Gas pressure sintering is a promising process in various densification methods of high strength Si3N4 ceramics. Environmental influences on gas pressure sintering of Si3N4 was investigated with the variationof packing powder, specimen container and N2 gas pressure. The specimens had higher density, larger weight loss and inhomogeneous color in graphite specimen container than in SN26 crucible. The variations of sintering densities in various packing powders (Si3N4, SN26, AlN, BN) were very small but SiC powder was synthesised in graphite crucible with Si3N4 packing powder, aluminium oxynitride compounds were synthesised in SN26 crucible with AlN packing power. Also N2 gas pressure over 20kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ reduced the densification of Si3N4 in one step-gas pressure sintering. As the result of two step-gas pressure sintering at 700kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ for 15min., relative density of 99.9% and 3-point bending strength of 1090MPa and dense microstructure of 3~4${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ grain size were obtained.

In machining of ceramic materials, they are very difficult-to cut materials because of there high strength and hardness. Machining of ceramics are characterized by cracking and brittle fracture. Generally, ceramics are machined using conventional method such as finding and polishing. However these processes are generally costly and have low MRR(material removal rate). This paper focuses on determining the optimal levels of process parameters for products with CNC machining center. For this purpose, the optimization of cutting parameters is performed based on experimental design method. A design and analysis of experiments is conducted to study the effects of these parameters on the surface roughness by using the S/N ratio, analysis of ANOVA and F-test. Cutting parameters, namely, cutting speed, feed and depth of cut are optimized with consideration of the surface roughness.

Porous silicon nitride ceramics were prepared by SHS (Self-Propagating High Temperature Synthesis) from silicon powder, silicon nitride powder and pore-forming precursor. The microstructure, porosity and the flexural strength of the porous silicon nitride ceramics were varied according to the Si/Si3N4 ratio, size and amount of the pore-forming precursors. Some sample exhibited as high flexural strength as $162{\pm}24\;MPa$. The high strength is considered to result from the fine pore size and the strong bonding amoung the silicon nitride particles.

Due to their unique combination of properties, Si-based ceramics, such as silicon carbide (SiC), silicon nitride ($Si_3N_4$) and silicon oxide ($SiO_2$ as fused silica), have a range of industrial applications in fields such as the chemical industry, aluminum manufacturing, oil and gas production and solar cell production. For each materials group, examples of typical applications from various industry sectors are presented while taking into account the property fingerprint.

Ceramics are very difficult-to-cut materials because of its high strength and hardness. Their machining process can be characterized by cracking and brittle fracture. Generally, ceramics are machined using traditional method such as grinding and polishing. However, such processes are generally costly and have low material removal rate. In this paper, to develop machinable ceramics those have good machinability without losing their material properties, machinability evaluations are performed by applying the experimental design method. In this paper, to evaluate the machinability of the developed ceramics, various workpieces are machined on the CNC machining center, and surface roughness are measured under predefined process parameters obtained using Taguchi method. And the experimental results are investigated to derive optimum cutting parameters for the given materials.

The effect of an AlN additive on the thermoelectric properties of SiC ceramics was studied. Porous SiC ceramics with 48-54% relative density were fabricated by sintering the pressed ${\alpha}-SiC$ powder compacts with AlN at $2100-2200^{\circ}C$ for 3 h in an Ar atmosphere. In the undoped specimens, the Seebeck coefficients were positive (p-type semiconducting) possibly due to a dominant effect of the acceptor impurities (Al, Fe) contained in the starting powder. With AlN addition, the reverse phase transformation of 6H-SiC to 4H-SiC was observed during the sintering process. The electrical conductivity of the AlN doped specimen was larger than that of the undoped specimen under the same conditions, which might be due to a reverse phase trans-formation. The Seebeck coefficient of the AlN doped specimen was also larger than that of the undoped specimen. The density of specimen and the amount of addition had significant effects on the thermoelectric properties.

Silicon Nitride ($Si_3N_4$), which is widely used in a variety of applications, is hard-to-machine due to its high hardness. At high temperature (e.g. above $1000^{\circ}C$), however, the machinability can be greatly improved. In this work, we used a $CO_2$ laser with a high absorptivity to $Si_3N_4$ of 0.9 to preheat the surface of a rothting $Si_3N_4$ rod. Preheating and turning of $Si_3N_4$ was executed at the same time. The result of machining was MRR of $8.0mm^3/s$ that is four times faster than normal grinding. Continuous chip formation was observed by a microscope.

Silicon nitride powder synthesized from Kimcheon quartzite and commercial reagents, AlN and Y2O3 powders were used to prepare the partially and fully stabilized Y-${\alpha}$-Sialon ceramics by the pressureless sintering at 1800$^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours in N2 atmosphere. Good mechanical properties of the prepared Y-${\alpha}$-Sialon ceramics were found over 0.4∼0.6 of the Yttrium solubility range, X, in the equation Yx(Si12-4.5x, Al4.5x)(O1.5x, N16-1.5x). The properties of these prepared Y-${\alpha}$-Sialon ceramics were compared with those prepared in the same way from a commercial Toshiba Si3N4 powder.

Si3N4 ceramics could be densified above 3.2g/㎤ with pressureless sintering at below 178$0^{\circ}C$ by coating Si3N4 and Y2O3 powder with an alumina sol. Substitution a portion of Al2O3 with AlN improved densification. Additional milling of the coated powder in large improvement in bending strength greater than 800 MPa (4-point).
