Addition of large particles restrains densification by small particles in mixed particle systems. In the present study, large SiC whiskers or particles were introduced into small particles for restraining densification and the mixtures were sintered using yttrium aluminum garnet (Y$_3$A1$\sub$5/O$\sub$12/, YAG) as a sintering additive. By controlling the content of large SiC whiskers or particles and the applied pressure during sintering, porous SiC ceramics, with a porosity ranging from 0.3% to 39%, were fabricated. Porosity increased with increasing the content of restraining materials. SiC whiskers were more effective than large SiC partcles for restraining densification. Permeability of the porous SiC ceramics increased with increasing the porosity. Flexural strength decreased with increasing porosity. A noticeable increase in strain to failure was observed in the porous ceramics with a porosity ranging from 18% to 39%.

Nondestructive evaluation(NDE) of ceramic matrix composites is essential for developing reliable ceramics for industrial applications. In the work, C-Scan image analysis has been used to characterize surface crack of SiC ceramics nondestructively. The possibility of detection of surface crack were carried out experimentally by two types of ultrasonic equipment of SDS-win and $\mu$-SDS, and three types of transducer of 25, 50 and 125 MHz. A surface micro-crack of ceramics was not detected by transducer of 25 MHz and 50 MHz. Though the focus method was detected dimly the crack by transducer of 125 MHz, the defocus method could detect the shape of diamond indenter. As a whole, the focus method and the defocus method came to the conclusion that micro crack have a good possibility for detection.

The conversions to SiC-based ceramics of a polycarbosilane (PCS) with and without oxidation curing were carried out. A yield and an oxygen content of conversed SiC-based ceramics were evaluated. The weight losses of conversed SiC-based ceramics by both processes analyzed to estimate the high temperature stability after heat treatment at high temperature in vacuum. The yield of SiC­based ceramics after oxidation curing was higher than that without curing process. However, the weight loss of SiC-based ceramics with oxidation curing was larger than that without curing process after heat treatment.

The Vickers hardness test is a common method used to characterize the hardness of ceramic materials. However, the hardness is not a deterministic value, but is a random variable. The objective of this paper is to investigate the statistical properties of the bending strength and a set of Vickers hardness values in single $ZrO_2$ and composite $ZrO_2/SiC$ with a SiC additive. In this work, we compare the characteristic value and variation with the results based on Weibull statistical analysis. The probability distributions of the bending strength and Vickers hardness agreed relatively well with the Weibull distribution. We evaluate the scale parameter and shape parameter in asreceived $ZrO_2$ and $ZrO_2/SiC$ composite ceramics, as well as in their heat treated ceramics.

This study was carried out on the crack healing of three types of SiC ceramics based on a $SiO_2$ additive, taking into account the roughness of the polishing plate used for polishing the specimens. The mixtures were subsequently hot-pressed in $N_2$ gas for one hour under 35 MPa at 2053 K. In these specimens, the optimized crack-healing condition was 1373 K for one hour in air. The crack-healing material of the cracked part was the glassy phase of $SiO_2$ that was formed by the oxidation of SiC. In the optimum healing condition, the bending strength of non-polished SiC ceramics was not completely recovered. However, the bending strength of the SAY specimen was excellent, considering the economic aspects of SAY, SAYS-1, and SAYS-2. The SAY specimen is definitely superior to the others after an hour of heat treatment. There was a decrease in the number and size of defects in the specimen polished by using a $125-{\mu}m$ polishing plate; however, the micro-surface defects were not completely repaired. The specimen polished by using a 40-${\mu}m$ polishing plate showed little voids or surface defects after an hour of heat treatment. The bending strength of the specimen mirror-polished by using a 6-${\mu}m$ polishing plate was completely recovered.

금속이나 고분자 재료에 비하여 세라믹스는 우수한 내열성과 고온 물성을 가지고 있음에도 불구하고, 잘 깨지는 특성과 제조시 많은 열량을 필요로 하는 단점 때문에 그 동안 고온 구조용 부품으로서 광범위하게 사용되지 못하였다. 본 연구에서는 polycarbosilane을 이용하여 C/C 복합체를 포함한 산화물 및 비산화물 세라믹 복합체의 저온 치밀화 제조 공정을 확립하였다. polympr precursor를 열처리하여 얻은 $Al_2O_3$와 SiC 장섬유를 대표적인 산화물, 비산화물 세라믹스인 알루미나와 탄화규소에 각각 보강하여 파괴에너지가 기존의 단체 세라믹스에 비하여 10배 이상 향상된 세라믹 복합체를 제조하였다. 복합체 제조시 polycarbosilane을 결합제로 첨가하였으며 polycarbosilane이 SiC로 전이되는 $1150^{\circ}C$에서 열처리하여 이론 밀도의 73% 이상을 얻었다.

Si3N4(p)-SiC(p) composites were prepared by gas pressure sintering at 190$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. $\alpha$-SiC with average particle size of 0.48${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ were dispersed from zero to 50vol% in $\alpha$-Si3N4 with average particle size of 0.5${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Y2O3-Al2O3 system was used as sintering aids. When 10vol% of SiC was added to Si3N4, optimum mechanical properties were observed; relative density of 98.8%, flextural strength of 930MPa, fracture toughness of 5.9MPa.m1/2 and hardness value of 1429kg/$\textrm{mm}^2$. Grain growth of $\beta$-Si3N4 was inhibited as the amount of added SiC was increased. SiC particles were found inside the $\beta$-Si3N4 intragrains in case of 10, 20 and 30vol%SiC added composites.

The SiC-porcelain powder mixtures containing 51.9wt% SiC are produced as by-products from the surface abrasion process of porcelain cores. This raw powders were used as starting materials for the synthesis of SiC containing ceramics. The specimen, which was fired at 135$0^{\circ}C$ from raw powders, had SiC, $Al_{2}O_{3}$, , cristobalite, mullite as crystalline phases, and the fractured microstructure showed dispersed SiC crystalline particles almost wetted with glassy matrix and spherical pores. Although the oxidation of SiC containing powder compacts wetted with glassy matrix and spherical pores. Although the oxidation of SiC containing powder compacts started at the range of 600~80$0^{\circ}C$ form the analysis of weight gain, the presence of $SiO_{2}$ crystallien phase and cristobalite was confirmed at 100$0^{\circ}C$ by XRD analysis. Mullitization of specimens was accelerated by preheating before the final firing. The specimen sintered at 135$0^{\circ}C$ after 100$0^{\circ}C$ preheating consisted of SiC, cristobalite, mullite as crystalline phases, and revealed 2.24g/$cm^{3}$ bulk density, 11.73% water adsorption, porous microstructure with small amount of glassy phase. SiC contents of specimens, which was 51.9 wt% in the raw powders, reduced to 37~22 wt% after firing at 135$0^{\circ}C$ depending on the preheating condition.
