The thermodynamical estimation of the interfacial reaction and the impact properties of $Nb/MoSi_2$ laminate composites containing SiC, $NbSi_2$ or $ZrO_2$ particles are investigated. Laminate composites, which comprise alternating layers of $MoSi_2$ with the particle and Nb foil, were fabricated by the hot press process. It is clearly found out that the interfacial reaction of $Nb/MoSi_2$ can be controlled by the addition of $ZrO_2$ particle to the $MoSi_2$ phase. The addition of $ZrO_2$ particle increases both the impact value and the sintered density of Nb/McSij, The suppression of the interfacial reaction is caused by the formation of $ZrSiO_2$ in $MoSi_2-ZrO_2$ matrix mixture.

The $BaTiO_3$ powders were synthesized by GNP (Glycine-Nitrate process). The powders were prepared using carbonate and alkoxide as starting materials and nitric acid was used as a solvent for starting materials as well as an oxidant for combustion. the effects of aggregates in $BaTiO_3$ powders on green densities, sintering and dielectric characteristics were investigated. When the glycine/cation molar ratio was 1.2, reactivity of self-combustion was most intensive and the degree of aggregates after calcination was low. On sintering at $1400^{\circ}C$, maximum theoretical relative density(94.99%%0 was obtained in case of 1.2 molar ratio of glycine/cation. The dielectric constant of this sintered $BaTiO_3$ was 1919.

In this paper, in order to develop low loss multilayer actuator, piezoelectric properties of PZW-PMN-PZT multilayer actuator sintered at $900^{\circ}C$ low temperature were investigated according to the number of multilayer. The multilayer actuator was fabricated using tape casting method and used pure Ag internal electrode. The density above $8.0\;g/cm^3$ was obtained at all specimens. With increasing number of multilayer, effective electromechanical coupling factor($k_{eff}$) was increased. $k_{eff}$ of multilayer actuator shows the maximum value of 0.283 at 11 layers actuator. However, effective mechanical quality factor(Qm') was decreased according to the increase of number of multilayer. The Qm' of multilayer actuator showed the maximum value of 920 at 5 layers actuator.

Noise properties of the pyroelectric infrared sensor were investigated with particle size of the raw materials and gain size of the specimens. Particle size were decreased and sintered density, voltage resposivity were increased with increasing the ball-mill times. The specimen ball-milled for a 80[hr] showed a good pop-corn noise properties.

The purpose of this paper is comparing the forging effect according to the shape of preforms of cup shaped powder forging product, and extending the application of powder forging technology to more complicated cup-shaped products like pistons. In order to achieve this, preforms are provided by compacting, sintering, and machining to 5 different shapes, then forged to the final shape of products. The workability for sintered aluminium powder material was examined and confirmed its slope was 0.5 as known. Density and strain loci of forged products are also evaluated and compared. On the basis of the results, the most effective shape of preform was proposed. The preform for the piston which is 50mm in diameter was prepared and hot forged successfully to the final product.

In order to fabricate a high density sintered body of ITO, nano-sized ITO powders were synthesized by coprecipitation methods. Aqueous solutions of indium and tin salts were mixed and coprecipitated by changing their pH. Coprecipitated ITO powders possessed 20-30 nm crystallite size and a relatively high BET value ($35m^2/g$), however, aggregation of particles were occurred. Therefore, a novel recrystallization technique was applied in order to eliminate the aggregates. The recrystallized ITO material consists of a little bit larger needlelike crystals, $20nm{\times}80nm$, and it possesses a higher BET value $(57m^{2}/g)$ compared to the plain coprecipitated material $(35m^{2}/g)$. Metastable phase formation and higher content of aggregated particles were observed in the coprecipitated materials. Densification was 95% to 98% complete after 5 hour sintering at $1500^{\circ}C$ for the recrystallized powders while densities of the coprecipitated powders were below 75%.

Nanostructured(NS) W-Cu composite powders of about 20~30 nm grain size were synthesized by mechanical alloying. The properties of NS W-Cu powder and its sintering behavior were investigated. It was shown from X-ray diffraction and TEM analysis that the supersaturated solid solution of Cu in W was not formed by the mechanical alloying of mixed elemental powders, but the mixture of W and Cu particles with nanosize grains, i.e., the nanocomposite powder was attained. Nanocomposite W-20wt%Cu and W-30wt%Cu powders milled for 100 h were sintered to the relative density more than 96% and 98%, respectively, by sintering at 110$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 h in $H_2$. Such a high sinterability was attributed to the high homogeneous mixing and ultra-fine structure of W and Cu phases as well as activated sintering effect by impurity metal introduced during milling.

Sintering behavior of 2xxx series Al alloy was investigated to obtain full densification and sound microstructure. The commercial 2xxx series Al alloy powder. AMB2712, was used as a starting powder. The mixing powder was characterized by using particle size analyzer, SEM and XRD. The optimum compacting pressure was 200 MPa, which was the starting point of the "homogeneous deformation" stage. The powder compacts were sintered at $550~630^{\circ}C$ after burn-off process at $400^{\circ}C$. Swelling phenomenon caused by transient liquid phase sintering was observed below $590^{\circ}C$ of sintering temperature. At $610^{\circ}C$, sintering density was increased by effect of remained liquid phase. Further densification was not observed above $610^{\circ}C$. Therefore, it was determined that the optimum sintering temperature of AMB2712 powder was $610^{\circ}C$.}C$.

Successful implementation of the powder forming process requires a detailed understanding of several interacting phenomena. The aim is to better control the process variables and to optimize the design parameters. A number of studies were carried out using various constitutive models that take the density change during powder forming into account. Most of them were developed for powders and sintered porous metals, but few of them can describe powder agglomerates, whose behaviour is different from that of uniformly arranged powders. The modification is needed to account for the effect of agglomeration on densification behaviour. Incorporating powder agglomeration into a constitutive model is of considerable importance, as it provides a possibility of relating the powder densification response to microstructural characteristics of powder particles, especially in case of nano powders. In this paper, we proposed a new powder agglomerate model in order to describe the unique densification behaviour of nano powders. The proposed model was applied to the densification of powder agglomerates during cold isostatic pressing.
