본 논문에서는 탄화규소로 코팅된 탄소-탄소복합재료의 단열 특성을 고찰하였다. 탄소-탄소 복합재료 상에 탄화규소를 화학증착법(CVD)법으로 코팅하였다. 먼저 탄화규소로 코팅한 복합재와 코팅되지 않은 복합재에 대해, 공기 중에서 1350℃의 온도를 급작스럽게 부가하였을 때의 단열특성을 서로 비교하는 연구를 수행하였다. 또한 본 연구에서는 최대 1700℃ 및 2000℃의 온도에 복합재의 표면을 노출시키는 고온 버너실험을 수행하였다. 버너실험 전, 후의 무게를 측정하여 무게변화를 고찰하였다. 고온 버너실험 후 탄소-탄소 복합재 및 탄화규소로 코팅된 복합재의 손상여부를 비교, 고찰하였다. 그 결과 2000℃의 온도에 노출 시 탄화규소 코팅재에서 박리, 균열, 공동 등의 결함손상들이 발견되었으나, 고온으로부터 탄소-탄소 복합재를 보호하는데 효과적이었다.

원자력발전소에서 사용되고 있는 핵연료 피복관은 핵분열 생성물들의 외부 유출을 방지하기 위해 고온 고압의 냉각수 분위기에서 우수한 산화저항성을 가져야 한다. 그러나 후쿠시마 원전사고의 LOCA(Loss-Of-Coolant-Accident)와 같은 중대사고에서 핵연료의 피복관과 수증기 사이의 격렬한 반응으로 인해 급격한 고온산화를 동반한 다량의 수소발생으로 수소폭발을 방지하기 위한 핵연료의 개발이 요구되고 있다. 이에 따라 핵연료 피복관의 안전성 향상을 위해 내방사선성이 우수하며 높은 강도와 산화, 부식에 대한 내화학적 안정성 및 우수한 열전도도 의 특성을 갖는 SiC와 같은 구조용 세라믹스가 활발히 연구되고 있다. $SiC_f/SiC$ 복합체 보호막 금속 피복관은 지르코늄 피복관 튜브에 SiC 섬유를 필라멘트 와인딩 한 후 Polycarbosilane을 polymer로 함침하여 기지상을 형성하는 공정을 이용하였다. 따라서 이렇게 제조한 $SiC_f/SiC$ 복합체 금속 피복관을 Drop Tube Furnace를 이용한 열충격에 따른 시편의 산화 및 미세조직을 분석하였다.

$\beta$-Sialon has been regarded as one of promising materials showing high strength, fracture toughness, corrosion resistence and wear resistence. The improvement of the fracture toughness and tribological properties of $\beta$-Sialon (Z=1) has been attempeted by fabricating the $\beta$-Sialon/ SiC whisker composite. Each of green body composed of following ingredients, i.e., Si3N4, AlN, Y2O3 nd SiC, respectively, was first fired at 178$0^{\circ}C$ for 3hrs in N2 atmosphere and then post-HIPed at 173$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr under 170 MPa for N2 gas pressure. The fracture toughness, flexural strength and tribological properties increased with increasing SiC whisker content, despite the reduction of the relative density and hardness. $\beta$-Sialon/15 vol% SiC whisker showed a significant enhancement of wear resistance compared to the monolithic $\beta$-Sialon. The addition of SiC whisker caused the reduction of the density and hardness, but induced the increment of wear resistance.

Fine (~0.09 $\mu$m) $\beta$-SiC Powders with 3.3wt% of large (~0.44$\mu$m) $\alpha$-SiC of $\beta$-SiC particles (seeds) added were hotpressed at 175$0^{\circ}C$ using $Y_2O_3$, $Al_2O_3$ and CaO as sintering aids and then annealed at 185$0^{\circ}C$ for 4 h to enhance grain growth. The resultant microstructure and polytypes were analyzed by high resolution electron microscopy (HREM).Growth of $\beta$-SiC with high density of microtwins and formation of ${\alpha}/{\beta}$ composite grains consisting of $\alpha$-SiC domain sandwiched between $\beta$-SiC domains were found in both specimens. When large $\alpha$-SiC (mostly 6H) seeds were added, the $\beta$-SiC transformend preferentially to the 6H polytype. In contrast, when large $\beta$-SiC (3C) seeds were added, the fine $\beta$-SiC transformed preferentially to the 4H polytype. Such results suggested that the polytype formation in SiC was influenced by crystalline form of seeds added as well as the chemistry of sintering aids. The ${\alpha}/{\beta}$ interface played and important role in the formation of elongated grains as evidenced by presence of ${\alpha}/{\beta}$ composite grains with high aspect ratio.

$SiC_f$/SiC composites with whiskers and pyrolytic carbon (PyC) coated whiskers in the matrix were fabricated for enhancement of the fracture behaviors by the whisker growing assisted chemical vapor infiltration (WA-CVI) process, respectively. $SiC_f$/SiC composites were also prepared by the conventional CVI process as reference material. The mechanical properties and fracture behaviors were analyzed by comparison of the two types of composites prepared by WA-CVI and conventional CVI. The densities of $SiC_f$/SiC composites were in the range of $2.6{\sim}2.65g/cm^3$. The flexural strengths of composite with whiskers and with those coated by PyC were 650 MPa and 600 MPa, respectively. The tensile strength of composites with whiskers was ${\sim}285$ MPa.

Ceramic fiber-reinforced composites have good mechanical properties in hardness and durability. In this study, we studied the formation of SiC/C composites from methyltrichlorosilane and hydrogen by the Pulse-chemical vapor infiltration(PCVI) to deposit silicon carbide around the changes of the amount of deposit. SiC/C composites formed at $950^{\circ}C$, 20torr, Pulse-times (5s/60s). SEM of the cross sectional area of semple showed deposited silicon carbide around fibers.

The bi-materials with Al-Mg alloy and its composites reinforced with SiC and $Al_2O_3$ particles were prepared by conventional powder metallurgy method. The A1-5 wt%Mg and composite mixtures were compacted under $150{\sim}450\;MPa$, and then the mixtures compacted under 400 MPa were sintered at $773{\sim}1173K$ for 5h. The obtained bi-materials with Al-Mg/SiCp composite showed the higher relative density than those with $Al-Mg/Al_2O_3$ composite after compaction and sintering. Based on the results, the bi-materials compacted under 400 MPa and sintered at 873K for 5h were used for mechanical tests. In the composite side of bi-materials, the SiC particles were densely distributed compared to the $Al_2O_3$ particles. The bi-materials with Al-Mg/SiC composite showed the higher micro-hardness than those with $Al-Mg/Al_2O_3$ composite. The mechanical properties were evaluated by the compressive test. The bi-materials revealed almost the same value of 0.2% proof stress with Al-Mg alloy. Their compressive strength was lower than that of Al-Mg alloy. Moreover, impact absorbed energy of bi-materials was smaller than that of composite. However, the bi-materials with Al-Mg/SiCp composite particularly showed almost similar impact absorbed energy to $Al-Mg/Al_2O_3$ composite. From the observation of microstructure, it was deduced that the bi-materials was preferentially fractured through micro-interface between matrix and composite in the vicinity of macro-interface.

Manufactured $SiC_f/SiC$ composites by NITE method was investigated fracture characteristics according to the size of the surface crack. Coated surface crack with a $SiO_2$ colloid in several ways was evaluating the possibility of healing. The strength of CCS and UCS is 313 and 230MPa, respectively and it is about 1/3 of the SPS. Bending strength of $SiC_f/SiC$ composites has no effect with the pre-crack size to the critical crack size. $SiC_f/SiC$ composites can not generate large amount of $SiO_2$ oxides to the bottom of crack, and is only generated randomly on surfaces, and can not contribute to the recovery of bending strength.

The SiC/MoSi2 composite material was prepared by infiltration with the mixture of metal Si and MoSi2 into the preform of $\alpha$-SiC and graphite under the vacuum atmosphere of 10-1 torr. The mechanical properties, phases and microstructural characteristics have been investigated by employing an universal testing machine, scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffractometer. With the increase of MoSi2/Si mixing content, the quantity of the residual silicon phase was decreased and the hardness and fracture toughness of composite materials were increased. Also, as the infiltration temperature increased, a lot of fine-grained $\beta$-SiC phases, which were produced from the reaction of graphite and liquid silicon melt, were transformed to $\alpha$-SiC phases.
