In this study, densified 4D carbon/carbon composites were made from carbon fiber and coal tar pitch through the process of pressure impregnation and carbonization and then followed by carbonization and graphitization. To improve the oxidative resistance of the prepared carbon/carbon composites, the surface of carbon/carbon composites was coated on SiC by the pack cementation method. The SiC coated layer was created by depending on the constitution of pack powder, and reaction time of pack-cementation. The morpology of crystalline and texture of these SiC coated carbon/carbon composites were investigated by XRD, SEM/EDS observation. So the coating mechanism of pack-cementation process was proposed. The oxidative res istance were observed through the air oxidation test, and then the optimal condition of pack cementation was found by them. Besides, the oxidative mechanism of SiC formed was proposed through the observation of SiC coated surface, which was undergone by oxidation test.

The pack-cementation process is the method which is formed SiC coating layer to improve weak oxidation properties of CFRCs (carbon fiber-reinforced carbons). This method develops the anti-oxidation coating layer having no dimensional changes and good wetting properties. In this study to improve the oxidative resistance of the prepared 4D CFRCs, the surface of CFRCs is coated by SiC using pack cementation method. The mechanical properties of SiC-coated 4D CFRCs are measured by the 3-point bending test, and their ablation properties are investigated by the arc torch plasma test. From the results, it is found that both mechanical and ablation properties of SiC-coated 4D CFRCs are much better than bare CFRCs.

Although C/C composites have excellent mechanical properties at high temperature, the disadvantage of oxidation in air restricts their applications. Thus a lot of investments have been studied to improve this drawback. In this study, SiC used as a thermal protective coating material possesses almost the same expansion coefficient compared to that of carbon, so SiC was coated on 4D C/C composites by Pack-Cementation process. For SiC-coated C/C composites, optical microscopy observations were performed to estimate the conversion mechanism involved and air oxidation tests were also performed to evaluate the improvement of oxidation resistance. Afterwards the optimum conditions of coating process were estimated from the results of several analysis and tests.

Open-cell Ni-Cr and Ni-Cr-Al(with gamma/gamma prime microstructure typical of Bi-base super alloys) foams are manufactured by pack-cementation at $1000{\boxplus}$degrees C, followed by homogenization at $1200{\boxplus}C$. The resulting alloyed foams retain the low relative densities (less than 3.5 wt.%). The oxidation behavior of Ni-Cr foams turns out to be identical to that of bulk Ni-Cr alloys, after taking into account the foam's higher surface area. The room-temperature compressive behavior of the Ni-Cr and Ni-Cr-Al is compared to model predictions. Additionally, the foam creep behavior, measured between 680 and $825{\boxplus}C$ in the stress range of 0.1-0.3 MPa, compared to two analytical models, namely strut compression and strut bending as high-temperature deformation modes.

Incoloy alloy 909 is an Fe-Ni-Co based superalloy that is attractive for gas turbine engine applications. The absence of chromium, however, makes the alloy more susceptible to oxidation in high temperature. To improve the oxidation resistance aluminizing was performed by high activity low temperature pack cementation process. Aluminizing condition was examined with different times and temperatures. Optimum aluminizing conditions were at the temperature of $552^{\circ}C$ for 20 hrs. In the optimized condition, the thickness of the aluminized layer was about $20{\mu}m$. Also, the aluminized layer made the alloy to increase the resistance to the corrosion.

The simultaneous addition of Al and Cr to the surface of Ni-and Fe-base alloy provides enhanced resistance to oxidation and corrosion in high temperatures. However, because of the large differences in thermodynamic stabilities of the volatile halides of Al and Cr, the codeposition of Al and Cr by halideactivated pack cementation is only possible for very specific, limited combinations of conditions. In this study, the experiments on the combinations of various metallic source powders and activators were conducted in order to obtain codeposition layers of Al and Cr on Ni with adequate composition by pack cementation. When Cr-Al masteralloy was used as a source powder, it was not easy to control Al and Cr content sensitively in the coating layers. On the other hand, when pure Cr and Al powder was used, ${\beta}$-NiAl layer containing about 20wt % Cr was obtained.

CMC(Ceramic Matrix Composites)는 $1500^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온에서 내열성, 내산화성, 내식성이 우수하여, 초음속 비행체, 가스터빈 엔진 및 원자로용 초고온 부품 등에 수요가 증가하고 있다. 하지만 이러한 특성은 비산소 환경에 국한되는 것으로 약 $400^{\circ}C$ 이상의 산화 분위기에는 탄소섬유가 산화되는 문제로 인하여 적용의 한계를 가지고 있다. 따라서 CMC의 적용범위 확대를 위하여 내산화 코팅으로 CMC의 초고온 산화특성을 개선하는 것이 필수적이며, 장시간 초고온 산화환경 분위기에서 사용되기 위하여 안정적인 코팅기술이 최근 기술개발의 핵심현안으로 부각되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 pack cementation 공정을 이용하여 내산화성이 우수한 SiC 코팅층을 제조하였다. Pack cementation 공정에 사용된 코팅 분말은 57wt.% SiC, 30wt.% Si, 3wt.% B, 10wt.% Al2O3의 비율로 혼합된 것이다. 실험은 3D 직조된 CMC 모재를 혼합분말 내에 침적한 후, Ar 분위기에서 $1600^{\circ}C$, 4~12시간 반응시켜 수 마이크론 두께의 SiC 코팅층을 형성하였다. 더 우수한 산화 특성을 부여하기 위하여 pack 처리된 CMC 표면에 초고온 세라믹인 TaC 소재를 진공플라즈마 코팅 공정으로 적층시켰다. 제조된 코팅층을 SEM, XRD를 이용하여 미세구조 및 결정구조를 분석하였으며, pack cementation에 따른 내산화 특성을 비교 분석하고자 $2000^{\circ}C$에서 산화 실험을 진행하였다. 산화 실험 이후 미세구조 및 결정구조 분석으로 산화거동을 규명하고자 하였다.

A theoretical model which combines gaseous transport and solid state diffusion was used to study aluminide coating process by pack cementation. The aluminide coatings were applied in the high activity pack containing $NH_4Cl$ activator with Ni substrate under argon atmosphere. On the basis of the process conditions, the suggested model allows the surface composition, the growth rate of coating layers and the aluminium concentration profiles in coatings to be calculated. In the case of $NH_4Cl$ activator, careful consideration was required in the analysis, because activator contains nitrogen and hydrogen as well as halogen element to activate the pack. A good agreement is obtained between the theoretical predictions and the experimental results.

The effects of coating variables on the formation of aluminide coating layer with good oxidation resistance on the strongest hot-forged superalloy in the world, KM 1557 developed at KIST by pack cementation process were studied. Pack aluminizing were performed by high-activity process with pure aluminium powders and by low-activity process with codep powders. For high-activity process, Al deposition rate, growth rate of coating layer, and cross-sectional microstructures were influenced by the species and additive amounts of activators and the additive amounts of pure aluminium powders. For low-activity process, Al deposition rate, growth rate of coating layer, and the cross-sectional microstructures were not influenced by the species but additive amounts of activators. Surface structures of coating layer were influenced by the species of activators. Regardless of aluminium activity, Al deposition rate was proportional to the square root of time and parabolic rate constants were different with the species of activators. The activation energy for deposition of aluminium was different with the species of activators for high-activity process. Regardless of the species of activators, the activation energy for deposition of aluminium was 12~14 Kcal/mole for low-activity process.
