Abstract

To investigate the effects of Mo addition on the microstructures and mechanical properties of Al_2O_3$ ceramics, two kinds of Mo particles with average sizes of 2-${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and 6-${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ were used as additives. It was shown that Mo particles inhibited the grain growth of Al_2O_3$, and the smaller Mo particles were more effective. In case of 2-${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ Mo dispersion, the bending strength and the fracture toughness were increased. Dispersion of 6-${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ MO did not increase the strength but improved the fracture toughness a little. The toughening mechanisms of Al_2O_3$-Mo composites are thought to be the crack deflection and microcracking mechanisms.

Mo 입자의 첨가가 Al_2O_3$ 세라믹스의 미세구조와 기계적 성질에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 평균입경이 2-micron인 Mo와 6-micron인 Mo를 Al_2O_3$에 각 분산시켜 1$600^{\circ}C$, $H_2$ 분위기에서 5시간 소결하였다. Mo는 Al_2O_3$의 입자성장을 억제시켰으며 Mo의 입자가 작을 때 그 효과는 크게 나타났다. 2-micron Mo를 분산한 경우 꺽임강도와 파괴인성은 크게 증가하여하였으며, 6-micron Mo를 분산한 경우 강도는 증가하지 않았으나 파괴인성은 다소 증가하였다. Al_2O_3$-Mo계의 인성증진기구는 균열편향에 의한 파단면의 증가와 미세균열에 의한 균열전파에너지의 분산에 의한 것으로 보인다.
