For the purpose of investigating the effect of sintering atmosphere and carbon addition on sintered density and microstructural characteristics, the M3/2 grade high speed steel powders with the addition of carbon are sintered in vacuum and $20%H_2/79%N_2/l%CH_4$ gas atmosphere. With the addition of 0 wt%C, 0.45wt%C and 1.15 wt%C the optimum sintering temperatures decrease down to $1260^{\circ}C$, $1210^{\circ}C$ and $1150^{\circ}C$ respectively for the vacuum sintered specimen, and also decrease down to $1130^{\circ}C$, $1120^{\circ}C$ and $1115^{\circ}C$ for the gas sintered specimen. The threshold temperatures for full densification decrease steeply with increasing carbon content of the sintered specimen, while this temperatures are slowly decreased at high carbon content. The vacuum sintered specimen shows the primary carbides of MC and $M_6C$ type at the optimum sintering temperature, and eutectic carbides of $M_2C$ and Fe-Cr type are produced in the oversintered specimen. The gas sintered specimen exhibits M6C and Fe-Cr type primary carbides at the optimum sintering temperature. The eutectic carbides of $M_6C$ and Fe-Cr type and MX type carbonitride are shown for the oversintered specimen in the gas atmosphere. The hardness of gas sintered specimen shows high value of 830-860 Hv due to the increment of carbide precipitation.

2, 5, 10 mol% YAG(yttrium aluminum garnet) 분말을 액상 소결조제로 $\alpha$상 탄화규소 분말에 첨가한 후 $1850^{\circ}C$에서 소결시간을 달리하여 소결체를 제조한 다음, 소결시 일어나는 미세구조 변화를 첨가된 액상량과 소결시간의 변화에 대하여 고찰하였다. 각 조성중 2시간 소결한 시편에서 가장 높은 밀도를 나타냈으며, 소결시간이 길수록 액상의 기화로 인하여 중량감소량이 점차 증가하였다. 또한 첨가된 YAG 액상량이 증가할 수록 상대밀도(apparent density)와 중량감소량은 증가하였으나 입성장속도는 감소하였다. 액상량이 적은 시편에서는 소결시간이 길수록 일부 6H상의 탄화규소 입자가 4H상 탄화규소 입자로 상전이 되었으며, 이로 인하여 막대상 입자들이 일부 존재하였다.

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.

Reaction bonded silicon carbide(RBSC) composite for heat-exchanger was fabricated by molten Si infiltration method. The raw materials with variable particle sizes were used in this experience. The finer the particle size in sintered silicon carbide was the more increasing 3-point bending strength and fracture toughness. As the adaptable particle sizes had been occupied interstice arising from packing sample, the mechanical properties were increased. In the PCS1-1 sample, the 3-point bending strength and fracture toughness were 323MPa and $4.9\;MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$, respectively.

Molybdenum silicide has gained interest for high temperature structural applications. However, poor fracture toughness at room temperatures and low creep resistance at elevated temperatures have hindered its practical applications. This study uses a novel powder metallurgical approach applied to uniformly mixed molybdenum silicide-based composites with silicon carbide. The degree of powder mixing with different ball milling time is also demonstrated by Voronoi diagrams. Core-shell composite powder with Mo nanoparticles as the shell and ${\beta}-SiC$ as the core is prepared via chemical vapor transport. Using this prepared core-shell composite powder, the molybdenum silicide-based composites with uniformly dispersed ${\beta}-SiC$ are fabricated using pressureless sintering. The relative density of the specimens sintered at $1500^{\circ}C$ for 10 h is 97.1%, which is similar to pressure sintering owing to improved sinterability using Mo nanoparticles.

Silicon carbide materials undergo an oxidation reaction in a high-temperature oxidizing environment and show different characteristics depending on the test temperature and time. In particular, the added oxides form a secondary phase within the sintering process and exhibit different oxidation characteristics depending on the added sintering materials. Therefore, to evaluate the oxidation characteristics, the weight of the test piece and the thickness of the oxidation layer were observed, and the structure and oxidation characteristics of the material were analyzed using SEM. SEM observation showed that an oxide layer was formed on the surface of the liquid sintered silicon carbide material after it was oxidized at 1200 ℃, 1300 ℃, and 1400 ℃ for 10 hours, respectively. Then, a bending test was performed at each temperature on the test piece with the oxidation layer formed to evaluate the change in flexural strength. The strength was 466.6 MPa at 1200 ℃, 363.1 MPa at 1300 ℃, and 350.8 MPa at 1400 ℃. Al₂O₃-SiO₂ oxidized at 1200 ℃ for 10 hours showed an increase in strength of about 21.0 MPa compared to the data before the oxidation test.

Ceramic materials have excellent material properties such as stability at high temperatures, chemical stability, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance, so they are applicable even in extreme environments of high temperature and pressure. In particular, silicon carbide can be applied in the field of structural ceramics due to its characteristics of high strength, hardness, corrosion resistance, and heat resistance even at high temperatures. In this study, considering the application of silicon carbide materials to next-generation turbines, silicon carbide materials were manufactured using a liquid phase sintering method. When manufacturing liquid phase sintered silicon carbide, sintering additives were added to lower the sintering temperature and densify the material. In Al₂O₃-SiO₂, it was confirmed that the secondary product of the sintering additive was observed as a slightly dark area and was evenly distributed overall, and the fracture surface of Al₂O₃-SiO₂ was in the form of transgranular fracture in which cracks progressed along the crystal plane, and the flexural strength for Al₂O₃-SiO₂ was about 445.6 MPa.

By using {{{{ { { {Y }_{3 }Al }_{5 }O }_{12 } }} (YAG) and SiO2 as sintering additives the effect of the composition of sintering ad-ditives on microstructure and mechanical properties of the hog-pressed and subsequently annealed SiC ma-terials were investigated. Microstructures of sintered and annealed materials were strongly dependent onthe composition of sintering additives. The average diameter and volume fraction of elongated grains in an-nealed materials increased with the SiO2/YAg ratio while the fracture toughness increased with the SiO2/YAg ratio. The average MPa.{{{{ { m}^{1/2 } }} respectively. Typical strength and fracture toughness of an annealed material with SiO2/YAg ra-tionof 0.67 were 371 MPa and 5.6 MPa.{{{{ { m}^{1/2 } }} respectively.

Silicon carbide ceramics seeded with 10-30 wt% SiC whiskers are fabricated by hot pressing and annealing. A quantitative texture analysis including calculation of the Orientation Distribution Function (ODF) is used for obtaining the degrees of preferred orientation of the fabricated samples. The microstructure and crystallographic texture are discussed with respect to the effect of ${\beta}-SiC$ whisker seeds on the resulting fracture toughness values. The SEM microstructures and the texture data reveal a correlation between texture and fracture toughness anisotropy.
