The variation of the sintered density and grain size of UO$_2$ as a function of the Li$_2$O amount and sintering atmosphere was observed. Li$_2$O enhanced the grain growth of the UO$_2$ pellet in H$_2$, but rather hindered it in $CO_2$ atmosphere. Grain size of the UO$_2$ and UO$_2$-0.1 wt%Li$_2$O pellets was, respectively, 8 $\mu$m and 100 $\mu$m at 168$0^{\circ}C$ in the H$_2$ atmosphere, and that of each pellet was, respectively, 24 $\mu$m and 17 $\mu$m at the same temperature in the $CO_2$ atmosphere. As-received Li$_2$O powder, which had been composed of Li$_2$O and LiOH, was converted to the Li$_2$CO$_3$ phase after heating to 80$0^{\circ}C$ in $CO_2$. On the other hand, the Li$_2$O and LiOH phases remained unchanged in H$_2$ atmosphere. In the H$_2$, the as-received Li$_2$O powder began to evaporate at about 105$0^{\circ}C$ and then about 20 wt% residue was left at 150$0^{\circ}C$. But, most of the Li elements evaporated at 150$0^{\circ}C$ in the $CO_2$ atmosphere.

The effect of$H_{2}/N_{2}$gas sintering atmosphere on the carbon content and mechanical properties during the metal injection molding process of carbonyl iron-nickel powder was studied. The carbon content of the specimen after debinding in the pure$N_{2}$atmosphere appeared 0.78 wt%. After showing the maximum value of 1.48 wt.% in the debinding atmosphere of 10%$H_{2}/N_{2}$gas mixture, the carbon content of the debinded specimen decreased gradually with increasing the$H_2$content in the$H_{2}/N_{2}$gas mixture. The carbon contents of the sintered specimen were 0.46~0.63wt% in Na gas atmosphere, while they appeared extremely low above 40%$H_{2}/N_{2}$gas atmosphere. The relative sintered density increased abruptly from 88~90% to 93~96% with the addition of Ni, while the density nearly unchanged above 2% Ni addition. The sintered density increased with increasing the fraction of$H_{2} in H_{2}/N_{2}$gas mixture. Tensile strength and hardness increased, and elongation decreased with increasing carbon and Ni content. In spite of high carbon content of 0.63 wt%, the superior elongation value of 10% was shown.

PTCR ceramics of $(Ba_{0.998}Sm_{0.002})TiO_3+0.001MnCO_3+xSiO_2$ (x=1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 mol%) were fabricated by solid state method. Disk samples of diameter 5 mm and thickness about 1mm were sintered at $1,290^{\circ}C$ for 2 h in reduced atmosphere of $5%H_2-95%N_2$ followed by re-oxidation at $600^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. in $20%O_2-80%N_2$.and their microstructures and electrical properties were investigated with SEM and Multimeter. The color of sintered samples was strongly dependent on $SiO_2$ content showing that the color of samples with $SiO_2$ of 1~2 mol% was gray but that of samples with $SiO_2$ of 4~6 mol% was changed from gray to blue, which seems to be related with the reduction of samples due to the oxygen vacancies created during the sintering in reduced atmosphere. $SiO_2$ content had a great influence on the microstructure and the electrical properties. With increasing $SiO_2$ content, the grain size of samples increased and the resistivity as well as the resistivity jump ($R_{285}/R_{min}$) decreased, which is considered to be attributed to the resistivity change at grain interior and grain boundary due to the fast mass transfer through $SiO_2$ liquide phase during the sintering. Samples with 2 mol% $SiO_2$ has the resistivity of $202{\Omega}cm$ and the resistivity jump of 3.28. It is expected that $SiO_2$ doped $BaTiO_3$ based PTC ceramics can be used for multilayered PTC thermistor due to the resistance to the sintering in reduced atmosphere.

Hydrogen, in even small quantities, is extremely deleterious to the sintering of aluminium. Understanding the cause of this effect is complicated by the multiple interactions that occur in multi-component systems. In this work, we examine the sintering rsponse of Al-2Mg (a simplified system) in pure nitrogen and nitrogen-hydrogen using dilatometry, differential scanning calorimetery, thermogravimetry and metallography.

핵연료로서 사용 가능한 O/U비 범위인 2.005～2.01의 이산화 우라늄의 소결체를 환원 공정을 거치지 않고 직접 $CO_2$/CO 혼합깨스 분위기에서 소결하였다. O/U비 변화가 소결속도에 미치는 영향을 소결후기에서 조사하였으며, 일정 O/U비에 있어서의 소결 온도-시간-밀도-입도 간의 관계를 나타내는 소결 다이아그램을 결정하였다. 그결과 소결분위기중의 산소분압만을 조절하여, 이론밀도의 95%이상, 평균입도 7$\mu\textrm{m}$ 이상의 소결체를 1050$^{\circ}$～120$0^{\circ}C$의 저온에서 쉽게 얻을 수 있었다. 소결후기의 결정입도의 성장속도는 D=(Kt)$^{1}$4/의 실험식에 따르고, 결정립성장에 대한 활성화 에너지는 O/U비가 2,005, 2.01, 2.10일 때 각각 75, 64, 62Kcal/mol이었다. O/U비가 변화해도 활성화 에너지는 크게 변하지 않았지만, 소결은 산소 분압의 증가에 따라 크게 증가하였다.

Effects of calcination process and ZrO2 addition on the electrical properties of [(Ba0.82Sr0.08Ca0.1)O]m(Ti1-$\chi$Zr$\chi$)O2 ceramics have been investigated. With the variation of A/B-site ratio m of the dielectric formulations, sintering behavior and the resistivity after sintering in a reducing atmosphere have been affected by the calcination process. When the dielectric formulations of m=1.01 were sintered in a reducing atmosphere, the room-temperature resitivity of 109 {{{{ OMEGA }}.cm was obtained for samples processed with two-step calcination, which was much lower than 1012 {{{{ OMEGA }}.cm of samples calcined once. It was confirmed that high resistivity of Ca-doped BaTiO3 ceramics, after sintering in a reducing atmosphere, is maintained by acceptor-like behavior of CaTi" which is formed by Ca substitution to Ti-site. It was also found out that the critical amount of B-site Ca substitution for reduction inhibition of BaTiO3 is around 0.005 mol. With the increasing amount of ZrO2 addition to dielectric formulations, Curie peak was depressed and Curie temperature was lowered due to the enhanced diffuse phase transition.tion.

Silicon carbide with sialon was prepared by hot pressing and transient liquid-phase sintering, and the effects of sintering atmosphere and starting phases on their microstructural characteristics were investigated. The sintered SiC with Sialon composition(Y2O3, AlN, Si3N4) in argon atmosphere had high sintered density and large aspect ratio. But sintered specimens in nitrogen atmosphere showed low aspect ratio and small grian size, becuase of the retardation of phase transformation and grain growth. Addition of Y-Sialon powder to SiC also retarded the phase transformation to ${\alpha}$-SiC from ${\beta}$-SiC and densification. The SiC specimen prepared from the starting ${\beta}$-SiC powder with Sialon composition(Y2O3, AlN, Si3N4) showed the highest fracture toughness about 6.0 MPa$.$m1/2.

Manufacturing process for silicate glass phosphors containing Eu2+ activator and their photoluminescence property have been studied. We adopted powder sintering process instead of traditional glass melting process for making glass phosphor. At first, phosphor powders were synthesized at 1200 ℃ for 2-3 hours under a reducing atmosphere with 10% H2-90% N2 gas mixture. The reduced powders were compacted into discs and then the discs weresintered at 1400 ~ 1500 ℃ for 1 hr under a reducing atmosphere of 5H2-95% N2. The enhancement of PL intensity by Al2O3 addition, XPS binding energy shift of Si 2p and O 1s, sintering shrinkage, and crystallization were characterized.

본 실험에서는 로터리 킬른으로 제조되는 인공경량골재의 실험실적 제어 가능성을 찾고자 여러 가지 소성조건에서 석탄 화력발전소에서 발생되는 바닥재와 준설토를 이용하여 인공경량골재를 제조하였다. 인공경량골재 조성은 바닥재 70 wt%와 준설토 30 wt%의 무게비로 성형하였고, 산화 분위기, 불활성 분위기, 환원 분위기에서 각각 $1150^{\circ}C$, $1200^{\circ}C$에서 소성하여 제조된 인공경량골재는 산화 분위기에서 명확한 블랙코어와 껍질(shell)간의 경계를 보이나, 불활성 분위기에서는 질소량이 증가할수록 그리고 소성온도가 증가할수록 경계가 없어지는 경향을 보이며, 환원 분위기에서는 단면 전체가 진회색을 띄게 된다. 로터리 킬른의 분위기와 가장 근접한 소성 분위기는 불활성분위기였으며 밀도나 흡수율 또한 그것과 유사하였다. 이러한 결과로 소형 전기로에서 로터리 킬른의 환경과 유사하게 조건을 제어할 수 있고, 물성을 예측할 수 있는 실험이 가능할 것으로 생각된다.

$\alpha$-SiC(B; 0.4 wt, C; 3 wt%) was sintered in Ar atmosphere from 205$0^{\circ}C$ to 220$0^{\circ}C$ by means of pressureless sintering and gas pressure sintering in order to find optimum sintering condition of $\alpha$-SiC. Mechanical properties and microstructures of sintered bodies were investigated according to sintering method. The effect of sintering condition on sinterability of $\alpha$-SiC was also examined by using the dilatometer. 97.5% and 98.8% of theoretical density were obtained from pressureless sintering and gas pressure sintering of $\alpha$-SiC powder, respectively. And modulus of rupture was measured as 270~350 MPa and 420 MPa respectively.
