In order to investigate the effect o green microstructure on the sintering behavior and properties of AlN ceramics, samples were prepared by slip casting and dry pressing. The slip cast samples had high green density, fine pore size and narrow pore size distribution. They showed much higher sinterability and more homogeneous sintered microstructure compared to the dry pressed samples. Both increased thermal conductivity and flexural strength for samples prepared by slip casting could be attributed to the improved microstructural homogeneity with isolated second phase(s).

The green microstructure and sintering behavior of ZrO2 were analyzed in terms of kinetic stability (measured by the stability ratio ; W) and interfacial characteristics of colloidal suspension. Green density and the most frequent pore radius(MFPR) of green body were directly correlated with the stability ratio. These observations were explained using a concept of the critical stability ratio(Wc) and the potential energy of two interacting particles in colloidal suspension. Analysis of the data also indicates that the potential energy barrier between two interacting colloid particles should be higher than its critical value for a fabrication of ZrO2 green body with dense and uniform microstructure. Besides, we have successfully applied a concept of the donoracceptor interaction to increase the kinetic stability of ZrO2 slip and density of green body.

Alumina $(Al_2O_3)$ green bodies were fabricated by gel-casting using three kinds of alumina with different particle size (mean particle size: 4.6 $\mu\textrm{m}$, 0.32 $\mu\textrm{m}$, 10nm). The effects of particle size on gel-casting process and green microstructure were investigated. The optimum dispersion conditions using ammonium salt (D-3019) as dispersant were 0.2 wt% (4.63 $\mu\textrm{m}$), 0.5 wt% (0.32 $\mu\textrm{m}$), and 5.0 wt% (10 nm), in high solid loading. The optimum solid loading of each starting material for gel-casting was obtained as 59 vol% (4.63 $\mu\textrm{m}$), 57 vol% (0.32 $\mu\textrm{m}$), 15 vol% (10 nm), depending on particle size, indicating that nano-size particle (10 nm) represent lower solid loading as high specific surface area than those of other two starting materials. The drying at ambient conditions (humidity; $\thickapprox$90%) was performed more than 48hrs to enable ejection of the part from the mold and then at $120^{\circ}C$ for 2hrs in an air oven, showing no crack and flaw in the dried green bodies. The pore size and distribution of the gelcast green bodies showed the significant decrease with decreasing particle size. Green microstructure was dependent on the pore size and distribution due to the particle size, and on the deairing step. The green density maximum obtained was 58.9% (4.63 $\mu\textrm{m}$), 60% (0.32 $\mu\textrm{m}$), 47% (10 nm) theoretical density (TD), and the deairing step applied before gel-casting did not affect green density.

탄화규소와 카본의 이성분계에서 pH, 계면활성제 및 출발원료의 입도 분포를 이용하여 성형체의 기공크기 및 기공을 제어에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 성형체는 각각 다른 분산조건을 가지는 슬러리를 이장성형법을 이용하여 제조하였으며, 입자간의 응\ulcorner제어에 따른 상이한 성형미세구조를 가지도록 하였다. 제조된 성형체에 대하여 반응소결 공정은 1$600^{\circ}C$, 진공분위기에서 20분간 응용 실리콘 침윤 공정을 행하였다. 초기 성형 미세구조가 반응소결체의 미세구조에 미치는 영향을 관찰하기 위하여 광학 현미경 및 SEM 분석을 통하여 제조된 소결체의 미세구조를 분석하였으며, 그리고 이에 따른 반응 소결체의 기계적 특성을 평가하였다. 각각의 분산조건에 따라 성형미세구조는 다르게 나타났으며, 미세한 탄화규소를 입자를 사용하였을 경우에 기공크기가 현저하게 작아짐을 확인하였다. 제조된 반응소결체의 미세구조 분석결과 일반적인 반응소결 탄화수소에서 발견되는 bimodal 미세구조는 관찰되지 않았으며, 이는 초기 탄화규소의 카본의 비가 중요항 변수인 것으로 분석하였다. 반응소결 탄화규소의 3-점 곡강도 값은 입자간의 분산이 잘 이루어진 성형체를 사용하였을 경우 310$\pm$40 MPa으로서 응집이 일어난 성형체를 사용한 반응소결체의 260$\pm$50MPa 보다 높았다.

The characteristics of spray-dried granules are important for dry pressing operation since they have great influences on die-filling, compaction ratio, and resulting green microstructure. An attempt was made to control granule morphology and the packing structure of fine Si3N4 particles in granules by adjusting suspension property. Mercury porosimetry was used to characterize the pore structures of both granules and green compacts. Finally, the effects of particle packing structure in granules and green microstructure on sintering behavior were investigated.

Corrosion resistance and basic physical properties of solid tantalum are not comparable to most of the structural metallic materials. The relative high cost and melting temperature of tantalum are obstacles to be widely applied to general engineering processes. Electrodeposition in molten salt enables compact and uniform tantalum coating. In this study, Ta was coated onto base metal (SUS316L) with different current densities (0.5, 5, $20mA/cm^2$) by using MSE (Molten Salt Electrodeposition). In this study, it showed that deposition efficiency and microstructure of Ta coating layer were strongly depended on current density. In the case of the current density of $5mA/cm^2$, densest microstructure was obtained. The current density above $5mA/cm^2$ caused non-uniform microstructure due to rapid deposition rate. Dense microstructure and intact coating layer contributed to significant corrosion resistance enhancement.

To study the effect of aggregates on the microstructure of sintered bodies, Mn-Zn ferrite powders were prepared by an alcoholic dehydration method. Aggregate powders and reground powders were used as seeds and matrices, respectively. The mixing ratios for the aggregate and reground powders were varied with the sintering temperatures. Green densities were measured with changes in forming pressure and they were related to the microstructures of the sintered bodies. The aggregates proved to be capable of acting as seeds for abnormal grain growth. When the green density difference between the aggregate and the matrix was large, the aggregate could become the seed of abnormal grain growth. As the forming pressure increased, the more aggregates became seeds of abnormal grain growth.

The light aggregates were fabricated by sintering green bodies made form the fly ash-clay alip. The content of fly ashes in the slip could be increased up to 70wt.% due to controlled rheological behavior of the slip, and the green body of uniform microstructure could be obtained by DCC(Direct Coagulation Casting)method. The apparent density, microstructure and compressive strength for sintered bodies fired at 1100∼1200$^{\circ}C$ were evaluated. The properties of light aggregates fabricated depend on slip density, particle behavior in the slip and sintering conditions. The sintered body prepared by firing a green body made from slip of density 1.60 at 1150$^{\circ}C$/2hr satisfied conditions of a light aggregate as apparent density of 1.49${\pm}$0.02 and compressive strength of 584${\pm}$62kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$.

We fabricated green sheet by tape casting method with fluormica glass-ceramic powders for fabrication of low temperature co-firing substrate. After ball milling with organic additives, we investigated green strength and density of green sheets which were casted by doctor blade machine. Green sheets were sintered at 700 ~ 1,00$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 ~3hrs. Microstructure, linear shrinkage and dielectric constant of substrates were surveyed.

The effects of core materials on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Al casting products have been investigated. The Al casting samples and cylinder head were fabricated by using organic and inorganic binder core respectively, and their microstructure and mechanical properties were evaluated. The Al casting samples fabricated by using inorganic core showed the better mechanical properties such as tensile strength and elongation than those of the Al casting samples fabricated by using organic core. That's because the Al casting samples contained small amount of pore defects and had fine microstructure compared with the Al casting samples fabricated by using organic core. Also, the use of inorganic core effectively reduced harmful gas emission and pollution.
