Generally, end effectors for automatic robots can use ceramics such as alumina(Al₂O₃) and silicon carbide(SiC). In this study, black alumina was developed and used in the semiconductor field through powder molding press forming. The black alumina can be mass produced.Alumina and black alumina were ground using a plane grinder to apply to the end effector of an automatic robot. The optimal cutting conditionswere found by analyzing the surface roughness(Ra) of black alumina through grinding. The alumina surface roughness is the feed rate was about 0.72 mm/sec, and the number of revolutions was best at 0.4879 ㎛ at 1700 rpm. In addition, the black alumina surface roughness shows a precision of less than 0.2 ㎛ in most cutting conditions. The feed rate was about 0.72 mm/sec, and the number of revolutions was best at 0.1361 ㎛ at 1900 rpm. The surface roughness of black alumina was better than that of alumina by about 0.35 to 0.47 ㎛.

세라믹 분리막은 기존의 유기질막에 비하여 고온 분리공정이 가능하고, 기계적 강도가 크며, 화학 물질에 대해서도 안정하므로 유기질막이 사용 되어질 수 없는 공정 조건에서도 사용이 가능하다. 그러나 기존의 제조법으로 제조한 세라믹 분리막은 복합 분리막의 경우, 코팅시 분리막층에 미세균열이 쉽게 발생하고 막의 재현성이 좋지 않기 때문에 새로운 분리막 제조 공정의 개발 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 본 실험은 이러한 목적하에 반도체 공업에서 주로 사용되어지고 있는 화학기상증착법을 이용하여 세라믹 복합 분리막을 제조하였다.

세라믹 분림가은 세라믹 고유의 열적, 기계적 특성으로 인해 유기질막이 사용되어질 수 없는 작업환경에서도 사용가능하다는 장점이 있다. 기존의 세라믹 분리막 제조방법으로는 졸겔법등이 있는데, 최근들어 새롭게 주목받고 있는 것이 화학기상중착법 (chemical vapor deposition)에 의한 제조이다. CVD 법은 막의 두께를 비교적 정확하게 조절할 수 있고, 균일한 두께의 막을 제조할 수 있다는 장점이 있다.

The purpose of this study was to estimate the fracture resistance of commercially available ceramic brackets to torsional force exerted from arch wires and to evaluate the characteristics of bracket fracture. Methods: Lingual root torque was applied to maxillary central incisor brackets with 0.022-inch slots by means of a $022\;{\times}\;028-inch$ stainless steel arch wire. A custom designed apparatus that attached to an Instron was used to test seven types of ceramic brackets (n = 15). The torque value and torque angle at fracture were measured. In order to evaluate the characteristics of failure, fracture sites and the failure patterns of brackets were examined with a Scanning Electron Microscope. Results: Crystal structure and manufacturing process of ceramic brackets had a significant effect on fracture resistance. Monocrystalline alumina (Inspire) brackets showed significantly greater resistance to torsional force than polycrystalline alumina brackets except InVu. There was no significant difference in fracture resistance during arch wire torsional force between ceramic brackets with metal slots and those without metal slots (p > 0.05). All Clarity brackets partially fractured only at the incisal slot base and the others broke at various locations. Conclusion: The fracture resistance of all the ceramic brackets during arch wire torsion appears to be adequate for clinical use.

In the previous paper, it was reported that formation of desirable calcium alunimate(CA) in clinker was considerably affected by sulfur-contaminated alumina which was prone to form a disadvantageous mineral, $C_4A_3S$. In this study, however, sulphate-free alumina cement was made from sulfur-free alumina refined from alunite and corresponding materials. The major minerals in the clinker were identified by X-ray diffraction patterns as calcium aluminate (CA), calcium dialuminate $(CA_2)$ and dicalcium alumino silicate $(C_2AS)$. The formation of CA was more effective with decreasing contents of silica to 2 per cent or less and sulfur in the refined alumina. Physical properties of prepared alumina cement such as setting time, stability and compressive strength were measured. The values were similar to those of commercial alumina cements.

The flexural strength distribution of alumina ceramics was observed using ball-on-3 ball test after thermal shock into the distilled water of 25$^{\circ}C$ Crack distribution was also observed by dye-penetration after thermal shock test. Fracture probability of alumina ceramics by ball-on-3 ball test was studied and compared with that by 3-point bending test. The crack distance from the center of thespecimen showed the stronger effect on the flexural strength by ball-on-3 ball test than the crack density.

Effect of particle size of alumina and amount of talc on tape casting and densification behaviors of alumina-talc system were investigated. The pseudoplastic behaviors of slurries increased with increase in amount of talc addition and decrease in alumina particle size. In case of using coarse alumina powder, densification of specimens were accelerated with increase of sintering temperature and amount of talc addition. On the contrary, fine alumina powder retarded of rearrangement of alumina particle during liquid phase sintering due to premature densification of alumina matrix region before formation of liquid phase and then densification of specimens were suppressed with increase of sintering temperature and amount of talc addition.

Porous alumina ceramics were fabricated by pseudo-boehmite phydosol-gel process within/without commercial $\alpha$-alumina particles average 1 and 40 micron respectively. The pore characteristics of fired specimens were studied by the measurement of bulk density total porosity thyermal analysis pore volume pore distribution BET area XRD and SEM. with increasing of firing temperature pore volume and BET surface area were decreased and the average pore size was increased to approximately 146$\AA$ upto 80$0^{\circ}C$ by de-watering of [OH] and formation of $\alpha$-alumina. The fired relative density of the alumina-dispersed specimen with average 1 micron particle was increased with the amounts of dispersed particle by bimodal packing theory which is compared to the ones of specimen including of average 40 micron particle. It was confirmed that the percola-tion threshold in porous ceramics with coarser particle (40 micron) has formed between the transformed-alumina from hydrogel and dispersed-alumina of above 50 vol% particle and the total porosity was increased at the threshold point above.

In this study, presintered and full sintered low purity alumina ceramics were machined with various tools to clarify the effect of cutting fluid in machinability. The main conclusions obtained were as follows. When the presintered ceramics were wet machined with sintered diamond tool, the tool wear becomes extremely large, and higher cutting speed can be used than in the case of full sintered ceramics. The productivity of wet cutting with the sintered diamond tool is much higher than that of dry cutting. In the case of the CBN and ceramic tools, the tool wear were smaller at wet cutting than at dry cutting, especially exhibiting considerably larger grooved tool wear in wet cutting with ceramic tool.

Tape cast laminar composites with alumina/zircon(reaction-bonded mullite/zirconia) as an inner layer and alumina/zirconia or mullite/zirconia as an outer layer have been fabricated by hot-pressing. The mechanical properties(hardness and Young's modulus) and microstructure of laminar composites were examined using a nanoindentation technique and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), respectively. The indentation load-displacement curve revealed the existence of residual stress in laminar composites.
