The electrical properties and its stability of Zn-Pr-Co-Cr-Tb-based varistors were investigated for different sintering temperatures. As the sintering temperatures increased, the varistor voltage decreased in the range of $705.2{\sim}299.1$ V/mm, the nonlinear coefficient decreased in the range of $42.4{\sim}31.7$, and the leakage current was in the range of $1.0{\sim}1.7\;{\mu}A$. The stability of electrical characteristics increased with the increase of sintering temperature. The varistors sintered at $1350^{\circ}C$ marked the high electrical stability, with $%\Delta$ $V_{1mA}=+0.1%,\;%\Delta{\alpha}=+3.2%$, and $%{\Delta}I_L=+117.6%$ for DC accelerated aging stress state of $0.95V_{1mA}/150^{\circ}C/24\;h$.

The nonlinear electrical properties and aging characteristics against surge stress of ZPCCL-based varistors were investigated for different sintering temperatures of the range $1240-1300^{\circ}C$. As the sintering temperature increased, the varistor voltage decreased from 732.2 to 53.8 V/mm, the nonlinear exponent decreased from 58.5 to 4.1, and the leakage current increased from $0.38{\mu}A$ to $46.5{\mu}A$. The varistors sintered at $1250^{\circ}C$ and $1260^{\circ}C$ exhibited the high stability against multiple surge, $150A/cm^2(8{\times}20{\mu}s)$. On the whole, the variation rate of electrical characteristics against impulse current stress was gradually increased in order of varistor voltage$\rightarrow$nonlinear exponent$\rightarrow$dissipation facto$\rightarrow$leakage current.

Anisotropic constitutive equations for sintering of metal powder compacts have been formulated from a linear viscous transversely-isotropic model in which an anisotropic sintering stress has been introduced to describe free sintering densification kinetics. The identification of material parameters defined in the model, has been achieved from thermomechanical experiments performed on 316L stainless steel warm-compacted powder in a dilatometer allowing controlled compressive loading.

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).

This paper deals with the bending fatigue strength of sintering spur gears. The test specimens are used to sintering spur gear to be consisted of Fe-C-Ni-Mn and SCM415 spur gear. The fatigue test at a constant stress amplitude is performed by using an electrohydraulic servo-controlled pulsating tester. The S-N curves are obtained and the enhancement of fatigue strength due to carburized treatment is clarified, Accordingly, this study presents the fatigue strength of sintering spur gear, SCM415 spur gear and carburized gears of them. The strength enhancement due to the carburized treatment is discussed.

To analyze the mechanical property and the residual stress in functionally gradient materials(FGMs), disctype TZP/Ni-and TZP/SUS304-FGM were hot pressed using powder metallurgy compared with directly bonded materials which were fabricated by the same method. The continuous interface and the microstructure of FGMs were characterized by EPMA, WDS, optical microscope and SEM. By fractography, the fracture behavior of FGMs was mainly influenced by the defects which originated from the fabrication process. And the defectlike cracks in the FGMs induced by the residual stress have been shown to cause failure. This fact has well corresponded to the analysis of the residual stress distribution by Finite Element Method (FEM). The residual stress generated on the interface (between each layer, and matrix and second phase, respectively) were dominantly influenced on the sintering temperature and the material constants. As a consequence, the interfacial stability and the relaxation of residual stress could be obtained through compositional gradient.

The effect of sintering atmosphere on the grain sizes and phase distributions in 3Y-ZrO2 and 8Y-ZrO2 was investigated O2 and N2 were used as sintering atmospheres. In the case of 3Y-ZrO2 the sintered density was higher in N2 than in O2 while in the case of 8Y-ZrO2 contrary results were obtained. The observation can be explained by the nitrogen solubility into the zirconia lattice. That is nitrogen gas can behave as a diffusive gas contrary to the behavior in other oxides depending on the amount of Y2O3. In 3Y-ZrO2 tetragonal phase was retained at room temperature irrespective of sintering atmospheres. Grain sizes of two specimens were below 2㎛ and larger in O2 thin in N2 Under a given stress the transformability of tetragonal phase into monoclinic phase was higher in O2 than N2. The results are discussed on the basis of an effect of the grain size and non-transformable ttragonal(t') phase.

The electrical stability for DC stress of Pr$_{6}$O$_{11}$-based ZnO varistos consisting of ZnO-Pr$_{6}$O$_{11}$-CoO-Cr$_2$O$_3$-Er$_2$O$_3$-based ceramics were investigated with sintering temperature in the range of 1325~1345$^{\circ}C$. A the sintering temperature is raised, the nonlinear exponent of varistors was decreased, whereas the stability was markedly improved. The density of ceramics was found to greatly affect the electrical stability for DC stress. The varistors sintered at 13$25^{\circ}C$ were completely degraded because of thermal runaway attributing to low density. The varistors sintered at 1335$^{\circ}C$ exhibited the highest nonlinearity, with a nonlinear exponent of 70.53 and a leakage current of 1.92$\mu$A, whereas they did not exhibit relatively high stability. On the contrary, the varistors sintered at >134$0^{\circ}C$ exhibited not only a high nonlinearity marking the nonlinear exponent above 50 and the leakage current below 3$\mu$A, but also a high stability marking the variation rate of the varistor voltage below 2%, even under DC stress such as (0.80V$_{1mA}$/9$0^{\circ}C$/12h)+(0.85V$_{1mA}$/115$^{\circ}C$/12h)+(0.90V$_{1mA}$/12$0^{\circ}C$/12h)+(0.95V$_{1mA}$/1$25^{\circ}C$/12h)+(0.95V$_{1mA}$/15$0^{\circ}C$/12h). In particular, ti was found that the varistors sintered at 134$0^{\circ}C$ were more nonlinear and more stable, compared with that of 1345$^{\circ}C$.EX>.}C$.EX>.

The microstructure, electrical, and degradation characteristics against impulse current of ZPCCL-based varistors were investigated with various sintering temperature in the range of $1240\sim1300^{\circ}C$. The densification of varistors was improved, but the nonlinearity was deteriorated with increase of sintering temperature. The varistors sintered at $1250^{\circ}C$ and $1260^{\circ}C$ exhibited high stability against surge stress. On the whole, the variation of characteristics of varistor for surge stress was increased in order of varistor voltage$\rightarrow$nonlinear exponent$\rightarrow$dissipation factor$\rightarrow$leakage current.
