Abstract

Silicon carbide ( SiC ) materials have been extensively studied for high temperature components in advanced energy system and advanced gas turbine. The SiC ceramics have been fabricated by a NITE (Nano Infiltration Transient Eutectic Phase) Process, using Nano- SiC powder. The sintering additives used for forming liquid phase under sintering process, used the sintering additives ratios were an Al 2 O 3- Y 2 O 3 system or add SiO 2 contents. A major R&D focus for the SiC ceramics is the production to obtain high purity SiC ceramics. In this study, we investigated roles of the sintering additives( Al 2 O 3: Y 2 O 3) to fabrication of the SiC ceramics. The effects of SiO 2 contents and density properties of the SiC ceramics were also investigated. To investigate the effects of SiO 2, Al 2 O 3/ Y 2 O 3 composition were fixed and then SiO 2 ratios were changed as several kinds, and to confirm the effects of sintering additives ratios ( Al 2 O 3: Y 2 O 3) they were changed between 4:6 and 6:4 in x wt.%.
