A composite of TiB2-Al2O3 system was successfully prepared from a mixture of TiO2, B2O3, and Al by self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) with a novel characteristic, utilizing the internal oxidation heat of aluminium metal of the mixture, instead of by a conventional technique, externally heating a mixture of Ti, B and Al2O3. From a mixture with B/Ti molar ratio of =2.0, pure two phases of TiB2 and $\alpha$-Al2O3 with good crystallinity and small, uniform sizes were formed. However, when the B/Ti molar ratio of the mixture goes to a value less than 2.0, in addition to the above main minerals, a small smounts of metastable phases such as TiB and Ti3B4 were formed. It was found that about 60%, the optimum green density of compacts gave their highest reaction rate and temperature during SHS process. TiB2-Al2O3 system composite with B/Ti molar ratio of =2.0 could be pressurelessly sintered even at 190$0^{\circ}C$ under Ar gas flows without any addition of sintering aids, showing their good properties such as 91.2% in relative density, 2750 kgf/$\textrm{mm}^2$ in Vickers hardness and 2620 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ in flexural strength.

Microstructural variation and strengthening effects with lamination methods of alumina fiber-reinforced ${\gamma}$-LiAlO2 matrixes for Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell(MCFC) were studied. The porosities of all matrix laminated by hot-pressing of two green sheets under 1 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 45$^{\circ}C$ for 1 min and by double-casting which the second layer cast on the first green sheet dried for 3.5h were more than 50%. The strength of the Al2O3 fiber-reinforced matrix prepared by lamination was enhanced by 70% in comparison with the non-laminated matrix (115 gf/$\textrm{mm}^2$) and the strength-directionality due to fiber-orientation also could be removed. The strength of matrixes laminated by triple-casting was higher than that of the double-cast matrix, but triple-cast matrix showed the directionality with the casting direction, and furthermore its porosity was less than 50%. Although the strength of matrixes laminated by double-casting (195 gf/$\textrm{mm}^2$) is slightly less than that of matrixes laminated by hot-pressing (212 gf/$\textrm{mm}^2$), the double-casting method was evaluated to be more efficient laminating process in MCFC matrix processing.

The formation of , $\beta$-quartz solid solution in the $LiO_2-Al_2O_3-SiO_2$glasses containing $TiO_{2}$ and $ZrO_{2}$ as nucleating agents was investigated for various temperatures and times. Linear thermal expansion coefficients of base glasses and crystallized glasses were $45\sim 55 \times 10^{-7} \textrm{cm}/^{\circ}C$ and $ -8\sim +8 \times 10^{-7}\textrm{cm}/^{\circ}C$ ($25^{\circ}C \sim 525^{\circ}C$), respectively. The crystal phase formed by heat-treatment below $900^{\circ}C$was , $\beta$--quartz solid solution, and the crystal sizes were less than 0.21m. On the other hand, the crystal size of the base glasses containing 3.5 wt% MgO is relatively uniform and is independent with temperature. The specimen containing 3.5 wt% ZnO shows a minimum crystal size(O.l8$\mu \textrm{m}$), and it strongly depends on temperature of heat-treatment.

Saponite was synthesized from talc by hydrothermal method. The starting material was prepared by adding ($NO_3$)$Al_3$$.$$9H_2$O and Mg($NO_3$)$_2$$.$$6H_2$O solution to the talc powder. which was previously activated in air at 800 $^{\circ}C$ together with $Na_2$$CO_3$. The alkalinity of the solution was controlled by $NH_4$OH solution. The autoclaving was carried out in the closed stainless steel vessel (about 1 liter) for 40 hours under the pressure of 25 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at $ 230^{\circ}C$ The characterization of the reaction product shows that saponite was crystallized successfully. After the experimental results, pressure was not sensitive parameter in the range of 25 ∼ 75 kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$, but longer reaction time results in better crystallinity.

5-64.3mol% AI$_{2}$O$_{3}$를 함유하는 AIN(1wt% $Y_{2}$O$_{3}$)의 1650-190$0^{\circ}C$ 상압소결에 따른 치밀화 거동, 미세구조, 열전도도가 검토 되었다. XRD 분석결과, AION(5NIN \ulcorner9 AI$_{2}$O$_{3}$ ), 27R AIN다형, AIN이 소결체의 주상으로서 동정되었다. AI$_{2}$O$_{3}$ 의 함량이 증가할수록 소결체의 부피밀도는 증가 하였다. AION을 기지상으로 하는 물질($\geq$ 30mol% AI$_{2}$O$_{3}$ )인 경우는 175$0^{\circ}C$ 소결에서 최대의 부피밀도를 나타내었으며, AIN을 기지상으로 하는 경우(5mol% AI$_{2}$O$_{3}$ ) 는 소결온도가 증가할수록 밀도가 감소하였다. $Y_{2}$O$_{3}$의 존재하에서 주로 185$0^{\circ}C$이상에서 AI$_{2}$O$_{3}$ 와 AIN의 반응에 으해서 액상이 생성되었다. AION을 기지로 하는 물질의 치밀화는 주로 액상의생성 및 AION의 입성장에 의해서 지배되었으나, AIN을 기지로 하는 물질에 있어서는 1$650^{\circ}C$에서 액상이 생성되었고, 소결온도가 190$0^{\circ}C$까지 상승할 동안 AIN의 입성장은 크게 일어나지 않았다. AI$_{2}$O$_{3}$ 함량이 증가할수록 낮은 열도도를 갖는 다량의 AION 및 액상의 생성으로 인하여 소결체의열전도도는 감소 하였다. 5mol% AI$_{2}$O$_{3}$ 를 함유한 190$0^{\circ}C$ 소결체가 최대의 열전도도(77.9W/(m\ulcornerk))를 나타내었다.

The sintering behaviors of the renewed $Al_2$O$_3$ceramics were investigated as functions of the addition amount and particle size of recycling $Al_2$O$_3$powder, such as crushed powder of structural $Al_2$O$_3$ceramics and waste $Al_2$O$_3$adsorbent, were investigated. Pure $Al_2$O$_3$sample was fabricated by sintered at 1,$650^{\circ}C$ for 5h and it was crushed into powder (-40${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$and +40${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ in particle size) by thermal shock treatment and crushing. Then, 10~50wt% of crushed $Al_2$O$_3$powder and waste $Al_2$O$_3$adsorbent were mixed with pure $Al_2$O$_3$powder and were subjected to re-sintering to renewed $Al_2$O$_3$sample. The density and the 3-point bending strength increased with increasing the sintering temperature without regard to the addition amount and particle size of recycling $Al_2$O$_3$powder, and that of the samples at the same sintering temperature decreased with increasing the addition amount and particle size of recycling $Al_2$O$_3$powder. Samples over 200 Mpa of 3-point bending strength were obtained by mixing ~30wt% of crushed $Al_2$O$_3$powder(-40${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$), ~20wt% of crushed $Al_2$O$_3$powder (+40${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) and 10wt% of waste $Al_2$O$_3$adsorbent. 5~20wt% of waste glass powder containing renewed $Al_2$O$_3$samples for densification were fabricated by sintered at 1200~1$650^{\circ}C$ for 5h. The temperature of maximum density and 3-point bending strength decreased with increasing the addition amount of waste glass powder, however, these samples at above 140$0^{\circ}C$ showed lower density and bending strength than renewed $Al_2$O$_3$samples. The addition of waste glass powder did not improved the densification of renewed $Al_2$O$_3$sample.

In this paper, a study of thermal response of two types of functionally graded materials (FCM) plates composed of $\textrm{Al}_2\textrm{O}_3$ and Ti-6Al-4V is presented. The material properties of the functionally graded plates are assumed to vary continuously through the thickness of the plate according to a power law distribution of the volume fraction of the constituents. It is supposed that the top and bottom surfaces of the plate are heated and kept as constant thermal boundary conditions. The fundamental equations for rectangular plates of FGM are obtained using Hamilton's variational principles. The solution is obtained in terms of Navier Solution. The influence of volume fraction and temperature is studied on the static deflection and natural frequency of FCM plate.

The effect of SiC particle size on the microstructures and mechanical properties of A1$_2$O$_3$-SiC composite was investigated. Two types of SiC powders having average particle sizes of 0.15 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and 3 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ were used. The grain growth in the specimen containing 0.15 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ SiC was effectively inhibited due to the fine SiC particles. However, after the formation of some abnormal grains, fast and exaggerated grain growth occurred which led to the microstructure of large grains with irregular shape. Fracture strength decreased due to the abnormal large grains. On the other hand, for specimen containing 3 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ SiC showed normal grain growth behavior from initial sintering stage. Large SiC particles, however, effectively inhibited exaggerated grain growth after nucleation of a few abnormal grains. As a consequence, microstructure consisted of homogeneous elongated grains. In the A1$_2$O$_3$-2.5SiC(0.15 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$)-2.5SIC(3 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) composite fabricated by mixing the two types of SiC powder, abnormal grain growth occurred. However, the good fracture strength was maintained regardless of microstructural changes in this specimen.

To improve the mechanical properties of $Al_2$O$_3$/ZrO$_2$composites, the homogeneous dispersion of ultra low size ZrO$_2$ particles in $Al_2$O$_3$ceramics have been controlled by coprecipitation method. In case of mechanical mixing of ZrO$_2$ powders with $Al_2$O$_3$, homogeneous dispersion and controlling the ZrO$_2$ size were relatively difficult due to high sintering temperature. So nanosized Zr hydroxide was coprecipitated from ZrOCl$_2$/Y(NO$_3$)$_3$ solution with commercial sub-micron sized $\alpha$-alumina (Sumitomo : AES-11(0.4 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$)) and high purity ultra low sized $\alpha$-alumina (Taimei Chemical (0.22 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$)) for low temperature sintering. By this partial coprecipitation method, relatively low sized ZrO$_2$ dispersion in $Al_2$O$_3$/ZrO$_2$ composites was achieved at 150$0^{\circ}C$-1$600^{\circ}C$ of sintering temperature range and their mechanical properties were measured.
