In this study, unsistered, pre-sintered and sintered low purity alumina ceramics were machined with various tools to clarify the machniability, the optimum tool materials and the optimum tool materials and the optimum cutting conditions. The maon conclusions obtained were as follows. (1) Machined withalloy steel tool, the machinabilty of te pre-sintered ceramics becomes better with the decrease of pre-sintering temperature, but that of unsintered ceramics(white body) was extremely poor. (2) In the case of carbide tool K01, the tool life in machining white body was the longest, and the machinabilty of pre-sintered ceramics becomes poorer with the increase of the pre-sintering temperature. (3) In the case of ceramic tool, the 10000-1100 .deg. C pre-sintered ceramics showed te best machinability within a certain cutting speed range. So far as dry machining, the above combination and conditions showed the highest productivity. (4) When the pre-sintered ceramics were wet machined withsintered diamond tool, the tool life becomes extremelylong, and higher cutting speed can be can be used than in the case offull-sintered ceramics. The productivity of wet cutting is much higher than that ofdry cutting.

In this study, unsintered and pre-sintered low purity alumina ceramics were machined with various tools to clarify the machinability, optimum tool materials and optimum cutting conditions. The main conclusions obtained were as follows. (1)In the case of dry cutting, the sintered diamond and natural diamond tools exhibit better performance in machining of the ceramic pre-sintered at lower temperature, and the tool lives of both tools in machining the ceramics pre-sintered at high temperature becomes extremely short. (2)The performance of CBN tool becomes better in dry machining of the ceramics pre-sintered at higher temperature. (3)When the pre-sintered ceramics were wet machined with sintered diamond, the tool life becomes considerably long, and higher cutting speed can be used than in the case of the CBN and ceramic tools, the tool lives becomes shorter at wet cutting than at dry cutting, especially exhibiting extremely short tool life in wet cutting with ceramic tool.

Cordierite ceramics were fabricated via a reaction sintering process using ceramics-filled polysiloxane as a precursor for cordierite ceramics. In this study, the effects of the additive composition, additive content, and sintering temperature on the sintered density and compressive strength of cordierite ceramics have been investigated The sintered densities of reaction-sintered cordierite ceramics containing $TiO_2$ as an additive were insensitive to the additive composition, additive content, and sintering temperature and ranged from $1.92g/cm^3\;to\;2.06g/cm^3$. In contrast, the cordierite ceramics containing $Y_2O_3$ showed a maximal density of $2.21g/cm^3$ at 5 wt% addition and at a sintering temperature of $1400^{\circ}C$. The compressive strength of cordierite ceramics showed the same tendency with the density. Typical compressive strength of cordierite ceramics containing 5 wt% $Y_2O_3$ as a sintering additive and sintered at $1400^{\circ}C\;was\;{\sim}480MPa$.

Ba(Zn$_1$-xCox)TaO$_3$[BZCT] ceramics were Prepared by the conventional mixed oxide method. The ceramics were sintered at the temperature of 1450∼1550$\^{C}$ for 5 hr in air. The crystal structure of BZCT ceramics was investigated by the XRD. The microstructure of the specimens were observed by SEM. The structural properties of BZCT specimens were investigated as a function of composition and sintering temperature. All BZCT ceramics sintered over 1550$\^{C}$ were showed a polycrystalline complek perovskite structure without second phases and any unreacted materials. The density of BZCT (70/30) specimen sintered at 1550$\^{C}$ was 6.31g/㎤. In the case of the BZCT(70/30) ceramics sintered at 1550$\^{C}$ for 5 hours, dielectric constant, qualify factor and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency for microwave dielectrics application were a good value of 29, 16,468 at 10㎓ and -4.4 ppm/$\^{C}$, respectively.

The varistor properties and stability against dc-accelerated stress of $V_2O_5-Mn_3O_4-Co_3O_4-Dy_2O_3-Nb_2O_5-Bi_2O_3$ (VMCDNB)-doped zinc oxide ceramics sintered at $850-925^{\circ}C$ were investigated. Increasing the sintering temperature increased the average grain size from 4.6 to 8.7 mm and decreased the density of the sintered pellet density from 5.54 to $5.42g/cm^3$. The breakdown field decreased from 5919 to 1465 V/cm because of the increase in the average grain size. Zinc oxide ceramics sintered at $875^{\circ}C$ showed the highest nonlinear coefficient (43.6) and the highest potential barrier height (0.96 eV). Zinc oxide ceramics sintered at $850^{\circ}C$ showed the highest stability: the variation rate of the breakdown field was -2.0% and the variation rate of the nonlinear coefficient was -23.3%, after application of the specified stress (applied voltage/temperature/time).

The degradation behaviour of ZPCCL-based varistor ceramics composed of 97.5 mol%ZnO-0.5 mol% $Pr_6O_{11}-1.0$ mol% $Cr_2O_3-0.5$ mol% $La_2O_3$ was investigated under various DC accelerated aging streses. The varistor ceramics sintered for 1 h exhibited excellent nonlinearity, in which the nonlinear exponent is 81.6 and the leakage current is $0.2{\mu}A$. It was found that this varistor ceramics possess high stability, in which the variation rates of varistor voltage, nonlinear exponent, and leakage current are -1.14%, -3.7%, and 85.0%, respectively, against DC accelerated aging stress. On the contrary, the varistor ceramics sintered for 2 h also exhibited high nonlinearity and stability, but they were bad characteristics, compared with the varistor ceramics sintered for 1 h.

Porous zirconia ceramics are widely considered to be important due to their unique properties and potential applications. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to produce porous zirconia ceramics. The linear shrinkage of the prepared porous zirconia ceramics could be controlled to 4% by incorporating pre-sintered zirconia granules and hollow polymeric spheres. We also investigated the effect of pre-sintered zirconia granules on the microstructure and the properties, such as the porosity, pore distribution, and bending strength of the porous zirconia ceramics.

Phase stability of tetragonal crystals in yttria-stabilized zirconia ceramics is dependent on the content of yttria and the heat-treatment condition, related with mechanical properties. In this study, we fabricated the 1.5 mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia (1.5Y-YSZ) ceramics by cold isostatic pressing (CIP) and post-sintering at temperature range of 1200 to 1350℃ for 2 hours and investigated the sintered properties and microstructural evolution. Sintered and microstructural parameters, i.e, apparent density, grain size and phase composition of 1.5Y-YSZ ceramics were mainly dependent on the sintering temperature. Maximum sintered density of 99.4 % and average grain size of 200-300 nm could be obtained from the heat-treatment condition above sintering temperature at 1300℃ for 2 hours, possessing the superior mechanical hardness with 1200 Hv. However, phase stability of tetragonal grains in 1.5 YSZ ceramics is very low, inducing the phase transformation to monoclinic crystals on specimen surface during cooling after heat-treatment.
