비커스 경도 실험은 세라믹스 재료의 경도를 특성화하는데 사용되는 일반적인 실험법이다. 그러나 경도도 하나의 확률변수로 취급하는 것이 일반적이다. 본 연구의 목적은 단상 $ZrO_2$ 와 SiC 첨가한 $ZrO_2/SiC$ 복합 세라믹스의 굽힘강도와 비커스 경도의 통계적 성질을 조사하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 와이블 통계 해석에 기초하여 그들의 결과를 특성치와 변동을 비교 고찰하였다. 굽힘강도 및 비커스 경도는 모두 와이블 분포에 비교적 잘 적합할 수 있음을 알았다. 또한 단상 $ZrO_2$ 와 SiC 첨가한 $ZrO_2/SiC$ 복합 세라믹스와 그들의 열처리재에 대한 비커스 경도의 확률분포에 대한 척도 및 형상 파라메터 값을 평가하였다.

비커스 경도 시험은 모든 재료에 적용할 수 있으며, 경도 시험 중에서 가장 광범위하게 사용된다. 경도는 기계적 성질을 평가하는 하나의 확률변수로 볼 수 있다. 본 연구는 $ZrO_2$ 단상 세라믹스와 $TiO_2$ 첨가량에 따르는 $ZrO_2/SiC$ 복합 세라믹스의 굽힘강도와 비커스 경도의 통계적 성질을 조사하였다. 굽힘강도와 비커스 경도는 와이블 확률 분포를 잘 따랐다. 척도 및 형상 파라메터는 $ZrO_2$ 모재 세라믹스, $ZrO_2/SiC/TiO_2$ 모재 세라믹스 및 이들을 열처리한 세라믹스를 사용하여 평가하였다. 또한 압입하중의 증가에 따른 영향도 평가하였다.

Zirconium diboride (ZrB2) and mixed diboride of (Zr0.7Ta0.3)B2 containing 30 vol.% silicon carbide (SiC) composites were prepared by hot-pressing at $1800^{\circ}C$. XRD analysis identified the high crystalline metal diboride-SiC composites at $1800^{\circ}C$. The TaB2 addition to ZrB2-SiC showed a slight peak shift to a higher angle of 2-theta of ZrB2, which confirmed the presence of a homogeneous solid solution. Elastic modulus, hardness and fracture toughness were slightly increased by addition of TaB2. A volatility diagram was calculated to understand the oxidation behavior. Oxidation behavior was investigated at $1500^{\circ}C$ under ambient and low oxygen partial pressure (pO2~10-8 Pa). In an ambient environment, the TaB2 addition to the ZrB2-SiC improved the oxidation resistance over entire range of evaluated temperatures by formation of a less porous oxide layer beneath the surface SiO2. Exposure of metal boride-SiC at low pO2 resulted in active oxidation of SiC due to the high vapor pressure of SiO (g), and, as a result, it produced a porous surface layer. The depth variations of the oxidized layer were measured by SEM. In the ZrB2-SiC composite, the thickness of the reaction layer linearly increased as a function of time and showed active oxidation kinetics. The TaB2 addition to the ZrB2-SiC composite showed improved oxidation resistance with slight deviation from the linearity in depth variation.

본 연구에서는 부분 안정화 지르코니아(Z)와 자기치유능력을 부여하기 위하여 SiC와 $TiO_2$를 첨가한 5종류의 복합 지르코니아(ZS, ZST1, ZST2, ZST3, ZST5)를 소결하여, 기계적 특성과 열처리에 의한 균열 치유 가능성을 평가하였다. 6종류 지르코니아 세라믹스의 비커스 경도는 큰 차이가 없으며, 부분 안정화 지르코니아에 SiC 첨가(ZS)는 급격한 굽힘강도의 저하가 나타났지만, $TiO_2$의 첨가(ZST1, ZST2, ZST3, ZST5)는 강도가 향상하였다. 이는 SiC 및 $TiO_2$의 첨가의 따른 결정화의 영향이라 판단된다. 최고 굽힘 강도를 나타내는 균열 치유 조건에서 지르코니아 단상체는 비커스 균열이 남았으나, SiC가 첨가된 4종류는 비커스 균열이 관찰되지 않아 균열이 치유되었다.

Ceramic based nanocomposite, in which nano-sized ceramics and metals were dispersed within matrix grains and/or at grain boundaries, were successfully fabricated in the ceramic/cerarnic and ceramic/metal composite systems such as $Al_2O_3$/SiC, $Al_2O_3$/$Si_3N_4$, MgO/SiC, mullite/SiC, $Si_3N_4/SiC, $Si_3N_4$/B, $Al_2O_3$/W, $Al_2O_3$/Mo, $Al_2O_3$/Ni and $ZrO_2$/Mo systems. In these systems, the ceramiclceramic composites were fabricated from homogeneously mixed powders, powders with thin coatings of the second phases and amorphous precursor composite powders by usual powder metallurgical methods. The ceramiclmetal nanocomposites were prepared by combination of H2 reduction of metal oxides in the early stage of sinterings and usual powder metallurgical processes. The transmission electron microscopic observation for the $Al_2O_3$/SiC nanocomposite indicated that the second phases less than 70nm were mainly located within matrix grains and the larger particles were dispersed at the grain boundaries. The similar observation was also identified for other cerarnic/ceramic and ceramiclmetal nanocornposites. The striking findings in these nanocomposites were that mechanical properties were significantly improved by the nano-sized dispersion from 5 to 10 vol% even at high temperatures. For example, the improvement in hcture strength by 2 to 5 times and in creep resistance by 2 to 4 orders was observed not only for the ceramidceramic nanocomposites but also for the ceramiclmetal nanocomposites with only 5~01%se cond phase. The newly developed silicon nitride/boron nitride nanocomposites, in which nano-sized hexagonal BN particulates with low Young's modulus and fracture strength were dispersed mainly within matrix grains, gave also the strong improvement in fracture strength and thermal shock fracture resistance. In presentation, the process-rnicro/nanostructure-properties relationship will be presented in detail. The special emphasis will be placed on the understanding of the roles of nano-sized dispersions on mechanical properties.

ZrO2-Toughened Alumina-Ceramics (ZTA) with SiC Whisker as dispersive additive were prepared by pressureless sintering at 1$600^{\circ}C$ and 1$650^{\circ}C$ and by HIPing at 1$600^{\circ}C$ in Ar atmosphere. Effects of SiC-Whisker addition on microstuructural, mechanical, and thermal properties were investigated and the toughening mechanisms between theory and experiment were compared. Specimens with 15 vol% Whisker prepared by HIPing showed 8.26 MPa.ma1/2 in fracture toughness and 600 MPa in flexural strength owing to contribution of the three mechanisms such as crack deflection, whisker bridging and whisker pullout in spite of difference between the theoretical and experimental values due to the partial inhomogeneous dispersion of SiC-Whisker in the matrix and the processing flaw.

Nano-composite solders have been studied to improve the properties of Pb-free solder joints. The nanoparticles in the composite solders were carbon nanotubes(CNTs), metals (Ag, Ni, Cr, etc.), ceramics (SiC, $ZrO_2$, $TiB_2$, etc.). To fabricate the nano-composite solders, mechanical mixing methods and in-situ fabrication method has been used for well-dispersed nano phase. The characteristic properties of the nano-composite solders were high creep resistance, low undercooling, low IMC growth rate and fine microstructures. More researches on the nano-composite solders are required to improve the processibility and the reliability of the nano-composite solder joints.

This paper describes the machining characteristics of the $MoSi_2$ based composites by electric discharge drilling with various tubular electrodes, besides, Hardness characteristics and microstructures of $Nb/MoSi_2$ laminate composites were evaluated from the variation of fabricating conditions such as preparation temperature, applied pressure and pressure holding time. $MoSi_2$ -based composites has been developed in new materials for jet engine of supersonic-speed airplanes and gas turbine for high- temperature generator. Achieving this objective may require new hard materials with high strength and high temperature-resistance. However, With the exception of grinding, traditional machining methods are not applicable to these new materials. Electric discharge machining (EDM) is a thermal process that utilizes a spark discharge to melt a conductive material, the tool electrode being almost non-unloaded, because there is no direct contact between the tool electrode and the workpiece. By combining a nonconducting ceramics with more conducting ceramic it was possible to raise the electrical conductivity. From experimental results, it was found that the lamination from Nb sheet and $MoSi_2$ powder was an excellent strategy to improve hardness characteristics of monolithic $MoSi_2$. However, interfacial reaction products like (Nb, Mo)$SiO_2$ and $Nb_2Si_3$ formed at the interface of $Nb/MoSi_2$ and increased with fabricating temperature. $MoSi_2$ composites which a hole drilling was not possible by the conventional machining process, enhanced the capacity of ED-drilling by adding $NbSi_2$ relative to that of SiC or $ZrO_2$ reinforcements.
