Dang-Chin feldspar powder with the mean particle size of 9.1 $\mu\textrm{m}$ was added to the synthesized mullite powder with the particle size of +325∼-200 mesh and the powder compact was prepared by PLPP(pressureless powder packing method). Densification behaviors were observed in sintering temperature range of 1200∼1400$^{\circ}C$. The binder solution of 4% PVA was infilterated into packed powder to the suitable strength. The PLPP method makes it possible to form compacts without clay as plasticizer. Therfore there was no defect caused by phase transition after sintering. Additionally, we observed the dense microstructure by the melting of feldspar. When the mullite compacts with feldspar of 30% were sintered at 1300$^{\circ}C$-4 hrs, we obtained the dense microstructure with zero water absorption and porosity <1%. When these compacts were sintered longer than 4 hrs at 1300$^{\circ}C$ or higher than 1400$^{\circ}C$, the examggerated grain growth of mullite was observed.

A spark plasma sintering technique has been used for the fabrication of $Al_2O_3$-SiC nanocomposites at the low temperature of $1100^{\circ}C$∼$1500^{\circ}C$. The sintered $Al_2O_3$-SiC composites shows very homogeneous microstructure without any particular abnormal grain growth, indicating that the addition of nano-sized SiC particles is very effective to control grain growth and to induce the residual stress in the $Al_2O_3$ matrix, resulting in the intragranular fracture. These SiC particles are present in the grain boundaries and also intragrain, depending on the sintering condition, and improve remarkably the mechanical properties of $Al_2O_3$-SiC composite through the mechanisms of strengthening and toughening induced by crack diffraction and crack bridging.

The evolution of sinterability, microstructure and mechanical properties for the spark plasma sintered(SPS) Ti from commercial pure titanium(CP-Ti) was studied. The densification of titanium with 200 mesh and 400 mesh pass powder was achieved by SPS at $750{\sim}1100^{\circ}C$ under 10 MPa pressure and the flowing $H_2$+Ar mixed gas atmosphere. The microstructure of Ti sintered up to $800^{\circ}C$ consisted of equiaxed grains. In contrast, the growth of large elongated grains was shown in sintered bodies at $900^{\circ}C$ with the 400 mesh pass powder and the lamella grains microstructure had been developed by increasing sintering temperature. The Vickers hardness of 240~270 HV and biaxial strength of 320~340 MPa were found for the specimen prepared at $950^{\circ}C$.

The prediction of mechanical properties for WC-Co alloys by evaluation of coercive force and magnetic saturation were studied in relation to their microstructure. The WC-8%Co alloys were prepared using different WC particle size, carbon content and various sintering temperature by PM process. The magnetic properties such as coercive force and magnetic saturation of sintered WC-Co alloys were critically dependent upon their final composition and microstructure. Slight changes of carbon contents and small variation of WC grain size result in marked changes of magnetic properties, hardness and transverse rupture strength of sintered WC-Co alloys. It was found that the coercive force and hardness were increased by fine WC grain size of sinterd alloys, and the coercive force was proportional to hardness. With decreasing total carbon content below the stoichiometric value in WC-8%Co alloys the volume fraction of $\eta$ phase increased steadily, while the magnetic saturation and transverse rupture strength decreased. The magnetic saturation was inversely proportional to the coercive force of WC-Co alloys.

NiCuZn Ferrites, known as preventing EMI/EMC, were prepared and their properties were investigated based on the chemical composition ratio, sintering temperature, and mean particle size. The NiCuZn ferrite made of $Fe_2O_3$ 49.0 mol%, NiO 9.0 mol%, CuO 8.0 mol%, ZnO 34.0 mol% could be applied at the largest range of electromagnetic wave. The optimal calcination and sintering temperature were $900^{\circ}C$ and $1080^{\circ}C$, respectively. The electromagnetic wave loss capacity of its mean particle size $1.12{\mu}m$ was superior to others examined.

Conventional ball-milling technique was used to synthesize NASICON powders. The NASICON powders were made from three kinds of component powders : coarse($ZrO_{2}$, $Na_{3}PO_{4}$, $SiO_{2}$), fine ($ZrO_{2}$, $Na_{3}PO_{4}$, $SiO_{2}$) and fine ($ZrSiO_{4}$, $Na_{3}PO_{4}$) powders. The fine component powders were easily reacted to form the desired product at $1100^{\circ}C$ or higher, whereas incomplete reaction due to the coarse component powders occurred even at $1170^{\circ}C$. The finer the grain size of the starting powders was, the higher the bulk density of NASICON electrolyte after sintering was observed. Almost single phase NASICON electrolytes with more than 95% of the theoretical density, $3.27g/cm^{3}$, could be fabricated by sintering for $40{\sim}60$ hours at temperatures between 1150 and $1170^{\circ}C$.

$La_{0.6}Sr_{0.4}Co_{0.2}Fe_{0.8}O_{3-{\delta}}$ membranes were fabricated by solid-state reaction. We investigated sintering behavior and oxygen permeation flux as a function of time-on-stream, temperature and upstream oxygen partial pressure. The oxygen was permeated at temperatures form 750$^{\circ}$C to 950$^{\circ}$C by mixed conducting through oxygen vacancy diffusion in the dense membrane. The oxygen permeation flux through the membrane were about 0.1ml/$cm^3{\cdot}$min at 850$^{\circ}$C. A constant time was required for reaching stable oxygen flux, and oxygen partial pressure affected the oxygen permeation fluxes.

Minor phases in cast and hot-pressed R(R=Pr, Nd)-Fe-B magnet were investigated through thermomagnetic analysis. The relationship between minor phases and coercivities of R-Fe-B magnets was studied. ${\alpha}-Fe$ and $Nd_{2}Fe_{17}$ were precipitated in as-cast Pr-Fe-B and Nd-Fe-B alloys respectively. These phases were considered to deteriorate the magnetic properties of R-Fe-B magnets. During the heat treatment, ${\alpha}-Fe$ and $Nd_{2}Fe_{17}$ were annihilated and the magnetic properties of cast R-Fe-B magnet were improved. Hot-pressed Nd-Fe-B magnet showed better thermal stability than sintered magnet.

We have studied on the magnetic properties of the specimen with additives Bi$_2$O$_3$and$V_2O_5$ that sintered at 900 $^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours for sybthesizing optimal Ni-Zn-Cu ferrite. Curie temperature rises from 240 $^{\circ}C$ to 270 $^{\circ}C$ as Ni contents increase. Magentic maximum induction$(B_m)$ increases from 2650 G to 3300 G, 3500 G in the specimens with $V_2O_5$ and Bi$_2$O$_3$resectively. On the contrary coercive force $(H_c)$ lowers to 2.05 Oe~1.05 Oe. Permeability all increase in the specimen with additives. In the specimen with additive Bi$_2$O$_3$, we have obtained the low relative loss factor of $6.3{\times}10^{-5}~7.84{\times}10^{-5}$ in the range of 1MHz due to increase of resistivity in grain boundary. In the specimen with additive $V_2O_5$ in spite of increase permeability relative loss factor increase of due to decrease of Q-value.
