O_3$ up to 7 wt% were fabricated by conventional pressureless sintering at $1800^{\circ}C$ for 2 to 8 h under $N_2$ pressure of 0.1 MPa. The specimen with 3 wt% $Y_2O_3$ exhibited the best mechanical properties: hardness of 14 GPa, biaxial strength of 830 MPa, fracture toughness of $5MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$ and wear rate of about $3{\times}10^{-6}mm^3/N{\cdot}m$.

$Al_2$$O_3$-SiC 화합물 분말이 $SiO_2$, A1 그리고 C 분말들을 원료분말로 하여 SHS(self-propagating High-temperature Synthesis)법에 의해 제조되었다. 원료 분말에서의 몰비, 성형압력, 반응물의 초기온도의 영향이 생성물과 연소과정에 대해 연구되었다. $SiO_2$/A1/C계의 자전연소합성은 낮은 연소온도 때문에 $400^{\circ}C$ 이상으로 예열되어야 한다. 연소반응의 결과로서 최종생성물의 순도는 반응물의 순도보다 높았다. 이 계에서 $SiO_2$:Al:C의 적당한 몰비는 3.0:4.0:6.0이었고, free carbon은 30min 동안 $650^{\circ}C$에서 배소함으로써 제거되었다. 본 연구에서 상압소결은 $1700^{\circ}C$에서 powder bed를 사용한 표본의 분해를 제어하고 치밀한 소결체를 얻는데 매우 효과적이었다. hot-pressing으로 생성된 소결체는 이론비교밀도의 약 98%이었다.

Particulate nitride composites have been fabricated by sintering the compacted powder of AlN and 5 - 64.3 mol% $Al_2O_3$, with a small addition of $Y_2O_3$ ($Y_2O_3$/AlN, 1 wt%), in 1-atm nitrogen gas at $1650-1900^{\circ}C$. The composites were characterized in terms of sintering behavior, phase relations, microstructure and thermal shock resistance. AlN, 27R AlN pseudopolytype, and alminium oxynitride (AlON, $5AlN{\cdot}9Al_2O_3$) were found to existin the sintered material. Regardless of batch composition, the AlN-$Al_2O_3$ powder compacts exhibited similar sintering behavior; however, the degree of shrinkage commonly increased with increasing $Al_2O_3$ content, consequently giving high sintered bulk density. By increasing the $Al_2O_3$ addition up to ${\geq}50 mol%$, the matrix phase in the sintered material was converted from AlN or 27R to AlON. Above $1850^{\circ}C$, a liquid phase was formed by the reaction of $Al_2O_3$ with AlN, aided by $Y_2O_3$ and mainly existed at the grain boundaries of AlON. Thermal shock resistance was superior in the sintered composite consisting of AlON with dispersed AlN or AlN matrix phase.

Molybdenum (Mo) is one of the representative refractory metals for its high melting point, superior thermal conductivity, low density and low thermal expansion coefficient. However, due to its high melting point, it is necessary for Mo products to be fabricated at a high sintering temperature of over $1800-2000^{\circ}C$. Because this process is expensive and inefficient, studies to improve sintering property of Mo have been researched actively. In this study, we fabricated Mo nanopowders to lower the sintering temperature of Mo and tried to consolidate the Mo nanopowders through ultra high pressure compaction. We first fabricated Mo nanopowders by a mechano-chemical process to increase the specific surface area of the Mo powders. This process includes a high-energy ball milling step and a reduction step in a hydrogen atmosphere. We compacted the Mo nanopowders with ultra high pressure by magnetic pulsed compaction (MPC) before pressureless sintering. Through this process, we were able to improve the green density of the Mo compacts by more than 20 % and fabricate a high density Mo sintered body with more than a 95 % sintered density at relatively low temperature.

$Al_2O_3$ 기지에 미치는 2차상의 영향을 알아보기 위하여 SiC 입자를 5~20vol.% 분산시키고 소결조제로서 $TiO_2$ 또는 RY_2O_3$를 2.5wt.%첨가하여 180$0^{\circ}C$, $N_2$분위기 중에서 90분간 상압소결 하였다. SiC함량이 증가함에 따라 소결체의 밀도는 감소하였지만 기계적 물성은 증가하여 $Y_2O_3$를 소결조제로 첨가한 경우, 꺾임강도는 525MPa, 경도는 17.1GPa,파괴인성은 4.1 MPa.$m^{1/2}$ 정도의 최고값을 나타내었고 반면 $TiO_2$를 소결조제로 첨가한 경우 꺾임강도 285MPa , 경도 12.1GPa 정도의 값을 나타냈다. 그리고 이와 같은 기계적 물성의 증진은 주로 SiC의 복합화에 따른 균열의 편향과 $Al_2O_3$ 의 입자성장억제효과에 의한 것으로 밝혀졌다.

In this study, a high energy ball milling process was employed in order to improve the densification of direct nitrided AlN powder. The densification behavior and the sintered microstructure of the milled AlN powder were investigated. Mixture of AlN powder doped with 5 wt.% $Y_2O_3$ as a sintering additive was pulverized and dispersed up to 50 min in a bead mill with very small $ZrO_2$ beads. Ultrafine AlN powder with a particle size of 600 nm and a specific surface area of 9.54 $m^2/g$ was prepared after milling for 50 min. The milled powders were pressureless-sintered at $1700^{\circ}C-1800^{\circ}C$ for 4 h under $N_2$ atmosphere. This powder showed excellent sinterability leading to full densification after sintering at $1700^{\circ}C$ for 4 h. However, the sintered microstructure revealed that the fraction of yitttium aluminate increased with milling time and sintering temperature and the newly-secondary phase of ZrN was observed due to the reaction of AlN with the $ZrO_2$ impurity.
