Toughened glass is known to have about four times larger external impact resistance than that of original glass. This study is aimed to verify that ceramic-printed toughened glass does not meet of GTR(Global Technical Regulations) No. 6 and its strength is lower than that of original glass through tests. The tests were conducted on the test pieces of original glass, toughened glass, and ceramic-printed toughened glass from five glass manufacturers. In Test 1, a 227g steel ball was dropped from a height of 2 meters, and damage was checked according to the test method of GTR No. 6. In Test 2, a steel ball was freely dropped from different heights and limited damage height was determined. In the result of Test 1 according to the test method of GTR No. 6, while all five test pieces of toughened glasses were not damaged, all the ceramic-printed toughened glass from the five manufacturers were damaged. In the result of Test 2, none of the five test pieces of toughened glass were damaged by a 10m ball drop, meanwhile, the original glasses were damaged by an average of 3m ball drop. And the results of the tests show that the ceramic-printed toughened glass does not have the features of toughened glass due to its very low strength. Therefore, this study contributes to the safety of consumers by considering the GTR No. 6, and by revising the toughened glass test method.

Al2O3/SiC nanocomposites are fabricated through intensive ball milling to mix fine SiC particles uniformly with the Al2O3 powder. Another role of milling is to reduce particle sizes by crushing particles as well as agglomerates. However, balls are worn during ball milling and the sample powder mixtures pick up to weight loss of the balls. In this study, pressureless sintering was performed to obtain Al2O3/SiC nanocomposites. It was found that the wear rate of zirconia balls during milling was considerable, and the zirconia addition after even a few hours of ball milling could increase the sintering rates of the nanocomposites significantly. Thus, addition of ZrO2 changed the sintering behaviors as well as mechanical properties of Al2O3/SiC nanocomposites.

Biaxial flexure strength (ball-on-3-ball) and fracture toughness (indentation microfracture) of heat-pressable glass-ceramics for dental use were investigated in this study. Crystal phase and microstructure of glass-ceramics were analyzed by XRD. SEM, and TEM. Crack propagation in specimens was not effectively arrested by dispersed crystalline particles. However, higher degree of crystallization probably contributes to strengthening of glass-ceramics. Better clinical reliability can be expected from lithium disilicate glass-ceramic because of its significantly higher biaxial flexure strength and fracture toughness.

An experimental study has been conducted for the design of the regenerative oxy-fuel combustion system with ceramic ball. Various design parameters are considered such as ball size, regenerator weight, and combustion load. Regenerative system with a pair of oxygen burners and regenerators is set up and the temperature of oxygen and exhaust gas passing through ball regenerator is measured. It is shown that the temperature distributions with time are affected by ball diameter and regenerator weight, and the significant temperature change is observed by combustion load. As the ball size decreases and the regenerator weight increases, the regenerating temperature efficiency increases. It is found that the heat recovery ratio is low despites of high regeneration temperature efficiency.

Recently a new process known as the magnetic fluid grinding has been developed, which can remove material from the surface of ceramic balls by fifty to one hundred times more rapidly than the conventional lapping process. In this study, the ceramic balls with various compositions are made and ground by using the magnetic fluid grinding technique with various machining parameters. In order to make well-round shaped balls by using the magnetic fluid grinding technique, the fundamental research to find out the machining factors has been carried out. Developing an equipment with higher efficiency and reliability in the machining could certainly lead to the higher productivity with excellent quality of ceramic balls.

This paper shows the temperature characteristics of a high speed angular contact ball gearing which is 7004C type with ISO P2 tolerance class. A built-in motor type high speed spindle which adopts an oil-air lubrication system was used to measure the temperature rise up to 60,000rpm. The gearing temperature was measured using thermocouples that were attached to the outside surfaces of the outer rings. The result showed that the continuous test method which was suggested in this paper is more effective than on and off method and the lubrication oil supply rate should be reduced in high speed rolling bearings as long as the seizure does not occur. And the result were confirmed that the bearings packed with ceramic balls are superior to those with steel balls in temperature characteristics.

The production process of a fine size fraction of Korean kaolin by ball milling is studied in this paper by analyzing the size distribution the size distribution of products with the Rosin-rammle formular and the rate process of cumulative size fractions with Alyavdin-Chujyo's formular. The size distribution is found to be divided in three regions a coarser part influenced by feed size an intermediate part where the size distribution shows a clear straight line relationship on Rosin-Rammler chart and the finest part with the ultimate limit of fineness by ball milling. Alyavdin-Chujyo's relationship is found to be valid over a very wide range of milling conditions. For different feed sizes the Alyavdin-Chujyo's relationship gives a group of straight lines with a common intersection point which can be defined as the limiting point of the persistent component region.

The validity of Alyavdin-Chujyo's Equation was re-examined over the broader milling conditions that those previously examined. Ordinary ball mill grinding with a laboratory scale batch mill (133mmø×144mm length) were selected as the grinding methods. The results show that in ball milling the Alyavdin-Chunjyo's Equation can be applicable over wide grinding time and size range with few exceptions. The validity of which are examined and discussed. The theoretical consideration of the relation between Alyavdin-Chujyo's Equation and size distributiion equation, such as Rosin-Rammler's law, was tried, and it is found that, under the condition of alyardin-Chujyo's relation, the Rosin-Rammler size distribution law can hold.

the microstructure and mechanical properties of seeded and ball-milled dry gels prepared by boehmite sol-gel method were discussed. The densification of seeded gels was improved with increasing seed content namely the number of seed The number of seed was 1.09, 3.35, 5.72${\times}$1012/cm3 boehmite when seeded with 1, 3, 5wt% respectively The ball milled gel contained about 0.5wt% seed and the number of seed was 4.72${\times}$1012/cm3 boehmite. The sintered density of 5wt% seeded gel was below 80% when sintered at 1300$^{\circ}C$ for 1h. On the other hand that of ball milled gel was very improved and reached to 97% In the case of 3wt% seeded gels the density over 97% was attained when sintered at 1500$^{\circ}C$for 1h. and the grain of the sintered body was several micrometers in size. However the sintered body of ball milled gel showed grain size of submicrometer when sintered at 1300$^{\circ}C$ for 1h. And this specimen showed highest harness value of 1900kg/mm2 The fracture toughness increased with increasing sintering temperature. The sintered body of ball milled gel showed the largest grain size and the highest fracture toughness without regard to sint-ering temperature.
