Abstract
The effect of grain shape on the grain growth behavior of oxide system was investigated as afunction of liquid content during liquid phase sintering. As a model system, the solid grains of $Al_{2}O_{3}$ and MgO were selected during liquid phase sintering, i.e. faceted shape of $Al_{2}O_{3}$ in $CaAl_{2}Si_{2}O_{8}$ liquid phase and spherical shape of MgO in $CaMgSiO_{4}$ liquid phase. The average grain size of MgO with spherical shape was decreased with increasing the liquid phase content, whereas that of $Al_{2}O_{3}$ with faceted shape was independent of liquid phase content. In the case of $Al_{2}O_{3}$ grains with faceted shape, which interfaces are expected to be atomically flat, are likely to grow by the interfacial reaction controled process. Whereas, in the case of MgO grains with spherical shape, which interface are expected to be atomically rough, are likely to grow by the diffusion controlled process.
산화물계의 액상소결시 액상량을 변수로 하여 입자형성이 입자성장 거동에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 산화물계 모델로 구형입자의 경우는 MgO$CaMgSiO_{4}$계를 선택하였으며, 각진입자의 경우는 $Al_{2}O_{3}$/ $CaAl_{2}Si_{2}O_{8}$계를 선택하였다. 구형입자인 MgO의 경우 액상량 증가에 따라 입자크기가 감소하였으나,각진입자인 $Al_{2}O_{3}$ 입자의 경우는 계면지배과정에 의해 성장하는 반면, 거친 고상/액상계면을 지닐 것으로 예상되는 구형 MgO입자의 경우는 확산지배과정에 의해 성장하였다.
