An ultra-high temperature ceramic, tantalum carbide, has received much attention for its favorable characteristics: a superior melting point and chemical compatibility with carbon and other carbides. One drawback is the high temperature erosion of carbon/carbon (C/C) composites. To address this drawback, we deposited TaC on C/C with silicon carbide as an intermediate layer. Prior to the TaC deposition, the TaCl5-C3H6-H2 system was thermodynamically analyzed with FactSage 6.2 and compared with the TaCl5-CH4-H2 system. The results confirmed that the TaCl5-C3H6-H2 system had a more realistic cost and deposition efficiency than TaCl5-CH4-H2. A dense and uniform TaC layer was successfully deposited under conditions of Ta/C = 0.5, 1200 oC and 100 torr. This study verified that the thermodynamic analysis is appropriate as a guide and prerequisite for carbide deposition.

SiC-based composite materials with light weight, high durability, and high-temperature stability have been actively studied for use in aerospace and defense applications. Moreover, environmental barrier coating (EBC) technologies using oxide-based ceramic materials have been studied to prevent chemical deterioration at a high temperature of 1300℃ or higher. In this study, an ytterbium silicate material, which has recently been actively studied as an environmental barrier coating because of its high-temperature chemical stability, is fabricated on a sintered SiC substrate. Yb2O3 and SiO2 are used as the raw starting materials to form ytterbium disilicate (Yb2Si2O7). Suspension plasma spraying is applied as the coating method. The effect of the mixing method on the particle size and distribution, which affect the coating formation behavior, is investigated using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), an energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. It is found that the originally designed compounds are not effectively formed because of the refinement and vaporization of the raw material particles, i.e., SiO2, and the formation of a porous coating structure. By changing the coating parameters such as the deposition distance, it is found that a denser coating structure can be formed at a closer deposition distance.

This manuscript reports on compared color evolution about phase transformation of α-FeOOH@SiO2 and β-FeOOH@SiO2 pigments. Prepared α-FeOOH and β-FeOOH were coated with silica for enhancing thermal properties and coloration of both samples. To study phase and color of α-FeOOH and β-FeOOH, we prepared nano sized iron oxide hydroxide pigments which were coated with SiO2 using tetraethylorthosilicate and cetyltrimethyl-ammonium bro- mide as a surface modifier. The silica-coated both samples were calcined at high temperatures (300, 700 and 1000°C) and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, CIE L*a*b* color parameter measurements, transmission electron microscopy and UV-vis spectroscopy. The yellow α-FeOOH and β-FeOOH was transformed to α-Fe2O3 with red, brown at 300, 700°C, respectively.

보행하중을 받는 바닥판 구조물의 진동해석을 위해서 일반적으로 계측한 보행하중을 적용하거나 Bachmann의 보행하중식을 사용하게 된다. 다양한 매개변수의 영향을 받는 보행하중은 계측이 쉽지 않으며 Bachmann 보행하중식은 보행진동수가 2.OHz와 2.4Hz로 제한적이기 때문에 다양한 보행진동수에 따른 보행하중을 적용하기가 곤란하다. 따라서 보행하중을 받는 구조물의 진동해석을 위해서 보행하중의 매개변수 분석과 다양한 보행진동수에 적용이 가능한 보행하중의 모형화가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 로드셀이 장착된 계측 플레이트를 이용하여 바닥판에 가해지는 보행하중을 직접 계측하고 매개변수를 분석하였다. 그리고 퓨리에 변환을 이용하여 계측한 보행하중을 다양한 진동수를 가지는 조화하중으로 분해하였다. 분해과정을 거쳐 얻은 조화하중의 계수들을 보행진동수에 대한 일정한 함수관계로 유도하여 보행하중을 모형화하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 보행하중식을 이용하면 다양한 보행진동수에 따라 다르게 나타나는 보행하중을 구조물의 진동해석에 용이하게 적용할 수 있다.

WC-Co 계의 입성장 억제는 현재 초경합금 분야에서 공학적으로 가장 중요한 이슈들 중의 하나이다 VC를 비롯한 입방정 탄화물이나 등의 여러 가지 탄화 물이 혼합되어 입성장 억제에 이용되는데 입성장 억제의 효과는 대략적으로 용해되는 탄화물의 양에 의존하고 있는 것으로 추정된다. 보다 효율적으로 입성장 억제를 실현하려면 입성장 기구를 명확히 할 필요가 있다. 최 등[1]은 VC가 WC 입자 표면 에서의 edge energy를 증가시켜서 2차원 핵생성의
