The machinability of ceramics has been experimentally studied. The experiments were conducted on alumina cernmics of various purity, quartz, and cordierite using the sintered diamond tools and CBN tools. Tool wasre, surface roughness, and cutting resistence were measured and analysed. It was found that the workpieces could be machined with the diamond and CBN tools, but the sintered diamond tools were more efficient for the machining of the high strength ceramics. The machining of alumina ceramics with sintered diamond tools showed that (1) wet machining prolonged tool life comparing with dry machining, (2) workpiecewith higher purity had better surface roughness, (3) severe cutting conditions led to the chipping and fracture of tool and increase of the surface roughness and cutting resistance, (4) 20~40m/min of cutting speed, 0.01~0.02mm/rev of feed, and 0.1~0.2mm of cutting depth are suggested as proper cutting conditions for the high strength ceramics.

$Ba(Mg_{1-x}Co_x)TaO_3$[BMCT] ceramics were prepared by the conventional mixed oxide method. The ceramics were sintered at the temperature of 1525 $\sim$ 1625$^{\circ}C$ for 5hr. in air. The crystal structure of BMCT ceramics was investigated by the XRD. The microstructure of the specimens were observed by SEM. The structural properties of BMCT specimens were investigated as a function of composition and sintering temperature. All BMCT ceramics sintered over 1575$^{\circ}C$ were showed a polycrystalline complex perovskite structure without second phases and any unreacted materials. The density of BMCT (90/10) specimen sintered at 1575$^{\circ}C$ was 7.75g/$cm^2$. As the Co contents decreased, the ordering parameter of B-site in BMCT increased. The ordering parameter of BMCT(90/10) specimen sintered at 1575$^{\circ}C$ was 0.98.

The (Ba$_{0.3}$Bi$_{0.3}$Sr$_{0.4}$)TiO$_3$[BBST] ceramics were prepared by conventional mixed oxide method. The structural properties of the BBST ceramics with sintering temperature were investigated by XRD, SEM, EDS. In the case of BBST ceramics sintered at 1150~135$0^{\circ}C$, the $Ba_{0.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$TiO$_3$and SrBi$_4$Ti$_4$O$_{15}$ phase were coexisted. The 2$\theta$ value of the BST (110) peaks were shifted to the lower degree at the sintering temperature of 130$0^{\circ}C$ and 135$0^{\circ}C$. The grains of the BBST ceramics sintered at 130$0^{\circ}C$ and 135$0^{\circ}C$ were not appeared. Increasing the sintering temperature, the densities of the BBST ceramics were increased. In the BBST ceramics sintered at 130$0^{\circ}C$ and 135$0^{\circ}C$, the mole ratio of Bi was decreased.d.ed.d.d.d.

Lead-free (1-x)$(Na_{0.5}K_{0.5})NbO_3$-xBa($Ti_{0.9}Sn_{0.1})O_3$ [NKN-BTS-100x] ceramics doped with 1 mol% $MnO_2$ have been prepared by the conventional solid state method and their structural and piezoelectric properties were investigated. The NKN-BTS-100x ceramics exhibited a dense and homogeneous microstructure when they were sintered at $1030-1150^{\circ}C$. Grain growth was observed for the specimen sintered at relatively low temperature of $1050^{\circ}C$. A tetragonal/orthorhombic morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) in the perovskite structure was also appeared for the NKN-BTS-100x ceramics (0.04$1050^{\circ}C$. The enhanced piezoelectric properties in the NKN-BTS ceramics with a MPB composition were obtained. Especially, for the NKN-BTS-6 ceramics, a high dielectric constant (${\varepsilon}^T_3/\varepsilon_0=1,400$), piezoelectric constant ($d_{33}=237$) and electromechanical coupling factor ($k_p=0.42$) were obtained.

The microstructur and LPG sensing properties of maghemite (${\gamma}-Fe_2O_3$) ceramics have been studied. The acicular and fine spherical shaped iron oxide particles were sintered at below $900^{\circ}C$. The maghemite ceramics were prepared by reduction-oxidation of sintered iron oxide. With the microstructure of acicular and/or fine grains, the maghemite ceramics have good LPG sensing properties. Increased sintering temperature deteriorates the LPG sensitivity of maghemite ceramics due to the grain growth. The maghemite ceramics prepared from the mixed iron oxide, of a large amount of acicular particles and a small amount of spherical ones, have a lower LPG sensitivity than that of the acicular iron oxide ceramics. But, they seem to be of higher mechanical strength. The optimum working temperature for LPG sensing of the maghemite ceramics was found to be $300~350^{\circ}C$.

In this study, presintered and full sintered low purity alumina ceramics were machined with various tools to clarify the effect of cutting fluid in machinability. The main conclusions obtained were as follows. When the presintered ceramics were wet machined with sintered diamond tool, the tool wear becomes extremely large, and higher cutting speed can be used than in the case of full sintered ceramics. The productivity of wet cutting with the sintered diamond tool is much higher than that of dry cutting. In the case of the CBN and ceramic tools, the tool wear were smaller at wet cutting than at dry cutting, especially exhibiting considerably larger grooved tool wear in wet cutting with ceramic tool.

Cordierite ceramics with low dielectric constants were obtained through sol-gel techniques using as metal alkoxides. The powders for the sintered cordierite ceramics were prepared by hydrolysis of metal alkoxides with ethanol and distilled water. In the hydrolysis, the mole ratio of HCI/TEOS was controlled by changing the amount of HCI as a catalyst. The sol-gel derived powders were dried, pressed, and fired at $1300^{\circ}C$. The dried powders were calcined at $800{\circ}C$ for 3hours to remove residual organics. The fired bodies with different dielectric constants were obtained by using HCI adjusted to various mole ratios of HCI/TEOS in the process. The variation of the amount of HCI catalyst led to a significant influence on dielectric contant, which was attributed to the formation of pores in the sintered body. Especially, the porosity of the sintered body influenced the dielectric constants.

The green body was fabricated by a new forming method, pressureless powder packaing forming method, and the characteristics of sintered specimen were investigated. It was found that alumina ceramics prepared by the present method showed porous structure with narrow pore size distribution, and in case of abrasive powder sintered body, compared with dry-pressed specimen, had the nearly same density. Especially, the specimen prepared with spray-dried granules showed the characteristic that granules were not either deformed or fractured during forming and sintering process. Therefore, it was found that this new forming method was effective method in fabrication of porous ceramics on account of easy control of porosity and pore size and its high thermal stability.
