RBSC (reaction-bonded silicon carbide) represents a family of composite ceramics processed by infiltrating with molten silicon into a skeleton of SiC particles and carbon in order to fabricate a fully dense body of silicon carbide. RBSC has been commercially used and widely studied for many years, because of its advantages, such as relatively low temperature for fabrication and easier to form components with near-net-shape and high relative density, compared with other sintering methods. In this study, RBSC was fabricated with different size of SiC in the raw material. Microstructure, thermal and mechanical properties were characterized with the reaction-sintered samples in order to examine the effect of SiC size on the thermal and mechanical properties of RBSC ceramics. Especially, phase volume fraction of each component phase, such as Si, SiC, and C, was evaluated by using an image analyzer. The relationship between microstructures and physical properties was also discussed.

The combustion reaction of polyvinylchloride(PVC) was investigated using a thermogravimetric technique under an air atmosphere condition at several heating rates from 10 to 50℃/min. To obtain information on the kinetic parameters, the dynamic thermogravimetric analysis curve and its derivative were analyzed by a variety of analytical methods such as Kissinger, Friedman, Chatterjee-Conrad, Ozawa and Coats-Redfern methods. The combustion reaction of PVC proceeded in two steps; the first step was caused by the dehydrochlorination process in PVC, and the second step by the combustion of polyene. The comparative works for the kinetic results obtained from various methods should be performed to determine the kinetic parameters, because there are tremendous differences in the calculated kinetic parameters depending upon the mathematical method taken in the analysis.

Water-soluble cutting fluids are used for processing of aluminium materials. This short article describes properties of new additives of water-soluble cutting fluids for aluminium materials. Various Diels-Alder adducts of unsaturated fatty acids with acrylic acid of maleic anhydride were prepared by thermal reactions. Triethanolamine salts of Diels-Alder adducts of dehydrated castor oil fatty acids with acrylic acid or maleic anhydride showed excellent anti-corrosion property of aluminium materals. These thermal adducts showed anti-rust property for cast-iron chips, too.

니켈기 주조용 합금 738LC를 816˚C와 982˚C에서 크리프 파단 시험과 열간 노출시험을 통해 온도와 응력 변화에 따른 파단양상, 탄화물과 σ상의 석출 거동에 대해 조사하였다. 816˚C/440MPa에서는 크리프 파단양상이 전단변형에 의한 입내파괴를 나타내었으나, 982˚C/152MPa에서는 표면과 접하는 결정입계에서 입계산화에 의해 표면에너지의 감소로 균열이 나타나 진행되는 입계파괴가 나타났다. M(sub)23C(sub)6 탄화물이 816˚C에서는 주로 결정입계에서와 전단변형에 의한 입내균열을 따라 석출하였으나, 982˚C에서는 결정입계 뿐만 아니라 입내에서는 석출하였으며 석출양은 증가하였다. σ상은 Cr(sub)23C(sub)6 탄화물에서 핵생성 후 기지로 성장하며, 온도가 높고 응력이 주어지면 Cr(sub)23C(sub)6 탄화물의 양이 증가하여 σ상의 석출도 많아졌다.

5-64.3mol% AI2O3를 함유하는 AIN(1wt% Y2O3)의 1650-1900˚C 상압소결에 따른 치밀화 거동, 미세구조, 열전도도가 검토 되었다. XRD 분석결과, AION(5NIN ?9 AI2O3 ), 27R AIN다형, AIN이 소결체의 주상으로서 동정되었다. AI2O3 의 함량이 증가할수록 소결체의 부피밀도는 증가 하였다. AION을 기지상으로 하는 물질(≥ 30mol% AI2O3 )인 경우는 1750˚C 소결에서 최대의 부피밀도를 나타내었으며, AIN을 기지상으로 하는 경우(5mol% AI2O3 ) 는 소결온도가 증가할수록 밀도가 감소하였다. Y2O3의 존재하에서 주로 1850˚C이상에서 AI2O3 와 AIN의 반응에 으해서 액상이 생성되었다. AION을 기지로 하는 물질의 치밀화는 주로 액상의생성 및 AION의 입성장에 의해서 지배되었으나, AIN을 기지로 하는 물질에 있어서는 1650˚C에서 액상이 생성되었고, 소결온도가 1900˚C까지 상승할 동안 AIN의 입성장은 크게 일어나지 않았다. AI2O3 함량이 증가할수록 낮은 열도도를 갖는 다량의 AION 및 액상의 생성으로 인하여 소결체의열전도도는 감소 하였다. 5mol% AI2O3 를 함유한 1900˚C 소결체가 최대의 열전도도(77.9W/(m?k))를 나타내었다.

Diglycidyll ether of bisphenol A(DGEBA)/4, 4'-methylene dianiline(MDA)계에 반응성 첨가제 malononitrile(MN)을 첨가하면 내충격성은 크게 향상되나 반응속도는 감소하게 된다. 에폭시 수지의 경화반응은 에폭시기가 개환되어 생성되는 히드록시기가 촉매로 작용하는 자촉매 반응이며, 외부에서도입된 히드록시기도 같은 효과를 나타낸다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 DGEBA/MDA/MN 계의경화 반응속도를 증가시키기 위해 히드록시기를 가진 촉매로서 hydroquinone(HQ)을 도입하였고 이들 계의경화특성 및 열적성질을 고찰하였다. HQ가 첨가됨으로 인해 활성화 에너지는 감속하고 속도상수는 증가하였으며, 발열곡선에서 반응 시작온도가 낮아졌다. 이 결과로부터 HQ가 반응 가속제로 작용하고 있음을 알 수 있다.

실리콘 산화막을 N2O 분위기에서 RTP로 제조하여 그 성장 기구를 고찰 했다. 산화막과 기판 실리콘 계면 사이에 질소성분이 포함된 oxynitride층이 존재한다. N2O 기체를 이용한 산화막 성장은 삼화제 확산에 의해 성장이 지배되는 포물선 성장론을 따르고 산화제 확산 억제작용은 실리콘 산화막과 실리콘 기판사이에 존재하는 oxynitride막에서 일어난다. 확산이 산화막 성장을 결정하는 구간에서 포물선 성장율 상수 B의 활성화 에너지는 약 1.5 eV이고 산화막 두께 증가에 따라 증가한다.

Slaughter of cattle, pigs, and chickens is continuously increasing. Slaughter of chickens has especially increased by approximately 50% from 2003. The quantity of poultry slaughter waste is currently approximately 120,000 tons/year, and undergoes consigned treatment. Via this process, the waste must be used as a resource and an energy source. For this purpose, the waste volume can be reduced and solid fuel can be obtained from the THR (Thermal Hydrolysis Reaction) that consumes a small amount of energy. In this study, The test was conducted at a reaction temperature of 170-220oC and for 1h at the final temperature. According to the CST (Capillary Suction Time) and TTF (Time to Filter) evaluation, the dehydrating efficiency was good after the temperature reached 190oC, and did not significantly differ at the 190oC and higher reaction temperatures. The heating value of the dehydrated solid product was 7,000-7,700 kcal/kg, and its yield rate decreased from approximately 80% to 60% with the increase in the reaction temperature. The results of the BMP test also showed that the anaerobic digestion efficiency decreased at the reaction temperatures of 200oC and higher. From the overall evaluation of the dehydrating efficiency, solid fuel quality, and anaerobic digestion efficiency during the thermal hydrolysis of poultry slaughter waste, it is concluded that the optimal operating temperature is 190oC.

Diverse studies are being conducted on sewage sludge treatment and recycling methods, but the demand for a lowcost treatment technology is high because the sewage sludge has an 80% or higher water content and a high energy consumption cost. For this purpose, the waste volume can be reduced and solid fuel can be obtained from the Thermal Hydrolysis Reaction (THR) that consumes a small amount of energy. The experiment was conducted at a reaction temperature of 170-220oC and maintain for 1 hour at the final temperature. According to the Capillary Suction Time (CST) and Time to Filter (TTF) evaluation, the dewater ability was good after the temperature reached 200oC and did not significantly differ at the 200oC and higher reaction temperatures. The heating value of the dehydrated solid product was 3,800-4,200 kcal/kg, and its yield rate decreased from approximately 80% to 60% with the increase in the reaction temperature. To evaluate the efficiency of anaerobic digestion, the water quality of the liquid product was analyzed based on the reaction temperature. At the temperatures of 200oC and higher, the concentration of ammonia, which increases the pH and hinders anaerobic digestion rapidly increased. From the overall evaluation of the dehydrating efficiency, solid fuel quality, and anaerobic digestion efficiency during the thermal hydrolysis of sewage sludge, it is concluded that the optimal operating temperature is 200oC.
