Porous frit-bonded SiC ceramics were successfully prepared at a temperature as low as $800^{\circ}C$ from SiC, frit, and microbeads (glass or polymer). The effects of SiC starting particle size and microbead addition on microstructure, porosity, and flexural strength were investigated. The addition of hollow glass microbead improved the strength of frit-bonded SiC ceramics without the loss of porosity by acting additional binder phase between SiC grains. The 65 ${\mu}m$-sized SiC resulted in lower porosity and higher strength than 50 ${\mu}m$-sized SiC because of higher packing density. Typical flexural strengths of frit-bonded SiC were 23 MPa at 46% porosity and 19 MPa at 49% porosity.

세라믹 전구체로서 PCS와 PMS 두 종류의 실린콘 고분자를 합성하여 7, 15, 33 wt.%의 Mo분말, Mo(CO)6 금속화합물과 혼합한 뒤 130$0^{\circ}C$이상 가열하면 탄화물과 규화물의 다양한 세라믹복합재로 전이되었다. 특히 PMS용액에 7, 15 wt.% Mo분말을 분산하여 초음파 처리하면 열분해 수율이 60%까지 개선되고 전도성 소재인 SiC/MoSi2 복합조성의 세라믹스가 합성되었다. 그러나 풍부한 유기 반응기를 가진 PCS와 카보닐기가 탄소공급원으로 작용하는 Mo(CO)6를 반응물로 사용하였을 때는 SiC와 Mo2C와 같은 탄화물과 미향의 MoSi2 그리고 미확인상을 포함한 세라믹 복합상들이 얻어졌다.

This paper reports the microstructures and thermal conductivities of $ZrB_2$-SiC composite ceramics with size and amount of SiC. We fabricated sintered bodies of $ZrB_2$-x vol.% SiC (x=10, 20, 30) with submicron and nanosized SiC densified by spark plasma sintering. Microstructure retained the initial powder size of especially SiC, except the agglomeration of nanosized SiC. For sintered bodies, thermal conductivities were examined. The observed thermal conductivity values are 40~60 W/mK, which is slightly lower than the reported values. The relation between microstructural parameter and thermal conductivity was also discussed.

Porous self-bonded silicon carbide (SiC) ceramics were fabricated at temperatures ranging from 1750 to $1850^{\circ}C$ using SiC, silicon (Si), and carbon (C) powders as starting materials. The effect of the Si:C ratio on porosity and strength was investigated as a function of sintering temperature. It was possible to produce self-bonded SiC ceramics with porosities ranging from 36% to 43%. The porous ceramics showed a maximal porosity when the Si:C ratio was 2:1 regardless of the sintering temperature. In contrast, the maximum strength was obtained when the ratio was 5:1.

$ZrB_2$-SiC ceramics are fabricated via hot pressing with different ratios of submicron or nano-sized SiC in a $ZrB_2$-20 vol%SiC system, in order to examine the effect of the SiC size ratio on the microstructures and physical properties, such as thermal conductivity, hardness, and flexural strength, of $ZrB_2$-SiC ceramics. Five different $ZrB_2$-SiC ceramics ($ZrB_2$-20 vol%[(1-x)SiC + xnanoSiC] where x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.5, 0.8, 1.0) are prepared in this study. The mean SiC particle sizes in the sintered bodies are highly dependent on the ratio of nano-sized SiC. The thermal conductivities of the $ZrB_2$-SiC ceramics increase with the ratio of nano-sized SiC, which is consistent with the percolation behavior. In addition, the $ZrB_2$-SiC ceramics with smaller mean SiC particle sizes exhibit enhanced mechanical properties, such as hardness and flexural strength, which can be explained using the Hall-Petch relation.

[ $Al_2O_3/SiC$ ]composite ceramics were sintered to evaluate the bending strength and elastic wave characteristics. The three-point bending test was carried out under room temperature. The elastic wave was detected by fracture wave detector. The crack healing behavior was investigated from 1373 K to 1723 K. The bending strength of $Al_2O_3/SiC$ composite by nanocomposite is higher than that of $Al_2O_3$ monolithic. Crack-healing behavior depended on an amount of additive powder $Y_2O_3$. In $Al_2O_3/SiC$ composite ceramics with 3 wt. % $Y_2O_3$ for additive powder, the bending strength at 1573 K is about 100% increase than that of the smooth specimens. From the result of wavelet analysis of elastic wave signal, the smooth specimen and heat treated specimen of $Al_2O_3$ monolithic and $Al_2O_3/SiC$ composite ceramics showed characteristics of frequency about 58 kHz. The strength of $Al_2O_3/SiC$ composite ceramics was a little higher than those of $Al_2O_3$ monolithic. The dominant frequencies were high with increasing of $Y_2O_3$ for additive powder. The dominant frequencies had direct connection with the bending strength.

SiC materials have been extensively studied for high temperature components in advanced energy system and advanced gas turbine. However, the brittle characteristics of SiC such as low fracture toughness and low strain-to fracture still impose a severe limitation on practical applications of SiC materials. For these reasons, $SiC_f/SiC$ composites can be considered as a promising for various structural materials, because of their good fracture toughness compared with monolithic SiC ceramics. But, high temperature and pressure lead to the degradation of the reinforcing fiber during the hot pressing. Therefore, reduction of sintering temperature and pressure is key requirements for the fabrication of $SiC_f/SiC$ composites by hot pressing method. In the present work, Monolithic LPS-SiC was fabricated by hot pressing method in Ar atmosphere at 1760 $^{\circ}C$, 1780 $^{\circ}C$, 1800 $^{\circ}C$ and 1820 $^{\circ}C$ under 20 MPa using $Al_2O_3-Y_2O_3$ system as sintering additives in order to low sintering temperature. The starting powder was high purity ${\beta}-SiC$ nano-powder with an average particle size of 30 nm. Monolithic LPS-SiC was evaluated in terms of sintering density, micro-structure, flexural strength, elastic modulus and so on. Sintered density, flexural strength and elastic modulus of fabricated LPS-SiC increased with increasing the sintering temperature. In the micro-structure of this specimen, it was found that grain of sintered body was grown from 30 nm to 200 nm.

반응결합 알루미나(RBAO)-SiC 세라믹스를 AI금속분말/$AI_2O_3$/SiC 분말혼합체로부터 제조하였다. 하소알루미나와 용융알루미나를 알루미나 분말공급원으로 사용하였다. 출발원료는 단일구경(3mm)또는 혼합구경(3mm+5mm)의 $ZrO_2$볼로 어트리션 밀링 하였다. 정수압 성형한 시편을 $1100^{\circ}C$까지$ 1.5^{\circ}C$/mim로 1차소성한 다음,$ 1500^{\circ}C$~$1600^{\circ}C$까지 $5^{\circ}C$/mim으로 2차소성하였다. 용융알루미나와의 분말혼합체가 하소알루미나와의 분말혼합체보다 분쇄가 더욱 잘 되었다. 또한 단일구가 혼합구보다 분쇄에 더욱 효율적이었다. $AI_2O_3$ 형태에 따른 반응소결거동에는 별 차이가 없었다.

In this paper, we employed the classical molecular dynamics simulations using Tersoff's potential to calculate the elastic constants of the silicon carbide (SiC) crystal at high temperature. The elastic constants of the SiC crystal were calculated based on the stress-strain characteristics, which were drawn by the simulation using LAMMPS software. At the same time, the elastic constants of the SiC ceramics were measured at different temperatures by impulse excitation testing (IET) method. Based on the simulated stress-strain results, the SiC crystal showed the elastic deformation characteristics at the low temperature region, while a slight plastic deformation behavior was observed at high strain over $1,000^{\circ}C$ temperature. The elastic constants of the SiC crystal were changed from about 475 GPa to 425 GPa by increasing the temperature from RT to $1,250^{\circ}C$. When compared to the experimental values of the SiC ceramics, the simulation results, which are unable to obtain by experiments, are found to be very useful to predict the stress-strain behaviors and the elastic constant of the ceramics at high temperature.
