The electrical conductive mechanism and temperature dependence of electrical resistivity of ${\beta}-SiC+ZrB_2$ composites with $Al_2O_3+Y_2O_3$ contents were investigated. The electrical resistivity of hot-pressed composites was measured by the Pauw method from $25^{\circ}C$ to $700^{\circ}C$. The electrical resistivity of the composites showed the PTCR(Positive Temperature Coefficient Resistivity) and follow the electrical conduction model for a homogeneous mixture of two kind of particles with different conductivity. Also, the electrical resistivity versus temperature curves indicate the formation of local chains of $ZrB_2$ particles.

Conductive SiC-$ZrB_2$ composites were produced by subjecting a 40:60 (vol%) mixture of zirconium diboride (ZrB2) powder and ${\beta}$-silicon carbide (SiC) matrix to spark plasma sintering (SPS). Sintering was carried out for 5 min in an argon atmosphere at a uniaxial pressure and temperature of 50 MPa and $1500^{\circ}C$, respectively. The composite sintered at a heating speed of $25^{\circ}C$/min and an on/off pulse sequence of 12:2 was denoted as SZ12L. Composites SZ12H, SZ48H, and SZ10H were obtained by sintering at a heating speed of $100^{\circ}C$/min and at on/off pulse sequences of 12:2, 48:8, and 10:9, respectively. The physical, electrical, and mechanical properties of the SiC-$ZrB_2$ composites were examined and thermal image analysis of the composites was performed. The apparent porosities of SZ12L, SZ12H, SZ48H, and SZ10H were 13.35%, 0.60%, 12.28%, and 9.75%, respectively. At room temperature, SZ12L had the lowest flexural strength (286.90 MPa), whereas SZ12H had the highest flexural strength (1011.34 MPa). Between room temperature and $500^{\circ}C$, the SiC-$ZrB_2$ composites had a positive temperature coefficient of resistance (PTCR) and linear V-I characteristics. SZ12H had the lowest PTCR and highest electrical resistivity among all the composites. The optimum SPS conditions for the production of energy-friendly SiC-$ZrB_2$ composites are as follows: 1) an argon atmosphere, 2) a constant pressure of 50 MPa throughout the sintering process, 3) an on/off pulse sequence of 12:2 (pulse duration: 2.78 ms), and 4) a final sintering temperature of $1500^{\circ}C$ at a speed of $100^{\circ}C$/min and sintering for 5 min at $1500^{\circ}C$.

The mechanical and electrical properties of the hot-pressed and annealed $\beta-SiC-ZrB_2$ electroconductive ceramic composites were investigated as a function of the liquid forming additives of$Al_2O_3+Y_2O_3$ Phase analysis of composites by XRD revealed $\alpha-SiC(6H) ZrB_2\; and YAG(Al_5Y_3O_{12})$ The relative density of composites were increased with increased Al2O3+Y2O3 contents. The Flexural strength showed the highest value of 390.6MPa for composites added with 20wt% Al2O3+Y2O3 additives at room temperature. Owing to crack deflection crack bridging phase transition and YAG of fracture toughness mechanism the fracture toughness showed the highest value of 6.3MPa.m1/2 for composites added with 24wt% Al2O3+Y2O3 additives at room temperature. The resistance temperature coefficient showed the value of$ 2.46\times10^{-3}\;, 2.47\times10^{-3},\; 2.52\times10^{-3}/^{\circ}C$ for composite added with 16, 20, 24wt% Al2O3+Y2O3 additives respectively.

Akali-resistant porous glass was prepared by phase separation in Na2O-B2O3-SiO2 system containing ZrO2 and MgO. ZrO2 was added for alkali-resistance and MgO for anti-cracking during leaching. Optimal content of ZrO2 for alkali-resistance was 7wt% and devitrification by heat treatment resulted from further addition. Pore size and pore volume were decreased and specific surface area was increased with ZrO2 addition due to depression in phase separation. Addition of 3mol% MgO to mother glass containing 7wt% ZrO2 was effective for anti-crack during leaching. In this case, with phase separation at 55$0^{\circ}C$ and 5$25^{\circ}C$ for 20 hrs. crack-free porous glasses could be prepared. The relation between pore size r and heat treatment time t at 55$0^{\circ}C$ was D=25.58＋18.16t. According to measurement of gas permeability, the mechanism of gas permeation was Knudsen flow. N2 and He permeability of porous glass which was prepared by heat treatment at 55$0^{\circ}C$ for 20 hrs. were 0.843$\times$10-7mol/$m^2$.s.Pa and 2.161$\times$10-7mol/$m^2$.s.Pa respectively.

Flexural strength showed the highest of 301.33MPa for composites added with 8wt% $Al_{2}O_{3}+Y_{2}O_{3}$ additives at room temperature. Owing to crack deflection and crack bridging of fracture toughness mechanism, the fracture toughness showed the highest of $3.6979MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$ for composites added with 8wt% $Al_{2}O_{3}+Y_{2}O_{3}$ additives at room temperature. The electrical resistivity was measured by the Pauw method from $25^{\circ}C$ to $700^{\circ}C$. The electrical resistivity of the composites showed the PTCR(Positive Temperature Coefficient Resistivity).

The effect of spray deposition of oxide particles on oxidation behaviors of as-cast Mo-14.2Si-9.6B (at%) alloys at $1200^{\circ}C$ up to for 100 hrs has been investigated. Various oxide powders are utilized to make coatings by spray deposition, including $SiO_2,\;TiO_2,\;ZrO_2,\;HfO_2$ and $La_2O_3$. It is demonstrated that the oxidation resistance of the cast Mo-Si-B alloy can be significantly improved by coating with those oxide particles. The growth of the oxide layer is reduced for the oxide particle coated Mo-Si-B alloy. Especially, for the alloy with $ZrO_2$ coating, the thickness of oxide layer becomes only one fifth of that of uncoated alloys when exposed to in air for 100 hrs. The reduction of oxide scale growth of the cast Mo-Si-B alloy due to oxide particle coatings are discussed in terms of the change of viscosity of glassy oxide phases that form during oxidation at high temperature.

The mechanical and electrical properties of the hot-pressed and annealed $\beta$-SiC-ZrB$_2$ electroconductive ceramic composites were investigated as function of the liquid forming additives of $Al_2$O$_3$+Y$_2$O$_3$. Phase analysis of composites by XRD revelled $\alpha$ -SiC(6H), ZrB$_2$, and YAG(Al$_{5}$ Y$_3$O$_{12}$ ). Owing to crack deflection, crack bridging, phase transition and YAG of fracture toughness mechanism, the fracture toughness showed the highest value of 6.3MPa.m$^{1}$2/ for composites added with 24wt% $Al_2$O$_3$+Y$_2$O$_3$additives at room temperature. The resistance temperature coefficient respectively showed the value of 2.46$\times$10$^{-3}$ , 2.47$\times$10$^{-3}$ , 2.52$\times$ 10$^{-3}$ $^{\circ}C$ for composite added with 16, 20, 24wt% A1$_2$O$_3$+Y$_2$O$_3$additives. The electircal resistivity of the composites was all positive temperature coefficient resistance(PTCR) in the temperature range of $25^{\circ}C$ to 90$0^{\circ}C$.

This study aimed to elucidate the deformation mechanism during low-temperature superplasticity of fine-grained Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo-0.1Si alloy in the context of constitutive equation. For this purpose, initial coarse equiaxed microstructure was refined to $2.2{\mu}m$ via dynamic globularization. Globularized microstructure exhibited large superplastic elongations(434-826%) at temperatures of $650-750^{\circ}C$ and strain rate of $10^{-4}s^{-1}$. It was found that the main deformation mechanism of fine-grained material was grain boundary sliding accommodated by dislocation motion with both stress exponent (n) and grain size exponent (p) values of 2. When the alpha grain size, not sub-grain size, was considered to be an effective grain size, the apparent activation energy for low-temperature superplasticity of the present alloy(169kJ/mol) was closed to that of Ti-6Al-4V alloy(160kJ/mol).

The effect of A/B moi ratios and sintering temperatures on dielectric properties and microstructure of $(Ba_{0.93}Ca_{0.07})_m(Ti_{0.82}Zr_{0.18})O_3$ ceramics were investigated. The dielectric constant decreased with increasing the A/B mol ratio. However, the dielectric loss is improved. As the dielectric properties of A/B mol ratio with m = 1.009 at sintered temperature $1260^{\circ}C$, we obtained dielectric constant 12,800, dielectric loss $3.5\%$ and Y5V temperature characteristics. Highly reliable Ni-MLCCs, 1.6mm$(length){\time}0.8mm(width){\time}0.8mm$(height) with capacitance of 1.23 ${\mu}F$ and 야ssipation loss of $5.2\%$ were obtained employing dielectric material composed of $(Ba_{0.93}Ca_{0.07})_{1.009}(Ti_{0.82}Zr_{0.18})O_3$ - $MnO_2\;0.2wt\%-Y_2O_3\;0.18wt\%,\;-\;SO_2\;0.15wt\%-(Ba_{0.4}Ca_{0.6})SiO_3\;1wt\%$.
