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.

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.

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.

Porous alumina was fabricated from pressureless powder packing forming method using powders granulated by spray drying. It was investigated the pore size distribution of fabricated porous alumina. The results of microstructural observation showed that intraganular pore size and intragranular pore size. At 1700$^{\circ}C$ there were no intragranular pores but it showed homogeneous distribution of intergranular pore size. The bending strength and shrinkage increased as porosity decreased. In case of thermal shock resistance sudden decrease of bending strength to $\Delta$T was not shown because intergranular large pore prevented sudden crack propagation.

Porous ceramics were fabricated from pressureless powder packing forming method using mullite and cordierite powders granulate by spray drying. The bending strength and shrinkage of porous ceramics were increased and their porosity were decreased with increasing temperature. It showed homogeneous distribution of 2$\mu\textrm{m}$ intergranular pores of mullite at 1400$^{\circ}C$, 2.5$\mu\textrm{m}$ intergranular pores of cordierite at 1300$^{\circ}C$ respedtively. Above that temperature intragranular particles were sintered and sintering by intergranular necking was extremely proceeded. In the test of thermal shock resistance sudden decrease of bending strength to $\Delta$T was not shown because intergranular large pore prevented sudden crack propagation.

To fabricate the ceramic/metal(SiC/ Al alloy) composite, SiC preform was prepared by Pressureless Powder Packing Forming Method and 6061 Al alloy was infiltrated into the preform. Uniform compact having an average pore size of 10 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and narrow pore size distribution was prepared. Phenolic resin solution(40 wt%) was penetrated into the SiC compact, and then the compact was preheated at the temperature of 120$0^{\circ}C$. The pore size distribution and the microstructure of the preform were not changed by preheating. An uniform microstructure without any crack in the preform was obtained in SiC-Al alloy composite. The infiltration of 6061. Al alloy into the preform began at the temperature of 130$0^{\circ}C$ and the amount of infiltration increased in proportion to the infiltration temperature and the soaking time. The increasement rate of the infiltration amount decreased after 3 h. As a result of the infiltration at 140$0^{\circ}C$ for 4 h, Al alloy was well distributed in the interparticle channels and the relative density of the composite was above 98%. The strength and the fracture toughness of the composite were 303 MPa and 21.65 MPam1/2, respectively.

+325~-200 mesh의 합성 뮬라이트에 평균입경 9.1$\mu\textrm{m}$의 장석을 첨가하여 무가압분물충전성형법으로 성형한후 1200~140$0^{\circ}C$에서의 치밀화 거동을 관찰하였다. 적절한 성형강도를 얻기 위해 충전된 분말내로 PVA 4% 결합제 용액을 침투시켰다. 가소성을 얻기 위한 점토없이 성형이 가능한 무가압분말충전성형법에 의해 제조된 성형체를 열처리하는 경우, 기존의 방법처럼 점토의 상전이로 인한 결함발생이 없었으며 장석의 용융에 의해 치밀한 미세구조를 얻을 수 있었다. 장석 첨가량이 30%인 시편의 경우 130$0^{\circ}C$에서 4시간 동안 소결했을 때 흡수율 0, 기공율 1% 미만의 치밀한 미세조직을 얻을 수 있었다. 그러나 그 이상의 유지시간이나, 140$0^{\circ}C$ 이상의 소결온도에서는 뮬라이트의 거대 입성장이 일어났다.
