초록

방전 플라즈마 소결법을 적용하여 $Al_2O_3$-SiC 나노 복합체를 150$0^{\circ}C$ 이하의 온도에서 완전치밀화를 이루었다. 제조된 $Al_2O_3$-SiC 복합체는 이상 결정립 성장 없이 매우 균질한 미세구조를 형성하고 있는데, 첨가된 SiC 입자는 주로 결정립 내 및 결정립계에 존재하면서 $Al_2O_3$기지상에서 결정립 성장을 억제하는데 매우 유호하였음을 확인 할 수 있다. 한편, SiC 입자의 첨가는 크랙 회절 및 브릿징 등에 의해서 유도된 재료 강도 및 인성 강화 기구에 의해서 $Al_2O_3$-SiC 복합체의 기계적 물성을 크게 향상시켰다.

A spark plasma sintering technique has been used for the fabrication of $Al_2O_3$-SiC nanocomposites at the low temperature of $1100^{\circ}C$$1500^{\circ}C$. The sintered $Al_2O_3$-SiC composites shows very homogeneous microstructure without any particular abnormal grain growth, indicating that the addition of nano-sized SiC particles is very effective to control grain growth and to induce the residual stress in the $Al_2O_3$ matrix, resulting in the intragranular fracture. These SiC particles are present in the grain boundaries and also intragrain, depending on the sintering condition, and improve remarkably the mechanical properties of $Al_2O_3$-SiC composite through the mechanisms of strengthening and toughening induced by crack diffraction and crack bridging.
