The use of a silicon carbide (SiC)-based composite ceramic layer for the mold of a curved cover glass was demonstrated. The stress of SiC/VDR/graphite-based mold structure was evaluated via finite element analysis. The results revealed that the maximum tensile stress primarly occured at the edge region. Moreover, the stress can be reduced by employing a relatively thick SiC coating layer and, therefore, layers of various thicknesses were deposited by means of chemical vapor deposition. During growth of the layer, the orientation of the facets comprising the SiC grain became dominant with additional intense SiC(220) and SiC(004). However, the roughness of the SiC layer increased with increasing thickness of the layer and. Hence, the thickness of the SiC layer needs to be adjusted by values lower than the tolerance band of the curved cover glass mold.

Fully ceramic micro encapsulated (FCM) nuclear fuel is a concept recently proposed for enhancing the stability of nuclear fuel. FCM nuclear fuel consists of tristructural-isotropic (TRISO) fuel particles within a SiC matrix. Each TRISO fuel particle is composed of a $UO_2$ kernel and a PyC/SiC/PyC tri-layer which protects the kernel. The SiC ceramic matrix is created by sintering. In this FCM fuel concept, fission products are protected twice, by the TRISO coating layer and by the SiC ceramic. The SiC ceramic has proven attractive for fuel applications owing to its low neutron-absorption cross-section, excellent irradiation resistivity, and high thermal conductivity. In this study, a SiC-matrix composite containing TRISO particles was sintered by hot pressing with $Al_2O_3-Y_2O_3$ additive system. Various sintering conditions were investigated to obtain a relative density greater than 95%. The internal distribution of TRISO particles within the SiC-matrix composite was observed using an x-ray radiograph. The fracture of the TRISO particles was investigated by means of analysis of the cross-section of the SiC-matrix composite.

In the present work, 6061 Al-$B_4C$ sintered composites containing different $B_4C$ contents were fabricated and their characteristic were investigated as a function of sintering temperature. For this, composite powders and their compacts with $B_4C$ various contents from 0 to 40 wt.% were fabricated using a planetary ball milling equipment and cold isostatic pressing, respectively, and then they were sintered in the temperature ranges of 580 to $660^{\circ}C$. Above sintering temperature of $640^{\circ}C$, real density was decreased due to the occurrence of sweat phenomena. In addition, it was realized that sinterability of 6061Al-$B_4C$ composite material was lowered with increasing $B_4C$ content, resulting in the decrease in its real density and at the same time in the increment of porosity.

본 연구에서는 기존 사용후핵연료(Spent nuclear fuel) 운반/저장 용기에 사용되는 중성자 흡수용 B₄C/Al 복합소재의 열전도도를 개선하기 위해 탄화붕소(B₄C)와 입방정 질화붕소(cBN)를 동시에 강화재로 사용한 알루미늄(Al) 기지 복합소재를 제조하고 평가를 진행하였다. 이를 위해서 교반주조 공정을 통해 복합재 잉곳을 제조하고 이를 압연하여 중성자 흡수용 소재를 성공적으로 제조하였다. 제조된 소재의 평가를 위해 cBN 첨가에 따른 열전도도와 중성자 흡수능 변화를 관찰하였다. 열전도도 측정 결과, B₄C 단일 입자만을 사용한 복합소재 대비 B₄C, cBN을 함께 사용한 복합소재가 동일 체적률 조건 하에서 약 3%의 열전도도 증가가 발생하는 것을 확인하였으며 중성자 흡수 단면적 계산을 통해 중성자 흡수능이 무시할 수 있는 수준으로 저하가 발생하는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 바탕으로, 중성자 흡수 소재의 새로운 설계 방안을 제시하고 고성능 운반/저장 용기의 개발에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Heat insulation plates of fumed silica were prepared by mixing fumed silica, SiC powder and chopped glass fiber by a high speed mixer followed by pressing of the mixture powder in a stainless steel mold of $100{\times}100mm$. Composition of the plates, particle size of SiC, and type of inorganic binder were varied for observation of their contribution to heat insulation of the plate. The plate was installed on the upper portion of an electric furnace the inside temperature of which was maintained at $400^{\circ}C$ and $600^{\circ}C$, for investigation of heat transfer through the plate from inside of the electric furnace to outside atmosphere. Surface temperatures were measured in real time using a thermographic camera. The particle size of SiC was varied in the range of $1.3{\sim}17.5{\mu}m$ and the insulation was found to be most excellent when SiC of $2.2{\mu}m$ was incorporated. When the size of SiC was smaller or larger than $2.2{\mu}m$, the heat insulation effect was decreased. Inorganic binders of alkali silicate and phosphate were tested and the phosphate was found to maintain the heat insulation property while increasing mechanical properties.

The behaviour of composite frame - shear wall systems with regard to creep and shrinkage with high beam stiffness has been largely unattended until recently since no procedure has been available. Recently an accurate procedure, termed the Consistent Procedure (CP), has been developed which is applicable for low as well as for high beam stiffness. In this paper, CP is adapted for a class of composite frame - shear wall systems comprising of steel columns and R.C. shear walls. Studies are reported for the composite systems with high as well as low beam stiffness. It is shown that considerable load redistribution occurs between the R.C. shear wall and the steel columns and additional moments occur in beams. The magnitude of the load redistribution and the additional moment in the beams depend on the stiffness of the beams. It is also shown that the effect of creep and shrinkage are greater for the composite frame - shear wall system than for the equivalent R.C. frame - shear wall system.

The microstructure and mechanical property of the ceramic reinforced AC4C matrix composites processed by squeeze casting were investigated. In this study Kaowool and Saffil fiber which are ceramic reinforcements are used as preform materials. As a matrix material, Al-7wt.%Si-0.3wt.%Mg(AC4C) has been used. In case of Kaowool and Saffil/AC4C composites, 7.5 MPa squeezing pressure and minimum 7.0% binder amount are needed to produce sound composite materials. The tensile strength of Kaowool/ AC4C composite is lower than the matrix metal and this can be explained by the melt unfilling due to formed cluster of Kaowool reinforcements. But the mechanical properties of hardness, wear resistance and thermal expansion are better than the matrix materials due to the strengthening effect of ceramic reinforcements.

Flexible silicon carbide fibrous mats were fabricated by a combination of electrospinning and a polymer-derived ceramics route. Polycarbosilane was used as a solute with various solvent mixtures, such as toluene and dimethylformamide. The electrospun PCS fibrous mats were cured under a halogen vapor atmosphere and heat treated at $1300^{\circ}C$. The structure, fiber morphology, thermal behavior, and crystallization of the fabricated SiC fibrous mats were analyzed via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and thermal imaging. The prepared SiC fibrous mats were composed of randomly distributed fibers approximately $3{\mu}m$ in diameter. The heat radiation of the SiC fiber mats reached $1600^{\circ}C$ under microwave radiation at a frequency of 2.45 GHz.

뮬라이트 preform과 비정질 실리카를 알루미늄 용융체에서 $1100^{\circ}C$, 5시간 동안 반응시켜 $Al/Al_2O_3$복합체가 제조되었다. 뮬라이트 preform과 알루미늄 용융체 간의 화학적 반응은 상호 연결된 미세구조를 형성하였다. $Al/Al_2O_3$복합체의 금속의 양은 뮬라이트 preform의 소결 온도($1600^{\circ}C$, $1625^{\circ}C$, $1650^{\circ}C$, $1700^{\circ}C$)에 따른 겉보기 기공율의 변수로서 조절되었으며, 복합체의 기계적 특성들은 알루미늄 양에 따라 조사되었다. $1600^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서 소결된 뮬라이트 preform은 침투된 알루미늄 용융체와 화학반응을 이루었으나, $1600^{\circ}C$에서 소결된 뮬라이트 소결체는 알루미늄 용융체에 대해 젖음이 이루어지지 않아 화학반응이 진행되지 않았다. 알루미늄 용융체의 침투 방향에 따른 복합체의 기계적 특성에 대한 영향은 알루미늄 용융체의 수직, 평행한 침투 방향 패턴의 두 가지 다른 모델들에 의해 고려되었다. $Al/Al_2O_3$복합체에서 알루미늄의 양의 증가에 따라 파괴강도는 감소하였으며, 파괴인성은 증가하는 경향을 나타냈다.$ Al/Al_2O_3$복합체의 미세구조는 금속의 침투 방향에 의해 결정되었지만, 복합체의 파괴강도와 파괴인성은 금속 침투 방향에 대한 의존성은 나타내지 않았다.
