The predominant sintering mechanisms of low firing temperature ceramic substrate which consists of borosilicate glass containing alumina as a filler are the rearrangement of alumina particles and the viscous flow of glass powders. In this system, sintering condition depends on the volume ratio of alumina to glass and on the particle size. When the substrate contains about 35 vol% alumina filler and the average alumina particle size is 4 $\mu\textrm{m}$, the best firing condition is obtained at the temperature range of 900∼1000$^{\circ}C$. The extensive rearrangement behavior occurs at these conditions, and the optimum sintering condition is attained by smaller size of glass particles, too. The formation of cristobalite during sintering causes the difference of thermal expansion coefficient between the substrate and Si chip. This phenomenon degradates the capacity of Si chip. Therefore, the crystallization should be prevented. In the alumina filled borosilicate glass system, the crystallization does not occur. This effect may have some relation with aluminum ions in alumina. For aluminum ions diffuse into glass matrix during sintering, functiong as network former.

With the content of ZnO varing from 10.5 to 47.4 wt%, the crystallization of lithium zinc silicate glass was investigated by DTA, XRD, and SEM. In this work P2O5 was used as nucleation agent. The crystallization temperature was found to increase with the content of ZnO and the microstructure of formed crystalling phases was studied through the scanning electron microscopy. According to the XRD analysis, the crystal phases formed are summarized as follows. 1) The major phases are lithium orthosilicate, lithium disilicate and quartz at 10.5 wt% ZnO. 2) Lithium zinc silicate polymorphous and cristobalite occur in the composition varying 21.3 to 30.8 wt% ZnO. 3) At composition containing 47.4wt% ZnO some quantity of willemite is formed.

In this study, we are observe to the sagger which is composed of cordierite-mullite system. And especialy, we investigated the characteristics of the body which composed of Chamotte-Kaolin-Plastic clay-Talc (or Clinochlore) system and Chamotte-Kaolin-Plastic clay-Agalmatolite-Talc (or Clinochlore) system. The obtained results are as follows. 1. Modulus of rupture and apparent porosity were improved by particle size of talc and clinochlore in order that -16 mesh, -6 mesh, 6-16 mesh. 2. When the body composed of talc, the modulus of rupture was increased as firing temperature was rising up but composed of clnochlore, it was reversed. 3. When added to the agalmatolite, firing shrinkage, modulus of rupture and apparent porosity were improved. 4. Mineral phases of samples fired at 125$0^{\circ}C$ above consist of cordierite, mullite and $\alpha$-cristobalite.

Oxidation behavior of hot-pressed silicon nitride ceramics with various sintering additives has been investigated. The weight gain of each specimens has shown in the range of 0.11 mg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ ~3.4 mg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 140$0^{\circ}C$ for 192 h and eleven compositions have shown good oxidation resistance with the weight gain below 0.5 mg/$\textrm{cm}^2$. The oxidation rate has been shown to obey the parabolic rate law and the oxidized surface has consisted of $\alpha$-cristobalite and M2Si2O7 or MSiO3 (M=rare earth or transition metals) phase. The oxidation rate of each specimens has related to the eutectic temperature between additive oxide and SiO2, and ionic radius of additive oxides, respectively. From the above results, it could be concluded that the oxidation behavior of hot pressed silicon nitride is dominated by the high temperature properties of grain boundary glassy phase and the high temperature properties of grain boundary glassy phase are affected by the ionic radius of additive oxides.

The SiC/MoSi2 composite materials were fabricated by infiltrating the mixture of molybdenum disilicide and metal silicon(MoSi2+Si=100) to a porous compact of silicon carbide and graphite under the vacuum atmosphere of 10-1 torr. The specimen were oxidized in dry air under 1 atm at 130$0^{\circ}C$~150$0^{\circ}C$ for 240 hours. The oxidation behavior was evaluated by the weight gain and loss per unit area of the oxidized samples. Also, SEM and XRD analysis of the oxidized surface of the samples were carried out. With increasing the MoSi2 content and oxidation temperature, the passive oxidation was found. The trend of weight gain of all samples was followed the parabolic rate law with the formation of a protective layer of cristobalite on the surface.

To investigate the evidence for the influence of sea water on Pohang geothermal groundwater, the chemical data for geothermal groundwaters from which are pumped during 48 hours and other hot groundwaters, another groundwater on the well for the purpose of agriculture, were considered. And to predict possible the secondary mineral which are easily to make the clogging, geochemical modeling was carried out using EQ3NR equilibrium solubility code. The results are that 1.4%～3.3%(bulk composition) of sea water were mixed with geothermal groundwater. From the well logging data, when the level of groundwater is drow down, the conductivity is increased in the geothermal groundwater, the existence of transition zone are recognized in the well. The predicted possible secondary minerals are Antigorite [Mg48Si24O85(OH)62], Chrysolite [Mg3Si2O5(OH)4] , Cristobalite, Dolomite, Talc, Tremolite. The recommended cooling temperature of best condition to minimize the production of secondary minerals is same as temperature of geothermal water pumped from the well.

The effect of the processing parameters on the sintered density and strength of silica-bonded SiC (SBSC) ceramics was investigated for three types of batches with different particle sizes. The SBSC ceramics were fabricated by an oxidation-bonding process. The process involves the sintering of powder compacts in air so that the SiC particles bond to each other by oxidation-derived $SiO_2$ glass or cristobalite. A finding of this study was that a higher flexural strength was obtained when the starting powder was smaller. When a ${\sim}0.3_{-{\mu}m}$ SiC powder was used as a starting powder, a high strength of $257{\pm}42\;MPa$ was achieved at a relative density of ${\sim}80%$.

An experimental study has been carried out to investigate the effect of growth rate V and time on secondary dendrite arm spacing of cristobalite dendrites in $14.6K_2O-85.4SiO_2$ glass by means of x-ray diffractormetry optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy The scanning lectron microscopy reveals a two-phase layer of dendritic crystals and interstitial melt which grow from the surface at a constant rate. Based on this experiment secondary arm spacing is proportional to V-0.24 and dendrite coarsening during isothermal holding shows that the secondary arm spacing increases with increasing heat-treatment time.

Thermal expansion property of $SiO_2-Al_2O_3$ system consisted of Muan clay, Hadong Pink Kaolin and Dangjin Silica was studied. Specimens were heated at the constant rate of 18$0^{\circ}C$/hr to the max. temperatures of 115$0^{\circ}C$ to 130$0^{\circ}C$ with an interval of $25^{\circ}C$, and matured for 3hrs. The result of X-Ray diffraction analysis showed that main crystals formed were $\alpha$-quartz, $\alpha$-cristobalite and mullite. Linear thermal expansion was measured at 90$0^{\circ}C$. The results of the linear thermal expansion were decreased regularly with the increase of the sintering temperature in accordance with the following equation. $y=5$\chi$\perp1100^{\circ}$. Where $\chi$ is amounts of kaolin (wt%), and y is temperature of the changing point of linear thermal expansion.
