초록
첨가된 소결조제가 다른 $Si_{3}N_{4}/20$ vol% SiC 초미립복합재료의 파괴강도를 측정하였다. 소결조제로서 6 wt% $Y_{2}O_{3}$와 2 wt% $Al_{2}O_{3}$를 사용한 시편의 실온강도는 높았지만 낮은 입계상의 연화온도에 기인하여 급격한 강도저하가 나타났다. 소결조제로서 8 wt% $Y_{2}O_{3}$만을 사용한 시편의 $1400^{\circ}C$에서의 고온강도가 높았는데 이는 높은 입계상 연화온도와 입계유리상의 결정화에 기인하는 것으로 판단하였다.
Fracture strength of $Si_{3}N_{4}/20$ vol% SiC nanocomposites with fifferent sintering additives was measured. Strength of nanocomposites with 6 wt% $Y_{2}O_{3}$ and 2 wt% $Al_{2}O_{3}$ as sintering additives was higher at room temperature but significant strength degradation at elevated temperature was occured due to the softening of grain boundary phase. Fracture strength of 8 wt% $Y_{2}O_{3}$ doped sample was higher than that of $Al_{2}O_{3}$ added sample at $1400^{\circ}C$. The retention of high temperature strength in 8 wt% $Y_{2}O_{3}$ doped sample can be attributed to high softening temperature and crystallization of grain boundary glassy phase.
