Abstract

To improve mechanical properties of $Al_2$O$_3$/ZrO$_2$composites have been controlled dispersion of ultra low size ZrO$_2$ particles in $Al_2$O$_3$ ceramics by polymeric precursor method (Pechini process). In case of coprecipitation or mechanical mixing of ZrO$_2$ powders with $Al_2$O$_3$, homogeneous dispersion and controlling the ZrO$_2$ size were relatively difficult due to high sintering temperature. So the polyesterization process of Zr/Y(NO$_3$)$_3$-citric acid solution in ethylene glycol with the commercial sub-micron sized o(-alumina powder (Sumitomo AES-11(0.4 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$)) was adopted in order to obtain homogeneous dispersion of ZrO$_2$ in A1203. By this partial polyesterization process, the homogeneous dispersion of relatively low sized ZrO$_2$in $Al_2$O$_3$/ZrO$_2$composites was achieved at 1450∼1$600^{\circ}C$ of sintering temperature range and their mechanical properties were measured.

Al$_2$O$_3$/ZrO$_2$복합체의 기계적 성질 향상을 위하여 분산되는 ZrO$_2$상을 Zr-Y-polyester의 고분자화(polyesterization) 공정(Pechin법)을 이용하여 알루미나 기지 중에 초미립으로 균질하게 분산시키기 위한 방안을 고찰하여 보았다. 일반적으로 공침법에 의해 제조되는 $Al_2$O$_3$/ZrO$_2$ 복합체의 경우 초기 ZrO$_2$입자의 크기가 매우 작아도 알루미나 내에 분산되는 ZrO$_2$입자가 소결시에 비교적 빠르게 성장 및 입자간의 응집이 발생하게 되며 이로 인해 분산의 불균일을 유발하여 미세하고 균질한 복합체를 얻기가 힘들다. 따라서 상용 이소결성 $\alpha$-Al$_2$O$_3$분말(Sumitomo.AES-11(0.5$mu extrm{m}$))에 ZrO(NO$_3$)$_2$와 Y(NO$_3$)$_3$를 citric acid/ethylene glycol과 혼합한 polyesterization시켜 $\alpha$-Al$_2$O$_3$입자 표면에 미세하고 균질하게 코팅 형태로 부착되도록 하였다. 이를 90$0^{\circ}C$에서 하소한 후 1450∼1$600^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 소결하여 미세한 ZrO$_2$입자가 매우 균질하게 분산된 $Al_2$O$_3$/ZrO$_2$ 복합체를 제조하였으며 이의 기계적 성질을 관찰하였다.
