The infiltration of ceramics by liquid metals to fabricate ceramic-metal composites is discussed. In particular, the complexity of infiltrating ceramics by liquid metals at high temperatures due to interfacial reactions, metal oxidation, pore modulation and closure, and transient capillary forces has been highlighted. The role of these factors is discussed in the context of reactive infiltration with examples from ceramic/metal composites of practical interest. In addition to flow through porous ceramics, reactive penetration of dense ceramics via chemical dissolution and reaction is also discussed.

$Al/Al_2O_3$composites were prepared from the reaction of mullite preforms and amorphous silica in aluminum melt at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 5 hrs. The chemical reaction between mullite preform and aluminum melt has formed the interconnected microstructure. The metal content of $Al/Al_2O_3$composite was controlled with the variable of the apparent porosity according to the sintering temperature of mullite preforms; $1600^{\circ}C$,$ 1625^{\circ}C$, $1650^{\circ}C$ and $1700^{\circ}C$, the mechanical properties of $Al/Al_2O_3$composite were investigated upon the content of Al. The mullite preform sintered above $1600^{\circ}C$ showed the chemical reaction with the penetrated Al melt, but the mullite sintered at $1600^{\circ}C$ didnt react with aluminum melt owing to the non-wetting of Al melt/mullite preform. The influences of penetration direction on the mechanical properties of composites were considered with the two different models of the perpendicular pattern and the parallel pattern to the direction of Al melt penetration. With the increase of Al metal penetration content, the fracture strength of $Al/Al_2O_3$composite decreased and the fracture toughness of composite increased. The microstructure of $Al/Al_2O_3$composite was determined by the direction of metal penetration, but the fracture strength and fracture toughness of composite didnt show the dependence on metal penetration direction.

반응금속 침투법으로 제조한 $Al_2$O$_3$/Al 복합체의 파괴특성과 손상 내구성을 침투방향성에 따라 관찰하였으며, 복합체는 $Al_2$O$_3$단일상보다 향상된 파괴인성과 Al 단일상보다 높은 경도값을 나타내었다. Vickers 압입법을 사용한 복합체의 손상형태에서는 침투방향에 따른 각각의 미세구조에 의해 상이한 특성을 나타내었으며, 헤르찌안 압입법을 사용한 복합체의 손상거동은 $Al_2$O$_3$과 Al의 중간거동을 나타내었다. 헤르찌안 압입 후 강도저하시험으로 복합체가 갖는 우수한 결함저항성을 관찰할 수 있었으며, 높은 헤르찌안 하중에서는 복합체의 강도저하 특성이 복합체의 미세구조에 의존함을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이와 함께 복합체에서의 반응금속 침투방향성, 미세구조 그리고 손상 내구성 사이 상호연관성에 대해 논의하였다.

Al2O3/Al composites were produced by immersing the sintered silica preform in molten aluminum which contained magnesium as impurity. Three distinct regions existed in the penetration behavior of molten me-tal with changing the reaction temperature. These regions are denoted as low temperature regime(75$0^{\circ}C$-85$0^{\circ}C$) intermediate regime(90$0^{\circ}C$-95$0^{\circ}C$) and high temperature regime(100$0^{\circ}C$$\leq$) In the low temperature regime the penetration speed of molten aluminum increased with increasing reaction temperature whereas it decreased in the intermediate regime due to the phase transition of alumina formed by displacement reac-tion. In the high temperature regime the penetration speed of molten aluminum was the highest at 100$0^{\circ}C$ which was 3.6 mm/hr But above 105$0^{\circ}C$ molten aluminum did not penetrate into the silica preform because of the formation of a dense spinel layer at the preform surface by magnesium in molten Al.

Shaped charge(SC) ammunition is a weapon that penetrates directly the target by made jet from metal liner on impacting at a target. In SC, the liner occupies significantly important role causing an explosion and penetration of the target. The Al-Ni composite coating was deposited on copper liner in a solid state via kinetic spraying to improve the explosive force. The mechanical properties, reactivity and microstructure were investigated to confirm the possibility of kinetic sprayed Al/Ni composite coating as a reactive liner material. Reactive liner using Al/Ni composite exhibited much enhanced reactivity than pure copper liner due to Self-propagating High-temperature Synthesis (SHS) reaction with significantly improved adhesive bond strength. Especially, among the Al/Ni composite coatings, AN11 (the Al versus Ni atomic percent ratio is 1:1) showed the greatest reactivity due to its widest reaction area between deposited Al and Ni.

In this study, calcium chloride$(CaCl_2)$, sodium chloride (NaCl), organic acids-containing deicer(NS 40, NS 100), mixed deicier$(NaCl\;70%+CaCl_2\;30%,\;NS\;40\;70%+CaCl_2\;30%,\;NaCl\;70%+NS\;40\;30%,\;NS\;40\;70%+NaCl\;30%)$ is investigated based on the laboratory test for deicing performance, freez-thaw resistance of concrete, and corrosion rate of metal. Test items for deicing performance were ice melting and ice penetration, freezing point depressions and eutectic point, pH, thermal properties for selected deicing chemicals as well as their compatibility with concrete and metal were experimentally investigated. As a test results, in case of the use chloride-containing deicier in area that concrete structures has subjected to freez-thaw reaction in winter season, it showed that mixed deicing chemicals with optimum ratio has desirable method than use one deicing chemicals when is consider to deicing performance and effects, corrosion of steel materials, and freez-thaw resistance of concrete. When use various deicing chemicals mixed, NS40(70%)+calcium chloride(30%) showed the best effective method.
