In the present work, hot workability of particulate-reinforced Al6061-20%SiC composite produced by direct hot extrusion technique was studied. Uniaxial hot compression test at various temperatures and strain rates was used and the workability behavior was evaluated from the flow curves and the attendant microstructures. It was shown that the presence of SiC particles in the soft Al6061 matrix deteriorates the hot workability. Bulging of the specimens and flow lines were observed, which indicate the plastic instability during hot working. Microstructure of the composites after hot deformation was found to be heterogeneous, i.e. the reinforcement clusters were observed at the flow lines. The mechanism of deformation was found to be controlled primarily by dynamic recrystallization.

In this study, we investigate the recycling of aluminum-based metal matrix composites(AMCs) embedded with SiC particulates. The microstructure of the AMCs is characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The possibility of recycling the composite scrap is attempted from the melted alloy and SiC particulates by re-melting, holding and solidification in crucibles. The recovery percentage of the matrix alloy is calculated after a number of holding times, 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 minutes and for different particulate sizes and weight fractions in the Al matrix. The results show that the recovery percentage of the matrix alloy, as well as the time required for maximum recovery of the matrix, is dependent on the size and weight fraction of SiC particulates. In addition, the percentage recovery increases with particulate size but drops with the particulate fraction in the matrix. The time to reach maximum recovery falls rapidly with an increase in particulate size and fraction.

전구체로서 알콕사이드[Tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), Titanium (IV) isopropoxide (TiP)]를 사용하여 졸-겔 방법으로 전기방사에 적합한 졸을 제조한 후, $(1-x)SiO_2-(x)TiO_2$계 복합 나노섬유를 제조하였다. 제조된 광활성 무기나노섬유의 표면 및 구조적 특성은 X-선회절분석(XRD), 주사전자현미경(SEM), 투과전자현미경(TEM), 열중량분석 및 미분주사칼로리미터분석 (TGA-DSC), 적외선분광분석((FT-IR)을 통하여 확인하였다. $(1-x)SiO_2-(x)TiO_2$계에서 $TiO_2$ 양이 증가하면 전기방사된 복합섬유직경은 증가하였으며, 저온에서 안정한 아나타제 $TiO_2$ 결정에서 루타일로의 상전이는 $1000^{\circ}C$에서의 열처리 후에도 고루 분산되어 있는 $SiO_2$로 인해 $0.6SiO_2-0.4TiO_2$계까지는 아나타제상으로 존재하였다. $SiO_2-TiO_2$계 복합체 나노섬유의 광활성은 메틸렌블루 광분해 실험 및 UV-vis/DRS 분석을 통해 자외선 영역에서 나타남을 확인하였다.

In the present study, the effects of Al/SiC interface reaction and the formation of $Al_4C_3$ compounds on the mechanical properties of the Al/SiC composites prepared by squeeze casting were investigated. After squeeze casting, the size of dendrites in Al without whiskers were larger than those with whiskers. The hardness of composite materials (about 72 Hv) was found to be approximating 40% higher than that of matrix metal (29Hv), which gradually increases which heat treatment Time showing maximum hardness at 12hr. The observation of increasing number of compounds in 12hrs heat treatment suggests that these compounds are responsible for the increase of hardness. By X-ray diffraction studies, those compounds were identified as $Al_4C_3$, (Al, Si). And intensity of Si peak increased. The tensile strengh of composite materials was gradually decresed by heat tretment, which was in contrast to the behavior of hardeness. With incresing heat tretment time, the fracture mode of composite materials was changed from large dimples and pull-out form of fiber to the fracture and rupture foum of fiber.

In this work, the effect of chemical treatments on surface properties of SiC was investigated in mechanical interfacial properties of carbon fibers-reinforced composites. The surface properties of the SiC were determined by acid/base values and contact angles. The thermal stabilities of carbon fibers-reinforced composites were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Also, the mechanical interfacial properties of the composites were studied in interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) and critical strain energy release rate mode II $(G_{IIC})$ measurements. As a result, tile acidically treated SiC (A-SiC) had higher acid value than that of untreated SiC (V-SiC) or basically treated SiC (B-SiC). According to the contact angle measurements, it was observed that chemical treatments led to an increase of surface free energy of the SiC surfaces, mainly due to the increase of the specific (polar) component. The mechanical interfacial properties of the composites, including ILSS and $(G_{IIC})$, had been improved in the specimens treated by chemical solutions. These results were explained that good wetting played an important role in improving the degree of adhesion at interfaces between SiC and epoxy resin matrix.

세라믹 방열 복합체의 특성 비교를 위해 casting method로 제작하였으며, 이들의 광학적 이미지와 단면 FE-SEM 분석을 실시하였다. 각각의 복합체의 열전도성 특성을 비교 분석하였으며, silicon carbide(SiC)의 분산도 문제를 해결하기 위해 wetting process를 도입하여 SiC/epoxy 복합체를 제작하였다. 기존의 방법에서 발견된 복합체 내공극과 분산도 문제가 wetting process를 통해 향상되었으며, 충전제 함량에 따른 열전도성 특성을 분석하였다. SiC 복합체의 함량에 따른 공극률 해석을 통해 70 wt% SiC 복합체에서 가장 높은 열전도도 값을 보였으며, 이들의 단면 FE-SEM 분석을 통해 복합체 내의 충전제 분산도를 확인하였다.

This study highlights a novel method and mechanism for the rapid and effective milling of carbon fibers (CFs) in silicon carbide (SiC) powder, and also the dispersion of CFs in SiC powder. The composite powders were prepared by chopping and exfoliation of CFs, and ball milling of CFs and SiC powder in isopropyl alcohol. A wide range of CFs loading, from 10 to 50 vol%, was studied. The milling of CFs and SiC powder was checked by measuring the average particle size of the composite powders. The dispersivity of CFs in SiC powder was checked through scanning electron microscope. The results show that the usage of exfoliated CF tows resulted in a rapid and effective milling of CFs and SiC powder. The results further show an excellent dispersion of CFs in SiC powder for all CFs loading without any dispersing agent.

Conductive and dielectric SiC are fabricated using electroless plating of Ni-Fe films on SiC chopped fibers to obtain lightweight and high-strength microwave absorbers. The electroless plating of Ni-Fe films is achieved using a two-step process of surface sensitizing and metal plating. The complex permeability and permittivity are measured for the composite specimens with the metalized SiC chopped fibers dispersed in a silicone rubber matrix. The original non-coated SiC fibers exhibit considerable dielectric losses. The complex permeability spectrum does not change significantly with the Ni-Fe coating. Moreover, dielectric constant is sensitively increased with Ni-Fe coating, owing to the increase of the space charge polarization. The improvements in absorption capability (lower reflection loss and small matching thickness) are evident with Ni-Fe coating on SiC fibers. For the composite SiC fibers coated with Ni-Fe thin films, a -35 dB reflection loss is predicted at 7.6 GHz with a matching thickness of 4 mm.

최근 선진국에서 강화되고 있는 CAFE(Corporate Average Fuel Economy :기업평균연비) 규제를 극복하기 위해서는 차량의 경량화가 필수적이며 이를 위해 기존의 금속재료에 비하여 비강도, 탄성계수, 인성등이 우수한 기계적 성질을 가지면서 고분자 기지의 복합재료에 비해서 고온강도, 전기 및 열전도도와 내마모성이 우수한 금속기지 복합재료의 개발은 필수적이고도 중요한 위치를 차지한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 자동차용 부품재 및 일반산업용 재료로 사용되고 있는 AC4A Al합금에 Si$C_w$prefohm을 용탕 단조법으로 강화하여 복합재료를 제조란 후 matrix와 함계 기계적성질, 마멸특성, 조직실험을 행한 결과 용탕 단조법에 의한 AC4A/Si$C_w$ 복합재료의 최적 제조조건은 용탕온도 80$0^{\circ}C$, 금형은도 40$0^{\circ}C$, preform은도 750-80$0^{\circ}C$, 가압압력 75MPa이었으며 Si$C_w$강화재가 I/M재에 비하여 경도값은 두배이상으로 상승하였고 Si$C_w$ 20v/o에서는 가압에 의한 큰 효과는 없었다.

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.
