This paper presents the influence of the loading rate on the room temperature fracture toughness of a brittle Al2O3 and a SiC whisker reinforced Al2O3 composite. Dynamic fracture toughness tests were conduced using compressive fatigue pre-cracked notched round bars loaded in tension to produce a stress intensity rate K1=106 MPa√m/sec. The experimental results show that for each loading rate the fracture toughness values obtained for the ceramic matrix composite are higher than the corresponding values for the single phase alumina. In addition, both the reinforced and unreinforced ceramic are singnificantly tougher under dynamic loading than static loading. This dynamic and quasi-static fracture initiation behaviro can be interpreted by identifying quantitatively the mode of fractuer initiation as a function of loading rate.

The microstructural changes of $NiCrAlY/ZrO_2$-$Y_2$$O_3$ composite coatings that were manufactured by air-plasma-spraying were investigated using XRD and SEM/EDS. The as-sprayed microstructure consisted of (Ni,Cr)-rich regions, ($ZrO_2$-$Y_2$$O_3$)-rich regions, and $Al_2$$O_3$-rich layers that were formed during spraying owing to the oxidation of Al in NiCrAlY. During oxidation between 900 and $1100^{\circ}C$ in air, Cr in the (Ni,Cr)-rich regions diffused toward the $Al_2$$O_3$-rich layers, and oxidized to be dissolved in $A1_2$$O_3$-rich layers. The oxidation of Ni in the (Ni,Cr)-rich regions was less distinct, except at the outer surface of the coating.

The low kinds of $Al_2O_3$ composite ceramics were prepared using a mixture of 85 wt.% $Al_2O_3$ (mean size $0.5\;{\mu}m$), 15 wt.% SiC Powder with $Y_2O_3$, as an additive powder (0, 1, 3 and 5 wt.%). The crack-healing strengths were studied as functions of crack-healing temperature and amount of $Y_2O_3$. The in-situ crack-healing behavior was observed at 1,573 K for 1 h in the air. The heat treated specimen with 3 wt.% of $Y_2O_3$ showed better crack-healing ability than specimen with 1 or 5 wt.% of $Y_2O_3$. In case of specimen with 3 wt.% of $Y_2O_3$, the bending strength of the crack-healed specimen at 1,473 K was recovered to the bending strength of smooth specimen treated at 1573 K. The heat-resistance limit temperature of $Al_2O_3$ composite ceramics was 1,073 K, 1,373 K, 873 K for the specimen with 1, 3, 5 wt.% of $Y_2O_3$.

The formation of TiC and $Al_2O_3$ particles based on the self-combustion reaction of the $Al-TiO_2-C-CuO$ system in an Al alloy melt was investigated. With an adequate amount of CuO in the system, a spontaneous reaction occurred within the Al alloy melt at $850^{\circ}C$ and thereafter was self-maintained, producing an Al matrix composite reinforced with thermodynamically stable TiC and $Al_2O_3$ particles. TiC and $Al_2O_3$ particles contributed to a considerable increase in the strength and stiffness, demonstrating the feasibility of this method as a practical application for structural parts.

Compositionally triphasic boehmite-silica-zirconia composite gels were prepared by a multiphasic sol-gel route. Phase-formation characteristics and densification behavior of the gel compacts were examined with and without $\alpha$-Al2O3 seeding. In the unseeded triphasic gels, both $\alpha$-Al2O3 and mullite crystallize simultaneously at 130$0^{\circ}C$. On the other hand, the $\alpha$-Al2O3 seeding selectively induces the formation of corundum phase ($\alpha$-Al2O3) at a significantly lower temperature (~110$0^{\circ}C$) and facilitates an epitaxial growth of $\alpha$-Al2O3 between 1100~130$0^{\circ}C$. The densification of alumina-mullite-zirconia composite (derived from the triphasic gels) was also enhanced by the $\alpha$-Al2O3 seeding, and this was attributed to the delayed crystallization of mullite in the $\alpha$-Al2O3 seeded gel.

A composite of TiB2-Al2O3 system was successfully prepared from a mixture of TiO2, B2O3, and Al by self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) with a novel characteristic, utilizing the internal oxidation heat of aluminium metal of the mixture, instead of by a conventional technique, externally heating a mixture of Ti, B and Al2O3. From a mixture with B/Ti molar ratio of =2.0, pure two phases of TiB2 and $\alpha$-Al2O3 with good crystallinity and small, uniform sizes were formed. However, when the B/Ti molar ratio of the mixture goes to a value less than 2.0, in addition to the above main minerals, a small smounts of metastable phases such as TiB and Ti3B4 were formed. It was found that about 60%, the optimum green density of compacts gave their highest reaction rate and temperature during SHS process. TiB2-Al2O3 system composite with B/Ti molar ratio of =2.0 could be pressurelessly sintered even at 190$0^{\circ}C$ under Ar gas flows without any addition of sintering aids, showing their good properties such as 91.2% in relative density, 2750 kgf/$\textrm{mm}^2$ in Vickers hardness and 2620 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ in flexural strength.

본 연구에서는 폴리비닐알코올(PVA)을 전해질 막으로 이용하기 위하여 가교제로서 글루타르알데히드(GLA)와 무기물 첨가제로 알루미늄실리케이트($Al_2O_3{\cdot}3SiO_2$)를 사용하여 PVA/GLA/$Al_2O_3{\cdot}3SiO_2$ 복합막을 제조하였다. PVA/GLA/$Al_2O_3{\cdot}3SiO_2$ 복합막은 GLA의 비율이 증가함에 따라 함수율이 감소되었고, 알루미늄실리케이트 함량이 증가함에 따라 함수율 향상이 예상되어 수소이온 전도도가 향상되는 경향을 보였다. 제조된 고분자의 가교결합은 IR과 함수율의 경향성으로 확인되었다. 제조된 고분자의 열분석은 TGA에 의해 수행되었다. TGA의 분석결과 PVA/GLA 복합막은 가교결합으로 인하여 PVA보다 열안정성이 우수하였으며, 복합막의 알루미늄실리케이트의 비율이 증가할수록 열안정성이 더욱 증대되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 제조된 복합막은 열안전성을 갖으며 $60^{\circ}C$까지는 양이온전도도가 증가하는 경향을 갖지만 $90^{\circ}C$로 온도가 높아짐에 따라 성능이 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. 따라서 보다 적극적인 노력을 통하여 향후 이온전도성 복합 전해질막으로 적용 가능성을 타진해야 할 것으로 기대된다.

The fabrication of $Al_2O_3/Al$ composites by pressureless infiltration technique was made to investigate the effects of processing variables such as content of Mg, processing temperature and time on the infiltration behavior of molten Al and microstructure. When the pure Al was infiltrated into mixtures of Mg and $Al_2O_3$ powder, processing temperature required to spontaneous infiltration was decreased and critical processing temperature and Mg content were $700^{\circ}C$ and 3wt% respectively. The content of Mg was found the most powerful variable for infiltration of molten Al. The infiltration ratio increased with Mg content and processing temperature, however the $Al_2O_3/Al$ composites which were fabricated by high Mg content and processing temperature resulted in non uniform dispersion of $Al_2O_3$ particles by excessive interfacial reaction. XRD pattern indicated that $MgAl_2O_4$ and AIN was observed at the interface of $Al_2O_3$ particles and in the Al matrix as reaction products.

A new process of emulsiion-spray pyrolysis for synthesizing ceramic powders was developed and the characteristics of Al2O3-20w/o ZrO2 composite powders prepared by this method were investigated. The composite powders synthesized in this study were spherical dense particles with 0.1~0.4${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ of diameter. As found in powders derived by the emulsion-hot kerosene drying method, all zirconia in Al2O3-20w/o ZrO2 powders heat-treated at 120$0^{\circ}C$ was in the tetragonal form at room temperature. The relative density and the fracture toughness of composites sintered at 1$650^{\circ}C$ for 4hrs were 95% and 5.2MPa.m1/2, respectively.

[ $Al_2O_3-MoO_3$ ]의 혼합물을 환원소성하면 $MoO_3$만 $900^{\circ}C$에서 Mo로 환원되고 $1300^{\circ}C$까지 $Al_2O_3$와 Mo간의 화합물은 형성되지 않았다. $Al_2O_3-MoO_3-MnO_2$, 혼합물의 경우, $900^{\circ}C$에서 먼저 $MnO_2$가 $MoO_3$와 반응하여 중간화합물 $Mn_2Mo_3O_8$를 형성하였다가. $1100^{\circ}C$와 $1300^{\circ}C$에서 $Mn_2Mo_3O_8$ 화합물은 사라지고 새로운 화합물 $MnAl_2O_4$가 생성되었다. $Al_2O_3$와 $MoO_3,\;MnO_2$의 혼합분말 중 Mo만이 선택적으로 환원되는 selective reduction process에 의해 $Al_2O_3/Mo/MnO_2$ 복합재를 제조하였다. $Al_2O_3/Mo$ 복합재의 경우 Mo의 함량이 증가함에도 불구하고 Mo입자가 $Al_2O_3$ matrix의 입성장을 억제하여 평균입경의 변화는 거의 없었다. 파괴강도는 $Al_2O_3$ matrix의 입성장 억제 현상 때문에 Mo의 함량이 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 경도는 Mo의 낮은 경도값 때문에 약간 감소하였으나 반면에 파괴인성은 증가하였다. $Al_2O_3/Mo/MnO_2$ 복합재의 경우 $MnO_2$는 matrix의 입성장을 촉진시켰고, Mo와 $MnO_2$의 함량이 증가함에 따라 $MnO_2$의 입성장효과 때문에 오히려 낮은 파괴강도를 보였다. 경도는 입계에 존재하는 coalesced Mo 입자들과 matrix의 입성장 때문에 더욱 감소하였으나 반면에 파괴인성은 더욱 증가하는 경 향을 보였다.
