Densification behavior and grain growth of zirconia powder compacts are investigated under high temperature. Experimental data are obtained for zirconia powder under pressureless sintering, sinter forging and hot isostatic pressing. The constitutive equations by Kwon et al. are used for diffusional creep and grain growth. The constitutive equations by McMeeking and co-workers are also included to study the effect of power-law creep. These constitutive equations are implemented into a finite element program (ABAQUS) to investigate the friction effect during sinter forging and the canning effect during hot isostatic pressing. The agreements between experimental data and finite element results are very good in pressureless sintering and hot isostatic pressing, but not as good in sinter forging.

Densification characteristics and behavior of tool steel powder compact during high temperature forming processes were investigated under pressure less sintering, sinter forging and hot isostastic pressing. In pressureless sintering, full density was obtained at a closely controlled temperature near the solidus of the material. Finite element calculations from constitutive model for densification by power law creep and diffusional flow were compared with experimental data. Agreements between theoretical calculations and experimental data were good in hot isostatic pressing but not as good in sinter forging.

In describing the plastic deformation behaviour of fine grained materials a phase mixture model in which a polycrystalline material is regarded as a mixture of a crystalline phase and a grain boundary phase has been successful. The deformation mechanism for the grain boundary phase which is necessary for applying the phase mixture model is modelled as a diffusional flow of matter though the grain boundary. The proposed model can explain the strain rate and grain size dependence of the strength of the grain boundary phase.

The residual stress changes on thermo-mechanical loading in the interface region of the Thermal Barrier Coating (TBC)/Thermally Grown Oxide (TGO)/Bond Coat (BC) were calculated on the TBC-coated superalloys using a Finite Element Method (FEM). It was found that the residual stress of the interface boundary was dependent upon mainly the oxide formation and the swelling rate of the oxide by creep relaxation. During an oxide swelling, the relaxation of residual stress which is due to creep deformation increased the TBC's life. In the case of the fine grain size of TGO scale, the TBC stresses piled up by oxide swelling could be relaxed by diffusional creep effect of TGO.

In order to analyze the densification behaviour of stainless steel powder compacts during hot isostatic pressing (HIP) at elevated temperatures, a power-law creep constitutive model based on the plastic deformation theory for porous materials was applied to the densification. Various densification mechanisms including interparticle boundary diffusion, grain boundary diffusion and lattice diffusion mechanisms were incorporated in the constitutive model, as well. The power-law creep model in conjunction with various diffusion models was applied to the HIP process of 316L stainless steel powder compacts under 50 and 100 MPa at 1125 $!`\acute{\dot{E}}$. The results of the calculations were verified using literature data It could be found that the contribution of the diffusional mechanisms is not significant under the current process conditions.

Deformation mechanism map of Langdon-Mohammed type for YBa2Cu3O7-x superconducting ceramic was constructed by considering mechanisms of Nabarro-Herring Coble and powder-law creep and grain boundary sliding (GBS) with an accommodation by grain boundary diffusion. The map was found consistent with experi-mental results not only of the creep the also of the superplastic deformation. It showed the transition from interface reaction-controlled to the grain boundary diffusion-controlled GBS mechanism at about 1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ grain size and 100 MPa flow stress in agreement with the experimental results.

In describing the plastic deformation behaviour of ultrafine-grained materials, a phase mixture model in which a polycrystalline material is regarded as a mixture of a crystalline phase and a grain boundary phase has been successful. The deformation mechanism for the grain boundary phase, which is necessary for applying the phase mixture model to polycrystalline materials, is modelled as a diffusional flow of matter along the grain boundary. A constitutive equation for the boundary diffusion creep of the boundary phase was proposed, in which the strain rate is proportional to (stress/grain siz $e^{2}$). The upper limit of the stress of the boundary phase was set to equal to the strength to the amorphous phase. The proposed model can explain the strain rate and grain size dependence of the strength of the grain boundary phase. Successful applications of the model compared with published experimental data are described.

Tensile tests and creep tests were carried out at high temperatures on an Al-$Al_4C_3$ alloy prepared by mechanical alloying technique. The material contains about 2.0% carbon and 0.9% oxygen in mass percent, and the volume fractions of $Al_4C_3$ and $Al_2O_3$ particles are estimated at 7.4 and 1.4%, respectively, from the chemical composition. Minimum creep rate decreased steeply near two critical stresses, ${\sigma}_{cl}$ (the lower critical stress) and ${\sigma}_{cu}$ (the upper critical stress), with decreasing applied stress at temperatures below 723 K. Instantaneous plastic strain was observed in creep tests above a critical stress, ${\sigma}_{ci}$, at each test temperature. ${\sigma}_{cu}$ and ${\sigma}_{ci}$ were fairly close to the 0.2% proof stress obtained by tensile tests at each test temperature. It is thought that ${\sigma}_{cl}$ and ${\sigma}_{cu}$ correspond to the microscopic yield stress and the macroscopic yield stress, respectively. The lower critical stress corresponds to the local yield stress needed for dislocations to move in the soft region within subgrains. The creep strain in the low stress range below 723 K arises mainly from the local deformation of the soft region. The upper critical stress is equivalent to the macroscopic yield stress necessary for dislocations within subgrains or in subboundaries; this stress can extensively move beyond subboundaries under a stress above the critical point to yield a macroscopic deformation. At higher temperatures above 773 K, the influence of the diffusional creep increases and the stress exponent of the creep rate decreases.

High temperature densification behaviors of alumina powder compacts were investigated under hot pressing and hot isostatic pressing. An alumina part of valve-head shape was fabricated under hot pressing and its forming process was simulated by finite element calculation. an alumina powder compact encapsulated by a stainless steel container was also densified under hot isostatic pressing. Inhomogeneous deformations during hot isostatic pressing due to the canning effect were observed experimentally and predicted by finite element analysis.
