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.

In order to investigate the catalytic mechanism for the growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), a comprehensive study was conducted using carbon materials synthesized at 680 ${^{\circ}C}$ with a gas mixture of CO-H$_2$ after reduction at 800 ${^{\circ}C}$ by H$_2$ gas from iron oxide, and metal Pt. The resulting material was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction patterns (XRD) after a variety of reaction times. The carbon materials synthesized by metal Pt were little affected by reaction time and the sintered particles did not form CNTs. Xray analysis revealed that metal Fe was completely converted to iron carbide (Fe$_3$C) without Fe peaks in the early stage. After 5 min, iron carbide (Fe$_3$C) and carbon (C) phases were observed at the beginning of CNTs growth. It was found that the intensity of the carbon(C) peak gradually increased with the continuous growth of CNTs as reaction time increases. It was also found that the catalyst of growth of CNTs was metal carbide.

The effects of clay, aluminum hydroxide, and carbon powder on the sintering of a Si/SiC mixture from photovoltaic silicon-wafer production were investigated. Sintering temperature was fixed at $1,350^{\circ}C$ and the sintered bodies were characterized by SEM and XRD to analyze the microstructure and to measure the apparent porosity, absorptivity, and apparent density. The XRD peak intensity of SiC in the sintered body was increased by adding 5% carbon to the Si/SiC mixture. From this result, it is confirmed that Si in the Si/SiC mixture had reacted with the added carbon. Addition of aluminum hydroxide decreased the cristobalite phase and increased the stable mullite phase. The measurement of the physical properties indicates that adding carbon to the Si/SiC mixture enables us to obtain a dense sintered body that has high apparent density and low absorptivity. The sintered body produced from the Si/SiC mixture with aluminum hydroxide and carbon powder as sintering additives can be applied to diesel particulate filters or to heat storage materials, etc., since it possesses high thermal conductivity, and anticorrosion and antioxidation properties.

가압유동층 복합발전용으로 사용 가능한 탄화규소 캔들형 필터를 압출성형법으로 제조하였다. 필터의 기공율을 조절하기 위해 2.5 vol%의 탄소분말을 첨가하였고, 필터의 강도를 부여하기 위해 무기결합제로써 점토와 $CaCO_3$를 첨가하였다. 평균 기공율이 약 40%, 평균 기공크기가 약 $47{\mu}m$인 지지체 위에 평균 기공크기가 약 $10{\mu}m$를 갖도록 탄화규소 분말을 분무 코팅하였고, 이후 대기압 분위기 하에서 1400${\circ}C$의 온도로 소결하였다. 코팅층이 형성된 캔들형 필터를 500${\circ}C$, $5kgf/cm^2$의 고온, 고압 하에서 성능평가를 행한 결과 입자크기별 집진 성능이 모두 99.99% 이상을 나타내었다. 따라서 제조된 탄화규소 캔들형 필터는 가압유동층 연소가스에 포함되어 있는 미세한 먼지를 효과적으로 제거할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

Powder mixtures of $\beta$-SiC-TiC in a weight ratio of 2:1 containing 5-20 wt% additives ($Al_2O_3$-$Y_2O_3$) were liquid-phase sintered at $1830^{\circ}C$ for 1h by hot-pressing and subsequently annealed at $1950^{\circ}C$ for 6h to enhance grain growth. The annealed specimens revealed a microstructure of \"in situ-toughened composite\" as a result of the $\beta$longrightarrow$\alpha$ phase transformation of SiC during annealing. The increase of the content of additives accelerated the growth of elongated $\alpha$-SiC grains with higher aspect ratio and improved fracture toughness. The fracture toughness of SiC-TiC composite containing 20 wt% additive was 6.2 MPa.$m^{1/2}$.2}$.

This study involved the fabrication of precision machine tools using a polycrystalline diamond tip [sintered PCD and cemented carbide (WC-Co) tip] and WC-Co shanks via diffusion bonding with a paste-type nickel alloy filler metal. Diffusion bonding is a process whereby two materials are pressed together at high temperature and high pressure for a sufficient period of time to allow significant atomic diffusion to occur. For smooth progress, a filler metal of nickel alloy was used at the interface. Optical microscopy images were used to observe the copula of the bonded layer. It was confirmed that cracks occurred near the junction in all cases. The tensile strength of the bond was measured using a universal testing machine (UTM) with WC-Co proportional test specimens.

Development of texture in SiC materials by hot-pressing and subsequent annealing was studied. Crystallographic texture type was characterized by measuring X-ray pole figures on the perpendicular plane to the hot-pressing direction. Observed all pole figures were nearly axially symmetric (fiber texture). In case of ${\beta}$-SiC materials, the pole density of basal plane (0004) increased as annealing time increased, in contrast, other planes (hkil) of ${\beta}$-SiC materials and all planes of ${\alpha}$-SiC materials nearly remained unchanged. In the case of ${\beta}$-SiC materials, therefore, a weak texture of (0001) plane at the normal direction took place in the 8h annealed samples, resulting from grian growth. The fracture toughness values of ${\alpha}$-SiC materials measured in both planes parallel and perpendicular to the hot-pressing direction were very similar. However, the fracture toughness of ${\beta}$-SiC materials measured parallel to the hot-pressing direction were higher than that measured perpendicular to the hot-pressing derection, relatively, because of the texture and the microstructure anisotropy.

계면유도 침전법을 이용, 알루미나와 이트리아를 코팅한 SiC 분말을 사용하여 제조된 탄화규소의 물성을 관찰하였다. $Al_2(SO_4)_3$과 $Y_2(SO_4)_3$의 수용액에서 요소를 분해시켜 수화물 및 탄화물의 전구체로 구성된 석출물을 SiC의 분말 표면에 코팅한 후 하소하여 알루미나와 이트리아가 코팅된 탄화규소 시편을 제조하였다. $1900^{\circ}C$에서 소결한 탄화규소는 약 97.8%의 소결밀도를 나타내었으며, 소결 후 annealing을 행한 시편은 $\beta$상 탄화규소에서 $\alpha$상 탄화규소로의 상전이가 일어나 주상입자가 형성되었다. 균열 전파시 주상입자를 중심으로 입계간 균열(intergranular crack)이 일어났으며, 주상입자의 pullout 효과 의한 균열길이의 증가로 SiC 소결체의 인성이 증진되는 것으로 나타났다. annealing 시간이 3시간 이내인 경우에는 소결조제의 첨가량이 적은 시편의 파괴인성치가 높았으나 그 차이는 미미하였고, annealing 시간이 길어짐에 따라 소결조제의 양에 따른 인성의 차이는 거의 나타나지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 annealing 시간이 길어짐에 따라 입자의 정단축비(aspect ratio)가 커지고 주성입자에 의한 pullout 효과가 인성증진의 주된 인자가 되어, 소결조제의 양과 관련된 영향이 적었기 때문인 것으로 사료되었다.
