Glass-ceramics containing a cordierite (2MgO-2Al2O3-5SiO2) as a main crystal phase was prepared from MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 system glass through a controlled 2-step heat treatment for the application to magnetic memory disk substrate for higher storage capacity. Parent glasses prepared with addition of CeO2 as a fulx and TiO2 as a nucleating agent were crystallized by a 2-step heat treatment i.e. nucleation and crystal grwoth. Then the maximum nucleation and crystal growth rates were investigated and several properties such as bending strength, surface hardness and surface roughness were also studied for heat treated glass. As a result, only a $\alpha$-cordierite was precipitated as a main crystal phase for all heat treatment conditions and the maximum nucleation and crystal growth rates were 2.4$\times$109/㎣.hr at 80$0^{\circ}C$ and 0.3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/hr at 915$^{\circ}C$ respectively. After being nucleated at 80$0^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours and then crystallized at 915$^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour, the heat treated glass had a crystal volume fraction of 17.6% and crystal size fo 0.3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, and showed the optimum properties for the application to magnetic memory disk substrates as follows. ; Bending strength of 192 MPa, Vidkers hardness of 642.1kgf/$\textrm{mm}^2$, and surface roughness of 27$\AA$.

Glass ceramics for dental crown prosthesis were prepared by crystallization of CaO-MgO-SiO2-$P_2O_5-TiO_2$ glasses. Their crystallization behaviors have been investigated as a function of heattreatment temperature, holding time and chemical composition in relation to mechinical properties. Crystallization peak temperatures were determined by differential thermal analysis(DTA). Crystalline phases and mircostructures of heat-treated sample were determined by the means of powder X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The final crystalline phase assemblages and the microstructures of the samples were found to be dependent on glass compositions, heattreatment temperature, and holding time. 1st crystallization peak temperature(TP), affected strongly by apatite, was found to be increased or decreased. From the experiment, the following results were obtained : 1. The crystallization peak temperature($T_P$) formed by apatite increased until adding up to 9wt% $TiO_2$ to base glass composition, then decreased above that. 2. Apatite($Ca_{10}P_6O_{25}$), whitlockite(${\beta}-3CaO-P_2O_5$), $\beta$-wollastonite($CaSiO_3$), magnesium tianate($MaTiO_3$) and diopside(CaO-MgO-$2SiO_2$) crystal phase were precipitated in MgO-CaO-$SiO_2-TiO_2-P_2O_5$ glass system containing 9wt% and 11wt% of $TiO_2$ 3. Vickers hardness of samples increased with increasing heat-treatment temperature and Vickers hardness of S415T9 samples heat-treated at 1075 was approxi-mately 813Kg $mm^{-2}$ as maximum value. 4. Vickers hardness of samples increased due to precipitation of apatite, whitlockite, $\beta$-wollastonite, magnesium titanate, and diopside crystal phases within glass matrix.

The glass-electroceramics were composed of glass composition(CaO, $SiO_2$, $B_2$ $O_3$) and electroceramic composition(BaO, N $d_2$ $O_3$, B $i_2$ $O_3$ and Ti $O_2$) Their dielectric properties have been investigated as a function of sintering temperature and glass contents. In the ceramics composed of 0.16BaO-0.15(N $d_{0.87}$,B $i_{0.13}$)$_2$ $O_3$-0.69Ti $O_2$with glass ［EG-2782］ 3wt% addition and sintered at 108$0^{\circ}C$ for 2h, we could obtain microwave properties of dielectric constant $\varepsilon$$_{r}$ = 80.1, quality factor Q $\times$f = 810(at 3.5 GHz) and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency $\tau$$_{f}$ = -1.3 ［ppm/$^{\circ}C$］. These experimental results show that dielectric constant and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency could be estimated by empirical equations involving the rule of mixture.e.

$xCa(Li_{1/4}Nb_{3/4})O_{3}-(1-x)CaTiO_{3}$ ceramics were sintered under the presence of zinc-borosilicate(ZBS) glass and resultant microwave dielectric properties were investigated with a view to applying the composition to low-temperature co-fired ceramic(LTCC) technology. The addition of $5{\sim}15wt%$ ZBS glass ensured successful sintering below $900\;^{\circ}C$. In general, increased addition of ZBS glass increased sinterability but it decreased the quality factor($Q{\times}f_{0}$) significantly due to the formation of an excessive liquid and second phases. As for the addition of $CaTiO_3$, the dielectric constant(${\epsilon}_r$) and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency(${\tau}_f$) increased, while the quality factor($Q{\times}f_{0}$) did not show an apparent change. The sintered $0.9Ca(Li_{1/4}Nb_{3/4})O_{3}-0.1CaTiO_{3}$ specimen at $900\;^{\circ}C$ with 10 wt% ZBS glass demonstrated 39.6 in dielectric constant(${\epsilon}_r$), 4,400 in quality factor$(Q{\times}f_{0}),\;and\;-11ppm/^{\circ}C$ in temperature coefficient of resonant frequency(${\tau}_f$).

Anorthite forming glass frits in amounts up to 25 vol% of the silver powder were added to improve the adhesion between the conductor pattern formed by thick film photoimageable process and the low temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC) substrate. The sheet resistance of the conductor pattern was raised from 0.13 ${\Omega}/{\square}$ to 2.25 ${\Omega}/{\square}$ as the volume percentage of glass frit increased up to 25 vol%. The adhesion strength was improved with this glass frit increase, but it decreased when the glass content exceeded 20 vol% which are possibly attributed to the liquid pool effect and the reduced fracture toughness in the interface between conductor and LTCC layer. The shrinkage of the width of the conductor pattern decreased with the addition of glass contents.

The effects of $Al_2O_3$ on the crystallization behavior of glass compositions in the $Na_2O$-CaO-$SiO_2$ system were investigated by differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effect of $Al_2O_3$ content on the mechanical properties, density, phase formation, and microstructures of $Na_2O$-CaO-$P_2O_5$-$SiO_2$ glass ceramics were studied. The thermal parameters of each glass were studied by DTA. The density of the glass ceramic samples was measured by Archimedes' method. It was found that the glass-ceramic containing 2.0 molar percent $Al_2O_3$ had desirable sintering behavior and reached an acceptable density. Phase investigation and micro-structural analysis were performed by XRD and SEM, respectively.

Ultrasonic machining (USM) does not involve heating or any electrochemical effects, and subsequently causes low surface damage, has small residual stress, and does not rely on the conductivity of the workpiece. These characteristics are suitable for the machining of brittle materials, such as glass or ceramics. However, USM for brittle materials generates cracks on the workpiece while machining, especially at the hole exit with a small diameter. In this study, wax coating was used to deposit wax on the back side of the workpiece to decrease the occurrence of cracks at the exit holes in USM, and it was finally removed with a cleaning process. The experimental results show that this technique is beneficial for restricting the occurrence of cracks in glass or ceramics.

Crystallizable glasses with precipitation of celsian, anorthite, wollastonite and gahnite were prepared for the purpose of insulating dielectric layers in devices such as integrated circuit substrates. The starting glasses were prepared by melting the batches for 1 hour at 1450.deg. C and then Quenching to a distilled water. And crystallization behavior of these glasses were studied by DTA, TMA, XRD analysis and by the measurement of dielectric properties. The overall composition of the glass-ceramic consists in weight percent of 30-35% A1$_{2}$O$_{3}$, 13-26% BaO, 5-21% CaO, 10-24% ZnO, 4.5-9.0% TiO$_{2}$ and 4-8% B$_{2}$O$_{3}$. As a result, in barium-rich glasses only celsian phase was developed in the range of 850-900.deg. C. Also, the thermal expansion coefficient, dielectric constant and quality factor of these glass-ceramics were 68*10$^{-7}$ /.deg. C, about 9 and more than 1000, respectively.
