For precise property control of sintered products, it is important to understand accurately the packing density of the powder. We developed a packing simulation program that could make a packed bed of spherical particles having particle size distribution. In addition, the influence of the particle shape of the actual powder on the packing density was quantitatively analyzed. The predicted packing densities corresponded well to the actual data.

To overcome the demerit of conventional forming method, new forming method, pressureless powder packing forming method, was investigated. This technique is performed by powder packing followed by the infiltration of binder solution. Various alumina powders were used as starting materials and the powders showing good packing condition through powder packing experiment were chosen. The green densities prepared by this new forming method with these powders were lower than those of specimens by pressing method, but, nearly same density was obtained in case of green body prepared with the powders having high packing density. The distribution of binder in a green body was homogeneous and it was possible to a complex shape form by this forming method.

Alumina powder is one of the widely used materials for industry, but there is a problem that the strength of the product changes depending on the powder packing state. To solve the above problem, previous studies have been conducted to increase the particle packing efficiency, but most of the existing studies analyzed the packing characteristics of millimeter-scale particles, so the physical properties are different from those of the micrometer scale. It is difficult to apply to the micrometer scale. In this paper, a three-step experiment was performed using a statistical method to increase packing using micrometer-scale alumina powder. First, a size combination with high packing and a mixing ratio were selected using the mixture test design method, and an appropriate excitation frequency was selected by analyzing the height change according to the frequency change in the vibration test apparatus. Finally, an alumina powder packing experiment was performed based on the experimental results mentioned above. As a result, it was confirmed that the maximum height variation was 42% higher than the maximum value of the 155 measurements performed when selecting the packing size combination. It is thought that this study will serve as basic data for processing and packing research using fine powder.

In order to investigate the ball-milling effect on the property changes of UO$_2$ ex-AUC powder, the sinterability of ball -milled powder was studied in terms of the ball -milling time. Spherical shape was found to be kept for ball-milled UO$_2$ powder and the particle size showed a bimodal distribution, which seems to have a higher packing ratio compared with those having monomodal gaussian distribution. The increase of sintered density of the ball -milled UO$_2$ powder is assumed to be mainly affected by the packing ratio, which increase with longer ball -milling time. It is confirmed that the sinterability of UO$_2$ ex-AUC powder is improved by the ball-milling process.

The new forming method, Pressureless Powder Packing Forming Method was applied to the manufacturing of reaction sintered SiC. After the experiments of vibratory powder packing and binder infiltration, the abrasive SiC powder of which mean size is 45${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ was selected to this forming method. Uniform green bodies with porosity of 45% and narrow pore size distribution could be formed by this new forming method. Also, complex or varied cross-sectional shapes could be easily manufactured through the silicone rubber mould used in this forming method. Maximum 15 wt% amorphous carbon was penetrated into green body by multi impregnation-carbonization cycles. And reaction-bonded SiC was manufactured by infiltration of SiC-carbon shaped bodies with liquid silicon.

The influences of the powder packing density on the Bi-2223/Ag tape have been investigated. For packing powder, both method of uniaxial press and packed rod form made by cold isostatic press(CIP) have been applied. As the pressure of cold isostatic press(CIP) is increased, fill factor and critical current (Ic) of Bi-2223/Ag tape is increased. At a pressure of 2000kgf/cm$^2$, fill factor reach ∼3l% and this sample has the engineering current density(Je) value of ∼8.5kA/cm$^2$(Ic ∼77A, Jc ∼ 30kA/cm$^2$). The tape sample packed by uniaxial press method shows more sawsaging effect than the sample processed by cold isostatic press(CIP), resulting from inhomogity of powder distribution produced by the process of uniaxial press.

The different sized slag powder, which have been used widely as a cement binder, was obtained by using 3 kind of mills. Two kinds of slag powder with different size was mixed and then investigated the relationship between the rheological properties and the particle packing ratio or particle distribution. It was found that the rheological properties of two mixed slag powder was proportional to the particle packing ratio of it. And the paste flowability of the mixed slag powder with wide particle distribution was very good.

The green body was fabricated by a new forming method, pressureless powder packaing forming method, and the characteristics of sintered specimen were investigated. It was found that alumina ceramics prepared by the present method showed porous structure with narrow pore size distribution, and in case of abrasive powder sintered body, compared with dry-pressed specimen, had the nearly same density. Especially, the specimen prepared with spray-dried granules showed the characteristic that granules were not either deformed or fractured during forming and sintering process. Therefore, it was found that this new forming method was effective method in fabrication of porous ceramics on account of easy control of porosity and pore size and its high thermal stability.

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.

A molding-type power inductor is an inductor that uses a hybrid material that is prepared by mixing a ferrite metal powder coated with an insulating layer and an epoxy resin, which is injected into a coil-embedded mold and heated and cured. The fabrication of molding-type inductors requires various techniques such as for coil formation and insertion, improving the magnetic properties of soft magnetic metal powder, coating an insulating film on the magnetic powder surface, and increasing the packing density by well dispersing the powder in the epoxy resin. Among these aspects, researches on additives that can disperse the metal soft magnetic powder having the greatest performance in the epoxy resin with high charge have not been reported yet. In this study, we investigated the effect of silanes, KBM-303 and KBM-403, and a commercial dispersant on the dispersion of metal soft magnetic powders in epoxy resin. The sedimentation height and viscosity were measured, and it was confirmed that the silane KBM-303 was suitable for dispersion. For this silane, the packing density was as high as about 72.49%. Moreover, when 1.2 wt% of dispersant BYK-103 was added, the packing density was about 80.5%.
