Abstract

In order to investigate the effect of second phase on $Al_2O_3$ matrix, SiC particles were dispersed in $Al_2O_3$ matrix as a second phase over the content range of 5 vol.% to 20 vol.%. To this mixture, $Y_2O_3$ or $TiO_2$ powders were added as a sintering additive before isostatically pressing and pressurelessly sintering at 180$0^{\circ}C$ for 90 min in $N_2$ atmosphere. With increasing SiC content, relative densities of composites were decreased but mechanical properties of composites were improvjed. In the case of adding $Y_2O_3$ as a sintering additive, maximum values of flexural strength, hardness and fracture toughness were 525 MPa, 17.1 GPa, 4.1 MPa.m1/2 respectively. In the case of adding X$TiO_2$ as a sintering additive, maximum values of flexural strength, hardness were 285 MPa, 12.1 GPa respectively. Improved mechanical properties were found to be the results of grain growth control of $Al_2O_3$ matrix and crack deflection by the second phase SiC particles.

$Al_2O_3$ 기지에 미치는 2차상의 영향을 알아보기 위하여 SiC 입자를 5~20vol.% 분산시키고 소결조제로서 $TiO_2$ 또는 RY_2O_3$를 2.5wt.%첨가하여 180$0^{\circ}C$, $N_2$분위기 중에서 90분간 상압소결 하였다. SiC함량이 증가함에 따라 소결체의 밀도는 감소하였지만 기계적 물성은 증가하여 $Y_2O_3$를 소결조제로 첨가한 경우, 꺾임강도는 525MPa, 경도는 17.1GPa,파괴인성은 4.1 MPa.$m^{1/2}$ 정도의 최고값을 나타내었고 반면 $TiO_2$를 소결조제로 첨가한 경우 꺾임강도 285MPa , 경도 12.1GPa 정도의 값을 나타냈다. 그리고 이와 같은 기계적 물성의 증진은 주로 SiC의 복합화에 따른 균열의 편향과 $Al_2O_3$ 의 입자성장억제효과에 의한 것으로 밝혀졌다.
