It is well known that the degradation of transformer oil conseqently lead to the failure of transformer. This paper discussed the characteristics of the degradation sensor checking transformer oil condition in live line. The degadation sensor is composed of base ring, electrodes and porous ceramic, passed through the transformer oil and checks the transformer oil condition through sensor's leakage current. So it is important to minimize the leakage current of base ring and connection parts. To investigate the leakage current of base ring and connection parts the characteristics of V-T-I and DC 2 KV and other examinations were performed. It is verified that ionized transformer oil caused by the expansion of temperature increases in the leakage current of porous ceramic sensor. It is certification that the leakage current of other parts of porous ceramic is very small(about 2%) compared with the porous ceramic body and it is confirmed that the leakage current in porous ceramic is changed sensitively according to the new oil(NO) and and the degradation oil(DO).

This research examined the effect, which it follows in particle size distribution change of CaHPO$_4$ㆍ2$H_{2}O$ (DCPD). We used two kinds of compositions; tetracalcium phosphate (TTCP)/dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD) composition and $\alpha$-tricalcium phosphate ($\alpha$-TCP)TTCP/DCPD composition. As the result, the mean particle size of the DCPD decreased, the setting tine shortened at all compositions. The reference powder (DR), which did not milling, showed about 2 times strength value compared with other milling sample. Especially, the compressive strength of 60 : 20 : 20 sample (DR(do$_{0.5}$)=12.08 $\mu\textrm{m}$) after curing 7 days in simulated body fluid solution was 40$\pm$0.5 MPa, which was the highest. This resulted from the packing density at $\alpha$-TCP/TTCP/DCPD combination.

Bioactive glass (BG) finds limited use as a bone replacement material owing to its low mechanical properties. In order to solve this problem, the micro-sized 13-93 BG was prepared as a fabric composite with SiC microfibers, and its mechanical properties and biocompatibility were investigated in this study. The tensile strengths of BG-SiC fiber-bundle composites increased in proportion to the number of SiC fibers. In particular, even when only one SiC fiber was substituted, the tensile strength increased by 81% to 1428 MPa. In the early stage of the in-vitro test, a silica-rich layer was formed on the surface of the 13-93 BG fibers. With time, calcium phosphate grew on the silica-rich layer and the BG fibers were delaminated. On the other hand, no products were observed on the SiC fibers for 7 days, therefore, SiC fibers are expected to maintain their strength even after transplantation in the body.

The compaction and sintering behavior of zirconium titanate $(ZrTiO_4)$ was investigated by means of the measurement of sintering density and shrinkage, and the observation of microstructure. With increasing the content of $Al_2O_3$ additive, $Al_2O_3$-modified zirconium titanate samples fired at $1300^{\circ}C$ showed the anisotropic shrinkage behavior that the upper region of sintered body has higher sintering shrinkage than the low region. This difference of sintering shrinkage decreased with increasing firing temperature from 1300 to $1400^{\circ}C$. The SEM micrographs of powder compation show that the anisotropic shrinkage behavior is related with non-uniform density in a uniaxial compaction.

According to the composition of LTCC material, though it was thought that bulk defect which was made in forming process effects on the densification during the sintering, it was not reported systemically. In this study, we evaluated crystal structure, 3 point bending strength, hardness and microstructure of the samples by uniaxial pressing and tape casting using the commercial powders of the crystallizing glass and the glass/ceramic composite. In the case of glass/ceramic composite, Viox-001 powder with residual glass in the sintering, 3 point bending strength was similar regardless of forming process due to fill the bulk defect by residual glass. In the case of crystallizing glass, MLS-22, because glass phase was small in the sintering, glass did not fill the pore in the sample by uniaxial pressing process, therefore, the 3 point bending strength of it was 167 MPa. However, the 3 point bending strength of the sample by tape casting was 352 MPa and much higher. Meanwhile, crystal structure and hardness were similar regardless of forming process.

The piezoelectric ceramics for AE sensor piezoelectric devices are desirable to possess higher resonance vibrations. The compositions of $0.9Pb(Zr_xTi_{1-x})O_3-0.1Pb(Mn_{1/3}Nb_{1/3}Sb_{1/3})O_3$ (PZT-PMNS) in this work are selected for obtaining especially large electromechanical coupling factor, high mechanical quality factor and high Curie temperature. This ceramic has higher piezoelectric activity and higher electromechanical coupling factor, but the ceramic has lower Curie temperature. The piezoelectric and dielectric characteristics of PZT-PMNS ternary system are investigated as functions of $Ti^{2+}$, $Zi^{2+}$ mol rate. As the results, MPB(morphotropic phase boundary) in this piezoelectric ceramic is x=0.522. Resonance vibrations of PZT ceramics are investigated as ball-bearing drop test. For the use of AE sensor that driving with pre-amplifier, filter circuit after packed this ceramic and an elastic body.

In this study, we have made a cement based inorganic insulation material and added CSA (Hauyne Clinker) to reduce the demolding time and enhance the handling workability. CSA contents were varied by 0%, 1%, 3%, 5% and the atmospheric steam curing was tried for enhancing the compressive strength. As the CSA contents are increased to 5%, a rapid reaction of hydration caused the sinking of the slurry. So, the setting-retarder was added to control the reaction of hydration. By this, the sinking of the slurry was controlled but the height of the green body after expansions was a little bit lowered. In the CSA-added slurry, it was possible to demold within 24 hours and in case of CSA 5%-added, the sufficient workability was secured. Atmospheric steam curing (temperatures $-40{\sim}80^{\circ}C$, for 6~10 hrs.) was attempted to improve the compressive strength and found that an excellent strength of 0.25 MPa was achieved at $80^{\circ}C$ for 8 hrs. Specific gravity was about $0.12{\sim}0.13g/cm^3$ and heat conductivity was about 0.045 W/mK in all specimens. This strategy significantly improves the compressive strength of CSA 5%-added specimen up to 25% compared to without CSA added specimen.

In this study, the utilization possibility of coal-preparation refuse emitted from Hwasun coal mine in Korea as a raw material for ceramic body was investigated. The firing shrinkage ratio of ceramic specimen made from the coal-preparation refuse was reduced with increasing the addition amounts of that, while the compressive strength was slightly decreased. The weight of ceramic body was also reduced because carbon contained in the coal-preparation refuse was burn by fring. The water adsorption ratio of the ceramic specimen was under 10 wt%, and the compressive strength of that was over 21 MPa at over $1,150^{\circ}C$ for 2 hr. Therefore, it was possible to make the 1st garde clay brick of KS L 4201 from the coal-preparation refuse.

People could not imagine living without tab water. However, the water filtering process at a purification plant used to produce tab water creates tons of sludge, which is generally wasted. This sludge waste consists of (1) mineral elements, such as sand, (2) organic materials, and (3) a coagulant, which agglomerates the two. As an enormous amount of sludge waste is generated every year, numerous studies have been carried out to identify how to deal with this problem. Currently, however, most of the sludge waste is directly discarded in landfills. In the present study, water-purified sludge waste received a heat treatment at $1300^{\circ}C$ and was then ground into particles to be used as a ceramic material. Next, the resultant particles were compounded with chamotte substitutes to produce grogged clay that is suitable for wheel-throwing ceramics. Consequently, the plasticity of the sludge waste decreased as the content of calcination increased. Thus, it is considered that wheel throwing is available only up to PBF-3. Thus, it is available for wheel throwing and has a high strength of 864 $kgf/cm^2$ with less than 0.2 percent of porosity and absorption ratio were displayed in PBF-2 at $1280^{\circ}C$ with 20 percent of calcination from the purified sludge. Therefore, the PBF-2 body produced in this study was considered to be capable of replacing grogged clay in the market.

A new concept of an inorganic foaming process at low temperature was demonstrated for the production of inorganic thermal insulating materials with the properties of flexible light-weight, the advantages of organic-based thermal insulation material. The foaming process was proceeded by establishing a skeleton of the foam body by using inorganic fibrous sepiolite and aluminum silicate. A cavity was formed by the expansion of fibrous skeleton body, by the gas which was generated from foaming agent at low temperature. Then the multi-vesicular expanded perlite with low thermal conductivity was filled into the cavity in a skeleton of the foam body. Finally through these overall process, a new inorganic foamed body could be obtained at low temperature without the hot melting of inorganic materials. In order to achieve this object, various preparations such as fibrous sepiolite fibrillation process, heat treatment process of the fibrous slurry were needed, and the optimal compositional condition of slurry was required. The foam body produced showed the properties of flexible light-weight thermal insulation materials such as bulk density, yield strength, flexural strength, and high heat resistance.
