Abstract

As applications in extreme environments such as aerospace, high-energy plasma and radio-active circumstances increases, the demand for materials that require higher melting points, higher mechanical strength and improved thermal conductivity continues to increase. Accordingly, in order to improve the oxidation/abrasion resistance of the carbon-carbon composite, which is a typical heat-resistant material, a method of using ultra high temperature ceramics was reviewed. The advantages and disadvantages of CVD coating, pack cementation and thermal plasma spraying, the simplest methods for synthesizing ultra-high temperature ceramics, were compared. As a method for applying the CVD coating method to C/C composites with complex shapes, the possibility of using thermodynamic calculation and CFD simulation was proposed. In addition, as a result of comparing the oxidation resistance of the TaC/SiC bi-layer coating and TaC/SiC multilayer coating produced by this method, the more excellent oxidation resistance of the multilayer coating on C/C was confirmed.

우주공간, 고에너지 플라즈마, 방사선 조사 환경과 같은 극한환경에서의 응용 분야가 증가함에 따라 더 높은 용융점 및 기계적 강도, 열전도도의 향상을 필요로 하는 재료에 대한 수요가 계속적으로 증가하고 있다. 이에 따라 대표적인 내열 소재인 탄소-탄소 복합체의 내산화/내삭마 특성을 개선하기 위하여 초고온 세라믹스를 이용하는 방법에 대하여 리뷰하였다. 초고온 세라믹스를 합성하는 가장 간단한 방법인 CVD 코팅법과 다른 코팅법인 pack cementation, 용사법의 장단점을 서로 비교하였다. 복잡한 형상의 C/C 복합체에 CVD 코팅법을 적용하기 위한 방법으로 열역학 계산 및 CFD 시뮬레이션의 활용 가능성을 제안하였다. 또한 이런 방법을 통하여 제작한 TaC/SiC 이중 층 코팅과 TaC/SiC 다중 층 코팅의 내산화 특성을 비교한 결과, 다중 층 코팅을 적용하였을 때 더 뛰어난 내산화성을 보이는 것을 확인하였다.
