SiC materials have been extensively studied for high temperature components in advanced energy conversion system and advanced gas turbine. However, the brittle characteristics of SiC such as law fracture toughness and law strain-to fracture impose a severe limitation on the practical applications of SiC materials. SiC/SiC composites can be considered as a promising candidate in various structural materials, because of their good fracture toughness. In this composite system, the direction of SiC fiber will give an effect to the mechanical properties. It is therefore important to control a properdirection of SiC fiber for the fabrication of high performance SiC/SiC composites. In this study, unidirection and two dimension woven structures of SiC/SiC composites were prepared starting from Tyranno SA fiber. SiC matrix was obtained by nano-powder infiltration and transient eutectoid (NITE) process. Effect of microstructure and density on the sintering temperature in NITE-SiC/SiC composites are described and discussed with the fiber direction of unidirection and two dimension woven structures.

This paper describes the characteristics of polycrystalline ${\beta}$ or 3C (cubic)-SiC (silicon carbide) thin films heteroepitaxailly grown on Si wafers with thermal oxide. In this work, the poly 3C-SiC film was deposited by APCVD (atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition) method using HMDS (hexamethyildisilane: $Si_{2}(CH_{3}_{6})$ single precursor. The deposition was performed under various conditions to determine the optimized growth conditions. The crystallinity of the 3C-SiC thin film was analyzed by XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), XRD (X-ray diffraction) and FT-IR (fourier transform-infrared spectometers), respectively. The surface morphology was also observed by AFM (atomic force microscopy) and voids or dislocations between SiC and $SiO_{2}$ were measured by SEM (scanning electron microscope). Finally, depth profiling was invesigated by GDS (glow discharge spectrometer) for component ratios analysis of Si and C according to the grown 3C-SiC film thickness. From these results, the grown poly 3C-SiC thin film is very good crystalline quality, surface like mirror and low defect. Therfore, the poly 3C-SiC thin film is suitable for extreme environment, Bio and RF MEMS applications in conjunction with Si micromaching.

In order to understand the difference in SiC deposition between the $CH_3SiCl_3-H_2$ and $C_3H_8-SiCl_4-H_2$ systems, we calculate the phase stability among ${\beta}$-SiC, graphite and silicon. We constructed the phase-diagram of ${\beta}$-SiC over graphite and silicon via computational thermodynamic calculation considering pressure (P), temperature (T) and gas composition (C) as variables. Both P-T-C diagrams showed a very steep phase boundary between the SiC+C and SiC region perpendicular to the H/Si axis, and also showed an SiC+Si region with a H/Si value of up to 6700 in the $C_3H_8-SiCl_4-H_2$, and 5000 in the $CH_3SiCl_3-H_2$ system. This difference in phase boundaries is explained by the ratio of Cl to Si, which is 4 for the $C_3H_8-SiCl_4-H_2$ system and 3 for the $C_3H_8-SiCl_4-H_2$ system. Because the C/Si ratio is fixed at 1 in the $CH_3SiCl_3-H_2$ system while it can be variable in the $C_3H_8-SiCl_4-H_2$ system, the functionally graded material is applicable for better mechanical bonding during SiC coating on graphite substrate in the $C_3H_8-SiCl_4-H_2$ system.

The objective of this study was to develop a synthesis process for ${\beta}$-SiC powders to reduce the synthesis temperature and to control the particle size and to prevent particle agglomeration of the synthesized ${\beta}$-SiC powders. A phenol resin and TEOS were used as the starting materials for the carbon and Si sources, respectively. $SiO_2$-C hybrid precursors with various C/Si mole ratios were fabricated using a conventional sol-gel process. ${\beta}$-SiC powders were synthesized by a carbothermal reduction process using $SiO_2$-C hybrid precursors with various C/Si mole ratios (1.6 ~ 2.5) fabricated using a sol-gel process. In this study, the effects of excess carbon and the addition of Si powders to the $SiO_2$-C hybrid precursor on the synthesis temperature and particle size of ${\beta}$-SiC were examined. It was found that the addition of metallic Si powders to the $SiO_2$/C hybrid precursor with excess carbon reduced the synthesis temperature of the ${\beta}$-SiC powders to as low as $1300^{\circ}C$. The synthesis temperature for ${\beta}$-SiC appeared to be reduced with an increase of the C/Si mole ratio in the $SiO_2$-C hybrid precursor by a direct carburization reaction between Si and excess carbon.

Continuous SiC fiber-reinforced SiC-matrix composites ($SiC_f$/SiC) had been fabricated by electrophoretic infiltration combined with ultrasonication. Nano-sized ${\beta}$-SiC added with 12 wt% of $Al_2O_3-Y_2O_3$ additive and Tyranno$^{TM}$-SA3 fabric were used as a matrix phase and fiber reinforcement, respectively. After hot pressing at 5 different conditions, the density, microstructure and mechanical properties of $SiC_f$/SiC were characterized. Hot pressing at relatively severe conditions, such as $1750^{\circ}C$ for 1 and 2 h, resulted in a brittle fracture behavior due to the strong fiber-matrix interface in spite of their high flexural strength. On the other hand, toughened $SiC_f$/SiC composite could be achieved by hot pressing at milder condition because of the formation of weak interface in spite of the decreased flexural strength. These results proposed the importance of weak fiber-matrix interface in the fabrication of ductile $SiC_f$/SiC composite.

AI-xSi/ySiC( x:6~18wt%, y: 3~9wt%, SiC 입자크기: $10~28{\mu}m$) 복합재료를 재용해한 후 항온 유지하고 응고 시킬때 SiC 입자가 몰드의 하부로 침강하는 현상을 계통적으로 조사하였다. AI-Si/SiC 복합재료 용탕을 항온으로 유지하면 입자가 없는 지역은 유지시간이 약 처음 30분 동안 빠르게 증가한다. SiC 입자가 크기가 클수록 SiC입자의 크기가 클수록 SiC입자의 침강속도가 빠르다. 또한 복합재료중 철가한 SiC 입자의 부피분율이 증가하면 입자의 침강속도는 감소한다.

$Si_{3}N_{4}$에 평균입경이 270 nm인 SiC 분말을 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 vol% 첨가하여 고온 가압소결법으로 $Si_{3}N_{4}/SiC$ 초미립복합재료를 제조하였다. 소결후 기지상인 ${\alpha}-Si_{3}N_{4}$는 ${\beta}-Si_{3}N_{4}$로 상전이하였으며, 이차상인 ${\beta}-SiC$는 변화가 없었다. 소결조제의 첨가에 의한 입계결정상은 검출되지 않았다. SiC의 첨가량이 많아짐에 따라 $Si_{3}N_{4}$ 결정립성장은 억제되어 미세한 결정입이 나타났으며, 작은 임자는 기지상 임내에 큰 SiC는 임계에 존재하였다. SiC 첨가에 따라 파괴강도는 약간 증가후 감소하였으며, 파괴인성은 감소하였고, 경도는 직선적으로 증가하였다.

The dense sintered bodies of Si/SiC composite with various Si contents could be fabricated by changing the green density in the forming process. The Si/SiC/graphite composites with various graphite contents could be also fabricated by changing a graphite content in the starting composition. Their mechanical and tribological properties were characterized and wear mechanism was also studided. The hardness and strength of the Si/SiC and the Si/SiC/graphite were decreased with increasing the contents of free Si and graphite, respectively. However, the friction coefficient and specific wear rate had no specific relations to their hardness and strength. Adhesion of free Si was a main factor to determine a wear resistance of the Si/SiC composite. In the case of the Si/SiC/graphite, solid lubricationl and liquid reservoir of the graphite particles played the main role of the reduction of the friction force. In the torque test to estimate the possibility of practical of practical applications, the value of torque between the Al2O3 disk and Si/SiC/graphite disk was 1/6 lower compared with two $Al_2O_3$ disks on the basis of 100,000 cycles.

$SiC_f$/SiC 복합재를 제작하여, $SiC_f$/SiC 복합재의 섬유배향 방향에 따르는 마모 특성을 평가하고, 마모시에 발생하는 탄성파를 검출하고 분석하였다. $SiC_f$/SiC 복합재는 섬유의 종 횡방향에 의한 마찰계수와 마모손실은 비슷하였으나, 섬유의 수직방향은 가장 작은 값을 나타내었다. 이것은 섬유의 취성 특성 때문이라 판단되며, 마모손실과 마찰계수는 정비례의 관계를 나타내었다. SiC 단상재의 탁월주파수는 58.6 kHz를 나타내고, $SiC_f$/SiC 복합재의 탁월주파수는 117.2와 136.7 kHz였다.
