반응소결 탄화규소의 잔류 실리콘 양을 최소화하기 위해 3성분계 탄화규소 분말을 혼합하여 최밀 충전 반음소결 탄화규소를 제조하였다. 기지상의 충전밀도 증가로 인해 반응소결 중 실리콘의 불완전 침윤이 발생하였으며, 이로 인한 잔류 기공은 조대 탄화규소 입자의 표면을 따라 존재함을 확인하였다. 불완전 침윤은 승온 중 분해되지 않고 남은 산화물이 실리콘의 용융 온도 이상에서 분해되어 생긴 고립기공에 의한 것으로 확인되었다. 기지상의 표면에 존재하리라 여겨지는 산화물을 제거하기 위해 침윤전 열처리 및 부식처리를 통해 완전침윤을 달성하였다.

Silicon carbide-carbon fiber composites have been prepared by partially Infiltrating porous carbon fiber composites with liquid silicon at a reaction temperature of $1670^{\circ}C$. Reaction between molten silicon and the fiber preform yielded silicon carbide-carbon fiber composites composed of aggregates of loosely bonded SiC crystallites of about 10$\mu\textrm{m}$ in size and preserved the appearance of a fiber. In addition, the SiC/C fiber composites had carbon fibers coated with a dense layer consisted of SiC particles of sizes smaller than 1$\mu\textrm{m}$. The physical and mechanical properties of SiC/C fiber composites were discussed in terms of infiltrated pore volume fraction of carbon preform occupied by liquid silicon at the beginning of reaction. Lower bending strength of the SiC/C fiber composites which had a heterogeneous structure in nature, was attributed to the disruption of geometric configuration of the original carbon fiber preform and the formation of the fibrous aggregates of the loosely bonded coarse SiC particles produced by solution-precipitation mechanism.

Reaction Bonded Silicon Carbide(RBSC) has been used for engineering ceramics due to low-temperature fabrication and near-net shape products with excellent structural properties such as thermal shock resistance, corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. Recently, attempts have been made to develop hot gas filter with gradient pore structure by RBSC to overcome weakness of commercial clay-bonded SiC filter such as low fracture toughness and low reliability. In this study a fabrication process of porous RBSC with multi-layer pore structure with gradient pore size was developed. The support layer of the RBSC with multi-layer pore structure was fabricated by conventional Si infiltration process. The intermediate and filter layers consisted of phenolic resin and fine SiC powder were prepared by dip-coating of the support RBSC in slurry of SiC and phenol resin. The temperature of $1550^{\circ}C$ to make Si left in RBSC support layer infiltrate into dip-coated layer to produce SiC by reacting with pyro-carbon from phenol resin.

RBSC (reaction-bonded silicon carbide) represents a family of composite ceramics processed by infiltrating with molten silicon into a skeleton of SiC particles and carbon in order to fabricate a fully dense body of silicon carbide. RBSC has been commercially used and widely studied for many years, because of its advantages, such as relatively low temperature for fabrication and easier to form components with near-net-shape and high relative density, compared with other sintering methods. In this study, RBSC was fabricated with different size of SiC in the raw material. Microstructure, thermal and mechanical properties were characterized with the reaction-sintered samples in order to examine the effect of SiC size on the thermal and mechanical properties of RBSC ceramics. Especially, phase volume fraction of each component phase, such as Si, SiC, and C, was evaluated by using an image analyzer. The relationship between microstructures and physical properties was also discussed.

Reaction bonded silicon carbide (RBSC) composite for heat-exchanger was fabricated by molten Si infiltration method. For enforcing fracture toughness to reaction bonded silicon carbide composite, the surface of carbon fiber has coating layer by SiC or pyro-carbon. For SiC layer coating, CVD method was used. And for carbon layer coating, the phenol resin was used. In the case of carbon layer coating, fracture toughness and fracture strength were enhancing to 4.4 $MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$ and 279 MPa.

탄화규소와 카본의 이성분계에서 pH, 계면활성제 및 출발원료의 입도 분포를 이용하여 성형체의 기공크기 및 기공을 제어에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 성형체는 각각 다른 분산조건을 가지는 슬러리를 이장성형법을 이용하여 제조하였으며, 입자간의 응\ulcorner제어에 따른 상이한 성형미세구조를 가지도록 하였다. 제조된 성형체에 대하여 반응소결 공정은 1$600^{\circ}C$, 진공분위기에서 20분간 응용 실리콘 침윤 공정을 행하였다. 초기 성형 미세구조가 반응소결체의 미세구조에 미치는 영향을 관찰하기 위하여 광학 현미경 및 SEM 분석을 통하여 제조된 소결체의 미세구조를 분석하였으며, 그리고 이에 따른 반응 소결체의 기계적 특성을 평가하였다. 각각의 분산조건에 따라 성형미세구조는 다르게 나타났으며, 미세한 탄화규소를 입자를 사용하였을 경우에 기공크기가 현저하게 작아짐을 확인하였다. 제조된 반응소결체의 미세구조 분석결과 일반적인 반응소결 탄화수소에서 발견되는 bimodal 미세구조는 관찰되지 않았으며, 이는 초기 탄화규소의 카본의 비가 중요항 변수인 것으로 분석하였다. 반응소결 탄화규소의 3-점 곡강도 값은 입자간의 분산이 잘 이루어진 성형체를 사용하였을 경우 310$\pm$40 MPa으로서 응집이 일어난 성형체를 사용한 반응소결체의 260$\pm$50MPa 보다 높았다.

We prepared a number of reaction-bonded silicon carbides (RBSCs) made from various mixing ratios of raw SiC particles, and investigated their microstructure and etch characteristics by Reactive Ion Etch (RIE). Increasing the amount of $9.5{\mu}m$-SiC particles results in a microstructure with relatively coarser Si regions. On the other hand, increasing that of $2.6{\mu}m$-SiC particles produces much finer Si regions. The addition of more than 50 wt% of $2.6{\mu}m$-SiC particles, however, causes the microstructure to become partially coarse. We also evaluated their etching behaviors in terms of surface roughness (Ra), density and weight changes, and microstructure development by employing Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope (CLSM) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) techniques. During the etching process of the prepared samples, we confirmed that the residual Si region was rapidly removed and formed pits isolating SiC particles as islands. This leads to more intensified ion field on the SiC islands, and causes physical corrosion on them. Increased addition of $2.6{\mu}m$-SiC particles produces finer residual Si region, and thus decreases the surface roughness (Ra.) as well as causing weight loss after etching process by following the above etching mechanism.

Reaction-bonded silicon carbide (RBSC) is a SiC-based composite ceramic fabricated by the infiltration of molten silicon into a skeleton of SiC particles and carbon, in order to manufacture a ceramic body with full density. RBSC has been widely used and studied for many years in the SiC field, because of its relatively low processing temperature for fabrication, easy use in forming components with a near-net shape, and high density, compared with other sintering methods for SiC. A radiant tube is one of the most commonly employed ceramics components when using RBSC materials in industrial fields. In this study, the mechanical strengths of commercial RBSC tubes with different sizes are evaluated using 3-point flexural and C-ring tests. The size scaling law is applied to the obtained mechanical strength values for specimens with different sizes. The discrepancy between the flexural and C-ring strengths is also discussed.
