Properties of SiC Electrocondutive Ceramic Composites according to Transition Metal

천이금속 영향에 따른 SiC계 도전성 세라믹 복합체의 특성

The composites were fabricated, respectively, using 61vol.% SiC - 39vol.% $TiB_2$ and using 61vol.% SiC 39vol.% WC powders with the liquid forming additives of 12wt% $Al_2O_3+Y_2O_3$ by pressureless annealing at 1800$^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours. Reactions between SiC and transition metal $TiB_2$, WC were not observed in this microstructure. The result of phase analysis of composites by XRD revealed SiC(6H), $TiB_2$ and YAG($Al_5Y_3O_{12}$) crystal phase on the SiC-$TiB_2$, and SiC(2H), WC and YAG($Al_5Y_3O_{12}$) crystal phase on the SiC-WC composites. ${\beta}{\rightarrow}{\alpha}$-SiC phase transformation was ocurred on the SiC-$TiB_2$, but ${\alpha}{\rightarrow}{\beta}$-SiC reverse transformation was not occurred on the SiC-WC composites. The relative density, the flexural strength showed respectively value of 96.2%, 310.19Mpa in SiC-WC composites. The electrical resistivity of the SiC-$TiB_2$ and the SiC-WC composites is all positive temperature cofficient resistance(PTCR) in the temperature ranges from 25$^{\circ}C$ to 500$^{\circ}C$.
