Dispersed type Al2O3-SiC composite powders were synthesized from Al-isopropoxide (Al(i-OC3H7)3) and Si(OC2H5)4 precursors by hydrolysis of mixed alkoxides and carbothermal reaction method. The characteristics of the synthesized (dispersed type) Al2O3-SiC composite powders were investigated using XRD, SEM, TEM, BET and particle size analyzer. Carbothermal reaction to produce Al2O3-SiC composite was completed in 10h at 135$0^{\circ}C$ on 3~4㎤/s (0.21~0.28cm/s) of H2 flow rate and about 1/1 of carbon/oxides(=SiO2＋Al2O3) molar ratio. The synthesized powders were observed to have the mean particle size range of 0.4~1.26${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and showed finer particle size with increasing SiC content.

The alumina-zirconia composite powders of core particle ZrO2 coated with Al2O3 were prepared by the hydrolysis-deposition of the mixed aluminum salt solution of Al2(SO4)3-Al(NO3)3-Urea. The effects of hydrolysis reaction and coating parameters on characteristics of coated powders and composites were also investigated. The degree of coating could be estimated from the ratio of tetra-/mono-ZrO2 present at the room temperature after heat-treating coated powders at 120$0^{\circ}C$ and the result of TEM observations. When the content of ZrO2 in the dispersed coating system, the coating time, and the volume ratio of water/solution were 50 mg/g, 180 min, and 5, respectively the coating efficiency was maximum (the ratio of tetra-/mono-ZrO2 was 87/13). The relative densities of coated Al2O3-ZrO2 composites sintered at 1$650^{\circ}C$ for 4 hrs were about 91~98% and the maximum ratio of tetra-/mono-ZrO2 in Al2O3-20wt% ZrO2 composites was 62/38.

From alumina powder and TEOS, $\alpha$-Al2O3/SiO2 composite powder for reaction-sintered mullite was synthesized by heterogeneous coagulation and surface coating, and investigated the mullitization reaction and sintering behavor of these powders. In $\alpha$-Al2O3/SiO2 composite powder prepared by heterogeneous coagulation, each alumina particles were surrounded by silica particles of 50~60 nm in size. And the alumina particles in composite powder prepared by surface coating were coated by uniform silica layer with thickness of 50 nm. In both methods, mullitization reaction was completed at 1$650^{\circ}C$ for 3h, and specimen sintered above 145$0^{\circ}C$ was about 95% fo the theoretical relative density. Mullite grains formed from the reaction with composite powders showed spherical shape with a size of 1~2${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$.

뮬라이트 preform과 비정질 실리카를 알루미늄 용융체에서 $1100^{\circ}C$, 5시간 동안 반응시켜 $Al/Al_2O_3$복합체가 제조되었다. 뮬라이트 preform과 알루미늄 용융체 간의 화학적 반응은 상호 연결된 미세구조를 형성하였다. $Al/Al_2O_3$복합체의 금속의 양은 뮬라이트 preform의 소결 온도($1600^{\circ}C$, $1625^{\circ}C$, $1650^{\circ}C$, $1700^{\circ}C$)에 따른 겉보기 기공율의 변수로서 조절되었으며, 복합체의 기계적 특성들은 알루미늄 양에 따라 조사되었다. $1600^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서 소결된 뮬라이트 preform은 침투된 알루미늄 용융체와 화학반응을 이루었으나, $1600^{\circ}C$에서 소결된 뮬라이트 소결체는 알루미늄 용융체에 대해 젖음이 이루어지지 않아 화학반응이 진행되지 않았다. 알루미늄 용융체의 침투 방향에 따른 복합체의 기계적 특성에 대한 영향은 알루미늄 용융체의 수직, 평행한 침투 방향 패턴의 두 가지 다른 모델들에 의해 고려되었다. $Al/Al_2O_3$복합체에서 알루미늄의 양의 증가에 따라 파괴강도는 감소하였으며, 파괴인성은 증가하는 경향을 나타냈다.$ Al/Al_2O_3$복합체의 미세구조는 금속의 침투 방향에 의해 결정되었지만, 복합체의 파괴강도와 파괴인성은 금속 침투 방향에 대한 의존성은 나타내지 않았다.

Ni-W/Al₂O₃ nano-composites were electrodeposited on mild steel substrate for mechanical and corrosion resistance applications. This study focused on the preparation of Ni-W/Al₂O₃ nano-composite coating with various quantity of Al₂O₃ incorporations. The addition of Al₂O₃ in the electrolytes were varied from 1-10 g/L in electrolytes and the Al₂O₃ incorporation in Ni-W/Al₂O₃ nano-composite coatings were obtained from 1.82 to 13.86 wt.%. The incorporation of Al₂O₃ in Ni-W alloy matrix influenced the grain size, surface morphology and structural properties were observed. The distributions of Al₂O₃ particle in alloy matrix were confirmed using electron microscopy (FESEM and TEM) and EDAX mapping analysis. The crystal structure informations were studied using X-ray diffraction method and it confirms that the deposits having cubic crystal structure. The better corrosion rate (0.87 mpy) and microhardness (965 HV) properties were obtained for the Ni-W/Al₂O₃ nano-composite coating with 13.86 wt.% of Al₂O₃ incorporations.

In the present study, (10%$Al_2O_3$+5%Si)/AZ91 Mg hybrid composite was fabricated using the squeeze casting method. During squeeze casting, molten Mg was infiltrated into the preform of 10%$Al_2O_3$+5%Si and reaction product of $Mg_2Si$ intermetallic compound was formed by the reaction between molten Mg and Si powder. Microstructure has been observed and mechanical properties were evaluated for the reaction squeeze cast (RSC) hybrid composite. It was found that Si powder totally reacted with molten Mg to form $Mg_2Si$. Reinforcement ($Al_2O_3$) and the reaction product ($Mg_2Si$) are fairly uniformly distributed in Mg matrix for the squeeze cast hybrid composite. Mechanical properties were improved with hybridization of reinforcements, namely higher hardness and enhanced wear resistance comparing squeeze cast (15%$Al_2O_3$)/AZ91 Mg composite.

A stacked high-voltage (900 V) Al electrolytic capacitor made with ZrO₂ coated anode foils, which has not been studied so far, is realized and the effects of Zr-Al-O composite layer on the electric properties are discussed. Etched Al foils coated with ZrO₂ sol are anodized in 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol (MPD)-boric acid electrolyte. The anodized Al foils are assembled with stacked structure to prepare the capacitor. The capacitance and dissipation factor of the capacitor with ZrO₂ coated anode foils increase by 41 % and decrease by 50 %, respectively, in comparison with those of Al anode foils. Zr-Al-O composite dielectric layer is formed between separate crystalline ZrO₂ with high dielectric constant and amorphous Al₂O₃ with high ionic resistivity. This work suggests that the formation of a composite layer by coating valve metal oxide on etched Al foil surface and anodizing it in MPD-boric acid electrolyte is a promising approach for high voltage and volume efficiency of capacitors.

An optimum route to fabricate the ferrous alloy dispersed $Al_2O_3$ nanocomposites such as $Al_2O_3$/Fe-Ni and $Al_2O_3$/Fe-Co with sound microstructure and desired properties was investigated. The composites were fabricated by the sintering of powder mixtures of $Al_2O_3$ and nano-sized ferrous alloy, in which the alloy was prepared by solution-chemistry routes using metal nitrates powders and a subsequent hydorgen reduction process. Microstructural observation of reduced powder mixture revealed that the Fe-Ni or Fe-Co alloy particles of about 20 nm in size homogeneously surrounded $Al_2O_3$, forming nanocomposite powder. The sintered $Al_2O_3$/Fe-Ni composite showed the formation of Fe$Al_2O_4$ phase, while the reaction phases were not observed in $Al_2O_3$/Fe-Co composite. Hot-pressed $Al_2O_3$/Fe-Ni composite showed improved mechanical properties and magnetic response. The properties are discussed in terms of microstructural characteristics such as the distribution and size of alloy particles.

Coated type Al2O3-SiC composite powders were synthesized by surface modification method. Transformation temperature to $\alpha$-Al2O3 of Al2O3 monolith was 115$0^{\circ}C$ whereas increased to 1200, 1250, 130$0^{\circ}C$ with increment of SiC content to 5, 15, 25wt%. Transformation temperature to $\alpha$-Al2O3 was lowered by $\alpha$-Al2O3 seeding. FTIR data analysis and electron micrographs showed that Al2O3 particles were effectively coated on SiC particles.

R-curve measurements were performed on Al2O3(matrix)-ZrO2-SiC whisker composite and Al2O3-ZrO2, Al2O3-SiC whisker composites in the favor of comparing the effect of ZrO2 and SiC whisker, as a second phase, to Al2O3 matrix. Al2O3-SiC whisker and Al2O3-ZrO2-SiC whisker were fabricated by hot pressing at 1$700^{\circ}C$, 15MPa and Al2O3-ZrO2 by pressureless sintering at 1$600^{\circ}C$. A controlled flaw/strength technique was utilized to determine fracture resistance as a function of crack extension and R-curve behaviour was determined from the relationship which is KR=K0(Δa)m. R-curveresults were KR=6.173$\times$Δa0.031 for Al2O3-ZrO2, KR=18.796$\times$Δa0.172 for Al2O3-SiC whisker and KR=11.96$\times$Δa0.110 for Al2O3-ZrO2-SiC whisker composite. From the analysis of R-curve and expeirmental data above three composites, it is found that R-curve behaviour of Al2O3-ZrO2-SiC whisker composite was dominated initially by the strengthening effect of ZrO2 and after, some extended crack were influenced by the effect of SiC whisker. Analysis of SEM and X-ray data revealed that whisker bridging in the crack wake and whisker pull-out mechanisms were the main mechanism for the R-curve behaviour.
