Abstract

When $Al_2O_3-MoO_3$ mixture is reduced, $MoO_3$ is only reduced to Mo at $900^{\circ}C$. But a compound between $Al_2O_3$ and Mo is not formed up to $1300^{\circ}C$. In the case of $Al_2O_3-MoO_3-MnO_2$ mixture, an intermediate compound $Mn_2Mo_3O_8$ is firstly formed at $900^{\circ}C$ and changes to $MnAl_2O_4$ at $1100^{\circ}C{\sim}1300^{\circ}C$. $Al_2O_3/Mo/MnO_2$ composite are manufactured by a selective reduction process in which Mo is only reduced in the powder mixture of $Al_2O_3,\;MoO_3\;and\;MnO_2$ oxide. For $Al_2O_3/Mo$ composite, the average grain size was not changed with increasing Mo content because of inhibition of grain growth of $Al_2O_3$ matrix in the presence of Mo particles. Fracture strength increased with increasing Mo content due to phenomenon of grain growth inhibition of $Al_2O_3$ matrix. Hardness decreased because of a lower hardness value of Mo, whereas fracture toughness increased. For $Al_2O_3,\;Mo\;and\;MnO_2$ composite, grain growth was facilitated by MnOB and it showed a lower fracture strength because of grain growth effect with increasing Mo and $MnO_2$ content. Hardness decreased because of the grain growth of matrix and coalesced Mo particles to be located in grain boundary, whereas fracture toughness increased.

[ $Al_2O_3-MoO_3$ ]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.
