초록

B$_4$C/Al 복합체의 기계적 물성은 제조 과정에서 B$_4$C와 Al의 반응에 의한 반응생성물의 종류와 양에 의해서 결정되므로, 강하고 경량 소재로서의 특성이 요구되는 복합체를 만들려면 반응생성물을 조절할 필요가 있다. TiB$_2$는 알루미늄과 반응성이 거의 없고 B$_4$C보다 낮은 접촉각(100$0^{\circ}C$에서 85$^{\circ}$)을 가지고 있다. 그러므로 B$_4$C를 TiB$_2$로 코팅하면 B$_4$C/Al복합체를 함침법으로 제조하는 경우 알루미늄의 함침 온도를 낮출 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 TiB$_2$가 B$_4$C/Al 복합체의 미세구조와 기계적 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. TiB$_2$를 코팅한 B$_4$C 분말을 졸겔법을 이용하여 준비하였다. B$_4$C 입자에 코팅된 TiB$_2$ 입자 크기는 20-50 nm이었다. TiB$_2$를 코팅하고 제작한 B$_4$C/Al 복합체에는 l7wt%의 미반응 알루미늄이 남아있었고, 코팅하지 않고 제작한 것에는 l4 wt%가 남았다. 결과적으로 코팅하고 제작한 복합체는 코팅하지 않고 제작한 것보다 파괴인성은 높고 경도는 낮았으며, 이러한 결과에서 TiB$_2$가 알루미늄의 함침 온도를 낮추고 B$_4$C와 Al이 반응하는 것을 억제하고 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The mechanical properties of B$_4$C/Al composites normally depend on the species and quantity of reaction products between B$_4$C and Al and then the control of reaction products is necessary to make desirable composites for lightweight advanced or armor materials. TiB$_2$ is chemically inert with aluminum and has a lower contact angle (85$^{\circ}$ at 100$0^{\circ}C$) to liquid aluminum than B$_4$C. Thus, TiB$_2$ coating on B$_4$C may lower infiltration temperature of aluminum when the B$_4$C/Al composites is fabricated by infiltration process. In this study, the effects of TiB$_2$ on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the B$_4$C/Al composites have been investigated. TiB$_2$ coated B$_4$C powder was prepared using the sol-gel technique. It was found that the B$_4$C surface is homogeneously covered with TiB$_2$ having a particles size of 20-50 nm. While the B$_4$C/Al composites prepared by infiltration after TiB$_2$ coating had 17 wt% of unreacted Al, on the other hand, the B$_4$C/Al composites without coating included 14 wt% of Al. As a result, the composites infiltrated after the coating showed higher fracture toughness and lower hardness. This strongly suggests that TiB$_2$ not only lowers the infiltration temperature, but also inhibits the reaction between B$_4$C and Al.
