Yield strength of titanium carbide particle dispersion strengthened nickel alloys were measured in the temperature range of 800°to 1100°C by use of compression tests. Samples were prepared through the melting-pressing and HIP treatments from the hot pressed materials.
The yield strength of HIP samples lineally increased with increase of titanium carbide content from 10 to 40%, but that of melting-pressing sample showed maximum near 30% of titanium carbide.
It was found from SEM observations that titanium carbide particles grew and turned into spherical shapes due to melting treatment.

Recently, various kinds of oxide whisker have been developed which are much cheaper than SiC or Si
3N
4 whiskers. These oxide whiskers may be available for fillers which reinforce metal matrix composites. We have already studied on the microstructural change at interface and tensile properties of oxide whiskers reinforced aluminum and aluminum alloy matrices composites. The results were that aluminum borate whisker reinforced composite revealed the most superior specific strength and the most stable microstructure of all. The aim of this study was to make clear the fatigue behavior of the composite comparing with SiC whisker reinforced one. Fatigue limits were increased with volume fraction like that of SiC whisker reinforced one, however, the dependence of whisker volume fraction on fatigue strength was weaker than that for SiC whisker reinforced one. This difference was considered to be due to smaller aspect ratio of aluminum borate whisker which decreased more than that of SiC whisker with increasing whisker volume fraction.

Aluminum borate whisker reinforced Al-Cu and Al-Cu-Mg alloy matrix composites were fabricated by a squeeze casting. Aging behavior of the composites was investigated by means of hardness measurement and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It was found that there was an accelerated aging kinetics in the composites compared with the unreinforced Al alloys. DSC measurements indicated that the aging kinetics of the composite and unreinforced Al alloy were identical for Al-Cu matrix, but they were extremely different for AI-Cu-Mg alloy matrix. In the AI-Cu-Mg alloy matrix composite, magnesium in the matrix was consumed by reacting with the whiskers. As the results, the aging behavior of the Al-Cu-Mg alloy matrix composite was similar to that of the Al-Cu alloy matrix composite.

In the design of ceramic composites, composition is usually determined by mechanical properties. However, in order to promote industrialization of the composites, it is very important to consider the handling of particles. In this study, first composite particles with high dispersion of two components were formed by spray-drying of slurry, which rate of components was varied. And then we pressed and sintered to obtain A1
20
3-Zr0
2 composite. If the rate of Zr0
2 was relative high to give the composites tenacity, particles became light and rough, and ability of packing into mold remarkably went down. As a result, its handling must be harder, and then shrinkage increased in sintering. Besides the dispersion state of each component on the surface of sintered body could be quantitatively evaluated by X-ray elementary analysis.

Si-Ti-C-O fiber, which is prepared by pyrolysing melt-spun polytitanocarbosilane fibers at the temperature higher than 1000°C (Yajima method), has a high tensile strength. The structural evolution of Si-Ti-C-O fibers by pyrolysis temperature between 500° and 1400°C was investigated by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The SAXS intensities of the Si-Ti-C-O fibers pyrolysed at higher than 1000°C obey the Porod law at the scattering vector higher than about 4 nm
-1, while the Porod-decay cannot be observed in the SAXS intensities of the fibers pyrolysed below 800°C. The radii of gyration obtained from the SAXS intensities increase from 0.48 to 1.05 nm with increase in the pyrolysis temperature from 1000° to 1400°C. A conversion from organometallic polymer "polytitanocarbosilane" to ceramics "Si-Ti-C-O amorphous fiber" including β-SiC nano-clusters occurs drastically at the pyrolytic temperature of about 1000°C.

3N
4 powder was studied by TG, XRD and tensile test. At lower temperatures, the pyrolytic rates were unaffected by the presence of Si
3N
4 powder. The pyrolysis proceeded much more slowly in N
2 than in Ar. The pyrolysis was controlled by either the growth of $-SiC crystallites (in Ar) or the diffusion of the pyrolytic gases (SiO and CO) through the nitrided case of Nicalon (in N
2). At higher temperatures, the packing of Si
3N
4 powder retarded the pyrolysis in both Ar and N
2. The rate-determining step is considered to be the gaseous diffusion through the interparticle pores within the powder.

The pyrolytic behaviors of Si-C-O fiber (Nicalon) and Si-Ti-C-O fiber (Tyranno) in N
2 or Ar have been studied by TG, XRD and tensile test. At 1973K, the fibers pyrolyzed severely in both N
2 and Ar. Below 1923K, the fibers pyrolyzed more slowly in N
2 than in Ar. Consequently, in N
2, the crystalization to β-SiC was retarded and the tensile strength was held at a high level. The nitrogen bearing layer was formed on the surface of the fibers heated in N
2. This layer is considered to restrict the escape of the pyrolytic gases (SiO and CO) from the core.

t/SiC) were discussed. Fibrous preform of C
t/SiC composite was formed by filament winding and consolidated by hot pressing. Mechancal properties of C
t/SiC depended strongly on characteristics of carbonfibers, fabrication conditions and fiber/matrix interfacial properties. For obtaining the excellent C
t/SiC composite, it is important to choose carbon fibers with high durability under the processing, and it is necessary to fabricate the C
t/SiC composite with high density and appropriate fiber/matrix interfacial properties.

In this paper, bending strength and fracture behavior of carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide matrix composites (Cf/SiC) was discussed. The Cf/SiC was fabricated by Hot-Press sintering method. It was shown that the bending strength measured by three-point bending test at room temperture, depended on the specimen width of Cf/SiC and span/depth ratio. That is to say, the bending strength of Cf/SiC increased with specimen width, and were obtained maximum at span/depth ratio of 20 and constant values at span/depth ratio of larger than 20. Also, it was shown that fracture behaviour in bending tests depended on span length.

SiC thin film were continuously coated by CVD method on carbon bundle, which were consisted of thousands filaments. The film was made from high purity SiC and it was high dense. Each filaments of the bundle was coated homogeneously by sub-micron SiC. SiC⋅Cf/SiC composites were fabricated by using these surface modified carbon fibers. Characteristics and mechanical properties of SiC⋅Cf/SiC composite were compared with those of Cf/SiC composite. Mechanical properties of SiC⋅Cf/SiCcomposite differed from those of Cf/SiC composite. It was considered that the difference of them was caused by the decrease of the interfacial strength between fiber and matrix in SiC⋅Cf/SiC composites.

SiC coated carbon fiber (SiC⋅Cf) and carbon fiber (Cf) were used to fabricate SiC composites reinforced with unidirectionally oriented carbon fibers (Cf/SiC and SiC⋅Cf/SiC). Mechanical properties of SiC⋅Cf/SiC composite differed much from those of Cf/SiC composite. Flexural strengths at room temperature and 1450°C of SiC⋅Cf/SiC composite are smaller than those of Cf/SiC composite. On the othe hand, fracture energy of SiC⋅Cf/SiC composite is larger than that of Cf/SiC composite.
It was considered that the difference of them was caused by changes of the interfacial strength between fiber and matrix in the composite.

Ceramic composites have been prepared by incorporating ceramic particles or ceramic whiskers into ceramic matrix. Hitherto, thermal expansion coefficients of the inclusions should be lower than those of matrix since it was expected that compressive residual thermal stress resulted in the matrix according to the well-known Selsing's theory. X ray diffraction and neutron diffraction experiments however, revealed existence of uniform tensile stress in matrix in Al

3/SiC whisker composites or an Al

3 /SiC particulate composite. This paper tries to explain the discrepancy between the above theory and the experiments, according to the average stress theory developed by Mori and Tanaka in terms of image effects of inclusions proposed by Eshelby.

And a part of sintering aid existed at inside of β-SiAlON grains in SiC/β-SiAlON composites. SiC/β-SiAlON composites and annealed composite were raised the starting temperature of deformation in creep. It is considered that the rising temperatures result from suppressed slipping in the grain boundary, decrease and crystallization of the grain boundary glass phase.

2, and TaC addition on micro structure, high and room temperature Vickers hardness, and transverse rupture strength of submicron WC-8mass%Co hardmetal were investigated.
Results obtained were summarized as follows: Grain growth of mean grain size of WC was inhibited, and the mechanical properties of submicron hardmetals were improved by the addition of each carbide.
This raising of hardness was seemed to be governed by refinement of WC grains by the carbide addition. Vickers hardness of submicron hardmetals with carbide additions, at elevated temperature, are higher than that of these hardmetals without carbide addition. There are two different ranges of temperature dependence on hardness of submicron hardmetals. In this paper, the point of refraction is defined as "softening temperature." The softening temperature was higher in the order of no addition, VC, TaC, ZrC, MO
2C, and Cr

On the contrary, the amplitude relative permeability of samples in alternating magnetic field was higher in the case of 0.1-0.2% addition of oxide powder than no addition one. Though the relative permeability showed a change of increase and then decrease with rising the sintering temperature, proportion of the decrease in the relative permeability at the higher sintering temperature was restrained by addition of the oxide powder. These phenomena were discussed in the relation of sintered density, porosity and electrical resistivity.

Bonded soft ferrite using injection molding is expected to have applications, because it conforms with the trend toward miniaturization and complication of the shape of electronic devices, At present, the permeability of bonded soft ferrite is too low for it to have practical applications, because of the mixture of ferrite powder and resin. Increasing its permeability is thus an important problem to be solved. To this end, we used kneading and injection molding to produce bonded soft ferrites mixed with nylon resin and several kinds of NiCuZn ferrite powder with various size distributions, and then measured the soft magnetic properties and electric resistance of bonded NiCuZn ferrites.
