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 this study, we report a method to synthesize the aluminum nitride (AlN) powders from aluminum oxyhydroxide (AlOOH). AlOOH powders were prepared from the aluminum hydroxide ($Al(OH)_3$) by heattreatment at the reaction temperature of $350^{\circ}C$. Simple heat treatment of AlOOH in the flow of $NH_3$ gas leads to the formation of hexagonal AlN powders through intermediate conversion of ${\delta}-,\;{\gamma}-$ and ${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$. The FTIR transmission spectra show a broad peak related to Al-N bonds centered around 690 $cm^{-1}$ confirming the presence of AlN. The major peaks in Raman spectra were observed in 250 $cm^{-1}$ and 659 $cm^{-1}$. From the results, synthesized powders from the AlOOH powders were confirmed AlN powders.

Calorizing 처리에서 코팅분말의 입자크기 및 코팅온도가 금속표면에 형성된 코팅층의 두께에 미치는 영향을 XRD, SEM, 및 EDXS를 사용하여 고찰하였다. 코팅분말은 입자크기별로 3단계로 분리하였으며 코팅온도는 $950^{\circ}C$와 $980^{\circ}C$로 변화하였다. Calorizing 처리는 공기 및 아르곤 분위기에서 5시간 동안 행하였다. XRD 결과 공기분위기의 calorizing 처리과정에서 금속산화물($Al_2O_3$)과 질화물(AlN)이 형성됨을 관찰하였다. 공기 및 아르곤 분위기의 calorizing 처리 결과 코팅분말의 입자크기가 감소하고 코팅온도가 증가할수록 코팅층의 두께와 코팅층에서의 알루미늄의 함량이 증가함을 알 수 있었다.

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).

Ti alloys are extensively used in high-technology application because of their strength, oxidation resistance at high temperature. However, Ti alloys tend to be classified very difficult to cut material. In this paper, The powder synthesis, spark plasma sintering (SPS), bulk material properties such as electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity are systematically examined on $Ti_2AlN$ and $Ti_2AlC$ materials having most light-weight and oxidation resistance among the MAX phases. The bulk samples mainly consisted of $Ti_2AlN$ and $Ti_2AlC$ materials with density close to theoretical value were synthesized by a SPS method. Machining characteristics such as machining time, surface quality are analyzed with measurement of voltage and current waveform according to machining condition of micro-electrical discharge machining with micro-channel shape.

Li reacts with $N_2$ at room temperature. In order to activate Li, the mechanical milling of Li with stable metal oxide, namely, $Al_2O_3$ and MgO, using a high energy vibrating ball mill was performed. In the case of Li-MgO system, it reacts with $N_2$, but hardly reacts with $O_2$. The reaction with $N_2$ generally produces $Li_3N$, while for some vigorous reactions the $Mg_3N_2$ is produced as the major phases. In the case of $Li-Al_2O_3$ system, reactivities with both $N_2$ and $O_2$ are high. The difference is explained in terms of the reaction mechanism and the Li state.

The nature and composition of the surfaces of silicon nitride and β-Sialon powders were investigated using high voltage and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). β-Sialon powder was produced from Hadong kaolin by the carbothermic reduction and simultaneous nitridation. XPS showed that Al was contained in the surface of β-Sialon powder besides Si, N and O components, which is different from that of silicon nitride. It was supposed that Al in the surface of β-Sialon was bonded with oxygen from the oxygen-nitrogen ratio and the measurement of Al 2p binding energies. After both silicon nitride and β-Sialon powders were oxidized at 800℃ for 24h in air, nitrogen didn't exist in the surfaces and the depth of the oxide layer increased. The measurement of Si 2p binding energies showed that the chemical shifts occurred from Si3N2O and/or Si2N2O to SiO2 phase.

The preparatin of the fine TiN powders by reduction-nitridation of TiCl3-Al-N2 system was attempted in the temperature range from 350$^{\circ}$to 100$0^{\circ}C$. The formation mechanism and kinetics of TiN were examined, and the resultant TiN powder was characterized by means of XRD, PSA and SEM-EPMA methods. TiN was formed at temperatrue higher than $600^{\circ}C$. As an intermediate phase, AlTi was obtained. The apparent activation energy for the formation of TiN was approximately 4.2kcal/mole(600$^{\circ}$~90$0^{\circ}C$). The crystallite size and lattice constnat of TiN powder obtained in the temperature range from 600$^{\circ}$to 100$0^{\circ}C$ for 2h at the Al/TiCl3 molar ratio of 1.0 were 160~255A and 4.231~4.239A, respectively. According to PSA measurement, the mean particle size ranged from 14.0 to 14.8${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$.

In this study, gradient porous Al-Cu sintered body was fabricated by powder metallurgy processing. Al-Cu powder mixtures were prepared by low energy ball milling with various milling time. After ball milling for 3h, the shape of powder mixtures changed to spherical type with size of 100~500 ${\mu}m$. Subsequently, Al-Cu powder mixtures were classified (under 150, 150~300 and over 300 ${\mu}m$) and compacted (20, 50 and 100 MPa). Then, they were sintered at $600^{\circ}C$ for various holding time (10, 30, 60 and 120 min) in $N_2$ atmosphere. The sintered bodies had 32~45% of porosity. As a result, the optimum holding time was determined to be 60 min at $600^{\circ}C$ and sintered bodies with various porosity were obtained by controlling the compacting pressure.

SiAlON-based ceramics are some of the most typical oxynitride ceramic materials, which can be used as cutting tools for heat-resistant super-alloys (HRSA). SiAlON can be fabricated by using gas-pressure reactive sintering from the raw materials, nitrides and oxides such as $Si_3N_4$, AlN, $Al_2O_3$, and $Yb_2O_3$. In this study, we fabricate $Yb_{m/3}Si_{12-(m+n)}Al_{m+n}O_nN_{16-n}$ (m=0.3, n=1.9, 2.3, 2.7) ceramics by using gas-pressure sintering at different sintering temperatures. Then, the densification behavior, phase formation, microstructure, and hardness of the sintered specimens are characterized. We obtain a fully densified specimen with ${\beta}$-SiAlON after gas-pressure sintering at $1820^{\circ}C$ for 90 min. under 10 atm $N_2$ pressure. These SiAlON ceramic materials exhibited hardness values of ~92.9 HRA. The potential of these SiAlON ceramics for cutting tool application is also discussed.
