Abstract

Rapid densification of a SiC-30 wt% TiC powder with additive 10 wt% A1$_2$O$_3$-Y$_2$O$_3$-CaO was conducted by Spark Plasma Sintering(SPS). The fully-densified materials can be obtain through the SPS process with very fast heating rate and short holding time. In the present work, the heating rate and applied pressure were kept to be $100^{\circ}C$/min and 40 MPa, while sintering temperature varied from $1600^{\circ}C$ to $1800^{\circ}C$ for 10 min. The full densification of SiC-30 wt% TiC composites with the addition of $Al_2$O$_3$, $Y_2$O$_3$ and CaO was achieved at the temperature above $1700^{\circ}C$ by spark plasma sintering. The XRD found that 3C-SiC and TiC were maintained the entire SPS process temperature, without phase transformation of SiC and formation of YAG phase to $1800^{\circ}C$. The microstructures of the rapidly densified SiC-30 wt% TiC composites consisted of smaller equiaxed SiC grains and larger TiC grains. The biaxial strength of 635.2 MPa and fracture toughness of 6.12 MPaㆍ$m^{1/2}$ were found for the specimen prepared at $1750^{\circ}C$.

10 wt% A1$_2$O$_3$-Y$_2$O$_3$-CaO를 첨가한 SiC-30 wt% TiC 분말을 스파크 플라즈마 소결(SPS) 방법을 사용하여 급속 치밀화 하였다. SPS 공정은 매우 빠른 승온 속도와 짧은 시간에 완전 치밀한 시편을 얻을 수 있다. 본 실험에서, 승온 속도와 압력은 $100^{\circ}C$/min과 40MPa이고, 소결 온도 범위는$1600^{\circ}C$~$1800^{\circ}C$이었으며, 10min 동한 유지하였다. $Al_2$O$_3$, $Y_2$O$_3$ 및 CaO를 첨가한 SiC-30 wt% TiC 복합체는 $1700^{\circ}C$ 이상 온도에서 스파크 플라즈마 소결 방법으로 완전 치밀화가 이루어졌다. 모든 SPS 공정 온도에서 탄화큐소으 상전이나 YAG 결정상의 형성 없이 3C-SiC와 TiC 만이 XRD에서 나타났다. 급속 소결한 SiC-30 wt% TiC 복합체의 미세구조는 비교적 작은 등축상 SiC 결정립과 비교적 큰 TiC 결정립으로 구성되었다. $1750^{\circ}C$에서 제조한 시편의 이축강도능 635.2MPa이고, 파괴인성은 6.12 MPaㆍ$m^{1/2}$이었다.
