Mullitization of kaolinite and dickite was examined with special attention to the influence of polytypism and impurities on the phase transformation. The phase transformation sequence in dickite is identical with that in kaolinite except that cristobalite is crystallized at $50^{\circ}C$ higher temperature in dickite. Difference in phase transformation above $1000^{\circ}C$ in kaolin minerals is attributed to the different crystal structures of metadickite and metakaolinite on the effect of impurities. A part of quartz is transformaed into cristobalite. Spinel-type phase produced in disordered kaolins including illite occurs over a short range of temperatures. Primary mullite is transformed into orthorhombic mullite at higher temperature as well. These results sustain the idea that disintegration of methkaolin and the spinel-type phase supplies extra sillica and promotes the growth of mullite cristobalite.

Analyses for concentration, surface phenomena, and crystal structure were performed to identify the causes of clinker formation in three type of pulverized coal fired boilers. Some clinkers had partially molten surface and more CaO and $Fe_2O_3$ as compared with fly ash, and the major crystalline phases identified in the clinker were mullite and quartz. Clinkers were formed in high temperature zone of the boiler according to the identification of mullite by XRD. Free $SiO_2$ in sand combined with K, Na and Ca in limestone served as a fluxing agent to form clinkers in a circulating bed boiler.

The surface of SiC particles were partially oxidized to produce SiO2 layers on the SiC particles to prepare Al2O3/SiC composite by formation of mullite bonds between the grains of Al2O3 and SiC during sintering at 1$600^{\circ}C$. This process is considered to enable the sintering of Al2O3/SiC composite at lower temperature and also to relieve the stress, produced by thermal expansion mismatch between Al2O3 and SiC. In fact, Al2O3/SiC composite prepared by oxidation of SiC was observed to be more effectively sintered and densified at lower temperature. Maximum density, flexural strength and microhardness were obtained with 5.65 vol% of mullite content in Al2O3/SiC composite.

Mullite was synthesized by using kaolin and $\alpha$-alumina, and halloysite and aluminum hydroxide as raw materials at the various temperature in the range of 1200$^{\circ}$-1750$^{\circ}$C. The degree of mullitization was measured respectively by a quantitative X-ray diffraction method and a chemical analysis method. The rate and the maximum degree of mullitization were found to increase with temperature . The reaction completed at 1600$^{\circ}$Cfor less than 30 minutes, and yielded 98% mulllite inpurity in the case of kaolin-Al(OH)3. TiO$_2$ up to 3% was added to the batches of kaolin-Al(OH)$_3$. the effect of addition on the mullitization was investigated and found to decrease the sintering temperature for the mullitization. The mechanism of TiO$_2$ addition on the formation of mullite was also discussed.

Well-dispersed slurries of submicron-sized alumina powders were pressure-infiltrated in 3D preforms of mullite fibers and the effects of the particle size and infiltration pressure on the particle packing characteristics were investigated. Infiltration without pressure showed that the packing density increased as the particle size decreased due to the reduction of the friction between the particles and the fibers. The infiltrated preforms contained large pores in the large voids between the fiber tows and small pores in the narrow voids between the individual fibers. Pressure infiltration resulted in a packing density of 77% regardless of the particle size or the infiltration pressure(210 ~ 620 kPa). Pressure infiltration shortened the infiltration time and eliminated the large pores in preforms infiltrated with the slurries of smaller particles. The slurry pressure-infiltration process is thus an efficient method for the packing of matrix materials in various preforms.

The possibility of the sources for the manufacture of mullite-rich refractories from the modified domestic alunite was studied. The modifying method of alunite studied were performed by calcination, wet ballmilling, and washing with water. For synthesis of mullite-rich refractories, the modified alunite with the addition of alumina and Fe2O3 as mineralizer was fired at 1350$^{\circ}$-155$0^{\circ}C$, and the following results were obtained: 1) The suitable firing temperature range was 1450$^{\circ}$-150$0^{\circ}C$, and adequate amounts of Al2O3 and Fe2O3 were below 30% and 3~4%, respectively. 2) Thermal expansion coefficient proportional to heating temperature was about 5$\times$10-6~10$\times$10-6cm/cm.deg. 3) The mineralogical compositions of the sintered specimens were found as mainly mullite and corundum.

We have demonstrated that textured $Al_2O_3-mullite-SiC$ nanocomposites can be fabricated by slip casting followed by partial oxidation - reaction sintering of mixed suspensions of $Al_2O_3$ and SiC powders in a high magnetic field. The sintered density was changed by the degree of oxidation at 1200C and 1300C. The degree of orientation of alumina in the nanocomposite was examined on the basis of the X-ray diffraction patterns and scanning electron micrographs. It is confirmed that alumina-oriented nanocomposites were fabricated. The three-point bending strength at room temperature was observed for the nanocomposites.

The mechanical properties of mullite $(3Al_2O_3\;2SiO_2)$ environmental barrier coatings are determined using a laser-based ultrasonic system. The waveforms generated by a laser source in mullite coatings in the $1-20{\mu}m$ thickness range are evaluated theoretically using the integral transform technique. It is shown that the laser source generated the two lowest order SAW modes in these systems. Experimental waveforms are generated using a 600ps pulsed Nd:YAG microchip laser and detected using a stabilized Michelson interferometer. The dispersion curves for the generated modes are extracted from the experimental data and the mechanical properties of the coatings are obtained by minimizing the error between the measured and calculated velocity values. The waveforms generated in mullite coatings agree well with theory and laser-based ultrasonics is shown to provide an effective tool for the nondestructive evaluation of ceramic coatings.

Al 금속분말을 zircon sand (ZrSiO$_4$)와 A1$_2$O$_3$혼합체에 첨가하여 반응소결시킴으로써 무수축 Mullite-ZrO$_2$, 요업체를 얻고자 하였다. 반응식, 3(Al+Al$_2$O$_3$)+2ZrSiO$_4$$\longrightarrow$3A1$_2$O$_3$ .2SiO$_2$+2ZrO$_2$에 의하여 ZrO$_2$-강화 Mullite 요업체를 제조하였다. Al 분말은 A1$_2$O$_3$에 대해 0-30 무게 퍼센트까지 대체하였다. 평량한 분말을 볼밀하여 혼합 분쇄한 후, 정수압 성형하여 시편을 제조하고, 온도범위 1450-1$600^{\circ}C$에서 3시간 반응소결시켰다. Al의 충분한 산화를 위해, 한편으로는 125$0^{\circ}C$에서 5시간동안 열처리를 거친후 소성온도로 올리기도 했다. Al을 첨가함으로서 반응은 촉진되었으며, 소성수축도 산화한 Al의 부피팽창에 의해 상쇄되어, 무수축요업체 제조의 가능성을 보였다. 박편모양을 한 비교적 큰 Al분말이 잘 분쇄되지 않음으로 해서, Al이 자리했던 곳에 큰 기공을 남겼다.
