Mica-glass ceramics has features such as micro-sized crystals, high strength, chemical resistance, semitransparent optical properties, etc. Due to its superior material properties, mica glass ceramics have increasing applications in dental and medical components, insulation boards, chemical devices, etc. In many applications, especially for dental and medical components, ultra-precise polishing is required. However, it is known to be a very difficult-to-grind material because of its high hardness and brittle properties. Thus, in this study, a newly developed ultra-precise polishing method is applied to obtain nano-level surface roughness of the mica glass ceramics using magnetorheological (MR) fluids and nano abrasives. Nano-sized ceria particles were used for the polishing of the mica glass ceramics. A series of experiments were performed under various polishing conditions, and the results were analyzed. A very fine surface roughness of Ra=6.127 nm could be obtained.

Alumina/mica and spinel/mica composites were fabricated by sintering of compacts containing 20 mass% fluoromica ($KMg_3AlSi_3O-{10}F_2$) glass and alumina or spinel. In both composites, mica precipitated as plate-like crystals at temperatures lower than $1300^{\circ}C$ and melted at $1300^{\circ}C$ to $1400^{\circ}C$. In alumina/mica composites, alumina and glass reacted to produce spinel, and the densification progressed by the solution-precipitation of alumina. Consequently, the glass composition changed and the mica did not precipitate at temperatures higher than $1400^{\circ}C$. However, mica precipitated after a reheating process. In spinel/mica composites, the glass composition did not change. After the mica phase melted, it recrystallized during slow cooling. The relative density reached the maximum at $1500^{\circ}C$ for alumina/mica and at $1300^{\circ}C$ spinel/mica composites, and decreased at further high temperatures.

Mica glass ceramics are known for their good electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties. These materials are produced by appropriate heat treatment of a suitable glass composition. In this paper electrical properties of mica glass ceramics with fluorcphlogopite crystalline phase have been investigated. At frequency range 1kHz-10MHz dielectric constants fall in the range fran 7.5 to 8.5 with law dissipation factors(0.002-0.008)at room temperature.

The batches having excess SiO2 to tetrasilicic mica KMg2.5 (Si4O10)F2 were melted at 1450℃. The fabricated samples were heat-treated for the nucleation and the crystallization. The crystallized samples were investigated on several properties. The tetrasilicic mica composition with excess 10 wt% SiO2 was successful both in glassifying and in crystallizing. The optimum temperatures for the nucleation and the crystallization were 680℃ and 1000-1100℃, respectively. The mica and the cristobalite crystallines were identified after heat-treatment. The properties of the samples processed appropriately were as follows, bulk density 2.64g/㎤, thermal expansion coefficient ∼80×10-7/℃, Vicker's hardness ∼105 Kgf/㎟, bending strength ∼666Kgf/㎟, dielectric constant ∼11.1, tan δ 2.5%, volume resistivity 2.35×107∼1.3×1011{{{{ OMEGA }}cm, surface roughness 6.984㎛.

The crystallization behaviour and the machinability of mica glass-ceramics with the content of F1 were studied. The material was made from the $K_2O-MgO-Al_2O_3-B_2O_3-SiO_2-F$ glasses by the heattreatment at 80$0^{\circ}C$-110$0^{\circ}C$ where the content of F-1 was changed in the range from 1, 3wt% to 6.1wt%. X-ray diffraction phase analysis and optical observation were adopted to study the crystallization behaviour. The machinability was measured by a manual sawing test and MOR. The crystal phases of these glass-ceramics identified by XRD were chondrodite fluoborite and norbergite at low temperature but fluorophlogopite at high temperature. The crystallization of glasses containing 1.3wt% -2.5wt% F-1 were predominately controlled by surface crystallization while the crystallization of glasses containing 3.8 wt% -6.1wt% F-1 were controlled by volume crystallization. Among the test the best machinability and strength value were obtained from those specimens contained fluoride 4.2wt% -4.4wt% and when the heattreatment was performed at 95$0^{\circ}C$-110$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours.

AlN-BN ceramics with BN contents in the range of 10 to 40 wt% were prepared by hot pressing using no additive, or 3 wt%, Y2O3 or CaO, which are common densification aids for AlN. And their machinability, bend strength, and microstructures were investigated. Both the main and radial cutting forces decreased with increasing BN content in all three kinds of samples. For the BN contents of 30 wt% or above, the cutting forces were lower than that of a mild steel tested at a same condition. Especially in the case of main forces, the values were less than a quarter of that of a mild steel, indicating excellent machinability. Bend strength (when the tensile surfaces of specimens were perpendicular to the hot pressing direction) also decreased with BN content mainly due to the much lower Young's modulus of BN compared to AlN. With the composition of 30 wt% BN at which the AlN-BN ceramics started to show better machinability than a mild steel, the bend strength was 150 to 160 MPa, which is greater than that of machinable glass-ceramics of a mica system. With tensile surfaces parallel to the hot pressing direction, however, the bend strength obtained for the samples processed with the sintering acids showed low values (about 40 MPa), since most BN particles had such orientation that their cleavage planes (i.e., basal planes) were perpendicular to the pressing direction.
